Chapter 7

When the Cheng family moved here at the beginning of the year, there were only six people. The old man and the old lady brought their son, a family of three and an old servant.

The current old man was still an unmarried young man back then.

The Cheng family had a lot of money in their hands. There were few people in the village in those years, and the Cheng family bought a lot of land. The yard was very spacious with high stone walls.

Three buildings were built in order from east to west, and each building is divided into main room and east-west room, and there is a kitchen on the north side that can be used for cooking and heating.

In summer, when there is no need to burn the kang, it is very convenient to cook and boil water in the kitchen built out of the front yard.

The rear is even bigger, with livestock, vegetable gardens, and latrines, forming a large area, and there is a mountain not far behind the wall.

The easternmost building is the main courtyard, and the house will be bigger than the other two. The east house is where the old man and the old lady live, and the second house is Cheng Chunxiao, the unmarried youngest daughter of the Cheng family.Westinghouse is the big house.

The east side of the middle building is the second room, the west side is the third room, and the fourth and fifth rooms live in the third building. The layout is the same, but the house is slightly smaller.

The eldest son of the second house, Cheng Yunguang, is also the son of the eldest son of Cheng. Because he works as a clerk in the county government office, it is inconvenient to travel. After he got married, he rented a room in the county for him, and he would come back every now and then.

At the beginning, the Cheng family built this yard bigger, but the Cheng family was small and only built one house, but the big house with this big yard still envied all the people in the village.

But I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to give birth to six sons and three girls in one go, so this room is a little short.The other two buildings were built one after another.

When the fifth child got married at the beginning of the year, the sixth child had no place to live, so he moved to the east side of the front yard, the room where the sundries used to be placed.

Now, Yunxiu and Yunhui took the two teenagers from the Chen family, and they just turned from the backyard to the yard of Zhongdong.

"How about it, isn't our backyard big?" Cheng Jiaojiao couldn't help snickering inwardly when she heard her stupid brother's tone showing off, "The Chen family will be much stronger than the Cheng family in the future, shame on me!"

"Brother, my leg hurts..." She raised her head, pretending to be surprised, "Ah, there are guests!" Then her eyes fell on Chen Kaiwen's face, and when the other party looked back, she smiled shyly at him and lowered her head shyly.

Chen Xiucai's family is poor, although he is a scholar, he only has a few acres of land. The family has not yet made a fortune, and his sons have not seen anything in the world.

What's more, Chen Kaiwen knew that he was brought to Cheng's house today to see him.

Which boy doesn't want to have a lovely wife, but the two sisters in the first and seventh grades that he met before, one is gentle and a bit dull, and the other is like a mute who doesn't even speak, he is not very satisfied.

The one in front of her is wearing a muslin dress, fair complexion, no jewelry on her head, only a pair of small silver lilacs on her earlobes, fresh and elegant.

Looking at him with soft eyes, delicate and delicate person, and a soft voice, he didn't look like a girl in the village, but rather like the lady from the county magistrate's family he had met by chance a few years ago.

Chen Kaiwen was stunned for a moment.

Cheng Yunhui frowned slightly, and moved in front of Chen Yunkai to block his sight. Although Yunxiu was careless, he knew that it was not good for his sister to be stared at like this, "What's the matter? If it's okay, you can go and help third aunt with cooking. How busy have you been in the first day of junior high school?"

Cheng Jiaojiao cursed inwardly, but clutched the handkerchief tightly to cover her heart, with an aggrieved expression on her face, "I can't walk because of my leg pain."

Your leg hurts, why are you clutching your chest?

The two brothers of the Cheng family rolled their eyes together.

Chen Kaiwen's line of sight was blocked, and he immediately came back to his senses. He turned around without saying a word, and stopped looking at the girl who made his heart beat just by looking at her.

He knows what to do and what not to do.

Cheng Jiaojiao's gaze sank.

She knew how attractive she was like this, and that's how her husband in the previous life was seduced by that vixen.

But Chen Jia Dalang seemed unmoved, which made her a little anxious.

"Second brother..."

Cheng Yunxiu waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, stop pretending. How painful is it to kneel down? I saw you walking around grandma all morning, but I didn't see you say a word of pain, so I'm going to pretend it's the other way around."

Cheng Jiaojiao threw herself on her back!

Is there a real brother who dismantles the stage like this?

Did she owe him in her previous life?
But Cheng Yunxiu had already turned around, and the two brothers hooked shoulders together and pulled Chen Dalang to the main courtyard.

"Let's go, ignore her, my sister has a lot of things to do every day."

Chen Jia Dalang heard the word "Jiaojiao's", thought of the girl's demeanor just now, and felt that it would be great if he could marry such a girl.

He didn't want to marry a tough woman like his mother who only knew how to work and chatter!
Chu Qi, who was sitting in the yard, saw all of this.

It was almost noon, the sun was poisonous, and she had been moved by her sister to a cool and inconspicuous corner between the two courtyards.

She felt that the place her sister had found for her was too good, and everything could be seen clearly from this angle.

She leaned on her chin and was no longer confused. She glanced at Mr. Chen and then at Cheng Jiaojiao who was glaring at Yunxiu's back hatefully. She realized that she had taken a fancy to Mr. Chen.

That's right, Cheng Jiaojiao is 14 years old, so she should be anxious.

However, I'm only fourteen, my sister is one year older than her, and my sister-in-law is also 15 years old this year, so don't worry!

Cheng Peisheng was a little surprised by Chen Xiucai's intention.

"You mean getting married?"

"That's right. I originally wanted to wait until Qiu had tried it before bringing this matter up, but my mother and wife urged me, so I took the liberty to come here to discuss it with you, Brother Cheng."

In fact, he wanted to wait for Qiu to try to see the results. Although the Cheng family is good, after all, Cheng Xiucai failed in many trials. If he was selected by Cheng University but failed, this marriage would not be suitable.

But the mother knew the county magistrate's evaluation of Cheng Da, so she urged him to come to the door, "The county magistrate said that he can win, and he will definitely succeed. It will be too late for him to win the exam after you have passed the autumn test. At that time, if there is a better one, can he still like our family?"

The wife also whispered: "The family really doesn't have much money. My husband needs money to go to Fucheng and enter the capital. Although Cheng's family is not as good as those official families, it is not bad."

No matter how good those officials are, they can't look down on their Chen family.

Chen Xiucai naturally understood what his mother and wife said, thinking that he was about to go to Fucheng soon, but his family had no means to pay for it, so he gritted his teeth and planned for today's trip.

"My eldest son is also fifteen this year, and is about the same age as your eldest daughter..."

Cheng Da was a little moved.

Although the Chen family is poorer, they are also educated and respectful, and their son is well-bred...

It's just that his younger sister is a few months older than his eldest daughter, and she hasn't engaged in marriage yet. If you want to talk about kissing, you have to talk about it first.

A troubled look appeared on his face, "Brother Chen, this..."

Chen Xiucai may be poor, so he has a lot of face to face. Seeing him like this, he thought he disliked his family, stood up and lowered his head: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, I understand that Chen's family is poor, so he shouldn't have such thoughts. It's because Chen has overestimated himself."

Seeing that he misunderstood and wanted to leave, Cheng Da had no choice but to speak up, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood, I don't dislike this, it's just that my little sister is a few months older than my eldest girl and hasn't kissed yet..."

He hesitated for a while, but he still felt that the Chen family was indeed a close family. Chen Xiucai's future is difficult to say, but he should be fine in the examination, at most he could discuss it with his parents for a few years, "Would you allow me to discuss it with my parents, and give Brother Chen an answer?"
