Another morning.
The Li family was eating breakfast at the table.
The Xu brothers and sisters had gone to live at Gou Wazi's house yesterday, and Chen Xianglan specially cut some meat for them to bring over.
Although there were two fewer people than yesterday, there was still excitement at the dinner table.
The fourth child, Xiao Xuemei, was playing with her roly-poly doll next to the youngest child while eating.
Ever since Li Shiqiang bought her this doll, she has to carry it everywhere, especially in front of the youngest, who often shows it off.
The youngest son, the youngest, was also spoiled by his mother and father. Every time he saw the roly-poly doll, he would reach out and grab it.
"this is mine!"
Xiao Xuemei didn't hesitate at all and just held her in her arms with one hand.
"mine!"
The youngest was also stubborn, and he stretched out his hand to grab it without giving up.
But after all, he was a few years younger, so he couldn't compete with Xiao Xuemei. After a while, he started to curl his lips and tears came out.
When her mother, Chen Xianglan, saw it, her heart immediately softened. She took out the doll from Xiao Xuemei's arms and handed it to the youngest.
"Oh, what's wrong with playing tricks on your brother?"
"Erguo bought this for me!"
Xiao Xuemei snatched it back from the youngest, then quickly jumped off the stool and ran to Li Shiqiang's side.
"You said, if you want to buy, buy more. Why are you so partial and only buy it for Xiao Xuemei!" At this time, the old man Li Nongchang also put down his chopsticks and stared at Li Shiqiang.
"hehe."
Li Shiqiang laughed twice, hugged Xiao Xuemei who was leaning against him with one hand and said: "You guys favor the youngest, so I can't favor Xiao Xuemei? I usually buy some food, and if the youngest wants to eat, you can take it out for me." If he, Xiao Xuemei, wants to eat it, you won't let him."
"The youngest is so young, she can't let him go as a sister!"
"Why should I do it? Aren't they all our children?"
The issue of parental favoritism usually occurs as long as there are many children in the family.
When Li Shiqiang was young, he and his eldest sister had only two children, so the family favored him more.
Li Nongchang thought that he would only remember his parents' kindness to him and forget about his eldest sister's grievances, but after experiencing the previous life, he understood some truths more or less.
Family education has a really big impact on children. He doesn't want his sister to become a weak and aggrieved person who wants to give in in everything, and he doesn't want his younger brother to be pampered and arrogant and follow the path of crime in his previous life.
"Okay, okay, don't fight anymore. Now that the family is rich, we will treat everyone equally from now on. We can eat together and play together."
In the end, it was Chen Xianglan who stood up and persuaded the father and son.
Xiao Xuemei also huddled in Li Shiqiang's arms, raised her head and said, "Erguo, don't quarrel with the old man."
Li Shiqiang smiled and comforted: "It's not a quarrel, I'm trying to reason with the old man. Come on, finish your meal first."
After saying that, he picked up Xiao Xuemei again and placed her on the bench next to her.
"Um."
Xiao Xuemei nodded, buried her head and started eating.
Li Nongchang, on the other hand, got sulky, dropped his bowls and chopsticks, and sat on the threshold to smoke.
As soon as Li Shiqiang took a look, Chen Xianglan waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about him. We will have dinner later and go to the Huang family to discuss the marriage."
"Discussing the marriage?"
Li Shiqiang didn't dare to be vague when it was a matter of his own life. He quickly asked: "Mom, did Aunt Zhang go to the Huang family yesterday? What did the Huang family say?"
Chen Xianglan was also beaming with joy at this time, and said with a smile: "What can the Huang family say? They already announced that you must buy three big things before you can marry Yun. A few days ago, I gave our family News of the three major purchases spread throughout the village. Is it possible that Huang Yun’s mother still dares to regret it? "
"Your Aunt Zhang didn't even say a word when she went to Huang's house, but your Uncle Huang decided the matter and asked us to go to Huang's house today to discuss your marriage."
"Oh! It's finally done!"
Hearing that his marriage to Huang Yun was finally settled, Li Shiqiang also patted his thigh excitedly.
It’s been so long since I came back from rebirth, and I finally accomplished the first small goal I set.
Chen Xianglan also smiled and said at this time: "After eating, go to Haosheng to dress up and put on the 'Chenliang' shirt we bought last time."
"Gotta get it, gotta get it."
After Li Shiqiang nodded excitedly, he directly picked up the bowl, poured the remaining porridge into his mouth and drank it.
After he left, Chen Xianglan turned to look at Li Nongchang on the threshold and said, "Why are you still sitting there? You should go and put on your clothes."
"Let me tell you, today is my son's big day. If you dare to show off to me again, believe it or not, I will show off to you every day from now on?"
As Bachuan's characteristic "raking ears", Li Nongchang naturally did not dare to continue to show his bad face in front of Chen Xianglan, and immediately smiled and said: "I will change it now, I will change it now."
...
After breakfast, Li Shiqiang dressed neatly and followed his parents towards the Huang family down the mountain.
In addition to him, his parents were also well-dressed and paid special attention to this visit.
The three of them met the matchmaker Aunt Zhang on the way down the mountain.
As soon as they met, Aunt Zhang stared and asked, "Er baby, what are you holding in your hand?"
Li Shiqiang smiled and explained: "This is the lynx skin I hunted in the mountains yesterday, and I plan to send it to the Huang family."
"Hey, your future son-in-law is very sensible! This lynx skin is really comfortable to touch."
Aunt Zhang smiled and praised a few words, and then touched the lynx skin with joy in her eyes.
In the village, as long as the relationship can be established, the matchmaker usually brings benefits.
Li Shiqiang saw Aunt Zhang touching the lynx skin again and again, and immediately understood that Aunt Zhang also liked the lynx skin.
"If Aunt Zhang likes it, I will give you one another day, and it will be repaid to Aunt Zhang."
When Aunt Zhang heard this, her face suddenly lit up, and she immediately said: "Oh, is it true or not? Erwa, I heard that this lynx skin is worth hundreds of dollars. You can't lie to Zhang." Aunt!"
When she told Chen Xianglan the good news yesterday, the other party gave her a big red envelope on the spot. She didn't expect to receive benefits from Li Shiqiang today.
"No way!"
Chen Xianglan, who was on the side, shook her head with a smile and said: "Our second child can't make fun of Aunt Zhang! After all, you are his and Huang Yun's matchmaker!"
Li Shiqiang nodded and immediately promised Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry. If I encounter a bobcat in the mountains in the future, I will definitely call you back and deliver it to your home intact."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang will accept it first! Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go to Huang's house to talk about your family's marriage."
Aunt Zhang happily patted Li Shiqiang on the shoulder and followed the three of them to Huang's house.
