Chapter 82: Marriage
It rained heavily for another three days, and it was not until the early morning of the fourth day that a beautiful day was finally ushered in.
After the rain, Sanchi Village is exceptionally clean and clear, and after the rain washes the earth, the greenery is thicker, and it is shining with crystalline light.
Drops of water dripped from the eaves, smashing a row of puddles of various sizes on the ground at the doorway.
The brunette stood in the doorway, looking out at the distant mountains. Behind her, Mu Pozi was standing by the pot and baking cakes, still talking about the dealers in the field.
"Hey, you can count on those two acres of dry land this year, and it looks like autumn is about to begin, so don't rain anymore. ”
The black girl turned her head, squatted down and helped the old lady fill a piece of wood into the stove.
"Mother, my relationship with papaya will be settled today! Let's ask the village chief to help witness it." ”
Mu Pozi held the hand of the spatula for a moment, looked at the black girl seriously, and asked, "Have you really thought about it?" This is not a joke, you know the papaya......
The black girl quickly stopped the old lady's words and said firmly: "I have already thought about it." ”
Seeing that the multigrain cakes in the pot began to smoke, Mu Pozi hurriedly flipped them over one by one, and there was some resentment in her voice.
Okay, since you are willing, my mother won't say anything more, I hope you can all be fine in the future. ”
After the black girl smiled slightly, she lowered her head and changed her face, as if she was worried about something.
At the breakfast table, everyone looked preoccupied.
Chu Sen has always been anxious in the past two days, Chu Mu's letter has been received for a few days, but he has not seen anyone yet. He was afraid of any accidents, so he was always struggling, whether to simply knock the master unconscious and resist directly.
Chu Sen was thinking about whether this plan was feasible, but he heard the black girl suddenly say a word, and he was almost choked to death in fright.
"Papaya, let's settle our family affairs today!"
"Ahem......"
Chu Sen was so red that he wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but he kept coughing and shuddering, and he couldn't say a complete sentence at all.
"Good. ”
Seeing that the papaya took a bite and agreed, the black girl smiled slightly, the wooden woman smiled with satisfaction, and Chu Sen's bruised face was a little ugly.
"We don't pay so much attention to it, just find two people to be a witness. It just so happens that Gongzi Chu is here, so he can be a witness for us, and then invite the village chief to have a meal together. ”
Papaya listened carefully to the black girl, and he nodded along with whatever she said.
Mu Pozi smiled happily when she heard this, and began to count the process of getting married. If you want to be more formal, you have to write a marriage book, exchange tokens, and when the black girl reaches her age, the two can officially get married.
When it came to writing a marriage book, Mu Pozi began to worry, there are not many literate people in Sanji Village, and there are almost no people who know some marriage books.
"Mother, have you forgotten that Chu Gongzi is not here? Chu Gongzi must be literate!"
Chu Sen was thinking of a way to drag this matter on for another two days, but before he could come up with a solution, he was named by the black girl.
"Huh?"
As soon as Mu Pozi slapped the table, she was happy at the moment.
"Then this matter will trouble Master Chu. ”
Chu Sen was stunned for a moment, looking at Mu Pozi's expectant gaze, he could only reluctantly nod and force out a smile.
"But I don't have a pen and paper......!
"It's okay, I've already prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”
The black girl's words immediately dispelled Chu Sen's hard way to come up with an excuse to refuse.
In such a remote mountain village, there are no literate people in the family, but there are such things as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which are not just ears for the deaf, just decorations.
Obviously, this black woman was prepared.
After breakfast, the black girl took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and placed it on the table upright, although they were all defective goods, there was no problem at all in writing a marriage letter.
Chu Sen stared at the four treasures of the study for a long time, and under the urging of the black girl, he could only pick up the pen and dip it in ink.
Just after putting down the pen, his face suddenly stiffened, so he raised his head in embarrassment.
"I haven't written a marriage letter, so I don't know how to write it?"
The black girl pushed the papaya and said, "You go and call the village chief, the village chief must know." ”
Chu Sen's face froze, knowing that today's matter might not be stirred up, and his heart was full of worries.
Papaya was also happy, and soon invited the village chief.
When the village chief came, he didn't know what it was, but when Mu Pozi told the black girl and papaya about marrying, the village chief was stunned for a moment, and he was the first to stand up against it.
"No, black chick and papaya can't get married. ”
Mu Pozi and the black girl looked puzzled, and Papaya's black face was cold at that time. When Chu Sen heard this, he almost jumped up happily, it was just a turn of the peak!
"Why is that?"
Mu Pozi didn't understand why the village chief didn't agree, so she asked.
Men marrying women is the words of the parents, and even the village chief has no right to interfere in the marriage of other people's children.
As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. The village chief looked at the black girl and the papaya left and right, and felt that these two were really a match made in heaven, but what about Lin Zhutou?
"Mu Pozi, you go out with me to talk. ”
Mu Pozi glanced at the black girl and the papaya, and then followed the village chief out of his yard. Standing outside the gate, the two of them muttered for a long time, because they were far away, so even Papaya and Chu Sen, who had deep internal strength, couldn't hear what they were saying.
The black girl deliberately cast a small spell before she heard the conversation between the village chief and Mu Pozi.
It turned out that the village chief had always misunderstood the relationship between the black girl and Lin Zhutou, and he was even more happy to see it, so he was persuading Mu Pozi to think about it again. In the eyes of the village chief, although Papaya is an honest man with craftsmanship and a nephew of Mu Pozi, no one has a status and a future, right?
Mu Pozi was taken aback when she heard this, and quickly explained to the village chief.
Misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding, there is nothing to do between the black girl and Lin Zhutou, and her daughter and her nephew have long had the idea of marrying.
In the end, the village chief saw Mu Pozi's firm and affirmative appearance, and after hesitating for a long time, he could only recognize the reality. However, the relationship between the black girl and Lin Zhutou, even if it is not the kind he thinks, but the village chief thinks that it will definitely not be ordinary.
In the end, the village chief was still unwilling to give up the black girl like this, although he stayed to be a black girl and papaya as a witness, but he always put on a regretful look.
With both witnesses reluctant and reluctant, the black girl and papaya wrote the marriage letter and pressed their handprints.
When pressing the mudra, there was also a small episode.
Chu Sen was still unwilling to accept his master's flower, so he stuck it in a pile of dung, so he came up with a bad idea.
"The marriage certificate is more formal than the signature, and I can help you write your name directly. ”
But I thought in my heart, anyway, the current master's name is papaya, and when the master recovers his memory and becomes the king of war in Nanchu, who knows who this papaya is?
