After thinking about it, Chen Xiaobei suddenly had an idea, "Xiaowen, if you really identify Peony, I can help you think of a way."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaowen's eyes lit up, "Oh, Brother Xiaobei, tell me quickly, what method should be used?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "That's not difficult at all. To put it bluntly, if I were Mudan's parent, I would also hope that my girl would find a good family and not have to suffer in the rest of her life. Are you right?"
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Chen Xiaowen nodded, "Yes, but I promise, I will treat Mudan well."
"Oh, it's no use making such a promise. You have to let Mudan's parents see that you have this ability, right?"
"I don't think it's better than this. Come back, I'll discuss it with Dayong and give you the position of captain of the village protection team."
"You suddenly became the village protection captain of Hetou Village. At least you are registered with the county government."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaowen hesitated for a moment.
"Brother, what virtues and abilities do I have? I can't do this as the captain of the village protection team."
"Besides, if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei nodded. Chen Xiaowen was a real person, but the more he said this, the more he wanted to help him, and then he had an idea.
"Then we can't be a village protection team. Let's try another way. Look, during this period of time, you first delivered apples to the county, then charcoal, and now you have to deliver cabbage. I think it's better for the village to become a transportation team. What do you do? Captain of the transportation team, and I have to appoint you in an open and public manner."
"From now on, you will be in charge of dispatching carriages to transport supplies in the village."
This is a compromise for Chen Xiaobei, which can not only ensure that Chen Dayong's position as village protection captain does not need to be changed in the county, but also allow Chen Xiaowen to have a position.
And to be honest, Chen Xiaowen did his job conscientiously. As the transportation captain, at least he felt at ease.
Chen Xiaowen hesitated for a while, "Brother, is this okay?"
"Okay, just follow my arrangements." Chen Xiaobei said with a smile and raised his riding whip.
After returning to the village, Chen Xiaobei brought pork to Chen Dachun. Chen Dachun looked surprised and a little embarrassed when he saw the two kilograms of pork.
"Brother Xiaobei, this isn't appropriate. As the saying goes, no reward comes without merit. I haven't done anything yet."
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "I didn't buy this for you. I'll give it to Qiu Mei's parents-in-law later. There are some things that need to be opened and there's no need to hide them."
After hearing this, Chen Dachun was stunned for a moment, then became excited, "Thank you very much, brother, you are right, I will go now, I will go now."
Chen Dachun took the meat and went straight to Qiu Mei's house.
Seeing that he was coming, Old Man Chen still showed a trace of discomfort on his face.
On the other hand, the aunt seemed more natural. She stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Dachun, why are you bringing meat when you come?"
"You, just take the meat back and give it to your mother to eat."
Chen Dachun smiled and put the meat on the table, "Uncle and aunt, brother Xiaobei also told me about my matter. Since everyone knows it well, let's pierce this layer of window paper today. "
After saying this, Qiu Mei's face turned red and she turned and entered the back room.
Seeing him enter the room, Old Chen nodded slightly, "Dachun, we have watched you grow up, and we know you very well. Since Xiaobei has said everything, I will say a few words today. "
"The child is the flesh and blood of Lidong. He must be recognized wherever he goes. In the future, when the two elders of us die, it will be written on the monument."
After hearing this, Dachun nodded without hesitation, "Uncle and aunt, where are you thinking? You will live a long life."
Old Chen sighed, "If you live a hundred years, you will die. Sooner or later."
Chen Dachun smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely honor you."
Old Chen nodded and coughed, "Qiu Mei, Dachun is leaving, come out and help us see him off."
Of course Chen Dachun understood that Old Man Chen was creating opportunities for himself.
Sure enough, when she heard the shouting, Qiu Mei walked out of the back room and saw Chen Dachun still standing there, looking a little shy.
When Chen Dachun saw this, he turned around and left without saying a word.
Qiu Mei followed suit, and the two of them walked out of the house and into the alley. After Chen Dachun stopped, he turned around and suddenly took Qiu Mei into his arms.
The sudden movement startled Qiu Mei. She struggled to break away, but Dachun hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Xiaomei, don't be afraid of me, I have no other intention... "
After listening to his words, Qiu Mei gradually calmed down and whispered, "Brother Dachun, please don't do this. If someone sees me, my reputation will be completely ruined."
After hearing this, Chen Dachun reluctantly let go of his hand, but still held Qiu Mei's arm tightly.
"Qiumei, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well."
After hearing this, Qiu Mei's expression changed. Perhaps in the eyes of women of this era, this sentence and this promise are enough. Qiu Mei lifted up the corners of her clothes and wiped the wet corners of her eyes. "Brother Dachun, thank you, but we have to put our ugly words up front. I don't covet your food or your clothes. As long as you live a good life, I will be with you forever."
"But if you gamble again in the future, I will have to leave even if my reputation is ruined."
Qiu Mei's meaning is obvious. If you want to gamble again, then I will lose my reputation and I will have to leave you.
In today's terms, a woman's reputation for divorce after being widowed is indeed a bit bad, but Qiu Mei's words showed her determination.
Chen Dachun nodded solemnly, "Qiu Mei, I swear to God, if I don't follow the right path, God will strike with thunder."
Qiu Mei was a little moved by what she said. She stretched out her hand to cover Dachun's mouth, and fell into Dachun's arms in the next moment.
The two hugged each other quietly for a moment, and then Qiu Mei broke away from Dachun's arms with a little reluctance, "Brother Dachun, it's time for me to go back. I'm afraid the two old people may misunderstand after a long time."
Chen Dachun shook her hand again and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely propose marriage as soon as possible."
"Don't make a big show of it, Brother Dachun. You know my situation. Let's not hold any more grand ceremonies."
"Just set up two banquets and let everyone know that I moved here."
After hearing this, Chen Dachun shook his head, "No, no, it's too bad for you."
Qiu Mei smiled calmly, "There is nothing wrong with it, as long as I can live a stable life in the future."
After saying that, she took off Chen Dachun's hand, then turned around and walked back. After walking a few steps, she looked back at Chen Dachun.
