The next day, early morning!

Li Yi was woken up early in the morning by the loudspeaker in the village. It was Feng Kai's notice calling the villagers to gather to build roads.

Although Li Yi didn't need to build roads, he still dressed and got up after hearing the announcement from the loudspeaker.

Because my mother and Matchmaker Zhang have already agreed to go to Cui's house to propose marriage to Xiao Xiaowa this morning.

Li Yi turned his head and looked at Jiang Xue, who was lying next to him. He felt a soft state somewhere, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the intestinal battle last night.

It's not wrong to be handsome, but my second brother is to blame!

His second brother followed him, which was really a big sin.

For most of the past six months, in order to have a second child, the second brother was squeezed by this girl till he foamed at the mouth whenever he had time, until not a drop was left.

Especially during this period, as the third sister and the eldest sister became pregnant one after another, his wife was somewhat crazy and she was really merciless in squeezing him.

As a result, he is consciously stocking up on wolfberry, deer antlers, and maca. After all, if you don’t worry about the future, you will have to worry about the near future!

Gently taking away the hand that was touching his wife's conscience, and putting down Jiang Xue's arm on his body, Li Yi sat up and started to get dressed.

However, the sound of rustling clothes still startled Jiang Xue who was standing aside. The girl opened her eyes and looked at it, and then said in a daze: "What time is it?"

"It's just six o'clock. You can sleep a little longer and I'll go fetch water from the well!"

"No, I'll get up too!"

As he said this, he also got out of the bed. Li Yi suddenly felt that his eyes were covered with snow, and somewhere where he was still lying softly, he actually had the intention of standing at attention and saluting again.

Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly found his wife's underwear from the kang nearby and handed it to her. At the same time, he asked: "Why are you getting up so early?"

Jiang Xue's face turned red and she said, "I feel sticky and uncomfortable. I want to wash it off. Besides, my eldest sister is pregnant, so I have to help."

"it is good!"

Summer clothes are relatively lightweight, so the two of them were quickly dressed.

Jiang Xue went to the kitchen to boil water for washing her face and bathing, while Li Yi carried a bucket and took Zhang Ziqiang to the well.

On the way, both Zhang Ziqiang and Zhou Wen said they wanted to help Li Yi, but he refused.

Although carrying water is tiring, it can be regarded as a way of exercising. In order to prevent the body from collapsing early, Li Yi decided to stick to it during this period.

As soon as he arrived at the well, Li Yi saw Er Gouzi there.

A little guy of twelve or thirteen years old was carrying two big buckets. In addition to being uncoordinated, it was also a bit worrying.

But this kid didn't think anything of it. After seeing Li Yi, he took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Brother Yi, you're here to fetch water too!"

"Well, what about your brother? Why did you come to carry water today?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"There were cows calfing at the cow farm in the middle of the night, so Uncle Feng called my brother away. He hasn't come back yet, so I came to fetch water!" Ergouzi replied.

"Hey, it's been a few hours, haven't you finished yet?"

"It should be okay, otherwise my brother will come back!"

"Er Gouzi, have you written the marriage letter and so on? Don't delay the marriage proposal today?" Li Yi asked again.

"It's written. Last night, my brother prepared all the things needed for the marriage proposal. I just don't know when the cow farm will finish it!" Ergouzi said.

"The cattle farm is not far from my home. I'll go over and have a look later!"

"Row"

Carrying water is really a physical job, and the distance between Li's house and the well is really not close. It actually took about an hour to make four trips.

Even though Li Yi claimed to have grown up in a rural area, he was still panting from exhaustion.

After filling the water tank, Li Yi picked up two more buckets and placed them in the yard to bask in the sun.

When the sun warms it up at noon, it can be used to wash the children's clothes or take a bath.

After doing this, he was ready to go to the cattle farm to have a look.

At this time, Jiang Xue had also finished taking a shower and was walking out of the shower room. When she saw Li Yi, she immediately asked: "Where are you going?"

"Going to the cattle farm, what's going on?"

"Wait for me, I want to see it too!" Jiang Xue said.

"It stinks there, why are you going there?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"No, I just want to go over and have a look!"

"Okay, hurry up!"    "Okay."

Soon Jiang Xue packed it up, but when Li Yi saw a small yellow basin in her hand, he asked with some confusion: "What are you doing with the basin?"

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "I'm wondering if I can squeeze some milk. Let's make a pot of milk tea tonight!"

"I said that I suddenly thought of going to the cattle farm today. It turns out that the drunkard had other agendas than drinking!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"These days it's either porridge or batter. I'm somewhat tired of eating it. Don't you want to eat something different?" Jiang Xue asked with a blushing face.

"I think, let's go quickly!"

Then, the couple took the small yellow basin and set off, aiming at the cattle farm not far away.

From a distance, the two of them smelled a pungent smell, which was the fermented smell of livestock urine and manure. It was extremely overpowering.

Fortunately, Li Yi and Jiang Xue were already familiar with this smell. Although they could not be said to be indifferent, they would not vomit when they smell it.

As soon as he came over, Li Yi saw Xiao Xiaowa, Uncle Hailiang and others walking out of the cattle farm with tired faces.

Seeing Li Yi and his wife, everyone stepped forward to say hello.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Yi asked the puppy: "How are you doing? Is it born?"

"It's been born, and it's fed milk now!" the puppy said with a smile.

"That's good. Go back and tidy up quickly. It's best to take a hot bath and put on the new clothes I bought yesterday. I will take Granny Zhang to your house to pick you up at nine o'clock!" Li Yi said.

"Row"

Just as he was talking, Jiang Xue said to Yang Genwang, the manager of the cattle farm: "Uncle Yang, do we have any cows that produce more milk in our cattle farm? I want to milk some milk!"

Yang Genwang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I will take you there!"

With that said, Yang Genwang took Jiang Xue and walked towards the inside of the cattle farm.

After a while, when she came out, the basin was already half filled with milk.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yi and Zhang Ziqiang each drove a car, took Jiang Xue and left home.

They first went to the north end of the village to pick up Matchmaker Zhang, and then came to Xiao Xiaowa's house.

By this time, Little Dog had already packed up. Although he had stayed up for half the night, he was a little tired and his eyes were bloodshot.

But after putting on the clothes Li Yi bought for him, he still looked a little handsome.

Then everyone loaded all the items needed for the engagement into the car and rushed to Cui's house.

A few kilometers away, we arrived in a short while.

The Cui family received the news yesterday, and relatives and friends were waiting at the veterinary station early.

When they saw the little puppy getting out of the car, the Cui family immediately started firing firecrackers.

Under the warm welcome of everyone, Matchmaker Zhang took the lead, followed by Little Dog, while Li Yi, Jiang Xue and others walked into Cui's house with various gifts.

It was the first time for Cui Cuiping and Da Cui to see such a carefully dressed puppy, and they were both shocked.

At this time, the puppy was wearing a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of black trousers on the lower body. The hem of the shirt was tucked into the trousers, just exposing the temporary belt around the waist.

The Jiefang shoes on his feet were also replaced by a pair of shiny black leather shoes. If his skin color was not a bit dark and rough, some people would believe that he was a young man from the city.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Matchmaker Zhang immediately used her professional skills to formally propose marriage to the girl of the Cui family on behalf of the Meng family's baby.

The marriage proposal ceremony is not complicated, but it is shocking.

The main reason is that the man was too aggressive. In addition to giving the Cui family a gift of 888 yuan on the spot, he also promised to be on duty for the bride before the wedding and a TV set.

In addition, the other betrothal gifts were even more dazzling and dizzying, which only made the group of relatives of the Cui family and the surrounding people who came to watch the fun look envious.

The whole ceremony lasted for more than an hour before it was over. According to the local custom here, a betrothal gift is given when proposing a marriage in the south, and the woman wants good wine and food to thank the matchmaker.

So after proposing the marriage, Li Yi and others stayed at Cui's house for lunch.

While Li Yi and Jiang Xue were having dinner at Cui's house, a car arrived at Nianzishan Village.
