When Niu Xiaodi hurried over with Niu Dadu, he only saw the back of a carriage leaving quickly.
Li Zheng took a few people back to discuss this matter. Seeing that there was no more excitement, Niucaohua was ready to go home. It was still early, so he went home to pack his things and go into the mountains to enjoy the cool air.
But Niu Xier pulled her back: "Sister Caohua, come to my house and play for a while."
Cow grass flower:? ? ?
It seems that I am not that familiar with Niu Xier.
But everyone has invited me, so it’s not a good idea not to go. Go and see what’s going on.
Niu Caohua nodded, let Niu Xiaodi go home first, and followed Niu Xier to her house.
The house in Niu Xier's house is not very big. After all, only she and Granny Lin live in her house.
In the yard, there are rabbit cages of various sizes, which are kept very clean, but raising rabbits has a smell, especially when rabbits poop.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Grandma Lin was feeding the rabbits when she saw her granddaughter coming back with Niu Dadu's daughter. She was not surprised at all and greeted Niu Caohua with a smile.
"The grass flowers are here too, and the grass flowers are becoming more and more iconic as they grow."
"Hello, Granny Lin." Niu Caohua also greeted her quickly.
"Okay, you and Xi'er play slowly, and I'll pour you sweet water to drink." Grandma Lin threw all the vegetable leaves in her hand into the rabbit cage, turned back to the kitchen, and poured water for them.
Niu Xier pulled Niu Caohua into her room and sat down, then grabbed some dried fruits from the small box beside the bed and put them on the plate on the table: "Sister Caohua, eat some dried fruits."
Grandma Lin quickly opened the door and came in, holding a tray with two bowls of sugar water in her hand.
"Drink some sweet water. I've let it cool down. It's just right to drink it now."
"Okay, thank you, Granny Lin." Niu Caohua stood up, took the tray, and thanked her politely.
"Then you guys speak slowly, I'll go out first." Granny Lin went out with a smile.
Grandma Lin is much kinder than before, and her face looks very kind. It doesn't look like she was the same person before.
"Sister Caohua, I'm engaged." Niu Xier suddenly revealed a secret.
Niu Xier had a hint of shyness on her face.
"Congratulations." Niu Caohua was sincerely happy for her.
Niu Xier is one year younger than herself, and is now fourteen. In this era, it is normal to get engaged at such an old age.
"Grandma said there is no man in the family, so she needs someone to support the family, so she asked the matchmaker to help me find a husband."
Son-in-law?
Very few men are willing to be a surrogate son-in-law, unless they have some health problems, or their family is very poor and they really can't marry, so they reluctantly become a surrogate son-in-law.
Of course, like Niu Dashu before, who is in bad health, has a bad reputation, and is a bad person, such a matchmaker is not willing to come to propose marriage, and a son-in-law is not even his turn.
"The matchmaker found a few people for me and my grandma to see each other, but we didn't agree. Those people knew at a glance that their motives were impure and they came to my house to look around. There was one person who wanted to steal a cage before leaving. Rabbit, I made Grandma so angry." When she said this, Niu Xi'er looked angry, obviously she was also angry with these people.
I'm really angry. Why did the matchmaker bring such people?
"Don't look for this matchmaker next time." There are many matchmakers from all over the country, so you don't necessarily have to accept one of them.
Niu Xier also nodded in agreement.
"Later we found a matchmaker and looked for several people to look at her, but Grandma didn't like any of them. The matchmaker looked ugly and left angrily."
"Later, that Wang Youxi said that he was willing to be our family's son-in-law." When talking about this Wang Youxi, Niu Xier's face even blushed, feeling extremely shy.
"Wang Youxi?" Niu Caohua couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"It's the family that lives next door to Wang Younian. Doesn't his family have four sons? Wang Youxi is the youngest son."
As soon as Niu Xier said it, Niu Caohua also had an impression in his mind.
There are dozens of people surnamed Wang in Niujia Village who escaped from the disaster back then.
Wang Youxi's family was relatively lucky. Although the family members were separated, they later found out a few of them one after another and found them all.
If the family has a large population and not much land, it means they are poor.
Especially his eldest brother Wang Youfu injured his body while escaping and had to take medicine all year round.
Even if you raise rabbits, you can't fill this bottomless hole.
Four brothers, Wang Youfu, Wang Youlu, Wang Youshou, and Wang Youxi.
Wang Youfu was engaged before he fled, but before he got married, something happened, and they both fled. Now they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Then he got injured again and no one was willing to play matchmaker for him.
Wang Youlu farmed at home and married someone from his own village.
Because Wang Youshou was good-looking, he went to the county town to become his son-in-law.
As for Wang Youxi, he is now the son-in-law of Granny Lin's family, which is quite good.
"I remembered. He's a very nice young man. Congratulations to you, Xi'er. If you need any help from me when you get married, just ask."
Niu Xier was waiting for this sentence. She was silent for a while, and then she said it: "We plan to get married in a month. Can I borrow the carriage on the day of the wedding?"
Borrow a carriage?
"You and Wang Youxi live in the same village, why do you need to borrow a carriage?" The two families are only a few hundred meters apart. Why do you want to borrow a carriage?
"It's Brother Youxi. He is a son-in-law in the city and is looked down upon by the people over there. We just thought of bringing them back in a carriage when they get married to make the scene brighter." Niu Xi'er also knew that it was inappropriate to lend someone a carriage. The voice became quieter and quieter.
"Okay, tell me in advance when the time comes, and I'll ask my father to go to the city to borrow someone." Niu Caohua thought it was a big deal, so she agreed.
When you get married, make it grand and everyone will be happy.
It's normal to use a horse-drawn carriage to support the venue.
Just like in the previous life, the wedding car should be made more gorgeous.
Niu Xi'er didn't expect to agree so easily. She jumped up happily and hugged Niu Caohua's shoulders tightly.
"Thank you, Sister Caohua~"
After staying at Niu Xier's house for a while longer, Niu Caohua also stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, she drank all the sugar water in the bowl and walked quickly back home.
In the yard, Grandma Lin looked at the retreating back of Niucaohua, and then looked at her granddaughter's obviously joyful expression. She knew that the matter was done, but she was not happy at all, and her face was very long.
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that boy from the Wang family poured into you. We just got engaged, and he wants you to do this and that. You will suffer from it in the future."
"Grandma, Brother Youxi is very good to me." When she mentioned Wang Youxi, Niu Xi'er's face turned red. She was obviously a girl who had entered the stage of love.
"Humph~ It's up to you. I won't live long anyway. If you have a bad life in the future, I won't be able to see it!" Knowing that her granddaughter couldn't listen to anything she said now, Grandma Lin didn't bother to persuade her.
I went back to the house to do my own work.
