Chapter 12 Seeing the Daughter-in-law
The village chief and the lieutenant chief, as well as the dog family, all felt the convenience of the cart, especially the village chief's house, where there were many fields, and a few men threw the tied ears of wheat to the cart, and when it was full, they pulled the grain field, which was too easy.
At the end of the day, the villagers were moved, and in February, the sorghum and rice will be harvested, and those who have more fields at home have decided to let Jixiang make a few board cars.
On the way to work the next day, Jixiang was constantly stopped by the villagers, it turned out that they all wanted to board the car, and their hearts were also bubbling with beauty, those people were too lazy to go to the mountains to cut down trees, so they were willing to give 100 Wen, they were all smart people, and it was cheaper to find Jixiang than to go to the county to buy 50 Wen.
The eldest daughter-in-law saw that there were more and more people who wanted a board car, a board car was 100 Wen, 10 cars were 1,000 Wen, and 20 cars were two taels of silver, it seems that this auspicious car is still quite good at making money.
As soon as his eyes rolled, he ran to Grandma Xiang's side, and said with a smile: "Hanlin's family, there is a girl from my distant relative, fifteen years old this year, as old as Jixiang, I want to be a matchmaker, don't you think?" ”
Grandma Xiang's eyes lit up, she was worried that there was no suitable girl in the village to be her daughter-in-law, and she didn't think that the eldest daughter-in-law had helped so much.
"Old sister, thank you, I'm really worried, can you tell me about the situation of the girl's family?" Grandma Xiang asked.
The eldest daughter-in-law said with a smile: "If you want to say that the girl is definitely a good girl, she has nothing to say about her embroidery work, and the family has also saved some money by relying on this child's embroidery work, and she looks beautiful and generous." ”
Grandma Xiang also smiled when she heard it, the eldest daughter-in-law in the family can cook, and the second daughter-in-law can go to the ground, but the embroidery work is not good, especially the second daughter-in-law, who embroidered a pair of ducks and said that it was a mandarin duck.
And look at the small clothes that Fu Bao is wearing, although the stitches are fine and the hem is good, but the girl's clothes are bare on the body, they are still white, and they are more beautiful.
Still she couldn't stand it, so she found some colored silk threads, and embroidered some colorful chickens and ducklings on the cuffs and hems of her clothes, and then brought up her joy.
It's just that Grandma Xiang was just about to agree, but she thought of the situation at home, when she married Xiang Hanlin, the conditions of the Xiang family were also limited, and later they split up, so they had the current courtyard.
The yard has a front yard and a back yard, the front yard has a kitchen and a firewood house, and a big chicken coop, and the backyard is very large, at least one acre of land, in addition to the vegetable field, a pigsty and a thatched house are also built, and now there is a cowshed.
It's just that the living room is not big, a row of earthen houses, the middle is a hall house, eating and going in and out are in the hall house, on the left is the room of Grandma Xiang and the old couple, and on the right is the room of the three sons.
Later, when Ping'an and Fugui grew up to marry a wife, they divided the room on the right into two, one for Ping'an and one for Fugui, but fortunately, when the house was built, it was very large, and now it can be made up of two rooms.
The room of their old couple was also divided into two, one for Jixiang to live in, and one for himself, and later Jixiang went to the carpenter shop for apprenticeship, and Jixiang's room was for several children.
Now that Jixiang is back, he still makes do with his nephew, anyway, they are all male babies, and they can all sleep in a chase shop.
But if Jixiang wants to get married, the six boys will either go back to their parents to live, or there will be no place to live, and the eldest grandson is also ten years old, and there are only a few years left before the days of seeing each other's daughters-in-law.
"Old sister, why don't you wait for the next year to see each other, you also know that my family has many houses and few houses, so I have to save money to build a few bigger houses, and Xiangchu is not small." Grandma Xiang's face became a little sad.
When the eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she also felt that this was the reason, and there was a reason why she didn't say that the bride price asked by her relatives was too high, where is marrying a girl, it is simply selling a girl.
"It's also done, but I think Jixiang is a promising person, let's talk about this next year, I'll go to work." The eldest daughter-in-law said cheerfully.
Soon it was time for the meal, Grandma Xiang was still thinking about letting a few boys go home and take out the food, but she didn't expect her second daughter-in-law to come over with Xiao Fubao on her back and a basket of food in both hands.
As soon as Grandma Xiang saw her precious granddaughter, she hurriedly put down the nail rake in her hand, wiped and wiped her hands on the seam of her trousers, and then liberated Fubao.
Fu Bao was already hot and almost rolled his eyes, Grandma Xiang saw Fu Bao's red face, and glanced at her second daughter-in-law dissatisfied, she couldn't wait at home and let a few children get it.
Grandma Xiang took Fu Bao to the shade of a tree and sat down, Fu Bao absorbed the shade from under the root of the tree, and the hot red face finally slowly regained its whiteness.
The eldest daughter-in-law looked at Fu Bao's eyes and a green light also appeared, this Fu Bao is really a glutinous rice dumpling, the family is very pampered, if you can say it to your little grandson, then ......
Grandma Xiang didn't notice the little Jiujiu in the eldest daughter-in-law's heart at all, and asked Xiangchu to call the family over for dinner, and Xiangchu ran to the ground with her legs.
Jixiang has seen the second sister-in-law who came to deliver the meal with Fubao, and when he saw Fubao, he couldn't help but think of his board cars, his lovely niece, if there was no you, where would he have so much business.
Fu Bao felt a vibration of his soul again, and couldn't help but look in the direction of auspiciousness, this uncle is so strange, there was no merit value when he found the bison, how can there be so many merit points now.
Fu Bao concentrates his mental power, strives to absorb merit points, and slowly cultivates with the experience of the tree spirit in the previous life, as long as he cultivates the essence, he can achieve greater achievements.
Grandma Xiang, who was holding Fubao, felt wrong at first, and there seemed to be a burst of coolness blowing out under the tree, which not only blew away the sweat on her body, but even Fubao's body was cool.
Quietly handed over Fubao to a rich sister-in-law, and then let a few of his grandchildren sit over, and it was time to eat when it was time to eat, and the meal was also the hottest time of the day, so it was in the shade of this tree to escape the heat.
As soon as the children walked into the shade of the tree, they felt a sense of coolness, but they were all smart not to speak, but to help Grandma Xiang take out the food in the basket.
The old man also came over with Fugui and auspiciousness and pulled the cart, speed up a little, and today he can harvest all the eight acres of land, and when it is dry, he can grind wheat.
As soon as the three of them walked to the shade of the tree, they felt comfortable all over their bodies, as if they drank a glass of ice water on a hot day, and the whole person recovered, the old man Xiang glanced at Jixiang, and Jixiang nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Old Man Xiang put down his heart, walked to Fubao's side, stretched out his hand to touch her little face, but saw his rough hand, and quickly took it back, the girl's skin was tender
After the harvest is done, the wheat is dried, and after the wheat is dried, every household has to grind the wheat, and everyone has a smile on their faces when they see the snow-white wheat and wheat bran separated.
