Except for the west wing where Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu lived, the main house and the east wing have been removed, and the stone foundation has been laid.

The bricks and stones that were picked up and used were piled up outside the courtyard, and they were only used to make a fire or build a courtyard wall when the time came.

Shen Guihua and Lin Xiangxing were cooking sour plum soup in the simple stove room, and the smell of sour plum and hawthorn wafted in the yard.

The people who work sweat a lot, and they have to drink several pots of water a day, Lin Erhu gave the sour plum soup bun, Shen Guihua boiled a pot in the morning, and another pot in the afternoon, in addition to the people who worked, there were also many children in the village who came to beg for it.

Shen Guihua boiled the remaining scum for them to drink twice, and the children also drank deliciously.

One of them gave a few pieces of oil residue, some children ran away after eating, and some children would leave behind the firewood they had chopped in the mountains.

Shen Guihua wrote down the names of these children, and said them to Lin Xiaoman at this time, and Lin Xiaoman wrote down these children, and if there is anything that children can do in the future, he will find these children to do it.

"Aunt Osmanthus, stew beans at home at night, don't leave with Xiangxing."

Shen Guihua was also not polite, "Cheng, Xiangxing's father has been working in the city these days, and their family has not agreed with the Fang family's family affairs because I have seen that our noses are not noses, and our faces are not faces, and we are too lazy to go back to serve." ”

Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that the sons of the Fang family would be like that, and Shen Guihua's in-laws still wanted to marry that family, but thinking about the faces of that family, it didn't feel strange.

Shen Guihua went into the stove room to cook soup, and Lin Xiaoman saw that Lin Xiangxing seemed to have something to say to him, so he pulled her into the house and startled Lin Erhu, who was lying in the closet surfing the Internet.

Fortunately, before Lin Xiaoman entered the house, he was afraid that there would be a scene where he couldn't see people, so he blocked Lin Xiangxing with his body, and after entering the house, he kicked Lin Erhu and warned him with his eyes that he was not allowed to play with his mobile phone all day long.

Lin Erhu scratched his head in disdain, but his eyes fell to the door, he remembered to lock the door, why did he forget it this time?

Lin Xiaoman said: "Erhu, you go out first, I have something to say to your sister Xiangxing." ”

Lin Erhu said oh oh twice, put the phone in his arms and ran out.

"Xiangxing, what do you have to say to me?"

Lin Xiangxing bit her lip in embarrassment, "Xiaoman, I told Tie Zhu yesterday to let him go to my house to propose, and he promised to invite a matchmaker to come over tomorrow, but he also said that the past few years have not been good, and the family still owes Liu Zhuang owner money and food, and there is no money for me as a dowry, what do you say I should do?" ”

Lin Xiaoman somehow thought of Xiaomeng's scumbag boyfriend, who also had no money to give a dowry, but had the money to buy a car of more than 200,000 yuan.

The past few years have been bad, but Liu Zhuang's person is not bad, as long as he is not lazy, he has never heard of anyone who owes him money.

She had seen Li Tiezhu before, and felt that the person looked honest and seemed to be willing to do it, but in the end, it was just a quick glance, and she didn't know what he was, in case he was also the kind of person who was Xiaomeng's scumbag boyfriend, should she persuade Lin Xiangxing to kick him?

What's more, Li Tiezhu really wanted Xiangxing to be good, and he should have found someone to propose marriage a long time ago, is it really because he can't get a dowry that he has been delayed again and again? Or does he have nothing to fear about Xiangxing?

"You and I are honest, where are you and him? Did he take advantage of him? ”

Seeing Lin Xiaoman's serious expression, Lin Xiangxing was bluffed, but soon her face turned red, "What are you asking for?" ”

Lin Xiaoman's heart chuckled, this side is not better than that, if Lin Xiangxing really slept with Li Tiezhu, she really couldn't say what to let Xiangxing think about it again.

"If you ask, I'll help you see if Li Tiezhu is worth your trust."

Lin Xiangxing muttered, "I ...... I held hands with him. ”

Lin Xiaoman let out a long breath, if he just pulled his hand, it would be nothing, as long as no one saw it, he could not admit it at all, "What else?" ”

"Also...... And also...... He suddenly came over to kiss me yesterday, but I didn't dodge, and he kissed me in the face. ”

Lin Xiaoman's eyes flashed with displeasure, this side is not more open than that side, men and women who have not yet married kissed in private, and when they are seen by outsiders, the woman's reputation will be ruined, even if a man marries her and enters the door, she will also be pointed at, Li Tiezhu doesn't want to ruin Xiangxing's reputation and force the Lin family to marry her?

"In addition to these, think about it again, does he have any token you left behind?"

Lin Xiangxing's head was about to hang down in front of her face, but she still shook her head, "That's not true, I also know that I can't teach each other privately, he suddenly came over yesterday, and I was kissed by him because I was defenseless." ”

Lin Xiaoman was relieved, "You remember, no matter what time it is, if his family makes a fuss about the two of you kissing, you can't admit it." ”

Lin Xiangxing's face turned white all of a sudden, "Brother Tiezhu won't do that, right?" ”

Lin Xiaoman sneered, "Then I don't know, it still depends on his performance." Invite the matchmaker tomorrow, right? I'll go to your house and stay with you. ”

Lin Xiangxing's originally uneasy heart became even more uneasy after listening to Lin Xiaoman's words and the attitude she showed, and she always felt that she seemed to have done something wrong.

In the evening, he ate the canned braised pork stewed beans that Lin Erhu had in mind, and simmered a pot of white rice.

Shen Guihua's mother and daughter also praised again and again, "Xiaoman, your cooking skills are better than your mother, no wonder you can open a restaurant in the city." ”

"It's not a restaurant, it's just a shop, Aunt Osmanthus, one day you and Xiangxing go to the city, don't eat outside to be full, I will invite you to eat hot pot chicken in the past."

"Cheng, I'll talk to you when I go to the city one day."

At a meal, except for Lin Xiangxing's worried face, the rest of the people ate with relish.

When he went back, Lin Xiaoman wanted to bring some oil residue back to Shen Guihua, but Shen Guihua refused, "We can't eat it when we bring it back, so if we want to eat it in the future, we will come to your house to eat." ”

Lin Xiaoman didn't let him go any more, he just wanted to have something suitable for the two of them to make a living, and they couldn't eat meat by themselves, but the closest people around him couldn't even drink soup.

When she got up early the next day, Lin Xiaoman didn't go to the city, and asked the handlebar to take away the things she was going to take to the city today, and she went to Lin Xiangxing's house after eating.

Lin Xiangxing's family is not too large, there is a grandmother on it, a widowed aunt in the middle with a six-year-old nephew and an unmarried uncle, Shen Guihua has a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter Lin Xiangxing is sixteen years old, and a fourteen-year-old son named Lin Wang, who was sent to the carpenter shop in the city as an apprentice.

When Lin Xiaoman arrived, he heard Grandma Xiangxing nagging in the yard, "Okay Fang family son, don't you, you have long eyes on the top of your head?" The Fang family gave a lot of dowry gifts, and when the time came, they could also marry a daughter-in-law for the third child. It's good for you to push the family affair, and see what kind of family you Lin Xiangxing can marry in the future. ”

Shen Guihua replied in the house, "I said that Fang Gongzi is not a good person, I heard that he was also infected with a dirty disease, how could he be a human milk and push his granddaughter into the fire pit?" ”

"How did you know that Fang Gongzi had a dirty disease? What do you see? You can't believe what others say. ”

Shen Guihua was so angry that her tone was rushed, "This is what you can say as a mother-in-law?" Fang Gongzi is not a man, and if he has that kind of disease, I can see it as a girl from a good family? Or my mother will go to the city to help take a look, and see if people will show you. ”
