Chapter 213 It’s a happy event
The snow-falling mountain village does not need to be dyed with ink, it is a poetic picture.
In the past, the naughty children who were greedy for bed didn't need to call their parents early in the morning, so they couldn't wait to put on their cotton clothes, howl and call their friends and go out to play in the snow. The white snow was covered with small footprints, and for a while, the naughty child, who was flushed with cold, made a piece of white scroll look like a dog gnawing on a pig.
There was even a naughty kid who shook the tree violently while his friend was under the tree and ran away with a roar. He laughed so hard when he saw his friend being smashed into an old man by the falling snow. Damn it. Then, he was knocked over on the snow by his friends in revenge, rolling into a ball, and laughing everywhere.
When the smoke rose, the naughty children were pulled home by their ears by their furious mothers.
"Dad, why don't you go there today?" When her mother, Mrs. Chen, was having breakfast, she looked at the falling snowflakes outside the door and said to Zhu's father who was immersed in eating.
Hearing this, Father Zhu raised his head from the bowl and glanced outside the door. He smacked his lips, swallowed the rice porridge, wiped his mouth carelessly and said, "How about that? Yesterday I also promised Mrs. Zhao from Shanghe Village to take her to the town to visit relatives. On this snowy day, I don’t know how many people are pointing at our oxcart.” Mother Chen said angrily.
After a while, mother Chen put down her chopsticks and looked outside for a while, "The snow was getting heavier and heavier, so the boss took two cakes and went to clear the snow for Juan'er's house. I don’t know how to go after a bowl of hot soup.”
While eating, Father Zhu said, “Juan’er’s family will heat the soup for the boss, so don’t worry about it. Juan’er’s family is very interested in the boss now. ”
"What do you know? Her family would be as willing to cook the porridge as delicious as ours, but they don't feel sorry for the firewood." Mother Chen choked Father Zhu, saying that her eldest son went out early in the morning to bring cakes to his future father-in-law's house. Sweeping snow is a bit embarrassing.
"I still don't understand you, you're just jealous, okay, the boss has cleared the snow from our house before going out." Zhu's father said and picked up another piece of cake and started eating it .
"Who is jealous? I feel sorry for the boss." Chen's face turned slightly red when he heard this, but her mouth was hard, and then she changed the topic, "Speaking of the boss, I think about the second child again. , how long has it been, Why haven't you received a letter yet?"
"I'll be back soon. Shi'er will go on a long trip again and again. If you can take care of yourself, just put your mind at ease." Father Zhu let it go. She comforted Chen with the cake in her hand.
"If the second child doesn't come back for a day, I can't let go of my heart for a day. Oh, I almost forgot, when I mentioned the pig, I remembered it. Didn't I go to town with the boss yesterday? Guess what happened to me? Who is it?" Mrs. Chen bumped Zhu's father with her arm and asked with bright eyes.
When Father Zhu heard this, he almost choked on a mouthful of cake. How could he have guessed this? !
“Er Gouzi’s mother?” Father Zhu said a name tentatively.
"Qi, I know you can't guess. I met the daughter of the rich man Li of Shanghe Village. She is the little girl who came to play with She'er several times when she was a child. Her appearance was very attractive when she was a child. , now I look like a fairy in the sky, so beautiful that no girl in the village can compare to me. She can recognize me from afar. My aunt is taller than my aunt, and she is well-educated and sensible. Yes, she is a kind-hearted person. She went to town to burn incense and pray for her father. He is a filial person. As soon as I started selling things, many people praised me. I think many people wanted to marry her back. As for the daughter-in-law, what do you think, if we marry the second child as a wife?"
Ms. Chen looked at Father Zhu warmly. This idea has been on her mind since she met Li Shu yesterday. It feels like it has taken root in my heart.
Hearing this, Father Zhu shook his head.
"Hey, isn't there something wrong with this girl?" Mrs. Chen asked with a look of pity on her face.
"What are you talking about." Father Zhu put down the cake in his hand and said to Mrs. Chen, "The girl is fine."
"Okay, then what are you shaking your head for? Don't. Seeing as Erxiao and Shu'er are both young now, they have to decide early. Many people are thinking that if they are too late, they will be snatched away. "Ms. Chen was a little anxious.
“The girls from the Li family are nice, but they probably don’t like our family. I heard people say that the old Li family is not simple. "Husband." Zhu's father shook his head and said.
"How old is it?" Ms. Chen was a little unconvinced and very proud of her son, "My son is a scholar, so why is he not worthy of their family? My son is married to a princess."< br>
"I don't know how old I am, but I'm not young anyway. I heard that the county magistrate is very polite to others when he meets them. He has seen many talented people, so it would be great if we married a farmer's girl." Father Zhu shook his head and couldn't explain clearly. How old is the Li family? Anyway, over the years I have heard people say that the old Li family is very big.
"The villagers' family? How about that? Yesterday I met the girl from the Li family, and I felt that the little girl from the villagers' family is incomparable to others." Ms. Chen shook her head, "Besides, I guess the second child "I don't think so."
"It would be great if Xie'er wins, then the old Li family will have nothing to say," Mrs. Chen asked with some hope.
"Winning the exam is not about growing crops. You just hit the mark." Father Zhu curled his lips.
“Oh, by the way, yesterday I talked about Shi’er with the girl from the Li family. The girl from the Li family even called her brother Ping’an. I thought it was funny. Oh, by the way, the girl from the Li family also He also said that maybe Xie'er would come back from the exam this time." Chen took a few mouthfuls of rice and started talking again.
"I'm trying to coax you." Father Zhu curled his lips.
At this moment, I heard the crackling of firecrackers outside. The sound was very loud. It seemed that the firecrackers were the thick ones that the village was reluctant to buy.
"Whose family is having a happy event? Why haven't you heard about it? Are you marrying a wife or a daughter?" Ms. Chen stretched her neck and looked out the door, curious and confused. "The day before yesterday, I was talking to his aunts when they were picking up shoe soles, and I didn't hear them say anyone had a happy event?"
Zhu's father was also a little confused. According to the village's custom, regardless of weddings or funerals, the neighbors in the village They all had to help out, but no one told me, and there was no one in the village that I didn’t talk to.
Then there was a sound like a pot was exploding outside the village. There was a clanging sound, the sound of many people talking, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
Curiosity
Father Zhu and Mrs. Chen were very curious.
Then soon, I heard footsteps outside the door, the door of my house was banged, and there were a lot of people talking.
"Brother, hurry up and open the door. It's a big happy event. There's a big happy event coming."
"Second aunt, hurry up and open the door. There's a happy event coming."
"Hurry up and get ready. Everyone from the county has arrived at the entrance of the village."
Before Mrs. Chen and Father Zhu could react, the door was pushed open forcefully, and then a lot of people came in. There were many people from the neighborhood, uncles and aunts, and it was very lively. (End of this chapter)
