Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 107

Zhang Yun was sitting in the room, always feeling uneasy, fearing that his family and the Chang family could not reach an agreement, and would start cursing, even to the point of doing something, but couldn't help but stand up in the end, ready to go out and have a look, if If there is a chance, pull Zhou Shi out to express his feelings to her and ask her to help make peace.

Before Zhang Yun could open the door and go out, someone pushed the door and came in. She looked up, and it turned out to be Mrs. Zhou.

"Mother, how's the situation over there?" Zhang Yun hurried over to take Zhou's arm and asked anxiously.

Mrs. Zhou patted the back of her hand, didn't say anything, but pulled her in, turned around and closed the door, went to light the oil lamp in the room, took her hand and sat back on the kang.

"Don't worry, although your grandfather is impatient, he is not a messy person. He will be sitting in the main room and talking, there is nothing wrong with it, otherwise I won't come out." Zhou's soft voice comforted her daughter, seeing She showed a relieved expression, and a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhou gently held her hand, and said in a low voice: "Yun'er, tell your mother honestly, are you happy with this marriage or not?"

Zhang Yun turned to look at Mrs. Zhou, under the flickering lights, her face reflected a soft light, looking so gentle and kind.

After only one glance, Zhang Yun opened his mouth, his voice was soft but firm, "Mother, I know that my family doesn't like Chang Man and thinks he has insulted my reputation, but I always think he is unintentional." It’s a mistake, and it’s been so long, forget what should be forgotten, and stop thinking about the mistakes of the past.”

At this juncture, even if Mrs. Zhou didn't come to ask, Zhang Yun had already made up his mind to speak out his mind. After all, it was related to his life, and he must not be ambiguous, but because his grandfather was on fire, he wanted to After a few days, wait for him to calm down, and then have a good talk, but Chang Man seems to be in a daze, and he has to make it step by step, resulting in the current situation, and right now, he can only reveal it to Mrs. Zhou I know, among other things, my mother will always take care of her.

Although she didn't answer directly in the words, Mrs. Zhou already understood. With her eyes drooping slightly, she caressed the back of her hand and said, "Your mother understands, your father and I will consider you carefully." Sincerely."

After saying these words, Mrs. Zhou stood up and said softly: "Okay, don't think about it too much, no matter what, it's up to parents to make decisions. You have to get up early tomorrow to squeeze tea oil, so let's rest early."

Zhang Yun obediently nodded in agreement, and when she was sending Mrs. Zhou out, she raised her eyes to look at the main room, and saw that the lights in the main room were still on, so it could be seen that the two families hadn't settled the matter yet, so she could only watch here. After a few glances, he closed the door, sat back on the kang and waited quietly.

After expressing his feelings to Mrs. Zhou, Zhang Yun felt a lot more at ease. He sat in the room and listened to the movement. The Chang family should have left.

It's night now, although Zhang Yun wanted to know the result, it was not easy to ask, she just waited for the Chang family to leave, and after making sure that the situation did not develop into a fight, she calmed down, took off her clothes and pants, went to the kang to rest .

I got enough sleep that night, and I got up early the next morning. Today is the third day of junior high school, and it’s the Zhang family’s turn to extract oil. It’s going to be very busy all day, so it’s good to go this way, so I don’t have to think about it Western.

As soon as Zhang Yun came out of the house, he saw that his father and elder brother were already in the yard, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurried into the kitchen, where Mrs. Zhou was already busy at the stove.

Mrs. Zhou neatly divided out the camellia powder, filled seven wooden barrels, and Zhang Yun was on the side to help. It took nearly three quarters of an hour to get everything in order. The oil can be squeezed when the pole is picked up. .

"Father, it's all done. Breakfast is already in the pot. Let's go after eating." After Zhou's hands stopped, he called Zhang Youqing.

The call was heard, and Zhang Youqing and Zhang Zhangcheng in the yard entered the kitchen together. Mrs. Zhou opened the lid of the pot, filled them with bowls of millet porridge, and then opened the steamer, took out the steamed buns and handed them to them. The father and son squatted with the bowls in their hands. He ate by the corner.

"Xingzi, come and have breakfast." Zhang Yun was not free, so he went to call Zhang Xing over. The siblings sat down on the small bench together and ate breakfast on the water tank board. Take the copy to Zhang Liangen in the house.

"What's wrong with grandpa? Why don't you come out for breakfast?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but wonder as he watched Mrs. Zhou bring out the breakfast, so he asked.

Zhang Youqing and Zhang Zhang, who were squatting, all stopped, looked at Zhang Yun, but did not say the reason, but Zhang Zhang said: "Don't worry about so much, eat quickly, or you will be late in school." Zhang Xing blinked a few times Eyes, although he was a little muttering in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, and buried himself in the porridge.

Although no one said anything on the surface, but Zhang Yun knew in his heart that his grandfather was very angry with what happened yesterday, and he was unhappy. From this point of view, the matter of the Chang family's coming to propose marriage may not go so smoothly.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Zhou went back into the kitchen, filled herself with porridge, and ate steamed buns. After a while, all the breakfast was eaten, and Zhang’s family wiped their mouths, and brought poles, picked up wooden barrels each, and prepared let's go.

There was no sign of Zhang Liangen until he left the courtyard gate of his house. Zhang Yun carried a small bucket of camellia powder in his hand and walked forward in small steps, but looked back several times. Zhou, who was carrying a burden beside him, saw She said in a low voice: "Yesterday your grandfather hurt his hand, so your father let him rest at home, and we are enough."

Hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, Zhang Yun nodded, thinking that grandpa didn't know when he would be able to calm down, muttering in his stomach, he walked with his family without any further delay.

Zhang Xing also followed them out the door, and when he got outside the school, he stepped in, while the others bypassed the school and went to the threshing ground behind.

Since the ancestral hall was renovated into a school, the oil press inside was moved out, and the oil press was too heavy to be moved far away, so the villagers built a grass shed beside the wheat threshing ground and put the oil press in the Under the thatched shed, the villagers can continue to squeeze oil.

The Zhang family walked around the school and saw someone standing outside the thatched shed from a long distance away. When they came closer to have a look, it was actually full again.

Chang Man's frequent appearances made Zhang's family feel pressured, and their hearts were inevitably irritated, especially Zhang Zhang, who was always the most impatient when he was young, so he immediately quickened his pace, half-running and half-rushing to him, and said impatiently: " Why are you lingering, you already said yesterday that you will think about it, so you can't stop for a few days and let our family think about it."

"Cheng Zi, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to help." Chang Man hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but he didn't care so much about the regulations, and his face was obviously displeased, and he said firmly: "Our family has people, so we don't need your help. Things are still undecided, don't act like our son-in-law."

"What nonsense, don't hurry up and pick out pancakes." As soon as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, there was a low voice behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Youqing with a slightly sullen face, staring at him.

At this time, Zhang Zhang realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. His family was not the only one who was arranged to extract oil in the village today. As soon as he said this, other people would hear it. After closing his mouth and staring at Chang Man, he carried the burden and walked to the thatched shed.

Zhang Yun has been standing at the back, and it is really inconvenient for her to say much, so she can only look straight at Chang Man, hoping in her heart that he will stop being so obstinate and so aggressive, maybe it will really cause Zhang's family to backlash, and when the time comes Even better results can't be obtained.

Thinking to herself, seeing Mrs. Zhou walking towards the thatched shed, she followed. Chang Man wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhang Youqing.

"Go, I have something to tell you." After Zhang Youqing finished speaking, he put down the burden on his shoulders and called in: "Chengzi, take the burden in, and I will be back in a while." Before the regulations In response, he strode forward.

Chang Man glanced at the petite figure in the thatched shed, and then followed. The two of them walked to the hiding place one by one, and then stopped.

Zhang Youqing turned around, looked around for a while, and when he was sure there was no one there, he said, "Anyway, I'm also an elder, so I won't play tricks, just ask if you have anything to say."

Chang Man stood upright, showing a respectful face, nodded hurriedly, waiting for Zhang Youqing to ask questions.

"Look at your appearance these past two days. I think you like our daughter very much." Zhang Youqing said this bluntly, and Changman was a little surprised, but he would miss this opportunity to express himself, and hurriedly said: "I only have Yun'er in my heart, she will not marry right or wrong in this life, what I say is true..."

Chang Man was about to express his feelings again, but Zhang Youqing waved his hand to stop him, "Living life is not just about liking it, have you ever thought about how to make Yun'er live well in the future? Have a good time."

This is the plain truth, Chang Man naturally understood, nodded violently at him, and said firmly: "I will love Yun'er very much, and I will not let her suffer a little bit."

"Just talk about it with your mouth, how can you do it?"

"I really don't have a lot of achievements now, but these days, I have been getting up early to sell tofu flowers, and I have saved a little money, and I stayed in Changzhou for a while this time, just to discuss with my uncle and cousin. Is there a better way for the straw weaving utensils in the village, these days are indeed not in vain, I have already thought of a new way, and I am starting to prepare, if it can be done, maybe I can sell more." Chang Man explained the latest plan Come on.

Zhang Youqing heard him finish, and before he could ask, Chang Man said again, "After I came back this time, I have been working on it. I am going to dye our straw weaving utensils. Maybe it will sell better. Really. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll think of another way, and I’ll definitely do my best to let Yun’er live a good life.” In front of his future father-in-law, he wished to pour out his heart and soul, and tell him all his future plans. He listened, so that Zhang's family could have some confidence in him.

After finishing the call, Chang Man stopped and waited quietly for Zhang Youqing's signal. Zhang Youqing pondered for a while, and said: "I have counted all these. You should go back first. This marriage will be arranged by our family again." Think about it, and reply in a few days." After speaking, he didn't stop and walked straight forward.

Although Chang Man really wanted to follow up again, but Zhang Youqing said so, he didn't dare to be too pretentious, he could only stare blankly at the back as he walked away, turned around and went back after a while.

After Zhang Youqing went back to the hut, he didn't say a word about it. He just buried himself in helping to knead pancakes, and then, together with Zhang Zhang, hit tree stumps to extract oil.

After a while, other families in the village, which was the turn of the oil press today, also came over one after another, and the thatched shed became lively. With so many people waiting, it was not easy for the Zhang family to occupy the oil press for too long, so After squeezing half of it, I let it out, and I was going to wait until tomorrow to squeeze out the other half.

After letting the oil press out, Zhang's family tidied up and went home with two barrels of camellia oil, the remaining camellia powder, and the dried camellia cake.

It was already past noon when we got home, and after finishing the usual housework, Mrs. Zhou went to the kitchen to make dinner. Before dark, the family finished dinner in the main room, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Mrs. Zhou washed the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and after tidying up everything, she also went back to the house. As soon as she opened the door and entered the house, she saw Zhang Youqing sitting cross-legged on the kang, beckoning her to sit down, and seeing the expression on his face, It seems that there is something to discuss.
