I farmed and raised children in ancient times

Chapter 116 The Matchmaker Comes to the Door
Mrs. Chen, who went to see the village yesterday, woke up more energetic this morning. It is a big expense for her daughter to raise so many people at once. It was gone, and people stayed, and it was useless to say more, she could only resign herself to making more cakes and earning more money to help her daughter fill this hole, although Xie Zhilan didn't need her help.

"Sister Chen, don't blame Alan anymore. She is kind-hearted. If I had the ability, I would take them in..." Third Aunt Li persuaded while helping to make cakes.

Chen's face had been gloomy when she came to work early this morning. Third Aunt Li also returned to the village yesterday, so she naturally knew what happened.

"That's right! You have to trust Alan, I think she can do it, so don't worry!" Doctor Hu's daughter-in-law also echoed.

Originally, their family hired a few daughter-in-laws to make cakes, but Dr. Hu's daughter-in-law and the others couldn't stay idle. The women talked and laughed together early in the morning and worked together faster, and they got used to it over time.

Chen forced a smile, and said: "Don't worry, there is nothing you can do now. Those people are really pitiful. Otherwise, I would have stopped her yesterday. I am angry that this girl is always impulsive. In case What can I do if I can't afford it one day?"

"According to me, just put your heart in your stomach! Look at the land in our village has been planted now, and the houses are being rebuilt. They are still brick houses. What does this mean? It means that our days will only get worse in the future. It's better to come! In the future, if your family can't afford it, we can help, right?"

Chen's heart warmed, and finally she smiled, "It's not easy for everyone in such a large group, how can I rely on you to raise them? That's all! Let's see what flowers that girl can make."

Everyone finished making the pancakes for the morning while talking and joking, each packed up and was ready to go out, but they heard someone knock on the door, and Xie Zhilan who had just finished eating hurried to open the door.

"You are……"

She stared blankly at her mother, Mrs. Chen, and really never imagined that she would know such a local tyrant just by selling cakes on the street.

Xie Zhilan was a little stunned, she casually opened the nanmu box in the hands of one of them, only to find a crimson bead the size of a pigeon egg inside, and she could tell from the color that it was expensive.

"Ouch! It's not good for a good thing to come to your door, let us stand outside the door all the time, right?"

Aunt Li next to her looked at Xie Zhilan and hesitated to speak.

When the woman saw Xie Zhilan, she immediately greeted her with a smile all over her face: "Hey! This is Miss Xie, right? I am the most famous matchmaker in Qingping County. Today coincides with the auspicious day of the zodiac, so I came here specially." Your marriage proposal..."

Xie Zhilan's heart skipped a beat, she turned her head to look at Chen Shi in the yard, "Auntie, when did you start making kisses again behind my back?"

At first, Third Aunt Li thought that Mr. Lu was a kind person, but after a few observations, she found that Mr. Lu ignored everyone except Chen's crispy pancake stall, so she knew it.

If the current Chen family stood with Xie Zhilan, those who didn't know would probably mistake them for sisters!
"Master Lu? Auntie! Why haven't you given up yet?" Xie Zhilan couldn't believe it.

She took a low breath of air!
"Who is so generous?"

"Auntie?"

Her praise is indeed from the heart.

When Xie Qing, who came out next to him, heard this, he immediately waved his hands in fright, "Don't! Auntie, I'm still young! I don't want to be engaged!"

Mrs. Chen got married early and gave birth early. Although it is indeed difficult to bring up two children alone after the death of a man, she is thin and delicate, and her food has changed again and again since Xie Zhilan came. This one After many months, it will make people extremely hydrated.

It's just that Mrs. Chen was lukewarm towards Mr. Lu, and she didn't want to ask too many questions, but she didn't expect that the other party finally couldn't help asking a matchmaker to come to the door. This shows that Mrs. Chen must have been in love with Mrs. Chen for a long time.

Xie Zhilan didn't know, but Third Aunt Li had already understood that the matchmaker was not here for Xie Zhilan, but for Mrs. Chen.

The matchmaker Wang grabbed Xie Zhilan's arm and walked in. It was only then that Xie Zhilan noticed that there were seven or eight people behind the matchmaker, each holding something in their hands, different in size, but The outer packaging is all tied with red silk, which looks very festive.

Seeing the embarrassment on Chen's face, the matchmaker Wang couldn't help laughing, she came over with a ouch and patted Xie Zhilan's delicate smile and said, "Miss Xie, don't be upset, this marriage Ah, I didn't tell you."

Didn't you say it well before, don't worry, wait a few years to talk about it.

I saw that her round and fair face seemed to have been carefully painted with several layers of powder, and a flower was lightly painted on her forehead, and there were two gold hairpins with tassels inserted in her high combed hair. It's not a style to shake it.

Standing outside the door was a woman in her thirties and 40s, wearing brand-new clothes, the red top and bottom green were dazzling.

Matchmaker Wang is used to having a cold face, and she didn't care about Chen's questioning. She walked around Xie Zhilan, walked up to Chen, looked at Chen, and said with a smile: "No wonder Mr. Lu is so caring. The lady is really good-looking." , and look so young!"

Xie Zhilan was stunned, "Could it be my younger brother? That's even worse!!"

Wasn't her good aunt introduced Master Lu from Qingping County?At that time, my mother was still moved, but didn't she refuse later?
"Alan, it's not like this, don't misunderstand..." Chen hurriedly explained.

Just now she heard clearly that the man asked her to be a matchmaker, and that he dared to take a fancy to her younger brother, he really didn't know what to do! !

Matchmaker Wang glanced back and said with a smile: "These are gifts prepared by the man, no matter what the result is, they are considered gifts to your family. How about it? The man is generous enough, right?"

Several times, Aunt Li would go to Chen's stall to help out after selling pancakes, so she met Mr. Lu several times.

Chen's complexion was a bit ugly, she clenched her palms tightly and didn't look at Xie Zhilan, but looked at the matchmaker Wang with an unfriendly expression, "Who told you to come?"

"This is……"

Every time the master of that road would always say hello to Mrs. Chen, and then buy all the remaining cakes with a big wave of his hand, and then leave cheerfully in Mrs. Chen's silence.

During this period of time, Aunt Li not only had the money to buy medicine for her mother-in-law by selling crispy cakes, but also saved a lot for herself.When you have money in your hands, you will naturally feel better, and you will be more motivated.

Chen: "..."

Although the son is still young, there is really no need to rush to get engaged, but the problem is that both children are so resistant to getting married, what will happen in the future!

Could it be possible to let her, a mother, set an example? ?

At this thought, Chen's cheeks instantly burned.
