The farm has a phoenix

Chapter 9 Marriage
In addition to taking care of her sick mother and taking medicine, Zhan Jinfeng would go to the roadside outside the village to pick small green peaches every day. It happened that the wheat was harvested and there was no one in the field. Moreover, no one seemed to care about the small green peaches. Obviously, the peaches on the tree Less, but no one said anything. When she came back at night, she put the little green peaches in a basket and warmed them with a bracelet. It was very convenient for both ripening and freshness. She continued to embroider in the rest of the time. Embroidery.

After drinking the medicine twice a day, the mother's fever gradually subsided, but she was still very weak, so Zhan Jinfeng refused to let her mother do heavy work, and Zhan Xiuyun embroidered on the kang all day long.

In the blink of an eye, it was fifteen, Zhan Jinfeng got up before dawn, took the peaches and started on the road, but when he got up, he saw the embroidery on the bedside, Zhan Jinfeng frowned slightly, picked out a few pieces of embroidery, and kicked them in his arms. Li quietly lowered his resistance.

The mother was still sound asleep. She tiptoed to the kitchen, picked up a few pancakes, carried the rattan basket on her shoulder, and left the house with the scale.

It was not yet dawn outside, but the people who went to the market were on their way early. Occasionally, a few villagers who went to the market could be seen hurrying past. Zhan Jinfeng tightened the baskets on his body and followed.

Zhan Xiuyun didn't get up until the sun rose. Seeing that the quilt around her was cold, she knew that her daughter had already left the house, and she couldn't help but feel sad. As soon as she got dressed and got up, she heard the movement outside the door. After a while, Chen was grinning walked in.

"I said big sister, it's fifteen, and the embroidery is all done?"

Zhan Xiuyun smiled gently, and reached out to take the things on the top of the kang: "Okay, it was ready last night."

As he spoke, he counted them in front of Chen Shi, but suddenly found that there seemed to be three missing.

"Hey, it seems that this time I didn't embroider as much as before." Mrs. Chen obviously noticed it too.

"Yeah, I've been feeling unwell this month..." She said so, but she knew in her heart that her daughter still took the embroidery away.

"Then sister, you need to rest well, I'll go first!" As he spoke, the man had already picked up the embroidery and walked out cheerfully.

Zhan Xiuyun hurriedly called out to humanity: "Sister, I have something I want to say to my sister."

The person who had already walked to the door was stunned, then turned around and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Zhan Xiuyun thought for a while, and seemed a little hesitant, but when she thought of her daughter's hard work, she still said: "Feng'er is not young anymore, I want to tell Feng'er about marriage."

"About marriage?" Hearing this, Chen's eyes lit up, and the slightly drooping corners of his eyes also flickered.

Ignoring Chen's greedy gaze, Zhan Xiuyun bowed her head and said, "Yes, although we don't have a male in our family, we have saved such a house with three acres of Susukida, and there are some jewelry and dowry here and there. Let’s have a good time.”

Chen rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "As far as your family's conditions are concerned, how can anyone in the village deserve them? They are all rough people. Those who can save Baishi grain at home are considered rich!"

"I think your family, Ah Lang, is not bad. He looks as handsome as your elder sister. He is also a scholar and smart. It seems that we are not good enough in the future."

Mrs. Chen was very useful, she rolled her eyes and said: "The future is the future, but since ancient times, there is no less rule than saying what the parents ordered and the matchmaker said!"

"Sister, don't worry, I will pay the matchmaker's money. Naturally, I know the rules. Naturally, the dowry will not be small, and the etiquette of the red envelope will not be missed."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help laughing anymore: "My sister is really caring. I'll look for a matchmaker, but my sister may have to pay the money first. Our family Alang always needs money to go to school!"

"It's easy to talk about money, but I don't know my sister's mind so I dare not act first. Since my sister also agreed, my sister naturally understands."

Seeing what Zhan Xiuyun said, Chen covered her mouth and smiled, full of pride and joy.

"Okay, okay, I'm very relieved that my sister is doing things, I'm leaving now, if I don't go, it will be too late!"

Zhan Xiuyun hurriedly lifted the quilt and wanted to get off the kang, but she was quickly supported by Mrs. Chen: "Okay, okay, we will be a family from now on, don't be so polite, you are not feeling well recently, you should take a good rest, I'm leaving! "

As he said that, he lifted the curtain cheerfully and left.

Zhan Xiuyun watched the coarse printed curtain sway slightly, and then stopped moving. When there was no sound outside, she frowned slightly.

The sky is gradually getting brighter and brighter. When the sun is fully up, the market has already opened. The small vendors who sell things have found their usual places to arrange their goods. Most of them are harvested at home and raised by themselves. brute.

It's just that it's still a bit early now, [-]% to [-]% of the vendors came, but less than [-]% of the fairs came.

Zhan Jinfeng found a remote place and put down the basket on his back.

Scattered around were a few old people, each using stones to make a small stone bench for themselves, and some simply sat on the ground, with a small piece of burlap in front of each person, and some fruits on it, most of which were in season. The fruits, mountain peaches and mountain apricots, all look like crooked melons and jujubes, and some have pitted spots and wormholes.

But this is also the appearance of fruits only nowadays, and ordinary people also think that the uglier the fruit, the more delicious it is, because it has been rumored since ancient times that bugs do not eat sour fruits, and all those with holes and eyes must be Sweet!

Averting his sight, Zhan Jinfeng also imitated these people and built a few stones, spread a piece of coarse cloth, and sat on it directly, then put the basket directly in front of him, opened the blue-dyed printed coarse cloth on it, and took out some peaches , placed on coarse cloth.

As soon as she took out the peaches, she was immediately watched by the surrounding elders.

"Little girl, what kind of peach is this?"

Zhan Jinfeng grinned: "This is fat peach."

"Fat peach?"

"Have you never seen this peach before?"

People chattered and chatted, Zhan Jinfeng just smiled, but didn't say anything more.

As the sun gradually rose, the number of people going to the market gradually increased. At first, the stalls on the opposite side could be seen through the gaps in the flow of people, but now there are so many people that they can't even see the clods and stones on the ground.

People who came to see Zhan Jinfeng's condoms were very curious, and some people couldn't help but came up to ask the price, but when they heard that it cost [-] Wen, many people were surprised at such a high price for the peaches, and turned their heads and left .

Zhan Jinfeng turned to look at the old man in Tsing Yi who was also selling peaches beside him. It was obvious that his peaches were not as good-looking as his own, and they were not as juicy and sweet as his own, but within a short while, half of the old man's peaches were sold.

The old man in Tsing Yi seemed to be aware of her gaze, he couldn't help pinching his beard and said with a smile: "Little girl, your peaches are not suitable for sale in the market. Maybe the gentlemen in the county can enjoy them."

One sentence was like enlightenment, and Zhan Jinfeng finally understood that the country people have little cash in the first place, and they can easily pick and choose between five-cent peaches and eight-cent peaches, and if they are higher, they are not them Can afford it.
