When Cheng Xi followed Awen Xulan out of the crescent moon's house, the lights were already lit in the small hall in the attic, and Ah Wu and Xiong Da Xiong Er were standing in the small hall.

Seeing Cheng Xi and them coming, Xiong Er opened his mouth to explain, "We heard the screams and thought something was wrong, so we came over." ”

Cheng Xi waved his hand at a few people, "It's nothing, you guys go back first." ”

Seeing that Ah Wen actually planned to follow them, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and said, "Ah Wen stays." ”

Ah Wen had to stop and watch Ah Wu and the three of them go downstairs and leave.

Cheng Xi wrapped the blanket on his body, found a chair to sit down, and motioned for Xu Lan and Ah Wen to sit too, and waited until the two of them hesitated to sit down on the chair diagonally opposite Cheng Xide before Cheng Xi spoke, "Tell me, what's going on with you two." ”

Xu Lan blushed and lowered her head and didn't speak, Ah Wenyou hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "It's the subordinates who have overstepped, and the subordinates will keep their distance from Miss Xu Lan in the future." ”

As soon as Ah Wen spoke, Xu Lan raised her head with red eyes and looked at Ah Wen with a sad face, but Ah Wen's eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to face Xu Lan's accusing eyes.

Cheng Xi didn't expect Ah Wen to hold back such a sentence after a long time, and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I'm not here to break you up, I'm asking you when you'll get better." ”

Cheng Xi's straightforward words made the faces of the two people even redder, Ah Wen glanced up at Cheng Xi, and saw that Cheng Xi didn't seem to blame himself, before he spoke, "Just a few years ago, my subordinates originally wanted to propose marriage to the master of the Xu family, but Lan'er said that his father would not agree. ”

Thinking of Xu Lan's father Xu Wenqiang's snobbery, Cheng Xi felt that what Xu Lan said was very possible, after all, Awen's identity was a guard, and now Cheng Xi was fifteen years old, and Xu Lan was almost past the age of discussing relatives.

It's not that no one came to the door to propose, this Lihua Village knew that there was a girl in the Xu family who was not married, and I don't know how many young men were tempted to send someone to the door to propose, but none of them could pass Xu Wenqiang's hurdle, and he could see those young men in Lihua Village, to put it bluntly, he still didn't dispel the idea of letting Xu Lan climb the high branches.

Cheng Xi felt that since Xu Lan and Ah Wen had a rare relationship, she had to help them, so she had an idea, so Cheng Xi said, "This matter is on me, go back and rest, Ah Wen, you go back and tell Ah Wu and them, don't spread this matter." ”

After speaking, Cheng Xi stood up, yawned, and went back to the room on his right.

When Ah Wen and Xu Lan heard Cheng Xi say that it was wrapped around her, although their faces were red, the haze on their faces was dissipated, but they were not willing to listen to Cheng Xi's scatter and go back to rest, but looked at each other affectionately.

Walking to the door, Cheng Xi turned his head to look at them, sighed softly, went back to his room and closed the door.

Cheng Xi has always disliked procrastination, and Xu Lan's age is indeed not young, so it would be good to settle down earlier, so the next day Cheng Xi went to the Grange to find Xu Wenqiang.

Ma beckoned Cheng Xi into the house, and as soon as he sat down, Xu Wenqiang said politely, "Why did Tianxi'er come over so cold?" If there's something to do, send someone over and run errands, just let me go. ”

Cheng Xi didn't bother to go around the bend with them, and said straight to the point, "This Xu Lan is not young, she has already passed the grade of the family, I think my family Awen is quite a match for Xu Lan, so I came to help my family Awen to come to the house." ”

Xu Wenqiang frowned after hearing this, and then said, "But Ah Wen is a minion......

Cheng Xi said, "Who said that Arwen is a minion?" Because Xu Saburo can't stay at home, they are the masters that Xu Saburo invited back, and they deliberately protect the safety of me and Baisui, not slaves. ”

Xu Wenqiang continued to hesitate and said, "But we don't know what he does, who else is in their family, and he doesn't know where his family affairs are." ”

Cheng Xi responded, "I have already inquired about these clearly, he is an orphan, fatherless and motherless, and if he marries Xu Lan in the future, you are his parents, and he will treat you as his own parents and filial piety." ”

Xu Wenqiang was not very happy, but he hesitated but could not find a suitable excuse, and only muttered, "I don't have any family, it's still a little bad." ”

Cheng Xi didn't know what Xu Wenqiang was thinking, so he said directly, "Uncle, let's not beat around the bush and tell the truth, I have always regarded you as my relatives, Xu Lan has followed me for a few years, and I also regard her as my own sister, so naturally I will not do anything unfavorable to her." I also know what the uncle thinks in his heart, he must hope that Cheng Xi will marry a better family, Yu Gongzi's side, you must all understand that it is impossible, so what kind of family does the uncle want to send Xu Lan to? But uncle, have you ever thought that your own brothers are unreliable, who can be reliable? Are you sure you have found a good family for Xu Lan, and you can rely on it? It's better to rely on people than on a few, and those ideas of yours should have been changed a long time ago. ”

Cheng Xi got a sentence of "my brothers are unreliable", and instantly said to Xu Wenqiang's heart, yes, my brothers are unreliable, who else do you rely on? After listening to Cheng Xi's words, Xu Wenqiang fell into contemplation.

Cheng Xi opened his mouth and continued, "If you really force Xu Lan to marry someone she doesn't want to marry, I'm afraid that Xu Lan will only hate you in the future, so do you think Xu Lan will still think about your mother's family?" If Xu Lan is asked to marry the person she wants to marry, it will be different, and you don't need to say it, you understand. ”

Ma, who had not spoken on the side, finally spoke, "Xi'er, you mean, that Ah Wen is the person Lan'er wants to marry?" ”

Cheng Xi nodded, "Our Ah Wen likes Xu Lan, and when I mentioned this to me, of course I also asked Xu Lan before I came over to propose a marriage for Ah Wen." ”

Ma Shi heard that his daughter was satisfied, so he turned his head to look at Xu Wenqiang, "Boss, let's follow Xi'er for the past two years, how is our life going." ”

Speaking of his life in the past two years, Xu Wenqiang was proud, and said, "Of course it's good, we haven't lived up to the trust of Xi'er and Yu Gongzi, and kept this grange in good order." ”

Ma said, "Since you think it's good, is there anything you are not satisfied with?" Why do you want to exchange Lan'er's marriage for those unrealistic things? ”

Ma's words once again made Xu Wenqiang fall into thought, yes, isn't his life very good now, what do you want to do with those unrealistic things? He remembered his mother's desperation for him, remembered the fourth brother's crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and had always been filial to himself, isn't it still his own pair of children?

Cheng Xi saw that Xu Wenqiang's expression was shaken, and then he opened his mouth and continued, "As long as the uncle has no dissenting intentions, our days will only get better and better in the future, the vegetables in this experimental greenhouse are the uncle you are taking care of, you should know what it means to have all kinds of fresh vegetables in winter, and when it is mass-produced in the future, it will be a big income, and then I will give you a certain amount of dividends, and when the silver is enough, you can sell more land in the surrounding area, become a small landlord, and your children are around, your children and grandchildren are full, and you will live a lot of moisturizing, It's not much better than relying on someone else. ”

Cheng Xi painted a beautiful scene for Xu Wenqiang, which really touched Xu Wenqiang, looking at Xu Wenqiang's yearning expression, it seemed that that kind of life was already in front of him, and gradually the little thought in his heart faded, so he said, "As long as Lan Yatou is willing, let her be." ”

Finally done, Cheng Xi showed a smile on his face and said, "This really wants me to propose, I don't understand those rules, I went back to discuss with Awen, find a matchmaker and come over to formally propose, but I can't wronged us Xu Lan." ”

Ma replied with a smile, "I always let you worry about her." ”

After chatting with Xu Wenqiang and his wife for a while, Cheng Xi went to see his sister-in-law Liu, who was raising a baby in the house, and Cheng Xi went back to the orchard.

It's just that Cheng Xi was not in a hurry about Zhang Luo Awen and Xu Lan at this time, because Cheng Xi went to the county seat the next day, and the Cheng family was going to move away from the county seat, and Cheng Xi also took Xiong Da and them to the county seat to help.

In the end, there is such a big family, it still took two or three days to pack up, and on the first day of preparing to leave, Cheng Xi took a hundred taels of silver and stuffed it to Cheng Dagui, after all, going to Fucheng is not in the county seat, and there are more places to spend money, but Cheng Dagui said that he didn't want anything, Cheng Dagui didn't take it, of course the Wu family didn't dare to take it, the two elder brothers, Cheng Xi didn't plan to give it to them, and they didn't have to think about it, they definitely wouldn't take it.

In the end, Cheng Xi had to secretly give it to her grandmother, saying that she had given it to her father, but she didn't accept it, and asked her grandmother to help collect it, she knew that her grandmother really felt sorry for his father, and she would definitely keep it for her father, and she would not lose the money.

Mrs. Cheng saw that it was actually a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and it was natural for the second daughter's daughter to be filial to her father, so she unceremoniously collected it for her son.

Early the next morning, outside the city, watching the Cheng family's ox cart drift away, Cheng Xi suddenly felt a little sad.

It turns out that in the past few years, unconsciously, these people have been imprinted in her heart and become the relatives she cares about.

Just when Cheng Xi was looking at the distant back in a daze, the centenarian on the side suddenly grabbed Cheng Xi's hand and pulled back Cheng Xi's somewhat sad thoughts.

When Cheng Xi came back to his senses, the hundred-year-old pulled Cheng Xi and said, "When will we go back?" I want to be safe. ”

Cheng Xi responded, "Tomorrow, there is still something to do today, let's go, go back to the county seat first." ”

Cheng family's team, Cheng Chen and Cheng Cai walked at the back, Cheng Cai turned around again, looking at the smaller and smaller figure from a distance, Cheng Cai at this time, with a sad look in his eyes, staring at the blurred figure, full of memorials.

Cheng Chen stopped, sighed, and patted Cheng Cai's quilt, "Why do you say you're so stupid?" Xu Saburo has been gone for so many years and has not come back, you have an opportunity, but not only did you not seize the opportunity, but you also helped her inquire about Xu Saburo's whereabouts everywhere. ”

Cheng Cai looked at the vague figure and turned around and walked towards the city, and finally told a secret buried in his heart, "Xi'er told me that she only treats me as a brother." ”

Cheng Chen looked at Cheng Cai in surprise, "You told her?" ”

Cheng Cai shook his head, "I didn't say anything, but she understands everything, she should like Xu Sanlang, as long as she is happy, let's go." ”

Cheng Chen saw Cheng Cai's red eyes when he turned around, and watched Cheng Cai lower his head and speed up his pace, catching up with the team in front, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, sighed, and also accelerated his pace to catch up.
