Qian Aishu's parents, strictly speaking, should be his maternal grandparents, let's call them Daddy Qian, Aunt Qian.

In Qianjiaao, no son can make a family be poked in the backbone for a lifetime, and what is more serious is that after a hundred years, there is no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors. Qian Aishu's parents (as we should call them in order to respect the Qian family) may have "created sin in the last life" (Qian's mother tongue), and gave birth to 5 daughters in a row in this life, but the "poultry ba" that symbolizes male authority has not been able to take root and even thrive in the next generation. In the end, Qian Aishu's parents were desperate and gave up.

After the fifth daughter of the Qian family was born, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, Qian Chunxi, was already twenty-eight years old and reached the age when it was time to talk about marriage. The so-called thing is only three, the daughter has been born to 5, it seems that this life is destined to have no children, and over the years, 5 daughters and 5 mouths have eaten the family almost can't open the pot. At this point, the focus of the Qian family has shifted from giving birth to a son to marrying a daughter:

In Qianjiaao, there is a conventional unspoken rule, there is no son in the family, and he can't recruit a son-in-law, and after his daughter gets married, he gives birth to a son, and brings one over to raise him, as a son to inherit the lineage. For this, the villagers will not discriminate and will not make irresponsible remarks, because raising grandchildren is not a thing that goes beyond the boundary. It's just a slight deviation in the title, and it's not a big rebellion - compared to the queen, this is a behavior worth considering.

Qian Liudou remembered that Qian Chunxi got married in the year when she implemented household contracting—a few days after she got married, the commune sent a team into the village to divide the land. At the beginning of March, the nine sedan chairs were carried away, and Chunxi's face was full of smiles, when Qian Liudou was picking up potato vine leaves and leaves with his father in the sweet potato field at the entrance of his village, and Chunxi sat in the big sedan chair and passed in front of their sweet potato field. Chunxi held the sedan curtain in his hand, and his head poked out of the sedan door, so the people working in the field stopped what they were doing, squinting at the sun. Liudou's father also held the hoe and happily watched the sedan chair pass in front of him. In fact, it didn't take long for the custom of the girl in the col marrying a sedan chair to greet her from Qianjiaao and the surrounding villages and towns, as if she was stoned to death at that moment, and never came back to life. This is also a very coincidental and helpless thing.

Chunxi greets whoever she sees.

"Third uncle, the sun is poisonous." Chunxi said to Liudou's father.

"Yes, yes, Chunxi, you just got married." Daddy Liudou said.

At that time, in addition to the sedan chair driver, there were only two people accompanying the sedan chair, an old woman wearing a red blouse, who should be a matchmaker, and the other was the man's Langke (the representative of the man to greet the bride, and the woman was called Langke. —a boy in his mid-twelve-thirteen years-old.

"What should Chunxi look like for her man?" Liudou's father asked Liudou, but he replied, "It's not necessarily going to be any better." Daddy Liudou smiled faintly and shook his head.

Chunxi is not bad-looking, and in Liudou's opinion, she is the best-looking big girl he has ever seen. He was very puzzled by his father's words, so he couldn't help but ask his father, why can't Chunxi's men be good-looking? Father Liudou pouted and said, either it is "blood chestnut". Six Beans asked his dad what a blood chestnut was. His dad replied, "Blood chestnuts—they don't look good." ”

When Chunxi and her man accompanied Chunxi to "return to his mother's door", Liudou finally met him. "Returning to the mother's door" is a very important day for the woman, which is as important as "entering the tea", "fixing" and "worshipping", and it is an indispensable four steps for men and women to get married. On this day, the man came to more than one man. There are several porters alone. A stretcher carried a whole pig, and there were several wedding boxes. The long line was more lively than the day of the crossing. Her man took Chunxi's hand, and the two of them walked into the village harmoniously. This is even more surprising to the people in the col, but in Liudou's opinion, this is a very obvious thing - Chunxi is the best-looking big sister in Qian Jiaao, which girl doesn't like to watch? In the words of the Qian family, Chunxi suddenly took over the power of the man's family - just look at the formation of "returning to the mother's door". Of course! "Returning to the mother's door" is important, but it will not exceed the "door" formation in the man's plan.

The women of Qian Jiaao have a strength, that is, "research", and their curiosity and desire to study this strange event of Chunxi far exceed that of Marx to communism and Newton to gravity.

The man is very good-looking, with good facial features and a slender body, and he doesn't look like a peasant family at all. "Isn't it second-rate?" It was said. "I'm afraid." Among the people, there are those who agree. "What are you talking about?" There are also those who don't feel it. Everyone was blocked at the door of Chunxi's house, and Chunxi sat in the hall with her bun, pink gown, and pale blue trousers. Next to it was a small square table, on which was a white teapot with a slightly dim glow, and then several cups, which circled around the teapot in an irregular pattern. Her house was dull and even a little dark.

This reminds Liudou of a year ago, a young man came to Chunxi's house for a blind date, at that time, Chunxi also sat in the hall like this, and their hall was the same as now, very dark and a little dark, like a freshly hollowed out stove, and the ash hanging on the roof beams was knotted, like a burnt gourd thread, which made people afraid to go into the house.

The young man who came to the blind date was quite handsome, but soon Liudou found that his left hand was always in his jacket pocket, and he had always been like this, and he had never taken it out, which made Liudou feel very strange. At that time, everyone was also blocking the door, and Liudou's sister Soybean was standing next to him, he pulled the corner of her clothes and said to her: "Sister, look, it's so strange." "Soybean didn't know what he was referring to, so she asked him, what's so strange." I can't even see it, his hands. Liudou's voice was very loud, and Liudou thought that soybeans were ridiculous, and he couldn't see anything about it.

As soon as Liudou's words fell, Soybean pulled him to squeeze out of the circle of people, and when he left, he squeezed out a smile and made amends to the young man, "The second stunned man is here, don't be surprised." ”

When he got home, Liudou asked why Soybean pulled him back, "I haven't seen it clearly!" He said.

What's so nice about that, isn't it just a handsless one? Soybean said lightly.

No hands? Only then did Liudou know that it turned out that the young man had not pulled his hand out because he had no hand. No wonder the pockets are flattened.

Later, Liudou heard that because of his words, Chunxi's family affair was not successful. After listening to his words and his sister's apology, the young man's face immediately hung up, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing, and turned into a pool of stagnant water. In the end, it was the young man who opened his mouth, "This, this, it's not too early to see the sky, you should go back." Then he got up. Aunt Qian wanted to keep him for dinner before leaving, but the young man couldn't stay and insisted on leaving. When Chunxi saw it, he grabbed Aunt Qian and said, if people want to leave, let them go, you stay and stay, it doesn't matter if people are fine, if there is something to see and not delay them? The young man laughed a few times and then left.

Less than a month after this time, there was another blind date boy from Chunxi's house. Hearing this, the idlers flocked to Chunxi's house, and still formed a circle to block the door of the hall. This time, as soon as Liudou came up, he looked at the young man's limbs, no problem, he didn't put his hands in his pockets, really, Liudou saw two hands and two legs, very complete. Liudou breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he dreamed that his hands and feet had been cut off, and he became like a round winter melon, and then woke up, and hurriedly went to see if his hands and feet were still there, and when he saw it, he mentioned that his heart fell back to his original place first, but he was not at ease, so he had to touch his feet with his hands, and then touched his right hand with his left hand and touched his left hand with his right hand, and then dared to be sure, it turned out to be just a dream. No, after Liudou breathed a sigh of relief, he asked the dog next to him softly: Dog Egg, Dog Egg, you see that his hands and feet are fine, right? Goudan looked at it carefully for a long time and said, it should be fine.

"Then Chunxi should be married out this time." Although the last blind date didn't succeed and couldn't be attributed to Liudou, he was also the one who lit the fuse. So Liudou really hopes that Chunxi can get married soon, lest someone say that he is wrong for Chunxi in the future. It can be forgiven for the time being if you miss Chunxi, but if you mistake the Qian family's inheritance, it will really be unforgivable.

"It should be fine." Six Beans muttered to himself.

However, later, Chunxi's family affair turned yellow again. After all, Liudou didn't hear about it.

However, Chunxi finally got married.
