There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 74

When the sound of horseshoes rattling outside, Qiaoqiao ran out and opened the door violently. Tears kept rolling down, and she couldn't wipe them off in a hurry. In her blurred vision, the carriage turned a corner and disappeared. She couldn't hold on any longer. Couldn't help but squatted on the ground, crying loudly.

"Let's go, girl." The soldier Li Yuanchen sent to escort him back quietly guarded her, listening to the sad cry, felt a little pity for her.

After being delivered to the place, the soldier stood at the door, thinking that seeing his relatives, the girl would cry even harder, but he heard a happy and joyful voice: "Mom, are you all packed? Let's go Let's go tomorrow morning, okay?"

"it is good!"

The soldier walked far away and couldn't hear the voice inside. He couldn't help sighing softly when he thought of his relatives who were far away in his hometown.

The next day was a fine day. The whole family made preparations yesterday and got up early in the morning. Cheng Daman also went out to buy some and came back early. He ate hot buns and was full of energy.

Ning looked at her daughter a few times, seeing her smiling and tidying up without any signs of discomfort, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.She would rather watch her daughter cry and fuss, it is even more uncomfortable to hold it in her heart.

The carriage was hired by Ning Weifeng. The driver was very skilled and the journey was safe. It only took eight days to arrive home.It took two days less than when I went there.

Qiaoqiao is back, the village is so big, it must be impossible to hide it, since it is so, it is better to walk back openly, so as to save so much explaining in the future, making people suspicious.

Ning asked Qiaoqiao to put on the new clothes he specially bought for her, dressed her up well, and then walked back to the village.

Everyone asked about Qiaoqiao in amazement, Qiaoqiao just greeted her with a smile, and Ning answered all the rest of the questions for her.

Although Qiaoqiao is still the same Qiaoqiao, after going out for so long and experiencing so much, she looks a little more calm and serene than before. She is much prettier, and even her silent appearance feels like a lady from a rich family.

On the first day, everyone was discussing in the background, but in the following days, they all let go, went directly to the house and began to make side-talking noises.

Qiaoqiao was sitting in her hut, embroidering a handkerchief, listening to the conversation in the next room, with a bitter smile on her lips.She came back, and she still combed the little girl's hair, which made her look better, and the reason for her return was covered up by her mother with a more suitable and legitimate reason.Of course, she knew what these people were up to.

Ning didn't know what she was thinking, she didn't dare to force her, although she was anxious, but every time this kind of thing happened, she always used other words to divert the topic, she knew all this, she made mother difficult.

Moreover, when she chose to return to this village, she didn't actually want to leave Zheng Cang and stay with her parents, so that they would no longer worry about herself?She died so inexplicably in her last life, and she didn't know how many tears her parents shed for her.In this world, the kindness of parents is the greatest, if she can only choose one of the two, she chooses to be worthy of her parents.

She couldn't be filial in her last life. In this life, she can't do this kind of thing anymore. She wants to stay not far from them. When they get old, she often comes to see them, help them wash their clothes, and do things like that. Meals and chats, these are things that no amount of money can buy.

It has been more than four months since she came back in a blink of an eye, and the weather has started to turn hot. On this day, she was wearing a new suit of clothes that her mother insisted on making for her, and she was drying the washed clothes in the yard when she heard someone call the door.

Qiaoqiao wiped her hands and opened the door. A woman in a red satin shirt came in. She was in her 30s, with a faint scent of powder on her body, a round face, and a festive smile.

"Girl, this is the Cheng family, right?"

"Yes."

Looking at her attire, [-]% to [-]% is a matchmaker, but she doesn't look like a superficial and ignorant matchmaker in the village, but rather dignified, Qiaoqiao looks at her with some uncertainty.

Although people kept coming to inquire about her in the past few months since she came back, no one really dared to come and talk about the matchmaking proposal.

"Who is it?" Ning probably heard the commotion outside, and walked out of the house.

"This sister-in-law, is the Cheng family's sister-in-law?"

"Yes, are you?"

"It's a good thing, come on, let's go talk in the room." He took Ning's hand and walked into the room, smiling at Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao continued to dry the clothes she washed in the yard, and the voices in the room reached her ears without saying a word. As she expected, someone came to propose marriage to her.

"He's a new leader from our county. He's young. He didn't even have a concubine or a girl before. He only had two young men by his side, two old men who are not young, and one of them still has some legs. Lame, I heard that the old man rescued him when he was a soldier, and he took care of him later on, such a character can be counted."

"Here, what kind of official position is the leader? Did you go to the wrong place?" Ning asked in confusion, a little in disbelief.

"How can this be wrong, sister-in-law, I can't be willing to marry you if you say that?" The matchmaker made a small gesture very intimately, and the relationship seemed to be a little closer: "This matter can't be wrong. That's right, it's going to be wrong, I don't want my face anymore. That's right, I saw it, it's the little girl in the yard just now, she looks handsome, not bad. Let me tell you, this leader ..."

After Qiaoqiao dried the clothes, she put the laundry basin against the wall to dry it, so that the wooden basin is not easy to get moldy.

The room talked for a long time, and she listened to it intermittently, but she sat on a small chair in a daze, looked at the sky with her cheeks in her hands, basked in the warm sun, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

This matchmaker is not one of those women in the village who have the guts to inquire, but a professional matchmaker. Her mother's changing the subject and pushing back and forth are useless. Listening to her mother's step by step, she is almost overwhelmed. She sighed and stood up. body.

Before she could say anything, the sound of chaotic footsteps came outside the courtyard gate.Immediately afterwards, two people came over carrying a large box and put it directly in the yard.

Ning and the matchmaker also came out.

"No, the leader really fell in love with the girl. I was very impatient. I came here, and I followed someone to give you some gifts. Don't worry, sister-in-law, this is not considered a betrothal gift. There will be more of them by then. Very. This is just a small point."

Ning's face darkened, how could this be so, she simply forced her to accept the gift and agreed to the marriage: "No, please send these away as soon as possible, that's not what a matchmaker says."

Unexpectedly, the two people who brought in the things turned around and left, and just put the big box in the yard. The matchmaker looked at Qiaoqiao with a smile.

Qiaoqiao just felt that something was wrong, she looked at the matchmaker, she didn't look like the kind of ignorant person, her smile was like looking at a young couple who had a temper tantrum.

She came over and took Qiaoqiao's hand: "My good girl, and my sister-in-law, you will agree to the marriage I told you. Don't worry about it. If I can't make it today, I will ask you tomorrow." If you come back, you can’t do it tomorrow, but you can continue the day after tomorrow. Zheng Canling said that if you disagree with it one day, you will wait for one day, and if you disagree with it for a month, you will wait for one month. However, if you still disagree after three months, you will be fine. I just came here to snatch the kiss." As she spoke, she laughed, not the kind of smug smile, but a kind smile.

Qiaoqiao froze, "What's his last name?"

The matchmaker took Qiaoqiao's hand, opened the box without answering, and Ning Shi also followed.

The box was very big, and there was nothing visible underneath. On the top were a few bolts of good-quality silk, some decorations, and a few jewelry heads packed in large boxes.Although it's not expensive, but for a family like Qiaoqiao's, it's already very, very important.

"However, these things are incidental. Zheng Canling said that there is one thing that is the most valuable, so I want to give it to you specially. He said that he brought out such things. You will definitely marry him without hesitation." .”

Ning seemed to understand something, and took two steps back.

"Look, this is it." The matchmaker took out a purse from the most exquisite and compact box, it was very big, old and rough, the embroidery was not fine, the workmanship was not good, and there was nothing good about it, so she took out this , Qiaoqiao's tears fell down.

"Here, girl, it's time for Mr. Cangling to agree. As soon as you show this, you will definitely marry him without hesitation."

Qiaoqiao burst into tears and smiled: "Who, who said it, you tell him, I hesitate, I have to hesitate for a long time, it depends on whether he is sincere."

"Hey, okay, just wait, I'll tell you when I get back. I'm leaving now."

After sending her away, Ning couldn't help but shed tears, and hugged her daughter: "My son, is Zheng Cang back? My son, the end of all hardships has finally come, and the mother almost couldn't help but agree to someone else." .my son!"

"What's the matter, what's the matter? What's the matter? Hey, how did you get the box? Ah? There are many things in it, all good things, valuable things." Cheng Zhiyuan came in from the outside chattering.

"Father, big brother..." Qiaoqiao saw the people closest to her in this life walking towards her one by one through her tears. She wiped away her tears, smiled brightly, and walked towards them.

In this life, no more regrets!
