Chapter 213 There is a happy event

The snow-falling mountain village is a poetic picture scroll without ink dyeing.

The bear child who was greedy for the bed in the past, didn't need his parents to call him early in the morning, so he couldn't wait to put on his cotton padded clothes and yelled at his friends and friends to go out to play in the snow. The white snow was covered with small footprints, and for a while, the brat who was flushed red from the cold made a piece of the white picture scroll like a dog chewing on a pig.

There is even a mischievous kid who, while his little friend was under the tree, shook the tree violently, then ran away with a loud voice, and laughed so hard when he saw his little friend being smashed into a little old man by falling snow. Then, he was overturned on the snow by his little friend's revenge, rolled into a ball, and laughed everywhere.

When the cooking smoke rose, the bear child was dragged home by the ears of the furious mothers.

"Father, why don't you go today?" Mother Chen looked at the snowflakes falling outside the door while eating breakfast, and said to Father Zhu who was buried in his meal.

Father Zhu raised his head from the bowl and glanced outside the door when he heard the words, slammed his mouth, swallowed the rice porridge, wiped his mouth indifferently and said, "That's so, I promised Shanghe Village yesterday. Aunt Zhao is driving her to visit relatives in the town, and in this snowy day, I don't know how many people still point at our ox cart.

"Blessings will not be enjoyed!" Mother Chen said angrily.

After a while, mother Chen put down her chopsticks and looked out for a while, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, so the boss took two cakes and went to clear the snow for Juan'er's house. I don't know how to drink a bowl of hot soup." go again."

Zhu's father said while eating, "Juan'er's family will give the boss hot soup, so don't worry about it, Juan'er's family is very rare for the boss now."

"What do you know, her family is as willing as ours to cook the porridge so fragrant, but you don't have to feel sorry for the firewood." Mother Chen choked Zhu's father, and said that the eldest son went out early in the morning with cakes for his future father-in-law. Sweeping Snow was a bit brooding.

"I don't understand you yet, so you'll be jealous. That's all right. Boss swept the snow in our house before going out." Father Zhu picked up another piece of cake and ate it.

"Who is jealous, I feel sorry for the boss." Chen's face blushed slightly when she heard this, but her mouth was hard, and then changed the subject, "When it comes to the boss, I miss the second little one again. How long has it been? Well, why haven't there been any letters yet?"

"I'm coming back soon. It's not once or twice that I have traveled far away. If you can take care of yourself, you can put your heart in your stomach." Zhu father put down the cake in his hand and comforted Chen.

"If the second little one doesn't come back for a day, I can't let go of my heart. Oh, I almost forgot, when I mentioned the pig, I remembered, didn't I go to town with the boss yesterday, guess who I ran into." Chen Shi bumped into Father Zhu with his arm, and asked with sparkling eyes.

Father Zhu heard that he almost choked on the bite of cake in his mouth, how could he guess that? !

"Er Gouzi his mother?" Father Zhu tentatively said a name.

"Qi, I know you can't guess. I met the daughter of the rich man Li in Shanghe Village. She was the little girl who came to play with Zhu'er several times when she was young. I looked like a fairy in the sky that day, but it was beautiful, and none of the girls in the village could match it. People from a long distance recognized me, my aunt, aunt, and aunt were short, well-educated, and kind-hearted. Going to the town to burn incense and pray for her father, she is a filial person. I sold things for a while, and many people praised it. I think many people want to marry home and become a daughter-in-law. You said, if we give How about the second youngest marrying the family as a daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Chen looked at Father Zhu with a warm face. Ever since meeting Li Shu yesterday, this idea seemed to have taken root in her heart.

Father Zhu shook his head upon hearing this.

"Why, isn't there something wrong with this girl?" Chen asked with a regretful face.

"What are you talking about." Father Zhu put down the cake in his hand and said to Chen Shi, "My girl is fine."

"Okay, then why are you shaking your head? Don't look at Erxiao and Shu'er are both young, so they have to settle early. Many people are thinking about it, and they will be snatched away when they are late." Chen was a little anxious.

"The girl from the Li family is nice, but I guess people don't think much of our family. I heard people say that this old Li family is not simple. They have a lot of background, and they probably don't think much of our small family." Zhu father shook He shook his head and said.

"How much background can it have?" Chen was a little unconvinced, and was very proud of her son, "My son is a scholar, why can't he be worthy of their family. My son even married a princess."

"I don't know how old he is. Anyway, he is not young. I heard that the county magistrate is very polite when he sees him. He has seen a lot of talented people. Let's marry a village girl." Father Zhu shook his head, but he couldn't explain clearly. How big is the Li family? Anyway, I have heard people say that the old Li family has a very big background in the past few years.

"A farmer's family? What's the matter? I met the girl from the Li family yesterday, and I felt that the little girl from the farmer's family is incomparable." Chen shook her head, "Besides, I guess the second little one will look down on her."

"It would be great if the pig won the exam, then their old Li family wouldn't have said anything." Chen asked with some expectation.

"Zhongju is not about planting crops, it's about right." Father Zhu curled his lips.

"Oh, by the way, I was talking about piggy with the girl from the Li family yesterday, and the girl from the Li family is also called piggy brother Ping'an, I think it's funny, oh, by the way, the girl from the Li family also said, maybe piggy I'm coming back from the exam this time. Mrs. Chen took two mouthfuls of rice and started talking again.

"I'm trying to coax you." Father Zhu curled his lips.

At this moment, I heard crackling of firecrackers outside, the sound was very loud, as if the firecrackers were the kind of thick ones that the village was reluctant to buy.

"Whose family is having a happy event? Why haven't I heard of it, marrying a wife or a daughter?" Chen stretched her neck and looked out the door, curious and puzzled. "I talked with his aunt the day before yesterday when they were taking out shoe soles, and I didn't hear them say that anyone's family is having a happy event?"

Father Zhu was also a little puzzled. According to the custom of the village, regardless of weddings and funerals, the neighbors in the village have to help out with others, but no one told him, and he didn't talk to anyone in the village.

Then I heard the outside of the village like a frying pan, there was a jingle, there were many people talking, and the footsteps were getting closer.

curious

Father Zhu and Mrs. Chen were very curious.

Soon, I heard footsteps outside the door, my own door was slammed, and there were a bunch of people chattering.

"His elder brother is about to open the door, great joy, great joy."

"Second Aunt, open the door quickly, there is a happy event."

"Hurry up and pack up, everyone in the county has arrived at the entrance of the village."

Before Mrs. Chen and Father Zhu could react, the door was pushed open forcefully, and then a lot of people came in, including neighbors, seven uncles and eight aunts, many people came, and it was very lively.
