Aoki said in a sullen voice: "I haven't talked to her a few times, I don't know her at all, what do you like!" ”

He still has something to say in his heart - Zhang Huai should like Liu'er, why didn't she go to Huaizi for help? But looking at the chrysanthemum in the shadows, he didn't dare to say it. He knows that his sister likes Huaizi, and he is afraid that his sister will be stinging when he hears this!

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but say: "Liu'er is really unlucky-such a mother on the stall!" She cried so hard today, but I can't help her! ”

Aoki was silent. He thought to himself, his sister herself is the most unlucky person, and she is pitiful!

The brother and sister were speechless for a while, the autumn wind outside the window was blowing, and the chrysanthemums looked through the narrow square window, looking at the dark night outside, and the stars twinkled in the sky!

After a while, he said to Aoki: "When my brother studies for two years, our family will be better at that time, so I must find a good sister-in-law for my brother." ”

Aoki listened to it, but his heart was sad.

He was silent for a while before he said firmly to Chrysanthemum: "Chrysanthemum, if you are afraid, my brother will definitely treat you well." Even if you don't marry for the rest of your life, my brother will support you! Brother won't let people bully you! ”

"Flutter!" Chrysanthemum chuckled.

She was really impressed. In such a place, it is really a blessing for her to have such an older brother and father. God is fair, he made her ugly, but gave her family affection that gold can't exchange!

"Well, I believe brother! But brother, don't worry about me all day long. You see I'm so capable, even if I can't get married, I can still live a good life! It's even easier with my brother, dad and mom helping me! In the dark, her thin voice was full of confidence!

Aoki has really felt that the spirit of chrysanthemums has changed recently. He also cheered up and said, "Hmm! Let's work hard for two years and build a house like the village chief's house. A nice room will be set up for you. ”

Chrysanthemum was very happy to listen to it, and this kind of warm conversation was intoxicating. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother, you go back and inquire about it, see who has a puppy, let's catch one and raise it." Our family lives on the side of this mountain, and feeding a dog is also more steady. Besides, I love dogs! ”

Aoki found that Chrysanthemum had been timid and cowering before, and after a death catastrophe, her innocent nature seemed to be released, which of course made him happy.

So he agreed, "What's so difficult about this?" Uncle Zhao San's family has a female dog, but she is not pregnant yet. I'll go and ask who has it, and catch one. Wait a little longer, and I'll take you up the hill to catch rabbits. ”

Chrysanthemum hurriedly asked, "You don't know how to shoot arrows, how can you catch it?" ”

Aoki said: "You can set a trap!" You can also hit with a slingshot - I'm good at hitting a slingshot. Knock it out with a stone first, and then it's much easier to chase it down. ”

At this time, Yang walked into the room and said to the brother and sister: "The black light is blind, why don't you go to sleep?" I can't get up when I see Ming'er. ”

Chrysanthemum said to Yang: "Mother, I just fell asleep after eating, and my stomach was uncomfortable!" We're also looking for someone to make a fire bucket. After eating in the winter, the family gathers around the fire barrel to roast the fire, gossip, and go to bed later, okay? ”

Yang walked to the side of the bed, sat down as well, and asked, "What kind of fire bucket?" It's not winter yet, and you're worried. ”

Chrysanthemum said softly: "I'm afraid of the cold." In previous years, I always felt that winter was so difficult, so this year we need to prepare early! The fire bucket is very simple, that is, a circle of wooden planks hoop up, there is no bottom below, there is a layer of partition in the middle, the brazier is placed under the partition, what about people, sit around the stool outside the fire barrel, put their feet on the partition of the fire barrel, and then cover a small quilt on the body, so is it not very warm? ”

When Aoki heard this, he immediately understood, and he said, "This is very simple, and it doesn't cost much wood. I went to Carpenter Lee earlier to make it, and it was used in the winter. ”

Yang sighed and said, "When the family is better, I will give you a new quilt!" "Not to mention the quilt, the girl doesn't even have cotton clothes, she is fooled over every year, no wonder she says it's cold!

She was about to ask her son to go to bed, when Aoki suddenly asked, "Mother, did you go to Qingbei Village to find a matchmaker in the morning?" ”

Yang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Well, I have already asked Mrs. Wang to go to Liujiatang to talk about matchmaking." What's the matter with you? She wondered, could it be that her son got along with a girl?

In the dark, Aoki was silent for a while before replying: "I just thought, our family has no money now, so it's better to wait two years before kissing." At that time, I finally knew a few words, and my family life would definitely be better, and it would be easy to say goodbye. Isn't that bad? Why do you have to make it so that you can't even wear cotton clothes and quilts right now! ”

Yang was very surprised to see that his son, who usually doesn't speak, said such a big call today. Thinking about it again, what he said does make sense, anyway, his son is not very old, what is the hurry? I don't have to save for this family matter, and let my daughter suffer with it!

She said embarrassedly: "You didn't tell your mother a long time ago. I've hired Mrs. Wang. What to do? ”

After a pause, without waiting for Aoki to answer, she said again: "I didn't want to tell you about kissing right now, but I heard your grandmother say that the daughter of Liu Fugui's family is good, and I am afraid that others will take the lead." It is not very difficult to marry a daughter-in-law these days, but it is not easy to marry a virtuous daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law is virtuous, and the future life will be better; If the daughter-in-law is a bad one, then she will be angry in the future. You just say that the flower woman in our village has always been 'not doing serious things, there are more evil things', and she is indispensable to anyone's right and wrong. I won't talk about her, but her mouth is a little broken, and her patience is over; Her body is still very heavy, and she is famous for being lazy to eat! To say that her mother-in-law is really a good person, she is angry with her. Boss Li also has no idea about her, anyway, she is old now, let her toss, otherwise she can be expected to change? The two sons are in their twenties, and the family is poor and white, and there is nothing. She's not in a hurry, and she's chatting around all day long! ”

Chrysanthemum couldn't help asking: "Mother, is the daughter of Liu Fugui's family really so good?" Have you seen it? ”

Yang smiled: "How many times a year can I go back to my mother's house?" I saw her a lot when I was a child, but I didn't see her a few times when she was older - eighty percent of her head of the house was busy. But your grandmother grew up watching her, and she can't be wrong. Or maybe all the people will come to the door to ask for kisses! ”

Chrysanthemum said softly: "My brother is also very good!" If she had vision, she should have responded to this family! ”

Yang couldn't help but laugh when he heard her defend Aoki: "You are a younger sister, of course you think your brother is good." Even I think it's good to have my own son! But this is a kiss, the woman is like this once in her life, so she naturally picks and chooses, and wants to find someone who agrees. In fact, the man is the same, no one wants to marry a lazy daughter-in-law, right? is to pick each other, pick the right eye, and become a family. ”

Chrysanthemum said: "Of course, you have to pick it, but my brother is not afraid of being picked by her." Mother, I went to the ancestral hall today and saw so many male babies, and my brother was the most outstanding! ”

Yang said proudly: "That's! It's not that I'm boasting, our sons and daughters are good, better than many babies in the village. Didn't your grandmother also say that day, your uncle's blessings, joys, and fortunes are not as good as the two of you! ”

Chrysanthemum "giggled" out loud, especially crisp in this silent dark night - this is not boasting, how can it be boasting?

Aoki was praised by his mother and sister, and his face was feverish, and he was embarrassed to sit there without saying a word. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, so he didn't expose his embarrassment. But he was extremely happy in his heart - his mother and sister thought so highly of him!

Yang Shi slowed down again and said in a faint voice: "Speaking of this pick, you really need to have a vision!" There is a family in the Xiatangji area, the head of the family died, and there was a woman with five children left. In less than a year, the woman married with her youngest daughter, leaving four brothers and sisters at home—three boys and a girl, and a few dilapidated houses. But in this way, it didn't take long for the eldest to marry his cousin and separate them out; The second mile sat at home without spending a penny, and married a daughter-in-law. His mother-in-law is a discerning person! Living in the mountains far away from Xiatangji, she heard about this family and how good these babies were, so she paid attention. secretly ran over to take a look at it twice, and felt that the second child was really good, and he didn't want a bride price at the moment, so he married his daughter - what a determination! But guess what, in less than two years, the second child, with the help of his mother-in-law's family, renovated and built a big tiled house - or a building - life is booming! The old sister also got married decilessly, and there was only one brother left who had not yet married, and the person who came to the door to say that the matchmaker had also stepped on the threshold, which could not be compared with the miserable appearance a few years ago! Do you think his mother-in-law is good at picking sons-in-law and has a vision? ”

Chrysanthemum listened to her heart, this is indeed a visionary. This son-in-law is also lucky to meet such a mother-in-law!

Aoki thought that not everyone can have such luck and meet a discerning mother-in-law. Wasn't Huaizi degraded to worthlessness by Liu Erniang? Huaizi is no worse than the second child of the Xiatangji family.

I have a vision, but my sister is like this! Well, my sister actually has to have a vision to find her good, and I hope that in the future, there will be a discerning sister who can pick her sister!

After commenting on the life of that family again, Yang asked Aoki who was sitting in the shadows, "Then what should I do about this family matter?" If you say it, you can't do it? This Liu family's daughter is a good one, but there will be no such store in this village. ”

Aoki said in a low voice: "If her family doesn't want any bride price, she will marry this family; If her family asks for too much bride price, forget it! Besides, didn't my grandmother say that day that her family wanted to keep her for a few years? Even if this family member is said to be successful in the end, he will marry two years later, and he is willing to come to her house if he wants to! ”

Yang thought for a moment and said, "This is an idea. That's it! Alas, then I'll add some bedding and cotton clothes to our family this year - it's not a problem to save so much. You can't eat poorly, you can't wear poor, and you can't calculate that you will be poor for a lifetime! I'm also confused, blind saving! Girl, I suffered you a few years ago! ”
