This morning, when Zeng Ruixiang was going to the old house, Ziqing also had to go with her, she was really curious about how men and women in ancient times went on a blind date, how could she miss the ready-made opportunity? The two came to the old house together, Tian was a little unhappy when he saw Ziqing, but he didn't say anything, not to mention, his son also brought three big watermelons over, Ziqing's watermelon field basically has a few melons left, a few days ago the shopkeeper Zhou came to pull away the last batch, Ziqing is going to destroy the melon vines in the past few days and plant potatoes, so the remaining few are divided.

Seeing that no one had come yet, Ziqing hugged a melon and said that she wanted to give it to her aunt, she still remembered the grace of the egg, as well as Xiao Xiushui. But Ziqing couldn't hold it, so Zhou hurriedly took it, "Ziqing, my aunt's life is also tight, give me a melon to keep a seed, I heard that you picked one for your aunt's family." ”

Ziqing didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and hurriedly gave her the melon.

Zeng Ruixiang held a melon and came to the back room with Ziqing, Ziqing saw a lot of paper clothes nailed to the wooden wall of the hall, green, purple, and yellow, Ziqing saw the Zeng family first, Ziqing said to send watermelons to her to eat, but I didn't expect Zeng to wipe her tears, and told Zeng Ruixiang that she went to her husband's grave to hang clothes on the Zhongyuan Festival, and said that Peng's family is now at home and wants to handle the marriage of the eldest son, and the eldest son refuses to take out his father's inheritance, and the family is also a mess.

Ziqing didn't want to hear it, but she was a little puzzled, didn't the ancients pay attention to filial piety for three years? So I went to find Xiao Xiushui, Xiushui was busy picking up baked cakes in the stove room, Ziqing said: "Aunt Shui, I brought a big watermelon that I planted, I put it at my aunt's, and you will eat it later." I had to go beforehand. "The main thing is that Ziqing is also very busy when she sees her, and besides, today's theme is to see relatives.

Back in the front room, Zeng Ruixiang was also sitting there. There is also a neighbor old woman, two middle-aged women I don't know, one is probably a matchmaker, she doesn't have the classic dress in the movie, but she looks neat and can speak. There are also two young men, one is not tall, less than one meter six, Ziqing looks at him with a simple face, and he is still more nervous, this is probably today's male protagonist, the other is tall, not less than one meter seven, he looks more shrewd, and keeps looking at everything around. There was also a woman in her forties beside them, who was supposed to be their mother.

Tian called Xia Yu out and said a word, and let her in, this is to look at each other, the matchmaker kept introducing the situation of the man's family, surnamed Zhou, it is a bridge village almost twenty miles away from here, farther than Chunyu's house, and I don't know how to inquire. The ancestor was originally very solid, a small landlord, but a few years ago Zhou Dad was sick, many treatments, now it is also maintained, the family's land is sold a lot, the Zhou family has a total of five children, two girls have been married, three sons under two have been married, only the boss, rest assured not next Zhou Dad, has been accompanied to seek medical advice, a year has been delayed, this year is twenty-two years old. The youngest son just got married at the beginning of this year, and Father Zhou knew that time was running out, for fear of delaying the eldest son, so he asked people everywhere to ask for relatives, and promised to separate the family immediately after getting married, and never drag down his son.

Tian was a little unhappy, firstly, he thought that the other party was older, and secondly, there was a patient at home, who knew how long it would be delayed. But the old man is more willing, it is not easy to find such a filial descendant, and he will definitely be good to his daughter in the future, not to mention that the second daughter's health is not good, how can he live without finding an honest and honest person.

The old lady of the Zhou family saw that the conditions of this woman's family were also in the favor, although the family was separated, but one of the two brothers was at the gate of the state government (in fact, Zeng Ruiqing was a copyist or something). A teacher in a school in the county town can't be wrong, and marriage should also be indispensable, although the body is weaker, it's a big deal to do less housework. I made up my mind, and my words became even more eager.

The old man, Tian's, Zeng Ruixiang, and Zhou's went into Xia Yu's room to discuss, Zeng Ruixiang's opinion was similar to that of the old man, and he felt that the other party was honest and duty-bound, and there were still a few acres of land at home, so he could live in peace. After agreeing, everyone came out again, Tian called the matchmaker aside, asked about the dowry and the field, and the matchmaker called the old lady of the Zhou family aside and muttered, seeing Ziqing this funny, she asked directly if she didn't have it.

The final result, the Zhou family can't get the dowry, and if they want the dowry, they have to sell the land, and the field is given to Xia Yu himself, of course, the premise is that Xia Yu marries the past, so the meaning of the Zhou family's wife is not empty, there are fifteen acres of good paddy fields at home, five acres of one son, eight acres of dry land, the eldest son does not give a dowry, the eldest son gets four acres of dry land, and the two sons have married and have a dowry, so they get two acres of dry land.

"Old sister-in-law, you are also for the good of the child, you have the final say, you want a dowry, I will sell the land immediately when I go home, but aren't we all for the sake of the child? It's not easy to buy back this land after it is sold, you say, that's the reason. Old sister-in-law, do you want a dowry, and I'm worried that my Zhou family will regret it, I will immediately find Li Zheng to write a contract when I go back to the village, what do you think? "The old lady of the Zhou family is quite able to speak.

The old man pondered for a while and said: "This is the reason, but the routine of seeing relatives, fixing relatives, changing posts, and welcoming relatives should not be missing a step." Why don't you make some new clothes for your children? ”

"It should be, it should be, it's simpler to have a head and face, we are croppers, we make clothes for all seasons, make satin jackets in winter, idle at home in winter, and string relatives are also decent, what do you think?" The old lady of the Zhou family hurriedly agreed.

"You can't be too busy getting married, so it's better to find someone to calculate." Tian's request.

"It's no problem, I'll find someone to calculate when I go back, but, old sister-in-law, can we set it before the year, I'm afraid that my old man will say something unpleasant, in case there is something, you can rest assured."

"I'm afraid this is not good, the first year of marriage is too rushed, and besides, my family is still waiting for the silver from my sons at the end of the year to do things. Let's do it first, pick another day, we have to go to your house to see each other, and we will add up the total, and you will also go home to sum up. Tian proposed to send off the guests, and the end of the look. Ziqing thought she would take care of a meal.

Two days later, Tian took Xia Yu to Qiao Village with Zhou and Shen, and Tian was quite satisfied when he came back. Shen said, you can't be wrong when you look at the conditions at home, the house still has a yard, the main house is a living room with six rooms, and there is a partial house, Xia Yu wants to marry it, it is a long house, and you can get a large partial house in the east.

This family affair is basically considered a success, and the next thing is to set up a marriage, I heard that it will be put after the autumn harvest, however, the stone in Tian's heart has landed, and he laughs at Mimi all day long, saying that he wants to start preparing for the dowry, and Qiuyu's needlework is good, so help with it.

After Xia Yu's matter was settled, Zeng Ruixiang didn't go out, Ziqing asked her father to turn over the watermelon field at home twice, she had already prepared the potato sprouts, and the family spent two days just planting it, and it rained a little rain.
