Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 13
Li Xin was a little surprised, but he also knew that the matchmaker sometimes held the information of several families at the same time, and it was not surprising that one family came at her fingertips.

Curiously, what is "she disagrees"?Could this man be in worse condition than hers?Not so, it's normal for a woman to be difficult to marry, but how can it be difficult for a man to marry a wife?Even those wretched men who have settled down and are idle all day long, but there are very few who do not marry a wife.

In her situation, she can only wait for others to choose, how can she choose others?Aunt Li's words are too exaggerated.

Mrs. Liu was a little anxious when she saw Aunt Li's speech, "Which one are you talking about? Could it be that the man is not good?"

"Nonsense! If the person is not good, can I tell the girl?"

Aunt Li glared at Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu hurriedly apologized, "Then what do you mean by that? Xiner said that she only picks men who are kind. As long as the man you said is kind, I will look for it." some time to visit."

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mother, there's nothing wrong with this."

"What are you saying? It's not like you don't know that your mother and I can't read!" Mrs. Liu waved her hand, scolded her with a smile, and then looked at Aunt Li, "Which one is it? His aunt, tell me first." Are you saying that the situation with that person is okay?"

Aunt Li nodded, and said slowly: "I said this man, his surname is Guan, and he is the eldest at home."

The Guan family that Li Taozi said was not in Lijia Village, but in a village called Hehua Village next door to Lijia Village.As the name suggests, this village has a lot of water and ponds. Every summer, there are clusters of lotus flowers blooming in the unattended ponds, which are very delicate and beautiful.

The Guan family is an ordinary family in Hehua Village. The population of the family is simple and simple, but it is also complicated.

At the old juncture, there was only one son and one daughter. The daughter married to a town in Huixian County, and her husband's family name was Zhao; her son Guan Ming married his daughter-in-law Zhou, and they gave birth to four sons and three daughters.

The man Aunt Li told Li Xin was the eldest son of their family.

Laoguan is over 60 years old this year, but his body is still healthy.At the old juncture, he became a widower long ago, and his wife only left him a pair of children, and she went away after a serious illness.At the old juncture, I worked hard to bring up my children, and finally married my daughter, and helped my son marry his wife back. I thought that I should wait to bring my grandson to enjoy the blessings, but who knew that the daughter-in-law would carry on the family line for his family, She gave birth to seven babies in a row, but when she gave birth to the last girl, she had dystocia and hemorrhage. The baby was saved, but the daughter-in-law left.

Zhou was only 44 at the time of his death, and Guan Ming was only 27. The two uncles brought up seven children. Now the youngest girl in the family is almost fifteen and should be kissed, but the family can’t find someone who can marry her. The woman in charge.

Of the seven children in the Guan family, the old one had never read a book. Guan Ming also knew him by word. He couldn't read, so it was very simple to name the children.The four sons were named after Wen, Wu, Quan, and Cai respectively. This was a word Guan Ming passed by a tavern when he was going to sell food in the town. Use it for your own children.

The names of the three daughters are even simpler.The eldest daughter, Ahe, was born in summer, and the pond is full of lotus flowers, so the name was chosen according to the season.The second daughter, Axiu, was born with a small mouth and a soft cry. Zhou felt that the child would be very delicate when she grew up, so she chose Axiu.The third daughter, Amei, is the youngest. After giving birth to her, it is impossible for Guan Ming to have any more children, and he suffered from the pain of losing his wife. He didn’t have the leisure to give her a name. She was called Amei Amei since she was a child I got used to it after shouting and shouting, and in the end I didn't even choose a name, so I decided on this.

The eldest, second, fourth, and sixth are sons, and the third, fifth, and seventh are daughters.The Guan Wen that Aunt Li told Li Xin is not only the backbone of the six younger siblings, but also the backbone of the whole family.As the eldest, he has consciously shouldered the burden of the family since he was sensible, helping Lao Guan and Guan Ming to raise a few younger siblings.

Speaking of which, Guan Wen is only ten years older than his youngest sister. At the age of 25 this year, the second and fourth brothers are now big men and can take charge.As for the youngest brother, Lao Liuguan, because of his cleverness since childhood, Guan Wen gritted his teeth and tightened his belt to send him to school.Guan Cai, who is 16 years old this year, everyone called him Ah Cai when he was young, and there was nothing wrong with him, but he learned to read after school, because everyone in the school laughed and said his name was "coffin", saying that he was unlucky, After returning home, he refused to obey, and was determined to change his name, so he changed his scientific name to Guan Zhicheng, which is also the most connotative name of the whole family.

Of the three younger sisters, when the eldest sister got married, her grandmother, that is, Zhou's mother, helped Zhang Luo.But Zhou's mother passed away not long after, and Axiu and Amei couldn't find a reliable elder to help with their marriage.Axiu is eighteen, and Amei is going to be fifteen soon. Girls can't afford to delay their youth. Amei can say that it will be fine for another two or three years, but Axiu really can't afford to wait.

Guan Wen pulled his younger siblings without any complaints or regrets. It was time for him to talk about kissing, but others felt that he had a heavy burden and a heavy burden. There were so many younger siblings and two older ones to support. , are not willing to marry his daughter to him.As soon as Guan Wen was delayed in this way, he took a rest. Two years later, when the second brother was about to marry, Guan Wen resolutely decided to go out to make money.

At that time, Guan Wen was 20 years old, his second brother was 17 years old, and his third sister was 15 years old. They were planning to marry to Pingsha County, a neighboring county of Hui County, under the guidance of their grandmother, but the dowry was very thin.The fourth brother is [-] years old and just able to help the second brother to work in the fields.The fifth younger sister was thirteen, the sixth younger was eleven, and the seventh younger was ten years old. The remaining three were so small that they couldn't carry their hands or shoulders, and they were waiting to eat with their mouths open.

In order to earn money for Guan Wu to marry a wife, to prepare some dowry for Ahe, and for the remaining brothers and sisters, Guan Wen greeted his family and went to the town's bodyguard bureau to walk in the bodyguard.

Those who do this trade come and go in the wind and rain, with their heads pinned to their belts.That is really exchanging life for money.It's not that Laoguan and Guan Ming don't know how to make money, but Guan's family members are very honest, they plan their food in the soil dutifully, and they have to raise seven children, so they can't do it in the first few years. It's almost spent. When Guan Wen can help the family with the crops, the old juncture is not going to go to the field. The younger brother is going to marry a wife, the younger sister is going to marry someone, and there is a younger brother who is studying in the school. The cost is real. Big, so that the family can't afford it at all.

Walking the darts was also a helpless move Guan Wen made under such circumstances.

Fortunately, he is strong and can do things. He did his duty and won the appreciation of the head of the escort. He came back from the first dart trip without any surprises, and got a tael of silver for the dart fee plus Xie Yin.After taking the money back, he happily married off his younger sister.Soon after his grandmother passed away, he also gave a large funeral ceremony to his grandfather's family, and married his second brother a wife in the new year.

In this way, after two years of dart career, the sum of zero and zero has earned seven to eighty taels.Everyone in the family was glad that life at home was getting better in the past two years, but Guan Wen returned to Hehua Village with 80 taels of silver one day.

When he came back, he scared and cried several children in the village.
