Chapter 137 Bean Sprouts
However, after Zhang Xiuyu heard Dong Bao's words, she just lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word. After a while, she said: "He is a scholar who can read and write. Maybe he can get some fame in the future. I have money in my family. I am a match." No way."

Dong Bao looked carefully at Zhang Xiuyu's face, and didn't see any expectation on Zhang Xiuyu's face. Except for the shyness of some girls when he said this, he couldn't see the rest at all, so he understood it. It seems Cousin didn't like Zhao Zihui at all.

Pity!Dong Bao felt a little regretful in her heart, she thought that Zhao Zi would be good, he seemed to be the honest and reliable one, Zhang Xiuyu would definitely be able to handle him.

"You don't like him!" Dong Bao laughed, "Then who do you like?"

Zhang Xiuyu glared at Dong Bao with a blushing face, "Say something nonsense, why don't you look down on me? We can't say this, and it won't be ashamed to death if people hear it!"

Dong Bao didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "If you don't tell, how will others know? If you don't tell me who you're attracted to, I'll tell my aunt about Zhao Zihui, and my aunt will definitely be able to see him!" Saying that, he got up and wanted to go outside.

Zhang Xiuyu was in a hurry, grabbed Dong Bao, and shouted in a low voice: "Okay! I said yes. I..." Zhang Xiuyu lowered her head with a blushing face. She recalled when she first came to Tagouji, she felt that it was too big. Brother Shi is very good, everything is good, but she gradually found that Brother Dashi likes Dongbao, so she gave up on this thought. Mother was right, a girl should have face and backbone, and she can't be looked down upon by others.Later, I followed Dong Bao to the town...

Dong Bao waited impatiently, "Hurry up! It's time for my mother and auntie to come in and make zongzi later."

"It's Brother Liang Zi!" Zhang Xiuyu said desperately, blushing enough to bleed.

"Ah?!" Dong Bao opened his mouth wide in surprise. Looking back on Liang Zi, it seemed that as long as Zhang Xiuyu was present, he would be very enthusiastic towards Liang Zi. Unconsciously, Dong Bao assigned Liang Zi to Master Yan's generation. Even Zhang Xiuyu was enthusiastic about Liang Zi, and Dong Bao never thought about that.

"This..." Dong Bao stammered, "Brother Liang Zi is six or seven years older than you!"

Zhang Xiuyu snorted softly, lowered her head and wrapped the zongzi, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not bad to be six or seven years older! Your father is six or seven years older than your mother!"

Dong Bao laughed, "I didn't object, I think you're in a hurry! You have to tell Auntie about this, otherwise Auntie won't think about Brother Liang Zi!"

"What are you talking about! The horoscope has not been written yet!" Zhang Xiuyu sighed, and unconsciously stroked the zong leaves in her hand, "He is so old, maybe the family has already promised him a kiss."

"Definitely not." Dong Bao said, "Brother Liang Zi's family has no relatives anymore. He is now eating enough for the whole family, and he has never heard of his engagement. How about I ask for you, if Yes, let’s not talk about it again.”

"Then, if he gets engaged, or if he doesn't like it, I won't have the face to see him again in the future." Zhang Xiuyu said hesitantly.

Dong Bao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will ask quietly, if you don't tell him who asked me to ask, he can't think that I have a crush on him, right?"

At this moment Li Hongqin entered the room, saw the two little sisters whispering together, and jokingly said, "What are you talking about? It's like I'm afraid people will hear me!"

When Zhang Xiuyu saw her mother, her hair was weak, her face was flushed, her head was lowered and she was wrapping rice dumplings without saying a word, her fingers were trembling, while Dong Bao's skin was much thicker, she laughed twice, but didn't say anything.

Fortunately, Li Hongqin was busy with the work in hand, and she only joked a few words, and didn't really want to ask the end, so she went out after laughing a few times.

When Aunt Qiuxia accompanied Lin Fulai to pick tofu in the afternoon, Dongbao had already warmed up the vegetables he had brought back from the octagonal building in several large bowls. Aunt Qiuxia asked her to take it home for Grandpa Lin and Lin Fu to taste the dishes in the restaurant.

"There aren't many dishes, Dongbao, you can keep them for eating!" Aunt Qiuxia declined with a smile. The more she looks at Dongbao, the more she likes it. settle down. "Besides, walking back with the vegetable bowl all the way, there may be many pairs of eyes staring at it, it's not good-looking."

In fact, Aunt Qiuxia was afraid that Second Aunt Song would see it when she went back. The second room of the Song family was famous for its delicious food. If Second Aunt Song knew that Dongbao's food was good, there might be something ugly about it.

Dong Bao ran to the kitchen and took another bowl, put it on top of the vegetable bowl, and said nonchalantly: "Auntie is ready, now I'm not afraid of being seen by others, if anyone wants to ask, just ignore her! She's not the emperor, I'm not here. There is no reason why we have to let her know what we have in our hands!"

Could it be that they didn't improve their lives because they were afraid that Second Aunt Song would spoil her mouth?Thinking of Second Aunt Song's thick skin, Dong Bao felt angry. She wished that she could live a better life and let Second Aunt's family watch from the sidelines. Seeing that she couldn't eat, she was so greedy to death!
Early the next morning, Dong Bao followed Lin Fu and Dashi to the town after cooking. Lin Fu took Dashi to find Li Changfeng first, and went to Wenfeng Academy with Li Changfeng's help.After Dong Bao sent them back, he helped Mrs. Li sell tofu and bean sprouts. Seeing the bustling town full of girls and daughters-in-law carrying bamboo baskets, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

She remembers going to the market in the same way when she was a child, but it was only later that everyone used plastic bags, so no one carried baskets.

"Bao'er, what happened to Dashi going to the academy?" Shi Li asked in a hurry.

Dong Bao smiled and said, "I didn't follow in, I don't know what happened. But Brother Dashi is smart and hardworking, Master will definitely like him."

Mrs. Li nodded Dong Bao's head with a smile, and went to work, anyway, in the eyes of the daughter, the little son-in-law is good wherever he is.

While he was busy, Mr. Yan and Liang Zi came from the other side of the street, and walked to the bean curd stand. Liang Zi saw Dong Bao and said with a smile, "Yo, girl Dong Bao came early today!"

Dong Bao glanced at him with a smile, and thought, he came early just to block you!

Lord Yan glanced at Mrs. Li, and said briefly: "Two bowls of bean curd, four rice dumplings."

Mrs. Li lowered her head and didn't look at Mr. Yan, said "Hey", quickly took two bowls, rinsed the bowls and chopsticks with clear water from the bucket several times, and then filled the two people with bean curd.

Dong Bao watched from the side, stuck out his tongue quietly, and secretly felt that if it was someone else, Li Shi would not be so dedicated.After all, both of them are officials and lords. Maybe it's nothing to be two petty officials in front of serious officials, but for ordinary people like them, it's already heaven.

Liang Zi was young and ate quickly, and after a while he poured a bowl of tofu curd into his mouth, and was about to call Li Shi, "Auntie, have another bowl!" when Dong Bao pulled him away.

"What is this for?" Liang Zi smiled and let Dong Bao lead him away, and wiped his mouth with his hand.

After reaching a secluded corner, Dong Bao asked Liang Zi seriously: "Brother Liang Zi, someone asked me to ask you something, you have to tell me the truth."

Liang Zi was amused by Dong Bao, who is optimistic and open-minded, so he folded his arms and nodded with a smile: "Okay, you can ask."

"Well... are you engaged?" Dong Bao asked.

Liang Zi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and showed his white teeth. He was a little embarrassed to be asked this by a little girl, so he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, then shook his head and said, "No."

Dong Bao let out an "oh", wondering whether he just got it or strike while the iron was hot and asked Liang Zi what his impression of Zhang Xiuyu was, Liang Zi couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Who... who asked you to ask?"

"You don't care about this." Dong Bao waved his hands, how can the girl's affairs be revealed casually?
Liang Zi laughed out loud, "Little girl, I don't care who cares about this matter?"

"You haven't gotten married yet...then why don't you get married?" Dong Bao continued to ask. Although Liang Zi's parents are gone, he is solitary. With a good temper, he should be quite popular in Yuanshui Town.I'm almost [-] now, and I can be considered a "leftover man" in this age. Could it be something wrong?

Dong Bao stroked his chin and kept looking at Liang Zi, his eyes were so sharp that Liang Zi felt chills.

"You tell me who asked you to ask first, and I'll answer your question later." Liang Zi laughed.

Yo!Dong Bao grinned, and really treated her like a ten-year-old child!Then he said flatly: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. I will tell that person that you are already engaged. Heh heh, let you watch your good wife grow wings and fly away!"

Liang Zi bent over laughing thoroughly, leaned on the wall and cupped his hands and laughed, "Okay! I'm convinced! Earlier, Xiaoxu told me that Sister Dongbao was very talkative, but I thought he was a kid bragging! Now it's a I've seen it! I didn't get engaged because I didn't meet the right one. There were a lot of matches for me. I didn't think I liked it so much, so I put it off until now. Anyway, I can eat enough for myself and the whole family is not hungry, and my life is happy and carefree!"

"Then you don't want to get married anymore?" Dong Bao frowned and asked, if that's the case, you can't tell Zhang Xiuyu to him.

Liang Zi only felt it was very strange. Being kissed by a ten-year-old girl was already amazing, and this ten-year-old child had no child's self-consciousness. His tone and demeanor seemed to be his elder sister who was a few years older. Like him.

"No, no." Liang Zi quickly explained, and felt uncomfortable when he told Dong Bao about this matter, "I want to start a family, it's not a problem to hang around like this all the time, people of the same age as me, the children will be soy sauce! "

Dong Bao coughed slightly, "Well, the person I mentioned may have to wait two years to get married, are you willing to wait?"
