Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 172 After Engagement

The engagement banquet between the Xia family and the Chu family kept people in the village discussing non-stop. Although the Xia family and the Chu family only invited their relatives and friends to the banquet, the situation at the banquet was still very crowded. It was almost known by the people in the village.

Chu Tianling usually wears a military uniform. Although the military uniform looks very energetic, Chu Tianling is a big man who wears those military uniforms all day long, and also trains intensively every day. Those military uniforms have long been worn out. Oh, it's not appropriate to wear old clothes for such a formal engagement.

It's not that Chu Tianling changed into her new Chinese tunic suit according to Xia Nuan's intention and looked completely different. The new hut smells good for three days, let alone wearing new clothes.

Chu Tianling was not bad looking. After so many years of training in the army, he has developed a whole body of tendons, and people who have been honed in the army always have a special temperament. I feel that people are particularly energetic, tall and straight.

Those who went to the banquet felt that Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling were a good match, at least in terms of appearance. Besides, the family conditions of the Chu family and the Xia family were almost well-matched, right? They have been married since ancient times. The most important thing is to be in the right family. The difference in family status is too great, and it is difficult to be happy in married life.

After the engagement banquet is over, Chu Tianling can be regarded as the son-in-law of the Xia family. Chu Tianling came to the Xia family to see if there is any work he can do after helping his family in the early morning. They are engaged, but Chu Tianling knows that Xia Zhongguo and the other men in the Xia family are 12 points dissatisfied with him taking Xia Nuan away.

So Chu Tianling felt that he had to at least do more work while he was still at home to show his affection for the future father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of Xia's house. Which boy in this village is not like this, so he got engaged Not married yet? In order to show his sincerity and filial piety, he often went to Xia's house.

Not so early in the morning, Chu Tianling came over to the Xia family and started chopping firewood in the yard. In this era, there were no gas and induction cookers for cooking, and firewood was used to boil water. It was better in the city, and coal and briquettes were available. If you want to get fire in the village, you can only collect firewood on the mountain.

Fortunately, Dafeng Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is never a lack of firewood, but they are too big to be picked up and need to be chopped into small pieces. In the past, Xia Zhongguo and a few men in his family did these jobs, but now Chutian Ling's help made them happy and relaxed.

Not only that, Chu Tianling also wanted to help Xia Zhongguo go to work in the fields, but Wang Ximei stopped him and said that he was helping Xia Zhongguo and couldn't get a centimeter, so there was no need to go, and he rarely went home to visit relatives on vacation. Take a good rest, after all he won't be at home for a few days and will be returning to the army.

Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo are not ignorant people. Although Chu Tianling is their son-in-law, he should do some work for the family, but working in the field is too much. After all, Chu Tianling and Xia Nuan are not officially married yet. Well, besides, Chu Tianling didn't help his family to work in the field when he came back. If Wang Ximei and the others really let Chu Tianling go to the field, the Chu family would inevitably have something to think.

"Brother Tianling, why don't you go up the mountain with me?" Xia Nuan took a few days off from school because of her engagement. Chu Tianling might not be able to come back once a year. Of course, Xia Nuan also wanted to have a good time with him at home. Let's get along with each other, so of course it was Xia Nuan who went up the mountain to feed the chickens and ducks these days.

Chu Tianling didn't know that the Xia family raised chickens and ducks on the mountain. It should be said that the whole village didn't know about it. After all, no one dared to go deep into the mountain.

Chu Tianling knew that Xia Nuan liked to go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt, but he still felt that the deep mountains were too dangerous for Xia Nuan to be a girl.

"Going up the mountain? Nuan Nuan, do you always go up the mountain? It's too dangerous. No one protects you. You should try not to go up the mountain." Chu Tianling knew that Xia Nuan liked to go up the mountain, but there were wolves and wild boars on the mountain. It's really not very safe, even Chu Tianling himself has to be extremely careful on the mountain.

After Chu Tianling said this, Xia Nuan remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to tell him about Zai Zai, and even without Zai Zai's protection, she could still protect herself with her own skills, but Xia Nuan didn't talk to Chu Tianling mentioned it.

Of course, it's not that Xia Nuan doesn't trust Chu Tianling, it's just that when she and Chu Tianling wrote letters, they wrote about their daily situations, and she really forgot to tell Chu Tianling about this.

"Well...Brother Tianling, I have something to tell you, but you have to promise me that no matter what I say, you are not allowed to get angry with me." Xia Nuan finally planned to confess. She didn't say it before but just forgot about it. , it would be bad if you don't say anything now.

Seeing Xia Nuan like this, Chu Tianling knew that there must be something serious to talk about, "Okay, tell me, what else can I get angry with you for?"

"I... I have a good friend on the mountain. It's a tiger, but you can rest assured that it was raised by me and it won't be in danger." Xia Nuan gritted her teeth and told Chu everything without thinking about it. Tian Ling.

Chu Tianling thought it was something else, but Xia Nuan's words surprised him. Chu Tianling didn't expect Xia Nuan to be so courageous that he dared to raise a tiger, and it seemed that he should have been raising a tiger for a long time.

"This...old...tiger? Do your parents know? This is not a joke."

"Don't worry, Brother Tianling, my parents know about this matter, and now everyone in the village knows about it, and Zai Zai can enter and leave the village freely now and has not hurt other people for no reason. I guess I don't know now. You should be the only one!" Xia Nuan thought that Chu Tianling would know about it as soon as he got home, but he didn't know about Zai Zai at all.

"What? You mean that the whole village knows that you have raised a tiger? And they accepted it without any objection?" Chu Tianling felt that he must be dreaming now, how could Xia Nuan's words be true? Yes, if there was a tiger walking around in the village like no one else, he would only feel the creeps.

"That's right, there are wolves on this mountain, and the villagers can feel at ease if there are cubs to help us. If the wolves show signs of going down the mountain, they can prepare in advance, and the cubs have not hurt anyone when they come and go in and out of the village. The village chiefs also agreed to let Zai Zai come and go freely in the village."

Xia Nuan probably told Chu Tianling what happened that day, and Chu Tianling was taken aback for a while. He didn't expect that it was because of this reason that the villagers accepted Xia Nuan's tiger so easily.

But this is not bad. Although Dafeng Village is considered rich, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The beasts on the mountain will occasionally go down the mountain to look for food, especially wild boars and wolves. These two animals alone are enough for the villagers to have a headache. Now there are It is much safer for Xia Nuan's tiger to help watch the villagers down the mountain.

"Okay, but even if this is the case, you still have to be careful on the mountain in the future. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it can't beat the wolves. Remember that there is no need to go into the deep mountain." Chu Tianling wanted Xia Nuan not to go up the mountain in the future. , but he also knew that this was definitely impossible, so he had no choice but to tell Xia Nuan not to go to the deep mountains as much as possible, if he was outside the mountains, he could still be safe.

Knowing that Chu Tianling was worried about her safety, Xia Nuan agreed to come down. After preparing the food for the chickens and ducks on the mountain, she went up the mountain with Chu Tianling.

Seeing the things that Xia Nuan brought, Chu Tianling was very curious, "Nuan Nuan, didn't you go up the mountain to pick herbs? Why did you bring these things to feed the chickens and ducks?" Chu Tianling thought it was Xia Nuan who brought the things. Confused!

"Brother Tianling, don't worry, I'm going to take these things up the mountain. Our family raises some chickens and ducks on the mountain. Don't talk about these things. It's not a good thing to show off now." Nuan was worried that Chu Tianling's mouth was not strict, so she deliberately explained a few more words.

"Raising chickens and ducks on the mountain? Who would have thought of this? With so many beasts on the mountain, can the chickens and ducks be kept?"

"You forgot what I just told you. The chickens and ducks I raise will not be a big problem if they have cubs to help look after them, and it doesn't matter if you lose a few of them if you feed them once a day." Xia Nuan reminded Chu Tianling her There is also a helper on the mountain, otherwise there is no one on the mountain, how dare Xia Nuan raise chickens and ducks on the mountain, it would be nice not to lose everything.
