Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 374
Stretching out her hand to stroke the eldest son's hair, she asked softly, "Da Yu, mother just remembered today that you have reached the age of engagement, and now there is no one in the middle of the night, tell mother, what kind of girl do you like? Gentle ? Beautiful? Lively?"

Dayu shook his head vigorously, and with the help of alcohol, he rarely hugged his mother's arm and acted like a baby, "No, I will always be by my mother's side. Wherever mother goes, Dayu will follow. Whoever bullies mother will be punished by Dayu." If you beat him, you still need to earn money for the marriage of your younger brothers and sisters, and..."

"Okay, okay." Mu Ai patted this good son who was devoted to his younger siblings, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, mother's Dayu wants to be a man who is proud of the world, travels all over the world, sees it all There are mountains and rivers in the world, good karma is formed, friends are all over the world, how can a man with a heart as vast as the sea rely on a woman like my mother."

Dayu shook his head like a rattle, "No, mother is stronger than those women, mother is the most powerful."

"Okay, okay, mother is the most powerful, so Dayu doesn't need to stay with mother, you have your own world. And you must marry a wife and have children. This is the most human relationship. In the future, you must have your blood to take over The family business you create requires your wife to listen to your joys and sorrows, someone to eat with you, and someone to leave a lamp for you when you come home late, you know?"

Dayu tilted his head, seemed to think about it seriously, and nodded after a while, "My mother asked Dayu to marry, and Dayu would marry, but Dayu must marry a filial woman, and she will make beautiful dresses for mother. Baking snacks for mom, and brushing mom's hair."

"Okay, okay, mom's eldest son is the most filial, and in the future, mom will count on you to take care of her, okay?"

"Okay, Dayu adopts his mother."

Mu Ai kissed his son's forehead, and asked quietly, "Son, what do you think of the Sun family lady who came during the day? She is gentle and beautiful, and seems to have a good temperament, do you like it?"

"Miss Sun's family? Well, Mom, she is very beautiful and always smiles. Xing'er likes her very much."

"Let her be your daughter-in-law, okay?"

The words fell for a long while, and the son didn't respond to his mother. It turned out that he fell asleep leaning on his mother.

Mu Ai hilariously put away the wine glass, tried her best to pick up her son who was almost as tall as her, and climbed down the roof.

Kong Xi also jumped down from the nearby tree, and said in a low voice, "Madam, come down and hug me?"

Mu Ai looked at her son who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and shook her head, "No, it's rare for me to hug him once, so you can continue to be on duty." Then, she went into the room and went up to the second floor, helped her son take off his coat and put him to sleep. Hearing the noise, he squinted his eyes and sat up, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, just sleep well. Auntie will make you lean meat porridge tomorrow morning." Mu Ai tucked up the corner of the thin quilt for him, patted him twice, and coaxed him into a sound sleep.Only then did he lightly leave the door and go to the room to sleep.

On July 24th, the Wei family and the Xiao family made an appointment to have a small gathering in Banyue Mountain. They left the city as soon as the city gate opened, but arrived at the foot of the mountain in half an hour. The sun just rose to the top of the mountain. He took the bamboo chair and went down the mountain, and picked up Mrs. Wei up the mountain.

Two large pieces of thick felt, blankets, and soft feather cushions were laid out in the peach grove, and snacks and fruits were placed in the middle. The women occupied one piece, and Wei Guang and Xiao Heng took Dayu Tao'er together.While eating and drinking, while chatting.

Occasionally, smelling the fresh and sweet aroma of peaches in the air, I reach out to pick one up. It is really a fairy life.

Mrs. Wei inserted a piece of pear with a fork and chewed slowly, feeling the cool and sweet juice moistening her tongue, which had already lost her sense of taste, she narrowed her eyes with joy, and said with a smile, "My tongue, it's really tasted for a while. There is a lot of good food, and when your family goes south again, I am afraid that you will no longer know the taste of food."

Mu Ai continued to peel a navel orange with a smile, and said with a smile, "The old lady sent a maid to study with me for a few days, and wherever we go in the future, the old lady will have good food to eat."

Mrs. Wei waved her hand, "In this world, only your family has this skill, and no one else can learn it."

"Haha, the old lady wants me to open another restaurant to steal the business from big brother?" Mu Ai joked.

Liniang hugged her youngest son to make fun of it, pretending to be wronged and said, "Madam, you can't do this, brother Li doesn't have any money to marry a wife in the future, I will ask the old lady for it."

Mrs. Wei laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I will give Brother Kang a betrothal gift."

Everyone laughed, Mu Ai set up the fruit plate, but Xifu wiped his hands with the wet handkerchief that Xifu handed over, then hugged Brother Li, grabbed his little hand and made him shake and fly, the fat boy couldn't stop giggling happily.

Mrs. Wei thought of Mrs. Sun who came to visit yesterday and the rumors she had heard in the past few days, so she said with a smile, "Sister, you should nail the threshold of your family higher recently."

"Screw the threshold, why?" Mu Ai bit Brother Li's fat little hand, the child still had a milky fragrance, very comfortable.

Mrs. Wei laughed, "Because a matchmaker is about to step over your threshold."

"Matchmaker? Threshold?" Mu Ai raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Could it be that everyone in the city knows the third rule of my house?"

"The third family rule of yours is very powerful. If my sister-in-law has a daughter who is overwhelmed, she will marry you. It's a pity..." Mrs. Wei put her shoulders in regret, "We can only wait until the next life when we get married again."

"Well, let's make an agreement to be in-laws in the next life. Those people are all from Ben Dayu, and this child is fifteen years old. Recently, I have also wondered whether it is time to make an engagement for him?"

Mrs. Wei Er answered, "Not all of them are here for Dayu."

"It's not Dayu! Could it be Xing'er? No way, I want to save her until she is 20 years old and remarry, and it's best if the man is an orphan and there are no mothers-in-law or elders to make things difficult for him."

One sentence made several people including Mrs. Wei laugh. Xing'er was sitting on the side peeling lychees, and she echoed her mother in a somewhat ignorant way, "Why is Auntie laughing? Mom is right, Xing'er doesn't want to set rules?"

Mrs. Wei patted her little hand, and asked with a smile, "Such an older girl, does she know what rules are?"

"Xinger knows," the little girl raised her little head unconvinced, and said everything she heard from her mother on weekdays, like pouring beans in a bamboo tube, "that is, I want to stand when my mother-in-law sits, and I want to watch when my mother-in-law eats." When my mother-in-law sleeps, I want to fan her. If my mother-in-law hits me, I can’t escape. If my mother-in-law scolds me, I can’t fight back. I get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, are more tired than a maid, and bitterer than a maid. "

The little girl hadn't finished speaking, and the girls were already laughing up and down. Mrs. Wei called the big maid next to her to rub her belly, and said with a smile, "Where did you hear about this little girl, I was like that back then. treated you?"

The last sentence was for Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei, they shook their heads quickly, Mrs. Wei said, "There are so many maids in the house, how could mother use our clumsy hands?"

Xing'er shook the ribbon on her head, climbed into her mother's arms, and while holding her two white and tender hands coquettishly asked her to wipe them, she asked, "Mom, is what Xing'er said wrong?"

"Yes, yes, so, you have to stay with your mother all the time, even if you marry someone, you have to marry someone without parents." Mu Ai said half-seriously and half-jokingly, in her heart, instead of marrying her daughter to someone else to be wronged It's better to keep it by your side.

Liniang blamed her sister, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You've taught good children badly, let's see how you can find a husband's family in the future."

"Then don't look for it. It's not that our family is short of money and can't afford to support her. If it's really not possible, we'll recruit one."

Liniang had no choice but to hug Brother Li, pointing at his little nose, "Brother Kang, let's stay away from aunt, don't be led away by aunt."

Mrs. Wei laughed, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "You, the children are all in your heart, but you have forgotten yourself. Now I don't know how many people in the city want to marry you into their homes."

"Marry me?" Mu Ai was stunned, then shook her head, "I'm a young lady, and I'm still a widow, who would marry me and be a wife, and I'm still not allowed to take concubines."

Mrs. Wei wanted to say something more, but she was thrown over by Mrs. Wei with a wink, and she changed her words directly, "Yesterday, the wife of the Sun family, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, came to sit with me for a while, and she mentioned Dayu inside and outside the words. Presumably, she should have promised her daughter to you on purpose."

"Oh? Did their mother and daughter come here a few days ago?"

"Come here? What's the matter with her?" Liniang asked curiously.

"It turned out that I helped them with some small favors, and they came to give a thank you gift. However, I looked at that Miss Sun, she is gentle and quiet, I don't know how her reputation is?" Mu Ai skipped the reason with a few words , by the way some details.

Mrs. Wei Er interjected, "I've heard people talk about the matter of the Sun's residence. It is said that Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. As a result, less than a year after they got engaged at the age of 15, the Sun's parents died. After passing away one after another, the family wealth was divided by the clan, and Sun Shilang was alone, with no food or clothing. Mrs. Sun's parents insisted on withdrawing their marriage, but Mrs. Sun resisted desperately, and finally married Sun Shilang with only two boxes of dowry After they got married, the two loved each other very much. Mrs. Sun weaves and does embroidery work to make money.

Mrs. Sun gave birth to Ms. Sun in her first child, and when she was pregnant with her second child, someone gave Sun Shilang a concubine. As a result, the concubine was restless and secretly resorted to tricks. Can no longer reproduce.Sun Shilang killed that concubine with his own cane, and never took him in again. He treated Mrs. Sun with great respect and love, and loved Miss Sun even more.

The couple wanted to find a good husband's family for their daughter, otherwise, they would not have been engaged until they were 14 years old.However, although Miss Sun is loved by her parents, she has not developed an arrogant and extravagant temperament. She is good-looking and gentle. People gossip, but it damages her reputation. "

　The fire in the branch office yesterday killed a boy who had just graduated from college. I was very sad. Life is so fragile. We should protect ourselves. Friends, cherish life and live seriously. May everyone have a safe and smooth life! !
