When Chu Yi and his younger brother returned to their yard, the Chu family's grandma and granddaughter Chu Xiuxiu had just come out of the kitchen and happened to see them returning home: "Why did it take so long? Dinner has been served at home. I'll leave it for you two." Got some food in the kitchen."
Chu Yi said hurriedly: "I talked to Uncle Shen for a while. The wedding banquet was eaten later, and I'm not hungry yet." While talking, the grandparents and grandchildren entered the main room. The grandfather and third uncle of the Chu family were sitting at the table. Drinking tea and chatting, he looked up after hearing the sound.
"How are you meeting? The Shen family must be very busy getting married today." Originally, the two families wanted to meet each other because they had plans to become in-laws. In addition, today is the second marriage of the Shen family. On this day, it was said that she and the old man should at least go to one with their grandson!
But the two families live in two villages across the river, and they have never interacted with each other over the years. Suddenly they came to visit like this and went to express their happiness. If the people in the village knew about this, what would happen if it was a marriage? It’s okay if it works out, but if it doesn’t work out, I don’t know what will be planned behind the scenes!
The Chu family has seen enough excitement in the past few years. If the children and grandchildren want to continue to live in this village, it is better to keep a low profile!
As soon as Grandma Chu and Mr. Chu worked together, they simply asked Chu Yi to bring his grandson there. It wouldn't be too rude to add a gift. If it didn't work out in the end, it would be fair to say that it was a friendship between the younger generations.
"The Shen family is very lively today. My brother and I inquired all the way to find her. When we arrived, the procession to welcome the bride had already set off, but the Shen family's uncle, aunt, and Miss Shen were all here."
After hearing this, Third Uncle Chu put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked, "What about the Shen girl? But as Granny Qin said, is my nephew still satisfied?"
Chu Li on the side couldn't help but interject. He wanted the Shen family's sister to be his sister-in-law. He felt that his brother must have thought the same way: "The Shen family's sister is very nice, gentle and good-looking! Look, third uncle, She also brought me a lot of wedding candies, saying she wanted to make me happy!"
As he spoke, he took out all the melon seeds and wedding candies in his pocket and showed them to his third uncle.
Chu Yi touched his brother's head and asked him to eat sweets with his cousin Xiu Xiu: "A Li likes her very much."
"Who asked you about Ah Li? Third uncle is asking about you. Are you satisfied with it?"
"satisfied."
"Ms. Qin also said that she has a good appearance and a good temperament, but she was delayed because she had to pay filial piety to her elders. There is only one daughter in the family, so she has been choosing between them. This matter... what do you think, old man?"
The second grandson is turning 20 this year, and the marriage cannot be postponed. Alas, life at home has been really unhappy these past few years!
Seeing this, Mr. Chu thought for a moment and then made a decision: "Then let your grandma and Mrs. Qin know tomorrow, and also see what the Shen family wants."
"Listen to grandpa."
Early the next morning, the Shen family had breakfast, received the sewing gift from their new wife, and got busy as usual!
Father Shen followed his father to the pharmacy in the front yard, wanting to talk to the old man about his daughter's marriage. Mother Shen finished her work in the front and back of the house, and took her daughter back to the house: "I'm asking you, what did you do yesterday?" It can be seen that after seeing Chu Yi and saying something, is he still okay?"
Shen Luzhu smiled and helped his mother to sit down. With her mother's usually fiery temperament, it was not easy for her to bear to ask her until now: "Mom, please sit down and speak slowly. My daughter has naturally met her." , but he didn’t say anything, and he looked a little serious. He looks really good, and um... his voice is pretty nice too!"
Mother Shen frowned, there was really nothing she could do about this enemy: "It's gone? Your father asked me to ask you if you are satisfied or not, but you, after looking around, how come you just looked at each other?"
"Hey, grandma, aren't you and my dad here? It's not like my parents ordered me to be a matchmaker, so my daughter can just listen to you and my dad!"
"I've never seen you so obedient on weekdays. If that's the case, it's great. Your father and I don't have to worry about anything anymore. We can just find a house and marry you!"
Mother Shen didn't believe her daughter's coaxing lies. Although her daughter was always sweet-tongued and obedient, and filial, no one in the family knew that she was smart and had big ideas. She had always had weird ideas in her mind. However, fortunately, she is a kind-hearted person. If you don't follow her, she won't be too stubborn.
"Auntie, I won't. You love me the most and you won't let me marry a coward!" Shen Luzhu said while holding Shen's mother's arm and making love.
Mother Shen felt a little helpless. She was the only daughter in the family who had been popular since she was a child. From her father-in-law and mother-in-law to the boys in the second room, everyone doted on her. As a result, she got used to her personality. If you love to act coquettishly, will you still be able to live like a spoiled child in your husband's family in the future?
When they were resting in the room at noon, Father Shen asked: "Dad thinks it's very good. He said that Chu Yi has a good character and a good craftsmanship. Although the family situation is a bit complicated, how can there be so many perfect people who marry closer? We can still take care of you, what did your daughter say?"
"What can I say? Your daughter just looked at her appearance and listened to her voice...but I guess she is satisfied!"
Father Shen choked for a moment, but when he thought about it, it was indeed something his daughter could do: "If Mrs. Qin, who will be a matchmaker, comes to our house again someday, let's accept this!"
Shen's mother is still a little worried, but what her father-in-law and her daughter's father said makes sense, and her daughter is also satisfied with it, so it would be better to make the decision earlier. After all, her daughter is getting older, so she can't delay it any longer!
I thought that Mrs. Qin would have to wait two days before coming to the door. Unexpectedly, not long after noon, when Mother Shen was chatting with her younger sister Zheng in the yard, she saw Mrs. Qin coming to the door again with a smile on her face!
"Aunt Qin, why are you here now? Come in and sit down!" Mother Shen led Mrs. Qin to the main room. Mrs. Zheng got up and went to the kitchen to pour herbal tea. After saying hello, she left the main room.
Seeing that Mother Shen was much more enthusiastic this time than before, Mrs. Qin knew that the marriage was likely to happen, and the smile on her face became even bigger: "It's not like our daughter of the Shen family is in good condition, there are so many families like this." The young men here are all making up their minds. If you can trust me, mother-in-law, I will definitely be more considerate of this matter! I wonder if your family is satisfied with Chu Yi?"
Although Mother Shen knew what the matchmaker said, she just listened to it and couldn't take it seriously. But who doesn't like to hear beautiful words? She felt very comfortable: "You also know that there was a wedding in the family yesterday, and we aunts had to be busy in the kitchen. , we had a quick meeting, but his father actually chatted with Chu Yi for a long time and said that he was a good person, with good character and appearance!"
"So your family has approved of this marriage? I am not boasting, mother-in-law. Over the years, there have been dozens if not hundreds of couples. From the beginning, I felt that these two children are a perfect match and they are both rare. Wonderful man, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep this old face and visit again and again!
To be honest, after reading the photo yesterday, the Chu family was very satisfied with our Shen family's daughter. They came to the door early this morning and urged me to come and check out your family. I was afraid that the marriage would be ruined. ! "
Matchmaker Qin is really happy. She has some connections with Chu Yi's maternal ancestral family. The two families have a good relationship. This marriage is done. She can be considered a trustworthy person and a loyal person!
Furthermore, if you want to find a matchmaker in Hexi Village from now on, it will be more convenient with the examples of the Chu and Shen families here!
Hearing that the Chu family was so satisfied with their daughter, there was no reason for Shen's mother to be unhappy. The worries she had before seemed to have eased a bit!
The host and guest chatted happily. In the middle of the afternoon, Mrs. Qin left the Shen family in a hurry and went to the Chu family to reply with the good news!
When Mrs. Qin entered the courtyard, Grandma Chu was preparing dinner in the kitchen. She heard something moving in the yard. She told her granddaughter Chu Xiuxiu to watch the fire in the stove and came out: "Mother Qin is here now, but has the Shen family replied to the letter?" As he said this, he turned around and called Chu Xiuxiu to bring some tea!
"Auntie, don't be busy with your work. It's getting late. I'll leave as soon as I say something. The Shen family is very satisfied with our husband. The family can get ready!"
"This is a good thing, a good thing. It's all thanks to you, and you will have to worry about the rest!"
Grandma Chu didn't expect that this matter would be settled so quickly. She thought that when the Qin matchmaker came to her door and said that she wanted to see her grandson's marriage, she didn't believe it. She didn't expect that this person was really capable!
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I'll choose a few good days when I get back. Old aunt, you pick one and we'll inform the Shen family so that we can propose marriage. The old aunt is busy first, so I won't stay any longer. The house is still waiting for arrangements. There’s rice.”
In the Shen family in Hexi Village, Shen's father took advantage of the family gathering to have dinner in the main room to announce the happy news that his youngest daughter was about to get married to Chu Yi. However, some people seemed unhappy, especially Shen Luzhu's eldest brother. Shen Chuanbai and his second brother Shen Songjie.
"The Chu family that runs a coffin shop? The Chu family that wants to separate the family after the second child is gone, the third child is disabled, and the eldest brother wants to separate the family? What do you think, father and mother?" Shen Songjie felt that either he was crazy, or that the second oldest child in his family was crazy. , how could he marry his precious sister to that family!
"My husband, if you have something to say, please speak it up." Shen Songjie and his wife, Mrs. Zhao, tugged on her husband's clothes under the table and told him to pay attention, otherwise he would be lectured by his parents-in-law again soon.
Mother Shen glanced sideways at her second son: "What do you think, your father and I can still trick our own daughter?"
The eldest brother Shen Chuanbai frowned slightly, obviously not agreeing with this matter: "Dad, when was this decided? Why don't the sons know about it? Is it too hasty?"
"Your mother and I pushed the matchmaker away the last two times, so I didn't tell you. Yesterday, Ge Zeqi got married. When the Chu family came to celebrate, they stopped by to see each other. Your grandpa also..." As he spoke, Shen The father looked at it and almost buried his head in the bowl, planning to be the daughter of an invisible man: "My mother-in-law and I are both satisfied. It's settled today."
After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to feel that he was not majestic enough, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control these two boys: "Why, I have to tell you everything about the family!"
Shen Zeqi, who was sitting quietly aside, looked at the glances from his two cousins, and suddenly had the illusion that he was getting married at the wrong time: "Uncle, my nephew has also heard about the Chu family's situation. Some of them really don’t look like a good husband. If my cousin gets married, I’m afraid..."
"The situation of the Chu family is indeed not good..." Mr. Shen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke!
Mother Shen looked at Father Shen blankly, as if asking: Dad, didn't you say that father-in-law was quite satisfied?
Father Shen also looked at his father with a shocked expression, "Didn't you say that before? You defected a little too quickly!"
