Sakuraho's dough twitched.

That Chu Yan is as big as Brother Jiang Cheng in the lobby, she has to be eighteen this year, and she will be nineteen after the New Year, and she hasn't married yet.

And Chen Changping is about thirty-two or three, thirteen or fourteen years older than Chu Yan, if he was born two years earlier, it is estimated that he will be her father.

"Grandma disagreed, and grandpa didn't agree either, but the matchmaker lobbied hard."

The previous marriage between Chu Yan and Jiang Cheng in Chujia Village was famous in the entire Chuanhe Town.

Which family would dare to marry such a woman?

Of course, those poor or old widowers may not mind, but how can the Chu Cun Zheng family let their baby girl marry that kind of family?

Chen Zhao was worried, chatted with Ying Bao for a while, and then took his younger brother home.

After the previous flood, Chen Laozhuan also built a house on the southern slope, but only three tiled houses were built, and there was no yard circle.

The third son, Chen Changhai, also built three tiled houses next to it, and there was also no yard, because most of them still lived in old houses, just in case.

The eldest son, Chen Changrong, did not build a house in Nanpo, and he felt that it was not necessary.

Every year, there is more rain in spring and summer, and it is much more convenient to live in the old house the rest of the time.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in order to move to a new home, Chen Laoshuan's family came to Nanpo for the festival.

When Chen Zhao returned home with his younger brother, he saw that the eldest sister was helping the third aunt cook at the third uncle's house.

Grandma Chan Fung Thi was also sitting on the bench picking vegetables, while his grandfather was drinking tea with a teapot.

The old lady glanced at her granddaughter and ordered, "Let Xubao play by himself, come over and help with the dishes, and your aunt's family will come over later." ”

Chen Zhao responded and squatted on the ground to help take care of the leeks.

I listened to my grandfather and grandma talking: "After the festival, Erlang will go to the county school to study, and I have to prepare some money for him to bring." ”

Chen Feng didn't raise his head and said: "That's natural, I still have twenty taels of silver on hand, and I will give it to him when the time comes." ”

Chen Laozhuan took a sip of tea and shook his head: "What should I do next time if I give it this time?" I heard that the county students often hold poetry and painting meetings together, and they have to contribute money every time, so Erlang is naturally inevitable. Alas, plus the annual shackles and food expenses, twenty taels, I'm afraid it's only enough for half a year's expenses. ”

Chen Fengshi disagreed: "Erlang can make money himself, no matter how bad it is, his eldest brother and third brother will help him." ”

Chen Lao glanced at his wife: "How much can you expect my brother to help?" Qi'er Song'er is also studying, and she spends a lot of money on pen, ink and paper every year, and next year Qi'er is also preparing for the next exam, and she will have to spend a lot of money at that time. ”

For each exam, first of all, prepare a gift for Mr. Professor, who will lead him to find five candidates to settle the guarantee.

After that, I had to spend a lot of money to ask someone to help, contact a student as a guarantor, and after the exam, whether I won or not, I had to thank the student.

This comes and goes, and the average family can't afford it at all.

Therefore, if Chen Changping wants to study in the county safely, he must have a family with strong financial resources to support him.

And Chen Laozhuan has not much money left, and most of the family's land is also distributed to his sons, and now he is really unable to support his second son to continue studying.

The land originally allocated to Chen Changping has been sold by the Han family's losers, and only dozens of acres of mountainous land and those inferior fields on the southern slope remain.

Those fields are not for their sons to study, and it is impossible to expect them to have enough to eat.

Chen Fengshi frowned: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?" ”

The last time they went to Fucheng, although the Wei family gave a sum of money, how many times was that money enough for the family to toss?

Chen Laozhuan squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea, and said, "I see that the Chu family is not bad, and they said that they can fully support Erlang's study." ”

Chen Fengshi was not happy when she heard this, and glared at her husband: "What's good?" How can the girl of the Chu family be worthy of my family's Erlang! ”

Although she had never seen the girl of the Chu family, the whole village scoffed at it.

said that the girl was fierce and didn't know how to be polite, she had just married into the Jiang family, and before she had a cave house, she beat the head of the Jiang family's Xiaolangjun and bleed, and was finally returned to her mother's house.

With this article alone, her Chen family can't let this kind of woman enter the door.

His son is a talented man, and there are many good marriages, but the Chu family is not bad, and the Chu family is really not a good marriage.

Seeing that his old wife was angry, Chen Laozhuan said, "I just said this, it doesn't have to be the Chu family. ”

But finding a good father-in-law for Erlang is a top priority.

It has been more than 100 days since Han's death, and his son will continue to play, and others will not say anything.

Besides, there is a doll more than a year old waiting to be taken care of at home, even if you marry after the holiday, it is understandable.

That night, a full moon rose into the sky.

Lanterns are hung in front of every house.

Now that the people of Dongchen Village are rich, the festival will be more lively.

Lanterns are also hung on the West Village, but they are scattered and not as grand as those in Dongchen Village.

A tall bamboo tower was erected in front of the gate of Jiang's house, and more than 20 lanterns of various kinds were hung on the bamboo tower.

There is also an offering table on the south side of the bamboo tower, which is full of melon and fruit offerings.

The children worshipped the moon one by one, put on the lit sandalwood, and ran to the feast with cheers.

Tonight, Jiang Dalang's family set up a total of four tables, his own family accounted for three tables, and the remaining table was the Xiao family's guards, and the Wei family's small servants.

Xiao Chengyu was simply crazy.

It was the first time for him to have such a lively festival, and he was accompanied by so many friends, and he was so excited.

Cui Zhaochen was afraid that he would eat too much, so he kept telling him to eat less, but Xiao Chengyu was willing to listen, and ate every dish on the table, and his little belly soon swelled.

Sakura brought two jars of juice from home, which she cooked in the cave with the pupil spring, and added honey and a little Wuding Zhi.

"This is peach juice, it's delicious, and it can also be eaten, so I'll give you a taste."

She poured a bowl for each child, and gave the rest to A-Niang's table.

Wei Zhan and Xiao Chengyu couldn't stop drinking the peach juice, and asked for more again and again.

After the banquet, the second aunt still took the children to put the river lantern to make a wish.

After putting the river lanterns, Wei Zhan and Xiao Chengyu refused to go back to sleep, and Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu, and a few Yuanbao Huzi walked around the village with lanterns, went to see the lanterns in front of other people's houses, and stole the offerings on the table by the way.

The children of other families did not show weakness, and went to each other's houses to grab fruits for the table to eat.

The Jiang family has the most fruits and hibiscus cakes on the table, and they are also the most exquisite, and there are many children who come to patronize.

Jiang Liu and his wife watched the children come to grab the offerings, and when they saw that the offerings on the table were almost gone, they went home to get them and add them.

Until the moon shadow sets in the west, the children go home one after another.

Those who refused to leave were also carried back by their parents.

Wei Zhan and Xiao Chengyu were also sent to Huzi's house by Yingbao's ears, and they stunned the guards of the Xiao Mansion and the Wei family.

This little lady is too violent, and she dares to twist their little son's ears.

You know, the little boy's ears haven't even been twisted by their own mother.

What's even more surprising is that the little boy didn't get angry, and went back to sleep obediently very cooperatively.

Several guards looked at each other, wondering if they should tell the truth when they returned.
