The cattle dealer and Xiang Sheng's uncle and nephew sent Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo across a tree, and then stood there and watched the sisters walk forward for a while. The uncle and nephew just turned around and headed towards Xiang Sheng. Go in the direction of Jia Zhuang.
When Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo had just entered the house and changed out of their shoes, it suddenly started raining heavily outside.
"Sister, you are such a good fortune teller. This pinch is really accurate. We have just entered the house!" Xiaoduo said excitedly, looking at the heavy rain outside.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Uncle Xiang and Sheng Nan should be home too!"
Xiaoduo said: "They are men and have fast feet. We are already home, so they must be about the same!"
Yang Ruoqing took a look at Xiaoduo and found that the girl had a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and two rosy clouds on her cheeks.
At first glance, it is the expression of a girl in love.
Yang Ruoqing smiled again and winked at Xiaoduo: "Duo'er, you're in a good mood. Well, it seems like our trip was not in vain, right?"
"That's..." Xiaoduo just blurted out, and suddenly realized something. Her face suddenly turned on fire, and she lightly stomped her feet, "Sister, you are so bad, you actually tried to trick me!"
Yang Ruoqing covered her mouth and smiled.
Duo'er wrinkled her nose together hard, "Sister, just make fun of me. I went to Xiangjiazhuang to visit Uncle Xiang, not to meet Brother Sheng!"
Yang Ruoqing lowered her hands and said innocently: "Although we rushed to Xiangjiazhuang without seeing Uncle Xiang's face, I didn't say that you went to Xiangjiazhuang to meet Xiang Shengnan!"
"You...are you asking for it?" she asked.
Xiaoduo was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands to cover his face, climbed onto the table and couldn't lift his head.
"Sister, you are so bad. If you are trying to trick others, isn't this a deliberate trap for others to take advantage of? I won't talk to you anymore, I really won't talk to you anymore."
Yang Ruoqing came to the table and raised her hand to gently press Xiaoduo's shoulder.
"Okay, okay, don't be shy. At worst, my sister can just make amends with you."
Xiaoduo raised her head and whispered: "Sister, I'm not angry, I'm just a little... embarrassed."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and sat down next to Xiaoduo.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? My sister is here. Before I got engaged to your brother-in-law, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at us. When we went to the entrance of the village for bathing, those aunties and sisters-in-law also liked to pick on us. Two jokes."
"I was embarrassed at first. Da'an, sometimes, the more embarrassed you are about certain things, the more interesting it will be for others to tease you,"
"If you face it calmly and generously, people won't tease you. But having said that, people tease you. In fact, most of the time, they don't have any malicious intent. They just think that you two are a good couple. It's interesting and reminds them of you. After reminiscing about their youth, maybe their youth did not have that kind of experience, so I want to get some comfort in the process of teasing you, just smile."
The blush on Xiaoduo's face gradually receded, and she regained her composure. She nodded, "Sister, you are right, I will be more generous in the future."
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and gently stroked Xiaoduo's hair: "You and Shengnan were hired by three matchmakers and six. We are fair and generous. This is how everyone comes here."
Xiao Duo curled her lips.
"By the way, sister, I suddenly remembered something. It was about Shengnan's brother Jinnan. On the way back, Shengnan was afraid that his brother's behavior might misunderstand us and feel that he was neglecting us, so he told me in private. Regarding his brother, I feel that his brother is actually quite pitiful." Xiaoduo said suddenly.
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Of course I have to listen, but since it's dinner time, let's go to the kitchen to get some food first, and we'll talk while we eat."
In the kitchen, the two sisters planned to have a simple meal. They cooked two bowls of noodles, grabbed two handfuls of green vegetables, cracked two poached eggs in, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and it was ready.
"Sister, Brother Shengnan told me that his brother used to be dull and didn't talk much, but he was quite reliable in doing things. At least he wouldn't be like this one, who would fall over while carrying a clay pot."
"His brother was injured because he rolled down the hillside. Since then, his hands and feet have not been as nimble as before and have become a bit clumsy." Xiaoduo said while eating.
Yang Ruoqing also picked up the noodles with chopsticks, blowing and eating them while listening carefully to Xiaoduo's next words.
"Brother Jin Nan was injured because he accidentally fell when he went to the mountains to help his mother-in-law's house in the spring of last year." Xiao Duo continued.
"Well, Jin Nan seems to have been related to each other before. This matter was mentioned casually when the cattle dealer came to our house to have dinner and drinks with our father and talked about his brother's family. I was I just heard it from the side." Yang Ruoqing also added.
"At that time, it seemed that the conditions of my mother-in-law's family on the other side of the mountain were not as good as those of the Xiang family." Yang Ruoqing added.
Xiaoduo nodded, "That's right. The conditions of that family are not good. They have many girls and few boys. They have to send a message to the Xiang family to ask Jin Nan to help with all the big and small things at home."
"Sometimes it's even more exaggerated. You have to call Katsuo's father and Katsuo. They only work but don't care about the food."
"How can you do this if you don't care about food? How can you have the energy to work for their family if you don't have enough food?" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but ask.
Xiaoduo twitched his lips and said, "Let the Xiang family, father and son and brothers prepare their own dry food!"
Yang Ruoqing didn't understand, "If you are so harsh, why are the brothers from the Xiang family still rushing to help and work hard?"
Xiaoduo snorted, "The woman said that she will help with labor work for three years before getting married, and there will be no half-penny betrothal gift when getting married."
"This marriage was arranged four years ago. At that time, the conditions of the Xiang family were worse than now. They didn't have enough to eat. Jin Nan also proposed several marriages, but they all fell through because the other party thought that the family was poor and could not afford the bride price."
"After procrastinating and procrastinating, I was already twenty-two at the time. I happened to meet a family that married the woman without asking for a bride price and helped her with the work for three years. The Xiang family thought it was a good thing."
"When I was in my third year of work, Brother Jin Nan rolled down the terraced fields on the hillside. He didn't have any serious injuries at the time. Everyone said it was the ancestors' blessing, otherwise he would have broken his arms and legs."
"But after the skin injury healed, he complained every day that he was feeling dizzy, and then he couldn't hold chopsticks, bowls, or carry things."
"I can't even help his mother with needlework. When I go to work at his father-in-law's house, my movements are very slow and clumsy. After I knocked over my father-in-law's tea bowl, my father-in-law was not happy and canceled the marriage!"
"Brother Jin Nan was completely shocked by this push. He became even more reticent and hid at home for a long time."
"When I went there, he was still helping my father-in-law, but it was the last time. Later, the road to my father-in-law's house was completely cut off, and I felt even more inferior..."
