Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 29 No.20 Chapter Nine: Playing around

Not to mention that Zhang Lihua is envious of Song Qiu's good luck, even the old Yuan Shi was too shocked to speak when he saw that his granddaughter had picked up a colostrum fungus again, and there were still so many, much more than last time. .

Her granddaughter is really lucky!
It seems that since he was seriously ill, this blessing seems to have come out.

For a while, old Yuan was both happy and worried.

I am happy that my granddaughter is blessed, and luck is a good thing.

But I was worried that my granddaughter couldn't hold back when I was so lucky.

The old Yuan thought that when he went to Songshan Temple on the Dragon Boat Festival, he must kowtow to the black Buddha more often, asking for a peace talisman to bring to his granddaughter, so as to bless her with this blessing.

After picking up so many gallinaceous mushrooms, he will definitely go to town tomorrow, or he will be blind for nothing.

So the old Yuan immediately went to Wu Jin's house.

At this point, Wu Jin hadn't come back yet, but it was the same to tell his wife.

When I arrived at Zhou's house, I saw Jin Juhua was there, hanging out with Wu Jin's daughter-in-law Man Ju.

Seeing old Yuan Shi coming, the two daughters-in-law naturally greeted Auntie.

Old Yuan Shi made an agreement about going to the town to sell mushrooms tomorrow, and planned to go home, but Jin Juhua held her back.

"Auntie, you are the best matchmaker in our village. Don't rush away, just sit down and give us some advice!"

Jin Juhua and Man Ju's natal family are related, so the relationship is naturally different.

Seeing this battle, old Yuan Shi guessed that he was going to talk about the marriage of his children, and he didn't want to mix it up casually, but thinking of Ah Qiu, he took advantage of the situation and was pulled by Jin Juhua and sat down.

She didn't know many people, so it wouldn't do any harm if she wanted to meet Ah Qiu and listen to what others had to say.

This golden chrysanthemum has a lot of words, and people from ten miles and eight villages are the most well-informed.

"What idea do you want me, an old woman, to come up with? Chrysanthemum, what you said is right."

Jin Juhua waved her hands and smiled, her mouth was so sweet, "My aunt often runs around ten miles and eight villages to give birth to others. She has met many people and experienced many things. Man Ju and I don't have any mother-in-law in our family. , Auntie is nice, we will kiss as soon as we see it, and it is always right to ask auntie for her opinion."

Man Ju talked closely, and then followed up: "My Shitou, Auntie, you also watched him grow up. He has also reached his age. I am talking about him with Chrysanthemum. Auntie, let's listen together?"

Upon hearing this, old Yuan Shi realized that it was indeed a relationship between a son and a daughter, and Shitou's. For some reason, she paused for a moment, and then said, "Shitou is fifteen this year, right? It's time to start seeing each other, Manju you Which girl do you like?"

Jin Juhua spoke quickly, "It's a girl from my natal village. She looks good and is hardworking. She is about the same age as Shitou, but the dowry is a bit thicker than ordinary people's. But that family only has such a daughter, so it is right to be more painful. .”

"I also took advantage of the situation to meet that girl. She looks good and has a good temper, but the bride price is a little too much. Auntie, take a look, can this marriage be done?" Man Ju said.

It's another girl.

The face of Lihua appeared in old Yuan's mind, and he sighed almost imperceptibly, but he didn't show it at all, he just nodded along and said: "We look at girls because of their personality and character, of course, The appearance must be correct, right? Shitou is born well, this girl sounds good, Manju, you have met secretly, but you are a mother, so you don't know how to find a wife?"

Manju laughed when she heard it, she seemed to be very satisfied with the girl, but she continued: "Auntie is right, that's right, this bride price is really expensive, besides jewelry, you have to buy something else A dowry of ten taels of silver!"

Old Yuan's tongue clicked, the bride price of ten taels of silver was really expensive.

In the current market for dowry gifts, the average farmer's family is really satisfied, and at most five liang of silver is the dowry.

However, the Zhou family is quite affluent in the village, ten taels of silver must be taken out casually, it depends on whether you are willing or not.

There's no need to ask her about the idea of ​​the bride price.

Old Yuan Shi naturally wouldn't say anything about this matter, just a word, you think it's good, and the girl on the left and right sounds good.

And Man Ju didn't really want to hear what she had to say, but she just said it casually, and she also had an idea in her heart.

After thinking about it in her mind, she stopped talking about this matter and started talking about other things.

It's nothing more than some parents' short-sightedness and children's marriage.

Seeing that the time was almost up, old Yuan Shi really got up to go home. Today's sitting is not completely fruitless.

After all, there is Jin Chrysanthemum talking about it.

So the old Yuan family knew a lot. For example, the village head's mother-in-law fell in love with the daughter of a family in Dayao Village in front of her grandson. The family has a good family style and a simple population. There are only two children. Well, he can go to the kitchen under the living room, and his son is also good. He is studying in the town, and the master praises him for being knowledgeable.

This family's conditions are so good, the girl there is naturally watched by countless people. Old Yuan thought that even if the boy was good, he might not be suitable for their family, so he just listened and didn't think much about it.

But the other one mentioned by Jin Juhua, old Yuan thought it was a bit good.

This person is on the opposite side. There are several acres of Susukida at home, and life is relatively easy, but he lost his parents when he was young, and was raised by his grandparents. Now his grandma has gone, and only his grandpa is left to live with him.

This boy is very energetic and diligent at work. He can tidy up the fields at home by himself. He also has a good temper, doesn't talk much, and just laughs when he meets people. It's not annoying.

In this case, it must be good to the daughter-in-law, and the girl will be able to be the master of the house after marriage, without the pressure of the mother-in-law, the young couple will live a harmonious life, how beautiful?
Old Yuan thought it was pretty good, but he just thought about it. I heard that the boy had entrusted a matchmaker to help him meet him. If it is really destined, let's talk about it.

It's not like taking the initiative to rely on the past, after all, it's not like her family Ah Qiu can't get married.

Coupled with the fact that the family doesn't have enough money now, if they really fall in love so soon, she still won't be able to prepare a dowry.

So I just thought it was good, and old Yuan didn't mention it much when he went back.

When she entered the yard, Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua were sitting together in front of the pressurized well to clean the mushrooms, talking and laughing, at this point, Zhang Laodou and others who had been to Chengjiazhuang for a day still hadn't come back.

So these two people are not afraid of being talked about when they are joking.

Old Yuan looked at Zhang Lihua who was smiling happily, and thought about Zhou's family affairs, and couldn't help sighing again, what a pity.

She just entered the house on one end, and Zhang Lihua on the other end was whispering to Song Qiu, "I heard that my third uncle and three aunts have collected all the 500 taels of silver, and Sister Xinghua has already sent it to the county. There is a special place in the village to teach the rules of beautiful girls, and those who are selected have to learn the rules for half a year before sending them to the capital!"

"It's been spent on the left and right. I still hope that she will be promising and be selected to live a good life, but don't bring a catastrophe to the family."
