The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 267 Children’s Matters

Once the place was available, Shiliu immediately called on the free and willing laborers from Tianbao Village to come and do odd jobs to build the workshop.

There are a lot of gravels and weeds that need to be picked up in Xianggupo, and it will take two days to clean them up.

Of course, this will be the busy time for spring sowing and farming, but it does not prevent the strong laborers from coming out to work and earn money. After all, not everyone has a lot of fields. At the moment, there are many people raising their hands to say that they are coming, and they can recruit enough in a few minutes. After a delay, it was decided to start working early tomorrow morning, without including food, for thirty-two cents a day, just like before when they built a workshop in the village.

The people in Tianbao Village now fully understand the kindness of the Li family.

Shiliu turned around and invited Master Chen, an old acquaintance who built a house and a workshop for his family, and other bricklayers to come over. He took them to see it in action and told them how to build the workshop this time.

Subsequent sand, stone, bricks and tiles were also delivered one after another, and the Xianggu Slope was very busy.

Fortunately, it's not too hot in March, so it's a good time to work.

Pomegranate was originally going to take his family to Zhoucheng to stay for a while, but this is not a new workshop. Dad Li is happy to see this boom, but he doesn't want to go to Zhoucheng for heaven's sake, so he has to stay in the village. , I run to Xianggupo every morning and evening, and I feel very energetic.

When Lao Yuan saw that Father Li was not going, she decided not to go either. The main city was so far away and it would take several days by boat. She became worried.

Mrs. Song originally wanted to go, but her husband was in the city after all, but Mrs. Lin was diagnosed to be two months pregnant.

This was her first child, so Ms. Song was naturally worried, so she took her back to the village to take care of her nearby. After all, she had given birth to several children and had experience.

There is still old Yuan at home.

Speaking of which, Li Rongbai's daughter-in-law, Wan Shi, is also pregnant and will give birth in less than two months. The old Li family is seeing children one after another.

The children of several houses are old. They are eighteen this year. Li Rongwu got married at the end of last year. Didn't he work as a waiter at the Children's Playhouse in the city? Because he is smart and knows how to get into trouble, he is called to the north of the city not far away. The old shopkeeper of a grocery store on the street fell in love with him and wanted to marry his little girl.

No, we have decided to get married in the twelfth lunar month of this year.

Li Rongyang, who is the same age as Li Rongwu in Li Yishan's family and also works as a waiter at Children's Playhouse, has also made a marriage arrangement. She is a girl from his maternal village, and they have also decided to get married this year, but earlier than Li Rongwu.

Nowadays, the children in their Xiahe Village are the ones who have no worries about proposing marriage. As long as they show their intention to marry, there are many matchmakers coming to visit.

Shiliu's second brother Li Rongyu is seventeen this year. It's time to talk about getting married, so he has no worries about getting married. In the past two years, many people have asked about the Song family openly or secretly.

However, the person Song trusted the most was Huang Yuan, so he left this matter to her.

Not only Li Rongyu, but also Li Yangmei from the eldest family has reached the age of marriage. The custom in their area is that children should pay filial piety to their parents for one year, which was over at the end of last year. Li Yangmei is also sixteen this year, so there can be no delay.

This matter was all entrusted to Huang Yuanshi.

There were many people asking for marriage from Mrs. Huang Yuan, and she was busy all day without touching the ground. Just two days after the construction of the new workshop in Xianggupo, she rushed to Xiahe Village in the morning. When he arrived at Pomegranate's house, he took a sip of water without saying anything and said, "I'm so thirsty!"

Mrs. Song also hurriedly asked Xichun to cook a bowl of sugar-watered eggs, and asked her aunt to take a good rest and then talk slowly after eating.

Huang Yuan couldn't sit still after drinking water to quench his thirst. How could he wait until he ate the sugar-watered eggs before talking slowly? He immediately put down the tea cup and wiped his mouth and said, "I've been focusing on Brother Yu and Yang Mei these days." What’s going on, there’s good news!”

As he said this, he looked at Old Yuan, then at Song, and said, "Let me talk about Brother Yu first. She is the granddaughter of the head of our village. This girl I also watched grow up. She is a good child with a good appearance and a good temperament." Okay, I know how to weave and embroider!

We have several grandchildren, but there is only one granddaughter who we hold dear to our hearts. This granddaughter is good at everything. Naturally, she has thousands of choices to choose from when it comes to her marriage. Why hasn’t she always found the right one? Well, as soon as she heard that I was proposing marriage to Brother Yu, the eldest lady came to see me.

Among the suitable girls I was considering in my heart, there was also their granddaughter. No, after talking about it over and over again, I feel more and more good about this marriage. Their family is also willing. It depends on you and Xiuying. Jihe meant it. "

Mrs. Song naturally believed in her aunt. If she said that this girl was good, then she must be good. She was from the same village as them, so she must know her better.

This girl is the granddaughter of the eldest daughter, and can weave and embroider. This condition is satisfactory to everyone. Before, their family would not have been able to have such a marriage.

Although their family may be rich now, Mrs. Song has never thought that her outstanding son should marry a wife from the city or outside the city. She likes the honorable wife very much.

Since the other party is also happy, then let’s look at each other!
Huang Yuanshi said: "In two days, you can bring Brother Yu to my house to walk around."

After the matter was settled, Huang Yuan turned around and talked about Yang Mei with Old Yuan, "You know, this girl who has no father and no mother has to have a harder time as a parent. Fortunately, Yang Mei is not the eldest daughter. , there is a brother and sister-in-law above, but it needs to be different. I also care about it, so I have to give it to her!
After running around these days, I have taken a fancy to two families. One is from the village next to us. She is the eldest son of the family. The family also has about 30 acres of land. She is the eldest daughter-in-law when she enters the house. Naturally, it will be different when the family is divided, and the next generation will also see it. Yes, this year is seventeen.

The other family is from Yushui Village in front of you. This son is also seventeen and is the only son of the family. The two older sisters are married. Although the family only has about ten acres of land, it is quite a lot, and the father and son still have bamboo strips. With my knitting skills, I usually knit dustpans and sell them on the market, which is also a source of income. The main reason is that the population is small and it is simple. "

After saying that, she glanced at Old Yuan and added: "In my opinion, the one in Yushui Village is better. That's the reason for the lack of land. Living a simple life is better than anything else."

Old Yuan knew it from what he heard. Yangmei was soft-tempered and couldn't live such a complicated life, so naturally it was better to be simple to avoid being bullied.

However, this was not something she could decide on her own. She immediately sent someone to call Li Rongsong and let him, the eldest brother, make the decision.

By the time Li Rongsong arrived, Huang Yuan had finished a bowl of sugar-watered eggs and felt very comfortable.

Li Rongsong came to hear about the situation of these two families, and for the sake of his sister, he decided on the Wang family in Yushui Village.

Li Rongyu was so optimistic about her that he went directly to her house to see her aunt and grandmother. She was here at Yangmei. Huang Yuan said, "When brother Yu comes to see you, I'll take this in a few days." The descendants of the Wang family went to the village for a walk."

After settling the matter, Mrs. Song kept Huang Yuanshi for lunch before sending her off.

Because Mrs. Huang Yuan has been a good matchmaker in recent years, she also bought a donkey from the matchmaker in the city. It is convenient for her to go anywhere and she does not have to drag her son away at any time.

The donkey jolted away, and Pomegranate looked at it strangely. She had never ridden a donkey before.
