Chapter 59, On Marriage

"Can it really be done?" Xiang Gaoli likes Bai Xingguo, so he doesn't want him to be embarrassed.

But I was looking forward to it.

"Of course, you still don't believe me." Bai Jiu patted her hand to reassure her.

"Shall I go back and tell me about it?" Xiang Gaoli said shyly.

"Well, let's set a time for another dinner."

Because Bai Jiu's words made Xiang Gaoli's heart very uneasy, and she couldn't stay, so she left and went home after a while.

When Bai Xinghua came back, Xiang Gaoli had already gone home.

"Eldest sister, I'm back." Bai Xinghua likes the days when the eldest sister is at home, even if it is only two days.

"I'll eat the food when I come back, and I'll warm the food for you." Bai Jiu was folding the quilt in Bai Father's room.

What is the cotton that has been bought, but this thing has to be made by her mother, and all she can do is to fold off the old one first.

I'll put on the four-piece set she brought back in a moment.

The four-piece set in the space is really earthy, but it fits well for this era.

I have to say that I bought it really right.

It's just that there are few quilts at home, and the quilts in the eldest brother's room are all erect, not warm at all, and they still have to be remade.

So she didn't change it, the quilt in her father's room was okay, it can be seen that the sons of the Bai family are filial.

"Okay." Bai Xinghua entered the house and took a look, and saw that the eldest sister was helping her father change the quilt, scratching her head, and laughing, "Eldest sister Li, she went back?" ”

"Well, go back, don't worry so much, go to dinner, help me boil water after eating, I'll wash all yesterday's clothes in a while." There's a lot to do, and I'm busy.

"Well, I'll help you in a minute."

"No, you can go back to the house to sleep after eating, the kang in the house has been burned for you, and you haven't slept after the night shift, no matter how good your body is, you can't bear it."

She hadn't forgotten that her brother had been working for a day and a night before he came back.

Fortunately, I don't have to go to work tonight, I'll go back tomorrow morning.

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

"If you're not sleepy, you have to go to sleep." Lack of cleanup.

When he folded the quilt, Bai Jiu was angry with Bai Father about what he said to Goryeo.

"It's also a loss to your eldest brother all these years." After hearing this, Father Bai felt very uncomfortable in his heart, if it wasn't for the drag of his family, he wouldn't have become what he is now.

"Back then, your brother was very good at studying, and all the teachers said that your brother had a chance to get ahead, but no one expected that the change would come so quickly, let alone that your grandfather would die because of it."

Thinking of the past, Bai's father had palpitations, if it wasn't for his father's ruthlessness, I was afraid that the family would have been scattered long ago.

And something that Daddy hid, alas.

I don't know when I'll see the light of day.

"It's okay, didn't the eldest brother give up yet, he has been reading the book, but he can't use it now, maybe when the opportunity will come." At this point, Bai Jiu admires Bai Xingguo very much.

After so many years, he still has a different kind of attachment to books.

True to the old saying, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

In two years, it will be time for Big Brother Bai to take off.

He loves books so much, he loves to read so much, and he will definitely be an excellent teacher in the future.

"Who knows, but it's good now, when he gets married, he will have hope in this life." The most fearful thing about life is that there is no hope.

"Dad, do you agree to have a relationship with the Xiang family?" Bai Jiu asked out loud.

Father Bai smiled bitterly, "No one dislikes our family, what does our family disagree with, it is difficult for your brother and your brother to find relatives." ”

Other people's children are engaged at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but his family is the only one who has no matchmaker in his early twenties.

Of course, they did not dare to take the initiative to ask for marriage, because that would only make life more difficult for the family.

Bai Jiu understood, "Then let's discuss it when my mother comes back." ”

"Well, it's time to discuss." The eldest is twenty-seven, not seventeen, no matter how much he objects, this time he will definitely let him marry someone back.

He looked very good at that girl.

Bai Jiu smiled, "Dad, you take the medicine and take Xiuxiu and them to take a nap, and I went out to wash the clothes and quilts." ”

After getting the letter, Bai Jiu began to get busy.

She was also afraid of the cold in the winter, so she boiled a lot of hot water and came out to wash.

Fortunately, she finished washing.

The other side.

As soon as Xiang Gaoli came home, he was cleaned up by his mother's ears.

"How many times have I told you, the Bai family's family affairs are not successful, it can't be done, why do you make up for him every day, now it's okay, his reputation is ruined."

Looking at her unsuccessful daughter, Xie Mei really wanted to cry.

How did she give birth to such a dead-eyed thing?

"Mother." Xiang Gaoli is used to the way her mother treats her.

It's not that my mother doesn't love her, but she loves her too much.

"Big Brother Bai is very good, I won't marry anyone but him." She didn't know how many times she had said that.

"Besides, do we have that thing about fame?" Xiang Gaoli rolled his eyes.

She was really embarrassed to say this outside, because her father killed pigs, and many people asked her to marry not for the two taels of meat, but for her.

There are also some people who say behind her back that she has a bad life, saying that she was born in a butcher's house and is too hard, and she is afraid of Kefukezi if she marries back.

"You." Xie Mei was half angry to death.

This daughter was really born and raised in vain, what a good girl when she was a child, sweet, warm, how did she grow up like this... Heart-piercing.

It's not that she doesn't know the rumors outside, and no one talks about them in person after cleaning up.

But in private, there are still many people who say that their daughter's life is hard.

Those who came to the door to ask for marriage did have ulterior motives, otherwise they would not have kept their daughter until now.

It's because I love my daughter.

"Then the Bai family is fine, have you ever thought about how much gossip you have to face after getting married." The Bai family is worse than theirs.

At least the men and sons of the family are still very popular.

"That was before." Xiang Gaoli said with confidence, so she told her mother what she encountered today.

After listening, looking at her mother's dumbfounded appearance, she was very proud.

"The little sister is amazing, this time I made a fuss, and the life of the Bai family will be very good in the future, and when the time comes, people will not look down on their daughter, so they will say otherwise."

"He dares." Xie Mei came back to her senses after listening to her daughter's words, "If he Bai Xingguo dares to fail you, my mother will chop him with your father's pig-killing knife." "The ruthlessness on his face is really scary.

"Hmph, such a powerful sister-in-law is at home, are you sure you will have a good life in the future." But she soon came to her senses.

The daughter said that the man died and brought two children, maybe he would live in his mother's house in the future.

One has no job, the other has no food, and they have to raise two children, the Bai family originally did not have much money, but now there are three more people, and life may be more difficult in the future.

It's just that she's a stupid daughter, and she decided that ten cows can't be pulled back.
