Chapter 91
"It's my aunt's marriage."

Fat Miao'er told the story of Su Dashan entrusting Mrs. Zhou to find a marriage for Su Qingxing.

"My grandpa didn't know the situation there. I believed Grandma Zhang, so I ran over to ask."

Fat Miao'er's small mouth is as if it has been smeared with honey, one bite at a time, soft and sticky, sweet to the heart.

Mrs. Zhang heard it in her ears, and the smile in her eyes became more and more intense, and she was about to overflow.

The Zhou family helped to introduce the marriage, and Fat Miaoer came to ask her again. Doesn't it make it clear that in Fat Miaoer's heart, their old Zhang family is more trustworthy than the old Zhou family!

The old lady Zhang immediately began to talk about everything and talk endlessly.

"The conditions of the Hu family are not bad. It seems that the family has twenty acres of land. Both parents are honest and responsible people, and they are easy to get along with."

"One of his two older sisters married into Xiaoliu Village, and the other married into the town. They are both quite harmonious and beautiful, so they don't have to worry about it at home."

"The only bad thing is that his sister-in-law is quite aggressive, not a person who can make people."

"What about him himself?"

Fat Miao'er silently wrote down what Mrs. Zhang said, and went back to repeat it to Su Dashan later.

"Hu Lidong, what do you say, let's do it!"

The old lady Zhang thought for a while, and said truthfully: "I'm not tall, and I don't look unusual. I heard that I didn't make it after several visits."

"He has a good temper. He smiles when he sees people, has no temper, is down-to-earth, and capable..."

"..."

After a while.

Fat Miao'er returned home with the bean sprouts, and told Su Dashan what he had learned.

Emphasized: "He is not good-looking."

"That's not important." Su Dashan waved his hand indifferently.

As long as the arms and legs are healthy, people are not stupid. For men, what's the use of being so good-looking, and they can't be eaten.

People in the country look at each other mainly on family status and temperament. As for appearance, they don't pay much attention to it.

Now that he heard that the man was good and hardworking, Su Dashan felt relieved.

"Let your grandma arrange a meeting some other day and have a good chat. If it's okay, I'll bring your aunt over next spring."

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is rare to come out once. They don't pay attention to those tedious rules, they just read the right thing, ask the horoscope of the birthday, pay the betrothal gift, and issue the letter of appointment, and the job is over.

As for the wedding ceremony, it was all done at the man's house, and there was no process of welcoming the bride. That's how Su Qingmei, Fat Miao'er's mother, came here.

"Grandpa will come again next spring?" Fat Miaoer said.

"That must come!"

When talking about marriage, the father must be present.

"That's great!" Fat Miao'er grinned.

"Grandpa will stay here for a while longer, and I will cook meat for grandpa to make him fat."

For blood relatives like Su Dashan who can help her with work, Fat Miao'er likes it very much.

"Good! Good! Good!" Su Dashan said three times in succession, laughing heartily.

Touching Fat Miao'er's head, he said kindly: "Grandpa is waiting to eat your cooked meat."

"It's a deal!" Fat Miao'er stretched out her little finger.

Su Dashan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why.

"Let's pull the hook!" Fat Miao'er reminded.

Only then did Su Dashan come to his senses, suddenly realized, and handed his little finger up.

In the end, the two of them still did not forget to stamp their seals, agreeing that they must come next spring.

"We're back, uncle, come and help."

Outside the door, Li Xiaodao stood beside the donkey cart, shouting at the top of his voice.

Su Dashan, Su Qingfeng, Fat Miao'er, and Liu Ye'er hurried out when they heard the movement.

"I bought a big stone mill. It's quite heavy. I want my uncle to help me with it."

Li Xiaodao smiled and pointed to the donkey cart. The stone mill pulled on it had two layers and was very high. They didn't need to stand on the stones, they could just place them in the courtyard.

Su Qingfeng came out, and Su Dashan moved the stone mill out of the donkey cart.

"It's quite heavy!"

Su Qingfeng groaned, almost lost his grip.

Seeing this, Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu, and Luo Pan all joined hands, and together they moved the stone mill weighing more than one hundred catties into the yard.

"Put it there!"

Liu Ye'er pointed to an open space on the right, where it would not delay people's walking, but also be convenient for donkeys to pull the mill.

"Bang!" There was a sound, and the ground trembled three times.

Su Dashan looked at it carefully, and clicked his tongue twice: "This mill is not bad, it will cost a lot of money, right?"

There is also a stone mill on the mountain, each family picks up stones and makes a small stone mill. There really is no such big and upright one.

"One tael of silver." Wei Shu stretched out a finger.

This is the price he negotiated with others after he was almost worn out.

"So expensive?"

Su Dashan was taken aback and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

How much food can be bought for one tael of silver, and they can't earn a tael of silver all year round in the mountains.

"It's not that expensive anymore, that's the price for such a big stone mill."

Li Xiaodao thinks it is worth the money, this thing can be used for a lifetime after buying it, and the grain produced in the field can be ground at home instead of going to the mill.

"Let's grind soymilk to drink!" Fat Miao'er suggested.

"Okay, I'll go to Zhang's to buy some beans."

Wei Shu washed his face, turned around and left the house.

In the evening, the sky was getting darker and darker, and a few stars appeared in the dark blue sky, blinking their eyes and looking down on the whole small village.

Inside the courtyard.

Fat Miao'er went back to the West Room with the wooden bucket containing the frogs, put on her slippers, and went to the kang.

"What are you doing?" Liu Ye'er was startled, seeing Fat Miao'er put the bucket in the corner of the kang.

"It's cold at night, I have to keep them warm."

Fat Miao'er wrapped the bucket with a quilt, and looked at the frog in the bucket with big black eyes, as if looking at the baby first.

The disturbing sound of frogs fell in her ears and became a moving movement.

"This is the way to make money, and it must be protected."

Fat Miao'er spoke righteously, her fleshy little body rolled over, and got into Liu Ye'er's bed.

Liu Ye'er habitually opened her arms to hug him, and said softly: "It's okay to only have two frogs now, but if they really give birth to more frogs, what will you do?"

Their house is so big, there is definitely not enough space, and dozens of frogs can't meet their needs.

"I haven't thought about that yet."

Fat Miao'er turned her head and buried her little head in Liu Ye'er's arms.

"Anyway, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, let the frogs ovulate first." Fat Miaoer planned.

"Tomorrow morning, I will buy a few more buckets and catch a few pairs of frogs."

"One pair may not be successful. Catch a few more pairs and raise them in different ways. The chances are better."

"When the frog grows up, we can..."

"..."

The voice of speaking gradually disappeared, and Fat Miao'er soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

It's time to go to the market in Qingyang Town again.

Li Xiaodao harnessed the donkey cart, took Fat Miao'er, Compass, and Wei Shu to the town.

Still the old place.

They set up their stalls and were about to yell, when a few voices of discussion came to their ears.

"Have you heard, Mr. County Magistrate, I'm going to take a concubine..."
