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

Chapter 8

"Tieshi, are you determined to marry a girl from the Li family?" Aunt Liu is not worried, but neither the Wang family of the Li family nor the Zhang family of the Tian family are the kind of reasonable people.If Tian Tieshi really does not want to marry a girl from the Li family, I am afraid that the Wang family will be asking for money.

Tian Tieshi nodded with a blushing face, and looked at his aunt embarrassedly, "I have to ask my aunt for help in this matter, my mother definitely doesn't care, so I have to go to my aunt to make a match."

Although Tian Tieshi has a sincere heart, he has also experienced the scene of his second brother getting married.This door-to-door marriage proposal, dowry gift, and signing of the marriage certificate are all indispensable.He wanted Li Qingnuan to live a down-to-earth life with him instead of being laughed at.

The village is less formal than the outside, and the person who proposes marriage can be an elder in the village or a good neighbor.In fact, it's just a microphone to witness by the way.But Tian Tieshi didn't want his mother to find him, he knew his mother's temper, if he really relied on his mother to do things, he would definitely give Qing Nuan a shame.

"How do you plan to pay the betrothal gift?" Aunt Liu knew that the old man Tian had told Mrs. Zhang that they would not stop Tian Tieshi from getting married, but don't even think about getting a penny from the family.

When it came to the dowry, Tian Tieshi was also a little embarrassed. His mother and father had all the money for picking ginseng before, and now he only had three or four taels of money.Even if you add the hidden point, it is only a dozen or so, not to mention the suona of the sedan chair, and I am afraid that it is not enough for the banquet.

"I'm going into the mountains tonight to see if I can find something good." Tian Tieshi never thought of going home to discuss with Old Man Tian and the others. Anyway, no matter how much you negotiate, you won't be able to get any money, so it's a waste of time. It will be summer soon, and there will be many good things in the woods."

It is said that there are many good objects, but how can the things in the deep mountains be so easy to dig?Especially those spiritual wild ginseng medicinal materials, there are either poisonous snakes or tiger's dens.Although Aunt Liu has never seen it, she has also heard from the older generation that wild things have spirituality, and the more valuable they are, the more vicious the beasts that guard them.

"Tieshi, you have to think about doing something else. After you marry a wife and have children, you don't dare to go to the mountains to pick things. If there is trouble, how will you let the rest of you live? "This job of earning money by life can be done for a while, but not for a lifetime.In a farmer's family, the man is the sky and the pillar of the family. Once the man in the family has a problem, the sky of the family will be trampled.

"Auntie, I understand. When I have saved enough money to get married, I will go back to the town to do a long-term job. How can I earn money with all my strength?" Tian Tieshi knew that his aunt was doing it for his own good, so he wiped it with a coat soaked in cold water. She frowned, "Then wait for the uncle to come back, tell him that I won't go to town the day after tomorrow. If you need something, I'll bring it back to you when I come back next time."

After leaving the door of Aunt Liu's house, Tian Tieshi began to wonder how much money he had to prepare this time.When the second younger brother got married, the bride price seemed to be six taels, plus the gifts and a few feet of floral cloth, the total cost was seven taels.Then came the big red flowers and banquets used to decorate the ox cart, which cost more than three taels of silver.For the total of ten taels of silver, he didn't want his wife to be wronged by him, so he wanted to reorganize the room, at least there should be cabinets on both sides of the kang head, as well as the red candles, bridal sedan chairs, and drummers mentioned in the script. I want to get ready.

Calculated in this way, he had to prepare at least 15 taels of silver before going to propose marriage.There is also the little girl, her stepmother is definitely not willing to buy things for her, so she has to fill it with three or five taels of silver and let the little girl go to the market to buy something she likes.In addition, there is the cost of supporting the daughter-in-law after marriage, and you have to prepare two taels of silver.

Although the pressure was great, Tian Tieshi was so happy when he thought that he could bring his wife home immediately, he didn't know what to do.Just like that, the 1.8-meter-long man was thinking about Li Qingnuan, who had clear eyes and was humming a song, and went straight into the mountains without even returning home.

When Uncle Liu came back, he was happy to hear what the old woman said.As for the other pheasant left by Tie Shi, he kindly told the old woman to keep it for the girl Qing Nuan.

When Li Qingnuan came home, she ran into Mrs. Wang leaning on the stove door and cursing, saying that there was a cornbread mixed with flour on the stove, and some little hoof had stolen it.This meant that Li Qingnuan was accusing Li Qingnuan of being greedy. In fact, no one knew that Mrs. Wang was looking for faults, and she was looking for faults with the two dry rations that Li Qingnuan asked the doctor to send that day.

Seeing that Li Qingnuan didn't pay attention to her, but went to dry the clothes in a contented manner, Wang suddenly became unbalanced. Damn it, ever since this bitch woke up after passing out, she has become more and more difficult to handle.No matter how much she scolded, she could just ignore it, and occasionally she would just contradict her when she opened her mouth.However, if I say that this girl is ignorant outside, I will be persuaded by the neighbors and folks. Doesn't the meaning of what I said mean that I want to treat this debt collector kindly?
