"Guoer, what did my mother say in the letter?" Meng Xingzhou asked, holding Sheng Guoer's hand.
"It's nothing, this is a secret between me and her, I won't tell you!" Sheng Guoer playfully scratched Meng Xingzhou's nose and said.
Meng Xingzhou looked at Sheng Guoer with a smile and said dotingly: "Okay, everything you say is right. By the way, I feel that you are quite interested in the sacrificial ceremony. I wonder what you want to do?"
Sheng Guoer tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "I'll let you help me when I think about it!"
Sheng Guoer wanted to organize the sacrificial ceremony into an agricultural product expo, and took the opportunity to promote his own weeder. After Sheng Guoer improved it, the working efficiency of the weeder was greatly improved. It can not only weed weeds, but also assist in harvesting. However, Sheng Guoer has not told Meng Xingzhou and Uncle Li Zheng about all this.
She originally planned to tell them when she would use it in the spring of next year, and she would take advantage of this winter to study it quietly. Although Meng Xingzhou's proposal made Sheng Guoer instantly fall into a sweet and tender land, Sheng Guoer has never been a lover.
Because she has always believed that only balanced love can go a long way. At least he still has the three big mountains in front of him: the Meng family, status, and the custom of "the marriage between the East and the West is incompatible".
If you want to uproot these three mountains, it is absolutely impossible without any strength and status.
Therefore, based on the information given by Meng Xingzhou, Sheng Guoer wanted to innovate the sacrificial ceremony and turn it into an agricultural tools product expo, attracting people from various villages to come to exchange and learn, and expand the influence of Dongxiang Village. In this way, if large quantities can be produced in the coming year, Order a lawnmower and you’ll earn another pot of gold.
Sooner or later, one day, I will shock the Meng family!
Meng Xingzhou looked at Sheng Guoer's thinking look that was very cute, so he scratched her nose and said, "You are so weird."
It was getting late now, and Sheng Guoer said, "I'll ask Tieniu to take you back!"
Meng Xingzhou nodded.
"Is Tieniu here?" Sheng Guoer took Meng Xingzhou's hand to Tieniu's house and asked loudly.
Tieniu was moving the bricks of the pig pen when he heard Sheng Guoer's voice. He hurriedly ran out and said with a smile: "Sister, look for me!"
But when Tieniu saw Sheng Guoer holding Meng Xingzhou's hand, his face froze instantly.
How could Sheng Guoer not know what Tieniu was thinking, so he stepped forward and said, "Good brother, my sister would like to ask you to help send Mr. Meng off, is that okay?"
Tie Newton paused, turned his back to Sheng Guoer, and said nothing.
Sheng Guoer patted Tieniu on the shoulder and said: "Tieniu, sister promises you that she will always treat you as her own brother, okay? By the way, don't you like carriages? I'll buy you one next spring. How about a new carriage?"
Tieniu suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "I don't want it!" and then ran away.
Meng Xingzhou said playfully: "I didn't expect that our boss Sheng would actually have a childhood sweetheart. You asked Tieniu to send me off, so you're not afraid of any danger!"
Sheng Guoer raised her eyebrows and said, "You're a little bit cautious, Tieniu is still a child, and he only treats me like a sibling."
Meng Xingzhou smiled and walked up to Sheng Guoer and said, "I don't think so. Forget it, I'd better go back by myself."
After saying that, Meng Xingzhou took Sheng Guoer's hand and left Tieniu's house.
Tieniu ran to the ancient well in the village and squatted by the well, breathing heavily.
Ma Chunhua happened to be passing by and saw Tieniu squatting by the well. She got naughty and tiptoed behind Tieniu, then backed away with a wicked smile.
Tieniu was unprepared and was pushed directly into the well!
Ma Chunhua, a tiger girl, didn't expect Tieniu to be unprepared at all, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tieniu.
"Tieniu, hold on to the rope on the wheel!" Ma Chunhua said with difficulty.
Tieniu said with an indifferent expression: "If you want to do something bad, just do it to the end. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore!"
Ma Chunhua thought Tieniu was joking and said hurriedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't teased you enough yet, how can you seek death so easily!"
At this moment, Song Silang passed by carrying firewood and humming a song. Ma Chunhua shouted: "Song Si, come and help, Tieniu fell into the well."
Song Silang hurriedly threw down the firewood and stepped forward to pull the two of them up.
The three of them were panting and slumped down by the well. Tieniu had a look of despair on his face. Song Silang said: "You are having fun during the Chinese New Year, children!"
Ma Chunhua didn't want him to know the truth, so she said, "He accidentally fell into the well, so I helped him pull him up. I have to thank you, fourth brother!"
Song Silang was so shrewd. Seeing Tieniu's indifferent expression, he thought something must be wrong, so he asked: "Tieniu, you have always been agile, why did you fall into the well?"
Ma Chunhua was afraid that Tie Niu would tell the truth honestly, so she rushed to the conversation and said, "Who hasn't stumbled yet?"
But at this time, Tieniu said to himself: "Why is she holding hands with Mr. Meng?"
Song Silang and Ma Chunhua both heard it and asked together: "Who is holding hands with Mr. Meng?"
Tieniu said with straight eyes, "Sister Guo'er."
My God, this is simply earth-shattering news! Song Silang and Ma Chunhua jumped up instantly.
Sheng Guoer, who has a low status, unexpectedly captured the handsome and distinguished scholar Meng Xingzhou, the son of Xifeng Village!
Even though Meng Xingzhou is close to the people, how can the family concept that straddles the east and west villages allow these two people to be together?
At this moment, Song Silang and Ma Chunhua made a gesture of thinking with their hands touching their chins, and then said in unison: "Is this a private life decision?!"
After the two said this sentence in unison, their eyes met, and then they loudly said: "This must be the case!"
Ma Chunhua suddenly transformed into Di Renjie, narrowed her eyes and said, "Oh, I wonder why this guy Sheng Guoer recently called Mr. Meng out to have a private chat when he was selling Spring Festival couplets. That's how it is!"
Song Silang also reasoned: "No wonder Mr. Meng insists on coming to Dongxiang Village to teach. According to their words, it is a drunkard who does not care about drinking!"
Neither of them paid attention to the heartbroken Tieniu.
At this moment, Tieniu cried loudly: "Sister Guo'er, why are you with Mr. Meng! Wow!"
When Tieniu cried, it was like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, which startled Song Silang and Ma Chunhua.
Ma Chunhua went over and consoled her: "Tieniu, my sister Guo'er is older than you. Besides, you are still a child. How can a child get married?"
Tieniu's eyes were filled with tears. He sobbed and beat his chest and said, "I feel so uncomfortable!" After saying that, he started crying again.
Ma Chunhua comforted her: "You are too young to understand the relationship between men and women. When you grow up, you may not like Sister Guo'er, right?"
Song Silang sneered: "Chunhua, it seems like you know it very well!"
Ma Chunhua said angrily: "I don't understand it, but I heard it from hearsay. It's better than you just standing there and saying nothing!"
Song Silang raised his eyebrows: "Hey, let me tell you, you little girl, why do you scold the cook when you are full? If it hadn't been for me just now, you two would have become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks!"
Ma Chunhua said angrily: "Fourth brother, if you keep talking nonsense, I will whip you!"
Tieniu also said angrily: "Yes, if you keep talking nonsense, I will slap you too!" Then he burst into tears again.
Song Silang curled his lips and said: "Okay, okay, Tieniu, you will be very handsome in the future. There will be many people better than Sheng Guoer, right? Man, be strong! Let's go, Si Can I bake some pancakes for you?"
When Tieniu heard this, he cried even louder: "I don't want your cousin Chuntao's pancakes, because I'm afraid of losing my teeth! Wow!"
Song Silang said: "Try it, Chuntao's craftsmanship is very good now, it was Guoer who taught me!"
Upon hearing that it was Sheng Guoer who taught him, Tieniu cried even louder.
Song Silang sighed and said: "Oh, what is love? Love is torturing the dead without paying for it!"
Then Song Silang helped Tieniu up and comforted him: "Okay, okay, you are still young and there are plenty of opportunities. If you work hard, there will be better things in the future. Don't cry, kid!"
As he spoke, he took Tieniu home.
After returning home, Tieniu entered the house without saying a word. Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu did not notice the change in their son, but Song Silang explained that he was a little scared when he was playing by the well just now, and he would be fine after a while. Tie Niu Niu and Grandma Wang asked Tie Niu concernedly, but Tie Niu just hid under the quilt and said nothing.
Uncle Chu shouted at this time: "Don't worry about him, young man, how can he be scared! Besides, he ran out and went crazy after doing half the work. He will be fine in a while, come and work quickly!"
Iron Cowgirl could only comfort her son with a few words and then went back to work.
Ma Chunhua said: "Brother Song, I think we should not spread Tieniu's words to others."
Song Silang nodded and said, "Well, it would not be good for Guoer and Mr. Meng to spread the word about things that haven't been revealed yet. They will tell us when they want to."
Ma Chunhua smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the fourth brother Song, who has always been loudmouthed, would actually have such an awareness!"
Song Silang said: "You really underestimate me!"
Ma Chunhua looked back at Tieniu's house worriedly. Song Silang sighed and said, "It'll be fine after this. Let's go! There are some things that he has to bear alone. There are some darkness, and he has to Only by traveling alone can you become a real man!"
Ma Chunhua nodded, and Tieniu's parents said goodbye to Song Silang and went home.
In fact, after Sheng Guoer sent Meng Xingzhou away, she recalled Tieniu's condition and was a little worried. She was also afraid that if she went there again, she would irritate Tieniu, so she asked Xiao Tao to go and have a look. After all, Xiaotao is a doctor. If there is really something wrong with Tieniu, , Xiaotao can also help with treatment.
"Xiao Tao, take your medicine box and go see how Tieniu is doing. I look at him today and something seems wrong!" Sheng Guoer ignored holding hands with Meng Xingzhou, because Sheng Guoer didn't want to even mention the horoscope yet. It made a fuss.
Xiaotao nodded, put on her cotton-padded jacket, took the medicine box and went out.
Mrs. Shen asked at this time: "What does Mr. Meng want from you?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Oh, there are two things. The first one is about the sacrificial ceremony. The second one..."
Seeing her daughter's shy look, Mrs. Shen understood in her heart and said, "Guo'er, you have to think about it. Mr. Meng's status is not equal to ours. Even if you two have friendship, it will be difficult. But my daughter As long as you like it, I will go out of my way to talk to Meng Zhengtang!"
Sheng Guoer looked at Mrs. Shen, then hugged her mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, you are so kind!"
Then, Sheng Guoer said, "Mom, I'm going to Xifeng Village. My future mother-in-law wants to discuss with me how to deal with my future father-in-law!"
Mrs. Shen scratched Sheng Guoer's nose and said, "Little clever guy, you are really not shy. My parents-in-law called me before I even got into trouble!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Mrs. Shen stood up and opened the door. It was Uncle Li Zheng.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Brother and sister, my family has made some new wine, and I am thinking of sending you some."
Mrs. Shen clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Li Zheng, I'm sorry to bother you with bringing you wine. How can my family be so virtuous?"
Uncle Li said angrily: "Hey, it's Chinese New Year. Let's share. I gave some to every household. Hahaha!"
Sheng Guoer also stood up to thank him, and then said: "Uncle, come and sit down. I just want to discuss the sacrificial ceremony with you."
When Sheng Guoer revealed his plan, Uncle Li was shocked. He had never seen such a sacrificial ceremony before.
Sheng Guoer said, "Shennong worked hard for us. If we use the latest farm tools to give back to him, aren't we inheriting his spirit? Besides, the countryside also has this decree. The demon is both exciting and beneficial to the people!"
Uncle Li said: "I'm old, and I don't want to fight with Xifeng Village anymore, but you said there are rewards, so I want to give it a try, at least bring some benefits to the folks in our village, and I can be considered an upright person." It’s not in vain.”
Sheng Guoer said approvingly: "Thank you, Uncle Li!"
Uncle Li smiled and said: "It's my turn to thank you. Since you recovered from your illness, you have been doing this and doing that, bringing our village a little bit of extra money. It's you who have worked hard, kid! By the way, If you want to prepare for this kind of sacrificial ceremony, you need Tieniu’s help!”
Sheng Guoer asked, "Why?"
Uncle Li explained: "Tie Niu, don't think he is young, huh? Don't you know?"
In the middle of his explanation, Uncle Li suddenly looked at Sheng Guoer strangely. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Sheng Guoer not to know the details of Tieniu.
Sheng Guoer came through time travel, and the original host was a stupid girl. Even if Tieniu had any skills, she couldn't remember them.
Sheng Guoer laughed dryly: "Tieniu has so many abilities, I really can't remember them at the moment. After I recover from the illness, my memory is not as good as before."
Uncle Li didn't mind, and said: "In our village, the one who is best at building platforms and sheds is Tieniu. As long as Tieniu commands, those sheds and platforms you mentioned will be no problem."
Sheng Guoer said in surprise: "It's true! That's great, I'll go to Tieniu to negotiate!"
But at this moment, Xiao Tao rushed in through the door. Sheng Guoer saw the panic on Xiao Tao's face and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tao said: "It's broken, Tieniu is crazy!"
"Ah?!" Sheng Guoer and others stood up in surprise with their eyes widened, looking at Xiao Tao with a look of certainty in disbelief.
