"Five years?!"

Aunt Xie was a little shocked, she thought to herself: I heard that if you have to observe filial piety for five years, you will be able to perform filial piety after three years. By then, Chun'er will be eighteen. Isn't it too old to be old? No, no. .

"Well, most of us keep filial piety for one or two years, and at most three years are the best. How can we keep filial piety for five years?"

"Hey, we just want to do a good job of filial piety for our parents. What is five years, even ten years should be."

After hearing Wen Xiang's unbelievable words, Aunt Xie immediately showed an expression of "you are all idiots".

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? If you don't get married for ten years, that's a huge disobedience. Stop talking nonsense."

"Then let's keep our filial piety for five years." Since that's the case, Wen Xiang took the second best thing, and insisted on not letting go.

Aunt Xie was speechless, and dared to say that she tried her best for a long time, but this girl didn't listen to a word, it was a waste of effort.

Alas, my heart is so tired, forget it, forget it, there is no way to communicate with her.

Aunt Xie immediately got up and said goodbye, and found another way to go.

Seeing the back of Aunt Xie leaving in a hurry, Wen Xiang sighed silently, she fully understood what Aunt Xie was thinking, and said that the reason for keeping her filial piety for five years was to let her retreat in spite of difficulties.

Wen Sanjin and Aunt Xie are a typical rural couple. They have the most simple qualities of farmers, such as simplicity, kindness, and self-sufficiency.

But they also have bad roots passed down from generation to generation, such as short-sightedness, selfishness, jealousy, and numbness.

Their ability is mediocre, so they are a bit slippery. While adhering to their duties, they want to take shortcuts and achieve cornering overtaking, but they are often inseparable from their one-acre three-point land for life.

This is an ordinary, typical, lower-middle-class rural family.

Chun'er, who was born in this family, is hardworking, capable and honest, so he can be said to be a good match for a farmer.

It's a pity that the eldest brother doesn't want to be a farmer anymore, and according to her observation, the eldest brother has no idea about Chun'er, and the two of them are destined to have no relationship.

Becoming in-laws with such a family is not within the scope of Wen Xiang's plan to farm, make a fortune, and finally reach the pinnacle of life.

Wen Xiang is a staunch supporter of free love, so let her break this unrequited love mercilessly.

However, Aunt Xie couldn't comprehend this kind of tactful refusal, she turned her head and appeared in front of her aunt Zhang who had heard about it.

Looking at Mrs. Xie who was carrying a basket of fresh eggs, Mrs. Zhang was a little confused: We are not very familiar.

It wasn't until Mrs. Xie tactfully expressed her intention of coming that Mrs. Zhang realized it. She silently calculated in her heart: which one is this?fourth?Or fifth?

It's been two years since I heard that Dao has been in mourning. It is reasonable to say that I can talk about others, but have there been more people who have come to inquire recently?
Since Wen Dao went to study again, for several days in a row, several families have come to inquire about the facts. In view of the large number of people who asked, she finally summoned up all her energy to deal with it.

Originally, Mrs. Zhang didn't pay much attention to Wen Dao's marriage. She originally thought that no good family would be interested in a down-and-out kid.

But a few days ago, Chief Jia's wife He Shi came to sell her daughter, and yesterday, Xu Shi, the third oldest wife in the village, also came to listen to her aunt, niece and granddaughter.

In Zhang's eyes, these two families are not bad, and they are more than enough to match the rumors of "one poor and one white".

Unexpectedly, another one came today, and Mrs. Zhang took a look at Mrs. Xie. This family was not within the scope of her expectations, and they were poor and incompetent.

Obviously, although Mrs. Zhang doesn't care much about Wen Dao, if there is a better choice, she certainly hopes that her nephew can find a good wife, and maybe she can help her family in the future, and at the very least, she can save herself a little trouble It's also good.

"I understand what you mean. Chun'er is a good girl, but Dao'er's marriage has to be decided by his uncle."

"That's right," Aunt Xie smiled, and then asked again, "Then what does his uncle mean?"

Mrs. Zhang wondered, why is this person so ignorant, but his face did not reveal anything, and he declined politely: "What his uncle means is, let's talk about it in a year or two."

"That's it." Mrs. Xie looked disappointed.

"Chun'er is almost fifteen, hurry up, don't delay." Mrs. Zhang pretended to remind, but what she really wanted to say was: don't think about our family's news.

Aunt Xie walked out of Wen Zhong's house dejectedly. The more she thought about it, the worse she got. When she told her man about it at night, the two of them thought about it for a long time, but they still couldn't give up.

What can I do if I don't give up?The two turned their gazes to the courtyard next door at the same time.

"Why don't you ask Chun'er to serve Wen Dao?" Wen Sanjin had a whim.

"What? What do you mean?" Aunt Xie glared at Sanjin angrily.

"Oh, what I mean is, I heard that when he is studying in the academy, he needs someone to take care of him, and he doesn't have a book boy. Let Chun'er help him wash clothes, cook and so on, so we can take the opportunity to cultivate relationships. .”

After hearing her man's explanation, Aunt Xie's eyes lit up, and she felt that this move was good. If she heard that she liked her daughter and proposed to marry Chun'er, it would be easy.

"However, I just said that Chun'er should accompany Wen Xiang at night."

"Accompanying Wenxiang is not as important as accompanying Wendao."

"That's right, how should I say this?"

"In my opinion, there is no need to say anything, just do it."

"How?"

The slippery Wen Sanjin immediately went to his mother-in-law's ear and whispered a few words, which made Aunt Xie frown and hesitate at the same time.

"That's it." Wen Sanjin made the final decision.

While Wen Sanjin and his wife were discussing countermeasures, Wen Zhong's family was also discussing Wen Dao's marriage.

"His father, Dao'er has been filial piety for more than two years, shouldn't it be time to show filial piety?"

"Oh, it's been two years." Wen Zhong looked melancholy.

Seeing that her man was about to fall into the worry of missing his brother again, Zhang quickly interrupted: "I mean, should his marriage be put on the agenda?"

Wen Zhong frowned: "For no reason, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"It's not for no reason. In the past few days, several families have come."

Mrs. Zhang told all the people who had consulted Wen Dao about her marriage during this period of time, and finally asked: "In your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

"Let's say no."

"What? Reject all of them? Why? Those two families are pretty good." Mrs. Zhang was anxious.

"Those two families are good for the people in the village, but can our Daoer still be the people in the village?"

"He's not from the village, who is he?"

"You are really a woman's opinion. Dao'er is a person who wants to study, how can he marry these country girls?"

"Hey, going to school is something you can see and can't touch. When can you count on it?"

"No matter when, it's impossible to marry a village girl." Wen Zhong flatly refused.
