Chapter 1325

"But it doesn't matter," said little Qian. "I'll ask your eldest brother to save more this year. Then your fourth brother will go to the capital again. I'll ask him to transport two jars for you. Aunt Rong will also make Sao Zi. Not only mutton, but pork is also very good, but the best should be beef. Unfortunately, beef is not often available. Last time I used it to make Sao Zi, it was because magistrate Yang wanted to eat it, He sent me a piece of beef... "

The aunt and sister-in-law talked about big Ya Zhou Lixin. Xiao Qian said, "early this morning, someone came to my family to invite my father. It should be to discuss the wedding date. Big Ya may get married in a few days."

Man Bao was surprised, "is it so urgent?"

Xiao Qian smiled and said, "you've just come back, so you feel that time is tight and anxious, but in fact, this marriage has been proposed for less than half a year since their family intended to start."

She said: "it was decided in October. It was supposed to be a good day on the eighth day of this month, but the family thought that you should come back for the new year. Daya was the first married person of their generation. She thought that people would have to come back together, so she put it off."

Rural people don't pay as much attention to marriage as those in the city. As long as they don't rush to the door during agricultural time, the woman won't have much opinion.

Now, the old Zhou family and the elder family are not short of money. As long as they want to have a wedding, they can do it at any time.

Little Qian lowered his voice and said, "if we don't do it before the new year, we will be busy farming soon after the new year. We are certainly not willing to let Da Ya marry at that time, so we have to wait until the Qingming Festival is over and the seedlings are planted in the field. Guan Yong is not young. His family still wants to marry his daughter-in-law earlier. "

It's convenient to be with others and yourself. We want to be in laws. Although we want to earn face for each other's children, we also need to be considerate to each other. Therefore, Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian agreed to get married years ago. Today, old Zhou tou and Zhou Dalang went to grow up at home to discuss the date of marriage.

Man Bao ate up his noodles and asked, "why did dad and big brother go to their house, not to our house?"

Xiao Qian said with a smile, "I came the day before yesterday. Isn't it because your return date is uncertain, so Dad can't decide the day for a while? Who knows, they just left. You came back in the evening. Your family has received a heavy gift of asking for a period. It's always difficult to accept it for the second time. It happened that Dad heard that someone was selling cows in Dali Village. He also wanted to go and have a look, so he stopped by. "

Man Bao's eyes brightened. "Do you want to buy a cow at home?"

Little Qian nodded, "there is surplus at home. My father said to raise another cow. I can share it on weekdays. If I don't say it, I can still have calves. Now your fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother are outside. Your second brother should also take into account the business in Yizhou City from time to time. He can't take care of the work in the field. It's still tired to rely on these people at home."

Man Bao said, "please, or you'll be too tired."

Little Qian shook his head. "Where do you need to hire someone? Wheat, rice and beans are planted at the wrong time. It doesn't matter if we plant them slowly. "

Man Bao thought about it.

It's really difficult for her father to pay someone.

Man Bao's eyes crossed the yard and asked, "sister-in-law, can you build a house in the open space over there?"

Little Qian looked along her eyes and shook his head. "Our homestead has been approved. If we want to go out again, we have to go out, otherwise we can only buy it. But our family is not short of houses now. "

There is no shortage of houses for people, but there is a shortage of houses for cattle.

Man Bao took out the bowl to wash, and then sat opposite Xiao Qian and peeled the beans together. "Sister-in-law, what dowry did the family prepare for Da Ya?"

"Several quilts, new clothes, and rattan boxes. In recent years, she has received her money by herself. My mother said to give her two more copper coins for hanging and pressing boxes," said little Qian. He paused and lowered his voice: "your eldest brother and I want to give her two copper coins for hanging and pressing boxes, too."

"Is she going to stay in the village to farm when she gets married?"

Little Qian sighed, "it's too tired to farm, but she's not afraid to do it since she was a child."

Man Bao gave her advice, "sister-in-law, you let Daya continue to work in the restaurant. Give her monthly money every month and tell her family that when you get old, their family will give her the shop as a dowry."

Little Qian was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect man Bao to suddenly mention the shop. The shop was recorded in man Bao's name. He had agreed to leave it to man Bao as a dowry.

But man Bao didn't know about it, so little Qian said after a pause: "her dowry is not thin now, especially her money saved over the years, there are a lot of money. No girl in this ten mile eight village has her dowry, which is enough."

"But it's still worse than the rest of the family," man Bao thought she wanted to leave the shop to big head and third head, so he said, "sister-in-law, Lizhong is doing very well in the capital. Our family has a shop in the capital. The fourth brother is addicted to running a business now, and Lizhong has to help him occasionally. He will certainly not like your shop in the future, I asked them about Lixue yesterday. Now the best reading is Lixue except Sanya. "

Man Bao whispered, "I didn't know until I went out. There are many people who study in the world. To get ahead, it's not enough to just be able to farm and do business. You have to be able to read and test officials. Learning is not stupid. Let him go out to study. He's also suitable for his age."

Little Qian was stunned. "Can three heads be the examiner?"

"He may not be able to pass the exam, but if he has read so many books, he always has the ability to settle down," man Bao said, "so you don't have to worry about him. There's no need for this shop to stand heavy and study, so give it to Daya, so that she can relax."

Little Qian touched her head and said with a smile, "don't give it to her. I'd better take this shop first."

"Take it for you first. When you don't want to be a restaurant in the future, give it to Daya."

Xiao Qian:

Man Bao looked at her with round eyes and asked, "what's the matter, sister-in-law?"

Xiao Qian exhaled and said with a smile, "this shop will be left for you as a dowry in the future."

Man Bao didn't expect that the shop had her own business. She waved generously and said, "I don't need it. I'll buy it myself in the future. Give it to Da Ya, sister-in-law."

"That's no good. You bought this shop with your own money. It was written down in your name at the beginning," said Xiao Qian. "You have passed your thirteenth birthday and are fourteen years old. You're going to have a marriage in the next year or two. You have to prepare for all this."

Man Bao scratched his head and said, "but sister-in-law, this shop is for you. That's yours. How can you turn your hand back to me?"

"I haven't changed hands. The name above has always been yours."

Man Bao:

Man Bao thought carefully and finally found an excuse. With a serious face, she said, "sister-in-law, my cooking skills are not good. In the future, I will open a shop, which is also a medicine shop. It is absolutely impossible to open a restaurant."
