Jiang's courtyard.

Everyone looked at the Li family going away and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Ms. Jiang, I'm afraid your food is not clean. How could someone have diarrhea after eating it?!" Li Dayong's wife came back to her senses and immediately questioned.

Jiang Wei glanced at her coldly: "I still say the same thing. Everyone eats the same food. If others eat it, it will be fine. If something happens to someone, it can only mean that it is his own problem."

"I'm talking to Dayong's wife, Chunmiao, my mother, and I cooked this meal ourselves. We woke up early and stayed up until late at night. How could it be unclean?" Qiulian laughed angrily. Li Dayong's wife questioned whether the food was unclean, which meant she was questioning their work. Attitude, how could she endure it?

"That's right, I've been washing these cabbage spring sprouts all morning, and my fingers have turned white after washing them. How could they be unclean?" Even Mrs. Zhao, who has always been honest and sweet, said, "And this pork, it's Xiaoxiao's mother's fault. I went to the butcher's house in town to buy it, and when I got it back, the blood hadn't even dried yet, so it was still fresh."

Listening to the two men defending their mother, Jiang Xiaoxiao lowered her head with a guilty conscience.

Although there is definitely no problem with her family's food, what Mrs. Zhao said is too exaggerated. Her mother-in-law did not get up early and go to town at night, but just took pork from the space...

"Oh, okay, okay." The sister-in-law of the Zhang family came out to talk to Xini, "Why are we getting so noisy on this beautiful wedding day? Everyone, please feel free to eat. There is absolutely no problem with Xiaoxiao's family's food. Everyone has eaten so much. If Problems have already arisen.”

After everyone heard this, they felt it made sense.

Everyone is fine after eating for so long, so what happened to the old lady of the Li family is probably because she was not lucky enough to enjoy the food of the Jiang family.

"You can't stop saying a few words and embarrass me all day long!" Li Dayong glared at his wife.

"I just said a few words casually." Li Dayong's wife curled her lips and was still mumbling in a low voice, but she did not stop holding the meat in her hands.

Jiang Wei cast a grateful look at Qiu Lianniang and the others: "Qiu Lian, Sister-in-law Zhao, you have worked really hard these days. Come to me to settle your wages when the banquet is over."

"Everything you say is from the villagers. Small things like banquets are what you should do." Qiu Lianniang said with a smile, "The piece of soap your Xiaoxiao gave us a few days ago is enough to pay for dozens of days of wages for us. Okay, how can we charge you extra money?"

"Ms. Xiaoxiao, I don't have anything good to give you when you move to a new house. Liu'er's father went to the mountains to find some reeds a few days ago. I looked good and made some mats." Sister-in-law of the Zhang family He took out the prepared gifts and said, "These reed mats will be very cool when spread on the bed in summer. I will send two to your house and spread them on Xiaoxiao in the summer."

"Sister-in-law Zhang, you're welcome." Jiang Wei smiled and accepted the mat.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took a closer look. It was a purely hand-woven reed mat. It was very clean and soft to the touch. It was not irritating at all. When it is spread on the kang in summer, it will become a couch. It will definitely be very comfortable to lie on it. .

"Thank you Aunt Zhang. This reed mat feels really slippery and soft. It will take a long time to weave it, right?"

Reeds generally grow in wetlands and swamps. In this drought year, reeds are hard to find. The Zhang family's sister-in-law must have spent a lot of effort on these two mats.

"It didn't take long. My Liu'er helped make these up." Sister-in-law of the Zhang family said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked at Zhang Liuer, who was sitting next to the Zhang family's sister-in-law.

She is a rare round-faced girl.

Most people in the village favor boys over girls, and the daughter's family often doesn't have enough to eat. Over the years, she will become sallow, thin, and malnourished.

It can be seen that the Zhang family loves their daughter. Zhang Liuer eats quite well. She is not as thin and lonely as ordinary girls, but she is probably used to farm work, so she looks a bit broad and round.

"Liu'er is also fifteen this year, right?" Qiu Lianniang said with a smile, "Is there anyone you want to marry?"

"I'll be sixteen when I turn the new year." The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family looked at her daughter dotingly and said with a smile: "I am just a daughter, and I don't want to marry off early. However, when I get older, some people in the village will gossip. Fortunately, not long ago, the Cheng family from the village came to propose marriage..."

"Cheng family?" Several people were stunned for a moment.

"Cheng Yougui came to our village to escape famine a few years ago. There are only two of them in the family, mother and son." Sister-in-law of the Zhang family said with a smile, "The Cheng family has also saved some money over the years and bought several acres of land in the village. This year, Cheng Yougui also got married. I'm old enough, so I specially asked a matchmaker to come to my house a few days ago to ask."

"So, Sister-in-law Zhang, are you very satisfied with the Cheng family?" Seeing the Zhang family's eldest sister-in-law beaming with joy when talking about this matter, Qiu Lianniang felt certain.

There are only two members of the Cheng family, which means that the population is simple and there are no relatives. The daughter can be the master of the family when she gets married, and she does not have to worry about serving her parents-in-law, nor does she need to be bullied by her sisters-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family has always loved her daughter, so she must be quite satisfied with this marriage.

"Marrying is something you can't take carelessly. It's best to go to the Cheng family and have a good look at it to see if the son of the Cheng family is easy to get along with." Sister-in-law Zhao is a woman who has experienced a failed marriage. She is very interested in the man's character. Care very much.

"Don't worry, I've seen it." The Zhang family's sister-in-law said with a smile, "The Cheng family's son has just turned sixteen this year. I think he is an honest man. Although he doesn't talk much, he takes care of the several acres of land at home by himself. It has to be organized.”

"That's good, then Liu'er won't be wronged when she marries." Sister-in-law Zhao smiled. She sincerely hoped that Zhang Liu'er would marry into a good family and not end up miserable like her.

"Is this date determined?" Jiang Wei also interjected and asked.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family nodded: "I found someone to check the date and decided it will be on the twelfth day of the first lunar month next year. This day is perfect for getting married."

The twelfth day of the first lunar month coincides with the beginning of spring after the new year.

Jiang Wei smiled and congratulated: "This is a good day. New Year and new atmosphere. When your family holds a happy event, I will also go and ask for a wedding cake."

When people in the village hold weddings, they will distribute wedding cakes to those who come to congratulate them, in order to be happy.

Listening to the people at the table talking about their marriage, Zhang Liuer was already blushing with embarrassment.

She looked at Qiulian Niang and said shyly: "Aunt Qiulian, after the autumn planting is over, can I ask you for advice on embroidery? I, I want to embroider a wedding dress for myself..."

Qiu Lianniang's embroidery skills are well-known in the village, and many girls who are about to get married come to her for advice.

"Okay." Qiu Lianniang agreed happily, "The autumn planting is over and I have nothing to do. Just come to my house with your needle and thread."

"Thank you Qiulian Niang!" Zhang Liuer smiled happily, with two shallow pear dimples showing on her round face.

"Look at this girl, she's so happy." The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family looked at her daughter, feeling quite proud of a girl who had just grown up. Then she looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao beside her and said, "By the way, Xiaoxiao will be six years old after the Chinese New Year." Bar?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was pretending to be a child and silently eavesdropping on the adults' conversation, was unexpectedly mentioned by name. She immediately smiled and nodded: "Well, yes, Auntie, she will be six years old in the next spring."

It's been almost half a year since she came to this world. I didn't expect time to fly by so quickly...

The Zhang family's sister-in-law glanced around the Jiang family's large yard and said inadvertently: "Six years old, it's time to get married..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "???"

No, this kind of thing can still be brought to her head? (End of chapter)
