Chapter 27: Rejection
The third aunt put down the needle and thread in her hand, moved closer to Ah Xing's direction, and said: "Originally, I should have told your father directly about this kind of thing, but your father was very arrogant, and he wouldn't go to his heart when he told him, and now that you are so old, your family is only you and your father, so I told you." ”
The third aunt paused, and then said, "Actually, I have a distant cousin who lives outside the city. A few years younger than your father, my son and husband are dead, and now I am alone, my cousin has an excellent temperament, and her appearance is passable, and the housework and needlework are also good, I see that your father is a real person, so I will introduce my cousin to him, you go back and talk to your father, you speak, maybe your father will listen. If he agrees, my cousin will come over one day and let them see him. ”
Ah Xing was a little moved when she heard this, she was a widow with no children, she was capable and had a good temperament, and she sounded quite compatible with her father. She thought about it and said to the third aunt: "I'll go back to find out my father's tone first, and if he is also interested, I'll tell you again!" ”
The third aunt smiled and agreed: "Okay, I know that A-Xing is a sensible child, and I know that for the sake of your father." I also see that your father and daughter are good people, otherwise I wouldn't bother to worry about it. ”
Ah Xing hurriedly said: "Thank you for the kindness of the third aunt, if it really happens in the future, our family will not forget you as a matchmaker!" ”
The third aunt smiled and picked up the needle and thread in her hand again, sewing her clothes, and said to Ah Xing: "You are one year younger than our Xiaoxi, you see that our Xiaoxi is still a child, you don't understand anything, how can you be so sensible!" It's really ......" She wanted to say that it was really a motherless child who was sensible early, but suddenly remembered that this must be Ah Xing's sadness, so she hurriedly stopped, and a feeling of pity rose in her heart, thinking, such a good child, she must pay attention to a better person.
Ah Xing watched the needle and thread in her hand flying in the fabric, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxi is also very good, yesterday Uncle Li praised Xiaoxi's food for being better than me, and my father was anxious, so he asked me to learn more from you, third aunt." ”
"If you want to get married, that's a must. Don't worry, I will teach you well, and when you get married, you will definitely not lose to Bixiaoxi's child! ”
Ah Xing saw that the third aunt was so enthusiastic and knew that she was also well-intentioned, so she also decided to learn from her well, to be able to cook a little well, to make her father eat happily, to be able to sew a few clothes for her father, so that he could dress clean and decent, no matter how you say it, it is a good thing.
As for getting married, she's still young anyway, so let's talk about it when someone is the matchmaker.
At dinner in the evening, Ah Xing asked her father tentatively: "Daddy, Uncle Wang at the entrance of the alley seems to be about to continue the strings, and I heard that he will enter the door after filling the house in a few days!" ”
Li Runfu was eating, and he let out an "oh", and there was no special reaction.
Ah Xing wanted to use this incident as an introduction and slowly get down to business, but her father's reaction was too cold, and Ah Xing's topic was difficult to continue. She looked at her father and couldn't help asking, "Daddy, don't you have any ideas?" ”
Li Runfu took a bite of rice into his mouth, and when he heard his daughter's question, he couldn't help but raise his head and replied vaguely: "It's strange, Brother Wang continues to string, what can I think!" ”
Ah Xing sighed for her father's coarse nerves, she should find a woman to come back and talk to her father to relieve her boredom, otherwise her father's nerves will become more and more dull!
"Daddy, my mother has been gone for so long, you haven't thought about continuing the string?" Ah Xing simply said clearly.
Li Runfu was stunned, he didn't expect his daughter to turn the topic to himself, after his wife's death, he was all about his two daughters, plus he was disabled, and his family was too poor, so he never thought about continuing.
He sighed and whispered, "Daddy has a broken arm, how can an ordinary good woman want to marry someone like me?" We had just bought a horse, and we had to order a carriage, so how could we afford to continue the strings, and then I had to concentrate on my work, and I was not in the mood for that. ”
Ah Xing heard a faint inferiority complex in his tone, and felt very uncomfortable, "Daddy, although you have a broken arm, you are no worse than anyone else in your work, and there will definitely be good women willing to enter the door." The third aunt told me......"
"Okay, Ah Xing, don't say it again, now I just want to make more money to make your life more comfortable, and then watch you happily get married, and I also want to leave some money for Ah Yin, in case, I mean in case, she is not doing well in the Hu family, and the family can also help her a little. I don't want to think about the rest. I know you care about your father, but these things are not something that you should worry about as a girl, you study with the third aunt well, and don't worry about other things. ”
Seeing her father say this, Ah Xing knew that if she continued to talk about it, it would have no result, and it would only have the opposite effect, so she didn't say anything more. But her desire to continue the strings for her father has not diminished at all. It's just that now it seems that this kind of thing can't be rushed, you have to take it slowly, Ah Xing is convinced that if there is a good woman by her father's side, her father will definitely be happier than now.
The next day, Ah Xing told the third aunt that her father had no plans to continue the string for the time being, and the third aunt said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, my cousin won't come over until a few months later when Xiaoxi gets married, and then we won't say anything and let them meet, it depends on whether they have this fate." ”
Ah Xing felt that this was very good, so she smiled and said to the third aunt: "Ah Xing, thank the third aunt for bothering!" ”
After a week, the family's stables were built, and because the yard was not large, the stables were relatively small, and they could hold up to two horses. The stable is covered with a straw canopy and a trough in front of it, although it is simple, but the workmanship is still very strong. Li Yunfu had a smile on his face when he led the horse in, and in his opinion, what a joy it was to have a horse.
Because he is a neighbor, the price of Li Carpenter's hand is very fair, and Li Runfu specially bought a pound of meat to invite him to eat at home in order to thank him. Ah Xing made these meats into braised pork, which was a new dish she learned from her third aunt, and Carpenter Li ate the dishes made by Ah Xing, and couldn't help but praise her for making a lot of progress in cooking. Li Runfu saw that his daughter had this kind of achievement after only studying with the third aunt for a week, and secretly praised his daughter's cleverness in his heart, but also thought that he would repay the third aunt for this kindness when he had the opportunity in the future.
After the stable was built, it was time to buy a carriage, and the first four-wheeled carriage on Boss Wang's side was successfully built!
