There are not many guests today, they are all old acquaintances of the Zhou family.
Mianmian and Zhouzhou had been sitting in the room. She curiously poked her head to see, "It's so lively outside, why don't we go take a look."
Zhouzhou shook his head quickly and said, "Mianmian, eldest brother and sister-in-law said that you can't run around today."
Mianmian sat down and whispered: "I saw them carrying two wild geese today, how about we go and have a look."
"Wild geese?" Zhouzhou was immediately interested, "Why are there wild geese when I apply for a job?"
Mianmian explained: "People say that the wild goose is very loyal to its lover. They will be a pair for life. If the other wild goose dies, the other wild goose will stay where it is and never leave."
"So when making an appointment, the husband's family will bring a pair of wild geese to symbolize that the husband and wife are of the same mind and will never leave."
Zhouzhou seemed to understand but not quite.
Mianmian grabbed her and said, "Let's go take a look."
Zhouzhou was curious and followed Mianmian seriously. ?.?????.???
Mianmian took her secretly towards the backyard.
The two geese were carried into the house at the front door, and after the parents made a marriage contract and chose a date, the geese were carried to the backyard for feeding.
Mianmian had just arrived in the backyard and bumped into two little dolls who came from nowhere with sticks to beat the wild geese in the cage.
She quickly stepped forward to stop her: "What are you doing?!"
The two little kids immediately let go of the sticks in their hands and ran away.
Mianmian hurriedly went to see the wild goose. Seeing that the wild goose was fine, she stopped chasing him.
Zhouzhou looked at the direction the two little kids were leaving and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately we came to see them today, otherwise the wild goose would have been killed by those two people just now."
Mianmian had just moved in with Du Wanchun not long ago and didn't know the two little kids.
At this time, Zhang Qiuhe came over and said, "Mianmian, why are you out?"
Mianmian told Zhang Qiuhe what happened just now.
Zhang Qiuhe understood immediately and said, "Those are probably the two children of the Meng family in the south of the village."
Mianmian suddenly remembered.
When she was young, the Meng family in the south of the village rarely had any contact with her own family. She heard that the Meng family had a feud with her grandmother, but she didn't expect that there would suddenly be two little babies in the family.
Zhang Qiuhe said: "Aunt Meng and Uncle Meng of the Meng family passed away a few years ago. After Uncle Meng was deposed, he never forgot to take a concubine. When he was old, he took a young concubine, which made Aunt Meng alive. He died, and later the concubine took possession of all their family’s money, drove the Meng family’s sons out of the village, and starved Uncle Meng to death.”
"Their family is also self-inflicted. Even when they are old, they still want to take concubines. They don't even look at what a beautiful girl wants to do by marrying a bad old man like you. It's not just for the family's money and land. "
After hearing this, Mianmian asked: "Where did these two children come from?"
Zhang Qiuhe whispered: "That concubine hooked up with a man from the next village before Uncle Meng died and gave birth to two children for him."
"That man has a family and a house. It will probably be a big drama in the future."
Mianmian understood and said with a smile: "When the engagement is over today, I will talk to my mother to prevent those two children from coming to our house to cause trouble again."
Zhang Qiuhe smiled and said, "That's fine."
Mianmian and Zhouzhou stayed to continue watching the two wild geese.
As night fell, the guests gradually left.
Lady Wu and Wei Xun were not in a hurry to leave. The wedding date they had set with Du Wanchun was the tenth day of May next year.
With more than half a year left, the two decided to stay here for two days before going back.
Two days later, Mrs. Wu and Wei Xuncai reluctantly left Changliu Village.
Du Wanchun brought Mianmian and Qing'er to the dock to see them off.
Before leaving, Mrs. Wu held Du Wanchun's hand and was unwilling to let go for a long time. "What if the next time we come back can only be when Qing'er and Mianmian get married?"
Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Don't worry, Qing'er is here, we will take good care of him."
Mrs. Wu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and looked at Qing'er aside.
Qing'er stepped forward and said, "Mom, I will take Mianmian to visit you often."
Madam Wu smiled and nodded.
Wei Xun supported her and said softly: "Let's go. Qing'er is so sensible, so we don't need to worry too much.
