Thousands of years

Chapter 99

With the personality of a master, she definitely wouldn't urge Sister He to get married early.If the strange woman who was able to sacrifice for the happiness of others back then had a bit of culture, it would not be impossible to be a teacher in a university now.

It's just that the sister of the He family is getting older and older. On this basis, not only does her appearance remain unchanged, she also adds a bit of perseverance brought by the years. No matter who looks at it, she wants to take it home... …

What's more, the elder sister of the He family was judged as a well-known Qiaoer by her own ability, so she gave up the invitation of the owner of Dajifang and continued to stay with the master.

After a few years, when the master is old, this machine shop will undoubtedly belong to sister He's family. Those who are interested will see the sweetness in the industry and dare not venture into it by themselves, so they will naturally fall in love with this girl with a family background.

Just like when the elder sister of the He family helped the spirit to go to the funeral, among those who pursued her, there were always those with impure minds. If they just go on like this, it is impossible for a master to protect his disciples for a long time—not to mention The younger sister who grew up smoothly under the wings of her elder sister has also reached the age of marriage.

So this time, the matchmaker came to the door. There is a son from a family in the east of Yan Ming City, who is two or three years younger than the sister of the He family. He heard that there is a military academy in the south, and he is eager to join the army. He will overthrow the fatuous rule of the Beiyang government. .

When people get old, they just want to live and live, and they have long been swallowed by darkness and chaos. They are neither insensitive nor selfless enough to send their only descendants out to fight for a group of unfamiliar people.

It would be fine if there were many children in the family, but the parents had a son when they were old, and they couldn't bear to let the only son die like this for nothing... So the two elders thought of using the family to restrain their children, and wanted to find a marriage for them.

"Father, mother, I am not good enough for a girl from the He family." Even though the elder sister of the He family is now twenty, she is still a fairy that ordinary people can only dream of, so the Ning family boy naturally knows.

Everyone wants to marry the elder sister of the He family. Apart from her beauty and the financial resources she can bring to her husband's family in the future, she will not have the infinite charm brought by her personality. Therefore, even the Ning family boy can't be refined. He has always admired Sister He's sister.

"That girl's master has agreed to meet you two, since you know she is a good girl, if you get her favor, you should treat her well.

Not to mention whether I am worthy of such a fairy, but the latter accepts me. With my own temperament, I can't give the other party long-term stability, and that will delay the girl's life.Even though his father said so, the Ning family boy flinched.

"Father, forget it."

As a son, he knows what his father is thinking, and even more knows that he is now dedicated to joining the army, but fighting on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, how can he be safe every time?

What's more, although joining the army is to fight for the rights of democracy, and it is really a teacher of justice, but after all, it is to fight against the Beiyang warlords who now have the ruling power. If they fail, they may even hurt their families...

No matter what the boy of the Ning family said, the two finally met under the arrangement of the elders and the matchmaker. The former was dressed up like a big girl who was about to get married, and sister He's became the one who judged and picked .

"In today's women's family, they must have their own skills and abilities to stand by themselves, so that they can really stand on their feet and stand on top of one another." Master Rushi said to the mother of the boy in the Ning family.

Since the overthrow of the feudal monarchy, after the Paris Peace Conference, the young people stood up and led the land of Kyushu, which had been sleeping for a long time, with awakened thoughts.

Equality between men and women is a ray of light that clears the fog - when women's value to society is respected, they will have greater enthusiasm to contribute to society and contribute to the country.

The matchmaker is matchmaking in the middle, just to make the two of them more familiar and make it easier for them to match.

As the master, he thought that only by asking about the situation could not guarantee how the family is doing. If he wanted to make his disciples live well in the future, he had to know more about the Ning family, so he also chatted with the Ning family boy's mother.
"If it's just those gossips, it really doesn't matter to my disciples. I've heard too many bad words. It's just that they are jealous."

As a master, he doesn't hide a single bit of his words, and the other party's desire to ask for his apprentice also has a purpose. Of course, he doesn't have to hide it. It's better to rely on someone who has never met before and talk nonsense about falling in love at first sight. Come securely.

As for the two living together for a long time in the future, if there is any nostalgic feeling, it is their own business. After all, my disciples do not lack a man to take care of the family affairs.

"Now that the girl is getting older, there are always those blind people who think that my apprentice can't live without them, and this little thought becomes more active."

"It's a marriage without feelings. Instead of asking my apprentice to find a rich and immoral family, it's better to find an honest one... Of course, if I have a heart for my apprentice, it would be the best .”

Now that she is the master of Sister He's sister, she really treats her as her own daughter. As long as she is a normal elder, she must seek a lifetime of happiness for her children.

Both parties have legitimate goals, and it is clear from the elders, and they are both satisfied with each other-it is much better to have a clear purpose than to know it after marriage.

"I heard that you came on a blind date just because your parents prevented you from joining the army?" He Qinglian, the elder sister of the He family, didn't want to think too much about such a waste of her own time, so naturally she didn't make any troubles.

Ning Shouyun, the boy of the Ning family, naturally wanted to explain a few words after hearing this: In fact, he admired He Qinglian in the first place, but when he remembered his purpose, he decided to keep silent.

It's just that Ning Shouyun didn't expect He Qinglian to follow up and said, "A man's ambition is in his home country, which is my favorite character. There is no love between the two, and this marriage is just for me to avoid some unnecessary troubles." Trouble, if you are willing, it will save my master to find another man for me."

"If your parents want the Ning family to have a queen, it's not impossible to wait until everything in the machine workshop stabilizes."

Marriage without love is an exchange of benefits. He Qinglian is very clear about it. In today's age, it is not easy to live a stable life. There is nothing wrong with finding someone with similar interests to spend the rest of your life with.

"Even if you go to the army now, I don't care. Or when you and I leave a son and a half, you don't have to worry, even though serving the country and the people... With my craftsmanship, life at home is still the same. Affordable."

He Qinglian's series of words only made Ning Shouyun stunned and stunned. Although I heard others say that this elder sister of the He family is so frank and forthright in her work, she is a top girl, but she really didn't expect that she can do things that she hasn't mentioned yet. Arranged thoroughly by the former.

"This girl looks like a modern person." Listening to the story told by my grandfather, An Ji smiled, "If it is now, she should be a career-oriented strong woman, man? That is a stumbling block that prevents me from being promoted!"

Just kidding, not all men are stumbling blocks, for example, Ning Yunfan and An Ji are the ones who advance and retreat together.

In the final analysis, a long-term relationship depends on the division of labor between men and women in society. A real marriage should never become a bondage for either party's personal life within the legal and moral standards.

"It's a pity that this girl was born at that time. If it was after the founding of the People's Republic of China, or if you are in your current age... hey!" I have to say that He Zhenhua, who is a grandfather, has three views, otherwise he would not have cultivated such a daughter and granddaughter.

"Grandpa, it is precisely because of their self-reliance and self-improvement back then, and the dedication of countless ancestors, including many men who stood up as vested interests at that time to speak out for equality between men and women, that is why today's society exists, isn't it?"

"So... there is no need to sigh. The development and progress of an era always requires sacrifices of blood and tears and thousands of helplessness. As long as we remember these heroes who risked for us, their sacrifices are worthwhile. We should Happiness is."

"Well, happy, happy!" He Zhenhua nodded, then turned his head away and raised his hand.

An Ji knew that grandpa must be crying, but he didn't point it out—the tears of the older generation may be the result of the blood of the ancestors. It seems that when they have not dried up, whenever they mention the past years, they always flow unstoppable.

In fact, what An Ji doesn't know is that not only the older generation, but also every generation, when enjoying everything brought by the predecessors, tears will be in their eyes for everyone who gave.

Unless the people stepping on this land of sincerity since ancient times have no heart, who would not hide their faces for those united efforts, those painful experiences, those partings and reunions?
"You, you mean, you mean, are you willing to marry me?" Happiness came so suddenly, Ning Shouyun even forgot that the purpose of his trip was to refuse, so he stuttered.

"Why, is it because I didn't make it clear?"

Seeing the blushing cheeks of this person who was two years younger than himself, He Qinglian also felt very interesting for a while. It was the first time in so many years that he saw such a reaction from others. Had a time like this?
"Yes, I am willing to marry you, on the premise that you can't learn the weaving skills from me and pass them on to outsiders."

"Especially those who occupy Qingdao..." While speaking, He Qinglian's hands that were originally placed on the table unconsciously clenched, trembling slightly because of the master's excitement, making the already slender hands look strong and helpless ,
"I don't even look down on those scumbags in Beiyang who harm the country and the people, let alone those who are domineering on the land of China!"

When He Qinglian mentioned Shandong, which had been forcibly occupied after the Paris Peace Conference, Ning Shouyun was no longer in awe of the panic between his young children just now. A child who was just twenty-nine had frightening determination in his eyes.

"Okay, you can just talk to your parents. As for the ceremony and the like, if your family can't afford it, I won't force anything, let alone stick to those procedures and forms."

"As for the dowry, even if I marry into your family, the silver dollars and Luo Jin I carry with me will be used for the two of you and me. As for the machine workshop, it is still my master's property. I'm alone..."

"If the things in the machine workshop are done late, I won't go home to live, and I don't want to hear any gossip from the streets and alleys."

It is a good thing for He Qinglian to say all these things before, and it is not a disadvantage for Ning Shouyun.The left and right of the latter is not the former's industry, nor is the former's love for the latter.

"The betrothal gift and betrothal gift are indispensable." After a moment of brain fever just now, Ning Shouyun also sorted out his thoughts, knew what He Qinglian meant, and even made his thoughts clear, "After all, you He came with a dowry, and it would be wrong for my family to be filthy."

The matchmaker's heart is like a mirror for what kind of character sister He's has. After the two families have settled the marriage and even set the order of the next things, the matchmaker will realize how smooth today is.

"In this way, there is no need to combine the horoscope, just please choose a good day and auspicious day for me to make arrangements for my apprentice."

Although this marriage is just for the two families to get what they need, it is absolutely impossible for the master to wrong his own apprentice, and he must do enough pomp and ostentation, lest the unsightly news will be ruined. Not well-informed, he will bully him when he finds an opportunity.

"That's natural, that's natural!" The matchmaker was even more excited than having taken a lot of silver dollars for those big families to say goodbye to a marriage that was impossible in the eyes of others so easily.

After all, based on the marriage that has been said this time, when it gets out, I will naturally become famous, and of course there will be many people who come to ask me to talk about marriage!
"This, leave it to you."

When Ning Shouyun learned that his blind date was a sister of the He family, Ning Shouyun still harbored some desire in his heart, otherwise he would not have come to the door with a gift at this time.

Thinking about the words he had engraved on it, Ning Shouyun sneered, blushing and pressed the box that He Qinglian had already opened: "You can read it after I leave."

"Okay." He Qinglian responded quickly, but the smile on his face made Ning Shouyun even more embarrassed, so he almost rushed out the door covering his face.

"No wonder, isn't this the same as when a boy sees his goddess now, he chases her right away?"

He Zhenhua finally found out that the child was still cute when he was young, but now An Ji knows a lot, but from time to time he has to insert a few sentences, making himself forget the next sentence after saying the last sentence: "Grandpa can't remember it firmly in his head now, wait until he speaks." Let's talk after the story!"

An Ji kept nodding, the grandfather just smiled, looking at the granddaughter in front of him who was not a little shorter than himself, thinking of the time when he could hold the latter high, he secretly sighed in his heart that he was old, he should be young It's time for people...

"Sure enough, I'm still a child. I blushed without saying anything." Not long after Ning Shouyun left, He Qinglian opened the box, and inside lay a large lacquer comb with snails on it, with a "ripple" crookedly engraved on it. 'Character.

In fact, just now He Qinglian had peeped through the gap to see the contents of the box, and wanted to say "I have a heart", but Ning Shouyun was too shy, and ran away without saying anything.

"The seniors who went to the battlefield at that time were still children..."
