Back in the village, the sun had already set.

When Jiang Nian entered the house, Jiang Dashan and Wang Hong looked at the empty basket on the donkey cart, and were stunned, and the second aunt, who had been at home, also tilted her head and kept looking into the car.

"My goodness, so many mushrooms have been sold? How much does that have to sell for? The second aunt's tone was full of envy, and she seemed to have something in her heart.

"Hey, I didn't sell for much money, so it's only sixty or seventy yuan." Jiang Nian replied casually.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

Just selling mushrooms sold for sixty or seventy yuan, and he also sold hazelnuts, and what kind of spicy potato pieces did he sell, but there was nothing left in the car, how much did he have to sell that day?

The second aunt didn't dare to think about it at all.

I used to know that Jiang Nian set up a stall to make money, but I didn't expect to make so much money, and the money I made on this day was several times more than others who worked hard in the factory for a month, and this is still it?

"Xiao Nian, setting up a stall is so profitable, do you think the second aunt is going out to set up a stall?"

Hearing the words of the second aunt, the second uncle on the side suddenly couldn't hold back and laughed: "You? When you see people, you scratch your cheeks and eyes, and when you go out, you can talk when you go out, and you can still stand that anger when you go out with your mouth and loud voice? You can stop working at home, I earn a lot a month, and it is not a problem for you to eat and drink, so don't go out and be embarrassed. ”

As soon as she heard this, the second aunt was suddenly unhappy.

"Why am I embarrassed? The more you think I can't do it, the more I'll have to give it a try. The second aunt suddenly became stubborn, and once she came up with this strength, the eight horses couldn't pull it back.

At the beginning of the year, when planting and sowing, Li Er's family was used to pull the plough from the ox, and the second aunt saw that the cattle of other people were obedient, and they had to pull it themselves, and others didn't listen to anything.

However, she can't do anything for a long time, she is hot for three minutes, and she retreats when she encounters some setbacks, so when she heard that she was going out to set up a stall to sell things, Jiang Nian didn't have any waves in her heart.

"Mom, Lin Guan's mother almost doesn't make shoes, so there are no shoe samples, I cut a few samples of waste newspaper to Lin Guan's feet, can you see if you can use them?" As he spoke, Jiang Nian took out the cut newspaper from his arms and handed it over.

Wang Hong took it and looked at it a few times, and nodded again and again, "Well, it can be used, looking at the strange and delicate feet of Lin Guan, it is not like the girls in our peasant family, whose feet are big and wide." ”

When he was on it, Jiang Nian sat on the kang and carefully counted the money he had now.

"A total of 561 yuan and 6 cents, the bride price is enough!"

Seeing that Jiang Nian was making so much money, Wang Hongle couldn't close his mouth, and said while taking his shoes: "Your five hundred, I have been scraping together for the past few days, and I have borrowed three hundred, which is exactly eight hundred, an auspicious number." ”

Wang Hong was happy in her heart.

Now take the bride price of 800, and when the time comes, people will return 1,060 dowry, and the daughter-in-law will empty the family, and her daughter-in-law will still make money, how can it be reasonable?

"Mom, the bride price of 500 is enough, you should return the 300, let's marry a daughter-in-law and make money, and make people laugh when you say it." Jiang Nian said with a smile, and wrapped the counted five hundred yuan in newspaper in a regular manner.

"Who's laughing? I can't find a second one in ten miles and eight towns, this is called ability, and it's too late for them to envy! Mother Wang Hong pursed her lips, not at all impressed: "You don't know that when I told the old lady about this that day, the old lady's face was the same as a frosted eggplant, which was called an ugly one." ”

Jiang Dashan, who was sitting on the bench, heard this, immediately frowned, dragged the cigarette stick with one hand, spit out the cigarette, and said in a deep voice: "The child is right, Lin Wan's baby married to our family, and she has already wronged others, let's still think about other people's dowry, is that still like words?" It's just five hundred, five hundred is a lot, which can show that our family attaches great importance to Lin Guan's girl. ”

"As for the 300 yuan, don't return it, you have to hold a ceremony for your relatives, and you need money to hold a banquet when you get married, we have to make the wedding lively and lively, so as to be worthy of others."

As soon as she heard the words of the two of them, Wang Hong suddenly didn't know what to say.

But after thinking about it, isn't it the same way that I am now thinking about how to make the Lin family pay more dowry, and when I marry my daughter with Wang Lan, I wonder if my family will get more dowry?

Thinking of this, she was immediately relieved.

Now that my son can make so much money, 1,800 yuan is a matter of more than ten days.

"Look at me, I'm like the old princess, and I've got into the eyes of money." Mother Wang Hong figured it out, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Okay, just according to what your grandfather said, the bride price is five hundred, and we will keep the rest of the money for the banquet."

Seeing that her mother Wang Hong agreed, Jiang Nian and Jiang Dashan suddenly looked good.

Mother Wang Hong is sometimes confused, but she is reasonable, never ambiguous in the face of major rights and wrongs, and can listen to persuasion.

Overall just a very lovely person.

Jiang Dashan said while filling his pipe with tobacco leaves: "Seeing that the day of the marriage proposal is approaching, in addition to the bride price, we must also prepare things to anger him, tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar are indispensable, and we can't make people think that we are rude." ”

"Yes, you have to pull a list, and you will buy it all back after you come out of the stall tomorrow." Mother Wang Hong hurriedly said.

"Okay!"

Then, Jiang Dashan said to his mother-in-law: "I still have to study the people who go to propose marriage, our old Zhang family should at least go to a respected elder, bring some eggs tomorrow, and the two of us will go to the third uncle's trip, he has hard legs and feet, and he also likes to be lively, and he is a scene of people who talk and do things." ”

"Okay!"

Mother Wang Hong replied with a smile.

When it came to the person who proposed marriage, Wang Hong suddenly thought of another thing, and hurriedly said: "Speaking of the person who came to propose marriage, I also thought of a question, the two children are in free love, this door-to-door proposal is according to our customs here, there is no matchmaker, what can I do?" ”

This question stumped Jiang Dashan all of a sudden.

Jiang Nian and Lin Guan are in free love, there is no matchmaker at all, where can they find someone now?

"His second aunt, do you think it's okay?" Seeing that Jiang Dashan didn't speak, his mother Wang Hong asked with an idea.

"Don't!" When Jiang Nian heard this, he immediately objected.

"The second aunt is a person who can speak well, but she also has a lot of eyes, so don't make any trouble."

As soon as she heard Jiang Nian's words, her mother Wang suddenly looked sad, and she couldn't think of a suitable person for a while. In this era, people's thinking is still relatively feudal, and the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders must not be erranded.

"Or, let Aunt Lin Guan be this matchmaker?" After thinking about it and thinking about it, Jiang Nian's eyes suddenly lit up and he proposed.

"I'll see it!"

As soon as they heard Jiang Nian's words, Wang Hong and Jiang Dashan's eyes lit up and agreed.

Lin Qinghua usually likes to introduce marriages to people, and the marriage between Hu Qingniu and Hao Hao Qinghua in the village was introduced by her, and she has some experience in this area, and she is Lin Guan's aunt, and the marriage introduced by this relative is more reliable.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow and discuss it with her."
