Li Xin was a little surprised, but she also knew that the matchmaker sometimes had the information of several families in her hands at the same time, and it was not strange to have one family at her fingertips.

Oddly enough, what does it mean to "she disagree"? Could this man be worse than her conditions? No, it's normal for a woman to marry badly, but how can a man marry a daughter-in-law who is not easy to marry? Even those who are deflated and settled, and the men are idle all day long and specialize in the autumn breeze, there are few who do not marry their daughters-in-law.

In a situation like her, she can only wait for others to pick, how can she pick others? Aunt Li's statement is too exaggerated.

Liu was a little anxious when he saw Aunt Li talking, "Which one are you talking about?" Could it be that the man is not good? ”

"Nonsense! If people are not good, can I tell the girl? ”

Aunt Li glared at Liu, and Liu smiled hurriedly, "Then what do you mean by that?" Xin'er said that she only picks people who are kind, as long as the person you said is kind, I will find a time to visit. ”

Li Xin couldn't cry or laugh, "Mother, this is nothing to do." ”

"What's the point, it's not like you don't know that your mother is illiterate!" Liu Shi waved his hand, scolded her with a smile, and looked at Aunt Li again, "Which one is that?" Aunt He, can you tell me about that person's situation first? ”

Aunt Li nodded and said slowly: "I said that this man, surnamed Guan, is the eldest in the family." ”

The Guan family that Li Taozi said is not in Lijia Village, but in a village called Lotus Village next door to Lijia Village. As the name suggests, there are many ponds in this village, and every summer, the lotus flowers bloom in the pond that no one cares about, which is particularly delicate.

The Guan family is an ordinary family in Lotus Village, and the population of the family is simple and simple, but it can be said to be complicated, and it is also complicated.

Lao Guantou only has a son and a daughter under his knees, and the daughter is married to the county town of Huixian County, and her husband's surname is Zhao; His son Guan Ming married his daughter-in-law Zhou, and gave birth to four sons and three daughters.

The man that Aunt Li told Li Xin was their eldest son.

Lao Guantou is over 60 years old this year, and his body is still strong. Lao Guan had already become a widower, and his mother-in-law only left him a pair of children, and he went away after a sickness. Lao Guan worked hard to bring up his children, and finally married his daughter out, and helped his son marry his daughter-in-law back, thinking that he should almost wait to bring his grandson to enjoy happiness, but who knew that his daughter-in-law gave birth to seven babies in a row, but when she gave birth to the last female baby, she had a difficult birth and hemorrhage, and the baby was saved, but the daughter-in-law was gone.

When Zhou died, he was only forty-four or five, and Guan Ming was only twenty-seven or eighteen, and the two uncles raised the seven children, and now the youngest girl in the family is almost fifteen and should say goodbye, but there is no woman at home who can take charge.

There are seven children in the Guan family, Lao Guantou is a person who has never read a book, Guan Ming also knows him by words, he doesn't know words, and it is very simple to name the child. The four sons were named after Wen, Wu, Quan, and Cai, which was still the words that Guan Ming heard from someone telling a book when he passed by a tavern when he went to the town to sell grain, and he felt very energetic, so he simply took it back for his own children.

The names of the three daughters are even simpler. The eldest daughter, Ah He, because she was born in the summer, the lotus flowers bloomed all over the pond, and the name should be the season. The second daughter, Ah Xiu, because she had a small mouth and a thin cry when she was born, Zhou felt that the child must be very delicate when she grew up, so she took Ah Xiu. The third daughter, Ah Mei, she is the youngest, after giving birth to her, Guan Ming will not be able to have any more children, and she suffers from the pain of losing her wife, and she has no leisure to name her.

The eldest child, the second, the fourth, and the sixth are sons, and the third, fifth, and seventh are daughters. The Guan Wen that Aunt Li told Li Xin is not only the backbone of the six younger brothers and sisters, but also the backbone of the whole family. As the eldest of the family, he has consciously taken on the burden of the family since he was sensible, helping Lao Guan and Guan Ming to pull a few younger brothers and sisters.

Speaking of which, Guan Wen is only ten years older than the youngest sister, and at the age of twenty-five this year, the second and fourth brothers are now both big men and can take charge of things. And the youngest brother Lao Liuguan was born smart since he was a child, Guan Wen gritted his teeth and tightened his belt to save money and send him to school. This year's sixteen-year-old Guan Cai, when he was young, everyone called him Ah Cai, and there was nothing wrong with it, but he became literate after going to school, because the same year in the school who took classes together laughed and said that his name was "coffin", saying that he was unlucky, and he didn't follow it when he went home, and he insisted on changing his name, so he changed his scientific name to Guan Zhicheng, which is also the most connotative name in the family.

Three younger sisters, the eldest sister was still her grandmother when she got married, that is, Zhou's mother helped Zhang Luo. But Zhou's mother died not long after, and Ah Xiu and Ah Mei's marriage could not find a reliable elder to help. Ah Xiu is eighteen, Ah Mei will be fifteen soon, the woman's youth can't afford to delay, Ah Mei can say that it will be fine in two or three years, but Ah Xiu really can't afford to wait.

Guan Wen pulled his younger brothers and sisters without regrets, when he was eighteen years old, it was time for him to say goodbye, but others felt that he had a heavy burden and a big burden, so many younger brothers and sisters below, and two old ones to support above, were unwilling to marry his daughter. After two years, when the second brother was eighteen years old, Guan Wen resolutely decided to go out to make money.

At that time, Guan Wen was twenty years old, his second brother was eighteen, and his third sister was seventeen years old. The fourth brother was fifteen years old, and he was just able to help the second brother work in the field. The fifth sister is thirteen, the sixth brother is eleven, and the seventh sister is ten years old, and the remaining three small shoulders cannot be lifted or lifted, and they are waiting for dinner with their mouths open.

In order to earn money for Guan Wu to marry his daughter-in-law, prepare some dowry for Ah Heduo, and even more for the remaining younger brothers and sisters, Guan Wen greeted his family and went to the town's dart bureau to dart.

Doing this business, the wind and rain come and go, and the head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers. That's really exchanging your life for money. Lao Guantou and Guan Ming are not unable to make money, but the Guan family is very honest, they dig in the soil to eat, plus they have to raise seven babies, and they can't live in the first few years, and the savings have been almost spent, and when Guan Wen can help the family with the crops, Lao Guantou is no longer in the ground, the younger brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law, the younger sister wants to marry, and there is a younger brother who is studying in the school, the cost is really big, so that the family can't afford it at all.

The dart is also a helpless move made by Guan Wen in this situation.

Fortunately, he has great strength, and he will come to things, and he has won the appreciation of the head of the dart, and the first time he came back with a dart, he got a dart fee of one or two silvers plus thank you. After bringing the money back, he married off his sister in a beautiful way. Soon after, his grandmother died, and he also gave his grandfather's family a large amount of ceremonial gifts, and married his second brother to a daughter-in-law during the New Year.

After two years of dart career in this way, the total amount of zero and zero has earned seventy or eighty taels. When the family was glad that life at home had been good in the past two years, Guan Wen returned to Lotus Village with twenty taels of silver in one day.

When he returned, he scared the children in the village who wept.
