Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 176
Recently, the entire Yang family has been in a state of tranquility and joy. The tranquility is because of Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming's imperial examination. The joy, of course, is that there are other good things happening in the family, that is, her uncle Yang Weisong is engaged.

The betrothed was from a family in Heishan Town, and this person's age can be regarded as acquaintance. It can be said that Chunqiu can be regarded as the little matchmaker of the two.

That person is the granddaughter of Mrs. Hu who made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Her name is Hu Mei. Because Chunqiu likes to eat cakes, she often went to Mrs. Hu’s house to buy pastries in the early days of Chunqiu. Aunt Hu and her family are familiar with each other, and Hu Mei will also come to help. Once when Chunqiu took Yang Weisong to buy pastries, the two ran into each other. The two already love each other!

Yang Lishi secretly told her about this when she went to the shop later. When Yang Lishi said it, her face was full of smiles. It was obvious that Yang Lishi was very satisfied with Hu Mei.

Hu Mei's family is from Heishan Town, and the whole family lives in the west of the city. Her parents are also honest and responsible people. There is only one son and one daughter under her knees. The son has been married for two years. Hu Mei is old, and her parents also want to marry her. After knowing the other party's situation, Yang Lishi immediately took Yang Weisong to the other party's house to propose a marriage. Don't worry, the marriage will be settled immediately.

The marriage is scheduled for February of this year.Although the weather was not warm at that time, but after a while the shop was busy with things, and Mrs. Yang and Li couldn't spare time. The two families discussed this for a long time, and finally set the date of marriage on February [-]th.

It’s only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there’s still a month to go, but there are a lot of things to be busy at home. I was worried that being busy would affect the efficiency of Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming’s review. As a result, the two now go to Grandpa Yang’s house every day. Wen Shu, it was very late when he came back, so it could be staggered with family affairs.

Although the date has been agreed, there are still details that need to be discussed. The Yang and Li gang notified Gu and Yuan in the evening, asking them to prepare well tonight, and then wait to go to the town together tomorrow. walk pro.

Yuan Shi responded, turned around and went back to the room to search for the clothes to wear tomorrow, it can't be too good, it's a bit overwhelming, and it can't be too bad, it will leave a bad impression on others, alas, Yuan Shi is a little worried , and finally took out a new set of eight layers of satin cotton padded clothes from the bottom of the cabinet. This was newly bought last year.

Now that all the stuff from the bottom of the box has been dug out, Yang Yang Weibo looked on curiously, "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"...Tomorrow, my mother and sister-in-law will go to Heishan Town to see the woman's house, and we will have a kiss soon. If there is any problem, we will solve it early and finish it sooner." Yuan said without turning her head, and her hands were not idle. Then, I rummaged through the clothes in the closet.

Yang Weibo knocked on the table, he didn't know what to think of, and didn't continue talking.

When Chunqiu came back in the evening, Yuan told Chunqiu that she was going out tomorrow, and asked her to stay at home by herself tomorrow. Chunqiu nodded in agreement, signaling her mother to rest assured.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Yuan dressed neatly and went to the front yard. Mrs. Gu had already changed. When Mrs. Yuan came, Mrs. Gu was standing at the door, and Mrs. Yuan smiled at Mrs. Gu. They exchanged pleasantries, and the atmosphere was not bad. Since the chestnut matter came to an end and Gu's benefit from Yuan's, his attitude towards Yuan was not as obvious as before. Although he was dissatisfied, he could still speak well.

The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Yang Li came out wearing a new suit, followed by Yang Weisong who was dressed neatly. The mother and son seemed to be in high spirits.

Yuan Shi looked at Yang Weisong, who was a little shy, and laughed directly, "Hey, Weisong is going to get married soon, remember when I first came here, Weisong was still a child."

"Who said it wasn't? At that time, the third brother was still following the boss to eat every day, and in a blink of an eye, he was going to get married and start a family." Gu also said with emotion.

The two sisters-in-law sang and joked together, until Yang Weisong's face turned red and he became embarrassed.

Mrs. Yang and Li gave a false glance at the two of them, "Okay, okay, this is the person who wants to see his wife, and when the time comes, his face will look like a red ass, but he won't be able to see anyone."

"Hehe, mother, we are so handsome, why can't we see people?" Mrs. Gu teased.

After listening to Yuan Shi, she looked at Gu Shi with some differences. Oh, it's really novel. Her sister-in-law has figured it out today, and she can still joke with Mother.

Mrs. Yang Li was in a good mood today, and Mrs. Gu talked about Mrs. Yang's heart again, and the wrinkled old face burst into a smile, "That's right, that's right, my Nengjia San'er is so handsome, I'm sure I can meet people..."

Yuan Shi listened on the sidelines, and naturally nodded in agreement. In the end, Yang Weisong reminded Yang and Li Shi that the time was up, and the few people left by car.

...

...

Before visiting the woman's house, Mrs. Yang Li deliberately took her two daughters-in-law to Heishan Town to do some shopping. Maybe she figured it out. Mrs. Gu performed very well today. No matter what Mrs. Yang buys, her suggestions are all It's reliable, the three of them bought enough things that they can use when they go to visit. Of course, most of them are the rouge and gouache that girls like. After all, it is also very important to please the future wife.

Because the woman's family knew about Yang and Li's coming, so when Yang and Li entered the door, the woman's parents and family were already waiting at the door.

Grandma Hu was getting old and didn't come out. The ones who came out to meet people were Hu Mei's sister-in-law Xiao Zhou and Hu Mei's mother Hu Zhou. Yes, Hu Mei's eldest brother's wife was Hu Mei's mother's own niece.

Because she had been here before, Mrs. Yang and Li were not nervous. After asking about Grandma Hu's recent situation, she handed the things in her hand to Mrs. Zhou beside her.

Mrs. Hu Zhou looked younger than Mrs. Yang and Li, and the color of her clothes was also lighter. Mrs. Hu Zhou welcomed the four of them in with a smile on his face. Yang Weisong yelled over, this is also a test for the woman's family, Yang Li didn't stop her, and by the way asked Yang Weisong to perform well.

"Old sister, you can count on coming here"

"Hehe, that's not right, old lady, I miss Mei'er a little bit."

The two were in front, followed by Gu Shi and Yuan Shi. They listened to their conversation with interest, and echoed their agreement, smiling as they should.

The two talked for a while, and then they started to get down to business. They talked about various details of their marriage a month later. Yuan and his wife listened to each other without interrupting. When everything was finished, it should be It was time for lunch, and Mrs. Zhou had already prepared the food. Mrs. Yang and Li wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Hu directly dragged her to the dining table.

Mrs. Zhou secretly chewed the root of her tongue with Mrs. Zhou for a while before eating. Mrs. Mrs. Zhou turned her head to look at Mrs. Yang and Li, whose expression was obviously happier. Mrs. Yuan chewed and ate slowly, looking at Mrs. Gu. At a glance, it's likely that Xiao Zhou's mentioned the gifts brought by their family. Although the marriage is settled, the more gifts you bring, the more you can show your importance to people?Yang Weisong is the youngest son of Yang Li's family, so he loves Yang Weisong the most. It's no wonder that there are many people who are polite. Sister-in-law called very affectionately.

After the meal, Mrs. Yang and Li formally bid farewell to Mrs. Hu Zhou, pulled Yang Weisong, who had been working for a long time, and smiled at Mrs. Hu Zhou, and then turned and left.

The bullock cart wobbled back home, and Yuan Shi knew that today's business was over, and the next step was the big and small things of engagement.

As the days moved forward, it entered March in a flash, and the weather became warmer. People dragged away their heavy cotton clothes and counted lighter clothes.A few days ago, my uncle Yang Weisong finally married Hu Mei. The young couple went to the shop with Yang Lishi just after they got married. Now Yang Lishi is planning to hand over all the things in the shop to the young couple. She is old I can't bear to work all the year round, Mrs. Yang Li plans to hand over all the business of the shop, and then go home with Old Man Yang to support the elderly.

In addition to this matter, Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunming also left home one after another and went to Linfang County for the Tongsheng Examination in a few days. Because she rejected Yuan's plan, Yuan still wanted to persuade her, but seeing her son's resolute expression, she gave up, told him to be careful on the road, and sent him away...
