That's because he has a daughter under his nose, so he will have some feelings for her, more or less.
If it were someone like Liu Dazhu, who had never raised a child before, his relationship would definitely be even thinner. This married girl might take this opportunity to bite a large amount of money and keep it for herself to eat and drink!
"I hope he's not that kind of person." Yang Ruoqing said.
"If he really dares to do that, it's impossible for the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt to agree. He can't influence the situation, and he can't influence the marriage."
Yang Ruoqing continued, although her tone was light, her attitude was very firm.
why?
Because Liu Dazhu was most afraid of his fat lady who weighed about 200 pounds.
And Yang Ruoqing had already bribed the fat lady with money. Otherwise, the fat lady would not have let Liu Dazhu come here to discuss the marriage.
Even, because she had money as motivation, the fat woman herself went to Jijia Village to deal with Liu Dazhu's brother and sister-in-law, who were Jin Chuan's uncle and aunt.
Wang Cuilian felt relieved when she heard that Yang Ruoqing was so confident.
"It's probably going to be hard to get married by the end of this year, right? The fastest it's going to be next year's Dragon Boat Festival, or around the Mid-Autumn Festival." Wang Cuilian analyzed again.
Because this is the case in eight villages in ten miles and eighty. From the engagement to the marriage, there are still a lot of etiquette to be done in between. The time before and after is nearly a year.
When I met someone like Yang Yongjin, because Xiuxiu was young when she got engaged, she wanted to stay with the family for two more years, so the man had to wait.
During the waiting period, the man will give gifts during every new year and festival.
I have to come over to help when the farming season is busy.
Of course, there are only a few like that. After all, the dowry prepared by Yang Yongjin for his daughter is very generous, so even if the man is made to wait an extra year or two, the man will not lose.
But in other families, it is different. Everyone must marry within a similar time limit.
"It doesn't matter when Liu Jinchuan gets married, as long as it happens, it's a good thing!" Yang Ruoqing said.
She had a feeling in her heart that the wedding shouldn't be too long.
why?
Because Liu Dazhu, the biological father, could not be counted on, and after all, Zhou and Lao Ji were Liu Jinchuan's aunt and uncle, and it was not easy for the niece to live in Ji's family for a long time.
As for Liu Jinchuan's uncle and aunt, it was simply a nightmare for Liu Jinchuan, a place where he could not return even if he was killed.
Therefore, the best place to stay is the fourth room of Lao Yang's house.
The wedding date will definitely not be too long, and Kang Xiaozi's wedding wine will soon be available.
There are two steamed dumplings, two flavors, all steamed in the pot.
Yang Ruoqing stuffed hard wood into the stove of the cauldron, and then it was almost as easy as cooking a stick of incense.
"Auntie, we have boiled a lot of hot water. You go and wash your hands and face, and rest for a while. You don't have to look after the kitchen." Yang Ruoqing felt sorry for Wang Cuilian who stood for so long rolling out dumpling wrappers, and later helped to make dumplings together. So I wanted her to go back to the house to rest.
Wang Cuilian lightly tapped her lower back and said, "Okay, I'll sit there for a while and then pick up the children."
…
Wang Cuilian went to pick up Tuan Yuanyuan, and took over Sun as well.
"Your mother was planning to wash rice and make porridge, but I stopped her. We have a lot of dumplings, so if you take a bite, you can rest early, right?"
In the kitchen, Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing were talking about how they went to pick up the children, and they talked about the Sun family.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Yes, my father accompanied his fourth uncle and aunt to the county town. My father doesn't eat dinner at night. My mother is the only one who can cook so much porridge without sticking to the pot."
The dumplings served at night originally included the Sun family, so there were enough dumplings for each person.
Yang Ruoqing also brought the vinegar pot to the table for them to eat with vinegar.
Anyway, Yang Ruoqing never gets jealous when eating dumplings.
In the main room, Mrs. Sun washed the hands of the two little guys and put a handkerchief around their necks.
Blacksmith Luo packed up the Eight Immortals table.
It's not completely dark outside yet
, but several lights have been lit in the main room, which is brightly illuminated.
The candlelight is of warm color and fills the main room. On such an early winter night, the family closes the door, eats hot dumplings, teases the children, and talks about common things. It feels like the days are passing slowly, like a trickling stream, and it is also very... Heartwarming.
On such a night, in Tianxiang Tower, the county seat dozens of miles away, Yang Yongjin also opened a separate table for the two parties discussing the marriage.
In a private room, the elders of both parties, as well as the parties involved, Kang Xiaozi and Liu Jinchuan, were present.
Everyone sat together, on the large rotating round table, all kinds of delicacies were served on the table like a lantern, which was dazzling, and the aroma of various dishes was even more fascinating.
"Come on, father-in-law, fill up the wine!" Yang Huaming was very happy, because the marriage between the two families was not only successfully negotiated, but also went smoothly beyond his expectations.
Throughout the whole process, Liu Dazhu was completely cooperative and not difficult at all. No matter what the old Yang family said, Liu Dazhu nodded, nodded, and nodded again!
Therefore, Yang Huaming is very satisfied with Liu Dazhu.
No, everyone is having a meal together tonight and will go back to the village tomorrow, so Yang Huaming is in a good mood and takes the initiative to stand up and pour wine for the female parent as the male parent.
Kang Xiaozi rarely eats with everyone, and will only take off his mask when he is in the fourth room of his house.
When eating with the old Yang family, he would hardly take off his mask.
Some people may say, how can you eat without taking off your mask?
Right, so many times he can't really eat with the big guys.
Just sit together for a while, and then find an excuse to leave. Liu or Yang Huaming will send him food later.
In the same way, he must attend such an occasion tonight.
As usual, he still wore a mask on his face and had no intention of taking it off.
And other people in Lao Yang's family are used to him doing this, so no one asks him to take it off to eat, because Yang Yongjin will bring him a bowl of food to his room later.
"Come on, come on, father-in-law, let's have a drink, let's go first!" Yang Huaming picked up the wine cup and touched Liu Dazhu's wine cup.
Mrs. Liu also greeted Mrs. Zhou: "Her aunt, we are a woman's family. We don't drink. We eat vegetables. Come on, come on. You can have a piece of this pork knuckle first!"
Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongjin were also chatting and laughing there, and together they persuaded Zhou and Liu Dazhu to eat vegetables and drink.
Kang Xiaozi and Liu Jinchuan were deliberately arranged to sit together.
Both young men and women lowered their heads.
Liu Jinchuan's face was a little red because he was shy.
At the same time, Liu Jinchuan was also nervous. Growing up, she only sat at the table when the family ate together when her mother was still alive.
Ever since her mother died and she and her brother were adopted by her uncle and aunt, she has never sat down to eat at the table.
They are all in the kitchen, in the woodshed, in the corner of the yard at the door...
