Chapter 6: New Daughter-in-law?

Zou Wenfang saw that Sister Chen ran back to his room, he was embarrassed to stand outside alone, he couldn't really watch the moon here for a night, he put the ladder back for Sister Chen, "Sister Chen, I'm leaving." ”

Zou Wenfang walked back to his hut, humming a tune he didn't know along the way, and he was very happy anyway. I've been teasing Sister Chen tonight, and looking at Sister Chen's shyness, I really feel pity. "It's really worthy of my daughter-in-law Zou Wenfang, beautiful, really beautiful."

Back in his cabin, Zou Wenfang still couldn't forget her, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more excited he was, the more he couldn't sleep. I heard the third sister say before, when you can't sleep, you can count, any chicken, sheep, dogs, pigs and the like.

"One chicken, two chickens, three chickens。。。。。。"

After counting for a long time, Zou Wenfang still couldn't sleep, this time it wasn't Sister Chen, he was thinking about the pheasant he ate tonight, and he remembered the flower chicken that his father had made before, and his saliva almost didn't come out.

"No, no, no, we have to count it differently." But after changing to sheep, dogs and pigs, it's still the same, braised pork, stewed dog meat, roasted whole sheep, "Oh, no, I'll starve to death if I go on like this." However, if you don't count, how can you sleep? ”

Zou Wenfang scratched his hair, "It's so annoying," just after sighing, he realized that something was wrong, "Hey, shouldn't I be happy?" Why is it so annoying? It's all to blame on Sister Chen, hum, hey~ Yes, I'll just count Sister Chen. ”

"One Sister Chen, two Sister Chen, three Sister Chen。。。。。。"

Sure enough, Sister Chen was still good, and Zou Wenfang's eyelids finally closed happily.

Chen Shilian, who was on the second floor, ran back to the room, immediately closed the door, leaned against the door, and the corners of her mouth curved, "Stinky boy, if I don't clean you up, someone will naturally clean you up tomorrow." ”

Then I heard the stinky boy tell her that he was gone, Chen Shilian thought he was tricking himself to go out again and then jumped by himself, this time she was determined not to go out. She lay on the bed, but her ears still paid attention to the movement outside, and she lay down for a while, but she did not hear any movement outside.

She opened the door directly and went out, it was dark outside, and the stinky boy really went back, "Hmph, I really went back." After saying that, she felt it herself, as if she wanted him to stay here again, her face turned red instantly, and she couldn't help but comfort herself: Bah, little brat, I just think of you as a brother, that's all.

Chen Shilian went back to her room to rest, and the night was late, and she was a little sleepy. The bed was a bundle of bundled straw mats, sun-dried this afternoon, covered with a blanket, and it was extra comfortable to sleep on.

This night, she fell asleep with a smile on the corner of her mouth and slept soundly.

The next day, just after dawn, the old man got up to fetch water and chop wood, and Zou's mother began to prepare breakfast. Unexpectedly, Chen Shilian also got up early in the morning.

"Uncle, aunt, it's early."

"Well, you're early, too."

"Auntie, can I help you cook?"

"No, no, let's just eat something, you go back to sleep, it's still a little cold in the morning."

"Uncle, what are you going to do? I'll help you. ”

"I'm going to fetch water, I don't need your help, the old man is still in good health."

Chen Shilian still snatched the flat shoulder, picked up the bucket and walked out of the door, Old Man Zou lifted the bucket with the rope and walked behind, he was also happy, and his mouth was about to crack with a smile.

Chen Shilian didn't know where the well was, and stopped at the fork in the road without walking a few steps out of the gate. However, she soon noticed that the neighbor's aunt who had gotten up in the morning to fetch water from the previous night was walking slowly behind her.

"Uncle, hurry up."

Old man Zou looked at the little girl waving to him in front of him, remembering that Zou Wenfang's sisters were also like this when they were children, their eyes narrowed into a line, smiled, and quickened their pace.

"It's here, Shilian, you slow down."

The neighbor's aunt didn't notice the old and the young behind, waiting in line on the edge of the old well, while chatting with the village girls next to them.

"Do you know, the kid from Zou Liang's family has found a daughter-in-law, not to mention how handsome she looks, we have never seen such a handsome girl in our village, and she is very capable, and their whole family is happy."

"The two sons of their family back then were handsome and knew his family's kung fu, and there were so many people who proposed to their family that they couldn't squeeze in. It's a pity, but it's good that their family can do this now. ”

"Hey, where is this girl his family is looking for? We had the opportunity to sit at his house and see the new daughter-in-law. By the way, I'm asking her if she has any sisters or something. ”

"I'm also going to join in the fun, why doesn't my stinky boy have this blessing, I'm dying of sorrow. Our four treasures are also considered to be different in the countryside, marrying a girl is the same as selling a girl, and it is much more expensive than that of other places. ”

"That's not it, one price a year, and some people marry daughters who even have several 'lace (Yuan Datou)'. Many families can't afford to marry, and they have begun to look for people from other places. ”

"It is said that the girls of our four treasures can endure hardships, can work, and have a bit of culture, so they are more expensive to marry. But is it really cultured? Many people can't even speak a word of Mandarin, so they still marry at a good price. ”

"The four treasures are a good girl, naturally they don't have to worry about getting married, no matter how expensive they are, some people dare to marry. Many girls with average conditions, who marry their families, do not borrow something from the family neighborhood to get enough money to marry a daughter-in-law. In order to marry a daughter-in-law, there are many people who owe a lot of debts. ”

"This time, Zou Liang's food family has made a lot of money, saved a lot of money, and asked for a girl who is like a flower. After the old man Zou died of his two sons, he didn't dare to teach his youngest son martial arts. His kid is also smart, and he learns to read and write quickly, and now he doesn't need to be taught by his husband. ”

"Ahem, ahem." A cough interrupted everyone's conversation, and when they turned around, the old man came, and everyone hurriedly changed the topic.

"Lao Liangshi, this is your boy's daughter-in-law?"

Old man Zou didn't have a good impression of this group of village women who liked to gossip, so he dealt with it casually, "Yes, what about the baby kiss who is small." "Speaking of Chen Shilian, he has a sense of pride," Shilian said hello to the aunts. ”

Chen Shilian was also very embarrassed, but he also saw through the faces of the group of village women, and said to them with a smile: "Hello aunts." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked behind Old Man Zou with a blushing face, and the group of village women thought that she was shy, so they didn't continue to talk to her. There is shyness, but the main reason is that Chen Shilian doesn't want to deal with them, so she hides behind Old Man Zou.

That group of talents continued to talk about new things, and all the short things in the parents were circulating in their mouths, and it was this group of village women who established the gossip system of the whole village. Any news can spread rapidly, one to ten, ten to hundred, and it is normal to change the taste. In Sibao, they have a very affectionate name called 逋niangε“©. (Women who like to linger and chat, mostly used to describe village women who like to gossip.) οΌ‰

Those Niangli were chatting in the words of the Four Treasures, and Chen Shilian didn't understand it at all. Old man Zou didn't like to talk, so she could only stand beside the old man and wait for the people in front of her.

The well is also very old, and the walls of the well are made of stone and covered with moss. The water from the well is clear, the water is very large, and from time to time new springs gush out. There are two big wells in the whole village, one east and one west, which nourish the old and young of a village.

It didn't take long for them to take their turn. The girls next to them haven't left yet, waiting to see if this delicate-looking girl is really good at working, don't pick a water to make jokes, it will be good-looking.

Chen Shilian naturally acted neatly as they wished, filled two large buckets of water, picked up the flat shoulder and walked away.

Old man Zou also nodded silently, yes, this is a kung fu practice frame, upright and standardized, a bit like her father, but not very similar. He couldn't see Chen Shilian's martial arts path, but he could be sure that she was already a good master.

Old man Zou thought, "I'll have to find a time to give her a try." ”

The two returned home one after the other.
