Lin Xiaoman was distressed, and squeezed next to her to sit down, "Oh, what kind of grievance is this?" Why do you want to drop golden beans? ”

Lin Xiangxing leaned her head on Lin Xiaoman's shoulder, "Xiaoman, I'm getting married, I'm afraid it's hard to see each other again in the future." ”

Shen Guihua was saddened by her daughter, but how could her daughter not marry when she was older?

"Okay, don't talk about those, how can there be a girl who doesn't marry when she's older? If you say that, Xiaoman should be uncomfortable too. ”

Lin Xiangxing, who was originally just aggrieved, listened to Shen Guihua's words, and tears fell down like pearls with broken threads.

Lin Xiaoman has long known that Lin Xiangxing likes Li Tiezhu, a farmer in Liujiazhuang in the next village, and Lin Xiaoman has also seen that person, and he is a good offspring.

But the Li family was so poor that they didn't even have a piece of land, so they could only rent the land of the owner of Liu Zhuang to plant, and after paying the rent for a year, the remaining grain was not even enough to make ends meet.

In the past few years, the year has not been good, and I heard that I still owe Liu Zhuang a lot of money. Lin Xiangxing's family didn't want to marry their daughter to suffer, and they never agreed to this family business.

But at this time, seeing Lin Xiangxing crying all the time, Lin Xiaoman felt uncomfortable, and asked Lin Xiangxing which family she was ordering, saying that she was surnamed Fang who opened a grain shop in the county, and there was an only son in the family, and Lin Xiangxing was married to a young grandmother.

"If you get married, you can live a good life with clothes to stretch your hands and food to open your mouth, what do you say she doesn't want to do?"

Lin Xiangxing was still crying, and the other three people in the car also followed: "Xiangxing is reluctant to be a father, Fang Ji Grain and we have also heard of it, there is only one son in the family." Mrs. Fang is a continuation of the door the year before last, for example, Fang Gongzi is not a few years older, she should not be able to put her mother-in-law's score, there is a maid at home to serve, and Xiangxing is happy to marry in the past. ”

Lin Xiaoman comforted softly: "Why don't I go into the city today and accompany you to the grain store to take a look, what if the person is not bad?" ”

Lin Xiangxing's crying stopped, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she hummed softly for a while.

The yellow mud road was full of potholes, and the carriage walked on it and bumped all the way, which made Lin Xiaoman begin to envy the big road over there.

Finally arrived at the county seat, Lin Xiaoman only felt that the bones in his body were about to be scattered, and she didn't want to take the carriage anymore when she went back.

got out of the car, although Lin Xiangxing didn't say anything, but her eyes were all about asking Lin Xiaoman to accompany her to the Fang family's grain shop to have a look, but Lin Xiaoman asked her to calm down a little, "Aunt Osmanthus, I'm a little thirsty, go to the tea shed over there to drink a bowl of tea?" ”

Shen Guihua smiled and nodded, "Okay, Aunt Guihua invites you to drink." ”

Lin Xiaoman was not polite to her, and several people walked into the tea shed.

The person who opened the tea shed was a woman in her forties, and there was no one in the tea shed at this time, so when she saw the four people walking in, she came over and greeted with a smile, "What kind of tea do you want to drink?" ”

Shen Guihua ordered a pot of Biluochun.

Lin Xiaoman remembered that when she was a child, her mother and Aunt Osmanthus took her and Xiangxing to the city every time they ordered Biluochun, and her mother would use piping hot tea to scald the tea bowl, and then pour a little sugar into the tea bowl for her to drink.

Now that her father and mother are gone, Aunt Osmanthus still remembers the tea she loved to drink in the past, and she was a little sad for a while.

The woman was about to leave after bringing the tea, but was stopped by Lin Xiaoman, "Uncle, I'll inquire with you about someone." ”

The woman wiped her hands with the apron in front of her, "Who does the girl want to inquire about?" I don't know if I recognize it. ”

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "It's the young owner of the grain store in the city, I heard some time ago that he was going to invite someone to go to the countryside to talk about the matchmaker, so I wanted to ask the young owner of the grain store who has a great business, why do you want to invite someone to go to the countryside to be a matchmaker?" ”

The smile on the woman's face froze, and when she saw that there was no one around, her eyes swept over the faces of Lin Xiaoman and Lin Xiangxing, and then she whispered: "Which girl in your family is this?" Don't hide a few, if the Fang family invites someone to come to the door to propose, don't respond, a good girl can't push it into the fire pit. ”

Lin Xiangxing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Guihua's face turned white, and she took out a handful of copper coins from her body, "Eldest sister, you and I have a good talk about what kind of family this Fang family is." ”

The woman knew that Fang Ji Grain was her daughter in the photo, and she looked at the copper coins in her hand, about thirty of them, and had a smile on her face, "There just didn't have any guests, a few of them came here with me to talk about it." I'm not asking for the money you give, but I can't see my good girl jumping into the fire pit......"

Coming out of the tea shed, Lin Xiangxing's whole person was relaxed, but Shen Guihua's face was green, "The surname Fang is really not a person, it's just a matter of looking for flowers and asking Liu Ran to be sick on weekdays, and her stepmother won't let it go?" I don't know whose seed Mrs. Fang is carrying in her belly? ”

Lin Xiangxing pulled Shen Guihua's sleeve, "Mother, don't talk about this outside." ”

Shen Guihua was also angry for a while, and after finishing speaking, she regretted that she shouldn't have said these things in front of her daughter.

Lin Xiaoman also said: "Aunt Osmanthus, the most important thing at the moment is to retire the Fang family, but you can't marry Xiangxing into the Fang family." ”

Shen Guihua nodded again and again, hurriedly bought some things in the city, and rushed back with Lin Xiangxing.

When I passed by Fang Ji Grain Store, I saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old sitting in front of the door, who looked like a human, but he was pulling and pulling with a brightly dressed woman there, and he had to touch it from time to time.

After inquiring with the person next to him, the young man was Fang Mingcheng, the young owner of Fang Ji Grain Bank, and the woman was from Baihualou in front.

Shen Guihua spat over there, "Deng's disciple!" ”

Causing passers-by to laugh, Fang Mingcheng was so angry that he wanted to rush over and beat someone, but was stopped by the guy next to him, and said something in his ear, Fang Mingcheng's eyes were filled with disbelief and weakness.

If he originally believed in the tea shed woman, seeing that Shen Guihua still didn't believe it, and married his daughter into the Fang family, he really pushed it into the fire pit.

Fortunately, listening to Shen Guihua and Lin Xiangxing's meaning, they have not yet made up their minds, as long as Xiangxing's family does not agree to this family affair in the end, the Fang family will not be able to say anything.

Shen Guihua rushed back with her daughter to tell her family about it, and Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu inquired with people according to the address written on the deed.

After asking a few people, I found my shop in a corner.

The façade does not look small, there is a stove outside the door, and a simple canopy is built, which looks crumbling, and the shed should be strengthened in order to prevent rain and snow.

Fortunately, it is a little bit off here, but the front door is spacious, and a few tables can be set up on a good day.

But they were greeted by the Iron General.

Compared with the adobe houses in the countryside, the brick houses in the city are much stronger, and they are not in the epicenter, and the dragon turned over last year, which did not have a big impact on many shops in the city, at least my father and mother bought this shop except for looking dilapidated, there is no damage at all.

Lying down on the torn window paper, I looked inside, and there were twelve square tables in the shop, each with four long stools.

There were still some rags left on the ground that had not been taken away.

I asked the shop next to me to find out that this shop was rented to a husband and wife who sold steamed buns last year, but everyone had a hard time in the past two years, and they couldn't buy a few cages a day, and if they hadn't paid a year's rent, they would have closed down long ago.

finally waited until the rent was full for a year, and the couple closed the door and left before the owner came to collect the house.
