Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 4

Father Tian took a deep breath and said, "I don't care if I'm polite or not. I will give pomegranate as a dowry to Qian's house no matter how many gifts the Qian family brings, and I won't keep it for my son. Although My son Shi Yazi is going to get married in two years, but my family has saved some money and food over the years. It is not difficult to marry a wife. Unlike other families, my family has raised four or five sons. Chairs and porcelain bowls can fight each other. There is only one son in my family, and there is no need to divide the family. Moreover, Pomegranate’s mother and I specially saved some soft goods for Pomegranate to make jewelry. We hope that she will be looked down upon when she comes to her in-law’s house. If next month I am in a hurry to arrange a wedding, I am afraid that others will laugh at Pomegranate and be criticized, maybe the Qian family will not value my Pomegranate because of this in the future, thinking that my Pomegranate is looking forward to getting married."

The matchmaker was stunned when she heard this. She really didn't expect that the Tian family would be willing to give their daughter so much dowry. Although there are a few households in every village that save some treasures, they are all used to marry their sons. It was the first time I heard that it was going to be a dowry for my daughter.

She clasped her palms together vigorously, and there was a "snap" sound, "Oh, Father Tian, ​​you have to put that heart in your stomach, the Qian family definitely values ​​pomegranates, we are here in Yinshan Town As far as the entire Qinghe County, as long as it is a rural family, there are very few people who can invite big red sedan chairs to greet relatives. The Qian family said that as long as your family agrees, his family will invite four big sedan chairs to carry pomegranates. How can you be looked down upon by others?"

Father Tian and Mrs. Lin were overjoyed when they heard that, if Pomegranate could marry into Qian's family in a red sedan chair, it would indeed be quite a sight!You must know that there are so many girls in Taohua Village, because most of them are good-looking, and they are all married to wealthy families, but none of them can sit in a sedan chair. to in-law's house.

The matchmaker saw the happy expressions of the two of them and knew that the matter was almost over, so she said while the iron was hot: "Brother Feng has a good temper, he always smiles when he meets everyone, and he always says 'Hello, how are you? ’, he is always wishing everyone a happy life, what a kind child.”

After repeated persuasion by the matchmaker, Father Tian and Mrs. Lin nodded.When Shiliu learned that her parents had agreed, she felt a little shy now, and she was too embarrassed to come out to give the matchmaker away.

When the matchmaker walked away, she heard Pomegranate running out of the kitchen and said to her parents, "Is it okay for our family to cook peanuts tonight? Three catties!"

The matchmaker looked back at Shiliu's round figure from a distance, and couldn't help whispering, "He's really a foodie."

It was already dark when the matchmaker arrived at Qian's Village, and the Qian family was eating around the table. There were seven members of the Qian family, except for the old couple of the Qian family and Qian Feng, and Qian Feng's elder brother's family of four.Brother Qian Feng's name is Qian Tong. He married his wife eight years ago and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

When Qian Feng heard from the matchmaker that the Tian family had agreed to marry Pomegranate to him next month, he immediately jumped up, "Who said I'm going to marry that Tian Pomegranate next month, and sweet grapes? I have to go and see her." That's fine, marriage matters can't be trifled with!"

The matchmaker saw Qian Feng's tall and big expression, and she was so surprised that she was scared to retreat.Father Qian saw that the matchmaker was afraid of Qian Feng, so he went to the room and brought three catties of white sugar to the matchmaker. The stupid and stupid food, one is a lazy bone with a strange problem. She is really incredible as a matchmaker, and even put these two people into a pair.

Qian Feng put down the bowl and was about to go out, but was pulled back by his parents and elder brother Qian Tong.

Qian Feng's mother, Mrs. Yang, persuaded her earnestly: "My son, you have met Pomegranate before, and you agreed to marry her before, why are you thinking about seeing her now? It will only take about a month, and when she enters After entering your bridal chamber, you can see whatever you want."

Qian Feng jumped up, "Oh, my old lady, you are still not happy, I have a bad memory, I forgot what the pomegranate looks like, last time I heard you and dad said she was already dead, so I nodded, because you said goodbye The girls here are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are still underage, and their parents don't agree. But now I think, no, I have forgotten what a pomegranate looks like, how can I just marry her in a daze go home?"

At this time, Qian Feng's sister-in-law, Ge Shi, threw her chopsticks on the table, "Second brother, are you still letting the family eat? How can you go to see other girls before you get married? What do you mean by underage? A girl washed her body at the age of twelve or thirteen, and was already an adult at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Besides, don’t you think it’s farting to be engaged? Since you have made an appointment, you will get married sooner or later. It’s better to get married early than late, you It would be nice if someone with this stinky body is willing to marry you, why are you picking and choosing? You hurry up and get married, and after you get married, the family will be separated. It is really a pain to eat at the same table with someone like you!"

Unconvinced, Qian Feng stepped on the stool and asked in bewilderment: "Sister-in-law, why do you suffer if you eat at the same table with me? I made this big plate of chicken!"

Ge Shi stood up with his hands on his hips, "You still have the nerve to talk about the chicken, this hen is the only one in the family that can lay eggs, and you cooked it in the pot while your parents were away, and you won't even be able to eat eggs at home. What day should it be called?"

Qian Feng said anxiously: "The family hasn't eaten meat for more than half a month, so what if I cook a chicken, I think you eat the most!"

"Okay, okay!" Father Qian stared at Qian Feng, "It's really outrageous for a brother-in-law to quarrel with a sister-in-law!"

Qian Tong also pulled Ge Shi, and said in a low voice: "Stop arguing, didn't you just say that the chicken is delicious?"

Ge Shi stepped on Qian Tong's foot under the table, Qian Tong grinned in pain, and then fell silent.

Mrs. Yang took her son Qian Feng to sit down, and said, "You can finish the big plate chicken you made first!" Then she glanced at Mrs. Ge, "If the family is separated, the family will be separated. After the second child marries pomegranate, it may not be possible. It will be worse than you, I heard that Pomegranate can work as hard as a big man!"

Ge Shi pursed his lips and did not speak, but Qian Feng opened his mouth wide in shock. What would a woman look like if she could work as hard as a big man? The image of a strong man suddenly appeared in his mind, and then he imagined The appearance of a female man does not seem to be a gentle and pleasant girl no matter how I imagine it.

He was a little apprehensive.
