"It just so happens that I don't think the rice paper sold in Shuanghe Village is as good as the paper in the town." Walnut also smiled, and the two sisters looked at each other tacitly.

"Aunt Hu, thank you so much for this. Walnut and I went to town to have a look. If it's good, I'll bother you again when I go back. Cherry smiled crookedly, trying to ignore the pungent smell.

"Hey, where is this? Fourth girl, if you have something in the future, just tell Aunt Hu. It's not me who blows it, the best candidates in these ten miles and eight villages are all in my hands. In the future, Walnut will say that the mother-in-law's family, Aunt Hu will also be covered!! Mrs. Hu patted her chest generously: "If you don't like this Liu Niang, I will help you in the future!" ”

"Hey, Aunt Xie Hu." Cherry grinned

"Okay, okay, I won't delay any longer, you can go quickly!" Hu Pozi opened her hand and waved.

"Then let's go." Cherry led the walnut back down the small bridge and walked towards the town of Beitou.

At the entrance of the town, on the side of a large road at the head of Beihu Village, there was indeed a simple straw hut built with wooden stakes, and a stove was set up in the outer corner of the shed, and a pot was set up on it. There were two small tables in the shed, and some people were drinking tea and eating eggs. A woman wrapped in a headcloth was busy.

Cherry led the walnut and looked at it as she slowly stepped forward.

"Girl, do you want to eat tea eggs? Freshly cooked, fragrant and hot, this winter's eating, it's comfortable. As soon as he got out of the tent, he heard the woman speak, and her voice was soft and soft, and it was pleasant to hear.

"How did you sell it?" Cherry pretended to buy tea eggs, and glanced at the woman's face with a smile. The appearance is delicate, but the face is slightly thin, and I think it is because of the bad life recently.

"The tea egg is two pennies a piece, the big bowl of tea is a penny a bowl, and there are small buns that have just been made in it, three pennies a penny." Seeing that Cherry was interested in inquiring, a little joy appeared on the woman's face: "Girl, let's go into town after eating hot." ”

Cherry saw that the woman's face and speech were good, and wanted to probe again. Besides, I asked for all the questions, and it was not good not to eat, so I asked for four tea eggs and two bowls of tea, and went into the grass shed with walnuts and sat on another small table.

The woman quickly took the tea egg and filled the tea, put it on the table with a smile, and said softly with a small voice: "It's hot, be careful of hot hands." Then he turned back and went to the stove, and when he had nothing else to do, he began to wipe the lid and dishes of her pot again.

It looks like a virtuous and diligent person, and his temperament is also good. Looking at it like this, her temperament is similar to Miao Chengye's sister-in-law, she is a soft-voiced person.

"Fourth sister." Walnut took a bite of the tea egg, leaned over, and whispered, "What do you think?" I fancy it!! ”

"Be quiet!!" Cherry glared at her: "I'll talk about it after eating." ”

The two of them hurriedly finished eating, paid, and left the straw shed.

"I'm really optimistic. is gentle, virtuous and can live, I don't know how many times stronger than our four aunts. Walnut danced excitedly.

"I look good. When we get back, let's ask the fourth uncle first, and then go to Mrs. Hu to talk about it, and this matter will be done. Cherry smiled.

"Yay!! This time Xiaobao has a mother, so I don't have to stick to me with snot every day!! Walnut clapped his hands happily, and suddenly turned his face: "By the way, our fourth uncle won't be unwilling, right?" ”

"Won't you know when you go back and ask?" Cherry pointed ahead: "Hurry up and buy something, let's go home and talk about it." ”

"Good!!"

The two sisters hurriedly bought some things and hurried home. In the excitement and hurry, I even forgot to buy the rice paper of walnuts.

When I got home, I cleaned up a little, and Cherry asked Walnut to watch the door at home, and I went to Yue Fu's house next door first. Tell Zhao Lan about Liu Niangzi carefully.

The fourth uncle is very stubborn. It has only been half a year since the fourth aunt's matter, and she estimates that the fourth uncle will not agree to marry another one nine times out of ten. If it is according to his hard stone temperament, it may take four or five years for Xiaobao to have a bride. By that time, Xiaobao will grow up, and he won't need his mother.

So it's better to move the eldest lady first, she is full of weight in the eyes of the fourth uncle, and her words should work.

Zhao Lan was naturally happy with what Cherry said, so she immediately changed her clothes, crossed the bridge with Cherry, and went to Yue Xiang's house.

Xiaobao ran out to play with his friends, and only Yue Xiang was home alone. The workman's clothes were torn, and he was clumsily sewing with a needle and thread, and his hands had been pierced with two or three holes.

"You baby, how did you do the sewing and mending work?" Zhao Lan snatched it away with some distress: "Come on, come on, call me here." In the future, tell me to do this. As he spoke, he glanced up at the somewhat chaotic room: "Tut-tut, look at it, it looks like it's going to be the New Year's Day, your family is in such a mess, hey, there is no woman, how can it work?" ”

"Didn't that happen?" Yue Xiang smiled indifferently: "It's just a little cold." If Xiaobao is not at home, I will be left alone. I'm counting on this kid to grow up quickly, marry a daughter-in-law, have a baby, and have a lively family. ”

"How's that going to work?" Zhao Lan glared at him: "You are still young, how can you guard Xiaobao for the rest of your life?" Besides, Xiaobao is still young, how can you take care of it as a big man? I have to find a mother for Xiaobao again. ”

"What else are you looking for, this time is not enough?" Yue Xiang sighed. In half a year, he seems to be much older. At the age of thirty, a few gray hairs appeared on his sideburns.

"Then how can you not find it? If you fall down this time, can you still get up again? Zhao Lan sewed up the clothes neatly in her hands, and persuaded her to get up: "Look for it again, open your eyes and find a good one, diligent and virtuous, help you run the house, take care of Xiaobao, you come back from a busy day outside and enter the house and have a hot meal to eat, how good?" Besides, you are so young, do you plan to have Xiaobao's baby? Wouldn't it be more lively to marry someone who can give birth and raise again, and have a few more? Didn't you keep thinking about wanting a girl? ”

"Look at ......" was amused by Zhao Lan's long string of words, Yue Xiang saw that Zhao Lan was about to speak again, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said perfunctorily: "Okay, listen to my sister-in-law, can I find it?" But we are poor in the mountains and valleys, and the unmarried young man can't say that he is a daughter-in-law, where can I go like this? ”

"Don't tell me, there's one." Zhao Lan was waiting for his sentence.

Cherry listened on the side, secretly glad that she had found the right lady this time.

"Huh?" Yue Xiang was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what Zhao Lan meant by this.

"Ahh No, I happen to have one of them, and you are not allowed to shirk it. Zhao Lan didn't wait for Yue Xiang to say anything, and continued to say quickly: "This woman is also a married person, her husband is gone, and she has no heirs, so she asked her husband's family to drive out. As for the man, he is a diligent and virtuous man, and he has seen cherries and walnuts in the long years. Anyway, I can't find anything wrong with it. All you have to do is nod, and I'll talk to the matchmaker right away. ”

"This, this ......" Yue Xiang said that he wanted to marry another person is indeed perfunctory Zhao Lan, how would he know that she was asking her to catch Xiao Shan, there is really a candidate waiting here, refusing is not, refusing is not, not refusing is not, I don't know what to do for a while.

"Fourth, don't think about it anymore, you can't keep going like this, can you stand it, Xiaobao has to be taken care of? You are a big man, no matter how carefully you take care of it, you are not as good as a woman. Not to mention anything else, you can't do the work of sewing and mending, washing and scrubbing. Zhao Lan slapped her palms to herself: "I will listen to my sister-in-law about this matter, so it will be decided." I'll stay for a while, and I'll go to Hu Matchmaker's house with Cherry. You don't have to worry, the woman doesn't know if she wants to. ”

"I guess there's no problem. Aunt Hu said that she had already inquired about the tone over there, saying that as long as the man was diligent and willing to work and had a good temperament, he would be willing to remarry. After all, there is not even a doll. Cherry hurriedly followed.

"So?" Zhao Lan thumped her hands again: "That's done!" Sakura, then let's go to Mrs. Hu's house now, let's go. As he spoke, he jumped off the kang.

"yes, okay." Cherry followed suit.

"Hey, sister-in-law...... Sakura ......" Yue Xiang watched the two rush out of the house and didn't stop them. Seeing the two of them walking out of the courtyard to the east, he sighed lightly, sat on the bluestone under the eaves, and held his cheeks with some sadness and joy.

He naturally thought about remarrying. Even if it's not for himself, it's for Xiaobao. But Lu Aifen's incident hurt him too much, and he really didn't want to marry another woman back. If it's another Lu Aifen, how can he live? It doesn't matter what happens to him, he doesn't want to marry another woman and come back to harm the eldest brother and the second brother's family. The second brother's family is called Lu Aifen, and the woman who is the scourge is already a broken family.

However, if you can really be as your sister-in-law said, you are a gentle and virtuous person, and you can take care of Xiaobao and help him run the family, which is also good...... God knows what kind of life he and Xiaobao have lived in the past six months. If it weren't for the sister-in-law and a few nieces who often came to the house to help sew and mend, he and Xiaobao would probably have to see people in torn clothes.

Cherry and Zhao Lan left Yue Xiang's house, and went straight to Hu Pozi's house again, and immediately settled the matter. Hu Pozi went to ask Liu Niangzi on the second day, and heard that Yue Xiang was a distressed person, capable and upright, so he responded immediately.

Because it is a second marriage, there are not so many things that cannot be met. In addition, both men and women are afraid of finding the wrong person again, so they must meet first. And because the New Year was approaching, Mrs. Hu was the master and set the day on the eighth day of the first month of the year after the year.
