Because of Xu Maocai's explanation, Xu Xiaocheng did not quarrel with Tang Yue'e, "Tang, you want to please the Tang family, you can go, don't use my niece's crooked brain, if there is a next time, you will go back to your mother's house, my old Xu family does not have a black-hearted person like you." ”When Tang Yue'e heard this, she knew that the matter was exposed, and secretly complained, Qiao'er, a dead girl, was too slippery, so she agreed to it in person, played with a knife behind her back, and said busily: "I said that I laughed and teased Qiao'er." ”Xu Xiaocheng sneered and said, "Who are you lying to this, why don't you see you to tease Tian'er and Mi'er" Tang Yue'e saw him with a gloomy face, stammered, and didn't dare to answer again.After this incident, Xu Liu's family became more and more unwilling to see her, and the three concubines slowly moved away from her.After the holiday, Xu Zhicheng and Xu Xiaocheng took their wives and children back to the city first, and Xu Shuncheng stayed at home for one more day.In the afternoon, Xu Qiaojun was about to go out to Li's house, and Zhou Xiuxiu led three people over.One was an old woman over sixty years old, one was a middle-aged woman about forty years old, and the other was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.The young man is Zhou Xiuxiu's nephew Zhou Changxiu, the middle-aged woman is his mother Zhou Yang, and the old woman is his grandmother Zhou Wu.Lu Chunjiao greeted her warmly and invited the four of them into the hall to sit down, "Qiao'er, ask your eldest sister to boil the kettle and bring it in." ”Xu Qiaojun entered the stove room in response, and Xu Yier was already scooping water."
Eldest sister, who are they doing at our house" Xu Qiaojun leaned over to Xu Yi'er and asked."
I don't know."
Xu Yi'er's cheeks flushed slightly.Xu Qiaojun saw her shy appearance, and knew that she knew the purpose of the four of them.While there are many reasons why girls are shy, the reasons today speak for themselves.It was about Xu Yi'er's life, Xu Qiaojun postponed her literacy and slipped into the hall to look at the young man who might become her eldest brother-in-law.Zhou Changxiu was dressed in a clean gray-blue short brown, his hair was neatly tied with a cloth belt on the top of his head, revealing his forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his nose was straight and his lips were thick.The face looks pretty good, but I don't know what the character is Zhou Changxiu's expression was slightly restrained, he sat in front of Xu Shuncheng, and answered the question he just asked, "I have been an apprentice in Zhang Ji in the city for more than a year. ”"We have been studying carpentry for more than a year and almost two years, and we can do tables, chairs, and cabinets, and the new ones made at home are all done by him when he takes the time to come back and do them, and he can become a teacher after two years of study."
Zhou Xiuxiu said with a smile."
It's good to learn carpentry, many crafts, but we croppers, we still have to be able to plant this field."
Xu Shuncheng said with a smile."
When the rice was planted and the autumn harvest was harvested, I would ask Master and I for leave to go home to help, and I didn't delay the work in the field."
Zhou Changxiu rubbed his hands uneasily."
We are Changxiu, we are good at work, and the seedlings are planted neatly and quickly."
Zhou Xiuxiu praised.While talking, Xu Yier brought boiling water in.Zhou Wu and Zhou Yang's eyes fell on her, her appearance was delicate, her figure was slender, her dress was clean and tidy, and she bowed slightly with satisfaction.Zhou Changxiu secretly glanced at Xu Yi'er.When Xu Yier served tea, she also secretly went to target him.Their eyes met, and the two shyly avoided it, their cheeks flushed.The five elders who have been paying attention to the two of them smiled knowingly.Xu Qiaojun is a little sad, in modern times, she is twenty-eight years old, and she is still enjoying the happiness of being single, but here, she has to marry someone on a blind date at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and the contrast is too great.Xu Yier left the hall in a panic and hid in the stove room, and did not come out again until the Zhou family left.After the Zhou family left, Xu Shuncheng said to Lu Chunjiao: "This Zhou Changxiu looks pretty good, I will go to Zhang Ji to inquire more, what about you, I will also ask someone to go to Lanshan Village to inquire about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhou family."
Not every place is the same as Sanjia Village, the family is separated after a month of marriage, Yi'er has to marry and serve two layers of mother-in-law. ”"Got it."
Lu Chunjiao cleaned up the cup."
You have a snack about this, inquire carefully, don't be confused, you promise the wrong person, it will hurt Yi'er for the rest of your life."
Xu Shuncheng said solemnly.Xu Qiaojun nodded in agreement, no matter what era it is, marrying someone is equivalent to a woman's second reincarnation, and she must be cautious.Her father is still quite reliable and can think about his daughter."
Ouch, I see."
Lu Chunjiao said impatiently.Xu Shuncheng showed a displeased look on his face, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, frowned, and walked out with his legs raised."
Hey, where are you going?"
asked Lu Chunjiao.Xu Shuncheng ignored her and went straight out to Li's house to find Li Xu.Xu Shuncheng was afraid that Lu Chunjiao would be perfunctory, so he decided to find someone else he trusted to inquire.After Li Xu and Zhao Lingling learned of his intention, they both felt that they had to inquire about this matter clearly.Zhao Lingling said: "My brother-in-law's sister is married to Lanshan Village, and I will go to her tomorrow to ask." ”"There's a cousin-in-law for this."
Xu Shun became enlightened."
The family doesn't talk to the two families, Yi'er is married well, and I, the uncle, am also happy."
Zhao Lingling said with a smile.Xu Shuncheng entrusted Zhao Lingling with the inquiry, so he was relieved, thanked him again, and got up to leave.The next day, Xu Shuncheng did not rush into the city, and waited for news from Zhao Lingling at home.Zhao Lingling was reliable, and early in the morning, she carried twenty eggs and a bag of brown sugar to visit relatives in Lanshan Village.Xu Yier's family affairs, although Xu Qiaojun realized that she would marry when she was a minor, but she didn't worry about it for too long, after all, it was seven or eight years later, and now she was worried, how would the days go on In the evening, Zhao Lingling came back from Lanshan Village.She inquired about the affairs of the Zhou family clearly, Zhou Changxiu is the second son of the Zhou family, there is an elder brother who is three years older than him, who has married a wife and has a daughter, and there are two younger sisters below, one is thirteen years old and the other is ten years old.The rules of other villages are different from those of Sanjia Village, the older generation is still there, and the Zhou family has not yet been separated.There are three sons and two daughters in the second room, and three daughters and one son in the third room, although everyone lives together, but the mother-in-law, concubine, brothers and sisters get along very well.The eldest son of the second room has been married, and the good day is set for March next year, so even if Zhou Changxiu's family affairs are decided, he will not come to marry until the year after tomorrow.The situation of the Zhou family is not bad, and they can keep their eldest daughter for two more years, Xu Shuncheng is more and more satisfied, and repeatedly thanked Zhao Lingling, and left her for dinner.Zhao Lingling politely refused and said goodbye and went home
