Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 269

Xiuyao knew the matchmaker, whose surname was Su, known as Su Jinhua.

The last time she came to tell her second sister was Gaojia Village's Happy Tiger.

Xiuyao hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and took a look at the young man, who looked a little frail, with delicate skin and tender flesh, quite kind.

Gao Xinghu saw Xiuyao sizing her up, and immediately followed Su Jinhua's request, and smiled gently, "You are sister Xiuyao, right? I'm Gao Xinghu, from Gaojiazhuang."

Xiuyao smiled and took them home. The third sister and sister-in-law were both in the weaving workshop, and the second sister and mother were doing needlework at home.

Seeing the matchmaker coming, Mrs. Liu warmly entertained her and asked Xiurong to invite Zhang Guifang to dinner, and helped Zhang Zhangyan by the way, Gao Xinghu immediately saluted respectfully.

Liu Shi saw that this happy tiger was born with delicate features, not that strong, but not weak, similar to Er Xian.

Thinking of this temperament, it should be able to make Xiuxian, so I agreed with it in my heart.

She let the guests into the guest room in the south room, asked Xiuxian to do needlework, and Xiuyao went to help make tea.

Mrs. Liu talked with Matchmaker Su and Gao Xinghu. During the conversation, she tried a lot, and found that Xing Xinghu had a very easy-going temper. He didn't have the exaggerated and bragging habits of some young people, and he was clean, and he didn't have other bad behaviors.

Under her straightforward review, Gao Xinghu was not particularly unnatural, so Liu was satisfied.

Then I talked about the situation at home, but Gao Xinghu showed a sad expression when he heard about his mother's illness.

Liu Shi was even more satisfied, thinking that he was a filial child.

Gao Xinghu wiped away his tears, and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I made you laugh. It's not easy for my mother to drag us up, but my mother is not seriously ill, so I don't need anyone to take care of me."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly comforted: "Parents are sick, it's their duty for sons and daughters-in-law to take care of them."

It just depends on how your temper is. If you have a good temper, you can get along well. If you have a bad temper, it means that you have no filial son before your bed for a long time.

She looked at this happy tiger and felt that the parents should be good enough to raise such a well-mannered child.

As for being sick, since I have been born for so many years, as long as the family does not have enough time to live because of this, it should not be a big problem.

Anyway, let's find out.

She fell in love with Gao Xinghu, so she wondered if she should find time or drag someone to find out.

The family didn't have this condition before, but now they have donkeys and money. It's not impossible for me and her father to take dry food and spend a few days to see it.

Su Jinhua knew from her words and expressions that she agreed, so she quickly winked at Gao Xinghu.

Gao Xinghu is naturally also happy, and he is even more respectful and close to Liu Shi.

Mrs. Liu asked them to eat, but Su Jinhua refused, saying that she would come back to discuss the dowry. She smiled and said, "As long as you agree, big sister, everything else is just a matter of one sentence. Our family, you can order They are not stingy, not those in-laws who quarreled over a bride price and dowry became enemies."

Gao Xinghu kept the gifts he brought, and Liu Shi gave up, keeping a little symbolically, and then sent them out.

When he walked to the door, he saw Xiuyao walking past with a tall girl, and knew that it was Xiuxian, his eyes lit up, he couldn't help but take another look, and then laughed.

Su Jinhua hastily tugged on his sleeve, he came back to his senses and bid farewell to Mrs. Liu.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Liu called Xiuxian and Xiuyao over and asked them, "How is this brother Gao?"

Xiuxian already knew that it was for her to go on a blind date, so she nodded a little unnaturally, "It's okay."

When Liu asked again where she was going, she couldn't tell.

She scratched her head, and said with a chuckle: "Mother, how would I know, people say that parents order and matchmaker's words, so you still ask me."

As he said that, he turned his head and ran to the next yard to fetch water.

Xiuyao smiled at Mrs. Liu: "Mother, I looked at that man and said he was a happy tiger. He is not a tiger at all, and he is not that energetic."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Why do you have to be so energetic? He is so gentle and considerate, similar to your elder brother-in-law. I think he is more caring than your elder brother-in-law. When I entered the south room, the threshold was a bit high, so he even helped me up." Take a moment. I think it's not an act of pretending, it's a habit, a filial child."

This point, these children in their own family may not be able to do it.

Mrs. Liu thought it was good, but when Zhang Guifang came, he had already left, and Zhang Guifang couldn't say anything when she heard that Mrs. Liu liked it.

Seeing that her mother likes it, but her second sister doesn't object, Xiuyao doesn't care.

When she asked for water to wash her clothes, she found her second sister staring at a bucket of water in a daze in the yard next door.

Xiuxian seldom has such a time, she is usually refreshing and pungent, she might as well sleep in a daze.

Xiuyao called her, "Second Sister, what are you doing?"

Xiu Xian hurriedly came back to her senses, said ah, her cheeks turned red for the first time, "It's nothing."

She picked up water and hurried away.

It would be a lie to say that it was nothing, but at night she began to toss and turn and couldn't sleep, which was the first time she suffered from insomnia.

She thought about what Xu Zhenyi told her, that if she liked it, he would come to propose marriage.

Hmph, he didn't come to propose marriage either!

This happy tiger, um, the important matters of marriage are originally decided by parents.

Mother likes happy tigers, so let's be happy tigers, mother will not fail to think about the children, Xiuxian naturally knew clearly about the big sister and big brother back then.

When the family was poor, my mother would not wrong my eldest sister for the sake of my elder brother, but now that the family is well, my mother will not fail to think about herself.

She originally thought about it simply, and she didn't really want to marry, she thought it was best in her own family.

Since she has to get married, it's fine if the mother agrees, she doesn't feel anything anyway.

Thinking about getting married and not being able to stay at home, she suddenly felt sad. Before seeing Happy Tiger, although she knew about the blind date, her mother didn't nod.She didn't feel anything.

Now after watching Happy Tiger, Mother agreed, and Xiu Xian suddenly felt that she was about to be separated, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness that she could not control, that feeling of panic, which made her feel very strange.This is not like a shoulder pole and a hoe, which can be controlled by oneself.

I don't know that happy tiger.

If it was Xu Zhenyi, at least he still knew him, and it was also close to home. If he wanted to come back, Xu Zhenyi would not care about it, and he would be there.

It was the first time she suffered from insomnia, and she didn't sleep well even with Xiuyao. In the past, she had to guard against her second sister's sleeping and punching. Last night, she was just listening to her second sister chanting sutras, and Xiuyao was too embarrassed to ask her.

As a result, both of them had dark circles under their eyes early in the morning.

Xiuxian glanced at Xiuyao, smiled, and teased her, "What have you been up to all night? You are sleepwalking. You have dark circles under your eyes. It seems that you are not asleep."

Xiuyao really wanted to pounce on her and scratch her a couple of times. She was obviously the one who was thinking about something and was still muttering about it, but in the end she hit her back.

She smiled and said, "Second Sister, do you want to know whether it is Brother Xu or Brother Gao?"

Xiu Xian immediately said loudly: "Didn't Dad tell you to sum up and figure out if all those people are staying? Go and tell him."

The family didn't raise so many pigs in the second half of the year, so they raised the piglets of a few sows in their own family, a total of forty or so pigs, so people might not need so many pigs. Qin Dafu wondered if he should temporarily dismiss two of them.

Xiuyao went to tell him, "Father, it's not necessary. The farm doesn't need it, but the farm still needs it. Our biogas digesters, vegetable gardens, orchards, chickens, ducks and geese all need help. And in the second half of next year, maybe We need to raise more pigs."

Now Liu Yan's business is very good. There are his shops in Jinan, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xintaizhou, Tai'an, etc. Not only that, but it is said that he goes south and north along the canal.

Those pork and poultry products, in addition to fresh meat, are also made into bacon, bacon, etc., and the sales are good.

He is now a regular supplier of dozens of big households, big restaurants, inns, etc., and there are enough places to buy, so he asked her to help organize the supply of goods.

Hearing what she said, Qin Dafu agreed. He basically doesn't need to do physical work now, and is mainly responsible for dispatching those people.

But he can't be idle, especially now that it's not the busy farming season and there is less work, he can't help at all, and he feels uncomfortable drinking tea and chatting all day long.

Originally, I was thinking about weaving straw sandals and baskets, and I thought about the fact that the cotton locust slivers on the several acres of land at home are wasted except for making green manure and fodder.

Later, I made up a few, and found that they were not as good-looking and easy to use as the ones sent by bamboo strip craftsmen in other counties, so I had to give them all away.

Seeing Qin Dafu's expression, Xiuyao immediately understood that her family's finances have improved, but their spiritual enjoyment has not kept up.

Dad has suffered all his life. When he used to not have enough food and clothing, he thought about working every day, how to earn a full meal.

Food and clothing are not a problem now, and I can still eat big fish and meat every day. I used to be exhausted, but now I basically don't need him to intervene in any heavy work.

So, he was idle, and began to feel hesitant, with a feeling of emptiness in his heart, not knowing what to do.

Or to put it another way, I used to be busy with other things, but now I don’t do anything, and I feel a little uneasy.

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Father, my mother is busy with the marriages of my sisters, so you can take care of our family's farm."

Qin Dafu smiled, "Yaoyao, isn't there you and your elder brother? I don't know anything."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Father, why don't you understand? You are not going to be lazy, are you? When you wake up in the morning, go for a stroll, check each place to see if there is any problem with everyone. When eating, care about everyone, Check to see if the food is good, take a break at noon, and patrol around in the evening to see if there is anything wrong."

She pointed to Xiao Hei, who was as cold as an ice sculpture, and Xiao Bai, who was mischievous and heartless, "Father, these two are your assistants. Besides, you let Didan follow you, and send you a message." of."

Didan's family is poor, so Xiuyao asked him to help him on her farm so that he could earn more money and get it back.

This kid is smart, capable, and never lazy. If he is allowed to follow his father, he will definitely be able to take good care of him.

Qin Dafu hesitated for a moment, "That's good, but Didan doesn't have to follow me, he still has to feed the chickens, ducks and geese. I'll just lead the big black and the little white."

Looking at these two cute dogs, he couldn't help but think of that stupid little yellow. If he was there, maybe it would be more lively, alas.

Maybe because of that incident, Big Black and Little White both remembered things, and they wouldn't eat anything unless it was given by their own family.

My own family also scored points. If it was given by Xiuyao and Liu Shi, then I would definitely eat it, and I have to look at the ones given by others.

Because of guilt, Qin Dafu has always been kind to the younger brothers, so he is also included in the category of trust, and the two dogs are no strangers to him now.

Xiuyao just wanted to find something for him to do, as long as he agreed, she even asked him to bring the head of old Qin, so that grandpa would not be bored and have nothing to do.

But grandpa is a bit entertaining and can be a big beam, but dad can't, he's tired all the time.

It seems that I have to find some entertainment for him later, such as playing chess, raising birds, tasting tea, listening to operas, whatever, just don't let him get bored.

But Xiuxian's marriage is about to be settled, and Qin Dafu has other things to do, helping Liu's count the dowry, etc., but it's all busy with Xiuyao, because she has to help write it down.

The family conditions are better, Liu Shi wants to accompany her daughter more, anyway, Xiuqin is different from others, so naturally she won't feel uncomfortable.

The condition of Lao Bai's family is good, and Xiuqin is not punished, so naturally she doesn't care about it.

Xiuyao was dizzy writing, and found a long list, not to mention the necessary clothes and bedding for the four seasons, it was much more than her sister at that time.

There are a lot more daily utensils, utensils, furniture, etc.

In the past, it was a practical but not so delicate large wardrobe. Now, in addition to the large wardrobe, there are also beautiful cabinets.

In addition, some decorations in the bedroom are also included, Xiuyao calculated, it is really a lot, plus the accompanying money at that time will be at least 100 taels of silver, if grandparents know about it, it may be a big deal.

Except for the Zhou family, there is really no such thing as 100 taels of silver to marry a daughter.

But Xiuyao is also happy for the second sister, and there will be more third sisters in the future.
