Chapter 174
Making lotus leaf tea is actually very simple. Wash it and put it in the sun to dry, but tear it into small pieces and store it in a sealed container.

Of course, it is best to steam it in a pot and then take it out to dry, so that the color of the lotus leaf tea produced will be greener and the taste will be better.

Xu Lingyue cleaned the picked lotus leaves and prepared to steam them in a wok.

After steaming for a while, spread it flat on a bamboo sieve, then take it out and put it on the wall to let it dry naturally.

As for the lotus pod, Xu Lingyue didn't intend to eat it, but was going to peel off the lotus seeds inside and dry them one by one, so that they might be used in the future.

She peeled off the outer layer of green clothes and put them on a bamboo sieve to dry. She didn't take out the lotus seed cores inside.

The Qiao family at this time.

A thin old man bent over and was feeding chickens.

This person is Qiao Yan's father.

Qiao Yan came over at this time, and seeing this scene, she couldn't bear it, and said to the old man helplessly and distressed: "Father, didn't I say that my son would do these things, so you can rest well?" ?”

Ever since A Niang and Chun'er passed away, Dad became less and less talkative, getting older day by day, which made him feel very distressed.

"Anyway, it's okay to be idle. You have worked hard, Yan'er, and daddy can only help you with this." Qiao's daddy slowly raised his head and looked at him. Vicissitudes, said to him with a smile.

Apart from him, the Qiao family only had one daughter, but the daughter had already married away, so only he and Qiao's father were left in the family.

Both he and the younger sister are old men, and my mother only had him in her thirties, and a year later she had the younger sister.

Dad is already old, over half a hundred years old, he should be full of children and grandchildren, but the Qiao family is only guarded by them. Even if Dad doesn't say it in his heart, he knows that Dad is actually looking forward to the scene of full children and grandchildren. Every time I see the children in the village, I like it very much, but because of him, Dad always hides it in my heart.

He also knew that he was unworthy, but he really couldn't force himself.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yan lowered her head guiltily.

But when he thought of Xu Rou, his eyes were full of firmness.

This time, he must not miss it again.

Qiao Yan actually wanted to talk to Qiao's father about something, but seeing his old appearance, he didn't know how to speak. He was afraid that his father would be angry or that his father would disagree.

After a long time, he finally summoned up his courage, raised his head and looked at Father Qiao: "Father, I want to marry a wife."

Hearing this, Qiao Apa's hands stopped in an instant, as if the words were unbelievable. After a while, he turned his gaze on Qiao Yan excitedly, his thin body even trembling slightly.

There were even faint tears in his eyes, and his voice trembled: "Is this true?"

"It's a girl from the Xu family." Qiao Yan resolutely continued to finish the second half of the sentence.

As soon as the words were finished, Father Qiao didn't speak for a long time, his eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qiao Yan was very nervous, fearing that her father would disagree.

"That girl Xu Rou, okay, okay, so you two can be regarded as keeping the clouds open to see the moonlight." At this moment, Father Qiao raised his eyes, looking at him with slightly excited eyes, faintly flickering. Tears, sighed.

Alas, this kid has always been thinking about that girl Xu Rou. Don't think that he, as an old man, doesn't know.

Now that girl has also reconciled, if that girl is still interested, the two people will be regarded as a continuation of their relationship.

Xu Rou's girl can be regarded as he and the old woman grew up watching him grow up. At the beginning, by mistake, the two married separately, and the old woman felt regretful.

"Father, let's find a matchmaker to go to Xu's house and ask what their family means." Father Qiao was overwhelmed with excitement.

Qiao Yan was moved: "Father, you..."

"You boy, those small thoughts in your heart, I am not blind, how can I not see it."

Then, the father and son discussed which matchmaker to find.

There is a matchmaker Liu in the village, and she has to go to the town, but it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

In the end, I decided to try the matchmaker Liu first.

……

The camera turns back to the Xu family.

Everyone was busy with their own work, and soon the morning passed.

Xu Lingyue was flipping lotus leaves in the yard, when she saw a familiar figure, she hurried to the house and told Wu Shi: "Mother, that matchmaker Liu is here again."

"She dared to come, it seems that she hasn't been scolded enough yet." When she heard that it was Matchmaker Liu again, Wu's face almost crooked in anger, and she rolled up her sleeves angrily, looking like she was about to fight.

Xu Lingyue was frightened, and quickly persuaded: "Ah, mother, don't be impulsive."

"Hum..." Mrs. Wu snorted coldly, picked up the broom beside her and walked out angrily.

She regretted it a little at this time, she knew that she should drive him away directly instead of telling A Niang immediately.

This mother's violent temper has already quarreled with that Liu matchmaker this morning, so she won't fight this time.

Alas, that matchmaker Liu is really patient, so it's possible that the matchmaker kept coming to the house because she couldn't say it.

"Aniang, don't be impulsive." Xu Lingyue hurriedly called out from behind.

Naturally, other people in the room heard the movement and came out one after another. Xu Rou was the first to ask, "Little aunt, what happened?"

"Matchmaker Liu is here, Xiao Rou, stay inside and don't come out." She said something in a hurry and chased her out.

Hearing this, Xu Rou felt a little guilty and nervous.

Xu Qian, who was next to her, followed her out to join in the fun.

In the yard.

Matchmaker Liu has been lingering hesitantly at the busy door, with a little fear on her face.

After all, she had just quarreled with Mrs. Wu in the morning, and she hadn't won the quarrel, so she was kicked out by the other party.

After such a shameful thing happened, she naturally didn't want to come to Xu's house.

But not long ago, the elder brother of the Qiao family came to her and asked her to talk about a marriage. She never expected that the person was Xu Rou again. So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over.

But when she got to the door, she started to vomit, her whole scalp started to go numb, and she was afraid that the embarrassing thing in the morning would happen again.

"Okay, you still dare to come, it seems that you haven't been beaten enough." Wu's face was livid, with a broom in his hand, his sharp eyes fell on Liu Matchmaker, and he said angrily .

After hearing this voice, Matchmaker Liu's scalp instantly went numb, she covered her head and her body trembled, feeling terrified.

Wu Shi pretended to hit her, but the broom fell into the air.

"Old sister, I misunderstood, I misunderstood." Liu Matchmaker forced a smile and said to her quickly.

Xu Lingyue, who dared to come later, saw that the broom was standing in the air, and quickly persuaded Wu: "Aniang, don't be impulsive."
