408 Red dates and walnuts

There are many ways to pay attention to this marriage, such as not marrying a surname, and such as being a good match.

In addition, seniority should also be paid attention to, for example, when Li Caifeng was a matchmaker for Song Haonian, she was talking about her sister-in-law Li Baihe, who was a junior who was not a good match. If it is in the mountains of Zhu's mother's house, where several brothers marry the same woman, it is not exquisite. There was a doll born in that place, and I didn't know who to call it Daddy, but I dug it at home, and the fertilizer and water didn't flow into the fields of outsiders, brother

It is also common for a few to be big dads, two dads, and three dads.

But Qingliu Town is still quite particular about getting married, and Wenwa must gain a foothold in the capital, let alone be sloppy. Therefore, Wen Wa Niang is a little strange, why does Yueniang's sister-in-law want to tell her Wen Wa a niece. Lily looked at the letter and said: "Yueniang's sister-in-law, her children are not a few years younger than Qingsong and Wenwa, and looking at them is no different from looking at your own children." She has seen several girls' homes for Wenwa, but she has not been good, and I saw her that day

My niece and nephew think it's very good, but I can't get along with the generations, so I want your idea. ”

Wen Wa Niang had no idea for a while, and then asked Lily to say what the situation of this girl was.

Lily said: "That girl's surname is Dou, and she is a sister in the family, but her father and mother are only her daughter, pampering is pampering, and what should be learned is not left behind, saying that people can do it." ”

Dou Wuniang is 16 years old this year, only a few years younger than Yueniang, the same age as flowers and bones, very colorful, and smart.

However, the family is more ordinary, and it is not a military household, and there are dozens of acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing. In the early years, the ancestors hit the big luck, and there was more than half of the mountain, and the court took that half of the mountain away, and the Dou family made a fortune since then, and also had a few days.

After the first generation of family separation, Dou Wuniang and her father are not a descendant, only divided into a house, dozens of acres of land, these years of operation, the family has also accumulated a lot.

Dou Wuniang, her eldest brother doesn't have any great skills, and now she is honestly farming and doing some small business, but there is a little brother below, who is very spiritual in reading, and she was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Speaking of such a family background, it is also common in Beijing, and I can't give Wenwa too much help, but I'm afraid that Wenwa will have to help Dou Xiaobrother to study for exams, and when Dou Xiaobrother can help, I'm afraid that Wenwa will also struggle to be ten by herself

。 Wen Wa Niang said: "I don't dislike people, our family is born in the mud legs of growing crops, people have been in the capital for hundreds of years, and they have seen the emperor, but our family does not have that kind of knowledge, and this layer alone is not comparable." Another one, people

Anyway, there is a talented man, but he is younger and has a bright future, but he is afraid that the person who proposes marriage to this girl will break the threshold. ”

A show talent is a solid future guarantee, the theory of Dou Wuniang is like a pot of honey, should provoke the matchmaker constantly, suddenly look at the Chinese baby such a young man who has no foundation, it really makes people's hearts bottomless.

Wen Waniang thought for a while and said: "I will discuss with his father, and I will call you back in two days, if it doesn't work, I always have to thank Sister-in-law Yueniang for her kindness, and we can't ask people to help us in vain." ”

She had something in her heart, and she didn't sit for long before leaving, and Lily asked Song Haonian: "What do you think?"

Song Haonian said: "What can I see? We are here, it's hard to say what the situation is in the capital, if you really don't worry, I'll send a letter to ask my mother to help take a look." ”

"Don't!" Lily hurriedly stopped him, believing in the identity of the princess, and suddenly looked at her daughter-in-law for Wenwa, instead of breaking his blessings, it was a bad thing.

Lily thought for a while, in the end, this matter still had to fall on Yueniang, so she wrote back to Yueniang and asked her to inquire more.

Later, he asked the county lord Zhaoren: "Many of your friends are in the capital, if there are those who are not too high and can speak, they can also help inquire about the situation." ”

Zhaoren responded, and said: "In my opinion, it is not unusual for their family to fall in love with Xu Caiwen, after all, there is a second brother standing behind him, even if he is not a brother-in-law, after all, it is a relationship, and if they get along well, can they benefit less?"

Song Haonian and his wife can also think of this layer, and Lily said with a smile: "If it's so simple, I'm afraid that the girl has something unspeakable, if she responds indiscriminately, won't it pit Wenwa?" To this day, the townspeople still say that Liu Rulong's family is asking Huang Zhenzhen for his life

Dead.

It's not that Lily has a dark mind, it's really a major event in marriage and life, you can't be sloppy, you just have to pick and choose miles when you buy vegetables, and you can't make do with your daughter-in-law.

After two days, Zhaoren watched his nephews and nieces be idle, even Lily watched them read and write every day, which was easier than when they were at home, and then saw that he was busy like an old scalper, and his heart was very uneven.

In the end, I said hello to my brother and sister-in-law, and brought Hezhen to help her: "You come out to see the people's sufferings and learn new things, but you can't always stay at home." ”

He Zhen said: "I made an appointment with Ju'er to pick sour dates tomorrow......"

Before he could say a word, he grabbed Zhaoren's ears and didn't dare to say anything more. Yi'an laughed beside him: "You go, I'll pick sour dates and come back tomorrow, and I'll leave two for you." ”

He Zhen shouted: "Yi'an, you don't have any righteousness!"

No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't beat his little aunt, so he had to be a little scholar for Zhaoren, Zhaoren looked at the accounts, but if he had any doubts, he was too lazy to calculate, so he threw them to him for accounting.

Thanks to Zhen Xiao's father, he is talented and intelligent, and these arithmetic skills are not difficult for him. Rao is so and Zhen also complained: "My little aunt called me like this, sooner or later it will drain my hard work, cause me to decline before I get old, give birth to a prosperous hair early, and become a little old man!"

Most of the family members couldn't understand him and used idioms and allusions, but the little old man could still understand a few words, and they couldn't help laughing. Xiao'e said: "The lady also instructed me to see the little boy come back and eat dates and walnuts with you." ”

The tribute dates sent by the people in Beijing are as big as a pure fist, and the fresh ones are sealed in the jar and hidden in the cellar. There are also dried dates, which are red and fragrant, and are sweeter than fresh dates. In the first half of the day, he and Zhen followed Zhaoren to deal with the craftsmen, and Lily said that he wanted to make up for their brains, and asked Lan Niu and Xiao'e to grab some dried red dates and wash them, cut them open and take out the jujube cores, and then clip them

Half a walnut kernel is a small snack.

Xiao'e also said: "Little boy wants to eat steamed, or just eat it like this?"

The steamed is softer and glutinous, and the dry is more crispy, and Zhen said: "I'll just eat sweeter like this." Then he asked, "Are your brothers and sisters eating?"

Han Zhi ran over and hugged Hezhen's waist and said, "Big brother, we'll all wait for you!"

The younger this little doll is, the easier it is to take away the accent, Han Zhi has learned the local accent in the past few days in the town, and she has learned the local accent, one "mile" at a time, so frightened that He Zhen hurriedly said: "Talk well!" Han Zhi is not even afraid of the emperor and the prince, but can she be afraid of one of his grandsons?

It's almost as high as it goes, and it's really hard to climb up. The red dates are crisp and mellow, the walnuts are fried, the astringency is gone, and only the sweetness is left in the mouth. He Zhen counted the accounts for a day, and his head hurt, so he sat on the warm kang, eating snacks and drinking citrus tea, and his younger brothers and sisters gave it to him diligently

Pounding his back and pinching his shoulders, he was so comfortable that he didn't want to move.

There was only one problem, the younger brothers and sisters either pinched him and tickled him, or beat him to cry out in pain......

It was dark early in winter, and not long after they returned, a plate of dates and walnuts was not finished, and the sky was dark, and there were scattered snowflakes outside.

The barbarian girl carried the hot soup pot and put it on the kang table, and everyone gathered around to eat.

In the countryside, you don't need to be particular about food, don't say anything, just don't chew the rice while talking, just splash the rice grains. A group of children are chattering, you slap me, I squeeze you, they are all too happy. Ruchun can also climb fast now, he can't eat yet, and he is drilling around in the crowd, which attracts a burst of shouts from time to time: "Brother Chun, don't touch my soup bowl!" "Let go, this can't be eaten!" "Oops, why are you biting my toes!"

Auntie, Brother Chun grabbed my chopsticks and didn't let go......"

The room was boiling, Song Haonian and his wife were smiling, and Zhaoren said: "It's a loss that I don't get married, so I don't have to deal with so many Heavenly Demon Stars in the future!"

Han Fang said: "Little aunt, you have to deal with us!"

Zhaoren was stunned for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Yes, no matter if I get married or not, if my brothers give birth to Little Heavenly Demon Star, I will always have a headache!"

The family here was lively, and suddenly someone knocked on the door outside, and it was said that when it was time for dinner, every family was standing by the stove, and there was no reason to disturb the others, and this person did not know what the reason was.

Li Chouwa went home in the past two days, and another family member was staying in the upside-down seat, also eating, all of which were boiled mutton soup in a pot, with vermicelli, frozen tofu and other things, which was fragrant and warm.

The housekeepers added more chili peppers and pepper to this pot, and they sweated all over their stomachs, and their whole faces were red, and when they heard the knock on the door, they were stunned as soon as they walked to open the door: "Song Haoshi, what are you doing here?"

To be a housekeeper, not only must you be honest and willing to work, but you must know the basic human feelings. Song Haonian's grudge with his adoptive parents' family is not a secret in the town, and everyone knows it.

Song Haoshi and Song Haonian have never had a good relationship, and it is better to be a random acquaintance in those years as brothers, and when they are not brothers in the future, they tear their faces and do not interact.

He knocked on the door in the snow and wind, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

But seeing that Song Haoshi's face was pale, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold, he said angrily: "I have something to find Da Nian." ”

At this time, the master's family was eating, and the family had the vision to see it, so he would not let him in and disturb him, so he took him to the upside down seat and asked him if he would eat mutton vermicelli soup.

Song Haoshi shook his head with an ugly face: "Don't eat!"

He didn't appreciate it, and the family ate by himself, and listened to the movement of the head as if he had finished eating, so he led people into the hall and said to Song Haonian: "Song Haojie came to talk to you." ”

Song Haonian was also stunned, I don't know what this person is doing when he comes to him, in the end, he is a guest, he will go to the hall after cleaning up, and he Zhen has already followed, and whispered: "Second uncle, I will go too!"

He Zhen is not like his younger brothers and sisters who only know how to eat and play, he knows that his second uncle has been wronged in that family, and he is going to support his second uncle! Hezhen?
