Aunt Li got Li Xin's consent and Liu Shi's reluctant consent, so she went back cheerfully.After the whole family gathered in the evening, Mrs. Liu talked about today's events, looked at her three sons and one daughter, and sighed.

"I agreed, who else among you wants to object?"

Li Sanlang shook his head, he said that day that he believed that his eldest sister could manage the Dingguan family.Now that the second daughter-in-law of the Guan family has been divorced again, there is no woman in charge in the Guan family, so the eldest sister has the final say?Li Sanlang has studied for several years, and his knowledge has widened. He understands the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages very well.Marrying into the Guan family is a good thing for the eldest sister, the Sun family is just a clown, nothing to be afraid of.Why not do things that do more good than harm?Besides, the eldest sister is also willing.

Dalang Erlang was still a little hesitant, Li Xin said: "Don't think too much about me, life will never be smooth sailing. Small bumps and bumps are always inevitable. When you encounter obstacles, you will cross them. When you encounter rivers, you will flow. The mountain is overturned, there are not so many buts."

Da Lang sighed, "That's up to you."

"Sister, if the Guan family bullies you, you must come back and tell us! Brother's fist is not vegetarian!"

Li Erlang slapped his palm on the table, with harsh words in his mouth.

Li Xin, who felt the strong affection from his family, felt sore in his heart, nodded and said: "Then, second brother, you have to train your hands to strengthen your strength, that Guan Wen is very strong, I'm afraid you won't be able to win." he."

The whole family burst out laughing, Li Erlang blushed and called sister, Jiang looked at him with a smile on his stomach.

The marriage with the Guan family was settled in this way.

Because the Guan family was in a hurry to get married, Aunt Li hurriedly ran between the two villages, sweating profusely on the hot day.Mrs. Liu was busy preparing Li Xin's dowry, ranging from beds, cabinets, dressing tables, and large boxes to small clothes, jewelry, rouge, and gouache.

Li Xin saw that her mother was lenient, so she hurriedly pulled her away, saying that the Guan family is going to marry two wives now, and a younger sister is getting married, and they can't afford so much money to buy it.Mrs. Liu stared, "Why, my only daughter is going to get married, so I can't dowry more? I can't straighten my back at my in-law's house without any dowry!"

"Mother, it's true to say so, but if you give so much dowry, wouldn't it be shabby if people give less dowry?" Li Xin said helplessly: "It's not over yet, but it makes us feel like we're afraid of them. The situation of bullying me, even if the Guan family is kind, there will be a thorn in their hearts."

Liu frowned, but her hands stopped involuntarily, she looked at Li Xin and said, "Mother is afraid that you will be wronged in the past."

"How can it be, mother, I'm not a soft persimmon. If the Guan family really treats me badly, I won't suffer. Besides, don't you still have Erlang's fist?"

Mrs. Liu laughed "puchi", grabbed Li Xin's hand and caressed it, and after a long time stroked Li Xin's back and said, "You are a good person, I only hope that the Guan family can recognize you."

The Guan family's actions were quick.Li Xin is preparing a dowry here, and the Guan family's dowry will arrive soon.

Those who came to present the betrothal gifts were the second and fourth brothers of the Guan family, and Axiu, the fifth girl of the Guan family.Aunt Li brought people to carry the thin box into the yard, and Li Houzhong and Mrs. Liu came out together.The second child Guan was dull and honest, Aunt Li pulled him and said, "This is the second child of the Guan family, and that is the fourth child. The second child Guan, these are the parents of your future sister-in-law. If you call uncle and aunt, you will be hit."

Guan Lao Er hurriedly shouted, Guan Lao Si was more flexible, and after calling someone, he even complimented him a few words.Axiu followed her elder brother to call someone in a low voice, a little bit of recognition, her delicate mouth was slightly pursed.

Seeing the thin box, Mrs. Liu frowned slightly, Mrs. Zhang tugged at her sleeves from behind, and Mrs. Liu sighed: "It's a hot day, hurry up and drink some water."

Li Houzhong was also busy greeting people, and poured tea himself.Guan Laoer took it awkwardly, bowed his head and said nothing.Guan Laosi smiled and said, "Is uncle still in good health?"

"It's good. My daughter rubs my shoulders and beats my legs every night. There's nothing wrong with it."

Li Houzhong sat down cheerfully, rubbed his hands, and didn't say anything, this kind of thing should be socialized by women and other people, he is not used to this atmosphere, "You guys are talking, I'm going out to work, sit wide, sit wide. "

Guan Laosi hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Houzhong.When Li Houzhong went out, Liu said: "His aunt, has the wedding date been fixed?"

"It's fixed. The eighth day of next month is an auspicious day. If you miss it, you will have to wait until the New Year." Aunt Li hurriedly showed Liu a calendar, pointing to one of the pages, and said, "On this day, it's time to get married." Married, Yi'an House, it's a very good day."

Mrs. Liu smiled, "His aunt, please excuse me."

"No trouble, no trouble, I can help you with girl Xin's matter, so why bother?"

Mrs. Liu asked Guan's family some specific matters about the marriage. Guan Lao Er didn't give specifics, but Guan Lao Si spoke clearly and clearly, and answered in a timely and detailed manner.Mrs. Liu thinks this young man is not bad, she met him that day in front of Guan's house, he can bear things, but when he saw him today, he thought he was a smart man, even though he was easy-talking.

While talking, Liu noticed Axiu.She sat quietly without saying a word, and she looked very quiet, no loss of her name.But it's not good for the little girl to come with her family to discuss things like marriage. After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu called Mrs. Zhang to lead Axiu to sit.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and took Axiu's hand, and Axiu looked at her second and fourth brothers.

"Go, don't make trouble for others."

Axiu nodded obediently and followed Mrs. Zhang out.

"Our house is small, and the two babies in my room are still asleep, so it's not easy to lure you in to rest, lest the two mud monkeys wake up and pester people again."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, but she had a steelyard in her heart.She felt that Axiu came to the house not to discuss marriage preparations with her brothers, but mostly to see her future sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law is pretty good in her own right, so I'm not afraid of her looking at her.In private, Mrs. Zhang wanted Axiu to hang out with Li Xin and know how good she was, so that Axiu could go back and tell her elder brother about it, so that her elder brother would have a better impression of Li Xin.

So Mrs. Zhang led her to Li Xin's room.

There was no one in the room in the west room. Mrs. Zhang saw the sewing basket on Li Xin's bed, but inside was a small baby's clothes, made of soft fabric, which was more than half finished.After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang knew that this should be for the baby in Mrs. Jiang's arms, so she couldn't help but smiled with emotion.

Axiu looked at the room carefully.

The room is small, but very clean. A small window is slightly open, and there are strings of gardenias hanging from the window. When the wind blows, the scent of gardenias comes to the nostrils. No wonder the whole room has a faint scent. aroma.

Except for a bed in the whole room, there is only a table made of wooden boards beside the bed.There is a box under the wooden table. The wooden table is clean and dust-free, but there is a book and a few scattered papers on it.There is a pen holder near the right side of the wooden table, and in front of the pen holder is a pen rest——Axiu has only seen these two things at the sixth brother's place.

Axiu was flustered immediately, and said incoherently, "I, my future sister-in-law...can read?"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, she enlightens her two nephews when she is free, teaching them to read, read, count and so on."

Axiu whispered in disbelief, "Why didn't you hear my elder brother say..."

"Your elder brother probably doesn't know either."

Aunt Li interspersed in the marriage, Guan Wen had never met Li Xin, and Aunt Li would not specifically mention Li Xin's literacy in this marriage, and Aunt Li might not know about it.

Just as he was talking, Li Xin came back with the book in his arms, saw that the door was open, and saw Mrs. Zhang was about to say hello, but saw Axiu standing aside.

Li Xin knew that she couldn't stand by when the kiss was officially announced, so she avoided it.She also heard that the fifth girl from the Guan family had followed her brother to hire her, and she was thinking about whether to go and say hello to her, but she met her before she made up her mind.

Seeing Li Xin, Mrs. Zhang immediately smiled and said, "It's true that you can't talk about people behind their backs. No, you will show up as soon as you talk about you."

"What did sister-in-law say bad things about me?"

"Praise you." Mrs. Zhang smiled, watching Li Xin put the book in her arms on the wooden table, and frowned slightly: "What kind of book is this?"

"A Thousand Characters."

Li Xin put the books away, tidied up the wooden table, turned around and answered Mrs. Zhang's words, and then said to Axiu, "Are you the fifth girl of the Guan family, Axiu?"

Axiu looked at the movements of Li Xin's white and tender fingers on the wooden platform, and felt that she had never seen such a meticulous person in the village.Even the former second sister-in-law in the family is not as good-looking as the future sister-in-law when she carefully dresses up.I heard people say that she used to be the most beautiful girl in Lijia Village, so it seems to be true.

"Elder, sister-in-law..." Axiu didn't know what to call Li Xin for a while, her face flushed and she choked out such a word, and after she finished she felt that it was not good to call it that way, but she heard Li Xin said softly: " Well, look at you, your forehead is sweating. I'll bring you a bowl of herbal tea."

"No, no need..."

Asiu Nuonuo was talking, Li Xin had already got up and poured her herbal tea back, and reached out to her, "Drink it, it won't be so cold after leaving it outside for a long time."

After taking the tea and drinking it slowly, Axiu wiped her mouth, her eyes sparkling, "Thank you, thank you... sister-in-law..."

"Well, you're welcome."

Li Xin took back the tea bowl and put it on the wooden table, sat on the edge of the bed, took the sewing basket and started making clothes again, saying, "How is the house?"

Axiu stammered, "It's okay, everything's fine..."

Mrs. Zhang smiled softly, "You don't have to be so nervous, girl, your future sister-in-law is very gentle."

Axiu pursed her lips and smiled, but her heart was still uneasy.The Sun family was born in a peasant family and they are so ostentatious to seduce people everywhere. This sister-in-law came back from that kind of special place to seduce people. Will she be more serious than the Sun family?She dare not take it lightly.

Li Xin didn't care about her hesitant reply, it would take time for the two of them to get acquainted.

Li Xin asked Axiu some more questions, but Axiu answered all of them despite stuttering.Seeing that Li Xin has always been very friendly, Axiu also gradually relaxed a little bit. Li Xin is very skilled in being a female celebrity, and she doesn't look like someone who stretches out her clothes to eat and opens her mouth. Looking at her face, she didn't put any powder on her face. A little rouge.

"Sister-in-law, you, why don't you dress up?"

"dress up?"

Li Xin looked at himself, and when she saw her staring at his face, he smiled clearly: "It's refreshing and comfortable, it's summer, and if you put on some rouge and water powder, it will all get blurred when you sweat."

These words made Axiu smile.Mrs. Sun loves to dress up, and her face is often blurred in summer.
