Qian Dongbao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, owner." You have a rich child, he is shy by nature, but because I want him to eat my bowl of rice, I often pull him to perform for others at home, and he can still withstand it on stage. ”

Du Jinning could only believe his words.

Lu Xiaobei cheered Qian Youcai on the side: "Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of?" With me here, you don't have to be afraid. ”

Qian Youcai was because of timidity, and he was told by his grandfather when he went back last night. Thinking about the poverty of his family again, he took the initiative to say to Du Jinning: "Don't worry, I may be afraid when I am alone, but with Brother Xiaobei, I am not afraid." ”

"Well, that's good, I'll see how you behave." Du Jinning cheered him up, then pointed to the notebook and said, "You guys memorize it well, practice it, and I'll check it again in two days." ”

She didn't have time to rehearse with the two all the time, and she was worried that they wouldn't understand, so her script was written in great detail, writing down some action requirements and the purpose to be achieved clearly. Now that Lu Xiaobei and Qian Youcai can clearly know her intentions and perform what she wants, she is also relieved.

After explaining this, she left the teahouse.

From beginning to end, Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze ignored her, and they didn't even say a salute, let alone come forward to salute.

Du Jinning naturally didn't bother to bother with them, so he went home directly.

In the hall of the Du family, there was a woman sitting, but it was Xu Chengyuan's mother Xie Shi, who had a relationship with Du Jinning in the market that day. ”

"Isn't it?" Chen smiled and introduced Xie to Du Jinning.

"We've seen it in the bazaar." Du Jinning said, stepped forward and saluted the Xie family, "Jinning has seen Mrs. Xu." ”

"Hey, what's your name, Mrs. Xu? Just call your aunt directly. Xie Shi hurriedly helped her and said with a smile.

As she spoke, she explained: "I followed the Fang Ling sisters to recognize the door. After that, I came early in the morning to get the dried tofu, so that the two sisters and sons would not remember to bring the dried tofu to me, so they went to the market early. ”

Although Du Jinning persuaded Du Fangling, the sisters were still reluctant to make a profit from selling dried tofu, and although they gave some dried tofu to Xie's family, they still took most of it to the original market every day to sell it. And Xie Shi, according to her own promise, went to the market in the west of the city to sell.

"There's Aunt Lao Xu." Du Jinning changed his name in a kind way, "My sisters and their sisters are often taken care of by Aunt Lao Xu." ”

"They take care of me. Not only them, but also you, my brother Yuan has a lot of care from you. Aunt Xu is here to thank you. ”

Du Jinning said a few polite words to her, then confessed and went back to his room.

Not long after, Chen sent Xie back, entered Du Jinning's room, and asked with a smile, "What do you think of your Aunt Xu?" ”

Du Jinning thought for a while: "It's okay, quite a shrewd and capable person." ”

When Xie's husband was still alive, because he did a good job of embroidery, he often walked around in front of the wife and lady of a wealthy family, and practiced a good eloquence in communication. Today, she came over with a gift and chatted with Chen for half an hour, and Chen had a very good impression of her.

"Your Aunt Xu is very kind and reasonable. If your eldest sister marries into the Xu family, she will not be able to stand it. While chatting just now, I took the opportunity to ask about her family. Their brother is not engaged yet, and he is looking for someone to say goodbye. Brother Ning, do you think we're ......?"

Speaking of this, she didn't continue, just looked at Du Jinning.

Du Jinning asked, "Has Aunt Xu seen the eldest sister?" ”

Chen nodded: "Your fourth sister went to the field to call us, and as soon as I heard that it was your classmate surnamed Xu's mother, I asked your eldest sister to come back too." When your aunt Xu saw your eldest sister, she took her hand and praised her, saying that she was beautiful, diligent and virtuous, and if anyone married your eldest sister as a daughter-in-law, it would be eight lifetimes of burning high incense. ”

She smiled: "I listened to what she meant, I'm afraid she is also interested in your eldest sister." ”

Du Jinning took out the book in the cloth bag and put it on the table: "In this case, then you just wait for her to propose." Can't we go up to the son to beg Xu Chengyuan to marry the eldest sister, right? Besides...... "Besides," she looked up, "how much do you know about their mother and son?" It's better to take a look. ”

The Chen family is worried about Du Fangfei's marriage, and now that there is such a satisfactory candidate in front of him, it is inevitable that he will think about it more. She couldn't tell Du Fangfei about this, and it was inconvenient for Du Fangling and Du Fanghui to talk about it, so she had to come to Du Jinning to discuss.

Since Du Jinning's design divided the Du family, and led them to move to Dalin Village, and then moved to this Zhuangzi, Du Jinning has completely become her backbone, most of the time she forgot that Du Jinning is a little girl who is only ten years old, and subconsciously regards her as the pillar of the family and a family member. No matter what happened, she wanted Du Jinning to come here to ask for an idea.

At this time, hearing Du Jinning say this, she smiled embarrassedly: "I just said this, and I didn't mean to propose marriage." It's not a business to catch up, let alone marry a daughter? They have to be willing. ”

"That's all you can think of." Du Jinning sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Chen, "Mother, how many points have you been driving with your sister?" ”

"It's only five or six points." Chan said.

In the past, in the Du family, the Du family had cattle, and the cultivated land did not require manpower at all. When they were busy, in order to catch up with the farming, the Du family would also use cattle to exchange for helpers. Therefore, although there are many fields planted, the Chen family can be busy with some hard work.

But now that there are no cattle, they have to use hoes to plow the fields little by little, and there are only two people, and they can't reclaim much area in a day of exhaustion.

Although Dong Dacheng has cattle there, and they will borrow them if they open their mouths, Chen doesn't want to accept favors just to grow a vegetable.

"It's going to be the New Year soon, you can't go to hoe with your eldest sister during the New Year, right? After so many years of not resting day by day, now that you are finally living on your own, do you still have to work so hard? After a break during the New Year, it will not be far from spring after the New Year. You are planting the vegetable seeds now, and you have pulled out the rice before they can grow, are you not working in vain? And there are so many varieties, can you sell them? ”

Du Jinning had already persuaded Chen once, but Chen didn't listen. This time, Du Fangling and their dried tofu made money, and Du Jinning brought up the old story again.

"Look at the dried tofu made by the third sister and the fourth sister, it is selling so well now, and it can still be sold to Aunt Xu. Don't you think you can make more money by doing this? ”

Chen nodded: "Really." She smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you, and the land will not be hoeed." It's enough to plant so much. Your eldest sister and I are helping to make dried tofu at home. ”
