It turned out that Qiuyu was going to get married, Tian had been a headache for his little daughter, Qiuyu said that he would not marry a farmer, Tian asked people everywhere, Qiuyu was already fifteen years old, and this year was decided, no matter how early he was, he would marry next year, and his age was just right.

This round is also a coincidence, it just so happens that the Zhou family in the neighboring village Ximiao Village is the Zhou family, and Ziqing found out that there are really a lot of people with the surname Zhou here, and almost all the surrounding villages are. Having said that, this week's eldest son has been doing bookkeeping in some iron mine near the Xinzhou capital, which is equivalent to modern statistics and other work, which is relatively lightweight, and it is safe without going to the mine. The salary is also okay, it is said that there are twelve taels of silver a year, which is two taels more than Zeng Ruiqing. I have seen each other a few days ago, and it is said that the other party looks like a talent, and both parties are still relatively satisfied.

Shen felt that it was so far away, how to live in the future, it was difficult to take Qiuyu to the mine, I heard that there was no woman, and the separation between the two places was not so easy, and he had not experienced it himself all these years. Shen told Tian about this.

Who knew that Tian Shi heard this and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I am her mother, won't I really think about her?" It's rare that Qiu Yu is willing to take a fancy to him, is it possible to stay here and stay as an old girl? Qiu Yu is also so old, she has been a high-spirited person since she was a child, and she has a calculation in her heart, she has already calculated, the two of them will each earn a few years of silver, and when they come back to rent a shop or something, they will suffer for three or five years. Shen was silent when he heard this.

The Zhou family has three sons and three daughters, Qiu Yu said that he is the eldest son, Ziqing saw it, he looks really good, like a scholar, it is said that he has indeed gone to private school for a few years, and there are a few acres of thin land in the family, and there is an eldest sister who is married.

Ziqing was not interested in these, so she went to the back room to find Xiushui, the eldest son of the Xiao family had moved away, the house was now unoccupied, and the new furniture in the house had also been moved, however, Xiushui said that her second brother also said that he was married, Ziqing smiled and said: "How is it a happy event everywhere this year, my second aunt is married, my sister-in-law said that I am married, and your family is also two eldest brothers who want to marry one after another." ”

Who knew that Xiushui was a little sad when she heard it, and said: "According to me, it's not a good thing, my second brother will also leave home after getting married, the woman's conditions are good, she is from the county, she will not marry to the countryside, my second brother is going to move to the county seat." My eldest brother is gone, my second brother is leaving, the house is getting more and more deserted, I think we were all together before, how lively and interesting it was, but now it's good, one by one is gone. ”

Also, the elder brother who grew up together since childhood, said that if he didn't want a home, he didn't want it, seeing that the family was getting more and more deserted, everyone used to be crowded together, and it was not enough to live, Ziqing's family moved away first, and then the two sons of the Xiao family, the Zhou family also left, Xia Yu got married, and it turned out that chickens and dogs were jumping all day long, but now it is deserted everywhere.

Ziqing thought that her current home was not the same, the eldest brother went out to study, and then the second brother would go out in two years, "There is really no feast in the world that will not be dispersed." Ziqing sighed. What's more, his parents and family in the last life have no possibility of seeing each other again in this life, Ziqing couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed in a low voice.

Xiushui was anxious, and asked vigorously: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you, why are you crying while talking?" ”

Ziqing felt a little embarrassed after crying, wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "It's not all you, I have to say this, I think that you will get married in less than two years, and I don't know where to marry, whether you are doing well or not, I am sad." ”

"That's not easy, where I marry, you marry, we'd better marry into the same family, it's better."

Ziqing was happy when she heard it, but she was really childish, "It's not up to you and me to have the final say, okay, let's go see my third uncle." ”

When the two of them passed, the Zhou family had already arrived, and it was a long set of parents, so there was no need to elaborate. Ziqing only knew that the conditions of the third aunt's family were not as good as the second aunt's father, but the sister-in-law had calculations and a good embroidery hand, and the silver taken by the sister-in-law was guaranteed by drought and flood, and the second aunt had to watch the sky to eat, and the most important thing was that the second aunt's body The annual medicine money is also a large expense, so it seems that the sister-in-law's life will definitely be good.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and it finally rained heavily in May, Ziqing asked her third cousin to plant potatoes on four acres of dry land, which was drought-resistant and high-yielding. Shen put out a batch of steers at home, this chicken was bought at the beginning of November last year, there are four or five catties, Ziqing saw that the watermelon was growing well, but it was still not very ripe, and it would take ten days to wait, don't count on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Zeng Ruixiang and Zeng Zifu came back, the family loved to sit on the wooden board in the study at night, each doing their own things, Zeng Ruixiang guided Zilu's homework, Zifu read, Zishou accompanied Zixi to sit on the floor and play with wooden blocks, Shen did needlework, Ziqing was a needlework and a needlework, Ziqing was ready to change the bedding at home into a set, she first picked a small flower cloth with a white background and light purple, from the pillow to the quilt cover to the sheets The whole four-piece set, He likes it very much, saying that it feels fragrant when sleeping and dreaming.

Shen saw that it was really good, bought several pieces of cloth back, and said that it was much cheaper to buy, Shen especially liked this quilt cover, it was much easier, it was hard for Ziqing to come up with it, every time he washed the quilt, he had to dismantle and sew it every time he washed it, and the trouble was dead, so he couldn't wash the quilt twice a year, and it was much more convenient to disassemble and wash it this time, and Ziqing also sewed the belts on the four corners of the quilt, and ran around with the quilt that was tied.

"Mother, this is very simple, every time I also think that it is very troublesome to dismantle the quilt every time, if there is something that can cover the quilt, it is much easier to only uncover and wash it every time, I thought of this, but the quilt loves to slide around in it, it would be nice to have a rope tied to it, mother, or I'm smart, I like the house to look neat and clean, no bells and whistles, so I use the same cloth to make sheets and pillowcases." Ziqing's explanation completely dispelled Shen's doubts, in her opinion, this daughter has been eccentric since she was a child, and she can always bring unexpected surprises.

This time Zeng Ruixiang and Zifu went home, Shen said that they should take a set to the school first, this more than half a year of practice, Ziqing's stitches are much thinner, she wanted to make a backpack for her eldest brother, but as long as she thought of wearing a long shirt and carrying a backpack, how could she not match it, it was purely funny.

He was taken back by her eldest son for the holiday, Zeng Ruixiang said that he would call the old man and them to spend together, anyway, there were only three people over there, this time there were no moths, Tian just saw the new bedding at home, complained a few words of waste of money, and then carefully asked how to do it, it is estimated that he wants to prepare a dowry for his youngest daughter, and specially called Qiu Yu to see it. This has no technical content, at a glance, women in ancient times almost knew how to needlework, the rich don't have to worry about washing bedding, they have their own servants, and the poor are willing to go out and buy these, I'm afraid that even the quilt is patched and patched, so Ziqing didn't think about using it to do something.

Tian said that Qiu Yu's family affairs are scheduled for next year's autumn harvest, Qiu Yu's birthday is the second half of the year, and Tian wants her to marry when she is sixteen years old. Speaking of Xia Yu again, I don't know how I'm doing now, whether I'm sick or not, the last time I sent a letter to say that the family was separated, the Tian family asked them to take the paddy field out, Xia Yu's body can't do any work in the field, and how difficult the Chunyu family's livelihood is, etc.

Ziqing saw that Tian's heart was full of concern for his three daughters, but he didn't mention anything about Zhou's who was recuperating from his broken leg, how to say that they had lived together for more than ten years, and had waited for her for more than ten years, Ziqing couldn't help but feel that Tian's was a little cold.
