Chapter 221: Heart Like a Mirror (2nd Update)
Ye Sanniang, who had finished cutting the pigweed, sat on the pebbles, the warm sun of early winter shone warmly, looked at Lian Haitang not far away and asked, "How is your aunt?" Decide when to get married. ”
"Originally, the date was going to be set, but the government summoned them, so it was postponed." Lian Haitang's bright eyes looked at her and said.
"Nothing will happen!" Tian Sujube said worriedly.
"No, the prefect's wife attaches great importance to the remarriage of the widows, and personally summoned them to investigate whether their female celebrities are experts. It is said that there is a reward for good embroidery! Lian Haitang said with his eyebrows fluttering.
Ye Sanniang had already learned about these things from the Yanxing brothers, and the prefect and his wife acted quickly.
People are sloppy in getting things done, and there are too many manpower and resources that can be mobilized.
"Ahh Aunt Lian must be fine. Zhu Banguo said with a smile, "How much is the reward?" ”
"I don't know." Lian Haitang shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"What are you doing with the men?" Ying Shanhong blinked incomprehensibly and looked at him and said.
"We women ask for good women, and this man asks for good farming." Lian Haitang said with a smile, "After all, it is the pillar of the family, and the land is not well planted, how can you support the family!" ”
"Wow......" Zhu Banguo and the others all looked at her in shock.
"So why are you surprised?" Lian Haitang's eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons, "I feel that this is too good, much better than what the matchmaker said." It's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around, and you want to cheat, and the prefect is watching! ”
"Matchmakers are hateful, and sometimes for the sake of silver, they can boast about straw bales like flowers." Zhu Banguo said resentfully.
And the prefect also said that eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and beating his daughter-in-law will all be disqualified. You have to be an honest farmer. Lian Haitang happily announced to them.
"Wow...... the three of them looked at each other excitedly, "that's great." ”
"The prefect is so good, isn't it?" Tian Sujuju's eyes were full of little stars and said adoringly.
"What if someone deceives the prefect?" Ying Shanhong said worriedly, "After all, the prefect doesn't know them!" ”
"The prefect will find someone to inquire, dare to deceive the prefect and beat them." Lian Haitang waved his arm and said.
Ye Sanniang looked at the innocent them with a smile on her face.
"What if we ...... It would be nice if a man who married us could also let the prefect pass by. Lian Haitang said with envy.
"yes!" Zhu Banguo also said with extremely red eyes.
"The prefect also asked a doctor for both men and women to check the pulse, and if there is a disease, it is better if there is no disease, and there will be no situation where my aunt is happy." Even Begonia said that she was envious, and her eyes were red like something.
"What else can you do?" Zhu Banguo said with an incredulous expression.
"Yes! Listening to what my aunt said, I was scared stupid. Lian Haitang still said in shock.
"But I think it's a good idea, but it's unlikely to be eliminated." Zhu Banguo looked at them with clear eyes and said.
"Why?" Ye Sanniang suddenly looked at her with interest and asked.
"Because the bride price is high! High dowry, fathers will not refuse. Zhu Banguo looked at her soberly and said.
"The bride price is high, it's too tempting." Tian Sujube nodded again and again, "Plus the family is really anxious to use the money, so they won't make a decision." ”
"Aunt Lian's father is sick, and she is anxious to save her life!" Ying Shanhong couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Sanniang's dark eyes looked at their immature little faces, and her heart was like a mirror, but she knew that it was a fire pit, so she resolutely jumped in.
The atmosphere is a little stagnant, and the silence is terrible!

"How's the rabbit at home?" Ye Sanniang's bright eyes looked at them and changed the subject, "Hey, okay?" ”
"That's good." Lian Haitang smiled again when he heard this, "They eat so deliciously." ”
"I'm so happy to see them eat so well." Zhu Banguo said with a smile, "I especially like to stare at them and eat grass." ”
It should be said that it is particularly decompressing, Ye Sanniang said in her heart.
"Uh-huh!" The four little girls nodded in unison.
"Begonia, why is your hand cracked?" Ye Sanniang reached out and grabbed Lian Haitang's hand, and the back of her hand was obviously rougher.
"My hand is like this, touching the water, and the wind is blowing like this." Lian Haitang rubbed the back of his hand and said nonchalantly, "I've been used to it for so many years." ”
"Sister Begonia's hands are even worse in the cold winter, their hands are swollen like carrots, and their chilblains are even worse." Zhu Banguo pointed to his hand with his index finger, "We are actually all about the same." ”
"Then don't touch the water, or reduce it." Ye Sanniang looked at them innocently and said.
"How can you not touch the water! Washing clothes, washing vegetables, washing pots, washing dishes, these are all our jobs, doing it every day. Ying Shanhong said with dark brown eyes when she heard this.
"This laundry is better, hit with a mallet, this washing vegetables, washing dishes, not getting wet!" Tian Sujube looked at her helplessly and said.
"I'm not teaching you how to make gloves out of rabbit skin." Ye Sanniang's amber eyes like cat's eyes looked at them and said.
"That glove can't touch the water!" Lian Haitang said regretfully when he heard this.
Ye Sanniang stroked her eyebrows with her index finger when she heard this, thought about it carefully, and said, "Yes, turn over the rabbit skin gloves and the inside is oily and waterproof." ”
"Is that okay?" Lian Haitang took out the gloves from the back basket, turned them over, and put them on his hands, "I have to go back and try this, I don't know if it's leaking." ”
"It must be leaky, the eye of the needle is so big, pierced with an awl." Tian Sujuju's index finger nodded at the glove on Lian Haitang's hand and said, "If you drag it, you can see the eye of the needle." ”
Ye Sanniang looked at the thick eye of the needle, this was not a special glove that was shaped at one time.
Ye Sanniang pursed her index finger with her lips, and thought about it seriously, "Umbrella, that oil-paper umbrella doesn't leak rain!" ”
"Make a pair of gloves out of that cloth and you'll be waterproof!" Ye Sanniang's dark eyes looked at them and said.
"But it's so thin with oily paper, and it's still cold!" Ying Shanhong thought about it when she heard this.
"Stupid, put on the outside, wear two gloves, mostly waterproof." Lian Haitang said with a grin.
"This also needs to be sewn with a needle, and there is still a needle's eye! Isn't it still leaking? Tian Suanzao said worriedly.
"Hmm!" Ye Sanniang thought for a while and said, "If we don't sew it like this, let's wrap it." The bright black eyes looked at them and said, "Is there any broken umbrella at home, remove it and try it." ”
"We'll have to go home and find it." Lian Haitang's eyes lit up, and then he said again.
"If we really do it, we won't get frostbite and suppuration every year." Zhu Banguo lowered his eyes and looked at his hands and said.
