Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 734
"Grandma Zhang, the conditions are not important, the key is how you are."

Liu Xiaohua felt that it was okay for the other party to be a little burden. The family now has some money, and the second brother is a carpenter, and he still has wages every month. Her parents are not around, so she is still very envious of the other party. How nice it is to have both parents.The main reason is that this Dong Daya has a good temper, so don't be picky with the screwdriver, or it's for money, if the family has no money, they won't be able to keep people.

"Don't worry about that. That girl is the neighbor of the old woman's cousin. She's a nice person, and she's also pretty. If she's not engaged now, she's just being dragged down by her family."

Mrs. Zhang sighed, Liu Erniu's condition, if it was in Taiping years, it would be quite good. There is a sixth-rank official brother in the family. Unfortunately, now that the two countries are at war, those generals can't count on it, and they all go to the battlefield with their heads up , who knows how many days I can live, maybe in a few days, this person will not be there, so I can't take advantage of it.

The Liu family is not a local resident. I asked a few daughters, and they all shook their heads when they heard about the conditions. Mrs. Zhang is a warm-hearted person, and she thinks Liu Xiaohua is good. She has sought her out several times because of her second brother's marriage. Things were difficult, but there was a turning point in the end. She glanced at the Dong family's aunt through the fence. She was a hardworking person who was never idle from morning to afternoon, and had a gentle temper.

"Grandma Zhang, are you willing?"

Liu Xiaohua rubbed the handkerchief with her hands, her face was embarrassed, almost everyone in Pingyang City knew about her madness, and the second brother was only implicated by her, she was afraid that the other party would not be happy after hearing about it.

"The old lady went to Dong's house yesterday."

Mrs. Zhang sighed a few words, and then she talked about yesterday's situation. Don't look at Dong's family as being poor, but a man of character will never sell his daughter. He just wants to marry his daughter and find a proper family. I just want my daughter to have enough food and clothing, and there are only a few rooms in the house. Seeing that my younger brother is about to grow up, I can't live with my parents. When Dong Daya gets married, I can spare a room at home. room.

Qingli listened silently to the conversation between the two, and thought to herself, Sister Xiaohua has a fever and hasn't asked Brother Erniu for his opinion yet. If Brother Erniu has a girl he likes, she is willing to help because of difficult conditions and cannot approach her. The Liu family will flourish immediately after following her, so there is no need to feel wronged.

"Grandma Zhang, my second brother won't be back until noon. Would you like to go and see him? Then go to your cousin's. When the time comes, the two of you will have a look through the fence and ask the girl what she means."

Liu Xiaohua is from a girl's family, and she is a little shy about her second brother's marriage, but her parents passed away, and her eldest brother is in the military camp, so she is the only one busy, otherwise this matter will be lost if it is delayed.

"This……"

Mrs. Zhang frowned and was hesitating, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Liu Xiaohua also knew that she was disturbing others, so she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we will definitely prepare a courtesy when we come to the door, and I don't want to trouble your cousin."

"That's it. It's best to go there before the application time."

It’s time for dinner after Shenshi, and they will come to disturb people’s meals. Generally, enthusiastic people will keep food, but there is nothing delicious in the market. It’s a bit impolite to come to the door without saying hello and eat other people’s rations. Liu Xiaohua understood this truth, so she agreed, and after Mrs. Zhang left, she stood up excitedly and kept rubbing her hands in circles in the side hall.

"Xiaoli, I have to go out. You can buy something with me, and go to see people. You should prepare gifts anyway. You can't let your daughter suffer."

Liu Xiaohua still had the same temperament as before, she couldn't sit still immediately, and muttered, "But I don't know what to give for the first time, is it snacks and dried fruits?"

Qingli held her chin, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Sister Xiaohua, it's the first time we meet, just give me something decent. You don't need to prepare those. There are several big boxes on the carriage, and they were all given away in the morning. of."

When Ji Zhifu came, he asked the maid to hold a bunch of exquisite boxes, including Laozi's pastries, preserved fruits, dried fruits, etc., as well as tea. Qingli had no interest in these, and there was no shortage in the space, thinking of giving them to Liu Xiaohua Eat, and it turned out that something like this happened, and it happened to come in handy.

"Why do you always send things?"

Liu Xiaohua stomped her feet and said with a blushing face, "You always bring things, so you won't be allowed in from now on!"

"Sister Xiaohua, have you forgotten? You didn't bring me anything before, and I still wouldn't let you in!"

When the two neighbors were in the past, Liu Xiaohua seldom came to the door empty-handed. Sometimes she brought snacks and cakes, sometimes noodles, eggs, and at worst, she had to grab a handful of fried peanuts for Qingli to make snacks. Like her door.

Liu Erniu's marriage has a bright future, and Liu Xiaohua smiles brightly, happier than her own marriage. She takes Qingli's hand and talks about how hard it is for her second brother to take care of her for so many years. I hope the woman is a good one. Sister-in-law and so on.

It was almost noon when Liu Erniu returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he washed his face with a basin of well water and patted off the sawdust on his body. When he saw Qingli there, he smiled and said hello, "Girl Li, what do you want?" I found them for you, and they all went back to change their clothes, saying that they should not be so rude when they see the wife of the major general in the future."

He made an appointment to come home after work at noon, who would have thought that those carefree boys would all become shy, saying that they wanted to go home and wash up before they came to the house, but he had no choice but to agree.

"Second brother, are you hungry? I'm going to roll the noodles. They're here. Let's eat a bowl each."

Liu Xiaohua stood up and ran to the kitchen, Qingli asked Maidong to help, and she told Liu Erniu some things about the military camp. In the future, these people will quit their jobs and form an engineering team. Not only carpenters, but also masons are needed. Prepare the things needed on the battlefield, and when winter is coming, help some soldiers’ families to renovate their houses and replace the roof with new tiles. winter.

"Girl Li, you are really kind-hearted, and we are happy to be able to contribute to the soldiers!"

Liu Erniu and Qingli are very familiar, and they don't shy away from talking, they still use their original address, and they are as affectionate as a family.

At noon, more than a dozen people came to the quiet Liu family courtyard at once, standing in the front yard clattering, and a few roosters wandering around made dissatisfied cuckoo sounds. There is nowhere to go for a walk.

Qingli saw that the people who came were old and young, the older ones were about forty years old, and the young ones were about the same as Erniu brother. Everyone was dressed in new clothes, some still had patches, but they were washed thoroughly. Clean and tidy, everyone lowered their heads and fiddled with the corners of their clothes, looking very nervous.

"Let's eat the noodles first, and then talk about it after eating."

The thick porcelain bowls in Liu Xiaohua's house were not enough, so Qingli asked Mai Dong to buy some, which was enough to serve noodles for a dozen people, with beans and pork belly slices inside, it looked very appetizing, and everyone didn't care about being reserved, Suck the noodles loudly and eat them deliciously.
