Chen Ping'an was selling fish at the dock, and Lu Xiaosi slipped to Ding Wu's lo-mei stall to talk.

"Did my mother tell you? Someone drew a portrait to find someone, and that little girl looks a lot like you. ”

"Got it."

Lu Yangge took a handful of fried peanuts handed over by Ding Wu, sat on the low stool next to him and crackled and peeled them.

"Those three people are strange, they went straight to my stall and came, and when they came, they didn't say to buy vegetables or anything, they took out their portraits and showed me if I had seen them. It sounded familiar to me at the time, but I didn't say anything. My mother also took a look and said that she hadn't seen it, so they left without asking anyone else. Looking back, I remembered that the little girl in the portrait was like you. ”

Ding Wu saw that there was no business, so he simply sat side by side with Lu Xiaosi and began to peel peanuts.

Eat while peeling.

"If you were a girl, I guess I would have recognized it by looking at the portrait at the time."

"Then I'll go back and ask my parents why they didn't make me a girl in the first place. Or maybe they gave birth to a girl who looked like me outside. ”

After Lu Xiaosi finished speaking, he threw a handful of peanuts and chewed them in his mouth, not to mention, they were fragrant.

Go back and tell my mother that I have to leave a piece of land to plant peanuts next spring, this thing is really fragrant.

Ding Wu was amused by Lu Xiaosi, and he couldn't straighten up with a smile.

When he finally stopped laughing, he chatted with Xiaosi about his fourth brother's family affairs.

Ding Laosi's daughter-in-law is also favored by Ding Damiang, Ding Damiang is satisfied, Ding Laosi also thinks it's okay, so it's settled.

"My mother said that this time my fourth brother will not let me go when he comes back, and he will kiss after the autumn, and when my fourth sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, I will let my fourth brother get on the boat."

Lu Xiaosi asked casually: "What about you, did your mother tell you what kind of daughter-in-law she had?" ”

"Me?" Ding Wu smiled embarrassedly, "I'm still young, I have to live another two years." ”

"It's not small."

Lu Xiaosi pretended not to understand, "Li Tantan, the eldest son of Li Sixi's family, do you know it, isn't he as old as you, his mother started to tell him about his daughter-in-law this spring." However, people didn't take a fancy to him and disliked his family's lack of land and house. You are different, your family not only has land and a house, but also a house in the town, and there are two meat cases and a stall, if you say daughter-in-law, you must say the girl in the town. ”

"Not all towns and towns are the same." Ding Wu handed the peeled handful of peanuts to Lu Xiaosi, "Take it, I'll peel it again." ”

Lu Xiaosi was not polite, he took a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, stuffed it so full that he couldn't open it when he chewed it.

Ding Wuhua gave it to Lu Xiaosi, and continued to peel it with his free hands: "I haven't thought about these yet, anyway, my eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and fourth sister-in-law are all favored by my mother, so I think it's all good." Unlike my second sister-in-law, it was my second brother who took a fancy to me, and I always felt that it was not as good as my mother's choice. ”

"Yesterday, you went to my house to see it, I heard that my third aunt and fifth aunt and sixth aunt had a fight in my house, marrying a daughter-in-law, but you can't marry them like that, that's so troublesome! Or back then, my grandfather and my grandmother were too poor, and when they looked at their daughter-in-law, they wanted to be cheap, and they didn't look at their character! ”

"Anyway, if I look for a daughter-in-law, the first thing I need to do is to see what the person looks like, and then see if the other party is the reasonable person, and also to see if her father and mother are unreasonable, and the father and mother are messing around, and the girl is not much better."

Lu Xiaosi nodded frequently when he heard it, but he didn't see it, Brother Xiaowu is quite powerful, he understands this.

"What if your mother finds one for you, and you don't feel satisfied?"

Lu Xiaosi chewed peanuts for a long time, and finally vacated a place in his mouth to speak, "Will you listen to your mother's marriage?" ”

Ding Wu had a look on his face What nonsense are you talking about: "If you are not satisfied, you must say it, I will tell my mother that I don't like it, what can't I say." It's me who wants to live with my daughter-in-law for the rest of my life, not my mother. My mother can only say that she has lived a long time and seen more, and she is better than our eyesight and will pick people, but she also wants me to be able to look at it comfortably. ”

"Yes." Lu Yangge nodded.

"You're so small, how can you inquire about this?" Ding Wu squeezed his eyebrows and smacked Lu Xiaosi, "No, your mother will show you your daughter-in-law now, right?" ”

Lu Xiaosi raised his eyebrows: "How old am I, my mother is also looking at my eldest sister and second sister now, why can't it be my turn!" ”

"Oh, yes." Ding Wu suddenly said, "Your second sister will have two more years, your eldest sister should be about the same age as me, the girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, and she really wants to see each other." Looking at each other earlier, there is a suitable inquiry, and after a year or two, you can say that you will marry. ”

Lu Xiaosi: "Well, my mother thinks the same way. My eldest sister has a good temperament, and if it sounds good, it is gentle and kind, and if it is ugly, it is easy to bully. So my mother thought about finding her a simpler home, without so many contradictions, and without being bullied. ”

"Hahaha......" Ding Wu couldn't help laughing, "I know you're saying that my house is not good, you went to my house yesterday and let you see a joke." ”

Lu Yangge's face was a little impressive: "No, who doesn't have a few unreasonable relatives." ”

"However, there are a lot of them in my family!" Ding Wu sighed, "It's also thanks to my mother's strength, otherwise, with my father's good old temper, it is estimated that the skin and bones will not be enough for my uncles and aunts to gnaw." Therefore, if I want to find a daughter-in-law, I must find someone as powerful as my mother, who does not bully others and cannot be bullied by others. Neither can the family. ”

Lu Xiaosi determined this time that it was Aunt Ding who had her sister in mind, and Ding Wu didn't have any ideas.

That's okay, she handed a message to her mother yesterday, and with her mother's attention to her eldest sister, she shouldn't think about the Ding family anymore.

Since Ding Wu has no thoughts, Aunt Ding will not go to talk to her mother without asking Ding Wu.

Since everyone has no intention, it will not hurt the harmony between each other.

It's good, it's really good.

When the sun rose, Chen Ping'an's fish and shrimp were finally sold, and he brought a wooden barrel to Xiao Si: "Xiao Si, shall we go back?" ”

"If you don't go back now, you can send the bucket to the ship first."

"Oh."

Chen Ping'an carried the barrel and washed it by the river before returning to the boat, carefully covering it with a worn-out wooden plank. After a few gossips with the little steward who watched the dock, he went ashore to find Lu Xiaosi with confidence.

"Little four, where are we going?"

"Go to town, I'll take you to town for dinner."

Hearing Lu Xiaosi say this, Chen Ping'an immediately waved his hand: "Don't go, don't go, spend that money to do, let's go back to eat." ”

It costs a lot to eat in town.

"It's okay, someone has a treat, I don't have to spend money."

Lu Xiaosi ignored Chen Ping'an's objections, dragged him away, and didn't forget to tell Ding Wu before leaving, "Brother Xiaowu, I'm leaving, I'll bring you something delicious next time." ”

The snails at home haven't been raised yet, so I will fry the snails in two days and then give them to Brother Xiaowu to try.

Ding Wu liked Lu Xiaosi very much, and immediately smiled and squinted when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll wait." ”

Maybe Xiaosi's gift is delicious, and it can add a new dish to his stall.
