Chapter 80
After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Yu called Ning Wan after feeding the stone, "We'll settle the bill later, mother will talk to you."

Ning Wan felt that her mother's tone was different, so she put down the ledger and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

The mother pulled her and said: "What are you doing here today as the seventh sister-in-law? I'm here to say goodbye to you!"

"Who are you talking about?" Ning Wan asked casually, but she immediately understood in her heart that Hu Qi's sister-in-law is Hu Dunru's direct sister-in-law. Everyone calls his daughter-in-law Seventh Sister-in-law.Although Seventh Sister-in-law's family background is not high, she is very active. She has only been familiar with every family in Sanjia Village for only half a year. I heard that Mrs. Guo entrusted her to help Guo Xiaoyan's marriage.Now that Mrs. Hu Qi came from home to talk about marriage, there are seventy-eight chances that Aunt Hu asked her to ask her family.

The mother said happily: "Of course it is Mr. Hu Xiao! No one else is worthy of my Wan'er."

Although Ning Wan still has the mentality of a child in front of her parents, she feels that she is not young when she encounters other things, so she doesn't feel too shy. She just thinks, "Is it suitable for me to marry Hu Dunru?"

Naturally, I thought that Hu Dunru was originally married to the daughter of a family in Mayi Town. The family was an oil workshop, and the surname seemed to be Gu.As for the girl's appearance and temperament, she didn't know at all how the two of them lived, after all, she was still unfamiliar with Hu Dunru at that time.However, with Hu Dunru's gentle and modest temperament, I think the husband and wife will definitely get along well.

Seeing her daughter was in a daze, Mrs. Yu thought she liked it, and continued happily, "If it's someone else's house, I will definitely push it. After your father comes back, we will discuss it carefully and ask you before you agree. But Mr. Hu Xiao, how can you be like others? I agreed first. Huh? Why do you have such an expression? Don’t you always say Mr. Hu Xiao is okay? "

Although Ning Wan had long believed that she would marry and have children like other women this time, she still felt uncomfortable when she first heard her mother say that she had agreed to the Hu family.Maybe it's because she's never really married?Or maybe she has seen too many scandals between husband and wife in the Zhao family?Or does she not like Hou Dunru?
She thought about it carefully, and she was sure that she had a good impression of Hu Dunru. He is a gentleman, gentle and kind, fair and selfless. Such a person must be like this to her daughter-in-law. Normally, she has no dissatisfaction.Thinking about it again, he will be selected as a scholar in the future, he will be an official, and he will also be a teacher. It is really like what my mother said, and he is more than worthy of me.This marriage should be agreed to by himself.

But Ning Wan still couldn't laugh, so she forcefully forced a smile and said, "It's fine if mother agrees. It's just that I said earlier that I can't marry early, and I have to get my family's business sorted out before getting married."

Yu's bento daughter felt shy. After all, no matter who told anyone, she couldn't find her with a lantern, so she laughed again, "Your sister-in-law Seven is here today to find out. If you really want to get married, you still have to ask me She said that Mrs. Hu didn't want Mr. Xiao to get married early, but she was afraid of delaying his study. She just wanted to make an appointment first, and then do the marriage when Mr. Hu Xiao was admitted to the scholar or passed the twenties. I thought , and it's the same as your usual tone, and I think it's really a coincidence."

It seems that Hu Dunru got married very late, did he really pass the exam as a scholar?Ning Wan thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. What she was interested in Hu Dunru at the time was that he solved the century-old feud between Sanjia Village and Hujia Village, and organized winter school for the children of farmers. As for his marriage, there was nothing care.Of course, these have nothing to do with the present, and then realized that Mother was staring at her closely, so Ning Wan picked up the account book and went back to her room, leaving only one sentence, "I listen to Mother."

Mrs. Yu is willing to only treat her as a daughter. There is really nothing to choose from this family, so she thinks about it again.Wan'er married into the Hu family, who was closer than her two older sisters, so it would be convenient for her to come and go in the future; and although the Hu family was also in a mountain village, they still had a hundred acres of land and were the village head's family, so their family background was not inferior to Wan'er's. The Hu family and the Liu family; more importantly, Mr. Hu Xiao is much stronger than Wan Feng and Liu's shopkeeper; even Wan'er has been yelling not to marry early, and the Hu family has the same meaning...

Now that Mrs. Hu Qisao has found out about her family and went back, Village Chief Hu's family should also be satisfied.In this way, a matchmaker could be sent over years ago, and the two families will walk together as relatives after they have made an agreement.Waiting for the elementary school student to pass the examination of a scholar—of course, Wan'er will marry in a glorious manner and become a scholar, how wonderful it is!

Ning Liang and Yu Shi laughed so much that they woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to say a few words. They are old enough to have children, and the marriages of the three daughters are settled again. One is better married than the other. What is there for them to be dissatisfied with now? Woolen cloth?

Ning Wan couldn't see anything on the surface, and it happened that no outsiders knew about it, so she was just the same as in the past, but she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart. It was not happy, but it was definitely not happy, and she couldn't be like other things. Also put it face to face like a gong and a drum to make it clear, but it seems that something is stuck in my heart.But even if she didn't look at her parents' cheerful expressions, she knew that Hu Dunru was indeed a good man, and she shouldn't be dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hu Qisao didn't come back after asking about the tone, and she didn't come to help when the Ning family recruited people to smash the hickory kernels. This made Ning Wan heave a sigh of relief.With the busy work at home, Ning Wan simply stopped thinking about the Hu family's affairs, which made her feel better.

By this time the weather was getting colder, the days were getting shorter, an autumn rain followed by snow, and ice on the roads.On this day Ning Liang went to Hutai County again, but he still hadn't come back after midnight, both Yu Shi and Ning Wan became anxious.

Ning Wan couldn't wait any longer, so she stood up and said, "Mother, I'll go out to meet Dad."

Yu held her back and refused, "At this time, you can't see five fingers when you stretch out your hand outside. How can you go out by yourself as a girl? It's up to me to go!"

"But the stone can't leave you!"

Just as she was talking, she heard the courtyard door rang, and Ning Wan said, "My father is back! I'll open the door!" When she opened the door, she was startled. It turned out that her father's face was covered in blood, and his hands were wet The mud was bloody again, very scary, "Father, what's wrong?"

Mother also came out, and she screamed too, "Erlang, where did you get this?"

Ning Liang waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, I just accidentally fell."

But at this time Shitou started to cry, Ning Liang pushed Yu Shi, "He must have been frightened by the sound, you go to coax him quickly." Yu Shi had no choice but to go into the room first.

Ning Wan brought over the water that was warm on the stove, and prevented her father from washing it, but took a clean cloth and soaked it in the water to help her father carefully wipe her face and hands, "Why are you hurt like this?" Washing, it is natural to slowly wipe off the dirt."

After scrubbing it clean, the wound could be seen clearly. The skin on both palms was scratched, the left forehead was covered with green, and there was a gash on the left cheek, and blood was still oozing out slowly.Thinking that there was no wound medicine at home, Ning Wan regretted her carelessness very much, and suddenly remembered that she had heard that strong tea can stop bleeding, so she quickly added a handful of sorghum stalks to the stove and boiled a bowl of strong tea. , "Dad, you lie down, I'll wipe it off for you."

While wiping, my mother coaxed the stone, took it and continued to wipe, "Why did you fall so hard!" But she complained, "I said the days were short, you stayed at Xian'er's house for one night and came back the next day, I just don’t want to listen, so I fell down now!” Although he said in his mouth, he hurriedly helped to take off the dirty clothes, and seeing that the pants on the knees were also oozing blood, he said: “Wan’er, go out and help your father cook dinner, I'll find him some clean clothes to change into."

Ning Wan came out to warm up meals and dishes, and cooked another bowl of egg drop soup, "Let my father drink it quickly, and it will also warm him up."

Seeing that both his mother and daughter were anxious and frightened, Ning Liang smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just accidentally tripped over a rock. It's just a flesh injury, not a muscle injury."

But seeing that Dad was not walking freely after entering the door, he must have fallen hard, otherwise why would he come back so late, but he refused to say it in front of his family.

Seeing that his wife and daughter didn't believe it, Ning Liang smiled and said, "Actually, earning money is not easy? It's nothing if you fall, the two donkeys are fine, and the money is not lost!"

Yu Shi said angrily: "At this time, you still say these things are useless!"

Ning Wan was also afraid and said: "Father, when you recover from your injuries, you don't need to go back and forth in the same day. Just listen to my mother, stay at the eldest sister's house for a day and then come back. At this time, it can't compare with summer." Winter is getting colder and colder, especially at night. Dad didn't fall too hard. If he couldn't get up again, he might freeze to death outside.

Ning Liang agreed, and after dinner he urged Ning Wan to go back to the house, "It's all right, let's go to sleep and wake up later tomorrow." Seeing that his daughter had gone out, he whispered to Yu Shi: "There is one thing I still need to tell you. you……"

But halfway through the sentence, he stopped again.

Yu's temperament has always been gentle, but he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"

Ning Liang said hesitantly: "On the way back, I met a man from Ma Yi Town who was also on business in Hutai County, so he came back with me. I heard that man told me that Mr. Hu Xiao and the owner of the oil workshop in Ma Yi Town The girl from the Gu family is getting engaged." If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have fallen because he was thinking about something.

Yu didn't believe it, "Mr. Hu Xiao is not that kind of person,"

"Naturally, I don't believe it either," Ning Liang said, "It's just that this person happens to be a neighbor of the Gu family, and he is very familiar with Mr. Xu. He couldn't explain the matter clearly, so I can't help but believe it."
