The ancient daily life of a farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 11

Seeing Aunt Liu's concerned eyes, Li Qingnuan pursed her lips and nodded slightly.As long as that man treats her well, she will repay him wholeheartedly.As long as he really loves her, then she won't let others bully him.

Counting the days, Aunt Liu asked Qing Nuan to eat something every two days, and within ten days or so, the skinny, sallow-faced person was a little more rosy and radiant.And Mrs. He also came to take care of her from time to time.

After these days, Aunt Liu has figured out Qing Nuan's temperament thoroughly.This child, I'm afraid he was forced to suffer miserably, otherwise, there would be tenacity and a little bit of firmness in his shy and gentle temperament?But fortunately, her heart is still good, and she didn't become evil with Wang.In this way, it was not in vain because she was embarrassed like that.

But now she is really worried about Kai Tieshi, the child has been in the mountain for more than ten days, and there is no news at all.Although she was worried in her heart, she also secretly felt that the Tian family was heartless and ungrateful, and no one asked to look for the child after he had been gone for so long.But it's not easy to say this, after all, even if it is cruel, it is the Tian family's business.

Four or five days later, when the Wang family felt that the Tian family would not propose marriage anymore, and was about to find Li Qingnuan's next family or sell them directly to the rich man's house in the town as a maid, the village became lively again.The reason for the excitement was that Tian Tieshi, whose legs and feet were covered in mud, and whose right leg was still limping as if bitten by something, came back, and brought back two lively wild geese.

Wild geese are hard to catch, let alone in this difficult season, if you buy them in the town, they will cost at least a few dozen taels of silver.But what made the whole village stunned was that this stupid man didn't even go home, and went directly to the old man Liu's house in the village with the wild goose.

A few days later, the matchmaker, Aunt Liu, brought Tian Tieshi, who was wearing new clothes, to Li's house. The other ones who came were not Old Man Tian and Mrs. Zhang, but Old Uncle Tian, ​​the older generation of the Tian family.

The young people in the village and many people who like to join in the fun gathered in front of Li's house, looking at the two barking wild geese in the yard, and talking about the two baskets of cakes and white sugar that Tian Tieshi was holding in his hand just now, and the unknowing weight The pork and the two big grass carp kept admiring Tian Tieshi's generosity.There are even some who have become daughter-in-laws, envious of Li Qingnuan in their hearts, this is the posture of being lifted up to the sky by Tian Tieshi.

In fact, the betrothal gifts in the village are generally very simple, two-two-two, four-two-four, or six-two-six even-numbered silver, two catties of sugar, two catties of pastries, and two grass carp. The cloth of the clothes means that they are in pairs, and this is considered a success.As for wild geese and half-fingered pork, these are only available to those rich officials who are arty. In this way, the whole county only went out once. Bring a pair of wild geese.What is it like to stay and fly together?Unexpectedly, they would have such a thing in Chaohegou.

Although he achieved his goal and collected six taels of silver, Mrs. Wang still felt very aggrieved.During the entire process of offering the dowry, it was fine if she didn't show a smile, and she always looked for opportunities to provoke and ridicule.What kind of lone star of the devil is matched with a broom star, what kind of worthless mud leg is matched with a broken shoe whose engagement has been divorced.If old man Li hadn't gotten angry in the end and slapped the table next to him fiercely, I don't know what ugly, dirty words would come out of Wang's mouth.

In fact, Mrs. Wang is not afraid of old man Li, she just saw the blue veins on Tian Tieshi's forehead and fists, and she was afraid that she would get beaten up if she angered the other party or just take away her popularity, so she would not get those benefits.

Because Tian Tieshi beat Li Qingnuan to the two wild geese, so after agreeing on the marriage, he directly dragged the thumping wild geese to the backyard.But as soon as he entered the backyard, he was stunned. Their Li family can be regarded as a middle-class family in the village. How could they allow such a beautiful girl to live in this dilapidated place?

The hand holding the wild goose rope couldn't help but clenched tightly. As long as he thought of the weak girl in his heart, living in such a place where there was no shelter from the wind and rain, he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to take her home directly. , give her the best of everything.

Ok.In fact, Tian Tieshi probably doesn't know what the best is, but he thinks that everything should be the best according to the specifications of Zhu Xiucai's mother in the village.

Li Qingnuan lowered his head and stretched out his hand to take over the rope that bound the geese, but accidentally touched the big rough and fiery hand.Feeling dazed for a moment, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Tian Tieshi was also a little embarrassed because of such a touch. He stared at Li Qingnuan with dark and fiery eyes, and he hesitated to explain, "Well, the wild goose is very strong, so let me tie it for you. Wait until the day of marriage, Treat it as your dowry..."
