Chapter 138

The old branch secretary was carrying two bottles of wine, a bag of marinated mutton, his hands behind his back, and the cigarette stick that was pinned to him, and walked slowly to the door of Shuihua's house.

"Uncle?" Li Laoshuan was quite surprised to see the old branch secretary.

Although the old branch secretary didn't want to see him, he didn't have much contact with him at ordinary times. Li Laoshuan knew what he was like, so he wouldn't go to the old branch secretary to make troubles by himself.

"Why are you here!"

The old branch secretary moved his hands behind his back to his front, and the wine and two oil-paper bags in his hands naturally caught Li Laoshuan's eyes.

"I want you to drink some wine and talk about something!"

Li Laoshuan's eyes lit up when he saw the two bottles of wine, and subconsciously swallowed, and before he even smelled it, the glutton in his stomach was hooked out first.

"Uncle, hurry up and sit in the room! Sit in the room!" Li Laoshuan enthusiastically bowed slightly to welcome the old branch secretary into the room, and the wine and meat in the old branch secretary's hand naturally came into his hands.

"Where's the splash?"

The old branch secretary glanced across the courtyard, but he didn't see Shui Hua.

Li Laoshuan smiled and said, "In the kitchen, I'm cooking."

"Shuihua, your uncle is here, fry some cabbage, and steam a few steamed buns!" Li Laoshuan shouted towards the kitchen.

As soon as Li Laoshuan finished speaking, Shui Hua had already come out of the kitchen and greeted the old branch secretary: "Uncle."

"Yeah!" The old branch secretary nodded slightly in response, with a kind smile on his face, and took the initiative to explain: "I'll talk to your father about something, and I'll deal with it at your house by the way!"

Shuihua also showed a smile on her pretty face. She was surprised to see the old party secretary, especially when she saw the wine and two oiled paper bags in her father's hand, she couldn't help feeling a little bit puzzled.

Why did the old branch secretary who had no contact with their family suddenly come to the door, and it was not too early or too late, but Ernst & Young Fu from Kushui Village entrusted a matchmaker to come to the door.

In an instant, Shuihua had already thought a lot in her heart, and even faintly raised some expectations.

"Uncle can come, my father and I are so happy that it's too late!"

"Uncle, it's cold outside. Come in and sit down, talk to my father for a while, and the meal will be ready soon!" Shuihua also said with a smile, she was really happy about the arrival of the old branch secretary, and she also said it from the bottom of her heart welcome.

The old branch secretary said: "This is the sauced beef and stewed mutton that Wang Zhong respected me, please warm it up!"

"Uncle, come as soon as you come, why did you bring something!" Hearing Wang Zhong's words, Shui Hua couldn't help but rippling in his heart.

"How can I come to the door empty-handed!"

Li Laoshuan hurriedly stuffed the two oil-paper bags into Shuihua's hands, "Okay, okay, let's heat it up quickly! Don't make your uncle wait too long."

As soon as the voice fell, he entered the door with the old branch secretary.

The big kang was burning warmly, and the two sat facing each other. Before the dishes were ready, there were two bottles of wine, two bowls, and two pairs of chopsticks on the kang table.

"I heard that a matchmaker came to your house yesterday?"

When Li Laoshuan was pouring wine for the old party secretary, the old party secretary took advantage of the opportunity to speak first.

Li Laoshuan smiled and poured himself a bowl: "There is indeed such a thing. There is a young man named An Yongfu in Kushui Village who said that he fell in love with my family Shui Hua and wanted to marry Shui Hua."

"Anyong Fu?" The old party secretary thought for a while, but he really didn't have any impression: "How is that kid?"

"I heard people say that he is a handsome young man, and he is also good at serving the fields! He is a good person, has a good personality, and is filial to his parents." Li Laoshuan didn't know the reason for the old branch secretary's visit, but he couldn't help but be happy because the An family was willing to give a mouthful. The water cellar, and other bride price gifts such as chickens and ducks.

"Life in Kushui Village is better than that in Yongquan Village!" The old branch secretary nodded slightly. This is not flattery. Kushui Village is closer to the water source than Yongquan Village. In Xihaigu, water means harvest, and life is sure It will be much better.

Of course, this is only relative. They are all in Xihaigu. Even if the life of Kushui Village is a little richer than that of Yongquan Village, it is not much richer.

Those who have some connections, all ran to the county town early, and went outside. Those who stayed in this ravine to make a living could only work hard on the fields, but these days, the situation is like this, no matter how capable they are. , just relying on the little output from farming is enough to make ends meet.

It was the first time for someone like Wang Zhong to return from a big city to a valley.

"It seems that this is Ernst and Young Fu, it's because your family Shuihua won't marry him!" The old branch secretary said with emotion.

That is a water cellar. Having a water cellar is equivalent to having an extra lifeline for the family. In a time of famine, it is a life-saving thing.

"Then what do you think?"

The old branch secretary understood that the key to this matter was not Splash, but Li Laoshuan.

The smile on Li Laoshuan's face was still there, and he raised his wine bowl to respect the old party secretary: "Marriage is a big matter, must you be cautious! I am the only woman, and her mother left early. I have worked hard all these years alone. It's not easy to bring her up so much, and we, father and daughter, are dependent on each other, so I will definitely find a good family for her."

What he said was like what a father would say, but it's fine to listen to it. If Li Laoshuan really wanted to enjoy the water, he wouldn't open his mouth to ask for a water cellar.

The old party secretary was very clear in his heart, and he didn't bother to expose Li Laoshuan, but said directly: "It means it hasn't been decided yet?"

Li Laoshuan said: "Marriage matters can't be settled once or twice, surely we should talk slowly!"

After all, it must be because of the bride price. Ernst & Young Fu is young, and he looks good-looking and has a good figure. It is said that he will not marry unless he is a water flower, but his parents and uncles have to think about the future. With so many betrothal gifts, no one can decide with one bite.

If Wang Zhong didn't intervene, it would definitely be the same as the original book. The two families discussed slowly, talked and talked, and each gave in a little bit before finally making a decision.

But now that Wang Zhong is here, things are of course different.

The old branch secretary didn't bother to beat around the bush with Li Laoshuan, so he said straight to the point: "Then I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. I'm here this time, and I'm entrusted by that bastard Wang Zhong to make love to you. .”

Li Laoshuan's eyes lit up instantly, but then he frowned again: "Wang Zhong? He also took a fancy to my family?"

He also thought about recruiting Wang Zhong as his son-in-law, but he was afraid that Wang Zhong was from the city and would look down on his family, Shuihua.

The old party secretary said angrily: "If you don't like it, can God send food and drinks to your family!"

As far as Wang Zhong's careful thinking, anyone with a little bit of vision can see it.

He asked Shuihua to help cook, but every time he gave a lot of rice, noodles, grain and oil, Shuihua was a real person, and he didn't want to take advantage of Wang Zhong, but Li Laoshuan was a money-seeker, how could he let go of the benefits he got? .

Many people in the village are quite critical of this matter, and they are very envious.

But I can't bear people to read about Wang Zhong's life-saving grace. There is a reason for this, even if others envy them, they can't find a reason.

You can't stop people from repaying their favor!
Besides, Wang Zhong didn't take care of Shuihua's family, the old branch secretary received more care, even Li Dayou went to the old branch secretary's house from time to time to play the autumn breeze.

The old branch secretary put down the wine bowl, looked at Li Laoshuan and said, "Wang Zhong, this kid, has no ability. He can burn bricks, tiles, build houses, and carpenter! He has been a soldier and has seen the world. , all your skills, don’t mention our Yongquan Village, these towns are from ten miles and eight towns, if you search hard, can you find the second one?”

Li Laoshuan nodded approvingly. He saw all of this. Wang Zhong's house was almost built by Wang Zhong alone. The main house had three large tile-roofed buildings made of green bricks, which were tough and grand. , the entire Yongquan Village, who would not be envious after seeing it.

With Wang Zhong's craftsmanship, no matter what he does, he will definitely not worry about making money.

In the past six months, Li Laoshuan has been watching how Wang Zhong's life is. If he marries a woman to him, he will definitely not suffer from poverty and live a hard life.

"Just the cabinet he built last time, and took it to the county. Do you know it sold for a lot of money?" The old branch secretary knew who Li Laoshuan was, so of course he had to prescribe the right medicine.

Li Laoshuan shook his head, but moved his head forward very curiously, and asked, "How much did you sell for?"

"One thousand and two hundred yuan!" The old branch secretary said: "He took Debao and Shuiwang to do it for ten days, and he sold it for one thousand and two hundred. Excluding the money for buying wood, he earned seven or eight hundred!"

"You've earned more than 700 in just ten days?" Li Laoshuan's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

He knew that the set of combination cabinets that Wang Zhong sold made money, but he didn't expect to make so much money.

"Didn't he earn more than 1000 in that month?" Li Laoshuan only felt that his forehead was a little congested, and his mind went blank for a while.

More than 1000 a month, [-] yuan in a year, Li Laoshuan didn't dare to think about it.

"It's no wonder this kid lives such a good life. He eats white noodles, eats meat and drinks."

The old party secretary didn't stop, "It's about the same. Recently, he set up the decoration team with the big boss in the county. He is only responsible for coming up with ideas, and he can get [-]% of the money. After the New Year, our village Those eight younger students can go to the city to follow them to work and earn money.

Which of these people from all over the world doesn't want to work in the county to earn money, why do they want our young people from Yongquan Village?That's because the big boss agreed to it because of his face.This is just the beginning. When the scale is up in the future, as long as it is the slack season, more people can go to work to earn money.

The more jobs he takes, the more money he makes!Think about it, if your family Shuihua married in the past, what kind of life would it be like! "

Wang Zhong didn't hide his money from the villagers at all. If he didn't make some achievements, how could the villagers trust him and how could he establish his prestige? , Then talk about bringing Yongquan Village out of poverty and becoming rich.

"Wang Zhong is so capable, why are they looking at my Splash?" It's not that Li Laoshuan has no confidence in his daughter, but that Wang Zhong is too good.

"Then do you think that Wang Zhong's little boy has a good life outside the big city, so why does he have to come back to our valley?"

"She hasn't forgotten her roots. Besides, the girl Shui Hua, even though she's our country girl, is no worse than those city girls at all!"

Regarding this point, the old branch secretary had asked Wang Zhong clearly a long time ago, and Shuihua was indeed excellent, otherwise, where would Li Laoshuan have the confidence to ask for such a high betrothal gift.

"That's true, not to mention anything else, just my family, Shuihua, from all over the world, I really can't find another one who is as good as her."

Although the old branch secretary looked down on Li Laoshuan, he still recognized Shui Hua.

Li Laoshuan was indeed moved, but he still hesitated, and the small calculations in his heart started again: "Then the betrothal gift?"

The old party secretary was already confident, but after hearing Li Laoshuan's words, he couldn't help feeling contemptuous in his heart, and really looked down on Li Laoshuan's short-sightedness.

Glancing at Li Laoshuan, he couldn't help saying angrily: "You are stupid, you are really stupid!"

Li Laoshuan was directly confused by what the old party secretary said, and looked at the old party secretary in a daze, not knowing what he did wrong.

The old branch secretary slowly picked up the bowl and took another sip, pouted his mouth, and said with a look of enjoyment on his face, "Let me ask you, what is the condition of Ernst & Young Fu's family? How many people are there? ? How many brothers and sisters?"

"The matchmaker said there were six people. Besides the parents, there was a grandmother, a brother, and a sister!" Li Laoshuan said truthfully, but his heart was pounding. He didn't know what the old branch secretary suddenly asked.

Looking at Li Laoshuan who was still in a daze, the old party secretary shook his head helplessly, and said, "Ernst and Young Fu's parents, Gao Tang, are still there, and there is a grandma. There are six people in the family. If Shuihua married, there would be seven people. In the future, his younger brother will definitely marry a wife. When the time comes, do you think Ernst & Young Fu will help or not?

With the current situation, if Shuihua really married in the future, what do you think will happen in the future? "

Li Laoshuan didn't speak, just smiled, his eyes were a little dodgy, he was guilty, he didn't think about it at all.

The old party secretary didn't stop, and continued: "Also, have you ever thought about it, what will you do when Shuihua is married? You are the only woman, Shuihua. If Shuihua is married, it will become a village of bitter water. You are a member of the An family, you are still young, and you can still do activities, but what about the future? What will you do when you are old?"

Li Laoshuan was taken aback by the old party secretary's words. He really hadn't considered this. When the old party secretary said this, he immediately became worried.

"But Wang Chong's baby, it's different!"

Li Laoshuan immediately understood what the old branch secretary meant.

"Old Wang's family is just like Wang Zhong, a single seedling. His grandfather and father are both martyrs, and his roots are young, and he himself is capable. You said that if Shui Hua married him, how many children would he have in the future? The two of them Kouzi is busy outside, who will bring them dolls?"

Li Laoshuan now feels like a master in a martial arts novel who has opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, seeing another world.

"If the two of them become successful, you will be the only elder in the future. If the two of them don't honor you, who else can they respect?"

"Then what did Wang Chong's son say?" Li Laoshuan was very moved, the old branch secretary's words had reached his heart.

The old branch secretary said: "If he didn't give me the truth, would I dare to say that?"

"That baby said, if you are willing to marry Shuihua to him, then he will take you over and live with him and Shuihua, and he will treat you as filial as a father, and will take care of you until the end of your life."

Li Laoshuan was very moved, but he still asked: "What about the betrothal gift? What did he say?"

The old branch secretary frowned, although he was a little displeased, he still followed Wang Zhong's words: "The child said, how much An's family pays, he pays double!"

"Double?" Li Laoshuan couldn't hold back his excitement, almost stood up suddenly, and looked at him in disbelief: "Did he really say that?"

"You don't believe me?" The old branch secretary didn't have a good impression of Li Laoshuan. If you marry a woman, you marry a woman. Parents want their women to live well in the future. In the entire Yongquan Village, only Li Old Shuan, for one, put a price tag on his own daughter, saying that he was talking about marrying a daughter, but that attitude was no different from selling a daughter.

It's also the girl Shuihua who strives for her own strength, is diligent and capable, smart and sensible, and has a good appearance, and she meets Wang Zhong again, otherwise she might be in the future!
"No, no!" Li Laoshuan was glared at by the old party secretary, and felt an invisible sense of oppression rushing towards his face, and immediately withered away.

The old party secretary has served as the village party secretary for many years, and his prestige in Yongquan Village is unrivaled. In particular, the old party secretary himself is higher than Li Laoshuan in seniority. He is an elder of the Li family. How dare Li Laoshuan be there? He bluffed in front of the old man.

"What do you think, give me a letter, and I can explain to that kid when I go back!"

Li Laoshuan chuckled, but his heart was already full of joy, and he couldn't hold back the smile on his face: "As long as he can do what he says, then I will definitely agree!"

The old branch secretary nodded, looked towards the door, and said, "Shuihua, you've been listening to it for so long, what do you mean by yourself?"

Standing at the door, Shuihua came in with two bowls blushing. The bowls contained beef and mutton that had been warmed up, and when they put the meat on the kang table, Shuihua did not dare to look directly at the old branch secretary.

"It's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, what can she mean? Besides, a good young man like Wang Zhong can't be found even with a lantern. How can she be willing?" Without waiting for Shui Hua to say anything, Li Laoshuan said Can't wait to answer first.

"I didn't ask you!" The old branch secretary immediately gave Li Laoshuan a stern look, and Li Laoshuan quickly shrank back, not daring to say anything else.

The old branch secretary looked at Shuihua again, and asked softly, "Shuihua, this is your lifelong event, what do you mean by yourself?"

Shuihua's heart has been scurrying around like a deer for a long time. She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, her eyes flickered, wandered away for a while, Shuihua calmed down, looked up at the old branch secretary, Asked: "Uncle, I... Brother Wang Chong really wants to marry me?"

"Of course it's true. That kid heard that a matchmaker came to your door to say hello to you. He almost got anxious. He ran to the county town to buy wine and meat at noon. He urged me to come over!" Seeing Shuihua like this , the old branch secretary let go of most of his hanging heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What do you think? Do you like that broken coward?"

"Uncle!" Shui Hua's pretty face, which was still blushing just now, has gradually returned to normal at this moment, and she summoned up her courage and said, "Tomorrow evening, I will cook some delicious dishes, and you ask Brother Wang Chong to come to my house by himself. I have something to say. Ask him face to face!"

"Okay!" Although the old branch secretary didn't understand, he still knew how to read words and expressions. Shuihua didn't mean to be unhappy in the slightest, but the idle young man was different from them at that time. Although the old branch secretary was old, he could Thoughts are less feudal.

"I'll let him come over tomorrow!"

"Uncle!" Li Laoshuan held the wine bottle in a somewhat doggy manner, refilled the half-empty bowl in front of the old branch writer, and refilled it for himself, and said with a smile on his face, "Drink! Drink!"

"Uncle, Dad, you guys eat first, and I'll get some cabbage!"

Tonight's dinner is quite sumptuous, braised mutton, sauced beef, cabbage, and steamed buns made of cornmeal brought by the old branch secretary.

But what made Li Laoshuan even more happy was the news brought by the old party secretary.

Wang Zhong actually fell in love with his daughter. Although Li Laoshuan planned to marry her to Wang Zhong early in the morning, he was worried that Wang Zhong would not like Shui Hua and refused to offer those betrothal gifts, making himself a joke in the end. .

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhong really fell in love with Splash.

Li Laoshuan suddenly felt grateful to the matchmaker, to Ernst and Young Fu who had taken a fancy to his family Splash.

They were in a good mood, and their appetites naturally increased. Li Laoshuan took the old branch secretary, one bowl after another, and after each meal, two catties of liquor went into their stomachs.

Li Laoshuan passed out immediately, and the old party secretary also staggered from drinking, and the road was unsteady. Shuihua was worried that the old party secretary would go like this. After taking away the kang table, let two people sleep on the same kang , Cover the two with a quilt.

The night was getting darker, Shuihua was lying on the kang, the room was dark, and there were snoring sounds one after another.

Not surprisingly, Shuihua suffered from insomnia again.
