Chapter 87

Was it time spent in the county town? By the time Dou Hua and the others rushed back to Dou’s Village, it was already dark. The younger brothers and sisters at home, Dou Dashan’s family were all waiting impatiently. went out to find them.

"Eldest sister, brother-in-law'Second brother, you are back'We have been waiting for you, Brother Huzi has come to our house a few times'I am worried about what happened to you'Just now I said that I would set up a car to meet you Well." Dou Lin and his younger sister Dou Hong were waiting at the entrance of the village, 'See Dou Hua and the others come back' and ran over impatiently.

Hearing that his family members were waiting so impatiently, Dou Qing was a little embarrassed, if it wasn't because of his and Li Yuemei's affairs, they should have come back a long time ago.

"Okay, isn't this back? I'll take the medicine to uncle, you guys go home first." Dou Hua said.

"Sister, let me go." Dou Qing jumped out of the car, took the medicine bag in her hand, and ran all the way to Dou Dashan's house.

Dou Hua looked at Dou Qing's back, smiled and shook her head, led the two little ones into the donkey cart, and the family went home.

At home, Dou Cui stayed at home. One was to watch the house, and the other was to prepare dinner. The little girl was careful, thinking of her elder sister and brother-in-law going out for a day. Polenta, hot steamed buns, a piece of meat, cabbage, and tofu are stewed together in a large pot.

Dou Hua and the others smelled the aroma of the food as soon as they entered the house, subconsciously swallowed, their stomachs growled, they were indeed hungry.

"Eldest sister, brother-in-law, you are back," Dou Cui said happily, "Where is my second brother, didn't he come back with you?"

"Your second brother is going to deliver medicine to uncle's house, and he will be back in a while, Tweety, what kind of food is this, it smells delicious." Dou Hua said.

"Sister, it's the big pot dish you made last time. You stewed cabbage and tofu in a pot, cut the meat into slices, and cooked them together. I don't know if you can make that taste." Dou Cui said.

"Just smelling it makes people drool. The smell is definitely unmistakable. When your second brother comes back, we will eat." Dou Hua said.

"That's right, smelling it makes people's stomach growl." Jiang Ermeng followed up.

Dou Hua and his wife took the two little ones to wash their hands and face, and Dou Qing came back soon, and the family sat around the table to have dinner.

After dinner, Dou Hua cleaned the pots and bowls. There was nothing to do at night, and the siblings went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

Jiang Ermeng and Dou Hua went back to their own room, and had been running outside for almost a day. It was freezing cold, and Dou Hua's hands and feet were icy cold. She drank two bowls of hot porridge just now, which made her feel warmer.

Jiang Er shook Dou Hua's hand with a big hand, "Why is it still so cold, I'll get you a basin of hot water to soak your feet."

Dou Hua nodded, she was used to Jiang Ermeng washing her feet every night, which was also a little fun for the couple.

After soaking her feet in hot water, Dou Hua felt much better all over her body. She took off her coat and got into the bed. Jiang Ermeng washed her feet with the water she used to soak her feet, and then got into the bed. Dou Hua got into his bed In the arms, the two cuddled together, and suddenly became much warmer.

Because she was thinking about Dou Qing, after breakfast the next day, Dou Hua asked Dou Qing what he thought and when he wanted to get married. In Dou Hua's eyes, Dou Qing was still young, and by the end of the year But 15 years old, although it is the first month of the year, it is still a child after all, but Dou Hua also knows that in ancient times, most people matured precociously, and some people got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Dou Hua's thinking of modern people is not acceptable, but she still respects her brother's ideas. The so-called "do as the Romans do in the country", she herself is like this. She got married at a young age, so she was said to be married too late.

Dou Hua's idea is that if Dou Qing really wants to get married, she, the eldest sister, will definitely make arrangements and make it a success.

"Sister, you can do as you see, and I will listen to you." Dou Qing said with a blushing face.

Dou Hua: "..."

It's pretty good, I don't know what to do, Dou Hua now really feels that there is no one in the family to make decisions, it's really not good.

"The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, so it won't be possible this year, or it can only be done in the spring after the end of the new year, or it can be done in the twelfth lunar month of next year. If you think it's too early, it can be done in the next year." Dou Hua said.

"Elder Sister, I think spring will be fine." Dou Qing expressed his opinion.

"Um, will it be too early?" Dou Hua asked, she never thought that her younger brother was also impatient and wanted to marry his wife so much.

"Sister, Yuemei is three years older than me, so we can't delay any longer, and her mother's health is not good. After we get married, I want to take her mother over." Dou Qing said.

Dou Hua suddenly realized that after all, her brother was still thinking about the other girl.

Dou Qing, as the eldest son of the third family of the Dou family, getting married is a big deal. Dou Hua discussed the matter with her uncle and aunt. Dou Sishan and his wife were very surprised when they heard it. Dou Hua got married, and then Dou Qing was about to get engaged.

But when the two heard that the other girl had a seriously ill old lady, they frowned slightly, and when they finally heard that the girl brought her old lady to marry, they frowned even deeper, with surprised expressions on their faces .

"Hua girl, what you said just now was not a joke. This is the first time I've heard that my daughter married with her mother. You sisters have worked hard enough. Do you still want to take care of your mother for someone else?" said disapprovingly.

"What your aunt said is true. This is the first time I've heard of it. The other girl is three years older than Dou Qing. It's nothing to be old. It's just that her seriously ill mother, to put it bluntly, really dragged her down. Daughter of our family, we are a small family, and if there is no disease or disaster, we can still have a full stomach. If there is a sick person in the family, life will be difficult." Dou Sishan also said.

What Dou Sishan said is indeed the truth. These days, we depend on the weather, and the weather is good, and life is better. People are about to get sick, and it takes money to get medicine and see a doctor. A sickness drags on for a long time. Some people simply don't want to see a doctor and just wait to die. Before that, Li Yuemei's mother probably thought so too. The disease is getting worse and worse. It's not because she doesn't want to see a doctor, but because she has no money to see a doctor. It has always been a considerable expense.

Dou Hua naturally understands the worries of her uncle and aunt, and she also has these concerns, but when she heard the old shopkeeper of Baohetang say that the disease can be cured, this concern has faded a lot, she can see it, Dou Qing She wanted to marry that Li Yuemei wholeheartedly, and the two of them also had a friendship. She herself is not a person who can't be flexible. She was originally a modern core, and she felt that her current conditions were good, and it was okay to raise another person.

And Dou Hua also has a plan in her heart. If the Meng family comes to the Dou family in the future, the family affairs can be handed over to Dou Qing and his wife. She and Jiang Ermeng can also do other things to make money. Moreover, she herself There is another idea, that is, if there is a chance, walk around and see that there is no pollution, the natural great rivers and mountains, and it is not in vain to come to ancient times. Of course, these thoughts are all pondered in her own heart. someone else said.

"Yesterday, we asked the old shopkeeper of Baohetang to show Miss Yuemei's mother. The disease can be cured, mainly because it has been delayed for too long. It will be fine after two months of recuperation. Uncle, aunt, you guys I don't know, this kid Qing'er has already taken a fancy to this girl, and he has been in contact with her for a year, he really likes her, how can I not be the eldest sister?"

Dou Hua paused and continued, "I know the situation of my family. Life is a human life, and it will always get better and better. Don't you see that life in my family is getting better and better. Now that I am married, I will wait for Dou Qing to marry me." Once you have a daughter-in-law, you are considered an adult, and the family works hard, so you don't have to worry about not having a good life."

"Her mother's disease can really be cured? Will it cost a lot of money?" Mrs. Li asked.

"It can be cured, it won't cost a few silver, just spend the silver and earn it." Dou Hua said.

"Girl Hua'er, so you are willing to have this marriage?" Dou Sishan asked.

"Yes, uncle." Dou Hua nodded.

"Hey, you girl has an idea. Since you, the eldest sister, agree, we won't say anything. However, getting married is a big deal, so we can't be hasty. Let's do this. We don't know what the other party is like. Don't worry, let me inquire about it for you." Dou Sishan said.

"Well, then I'll trouble my uncle." Dou Hua said.

Dou Sishan was very concerned about his nephew's marriage, so he went out the next day and asked acquaintances. Some people in Doujia Village were working as helpers in restaurants in the county town, and some had relatives there. Dou Sishan ran away. Several companies, finally inquired about some things, and learned that the other party is a diligent and good girl, and I have a bottom line in my heart.

Later, the couple had a discussion and felt that the girl was pretty good. They hoped that Dou Qing could settle down as soon as possible. They thought it would be better to get engaged and get married earlier, but they had the same idea as Dou Qing.

Since my uncle and the others said so, and Dou Hua had no objection, she discussed it with Dou Sishan and the others. On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, they invited a well-known matchmaker from several surrounding villages to talk about matchmaking. Dou Sishan and his wife , Dou Hua and his wife took Dou Qing with them.The two families sat together for an engagement meal and exchanged engagement gifts, and it was considered an engagement.
