fisherwoman

In the past few days, Lin Xueman's family has been very busy with people coming and going, and women have come to deliver dried small yellow croakers one after another.

Sometimes it is three or four catties, sometimes it is five or six catties. There are still children who are idle and have nothing to do.

Lin Xueman couldn't laugh or cry, she weighed them all day, but she couldn't do anything, so she had to tell them, don't come here to give it if it's less than fifty catties, otherwise, I won't accept it!

Those women are also very knowledgeable, so they don't come here again and again. They just want to see if she really pays them cash. Although there is only one penny per catty, they still don't want to get cash. Willing to tan...

After finally freeing up some space, Lin Xueman decided to build another kitchen in the corner of the yard, just like the one in Ma Xingzhi's house next door. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. When cooking at home, when the fire is lit, the room feels stuffy for a while. Stir-fried vegetables, the smell of the food in the room is stronger, and it makes people feel uncomfortable in the dormitory too!

Hearing that Lin Xueman wanted to build a kitchen in the yard, Mrs. Qingyu volunteered to say that her family, Liu Qingyu, had built a house for others before, and she could build a pot and stove without smoking.

Early in the morning, the couple rushed to set up a kitchen for her, but Liu Qingyu didn't go to sea.

Lin Xueman was embarrassed to delay others from earning money because of her own affairs.

"Hey! What's the matter? He didn't go there yesterday. He was busy with the work in the field! The price of the fish caught is so low, who wants to go?" The herring lady muttered, "Recently, people in the village are like this. Fishing. After three days in the sun, I don’t believe it will continue like this. Father Zhao told us to wait, so let’s just wait!”

"That's right, hey, it's better to keep them in the sea and catch them when the price goes up. Anyway, there are so many fish in the sea. I won't go today. I can catch more tomorrow!" Really good!

With that said, he rolled up his sleeves and started working.

The materials for the kitchen were also bought by Liu Qingyu with his help, and some wood was left over from the original building of his family.I wanted to start a fire, but when I saw that it was still usable, I brought it to her.

The main cost is actually those bricks, but these bricks are not expensive.After all, it cost a total of two hundred Wen.It's a good deal.

As for the labor cost, Liu Qingyu and his wife definitely can't ask for it. It probably makes sense to keep them here for a meal and give them a few cans of canned fish, right?Lin Xueman was thinking secretly.

"It can't be helped, her man is not at home, we have to help!" Mrs. Qingyu said to Liu Qingyu at home.

"Well, do what you say!" Liu Qingyu hurriedly agreed.

Lin Xueman saw the two roll up their sleeves and pour water and mud.She was so busy that she felt moved. Sometimes the neighbors were closer than her own family. She would rather ask Liu Qingyu for help than Xiao Chengshan and the others...

Ms. Xu is a frequent visitor to the house. She came in and saw the three of them were busy building the kitchen, so she also rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to help.

The four of them were busy, chatting and laughing, but it was also lively.

Talking and laughing, spread to the old house.

"Your third sister-in-law really invited someone to build a stove at home?" Yang grabbed a handful of sorghum, sprinkled it on the ground, drew the chickens out of the chicken coop, and threw a few cabbage leaves towards the small wooden door. I looked around.

Two hens ran ahead, followed by several fluffy chicks, chirping forward.

"I'll go over in a while and see what I can do to help!" Xiao Yun poured the stirred chicken food into the chicken trough, looked at the chickens on the ground, "Mom, why did you catch so many chickens this year? "

"I caught it for your third sister-in-law. The chicken is too small. I'm afraid she won't be able to feed it. After a few days, when it grows wings, I will send it to her. She has dried a lot of fish heads and belly. It's just right to feed it. Chicken!" Yang finished feeding the chicken and entered the house.

On the kang of the old house, Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Chenghai sat there chatting with Xiao Jingzhi, saying that there was not much water in the river, and it was time to irrigate the ground. Who knows when it will rain, and recently people in the village have been drinking water at night. Watering the ground, grabbing that little water like crazy!

"Well, you don't want to go to sea for the next two days. Anyway, the price of fish this month is like this. Let's take care of the crops first. I'll come back early to work with you!" Xiao Jingzhi put on his shoes and got off the kang.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the alley, the door of the old house slammed, and then a woman's voice yelled: "Oh, my sister-in-law, your family is very happy!"

"Who is it!" Mrs. Yang hurriedly went out to greet the person, with a puzzled look on her face, it was the famous matchmaker Li in the town!

There were several young people behind her, and one of them was holding a red lacquer plate with a few thin sticks wrapped in red cloth. Needless to say, copper coins were wrapped there.

According to local customs, marriage proposal is just to tell the man what he means. Generally, there is no need to bring a gift, because if the woman refuses, she will not owe each other since then. If she brings a gift, it means that the man has met the woman’s girl, and I like this girl very much. At this time, usually the parents of the woman will call their daughter in private to ask if they have met her and whether they agree to this marriage.

If the woman is willing, this gift will be kept!

If the woman is unwilling, the gift will naturally have to be taken away!

Looking at this mighty scene, Yang couldn't help frowning slightly, could it be the matchmaker invited by Wang Dahai's family?This is this gift, isn't it too expensive?

"Hey, my sister-in-law, who doesn't know that your girl is as beautiful as a flower and jade in a radius of ten miles, and is gentle and lovely. Oh, these two are a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!" Matchmaker Li thought to herself. He entered the house without hesitation, entertained himself on the kang, patted his thigh, and said with spit.

When the men in the room saw the woman in front of her talking vigorously, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and looked at each other. Could it be that Wang Dahai's family went to the town to hire a matchmaker?

Xiao Yun also looked out from his own room, and when he heard the voice, his face turned red, he was at a loss for what to do, hey, this idiot really came to propose marriage!

Matchmaker Li talked for a long time on her own, praising Xiao's daughter to heaven, but seeing that no one said anything, she saw Xiao Jingzhi was still at home, looking at her calmly, and smiled embarrassingly: "Master Xiao is at home." Your family is overjoyed!"

"You've been talking for a long time, but we don't know which company you work for?" Xiao Jingzhi raised his brows slightly, and suddenly had a faint premonition in his heart. This is not the style of Wang Dahai's parents. They would not invite Matchmaker Li to come Proposing marriage, because it still costs money.

Mrs. Yang was preparing to serve tea in the stove. Hearing Xiao Jingzhi's words, she couldn't help but stop what she was doing, and she also became suspicious in her heart. That's right, if the Wang family proposed marriage, why did they find some new faces?

She didn't know any of those people in the yard!

"Look at me, I'm so confused, I'm just happy for you, and I thought you all knew! I, of course, was entrusted by Mr. Zhao Ziliang to propose marriage to your youngest daughter!" Matchmaker Li smiled like a flower, With a proud look on her face, she likes to be a matchmaker with a well-to-do man's family, so she has a lot of face in the woman's family!

She cleared her cough and waited for the family's reaction!This family is so happy and silly!

Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Chenghai couldn't help but their faces darkened. Isn't this an obvious way to humiliate their family?

"Please go back and tell Zhao Ziliang that if he dies, my daughter will not marry him even if she never gets married." Xiao Jingzhi held back his anger and said in a deep voice.

"Oh, I said in-laws, you..." Matchmaker Li was stunned, she didn't expect such a result, this family is too ignorant of flattery, even though it is a concubine, it is a marriage that so many people dream of!

This Zhao Ziliang, Mr. Zhao, is not only the brother-in-law of Lu Zhi County, but more importantly, he is not only handsome, but also wealthy. Where can I find such a person?

"Get out!" Xiao Jingzhi suddenly growled.

"But Mr. Zhao said..." Matchmaker Li was shocked when she saw Xiao Jingzhi lose her temper.

"Let's go, my father told you to go out, are you deaf?" Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Chenghai stepped forward at the same time, each holding her by one arm, and pushing her, "Go away, go back and tell that Zhao, Stop playing this trick!"

"You, you are simply unreasonable. He came here to propose marriage in a serious manner. How could you do this?" Matchmaker Li shouted as she struggled.

The expressions of several young people standing in the yard suddenly changed. One of them stepped forward, pulled Matchmaker Li, and said loudly, "What are you doing? Do you treat guests like this?"

This man is the son of Matchmaker Li. This time he came to the Xiao family to propose marriage with his mother because he heard that Mr. Zhao paid a lot of money, so he took the opportunity to make a small fortune!

"Give all of you out too, our family shouldn't!" Because of the fish sale, Xiao Chenghai was already full of anger, but now, this shameless Zhao Ziliang dared to come to propose marriage, and couldn't help being furious.

"Hmph! It seems that your daughter is the good luck of your family, so it shouldn't be. I don't think anyone else would dare to come to propose marriage except our Mr. Zhao." A person in the crowd replied with a sneer. Judging by his expression and behavior, he was the leader.

Mr. Zhao had expected the Xiao family's reaction a long time ago, and he really didn't know how to flatter him!

"That's our family's business, don't care about your business!" Xiao Chengshan also stepped forward and said, "Hurry up, don't wait for us to invite you out, right?"

"What's the matter? Let's do it! I, Zhao Si, am afraid that you will fail?" The leader did not show any weakness, and said loudly, "We still don't leave, what can you do?"

"Hmph! It's true that like a master, there must be a servant. Don't tell me you're still stuck in our house? If you're sensible, get out!" Xiao Chenghai raised his voice.

"Hey, you're so arrogant!" Zhao Si rolled up his sleeves, with a look of disdain on his face, "I just won't leave, what do you think? We're here to propose marriage. With your attitude, can your daughter get married?"

"In my house, you are still so tyrannical, boss and second, kick them out!" Xiao Jingzhi roared angrily, isn't this deceiving people too much!

Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Chenghai were already furious, and they were just waiting for his father's order!

The two rolled up their sleeves and walked forward angrily. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
