Chapter 118: Xiaoqiao’s Engagement (3)
Hearing what Widow Zheng said, Mrs. Li felt an irony in her heart, her own daughter marrying into Chen's family is really a good marriage that is hard to find in thousands of miles!
However, after thinking about it, Li Shi was a little undecided about the ages of the two children. The child Xuewen will be 14 years old after the new year, but his little girl is still an eight-year-old child. It's true that the two are engaged, and by the time their daughter, Jiji, can get married, Xuewen will already be in his early twenties.

At such an age, whether in the countryside or in a wealthy family, one is already married and has children and become a father. What's more, Xuewen's child looks promising and ambitious. Maybe he will take the imperial examination to become an official in the future If it is an official, will he follow the example of those rich households and country gentry in accepting concubines and marrying concubines?
These two daughters are his treasures, if one of them is wronged in the future, she, a mother, can't bear it in her heart.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li looked at Widow Zheng with some embarrassment and said, "That child Xuewen definitely didn't say anything, and I really like it too. What about the marriage of these two children? At first, I didn't say anything else, and I was very willing. , But, I just thought about it carefully, is there a big age difference between the two children? Xuewen is about to turn fourteen after the new year, but my little girl is only eight years old. this--"

In fact, Widow Zheng knew what Li Shi was thinking when she was hesitating. After all, even she could think about that problem. After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she opened her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, I know what you want to say in my heart. Of course, I hope more than anyone else that this young couple will live happily ever after, so before I come , I just talked about this issue with two people, Xuewen. Xuewen is a child who knows a little bit, and he doesn’t need me to say more. He understood what I meant and promised me that he will never Maybe if he likes another girl again, he will definitely wait for Xiaoqiao to grow up slowly. He said that he doesn't mind getting married later, and he also solemnly told me that he will definitely live up to Xiaoqiao in the future , the key is not because you met someone you like!"

After saying this, seeing Li's face was obviously a little moved, he went on to say: "That child Xuewen, you should know what kind of temperament he is! Although he is not very old, he has always been persistent and stable, and has a strong sense of responsibility. , although it is a bit precocious, but what you say and the promise you make are certain and cannot be changed easily! If you are a mother, don't worry, I am a girl, and I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart I have always disliked and would not accept the words of my son. Those messy women like concubines, let alone hope that my son will have such things. If, in the future, if Xiaoqiao girl suffers any grievances, I will first Stand up and defend her. Just relax your heart, you are all mothers, I understand your heart!"

Listening to Widow Zheng's words, Mrs. Li was very moved and almost burst into tears, yes, everyone is a mother, how can they not think about their own children?
Now, what Zheng Meizi said really touched her heart, and that child Xuewen also made such a promise, so why should I hesitate, I should hurry up and get this marriage right , Let's talk after we settle down.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li turned from worry to joy, showed a smile, and said to Widow Zheng: "Sister, what you said really touched me, I almost couldn't help it, and shed tears. Mother's thoughts, we all understand each other, and we just hope that our children will have a better life, so that we can rest assured. If this is the case, then let's discuss, choose a date, and decide on the marriage of these two children!"

Widow Zheng nodded yes, so, next, the two mothers talked to each other in front of the stove, and seriously discussed the engagement of Chen Xuewen and Lin Xiaoqiao. .

And these two little people who are about to make a decision for each other for life, one is restless in his own study, unable to calm down and read a book, and the other is hiding in his boudoir, thinking about it, not knowing how to come out to face his family.

Lin Xiaoqiao was in her own room, dawdling and thinking wildly, which is really a girl's nature. Generally, when girls encounter such things, they often act calmly on the spot. After seeing that situation, he would find a place to hide by himself and think wildly.

Lin Xiaoqiao didn't know, if she was like this, could it be considered that she had "been in love for the first time"?
Hey, it's just that in her previous life, she had never encountered any relationship problems, but this time she encountered them suddenly, and she was completely unprepared for the sudden engagement, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Thinking about it before, the moment she agreed to Brother Xuewen, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she agreed on the spur of the moment. Now that she thinks about it, she wonders if she did that, it was a mistake , does Brother Xuewen feel that he is not reserved enough?
Just thinking wildly like this, until Lin Xiaoxi came over and asked her to go out for dinner, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't escape and came out bravely. Before she came out, she had already done self-hypnosis. Anyway, brother Xuewen was not there, but Just have a meal with my family, maybe they don't even know about it yet.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, the eyes of everyone looking at her felt a little strange.

Lin Erniu, the old man, was quite calm, he just looked at Lin Xiaoqiao with joy and relief on his face, but the two brothers Dalang Erlang looked at her with excitement, while the elder sister Lin Xiaoxi, at this time, He also sat on the side covering his mouth and giggling.

Lin Xiaoqiao instantly understood that everyone knew about it, brother Xuewen was really quick, and his own mother had already discussed it with Aunt Zheng.

Facing such gazes, Lin Xiaoqiao thought very much, and had the urge to turn his head back and hide in his own room.

But if that's the case, will she still have dinner? Maybe, she will have to hide in her own room from now on.

Naturally, this was impossible for the lively and active Lin Xiaoqiao, so she had to pretend nothing happened, walked to the table and sat down by herself, waiting for the meal to be served, trying not to let her eyes meet her. Two brothers, it's not because I'm afraid that I will be teased by the two brothers.

In fact, Lin Xiaoqiao didn't need to be so embarrassed at all, because her two elder brothers had already been severely warned by Li in private, not to tease her own sister, and must behave as usual.

Li Shi did this because she was worried about her little girl, who was thin-skinned. This sudden engagement had already made her embarrassed enough. If she was teased again, she probably would never see anyone again.
