Chapter Ninety-Six: I Want to Marry Xiaoying
At this time, most of the Qi family went up and down the mountain, only the old man Qi and the third Qi were there, and the two of them were drinking coarse tea, discussing the matter of the Zhang family coming to ask their relatives in front of them.
Then there were a bunch of children, Qi Xiaoying was fetching water by the well, and carrying buckets and buckets to fill the big water tank.
As soon as Meng Li entered the yard, he gave the snacks to the children to eat, and the children happily gathered around and called Sister Meng Li one by one, which was very sweet.
Qi Xiaoying looked at Meng Ning, who was carrying a big basket, and already understood a little.
Her heart pounded, her face flushed with shyness, and her eyes were misty.
It was as if there was a hand that soothed her restless and anxious heart.
"Come in and sit down." Qi Xiaoying said as she entered the hall with a stool, her voice trembling a little.
Meng Ning glanced at Qi Xiaoying, her appearance made him feel pity, and he was reluctant to look away.
Old Man Qi and Old Man Qi also came out, and seeing the formation of the second room of the Meng family, they naturally knew what they were doing.
It's just that they didn't expect that the second room of the Meng family had prepared so many and such good things.
When the Zhang family came earlier, they only brought three catties of brown rice, one catty of thick noodles, and a piece of pork belly that was almost all fat.
This contrast is really stark, not to mention whether the Zhang family has the confidence to do so, at least the second room of the Meng family attaches great importance to it.
"Grandpa Qi, Third Uncle Qi, I'm really embarrassed to disturb you." Meng Ning said apologetically.
"What is this saying, in a village, everyone just needs to move around more, so that people can be lively." Old Man Qi said happily.
"You two are coming, bringing so many good things, we can't afford such hospitality."
"Grandpa Qi, you're welcome, this is a little bit of our mind in the second room of the Meng family, you can taste this tea, it's very different from what you usually drink."
Meng Wu said as he took out a box of Pu'er tea.
Not only did they send good tea, but they also sent a set of special tea sets, blue and white porcelain.
It happened that there was hot water on the table, Meng Ning dismantled the tea set, brewed the tea, and then sent it to Old Man Qi and Third Uncle Qi with both hands.
Master Qi and Third Uncle Qi smelled the fragrance of the tea brewing and slowly seeping out, and then looked at the color of this tea, they already knew that it was extraordinary, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.
When it was almost ready, I took a sip of it, both of them had a bright eye, the taste was never more comfortable, the fragrance was not only between the lips and teeth, but also in the soul, and suddenly there was a feeling that I was not worthy of drinking this kind of tea.
"This tea, there is such a delicious tea in the world, oops." Old Man Qi said in disbelief.
His old man was able to drink such a sip, and he felt that it was worth it in his life.
"Yes, Grandpa Qi, we have a lot of them at home, send some over, you want to drink in the future, you can have them at any time." Meng Li said with a smile.
Third Uncle Qi pondered, such a good thing, the second room of the Meng family was brought casually, and it was worthy of a family who wanted to build a big yard.
Since Lu Mu entered the second room of the Meng family as a father-in-law, Meng Li woke up, the second room of the Mengjia family has been very different, and I am afraid it will be better in the future.
"You've come here today with so many good things, so let's talk about what you think."
There are no elders in the second room of the Meng family, and all the children who come are children, so Uncle Qi's third voice is gentle.
He glanced at Meng Wu with some deep meaning, this child was born tall and mighty, and he was upright, and he liked it very much in his eyes.
Qi Xiaoying put a wooden barrel into the well outside, slowed down, and listened to the situation in the hall with her ears pricked up.
Meng Ning was a little restrained, and subconsciously glanced at the eldest brother and sister, but received encouraging glances from the two.
He plucked up his courage: "Grandpa Qi, Third Uncle Qi, I want to marry Xiaoying." ”
It turned out to be Meng Ning, Old Man Li and his third child were a little surprised, they thought that it was Meng Wu who asked for their relatives, after all, Meng Wu was a little older.
Qi Laosan said: "Ning Yanzi, are you going to ask our family Xiaoying?" ”
"It's me, Third Uncle Qi, what's wrong." Meng Ning was suddenly a little nervous, was there anything the Qi family was dissatisfied with him.
Old Man Qi laughed: "A small misunderstanding, your eldest brother is older than you, and I thought it was your eldest brother, but you are also a good offspring, you came to ask for relatives, our family is very happy." ”
In comparison, Meng Ning has a softer temperament, although he was born in the countryside, he has an indescribable elegance.
Only then did Meng Wu think, yes, he was the eldest son, and others must naturally think of him, and they were embarrassed to scratch their heads.
"Grandpa Qi, Third Uncle Qi, my second brother has wanted to come for a long time, but our family was poor before, and I was afraid that we couldn't bring Xiaoying a good life, so the second brother hid this thought, and now the family has improved, and our second room of the Meng family is confident that it can make Xiaoying live comfortably in the future."
"My second brother is here with sincerity, as long as you are willing, he will definitely treat Xiaoying well and will not let you down."
Meng Ning also nodded: "Well, Grandpa Qi, Uncle Qi, I'm sincere, I, I'm not old enough to ask for kisses, just find a girl with a similar family, I have long been in my heart for Xiaoying, after getting married, I will cherish her more and put her in the palm of my hand." ”
Meng Li snickered in her heart, listening to the words of the second brother, he was a person who could talk about love.
When I get married, I'm afraid I'll come casually.
Qi Xiaoying pretended to put something on the windowsill, and heard all the words inside in her ears, she bit her lip lightly, her heart was excited, and the things in her hand were not put on for a long time.
How she wished that her family would agree now, so that nothing would go wrong in the future.
Looking at this sincere young man, Old Man Qi and Old Man Qi felt a little satisfied in their hearts.
However, Qi Laosan's face was still a little serious: "We see your sincerity, but before you came to ask for relatives, the Zhang family also came." ”
Meng Ning couldn't help but get nervous again, and brought the teacup to his mouth, but after all, he was not in the mood to drink it, and put it down uneasily.
It stands to reason that someone had asked Qi Xiaoying before, but the Qi family specifically mentioned the Zhang family, I am afraid that it means something about the Zhang family.
Meng Li asked, "Zhang family?" Which son asked Xiaoying. ”
"It's Zhang Youcai, who only won the show last year." Old man Zhang said.
The people in the second room suddenly understood, and the Qi family attached more importance to Zhang Youcai's identity.
If Zhang Youcai is promoted, he will be able to become an official, marry his daughter, and become an official's wife in the future, thus driving a family of chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.
This is a huge temptation for any farmer's family.
Meng pinched the corners of his clothes, a little sweat appeared on his forehead, he knew that at this time, no matter how he swore that Qi Xiaoying was good, he looked a little pale and weak.
Meng Li was also silent, she knew that the ancients were obsessed with being an official, Shinong Industry and Commerce, even if the second room made a fortune, but it was not as good as a talent who might be an official.
Unless, get rich to a certain extent, but now she can't reach it.
The atmosphere in the room was silent all of a sudden, Meng Li frowned, his fingers slowly pointed at his knees, Meng Wu and Meng Ning were uncomfortable, especially Meng Ning, at a loss.
