Era: Start as a buyer
Chapter 10 Mother and Matchmaker
I brought some extra firewood, so I couldn't use it all at once to light a fire and boil eggs. Then he went to the mountain to see the traps and gave Luo Yan a few boiled eggs to eat.
And while Luo Cheng was boiling water, someone came looking for him again. It was his mother who came with the matchmaker. After Luo Cheng agreed to marry Zhao Qian yesterday, Accountant Zhao went directly to his parents' house. Luo Cheng asked Accountant Zhao to refuse to keep his daughter, and insisted on following etiquette and customs.
Now his mother brought people to Luo Cheng to confirm this matter and to tell her what she had discussed with Accountant Zhao yesterday. Accountant Zhao’s family doesn’t want betrothal gifts, and may even send some dowry. But it is important to make sure that the matchmaker is marrying, and the process of the matchmaker coming to propose marriage must be followed, so that Accountant Zhao can let people around him know that his daughter is getting married.
In addition, the betrothal gift is not needed. At any rate, we can organize two tables and invite some people to eat. Then the matter will be settled. Let everyone know that his daughter is married to Luo Cheng, and Luo Cheng, Accountant Zhao, also knows that if anyone dares to say that his wife had her pants taken off by a criminal, then Luo Cheng will really come to your door and make you feel uneasy. .
Luo Cheng also felt annoyed when he heard that there was going to be a banquet. Accountant Zhao was Moji, so he could just send his daughter to sleep. He, Luo Cheng, wouldn't admit it if he slept with someone else's daughter. When the time comes, he will hear someone gossip, throw excrement and put a sack on him, and do the same thing.
If Luo Cheng had never agreed to this before, he would not have the conditions to hold a banquet. Even if Accountant Zhao is willing to bear the money for the banquet, Luo Cheng is not willing. It is his ability to sleep with his daughter in vain. It would be a loss of face for the woman to pay for the banquet.
In addition, even if the marriage is just a formality, the matchmaker still needs to give a gift, which can be money directly or some food. According to logic, the matchmaker's gift should be paid by his parents, and Luo Cheng's parents knew that he was rich, so they only needed to spend fifty for the reward. Luo Cheng still had fifty, and even if he spent it, he couldn't spend it so fast.
In the end, it can be understood that Luo Cheng's family didn't pay for anything, and they could still have a meal together. At most, I can help Luo Cheng organize things, which can be regarded as a contribution.
Luo Cheng was already used to favoritism, so why not just hold a banquet, and Luo Cheng would guarantee that it would be glorious. In the future, even if you get married, you can live a small life by yourself behind closed doors.
For the matchmaker, give me a dime. If you give money, it's usually 50 cents for the matchmaker. Rich families are also given a piece of it. There are only so many in rural areas, but Luo Cheng in the city doesn't know about it. But the matter between Luo Cheng and Accountant Zhao's daughter was just a formality and was done.
Luo Cheng thought for a while and walked into the kitchen. The eggs he bought from the future space came in handy again.
Six eggs cost more than 30 cents these days, and sometimes you can’t even buy them if you have the money. But in the future time and space, it costs about three yuan at most. The three cents here are much more valuable than the three yuan there, and the money there is easier to earn.
I gave you the eggs. There is no need for Luo Cheng to come here to talk to the matchmaker. Luo Cheng's mother can just go. The main thing is to set a date and how to organize the banquet.
So Luo Cheng's mother and the matchmaker discussed some details with him first. When Luo Cheng's mother saw that her son wanted to light a fire, she directly helped him start a fire. And Luo Cheng didn't shy away from it. After the water was almost boiled, he directly threw ten eggs into it.
Luo Cheng's arrogant action made his mother's eyelids jump.
Ah Cheng, what are you doing boiling so many eggs this early in the morning?
I'm going to the mountains later to look at traps and get mountain goods. I don't plan to come back at noon. I'll cook some eggs and eat them in the mountains. I also plan to bring a few for Yanzi. My sister-in-law is too calculating. Yanzi will definitely not eat well at home.
Luo Cheng's mother and the matchmaker who came were confused. They were going to eat eggs as food. This was a waste of money. When we were not separated, we went up to the mountains frequently, but the food we ate was all wild vegetable dumplings, which were miscellaneous grains. This is pure eggs, which are finer than refined grains. With such a waste of money, it seems that Luo Cheng's remaining money won't last long.
Boiled eggs don't need to be cooked for too long as they will burst easily. After the eggs were cooked, things were almost done. In his heart, Luo Cheng resented his parents' favoritism, but they were his parents after all. Luo Cheng gave his mother two eggs to eat on the way, and he and Luo Yan could have four each. If his mother didn't come, he would just cook eight.
The eggs are placed in the shoulder straps. In the past, the Eighth Route Army used the shoulder straps to carry dry food during battles. Luo Cheng wanted to collect some mountain products in the mountains, so it would be convenient to wear a shoulder strap.
Before his mother left, Luo Cheng asked his father and brother if they had gone out. The answer they got was that they went out at dawn in the morning. There were many animals on the mountain in the early morning. The father and son had care when they went into the mountain, so they could go deeper. You can also make bigger traps in the mountains.
Knowing that only his sister-in-law was home with her children and Luo Yan at his parents' house, Luo Cheng set off directly. There were few people at home, so it was easy to call out his sister alone.
Huangfengling is also the only mountain outside the town. Luo Cheng's parents lived at the foot of Shanling Mountain, and there were other hunters nearby. The place where Luo Cheng placed the trap was not here, it was far away, and he didn't want to do anything big. Moreover, there are also large wild boars in other mountains, and there are not only wild boars in the mountains.
Luo Cheng soon arrived at his parents' house. People who lived near the mountains mostly had single-family homes and were not close to their neighbors. Then there will be a fence around the house, which can be made of wood or bamboo. It is not to prevent people, but to prevent animals from sneaking into the house at night.
Luo Cheng saw his sister Luo Yan washing clothes outside the guardrail. Hey, his clothes were washed by Yanzi in the past. If they had not separated, at least he would not be as sloppy as he is now. But it will be better in the future. If you marry Accountant Zhao's daughter, someone will do the laundry.
He found a pebble on the ground and secretly threw it at Luo Yan. He didn't want others to know that he was bringing food to Yanzi.
After hearing the debate, Luo Yan was startled by the stones and soon saw Luo Cheng outside the fence. Seeing Luo Cheng telling her to keep quiet, she quietly walked to Luo Cheng's side.
Brother, why are you here? Why are you sneaking around? Come and sit in the house. Dad and eldest brother have gone into the mountains.
I know that dad and brother have gone into the mountains. I will go to the mountains later, but not this big mountain. This time I am here to see you. I will bring you something. Take it and hide it quickly so that my sister-in-law can see it. You But I can’t keep it.”
Ah, eggs~~.
Luo Yan looked surprised when she saw Luo Cheng taking out an egg from his shoulder strap and giving it to her. She hurriedly put it in her pocket, and she had no intention of letting others know. It was not that she was selfish, she wanted to be generous, but her family was not as generous as her.
Women do not eat as much as men at home, but now my sister-in-law has to breastfeed her child, so her food is not bad. She, Luo Yan, had the least food at home, and her status in the family was not as good as that of her nephews and nieces.
If Luo Cheng saw his sister-in-law, he could say something to her if she was unhappy with her, but she didn't dare to do anything. Because no matter what, he is still a member of the Luo family and a male. Although Luo Yan's surname is Luo and she is also her biological daughter, she will get married sooner or later. Daughters are losers. This concept is the same in cities these days, let alone rural towns.
After giving the eggs, Luo Cheng and Luo Yan chatted for a while by the fence, mainly talking about Luo Cheng's marriage. Luo Cheng told her not to meddle in other people's business. Luo Yan had nothing to do with this matter. She was a woman or a biological sister. How to take pictures of a mother-in-law? If Widow Wang in the town could talk to him about this, even if she was older and had experience, it would be fine.
As for how to get a wife, Luo Cheng couldn't talk to Luo Yan. He had nothing to worry about when his parents and matchmakers came forward.
