So Zhang's mother said: "My mother-in-law feels sorry for her children, and so do we. Then it's up to you. I'll wait until I see what good days there will be after the autumn harvest, and we'll settle the matter like this."
The autumn harvest ends in mid-October of the lunar calendar. There are more than five months between May and October. If Zhang Chengrong and Da Ya are not compatible, these five more months are definitely enough.
After the matchmaker took the people away, Tian Baofen thanked her mother-in-law in the house. Who would have thought that her mother-in-law would actually give Da Ya a dowry of fifty yuan. This was really beyond the expectations of the couple!
"Okay, no need to say any kind words. You two will work hard from now on. After Da Ya's marriage is decided, we have to worry about Da Jiang's marriage. Three or two years will go by in a flash. We have to prepare the money for the bride price in advance. Hey , children are all debts, and you can’t do anything if you can’t do it.”
Du Guoxing and his wife quickly assured each other: "Mom, don't worry, we will work hard and earn full work points every day. I promise there will be no slackers."
Sometimes Zhang Damei is very happy that she gave birth to a few honest children, and sometimes she is very angry because they are so honest!
"Okay, let's go and take a rest. We'll get back to work later."
Du Guoxing and his wife left obediently.
Du Ermin has been with Zhang Damei for so many years, and he can tell what she is thinking at a glance, "Of the children in our family, it seems that only the old girl can save some worry. But being stupid has the advantage of being at your mercy. It saves worry. .”
Zhang Damei didn't know what he was thinking of, but the expression on his face changed, "Our family is worried, but the one in your eldest brother's family who is worried really pissed me off this time!"
Du Ermin knew that she was talking about the peach blossoms of the old man's family, and his face was a little ugly. He rolled up a dry cigarette and took two puffs. "Fortunately, she is looking for matchmaker Chen in the town. If she is like matchmaker Li, our daughter will definitely It will make her plan.
However, I still don't understand, what on earth did she do this? "
Zhang Damei said: "It's because I didn't want to understand this matter that I listened to my daughter and postponed Daya's marriage until October. If that kid does anything wrong, we can still regret it.
But I saw that the boy was pretty good, and I chatted with his mother for a while. She spoke very openly, and she was a little partial to the youngest son. I thought she wouldn't be offended if Daya married her. "
It turns out that Matchmaker Chen came back to the Du family for the first time to visit, ah, no, it was to inquire about the situation, and she stayed there for most of the day.
By accident, she heard about the discord between Du Lao and Du Lao's family from the mouths of several older ladies, and then learned about the quarrel between cousins Du Taohua and Du Ningyue when they met. Matchmaker Chen suddenly Thinking a little too much.
Why would one of two people who don't get along want to find a matchmaker to introduce a partner to the other?
And she also used the excuse that her cousin fell in love with the man first. If this didn't work out and she spread rumors again, Du Ningyue's reputation would definitely be affected.
Before leaving, she met Ning Yue and Da Ya. She was a very good judge of people. She always felt that Du Ning Yue had a special temperament that rural people did not have. It was inappropriate to stand with Zhang Chengrong.
Du Daya, on the other hand, looked a bit like a couple with Zhang Chengrong.
After returning home, she thought a little too much. Could it be that Zhang Chengrong had some problem that she didn't know about? The girl named Du Taohua found out about it, and then introduced it to her cousin so that she would suffer in the future?
So Matchmaker Chen inquired for a long time and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Chengrong, and then she felt relieved to connect the two families.
Of course, she did not hide this from Zhang Damei. She explained everything Du Taohua said at that time, and also said, "I think your daughter and Zhang Chengrong are not suitable, but your granddaughter and that boy are really compatible." They look so good as a couple. Based on my many years of experience as a matchmaker, if these two people get married, they will definitely be able to live together. If you have that intention, I will connect your two families."
Zhang Damei was very angry at the time, but for the sake of her granddaughter, she endured it and agreed to see each other.
Now that my granddaughter's marriage is settled, I don't know if Du Taohua will be furious if she finds out!
…
In the past few days, Ning Yue has been walking around the mountains. After filling her backpack, she goes home. Then she stays in the house and reads old newspapers. In the evening, after giving lectures to the children and assigning homework, she goes to the cowshed to study. Seven or eight days later, she finally read all these things and came to the conclusion that there is nothing safer than farming these days.
Ning Yue, who gave up her heart, refolded the newspaper and tied it and put it back on the cabinet. She simply packed up what she had harvested in the mountains in the past few days, then went into the city and sold the prey on the black market for seventeen or eighty yuan. dime.
Thinking of what Brother Liang said last time, it was time for those saplings to come back. By the way, she had to buy two tickets.
As a result, when she arrived at Brother Liang's place, a truck just passed her and drove into Brother Liang's yard.
Ning Yue thought: This is really Qiaoer's mother opening the door for Qiaoer, Qiaoer is home!
"Hey, sister, the saplings have just been brought back, and you're here before the car has stopped. Come on, hurry up, hurry up and take a look at the saplings you want."
Ning Yue felt a little happy, "Have you asked? How many kinds of saplings are there in total?"
"I haven't had time to ask yet. Anyway, everything is here. Oh, by the way, there are also a lot of seeds. Take a look."
Ning Yue was careful and opened the package and looked at it carefully. Each seed was packed in a separate paper bag with the name and quantity of the seeds written on it. She counted and found that there were 143 small packages here. Brother Liang also asked about the number of saplings on the table, "There are 107 kinds of saplings in total. I bought more of the saplings you specially ordered."
Ning Yue nodded, "Brother Liang's people are doing things well, so let's settle the expenses first."
Brother Liang had no objection, and the two entered the living room again.
"My brother also said that most of these things are not troublesome to find, just two extra trips, but some of them are really troublesome, especially these saplings. It takes a lot of time to transport them back from the south. Something’s wrong with my nose.”
Ning Yue nodded without speaking, and Brother Liang finally quoted a price.
Ning Yue paid the bill directly with gold bars. She had no choice but to do so. She didn't have much cash in her hand now, and she also took out two more yuan. "Just in time, Brother Liang, give me another bicycle ticket and a meter ticket. I want to buy a bicycle." It’s easier to travel around the county town by bicycle. I’ll convert the rest into cash.”
Brother Liang likes her willingness to give money happily, and he has never been a talkative person. If the brothers make money, he can also get some benefits. He found a bicycle ticket and a She paid the bill, and then converted the remaining money into cash and gave it to Ning Yue.
I wrote the gold price earlier as 25 yuan per gram, but I made a mistake and changed it to 7.5 yuan per gram.
