One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

24 The Big Name
"Mom, I use the money I earn. I can't have money, and I still let my sisters eat dry pancakes. Besides, I don't eat them often, or do you blame us for not bringing you food?" behave in a spoiled manner.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou listened, tapped Hongxue's forehead lightly, and said helplessly, "You..." But she didn't say anything more to blame.

"Oh!" Hongxue slapped her forehead with annoyed look on her face.

Everyone was startled and asked what was going on.

"Why did I forget to bring food for my little sister and the others, even if I bought a meat bun for each of them." Hongxue looked at Zhou Shi apologetically. "

"You little worrying woman! I thought it was such a big deal?" Mrs. Zhou spat, you bought so many things for your family today, it's normal for you to forget them for a while, don't forget them next time, as she said, she turned around Asked to the twins: "Is it Xianger Amao, you don't blame the eldest sister, right?"

"Yes! But I want to eat steamed stuffed buns, mung bean cakes, sesame cakes..." Amao said the names of several kinds of snacks in one breath. These snacks were only eaten by his grandma when he was in Jiang's house. However, Hongjie's cousin from the Erbo's family would occasionally get a few yuan, but he was always just watching and licking his fingers.

"Okay, okay, big sister will buy whatever we Amao want to eat in the future." Hongxue also recalled this scene in the original owner's memory, hugging Amao sadly and coaxing.

Zhou watched the children interacting with each other, her eyes were sour, and she was busy cooking in the kitchen, Hongyu obediently followed in to help.

When Mrs. Zhou came out with a large pot of mushroom soup, the children had already washed their hands and were ready to eat under Hongxue's leadership.

"Mother, why doesn't Amao have a name? Hongxue asked a very serious question. Why do all the boys in the Jiang family have names, but my younger brother can only be called by a nickname.

Although she knew that peasants used to follow the tenet of making a living with a humble name, but when she was a child, it was okay to call her a nickname, but if she went to school and called it, it would be a joke. Her younger brother must go to a private school in the future, not for the exam. Fame is only for studying and understanding, if possible, Xiang'er can also learn together.

As for the other two younger sisters who are a bit older, if they want to go, I will not object. If they don't want to go, I can teach them by reading books. Anyway, they don't need to test their achievements, as long as they know how to read and behave.

"Amao's name was given by your father. He said that he would wait for your father to come back to get his name. Who knows..." Zhou's voice was a little choked up when he said this.

"Mother, don't be sad, father will definitely come back." Hongxue could only comfort her in this way. She really didn't dare to expect that a person who hadn't heard from him for three years would have any chance of coming back, but mother definitely didn't think so. Just let her hope.

"Mother, didn't you say that we bought that pheasant last time from Chen Pengfei?" Hongxue changed the topic to a safe one: "Now that we have money, let's pay it back earlier."

"Oh yes, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it, look at my brain, I'll go after dinner." Zhou patted the back of her head and said.

Seeing that her attention had indeed been diverted, Hongxue stopped fussing about Amao's name. Instead, she told Zhou about what she had seen and heard in the town. Hongxue took care of the two little ones while they ate. The twins listened happily, asking a question or two from time to time, and Hongxue answered them patiently.

The whole meal was spent in this happy atmosphere. Zhou felt that Chen Pengfei was a single young man, and asking his own daughter to give him money would affect their reputation. take a trip.

But when she came back, she found a strange middle-aged woman in red standing at the gate of her courtyard.

"Excuse me, my sister, where does Jiang Zhou's family live?" the woman in red asked politely.

"I am Mrs. Zhou. Are you?" Mrs. Zhou looked at the visitor with a confused face.

"The old woman's husband's family name is Zhang, and she works as a matchmaker." The woman in red looked Zhou up and down, and then praised: "Sister, she has such a good manner all over her body. Pretty girl."

"It turned out to be Sister Zhang. If you have something to say, let's go into the room and talk." Zhou knows that people like matchmakers are the last ones to offend. This kind of people can speak well, and they usually eat with one mouth. , But this sow goes to heaven, it is really not difficult to turn black and white upside down, my family has many daughters, offending a matchmaker may affect the children's marriage in the future.

So she politely let people into the house, and when Hongxiang saw a guest coming, she hurriedly used the best bowl at home, filled a bowl of clear water and brought it in front of the woman, and went back to the house by herself under the signal of her mother.

"Sister Zhou taught her children very well! She knows how to treat guests at such a young age." Matchmaker Zhang said the truth.

"Where, my children are all spoiled by me, sister Zhang don't laugh." Zhou said politely before asking: "Sister Zhang specially came to find my younger sister, what's the matter?"

Matchmaker Zhang saw that Mrs. Zhou asked straightforwardly, so she didn't hold back, and said, "I heard that my sister is straightforward, but now it seems that she is not fake at all. Since my sister asked this way, I will say it directly."

"Please say."

"My sister came here today for the good relationship between the Jianglin family." Matchmaker Zhang said bluntly.

"Lin?"

"Yes, the Lin family. Isn't the son of the Lin family, Lin Jijun, engaged to your second girl?" Matchmaker Zhang reminded, "Now they want me to come..." She said with a look of embarrassment on her face.

It was only then that Mrs. Zhou remembered the marriage contract between the two families. At that time, Hongxue's father had just won the prize of a scholar, and Mrs. Lin, her sister-in-law, urged her cousin to come to propose marriage, and settled the marriage with Shuang'er.

So what are they thinking of looking for this matchmaker now?Retire?

I heard that the kid from the Lin family is a well-known talent. He could compose poems at the age of seven and paint at the age of ten. Friction, it's not normal for them not to divorce.

Immediately said clearly: "Sister Zhang, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Then Matchmaker Zhang said slowly: "This time, my sister-in-law from the Lin family entrusted me to come here, and I didn't want to come here at first. That's how it is. The Lin family is going to retire the engagement, saying that you... that you disrespect your parents-in-law, I am afraid that the children you teach will be bad." Where to go……"

"What?" After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou wanted to get angry, and heard a clear female voice from outside the door: "Aunt Zhang, who said that my mother disrespected my in-laws? Lin Shen from the Lin family? Or my uncle?"

While talking, Hongxue stepped in, saw the angry Zhou, and comforted her first: "Mother, don't be angry, it's not worth it for such a listener."

"But……"

"Mother, trust me, let me handle it." Hongxue's whole body was full of momentum, and Zhang Matchmaker, who was sitting, felt an invisible pressure.
