Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 109

Zhang Yun did not expect that the Chang family would move so quickly. After returning from the field, the Chang family visited again after dinner that evening. Did not follow.

The purpose of the Chang family's visit is self-evident. When Chang Tiemu and Shao Shi came into the yard together, Zhang Youqing and Zhou Shi called them into the main room and sat down.

This was to discuss marriage, so Zhang Yun couldn't be there, so she hurriedly retreated from the main room and went back to her own room. After the scene in the field in the morning, she felt much more relaxed than last time.

The two families sat and talked for a long time in the main room, and Zhang Yun also listened to the movement in the room for a long time. After about half an hour, they heard the sound of seeing off guests from the main room. Chang Tiemu, The Shao family left Zhang's house.

Zhang Yun didn't have the nerve to inquire about the situation, so when they left the yard, he stood up and spread the quilt, preparing to take a rest early.

Before the quilt was spread out, the door opened with a creak, and a gust of cold wind came in. Zhang Yun turned his head to look, and it was Mrs. Zhou who came in.

Mrs. Zhou closed the door and walked to the kang in a few steps. Zhang Yun hurried up to hold her hand, but felt her hands were cold, and said, "Mother, it's so cold outside, why don't you rest earlier."

Zhou smiled and sat down on the edge of the kang, and pulled her to sit down with her, "I think you must be waiting for the news, so you just sent people away with your front feet, and then came in with your back feet."

This is about Zhang Yun's marriage. Zhou Shi said so, she was still somewhat shy, she hurriedly lowered her head, and said softly: "Mother, how can I wait for you?"

"Whether you wait or not, you should know about today's affairs." Seeing the shy look on her daughter's face, Mrs. Zhou smiled even more, and continued: "Today, our family and Chang's family are together." We've talked about it, we won't object to this marriage, but you still have Cheng Zi above you, you have to wait for his big brother to say goodbye before it's your turn, and it will take a while."

Zhang Yun listened carefully, what Zhou said was exactly what she wanted. How can she say that at her age, she is only a junior high school student in modern times. It is really difficult to get used to marrying like this. If only she could stay at home for more time , of course she couldn't wish for it.

"Well, everything is up to the parents." Zhang Yun felt relieved, with a slight smile on his face, and said softly.

Mrs. Zhou laughed immediately, stretched out her hand and poked her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "This is a nice word, if your father and I agree to this marriage, can you really let us?"

Zhang Yun stretched out his hand and touched his forehead. When his mother teased her, a red cloud flew over his face. He couldn't help but fell to the side, slipped into Zhou's arms, and said coquettishly, "I know that parents are the ones who love you the most." Me, won't make me sad."

Mrs. Zhou hugged Zhang Yun with a smile, touched her black hair, and thought in her heart that the girl was about to get married, and the days when she could act like a baby were not many. After caressing her for a while, he said: "Okay, such a big person, still in Lai Niang's arms."

But Zhang Yun rubbed in Zhou's arms for a while, it was the first time for her to act like a spoiled child, thinking that her time at home would not be long, a sense of reluctance rose in her heart.

Seeing that she was hugging her waist and didn't want to leave, Mrs. Zhou patted her on the back and said with a smile: "Why is our girl getting younger and younger as she lives?" push away.

The mother and daughter warmed up for a while before Zhang Yun left Zhou's arms. Zhou smiled and said, "Now it's almost the twelfth lunar month, and the family will have to sell tea oil next. I discussed it with your father. At the market, fried tofu and stinky tofu are sold, and the pigs in the pigsty should be slaughtered at that time. Things are piled up and I am very busy. I wanted to make a marriage for you earlier, but now I can’t do it. Do it later."

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry. The family's livelihood is the most important thing." Zhang Yun listened and said in a busy voice. In a year, she relied on making more money around the twelfth lunar month. Nothing is more important than this. She doesn't have it now. When it comes to age, it doesn't matter much to be late, as long as the two families agree and feel at ease.

Seeing what her daughter said, Mrs. Zhou nodded in relief, stood up, and said with a smile: "Since you also think it's good, then let's get busy with this new year first, and get married after a year later."

"En." Zhang Yun responded softly, stood up and sent Mrs. Zhou out, and then rested after washing up.

These days, he has been worrying about his marriage. Now that everything has settled, Zhang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief and slept soundly tonight.

When he got up the next morning, the snow that had fallen all night had stopped. Zhang Zhang hurriedly ate breakfast, and went out with two small barrels of oil. He had made an appointment with some partners in the village, and went to the town together to find a warehouse to sell oil.

A few days ago, the few of them traveled almost all over the town, contacted many warehouses, and ordered tea oil. Therefore, in the next few days, Zhang Zhang went to the town with a burden every day, and the sales of tea oil went smoothly. It took three days to sell half of the family's camellia oil and get back three taels of silver.

Seeing that Zhang Zhang and the others were selling well, many people in the village came to their door one after another, wanting to ask Zhang Zhang and the others to help sell their tea oil.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yun came up with the idea of ​​commission again, and asked Zhang Zhang to organize sales personnel. He found more than a dozen people. A small part of the silver that was brought back was used as their commission.

When selling cattail utensils last time, I had already used the commission method, so when it was my turn to sell tea oil, it was quickly accepted by the village.

On the basis of helping the village, more than a dozen young men can still get some small profits, so they become more motivated. They get up early and work late every day, and successfully sell the tea oil from many people in the village. They were so enthusiastic that they all looked at them as Gods of Wealth.

Zhang Zhang was busy selling tea oil, and the rest of the Zhang family were not free. When the Chang family came to the door that day, they heard that the Zhang family would sell puffed tofu and stinky tofu in the twelfth lunar month. Tofu, it's time to bring it to Zhang's family.

Woke up early this morning, after Zhang Yun had breakfast, he helped Mrs. Zhou clean up. After finishing the housework at hand, he went to Chang's house to have a look. His tofu should be almost ready, so she wanted to get it back sooner. Hand molded tofu.

After feeding the chickens and pigs in the yard, Zhang Yun took off his apron and was about to go to the kitchen to wash his hands before going out. He had just scooped up water in the basin, put the wooden basin on the water tank board and bent over to wash his hands, when he heard There was a voice, and I thought it was Mrs. Zhou who came back carrying water, so I said, "Mother, I'm going to Uncle Tiemu's house to fetch tofu, and I'll be back later."

After finishing speaking, but no one answered behind her, Zhang Yun turned her head to look. When she turned her head, she almost bumped into a chest. She quickly raised her eyes and saw that Chang Man entered the kitchen at some point, and was standing behind her, leaning on her. Very close, almost against her back.

"You didn't call out when you came in, you're so frightening." Zhang Yun was indeed frightened, and his heart was still pounding. Standing made her heartbeat not slow down.

Chang Man's feet didn't move, instead, he grasped the hands that were touching his chest, wrapped his small hands into his palms, and pressed them tightly against his chest.

Chang Man's hands are very warm, making her slightly cold hands warm up immediately, but Zhang Yun is not easy for him to hold like this, Zhou Shi will come back anytime.

"Let go, my mother is going to fetch water, and she will be back soon." Zhang Yun struggled lightly with his hands, his face was a little hot.

Chang Man clenched his hands even tighter, and said in his mouth: "Yun'er, your family has already agreed to our marriage, did your parents tell you?"

Hearing his nervous voice, Zhang Yun stopped struggling with his hands, looked up at him, and nodded silently.

Chang Man's eyes lit up in an instant, and the smile on his face couldn't stop. Just holding her hand like this, he really couldn't vent his excitement, so he let go of his hand immediately, stretched out his arms, and embraced her whole body. arms.

"Yun'er, do you know how happy I am, I can marry you, and I have nothing to ask for in this life." Chang Man's slightly trembling voice fell from the top of his head. Zhang Yun was still struggling a little and wanted to get away. Opened his arms, and slowly quieted down after listening.

Chang Man felt that she stopped struggling, and added a little more strength to her hands, making her tightly hugged in her arms.

Thinking of the sins and sufferings he suffered in those days, Zhang Yun's heart softened instantly. He slowly stretched out his arms and gently hugged him back, resting his head on his chest, his thumping heartbeat could be heard in his ears Sound, this feeling is very strange, a sense of solid warmth lingers around her, and her heart beats a little.

The closeness of the person in his arms made Chang Man so happy that he seemed to be flying into the sky. He was so buoyant that he pressed his face against her hair and dawdled slightly.

The two just cuddled together like this, Changman sighed contentedly, and murmured softly for a long time: "Yun'er, wait for me, I will definitely earn more money, give you a generous dowry, and marry you back home beautifully." , and don’t let you worry about the days to come.”

Listening to Chang Man's swearing, Zhang Yun slightly closed his eyes, and nodded slightly. She really felt in her heart that he would do everything for this goal.

"I'm going to Changzhou again in two days to pick out the dyed straw woven utensils. If I succeed, the future income will increase." Chang Man whispered in her ear, Only then did Zhang Yun remember that the charter had said that he had been dyeing cattail grass and utensils these days, and it seemed that it had already been dyed, so he felt relieved.

Just as Zhang Yun was about to say a few words of encouragement, there was a sound outside the door, which frightened her and forced her to move away. Chang Man had no choice but to let her go, and the two quickly separated.

As soon as they separated and stood still, Mrs. Zhou came in carrying water, and when she saw Chang Man, she smiled and said, "Why is Man Zi here?"

"Auntie, I'm here to deliver tofu." Chang Man pointed to the stove as he said that, and Zhang Yun realized that there was a plate of tofu on the stove at some point, why didn't he notice it just now, and remembered the situation just now , his face became a little hot.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at the tofu and quickly thanked her. Chang Man couldn't stay any longer, so she said, "I still have a few boards at home, so I'll get them right away." After speaking, he turned and ran out of the kitchen.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at her daughter, saw her face full of shame, then looked at Chang Man's back, and smiled knowingly.
