At this time, most of the Qi family members had gone to the mountains and fields. Only Mr. Qi and Mr. Qi were there. The two of them were drinking rough tea and discussing the matter of the Zhang family coming to ask for their marriage.
Then there are a bunch of children. Qi Xiaoying is fetching water from the well, carrying bucket after bucket to fill the big water tank.
As soon as Meng Li entered the yard, she gave snacks to the children. The children gathered around happily and called Sister Meng Li one by one, which was very sweet.
Qi Xiaoying looked at Meng Ning, who was carrying a large backpack, and already understood a little bit.
Her heart was beating fast, her face flushed shyly, and her eyes suddenly became misty.
It was as if there was a hand that soothed her restless and anxious heart.
"Come in and sit in the main room." Qi Xiaoying said, her voice trembling as she entered the main room with a stool.
Meng Ning glanced at Qi Xiaoying. Her appearance made him feel pity for her and he couldn't bear to look away.
Mr. Qi and Mr. Qi also came out. Seeing the second room of the Meng family in such a formation, they naturally knew what they were doing.
But they didn't expect that the second room of the Meng family had prepared so many good things.
When the Zhang family came earlier, they only brought three kilograms of brown rice, one kilogram of thick noodles, and a piece of pork belly that was almost all fat.
This contrast is really stark. Regardless of whether the Zhang family has the confidence to do this, at least the second wife of the Meng family attaches great importance to it.
"Grandpa Qi, Third Uncle Qi, I'm sorry to disturb you." Meng Ning said apologetically.
"What do you mean? In a village, everyone should move around more, so that people can be more friendly." Mr. Qi said cheerfully.
"Just come here, you two. Bring so many good things and such hospitality. I'm afraid we can't bear it."
"Grandpa Qi, you're welcome. This is the sentiment of our second roommate of the Meng family. Try this tea. It will be very different from what you usually drink."
Meng Wu said as he took out a box of Pu'er tea.
Not only was he sent good tea, but he was also given a special set of tea sets, made of blue and white porcelain.
There happened to be hot water on the table. Meng Ning opened the tea set, brewed the tea, and then put his hands in front of Mr. Qi and Uncle Qi.
Mr. Qi and Uncle Qi smelled the aroma slowly seeping out after the tea leaves were brewed, and then looked at the quality of the tea. They knew it was extraordinary and couldn't help but look forward to it.
When it was almost ready, I picked it up and took a sip. Both of their eyes lit up. The taste was more comfortable than ever before. The fragrance was not only in the lips and teeth, but also in the soul. Suddenly there was a feeling that was not worthy of drinking this kind of tea. a feeling of.
"This tea, there is such a delicious tea in the world, oh my." Mr. Qi said in disbelief.
If the old man could take such a sip, his life would be worth it.
"Yes, Grandpa Qi. We still have a lot at home. Send some here. If you want to drink it in the future, you can have it at any time." Meng Li said with a smile.
Third Uncle Qi thought to himself, the second room of the Meng family had such a good thing, and it was worthy of being built by a family that wanted to build a big yard.
Ever since Lu Mu entered the Meng family's second room as husband-in-law and Meng Li woke up, the Meng family's second room has been completely different, and I'm afraid it will be even better in the future.
"You have brought so many good things here today. If you have any ideas, just tell me."
There are no elders in the second room of the Meng family, and all the people here are children, so Uncle Qi's tone is gentle.
He glanced at Meng Wu with some deep meaning. He was tall, mighty and upright, and he liked him at first sight.
Qi Xiaoying put the barrel into the well outside, slowed down, and listened to what was going on in the main room.
Meng Ning was a little cautious and subconsciously glanced at his elder brother and sister, but received encouraging looks from the two of them.
He mustered up his courage: "Grandpa Qi, Third Uncle Qi, I want to marry Xiaoying."
It turned out to be Meng Ning. Old Li and his third son were a little surprised. They thought it was Meng Wu who was asking for marriage. After all, Meng Wu was a little older.
Qi Laosan said: "Ning Yazi, are you going to ask our Xiaoying?"
"It's me, Uncle Qi, what's wrong?" Meng Ning suddenly became a little nervous again, wondering if the Qi family was dissatisfied with him in some way.
Mr. Qi laughed: "It's a small misunderstanding. Your eldest brother is older than you, so I thought he was your eldest brother. But you are also a good young man. Our family is very happy that you came to ask for your marriage."
In comparison, Meng Ning has a softer temperament. Although he comes from a rural background, he has an indescribable elegance.
Meng Wu then thought, yes, he is the eldest son, others must naturally think of him, and they are embarrassed to scratch their heads.
"Grandpa Qi, Third Uncle Qi, my second brother has wanted to come here for a long time. It's just that our family was poor before and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to give Xiaoying a good life, so the second brother hid his thoughts. Now that the family has improved, we, the second bedroom of the Meng family, I am confident that I can make Xiaoying live a comfortable life in the future."
"My second brother comes with sincerity. As long as you are willing, he will treat Xiaoying well and will not let you down."
Meng Ning also nodded: "Well, Grandpa Qi, Uncle Qi, I am sincere. I, I am not old enough to ask for a hand in marriage. I can just find a girl from a similar family. I have always cared about Xiaoying." Yes, after we get married, I will cherish her even more and hold her in the palm of my hand."
Meng Li snickered in her heart. After hearing what her second brother said, she was a good talker.
After getting married, I'm afraid I'll just pick it up casually.
Qi Xiaoying pretended to place things on the window sill and heard everything inside. She bit her lip gently, feeling so excited that she still didn't put the things in her hands.
How she hoped that her family would agree now to avoid any trouble in the future.
Looking at this sincere young man, Mr. Qi and Mr. Qi felt a little satisfied in their hearts.
However, Qi Laosan's face was still a little serious: "We see your sincerity, but before you come to ask for your marriage, the Zhang family has also been here."
Meng Ning couldn't help but become nervous again, and brought the tea cup to her mouth. After all, she was not in the mood to drink, so she put it down uneasily.
Logically speaking, someone had asked Qi Xiaoying before, but the Qi family specifically mentioned the Zhang family, fearing that it meant something to the Zhang family.
Meng Li asked: "Zhang family? Which son asked Xiaoying?"
"It's Zhang Youcai. He won the scholarship last year." Mr. Zhang said.
The people in the second room immediately understood that the Qi family valued Zhang Youcai's status as a scholar.
If Zhang Youcai wins the election, he can become an official and marry his daughter, who will become the official's wife in the future, thus leading a family of chickens and dogs to heaven.
This is a huge temptation for any farmer.
Meng pinched the corner of his clothes, and there was a little sweat on his forehead. He knew that at this time, no matter how much he swore to be good to Qi Xiaoying, it seemed a little weak.
Meng Li also fell silent. She knew that ancient people were obsessed with being an official. Even if the second wife made a fortune, she could not compare with a scholar who might become an official.
Unless, she gets rich to a certain extent, but she can't reach it now.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent. Meng Li frowned and slowly tapped her knees with her fingers. Meng Wu and Meng Ning felt uncomfortable, especially Meng Ning, who was at a loss what to do.
