Chapter 34
Jiahui put the basket at the door, ran to the table and looked left and right happily, and finally chose a milky white rabbit toffee and ate it.
Just as she was about to eat another calcium milk biscuit, her hand reached the table, and her grandmother opened it.
"You starve to death and reincarnate! Eat so much, Xiao Ming will take it to your room and eat it slowly, don't put it outside and be emptied by mice. ”
Jiahui's mouth still exuded the sweet fragrance of the White Rabbit toffee, but there were layers of bitterness in her heart.
Zhou Wei took a pack of calcium milk biscuits to her daughter, and Gao Jiaming also grabbed a handful of lard candy for her sister before putting other snacks back in her room.
Seeing Jiahui eating biscuits, Jiahui's grandmother scolded again: "I didn't hear your mother say that you ate dumplings today!" If you don't hurry up and catch the dough, you will know how to eat and eat. ”
Jiahui hurriedly stuffed the biscuits into her mouth and chewed them, washed her hands, poured out the white noodles bought by her parents from the bag and began to add water and roll the dough.
Seeing her granddaughter enter the kitchen, Grandma Jiahui whispered: "What I just said, you should think about it." ”
Gao Yuan pulled his daughter-in-law into the house, "What do you think of what the daughter-in-law's mother said?" ”
Zhou Wei pursed her lips and stared at her husband and said, "You are tempted by the six hundred yuan!" ”
"If you don't feel impressed, that's a lot of money, no matter who comes to marry Jiahui in the future, they will have to pay a bride price, and besides, maybe it's not as much as this one."
Otherwise, you ask your mother to call someone to the house and let's take a look, you can't send Jiahui over in black and white! ”
"You're waiting for me to tell my mom."
Gao Yuan heard his son say that he wanted to look at each other, and knew that this matter had an eyebrow, so he hurriedly said Then you wait, I will let them come to the door in the next few days.
After three days, several strangers came to the Gao family, a boy and a girl and a boy about ten years old.
The boy's mother enthusiastically pulled her son and introduced: "This is my son Li Cheng, what about you girls!" Come out and I'll take a look. ”
Jiahui came out wearing the new clothes her mother bought, and was pulled by Li Cheng's mother to look left and right.
"It's a blessing to look at this round face and round nose."
Grandma Jiahui hurriedly said: "Not only is she good-looking, but she is also a good worker!" I can do all the work in the field at home, not to mention how diligent I am. ”
It's really strange, grandma will also have a day to praise me, and the sun hasn't risen in the west today!
In these years, the people in the village relied on farming to eat, but their son's legs and feet were not good, which was a disease brought about by beating his mother's womb.
was always bullied by those little ghosts in the village, Li Cheng's mother became more and more angry, and she wanted to marry a good daughter-in-law for her son, and then give birth to a few more big fat boys, and see who would dare to bully Li Cheng at that time.
It's a pity that in Buffalo Village and the surrounding areas, there are really few people who are willing to marry her family, so she asked the matchmaker to inquire elsewhere.
Mrs. Fang inquired for a while before telling her, "In your family's situation, it is a little difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, but if you are willing to pay more dowry, it may be okay." ”
"How much does that cost?"
"The more the merrier, anyway."
There is only a few dozen yuan at home, which is definitely not enough, unless you buy chickens, ducks, pigs and cows, you can make up enough money.
"Then go and see! If there is someone who sincerely marries his daughter, even if I buy all the livestock in the family, I will have more money. ”
After Jiahui's grandmother and her granddaughter quarreled, she hated her, and it happened that Fang Matchmaker had acquaintances in all ten miles and eight towns, so she asked them to help ask and look, the family that wants to marry a girl has a lot of dowry money!
The mother-in-law on Xiaogou Mountain was also warm-hearted, so she told her about it in the mountains, and Grandma Jiahui's heart was alive after hearing it.
immediately went to ask Aunt Zhou, who was the matchmaker and the messenger, about the specific situation, she was only ten years old and was about to marry her daughter-in-law, why was she in such a hurry. ”
Aunt Zhou said: "Some families don't wait until their children grow up to marry their daughters-in-law, some people take them back to raise them first, and then set up a banquet to officially get married when they are older." ”
Grandma Jiahui smiled and said, "That's a coincidence, my Jiahui is just ten and a half years old, you go and ask the matchmaker to look at each other." ”
"Since Grandma Gao said so, then I'll go find Lao Fang to take a look."
When Mrs. Fang came to Gao's house, she didn't alarm the little girl, but carefully observed the little girl, cooking, laundry, feeding chickens, and drying mountain goods, all in good order.
Mrs. Fang thought that the situation of the Li family was different, if she married someone who was too lazy to go back, it would not work, and people gritted their teeth and were willing to pay a high price for the bride price, so she naturally wanted more snacks.
