Chapter 308: Righteous Relatives
Xia Qiyue listened to the quarrel for a while, and felt that now was not the time to go in, and just as she turned around and was about to leave, someone behind her stopped her.
"Xia Qiyue, why are you here?"
Xia Qiyue looked back in confusion, it turned out to be Lizheng's daughter, An Xiaoxiao, who was standing in the courtyard with a bundle of firewood.
She obviously saw An Xiaoxiao, and her eyes did not have the arrogance and disdain for people when she fled the famine.
Xia Qiyue shrugged his shoulders, "I came to your father for something to say, but it seems that now is not the time, I'll go first!" ”
An Xiaoxiao glanced into the house, her eyes were full of hatred, and then turned her head to look at Xia Qiyue, "You go to my house and wait, I'll call my father over!" They do this every day! ”
This means that no matter when you come, you may encounter this situation, so it is better to talk about it when you come!
Then he took the man into his own room, turned around and went out, and in a short time the mile passed.
"The July girl is coming..."He didn't know where to put his hands a little embarrassed, these two daughters-in-law fought every day, he was almost annoyed, and there was no way, he had to pay attention at all times, otherwise the son in Xiaolian's belly would be hurt.
"Uncle Lizheng, I came to ask you for a favor!" Xia Qiyue stood up and said politely.
"What do you say? Uncle can help, he must help! Li Zheng saw that this girl didn't mention the two women in the house, and he was relieved, which could make him less embarrassed.
"That's the uncle, I just went to the melon field to take a look, the melons are growing well, they are already the size of a fist, but I found that there are a lot of small melons in our melon field that have been picked and thrown away, and the melons have not grown up and are not ripe, and they can't be eaten! Isn't this a disaster, I want to ask Uncle Li Zheng to help me tell the villagers, I can't go to the melon field every day to guard, don't wait for the melon to ripen and give me the disaster! ”
When Li Zheng heard this, he agreed indignantly, and said that he would go out immediately, and Xia Qiyue didn't stay long, and followed out of the house.
But as soon as the two of them came out, Qiao Xiaolian ran out pitifully, with slap marks on her face, her stomach was very big, and it was a little inconvenient to walk, so she looked at Li Zheng aggrievedly.
"Master, you can take me with you, I don't dare to stay at home, I'm afraid..."
Satomasa can't help it, "That... July girl, Uncle Xiao sent Xiaolian to the old house, and then I will help you talk to the villagers! Don't worry, Uncle will solve this matter for you, you can go back first! ”
Xia Qiyue naturally nodded, after Li Zheng married two daughters-in-law, he became more and more powerless, and it was a little sloppy to solve the problems in the village.
Xia Qiyue went home, and the atmosphere at home today was very active, and his mouth had never been closed from top to bottom, because he was eating two candies in his hand.
As soon as she came home, An Youde ran over, "Fourth sister-in-law, give you candy!" ”
Xia Qiyue inexplicably took the candy, pretending not to know and asked, "What kind of candy?" Who's going to get married? ”
An Youde scratched his head, a little shy, "Fourth sister-in-law, don't joke with me, you already know that September promised me yesterday, right?" ”
Xia Qiyue pretended to be "Oh... So that's the case? ”
A few people passing by around stopped and laughed and joked.
"That's just a promise to be with you, it's not to the point of getting married, you're too early, right?" Xia Qiyue continued to joke.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I'm in a hurry, my father and mother will come to hire me in a while! There is no father and mother in September, you are her parents, the fourth sister-in-law, you are gracious, but don't stumble on me! ”
"Hire? How many steps is this to go through to get hired directly? Nacai, ask the name, Najib, it's only to the point of getting hired, how many steps do you have to omit? Xia Qiyue said bluffing words.
She knows that there is not so much trouble in the countryside, and as soon as the matchmaker she doesn't know comes to the door, she will get married in the next hiring period.
It would be better if they knew each other, and the parents of both parties discussed directly how much silver they should give, and then they got married on a certain date.
"Wait, wait, fourth sister-in-law, can you say it again? I'll go back and prepare them one by one! An Youde was dizzy by what Xia Qiyue said, so many steps, he couldn't remember them.
As he was talking, the patriarch and An Wang's came over, and just heard what An Youde said, An Wang's asked "July girl, do you have any customs in your family?" You tell your aunt that your aunt will prepare, and you don't know anything about virtue! Saying that, he looked at An Youde, "What do you know?" ”
Seeing this, Xia Qiyue hurriedly smiled, "Auntie, I'm joking with Youde, these two people know each other, and they have made a private decision for life, how can they be so exquisite!" You and Uncle Patriarch go to the house! Serve the book and make tea! ”
"Yes, ma'am!" The waiter had sugar in his mouth, and ran away with an indistinct answer.
Xia Qiyue invited someone to sit down, and the girl's relatives were always embarrassed to be present in person, so she was no exception, and she didn't call her sister over.
The tea was also served, and An Wangshi began to speak, which was to boast that there are few in the sky and no on the earth.
After a compliment, he entered the theme, "July girl, you look at the two children and they are not small, should we give them Zhang Luo Zhang Luo and let them get married?" ”
Xia Qiyue smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's really rare for the two to like each other, I don't object to this family business!" ”
This is her statement on this family business, but she did not promise to let the two marry immediately.
Anyway, it's only the second day since September made up my mind to be with Youde, can't you get married so soon, you can't look everywhere first?
Moreover, must the dowry not be prepared? You have to embroider your own wedding dress, right?
"Yes, yes, you girl is reasonable, my aunt watched you with your younger brothers and sisters, and the two children could survive all the way to the famine, which is amazing! It's not easy! Your father and mother are no more, the eldest sister is like a mother, you have the final say on the family affairs in September, and the aunt and you will not beat around the bush, you will open your mouth about this bride price, and the aunt and your uncle will go back and prepare for it! ”
Xia Qiyue shook his head, "Auntie, I didn't mention this bride price in advance, let's decide this family affair today, as for getting married, let's drag it back..."
"Fourth sister-in-law..."As soon as she heard her say this, An Youde couldn't sit still, because she said that she would definitely not go against her will in September, how long will it be delayed?
"Don't be in a hurry to listen to me!" Xia Qiyue raised his hand to ask him to pause, and then continued, "Auntie, uncle, virtuous!" You know, I'm just such a sister, so my sister gets married, as a sister, I must be married, but if I get married in a hurry, everything is too late to prepare, not only the dowry is too late to prepare, but the wedding dress is too late to prepare, such a hurried marriage, it is really too aggrieved in September, a woman will be honest all her life and marry in such a beautiful scenery, I don't want to be too aggrieved in September! Do you understand? ”
No matter what happens in later generations, this is how it was in ancient times, and a woman would marry like this once in her life.
After listening to her words, the three patriarchs on the opposite side had nothing to say.
An Wang nodded, his eyes were red, "You are a good child, you have thought about everything, our family is virtuous and anxious, I didn't expect this, July girl, just according to what you said, set a marriage today, everything will wait for the September girl to embroider the wedding dress!" ”
