Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 517 Ma Family Backyard
In the backyard hall of the Ma family, several old ladies, aunts, and young wives and girls were looking at people coming in, either with bright eyes or shyly.

As Ma's Da Huzi led six or seven young men to lift the heavy cotton curtain and come in to greet the old ladies, they started talking all of a sudden.

Liar, this is just a blind date party in disguise, and it is a blind date party for the girl from Majiaao and the boy from Qinghe Village. Zhou Banxia saw the truth at a glance.

There is a fireplace next to me, and on the stove is a pot of red date, wolfberry and honey water. The honey was brought by the girl from Majiaao. The tea tastes good.

But she didn't dare to drink too much. She took a sip and held the cup with both hands to keep warm, waiting for Ma Shan, who was flying back and forth like a butterfly, to return to her original position.

The original seat was on her left, and on her right sat Xiao Baoya. When it came to protecting her children, her sister-in-law was at the top of the list.

The little girl was afraid that someone would bump into her sister-in-law, so she didn't sit on the chair, but moved a low stool and sat a little in front of her right side.

It would be better if it was a little bit further forward.

——This mountain is opened by me, and these trees are planted by me. If you want to pass through this road, please leave some money for passage!

Ma Dahu did not keep the women in the hall for long. In about a cup of tea, he took away a small group of young men whose faces were red but not obviously black, but almost trembling.

Ma Shan also returned to her original position.

Zhou Banxia looked at her with resentful eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"fraud."

"Is it interesting?"

Zhou Banxia smiled and nodded.

"You're not angry anymore?"

"Forgive you."

The eldest sister-in-law was being bullied by the second sister-in-law again. Gu Baoya was so happy that she covered her mouth with her little hands. Anyway, her eldest and younger nephews were not afraid of being bullied at their grandmother's house, so she didn't get up.

"Several parents have been planning to marry each other off, and now that everyone has some free time, the children from each family will come to my house to take a look, and if they are satisfied, they will come to propose marriage."

Ma Shan still spoke very quietly, but Zhou Banxia had good hearing, so even Gu Baoya, who seemed a little far away, heard it.

What she really wanted to ask was, how many companies are there?
Seven or eight girls came from Majiaao, and six or seven boys came from Qinghe Village. At first, according to everyone's opinions, no one emphasized who was with whom.

Could it be that she really hasn't grown up to ten years old and can't understand?

"How many pairs do you think we can make?"

Zhou Banxia glanced at the female soldiers who were gathered in a group not far away or on the other side. Now the mothers of both the boys and girls were sitting together, which made the situation a bit messy.

For example, her mother was sitting among them, but her brothers Dajiang and Xiaohe did not like the girl.

Recalling the shy looks of the boys and girls in the hall before, Zhou Banxia replied softly with an uncertain tone: "Three pairs?"

Since we are talking about several parents and also asking how many couples can be formed, a conservative estimate is that there should be at least two couples who are truly interested in each other, but they are not just divided.

It's possible that the children of both parents are interested in the other girls or boys. "Who would have thought of so many people accompanying them?"

"My mother. It's good to have so many people. It's a good marriage if you find someone you like." Ma Shan whispered, pressing her hand on Zhou Banxia's shoulder.

Indeed, a man who loves a woman and a woman who is willing to marry is better than a blind marriage. Zhou Banxia nodded in understanding and changed the subject to ask when the feast would start. "Are you hungry?"

Zhou Banxia made a "six" gesture. She ate six meals a day, and no one would be as hungry as her. "Eat early and leave early. Aren't your aunt and the others going home?"

Ma Shan understood. San Ya was worried that it would be difficult for her aunt and the others to walk along the mountain road if it was too late. "Actually, my Majiaao is halfway up the mountain, about the same height as the mountain behind the workshop."

I was stupid. The mountain behind the workshop was so close, right under my nose, and the mountain road was easy to walk on. The mountain at Majiaao was more complicated, and the key point was that it was located in a mountain basin.

Although there will be no mudslides at this time of year, the mountain roads are very slippery and difficult to walk on when it snows, so it is naturally easier to travel during the day.

However, no matter how good the relationship was, it was hard to say these words. Zhou Banxia nodded with a look of sudden enlightenment, "Yes, I was just worried about how hard it would be to walk after dark."

Ma Shan couldn't help but smile, "Next July, I will take you and my sister to live in Majiaao for a while. The weather will be the hottest then, and it will be the most comfortable to live there.

By that time, you will have given birth to your child, who will be a few months old. It will be a good time for me to take you swimming, it will be very cool..."

Talking about swimming in such a cold weather, it’s so cold, Gu Baoya muttered to herself and glanced at her second sister-in-law. Sure enough, her second sister-in-law shrank her neck, haha!
The Ma family's lunch was as extravagant as usual, with huge chunks of meat, braised, stewed, and roasted, served in bowl after bowl, and a whole lamb was being roasted outside.

Every time Zhou Sishun came to the Ma family for a meal, he felt both pain and happiness.

The meat prepared by Brother Ma is enough for his family to eat for a year. How can he not be happy? But he also feels bad. After eating it, why doesn’t he treat others in return?
He was thinking, what's the point of inviting? Everyone knows that Zhou Changshun is notorious for being stingy, but he still has to consider his child's face.

It's so annoying. They always hold banquets. But the roasted whole lamb is really delicious. His San Ya likes the crispy skin very much.

When the meal started, Gu Wenxuan turned his attention to his father-in-law.

Seeing the roasted whole lamb coming up, Zhou Sishun glanced towards the Ma family's backyard repeatedly, thinking that no one noticed. This made him very happy. How could the Ma family let his wife down?

Even if outsiders didn't know how well his wife had treated her pregnant sister-in-law, everyone in the Ma family knew about it, so they had to return the favor.

Besides, his wife is a wealthy dog ​​farmer and her workshop lays golden eggs one after another. No matter what the purpose is, the Ma family never treats his wife unfairly.

Zhou Banxia was indeed very popular. There was no need for her mother, Mrs. Li, to pick food for her out of fear that her daughter would be too shy to eat and would go hungry. Her bowl and plate were already filled with food.

Mrs. Liu knew very well that her daughter-in-law, like her son, did not like to eat dishes picked for her by outsiders, so she had no choice but to take a bite or two with her chopsticks.

She did not lend a hand or refuse to stop them, and instead made a bowl of soup that did not seem too greasy for her daughter-in-law to drink slowly.

So, her San Ya didn't refuse to visit someone's house out of courtesy, especially since she was pregnant and didn't want to trouble anyone.

If it weren't for Aunt Ma being so polite and repeatedly instructing the servants to ask San Ya to come, there would be no need for her to join in the fun and she wouldn't have been able to eat well.

Zhou Banxia didn’t know what her mother-in-law was thinking, otherwise she would definitely say no.

There was soup to drink and steamed buns to eat, and she could listen to people talking while eating. It was lively and she could join in the fun.

What a beautiful misunderstanding.

Seeing her old daughter-in-law eating the simplest two meals and smiling the whole time, behaving properly and politely responding to everyone, Liu felt even more distressed.

She even forgot whether the four members of the Tian family, who had not left the Gu family's old compound until her family left, were still thinking about her family.

After the banquet, when Liu came out of the Ma family and planned to go to the manor for a walk, she realized that she had not yet asked Aunt Cai whether the family had left.

"gone."
