Chapter 195: Aftertaste
The autumn breeze is gentle, with a hint of summer dryness.
This year's autumn harvest was half a month later than usual.
In the spring, there was still a drought in Linshan County, and few crops were planted.
After the floods, the drought has been alleviated, and the families with fertile land naturally want to hurry up and replant a crop of rice.
As mentioned earlier, Li Sanzhu has a hand in planting crops, and the crops he grows are full of grains, which are not worse than the seeds specially sold in the shops in the town. The seeds on the side of Lijia Village are all exchanged with Li Sanzhu's family.
From heading poplar to grain filling, experienced old farmers can basically see that the harvest has been achieved.
The country people are counting on this harvest to move the days forward, and the harvest is just around the corner, and every household sweeps away the resentment and sorrow of the past few years, and is full of energy.
Li Sanzhu's family has had plenty of money in the past two years, and they have bought a lot of fertile land in the mountains as long as they are not far from home.
It didn't rain, and it didn't leave the fields wasted.
Since the rain, not only the fruit trees, herbs, and rice have grown wildly, but also the weeds have grown wildly, and it is really a busy job at home, no matter how many people there are at home, they still have to go outside from time to time to hire some short-term workers to come back to help with the work.
When the farm is busy, it is not easy to hire short-term workers, and there are many servants at home, so it is not suitable to continue to buy people, so Li Qiusui proposed to harvest this season's crops, and rent some of the fields out for others to help plant.
Li Sanzhu and Liu were still hesitating.
No matter how busy you are, you can't delay Li Changshan's family affairs, and when the eight gifts are ready, you can go to the Chu family to propose marriage.
Li Qiusui's sisters can't go either, there are rules in Lijia Village, and married girls outside the family can't go with them.
Li Sanzhu and his wife led Li Changshan, and Li Guangmao went to invite Li Changgen's grandfather Li Guangcheng, whose grandson was a talented man, and went to propose relatives to add face to his family.
In this way, there are five people on the Li family's side, plus the matchmaker outside the members, exactly six people.
The proposal went smoothly, the newlyweds were of the right age, and the wedding date was set for March of the following year.
This family matter must be settled, and the Liu family finally fell into a big stone in his heart, and he was beaming with joy all day long, smiling.
After that, the members of the foreign couple came to the door, Li Sanzhu and Liu's warmly received the family, and when the guests were sent away, the couple closed the door and muttered for a long time, had dinner, and left the eldest daughter Xia He alone to talk.
Xia He walked out of his father's yard, his face was red all the time, and the red hearts who were guarding the door suddenly wanted to find Li Qiusui.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Li Qiunian ate a little too much for dinner, and was wandering around the yard to eat, and at a glance he saw that his sister was unusual, and teased: "Daddy scolded you?" ”
"It shouldn't be, our mother has never been willing to speak out loud to you."
Was it beaten? It's not like being unhappy!
Xia He hurriedly waved his hand, "No, where do you want to go?" Daddy won't scold me! It's like what happened to you, why didn't you rush to find a fight? Oops, you're getting farther and farther away......"
Xia He stopped talking, and his face turned even redder!
So what the hell is going on?
Li Qiusui waved everyone away, at this time the sky was not dark, the days were long and the nights were short, the sun had not set over there, and the moon had already risen.
Wait a minute...... This is obviously a look of extreme embarrassment......
Li Qiusui's eyes widened and he said suspiciously: "Today, the members went out to the door, did they also help my sister talk about a mother-in-law?" ”
Li Changshan's family affairs were single-handedly promoted by members outside the group, Li Qiusui said this with some jokingness.
Unexpectedly, Xia He covered his face and stomped his feet: "You can't be quiet!" ”
They haven't gone far yet, so that they can hear what faces they will have in the future.
I really let myself guess correctly, Li Qiusui rubbed his chin and looked at his sister with a smile.
Xia He's appearance follows the Liu family, his skin is white and beautiful, but his temperament is extremely introverted, which follows Li Sanzhu.
Thirteen years old, after the New Year will be fourteen, which is just right for the in-laws in the countryside.
"Which one are you mentioning? Do we know each other? I have to let my father and mother inquire. ”
Li Qiusui didn't say that if she persuaded her sister not to marry or not to find her in-laws in a hurry, she would sing which play on which stage, not be out of touch with the outside world, or even twist her up, and she could survive well in any environment. Thinking out of place, she has the ability and courage to bear the consequences, it doesn't mean that she has to prove to everyone that it is the wisest thing to do to go with nature and make her life better.
Xia He was uncomfortable by Li Qiusui, still blushing, and didn't continue to cover it, "...... That is, it is the little fat man who got married to prolong his life! ”
Li Qiusui was surprised, "People aren't fat now!" ”
I have seen two sides of others this year, and Xia He has also seen it, why do you still call others a little fat man?
"It's not that his chubby appearance is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!" Xia He muttered, "Why didn't you expect their family to come to propose?" ”
Li Qiusui raised his eyebrows, and stood still leaning against the jujube tree with his hands in his arms, "Don't think about this now, since people have already come to the door, the couple must have come first." Don't worry about who's who...... Tell me if you have a crush on that kid who got married? Or, which kid do you see pleasing to the eye, tell me. ”
Xia He peeked at his sister, this girl's posture is really domineering and bluffing, and she is not so nervous in front of her father.
Then, Xia He sneered and laughed, "Suisui, how do I think, which kid I have a crush on, as if you can come to the door to rob your relatives!" ”
Seeing that Xia He couldn't straighten up with a smile, Li Qiusui glanced at her and said in a noncommittal tone: "Which kid you can't afford to be, and you still need me to go to the door to rob your relatives?" ”
Don't mention it first, let's talk about the marriage of the family, don't care about anything else, just talk about the money, it's not Li Qiusui's bragging, his own family is really not less than his family, although his family is suspected of being a nouveau riche, his own family has not disliked their savings for many generations!
There is also that Cheng Yanshou, I heard that his reading talent is not bad, but his fourth brother is also extraordinary, and he doesn't want to be admitted to the Jinshi for three or five years, and he will be admitted to the show, which is a matter of time.
Xia He blushed again, this time he was embarrassed by Li Qiusui's praise, "How can I be as good as you say." Let's not go out of the door all day long, where can we meet so many boys? ”
Li Qiusui restrained his expression, "Sister, our family is not bad, and you are also very good." Marriage is something that cannot be ignored, and the words of your father and mother must go to your heart, and your own mind is also very important. ”
Xia He pursed his lips and raised his eyes to look at Li Qiusui, "I know, thank you for being old!" ”
Li Qiusui took her hand and encouraged her to continue.
Xia He lowered his head again, "Cheng, Cheng Gongzi has lost weight, and his appearance is not bad." My father and mother said that they had no children in the family...... and there shall be no concubines. ”
Heirs are extremely important to the ancients, and it is extremely rare for a family to make such a promise, but I am afraid that my father and mother will already be tempted, Xia He's face has been flushed, and he has no intention of objecting.
So, Li Sanzhu's family once again ushered in a happy event.
At the same time, the family of Li Guangping, the former patriarch of the Li clan, was overcast, just because Li Changqing, the talented old man in the family, was beaten up, and I heard that the right arm that wrote and held a pen was not dexterous.
