May.

The spring ploughing work was basically completed.

Collective Estate No. 101 also successfully had a complete prototype and achieved the predetermined land acquisition target.

And in order to establish this manor, the members of the propaganda team have put in great toil and effort, overcome all kinds of unimaginable difficulties, and resorted to all the means they can think of, some of which can even be described as despicable, but in order to achieve the noblest goals, what about being despicable, they do not have so much time to do their work slowly, to wait for a long time.

In this process, the propaganda team has formed a set of its own working methods and experience, which is very valuable for reference to the entire Xujiazhuang, called the "101 work method", and has been awarded the key commendation of the headquarters, and has won a number of collective first-class merits and material awards - although the progress of the 101 team is behind, the difficulties overcome are indeed the largest and the most, and have been unanimously affirmed by the high-level including the owner.

……

this day.

The warbler flies and the grass grows and is verdant everywhere, which is the season when the growth of animals and plants is accelerating.

The sun is shining outdoors, the warm breeze is slow, and the blue sky is like a treasure cover, which is the most suitable weather for outing and camping in the wild.

Yuan Ying, whose injuries were not completely healed and whose head was wrapped in the image of a third brother, was given a long vacation of half a month to recuperate, although he felt that he could work as usual, he was still kicked out of the office and forcibly asked him to go back to rest.

This also gave Yuan Ying the opportunity to get out of the town, ride a bicycle, and come to a grassy hillside near the Yangtze River, while blowing the humid river breeze from the south, while looking at the scenery of the wide river, and looking back, he could see the construction of the collective estate in full swing.

All this suddenly made him feel heroic, and he felt that he had come to the world in vain.

"Brother Yuan."

Xiang Si'er, who came with him, changed into the pink skirt she usually wears, which looked even more delicate and lively, and she was adorable, she walked to Yuan Ying's side, held his arm, and rubbed her chest and said coquettishly: "My father returned the doll that I ordered, I can marry whoever I want to marry in the future, Brother Yuan, what should I do next, you should know this wood, right?" ”

Hear this.

Look at the girl's smile like a flower, her head is lowered and her face is blushing, and her bright apricot eyes are full of expectation and a hint of spring.

In the face of such a girl, and such a clear hint.

Then I thought of the reminder of the captain Wang Kangping, and the importance of the Xiang clan to the collective estate.

"Ahem~"

Yuan Ying raised his gaze, looked at the river in the south, and said: "Si'er, how do I not know your intentions, rest assured that I will not fail you, tomorrow I will send a matchmaker to the door, send a dowry, first set our affairs, and wait three years later to get married and get married, I don't know what you think?" ”

"I hate ~ the marriage event, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, Si'er can only let her father and mother arrange it, where can she decide by herself."

Xiang Si'er was even more ashamed, and the pink fist hammered on the man's arm.

"So, as long as it's arranged by your parents, you can marry whomever you want? Or if you meet a man who is in love with each other, you want to marry him, but because you can't decide, you can only miss it? ”

Yuan Ying couldn't help but tease her.

"I, of course I'm not anyone, if I'm not satisfied, I'll say I want to be filial to my father and mother for a few more years, it's a big deal to marry later or not at all."

Xiang Si'er was anxious and hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Does it mean that you like this man, so you are willing to marry him? Yuan Ying asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, I haven't said that, if a certain wood is better to Miss Ben, often coaxes me to be happy, doesn't beat me and scolds me, is willing to take me out to play, doesn't lock me up at home every day after getting married, and doesn't force me to cook and embroider, such wood, Miss Ben will reluctantly marry him."

Xiang Si'er said with a proud face.

Hearing her conditions, Yuan Ying pointed to herself in surprise: "Aren't your conditions tailor-made for me?" ”

Don't beat and scold women, respect women, this is the education he learned in the manor school very early, and it is the basic quality requirement of being a man.

It is the practice of many feudal parents to not let women go out and show their faces, occasionally go out together, and keep them in deep boudoir houses for a long time, but Xujiazhuang does not have a rule that women are not allowed to go out, and even cracks down on behaviors that restrict personal freedom.

As for cooking and embroidery, it is a skill that traditional women must master, but Xujia Manor has a large canteen and an efficient textile workshop, and women can't cook and embroider, so there is no problem in Xujiazhuang.

What's more, Yuan Ying's parents are both dead and she is an orphan, if Xiang Si'er becomes his wife and has no father-in-law and mother-in-law, she will be the master of the back house.

It's just that these conditions mentioned by Xiang Si'er may seem very willful and excessive in the eyes of others, that is, she herself feels that she may be a little willful, or she still learns how to cook, if she can't do anything, she may be divorced by her husband.

It can only be said that if a man in modern society hears these mate selection standards put forward by Xiang Si'er, a pampered lady, I am afraid that no one will feel that he is too willful, but he will be shocked that this standard is too low, as long as a man is willing to accept it, after all, in front of the mountains of bride price, house, and car, these small requirements are nothing, and any of them can become the most ideal husband.

"You're dead, it's not for you, you want to be beautiful." Xiang Si'er flew her cheeks and beat Yuan Ying even harder.

"If I send a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage, and I just meet these requirements of yours, is it possible for me to pick up a bargain and get a beautiful woman back?" Yuan Ying reached out and grabbed her pink fist, hugged her in her arms and asked.

"Hmph, then it's cheaper for you to make wood."

And her arrogant and hard-mouthed appearance that she finally had to admit was so cute, Yuan Ying couldn't help but probe down, her mouth was facing chun, and she hugged her and wrote, the original plan to just take a break and look at the scenery was suddenly forgotten.

Xiang Si'er struggled a little at first, but her body was weak and weak, not only could she not resist, but she responded positively, and in this ancient society, she did shocking things.

……

More than an hour later.

On the way back to the estate.

Xiang Si'er, who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, hugged the waist of the cyclist and asked without any reserve: "Wood, why did you stop just now?" Can't I have children at my age? My mother gave birth to me at the age of sixteen. ”

"Can't! The hospital in Xujiazhuang had two accidents of dystocia death last year, and the mothers were under the age of eighteen, so for the safety of the mother, for more healthy offspring, men and women must be eighteen years old to get married. Yuan Ying explained.

"Dongjiang Town used to have a few deaths every year, and there were so many people in Xujiazhuang, only two of them had accidents, isn't it very safe? And I want to get married early, even if I don't want children, I can sleep with a big pillow. A bump, Xiang Si'er hugged tightly.

"I'm not a big pillow, you're a little goblin who wants people's lives, can we put together dry wood and blaze fire, can we guarantee that nothing will happen? Let's wait patiently. Yuan Ying smiled bitterly.

"Oh~"

Xiang Si'er nodded in disappointment, but for the future, she was more full of yearning and expectation.
