"Xiu'er, why don't you speak?" Gu Linlang looked at An Xiu'er who was distracted, and there was a trace of displeasure in her eyes, she was full of admiration every time she saw him in the past, how could she ever ignore him so much?

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Gu." An Xiu'er was awakened by Gu Linlang's voice, so she came back to her senses, packed up her things, and said, "I'm going to get married, Mr. Gu is going to leave in a few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see him off, I wish Mr. Gu a smooth journey in advance." ”

As she spoke, An Xiu'er walked out with her basket and waved at her nephew as she passed the school.

Gu Linlang stood stunned for a long time, until the wind lifted his clothes, he came back to his senses, a trace of yin owl flashed in his eyes, it was originally a stupid girl who was caught by his hand, he didn't know what went wrong.

An Xiu'er and Gu Linlang expressed their intentions, at the moment they only felt full of relaxation, their dilapidated farmhouse courtyard was in front of her, she stepped into the yard, but she saw her mother-in-law Liang's face full of tears, seeing her come back, Liang sighed again, looking at her eyes a little evasive.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" An Xiu'er took the initiative to step forward.

Liang didn't speak, and An Xiuer walked into the house by herself, but saw that there was an extra piece of meat and two fish on the table at home.

"Is Zhang Zhen'an here?" An Xiu'er asked.

Liang nodded and said, "Just now he came over with the matchmaker, originally wanted to see you, but I said you weren't there, he didn't say a word, kept a calm face, put down his things and left." ”

Zhang Zhen'an is the blind Zhang's name, to be honest, this name, An Xiu'er only knew it two days ago, when she heard his name, she felt that she was destined to marry him as his wife, Zhang Zhen'an, Zhen'an, isn't it just to suppress her.

"Now that he has brought something, what are you worried about?" An Xiu'er smiled and comforted the Liang family, and said: "He has a fierce face, he is not necessarily a bad person, and such good-looking people may not have a good heart, he came to see me, and he didn't forget to bring things, which shows that he takes me to heart and values this family matter." ”

"But......" Liang stopped talking, grabbed An Xiu'er's arm and shed tears again, An Xiu'er patted Liang's back and comforted her.

Because of the dream yesterday and the Mulan words recited by the students today, An Xiuer seemed to grow up overnight.

A few days ago, she was still sad and washed her face with tears, but today she is calm, although she is a woman, but she also has to make some contributions to the family like Mulan, so that her father and mother have held herself in her hand and loved her for more than ten years.

She doesn't want to be in the snow, now, she just thinks about marrying a chicken and a dog, no matter how fierce Zhang Zhen'an is, no matter how much others look down on him, but since she will be his wife in the future, she should defend him.

So when Liang said, "That blind man has a fierce face, it's really terrifying to tighten ......", An Xiu'er stopped her and continued, she said: "Mother, how can you think like this, others look down on Zhang Zhen'an and give him the nickname Blind Zhang, but you will be his mother-in-law and his relative in the future, how can you belittle him like others?" In the future, I don't want to hear this from you again. ”

"Look, Xiu'er, this girl is so hurtful, she hasn't married yet, and she has started to speak for you." The flower matchmaker stood at the door of An's house and shook her handkerchief and said to Zhang Zhen'an.

Just now she heard that An Xiu'er was back, so she turned around and turned back, planning to take Zhang Zhen'an to see An Xiu'er, but she didn't expect to hear the two of them whispering.

The flower matchmaker secretly turned her head sideways to look at Zhang Zhen'an's face, and saw that he was still solemn, without sadness or joy, she was a little stunned, and she didn't know how to say it, but she was a matchmaker, so she naturally wanted to match this marriage, so she coughed and said:

"Don't worry, Aunt Hua won't lie to you, Xiu'er is really a first-class good girl in this village, not to mention her beauty, she has a good heart, this time she let you pick up a big bargain, if it weren't for the fact that the An family happened to be short of money, where would Xiu'er be a good girl like you."

The flower matchmaker said that An Xiu'er was not worth it, and she said the wrong thing for a while, but fortunately Zhang Zhenan didn't seem to care, she settled down and asked, "Then do you still want to go in and have a look?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Zhenan shook his head, took out the silver money from his arms, and said, "You and I can hand over this dowry to the An family." With that, he strode away.

The flower matchmaker looked at the silver money in her hand, and she couldn't estimate whether the blind Zhang was satisfied or dissatisfied with An Xiu'er, she sighed, smiled again on her face, and said while walking towards the courtyard: "Great joy, great joy, Zhang Jialangjun asked me to come to your house for a dowry." ”

"Really?" Liang hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, stepped forward, and said, "The flower matchmaker is here, come in and sit." ”

An Xiuer saw that it was the flower matchmaker, so she lowered her head, cleaned up the table, and served tea for the flower matchmaker.

"Xiu'er is really a first-class girl in our village." The flower matchmaker took the tea handed over by An Xiu'er, and saw that her face was flushed, and she looked more and more cute, so she couldn't help but praise her again.

"Xiu'er, you go back to the room first." Liang sat down and said to An Xiu'er.

An Xiu'er obediently went into the back room, sat on the edge of the bed, and the words that the matchmaker said to the Liang family kept drilling into her ears.

"Originally, according to the customs of our Qingshui Village, Xiu'er was going to meet with that Zhang Zhen'an, just now he also arrived at the door, but when he heard Xiu'er speak, he was very happy in his heart, I said that Xiu'er is gentle and filial, he listened, and immediately gave me silver money, let me be hired, you say, does he value your Xiu'er very much?"

The flower matchmaker said a lot of good things, and saw that Liang was still miserable and unhappy, so she put the silver money on the table and said to Liang: "See, six taels of silver, not less at all, and it is not like other people, who still procrastinate to give a few taels of dowry, although this person is old, but it will hurt people and be happy." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Liang nodded hurriedly, and his heart was a little happier.

"Although this Zhang Zhen'an looks a little vicious, but it is also good, your daughter married him, who will dare to bully her in the future?" The flower matchmaker said again.

Liang thought about it and nodded again.

The flower matchmaker said: "Then that's it, I'll put the money here, even if we have decided on this family matter, we are all villagers, and there are not so many rules, I think Zhang Zhen'an means to let Xiu'er marry as soon as possible, you take the money, go to the town to cut clothes for Xiu'er, and let her prepare to get married." ”

"What date did Zhang Zhen'an Ke tell you?" Liang said again.

"I calculated with him, and the twenty-eighth of this month is the auspicious day of the zodiac." The flower matchmaker said.

"So fast?" The Liang family was a little reluctant to marry An Xiuer so soon.

"It's been so many days, this Zhang Zhen'an is also old after all, and he wants to marry your Xiu'er as soon as possible." The flower matchmaker smiled ambiguously at Liang's, stood up, and said, "Then it's decided, I'll go first." ”

After she left, An Xiu'er walked out of the room, Liang sat on the table, raised his head, and said, "Xiu'er, did you hear everything?" ”

"Hmm." An Xiu'er nodded.

"Don't panic, I'll sum up with your father at night, talk to that Zhang Zhen'an, and see if I can give him a few days of grace." Liang said to An Xiu'er.

"Mother, don't worry, marry early and marry late, what is there to delay." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "I heard that Zhang Zhen'an makes a living from fishing, I will marry him as soon as possible, and I will bring you a son back as soon as possible, and let him help work for our family at the right time." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, how can a son-in-law work for his father-in-law's family." Liang glanced at An Xiu'er with disgust, and saw that An Xiu'er did not have any dissatisfaction on her face, so she let go of it in her heart.

An Xiu'er smiled at the Liang family, in fact, she wanted to marry as soon as possible, so as to get rid of Gu Linlang and save him from having other thoughts about her.

"Mother, have you brought food to Daddy?" An Xiu'er suddenly thought of this.

"Oops, I forgot." Liang patted his head at this time, hurriedly walked to the kitchen, and said, "Your father must be hungry." ”

"Don't worry." An Xiu'er carried the fish and meat she put in the basket, and also walked to the kitchen, and said, "Daddy, they have been working hard these days, so I packed up this fish and stewed a soup for them, so that when he comes back in the afternoon, he won't complain that you made them hungry in the morning." ”

"You're right." Liang said and hurriedly went to deal with the fish.

An Xiu'er helped heat up the rice in the pot, and asked, "Where did the eldest girl and the second girl go?" ”

"I told them to go and hunt pigweed." Liang said casually: "These two dead girls, they are so slow to fight pigweed, and they haven't come back yet, so I don't know where to go to be lazy." ”

An Xiu'er frowned when she heard this, and said helplessly: "Mother, don't scold, now there are so many people who beat pigweed, how can the two of them come back at once." ”

In Anjia, no one is allowed to be idle, if you say idle, An Xiuer is the most idle, every day is to embroider in the house, help to send food to An Ronghe, it is really busy with farming, so she needs her to help do some housework, from childhood to adulthood, she is the golden pimple in the hearts of Father An and Liang's heart, the two couples held her on the tip of their hearts and hurt, thinking of the choice she made in the dream, An Xiuer felt a dull pain in her heart.

Anyway, it was a dream, An Xiu'er thought like this, and her heart was much more relaxed, she quickly took out the rice, and washed the piece of meat that Zhang Zhen'an brought over, cut off a few large pieces, wrapped them in rice noodles and put them in a small plate, planning to wait for the fish to stew soup, so that the meat could be steamed.

"You kid, everything is good, it's just a big deal." Liang happened to pack up the fish in his hand, and when he saw An Xiu'er's movements, he said something to her.

An Xiu'er was not annoyed, she just walked to the stove, and while helping to light the fire, she said: "Daddy, they have worked hard these days, let them eat some meat and be happy." ”

"Why don't you say how expensive this meat is?" Liang came over and saw that the pot had been cleaned, so he dipped a little oil in the tail of the radish, wiped the pot slightly, added ginger, and then poured the fish into it.

The oil was poured less, and the fish quickly got wetted into the pot, and Liang hurriedly poured a scoop of water into it and stewed the fish.

"Let's put the meat in and stew it together." An Xiu'er said a word, and Liang glanced at An Xiu'er with disgust, found a bamboo dumpling and put it on the pot, and put the meat in it and steamed it.

"I know you're greedy." While Liang was cooking the fish, he cleaned up the food and prepared for An Xiu'er to send it over.

The firewood is big, and soon the fish will be cooked, Liang took off the lid of the pot, took out the bamboo dumplings and steamed meat, and poured in the green onion and salt, and the boiled fish is ready.

The fish was served in a small clay pot, and Liang carefully put it in a small bamboo basket for An Xiu'er, opened the food box, and put two pieces of meat in the pickle bowl.

When An Xiu'er saw it, she said again: "Add another piece, the second sister-in-law is also working hard." ”

"You stupid boy." Liang couldn't resist An Xiu'er, so he put another piece in the bowl.

"You are really the best mother-in-law and mother-in-law in the world." An Xiuer casually praised Liang's words, and then she was satisfied with the lid of the food box, and went to the field with the food box and bamboo basket.
