Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 515 Ask about Xu Chenming's family background

Xiao Shu'er was even more confused after hearing Liu Xu'er's answer.He yelled, "Sister, what's the matter with you? You said there was water boiling on the stove, but why didn't you watch it in the kitchen, why did you go back to your room?"

"Ah?" Liu Xu'er's voice was obviously stunned, and then she replied, "I wet my shoes while washing clothes, so I'll just go change a pair."

"Uh..." Xiao Shu'er was dumbfounded, and really didn't understand what the elder sister was fussing about.When the shoes get wet at night, I'll change them later, anyway, I'm going to bed soon.The clothes didn't dry well, and the kitchen said that the water was still boiling, so why didn't the elder sister care?
Liu Ya heard everything, couldn't help laughing, and had to hold back again.He came over and poked Xiao Shu'er in the back of the head, and said, "Elder sister, if you want to change your shoes, you can change them. Why do you care so much? Get the carriage and leave quickly. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked in the future."

Only then did Xiao Shuer let out an "oh", and helped Liu Ya quickly put on the car.Then, while Liu Ya was leading the carriage out of the courtyard, she ran to the water basin where Liu Xu'er put down, and dried her remaining clothes.He also said: "Eldest sister, the clothes are ready to dry, you can take the basin in later. My second sister and I are going to see off the carpenter brother, and we will be back in a while."

"Hey, let's go. I'll light the lamps for you in the courtyard later." Liu Xu'er agreed.

And the Liu family has always had the habit, as long as there are still people in the family who haven't come back, they will set up a small oil lamp on the lamp pole in the yard. Light the lamp and keep the door open for him, and feel comfortable.

Liu Ya came back from looking at this small oil lamp many times, not to mention the warmth in her heart at that time.Liu Ya had thought that if the Liu family hadn't treated her like this, and because of the warmth of this family, she might have left long ago.It is also possible to wander around the rivers and lakes again in order to make a living and become a cold-blooded killer.

Gently breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Ya felt that she was doing everything with energy now.With a flick of the whip in his hand, he drove the carriage and took Xiao Shu'er and Xu Chenming on the road.

Xiao Shu'er is a restless talker. Anyway, riding in a car is boring. There is no scenery on this road. In addition, it was dark again, so he started talking to Xu Chenming.For a while, I asked him how old he was when he started to learn carpentry, and for a while, I asked his brothers and sisters in his family why he was sent out to learn this.

While driving the car, Liu Ya listened, but felt that Xiao Shu'er's question was very good, just to save Liu Ya from trying to find out in the future.

Xu Chenming didn't have any precautions or wariness towards Xiao Shu'er either, because Xiao Shu'er was still young, and because Xiao Shu'er was always very likable and clever with his tongue.Although he was inquiring about the family affairs, he asked in a tone as if he cared about Xu Chenming, making it difficult for Xu Chenming not to answer.

Xu Chenming said, "I started learning carpentry when I was your age. I have been studying for eight years. How old are you, little brother? Are you ten years old?"

Xiao Shuer said: "I am nine years old, but I will be ten soon. Brother carpenter, you learned carpentry at ten years old? Then you studied carpentry for eight years... now you are eighteen?"

"Well, I'll be nineteen soon. So I haven't been a teacher, and my parents urged me to go home. There is also a younger sister in the family. The two older sisters above are already married, and the younger sister is also married after the new year. All that is left My parents are at home, so I am even more anxious to let me go back." Speaking of this, Xu Chenming asked Xiao Shu'er: "Now you know why the family only let me come out to learn crafts?"

"Well, I see. There can only be one male in the family. Of course, the whole family must be supported." After Xiao Shu'er finished speaking, he smiled again: "What a coincidence, I also have two older sisters above me. But I don't Sister, my sister is not married yet."

Hearing what Xiao Shuer said, Xu Chenming pursed his lips, as if he had something to say.After holding back for a while, he probably really wanted to ask, so he said, "Seeing that your two older sisters are not very old, they are not in a hurry to get married."

"Of course there's no rush. Eldest sister is thirteen this year, and it stands to reason that she should be engaged, but my second sister said that the daughter in the family is precious, and she must find a good one to marry." Xiao Shu'er said After that, he straightened his chest and said, "I also think that the two older sisters are treasures, and they can't be better protected, so I have to help the older sisters to choose. They must be good-looking talents and have a prominent family background."

In fact, what Xiao Shuer said was completely aimed at Cang Qianche.Now he is calling "Second Brother-in-law" one by one, and he has learned a lot from Cang Qianche.Xiao Shu'er has always been a clever ghost, so he naturally has deep thoughts and thinks a lot, so he can vaguely feel that Cang Qianche's family background is definitely not ordinary.

But when Xu Chenming heard Xiao Shu'er finished speaking, there was a bit of a smile and anticipation on his face, but he immediately froze, and he twitched the corners of his mouth before smiling.Then he nodded and said: "Yes. Look at your current house and carriage, and you are also a wealthy household in the village. Naturally, you should have a higher vision and find a good family for your sister. It is said that men should be married at a low price, and women should be married. Marriage high; a man who marries a daughter-in-law from a poor family can be the head of the family, is dutiful and virtuous; a woman naturally wants to marry better, and her life will be better and she will not suffer."

Liu Ya listened to what was said before, and it was quite good, but Xiao Shu'er's nonsense behind her changed her tone a bit.He coughed and said, "Little Shu'er, you are the only one who talks a lot. Don't talk about what you shouldn't. If the elder sister wants to get engaged, that's what my father decides. You're just worrying about it."

"Oh, don't talk, don't talk." Xiao Shu'er suddenly flattened his mouth and stopped talking.He had misunderstood, and thought that the second sister was afraid that the eldest sister would still miss Chen Wuniu, so he didn't let the matter of engagement be mentioned.

There was no more words along the way, and Xu Chenming's head drooped.

From Liu Ya's point of view, did Xu Chenming fall in love with Liu Xu'er at first sight?This is really interesting.

With the carriage, the road from Pingshan Village to Xiaozhang Village is not too far away.When it was getting late in Xiaozhang Village, Liu Ya asked Xu Chenming where the family he saw was.

Xu Chenming didn't often walk this way, so he let the carriage slow down, and after a little recognition of the direction, he pointed in one direction and said, "I saw that it was over there when I came here. Miss Liu, please stop the car. I’ll get out of the car and look for it myself, so you can go back. Thank you so much for sending me here, after all, you are a girl’s family, a child, so be careful on the way back.”

Liu Ya glanced in that direction, it seemed that a light was on, and said: "It's okay, it's only a few steps away, I'll drive the car over there, you can see if it's right."

Xu Chenming thanked him again, and the carriage had already arrived at the door of the family.

Liu Ya took a look, the yard was not big, the house consisted of three adobe houses, only one room was lit.
