Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 16 Going to the Market
After lunch, the old man Li and his son rested for a while, and then went to work in the fields with their stuff.At night, Mrs. Sun was worried that the two sisters lived alone, and also wanted to have a good time with her granddaughter, so she drove old Li to his son's room to sleep.Old Litou naturally agreed cheerfully.

In this way, it was decided that Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters would stay at grandma's house temporarily.

Living at grandma's house was simple and happy, and Lin Xiaoqiao felt that his recent life was very comfortable.

He was far away from the noise and quarrels of the Lin family, without grandma Zhou's finding fault, and cousin Lin Jiao's arrogance and arrogance.

If it weren't for her still worrying about her plan to make money and make a fortune, Lin Xiaoqiao felt that such a leisurely and comfortable life could be called perfect.

However, every time he looks at the low thatched house of his grandma's house and feels his family's sincere love for the two sisters, Lin Xiaoqiao always wants to do something for them.

Looking at my favorite little uncle, he is already 16 years old, but he hasn't settled down yet. Up to now, he doesn't even have a girl.

Lin Xiaoqiao could see more than once that his grandmother showed a sad face from time to time. In this rural family, almost anyone with a little money would not let their son not talk about marriage at this age.Unless it's really that kind, the family is too poor to get rid of the blame, or the man has some flaws himself.

In ancient times, men and women were generally engaged in marriage around the age of 15 and married around the age of 17.At Li Erhu's age, he hasn't been engaged for a long time, and in this small-populated Xiaowan Village, it has already become a topic of conversation for them after dinner.

For Sun, Li Erhu is the only son of their old couple, and he can be regarded as an old man in the countryside. Li Erhu holds a special weight in her heart.

It is precisely because there is only such a single seedling in the family, so Sun has always wanted to find a virtuous, beautiful and capable wife for her son.

Sun has high hopes for the only daughter-in-law of the Li family.

In the past two years, a matchmaker also came to the door and said several times to kiss her. The other party was very rare. mind.

Either she looks too ugly, or she finds out that the girl has a bad temper, and what's more, she wants to recruit him to be her son-in-law.

In fact, if you think about it, you can also know that the Li family is relatively poor, and the family is an only seedling. Girls with better conditions will not be willing to marry into the Li family.

Although there is no such thing as a fight for family property, the Li family has only one seedling, and the pressure on the new daughter-in-law to carry on the family line must be much greater than other families with many brothers.

In the ancient countryside, when a woman gave birth to a child, passing on the family line was the top priority, or among the seven out of seven rules, "nothing out" was taken as the first one.

In a small village like Xiaowan Village, if a daughter-in-law enters the house and has not moved her stomach for a year, she will be pointed at her back and discussed for a long time.

What's more, what about the Li family who only has a single seedling?Therefore, poverty and the pressure of inheriting the family line made those girls with better conditions avoid the Li family to talk about marriage.

Mrs. Sun also knew in her heart that young men of Li Erhu's age in Xiaowan Village would be caught in large numbers as fathers, but she just didn't want to lower the standard and wrong her youngest son.

Therefore, Sun's pick and choose has fallen into the situation that he has not yet given his youngest son a family.

In the current Li family, even the matchmakers don't know how to visit the house anymore, they are all very smart, and they don't know what Sun's heart is thinking.

Regarding Sun's worries, Lin Xiaoqiao didn't want to agree at all.To her, her little uncle is a treasure. He is not handsome, but he is a handsome young man. He is hardworking and hardworking, and most importantly, he is reliable.

When a woman is looking for a husband, she just wants to find someone to rely on.If any girl is lucky enough to marry him in the future, that is a treasure.

What's more, my little uncle is really too young. In modern times, this would be a fun and fun age. Lin Xiaoqiao thinks it's good not to let him be premature, and it's good to bear the pressure of the family.

Besides, the daughter-in-law is for a lifetime, so of course you have to keep your eyes open and choose slowly.But seeing Mrs. Sun's sad look, she couldn't step forward to persuade her, after all, her current identity was just an eight-year-old farm girl.

However, Lin Xiaoqiao still concluded that the key reason for this matter, in one word, is poor.

Because they are poor, the range of choices is small. If the Li family is not poor and becomes rich in the future, then the girls will be chosen by the Sun family.

So, when Mrs. Sun sat down and sighed again, Lin Xiaoqiao finally couldn't help it anymore, and said, "Grandma, don't sigh, we can make more money and all problems will be solved." I regret it when it's over.

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she felt relieved, thinking: Oh, this is indeed the case, if you have money, then all problems will be solved.She suddenly felt enlightened, but when she looked at Lin Xiaoqiao who was squatting on the ground next to her, pretending to count ants, she felt incredible.

Walking to Lin Xiaoqiao's side, he also knelt down and said with a smile, "You little man, do you know what grandma is worrying about?"

Lin Xiaoqiao replied with a smile: "Grandma, I guess, our family doesn't quarrel, grandma and grandpa are in good health, and they are just worried because they don't have money to marry our little uncle."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun burst into a "puchi" laugh, "Yo, grandma's little granddaughter knows how to marry a wife."

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the ants on the ground and said: "Why don't I know, just like ants also want to marry a wife, and chickens also want to marry a wife, so my father married my mother as a wife. Grandma, I must Make more money and marry my little uncle a beautiful daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Sun was overjoyed after hearing this, and almost lost her breath from laughing, and after a while, she nodded Lin Xiaoqiao's forehead and said, "Okay, when your little uncle comes back, I'll tell him, call He is waiting for Xiaoqiao to earn money and marry him a wife." After speaking, he smiled.Go away by yourself and think about her way out of poverty.

Lin Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, finally he was no longer as sad as before.

Breaking fingers, Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters have been living in their grandma's house for three days.

These days, old man Li also took his young son to turn over the land and sow the seeds.

I heard from my grandma that tomorrow is the day for the town to go to the market, and Mrs. Sun is going to ask Li Erhu to bring the insoles she brought along with her, and sell the twenty eggs recently saved by the family for money.
