Xia Mu glanced at Gu Tingshen faintly.

After a long time, she sighed.

"Fukako, if you don't say anything else, just say that you have a marriage contract, and I can't agree to deal with you." Xia Mu said.

Gu Ting was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Engagement?

He lowered his head and frowned.

Was it the one his grandfather had set for him?

Thinking about it, he looked at Xia's mother and said with a serious expression, "Third sister-in-law, I have never admitted the marriage contract.

That's just the idea of the older generation, and I never thought about marrying that girl. ”

Hearing Gu Tingshen's words, Xia Mu did not express her position immediately.

She glanced at Gu Tingshen with an uncertain expression, and said lightly, "Shenzi, whether you approve of this matter or not, it is a fact.

We rural people value the most face, if you don't want to, then you should solve this matter first.

Instead of...... Let it fall into the situation of being tongue-in-cheek. ”

Hearing this, Gu Tingshen frowned and did not refute.

He knew that his relationship with the little girl was a little awkward in the village.

But the Gu family is an outsider in Niujiao Village, and he and the little girl are not related by blood.

Is the third sister-in-law too worried?

"I hope you can be considerate of a mother, I don't want my daughter to be affected because of these things, I hope she can have a good future." Xia Mu continued.

"Third sister-in-law, can't you have a good future with me?"

Gu Tingshen couldn't help but refute.

His expression was a little cold, and there was a hint of discomfort in his heart.

Hearing this, Xia Mu shook her head, "I don't dare to say anything in the future, but right now, I can't let my daughter do this, and ......"

Xia Mu hesitated, not knowing whether to say the next words or not.

"Third sister-in-law, you have something to say."

Gu Tingshen's eyes were dark.

"Your father...... Do you know about hiring a matchmaker? Xia Mu couldn't help but ask.

She was originally worried that it would cause a conflict between the Gu family's father and son, but now she can't control it.

"A matchmaker, please?"

Gu Tingshen's pupils shrank.

"Hmm." Xia Mu nodded, "Some time ago, I went back to Niujiao Village and heard that the people in the village said that you were going to get married.

Later, I asked your father, and I found out that he hired a matchmaker, saying that he was going to the city to talk about matchmaking. ”

Saying that, Xia Mu couldn't help but look at Gu Tingshen carefully.

When Gu Ting heard this, his brows furrowed so much that he could kill a fly.

No wonder the third sister-in-law is so opposed!

Thinking of it, Gu Ting looked at Xia's mother with a dark face, "Third sister-in-law, I really don't know about this matter, if I knew, I would definitely stop my father." ”

When Xia Mu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Fukako doesn't know.

If she knew about this and continued to be with her child, she would never forgive him in her life.

"Fukako, this matter ...... You can go back and deal with it first, but don't quarrel with your father, and when these things are dealt with, then we will talk about your problems with him. ”

As she spoke, Xia Mu glanced at Gu Tingshen deeply.

Then, the door slammed shut with a "squeak".

Gu Tingshen looked at the closed courtyard gate with sharp eyes.

Immediately, he looked at the sky.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and some sounds were faintly heard in the courtyard.

Like Teacher Shen, they were talking to Xia Mu.

Gu Ting took a deep breath, took one last look at the courtyard, and then turned to leave.

He...... I won't go back to Haizhou City today.

He had to go back to Horn Village first.

Regarding what happened in the morning, Xia Mu didn't say a word about it when she was eating breakfast.

"After eating in a while, we'll go back to Niujiao Village, and we'll pack up all our things, right?"

Xia's mother picked up a steamed bun and put it in Xia You's bowl.

"It's all packed."

Xia Youzhi's head hurts a little, and he cried too hard last night.

She finished and glanced around the table.

Everybody's there, except for ......

"Where's Brother Qiang?" Xia Youzhi frowned slightly and asked suspiciously.

Xia Mu picked up another steamed bun, dipped it in a little pickle, and said with a light expression, "Oh, I'm back in the county." ”

In the morning, not long after Gu Tingshen left, Chen Deqiang also came over, saying that he was going back to the county.

Xia's mother realized that Chen Deqiang did not live at home last night.

Her enthusiasm faded a lot, and she didn't hold back after a symbolic two polite words.

This matter caused a big fuss.

Xia Mu is embarrassed!

But Qiangzi helped the Xia family so much, she always remembered it in her heart!

When Xia Youzhi heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Let's go?

This doesn't quite look like his style!

Generally, Brother Qiang will go to Gu Tingshen first to explain clearly.

Xia Youzhi frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Xia's mother glanced at Xia You, and then continued to eat breakfast calmly.

She didn't explain, so Xia Youzhi didn't know what was going on at all.

Everyone was relieved to see that the mother and daughter looked as usual.

"Sister, do you think Lao Zhao and I still need to prepare something for the family?"

Shen Jingmei looked at Xia Mu with a smile.

"Teacher Shen, you don't have to prepare anymore, you and Brother Zhao both bought a lot yesterday." Xia Mu hurriedly stopped.

Yesterday, Shen Jingmei and Zhao Decheng went out to buy a lot of things.

There are old people and children, it's so heartfelt.

"Godmother, are you shopping again?"

Xia Youzhi frowned when he heard this.

If you buy so much, Huang Lianzhi will not know how to be grateful.

And she went back early this time because she was worried that Huang Lianzhi would sell her second cousin.

"Didn't buy much." Shen Jingmei put down her chopsticks with a smile, "Thinking that your grandparents are also old, buy them something to make up for them." ”

Speaking of this, Xia Youzhi didn't say anything anymore.

She glanced at her happy aunt Zhang Xiuxia.

Today, her uncle's family is also going back to Zhangjia Village.

The eldest aunt began to marry her Chaoyang cousin Zhang Luo.

This year, the Zhang family made some money, and many matchmakers began to come to the door.

Which is like before, you still need to ask your father to tell the milk to introduce the object.

Therefore, this time, the eldest aunt went back to Zhang Luo in advance.

After everyone finished eating, they went back to the village with their own big bags.

In order to make everyone more comfortable on the way back to the village, Xia Mu specially rented a tractor from the transport team.

Wooden railings were installed on both sides of the tractor, and tents were installed on top of the tractor.

A few people sat inside, but they didn't feel cold.

"Godfather and godmother, the road is a little bumpy, if it's uncomfortable, you can say it."

Before leaving, Xia Youzhi specially instructed.

Shen Jingmei smiled and nodded, "I know, but you don't have to worry about me and your godfather, when we went to the countryside, we didn't suffer anything, hehe." ”

They have all been to the place behind the village of Niujiao.

"Our generation has really suffered everything." Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, now that the country is open, the living conditions are much better than when we were back, hehe." Shen Jingmei replied with a smile.

“……”

Seeing a few people chatting, the corners of Xia Youzhi's lips couldn't help but rise.

This bland happiness made her very satisfied.

When Xia Youzhi turned his head and wanted to look out of the car through the gap in the wooden railing, he caught a glimpse of Xia Qingbo frowning.

Her eldest brother ...... What's wrong?

I've been worried a lot these days.

Xia Youzhi moved to Xia Qingbo's side.

"Big brother." Xia Youzhi lowered his voice.

As she spoke, she glanced at the three Xia Mu who were reminiscing about the past.

They didn't pay attention to this side.

Xia Qingbo heard Xia Youzhi's voice, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality.

"Huh?" Xia Qingbo looked at Xia Youzhi with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "What's wrong?" Young. ”

He was holding Xia Qinglin, who was asleep, in his arms, so he spoke very quietly.

"What's wrong with you? I've been running out lately. Xia Youzhi asked suspiciously.

When I asked him, I said I was going to find a classmate.

But she remembered that there was only one classmate in his town, Qin Yuandong.

She met Qin Yuandong yesterday, but she didn't see her eldest brother with him.

"Uh......" Xia Qingbo was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "What can the eldest brother do, don't think about it." ”

As he spoke, he avoided Xia Youzhi's eyes weakly.

Seeing this, Xia Youzhi was even more puzzled.

"I've heard the fat aunt call you to answer the phone a few times." Xia Youzhi looked away and said in a light tone.

Xia Qingbo was stunned for a moment, and forgot to react for a while.

"Big brother, you can't hide something from us, right?" Xia Youzhi asked seriously.

It's like the last time I was scammed.

Xia Qingbo naturally understood what Xia Youzhi meant, and he quickly shook his head.

"Young, nothing happened, really." Xia Qingbo said seriously.

"Huh?"

"I ......" Xia Qingbo hesitated for a moment, he lowered his head, and a suspicious flush appeared on his face, "Yes...... It was Liu Xiaoning who called me. ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Xia Youyi quickly, and then lowered his head.

Xia Youyi was stunned.

Liu Xiaoning called her eldest brother?

After returning from Kyoto, she often received letters from Liu Xiaoning.

But Liu Xiaoning did not mention her and her eldest brother in the letter.

"Brother, do you know that Liu Xiaoning likes you?" Xia Youzhi looked at Xia Qingbo and asked lightly.

When Xia Qingbo heard this, his face instantly turned red.

He was very nervous, and his hand around Xia Qinglin tightened unconsciously.

Xia Qinglin couldn't help but "hum" twice in his sleep.

Xia Qingbo hurriedly let go.

And all this was seen by Xia Youzhi.

She knew it.

Her eldest brother is afraid that he also likes Liu Xiaoning, otherwise he would not be so nervous and shy.

He also lied and said that he was going to play with his classmates.

"Big brother, how far have you developed now?" Xia Youzhi continued to ask.

Xia Qingbo raised his head suddenly, and then shook his head vigorously.

"We didn't develop, we didn't ...... anything"

Looking at Xia Youzhi's disbelieving eyes, Xia Qingbo couldn't say any more.

"Big brother, Liu Xiaoning likes you, before I came back from Kyoto, she told me that she wanted to pursue you." Xia Youzhi, "If you don't like her, you have to firmly reject her, she is a good girl." ”

Hearing this, Xia Qingbo was silent.

He had a neat face with a hint of arrogance in his mind.

Seeing this, Xia Youzhi didn't say anything more.

She believed that her eldest brother had his own measure.

And she could see that her eldest brother liked Liu Xiaoning, but she didn't know what he was worried about?

Xia Youzhi was deep in thought, but was interrupted by the sound of crying outside.

"You are the wife that Lao Tzu bought with money, if you don't sleep with Lao Tzu, who will accompany you?!"
