Chapter 10

After hearing this, Shaoyao became even more uneasy, because although the man she was going to marry was said to be capable of work, he was said to be taciturn. She was a little afraid of men living their lives.

Shiliu couldn't tell that Lihua was insinuating that this man Qian Feng was not a good guy, and that Lihua didn't want her.But Shiliu himself had already thought about Qian Feng's various problems, and the more he thought about it, the more unreliable he felt, and he felt a little worried.

At this time, a 70-year-old old woman came to enjoy the cool with a cattail fan.As soon as she sat down, she said: "Hey, there are almost all girls in our village who are going to marry this year. At that time, we don't know who will live the best life. If you want to talk about getting married, it's like gambling. No one can say for sure." Pomegranate, this morning the Qian family came to give a big gift? I heard that you will leave the court next month, and the Qian family will invite four big sedan chairs to welcome you? It’s amazing, no girl in our village has ever sat in a big sedan chair. A sedan chair!"

Shiliu felt that it was very beautiful to carry a big sedan chair to marry her, so she nodded with a grin and said, "Well, that's what the Qian family asked the matchmaker to say."

Lihua and Shaoyao didn't know about this just now, and now they opened their eyes wide and stared at Pomegranate. A girl like her who has never been able to get married can still have four sedan chairs to marry her. The two have good looks, looks and figures, but their husband's family can at most pull an ox cart to welcome them.

Shaoyao was so envious that she couldn't say anything, Lihua simply lifted her butt and dusted it, and said hastily, "It's getting late, I'm going home to prepare lunch, so I'm leaving first." Then she strode away, from her Jealousy and anger can be seen from the back.

Of course, only Shao Yao and the old lady could see it, but Pomegranate didn't.She looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, and said wonderingly: "It's quite early, and Lihua made this lunch too early."

Shao Yao just smiled, bowed her head to embroider and did not speak.

The old lady picked up the wedding shoes made of peony and praised her for doing well.When Pomegranate saw her, she hurried home to get a sewing basket, and sat next to Shaoyao to learn. The old lady was still teaching beside her. Pomegranate was very happy learning.

It wasn't until the sun was almost in the sky that Shiliu and Shaoyao went home with their sewing baskets, and then went to the vegetable garden behind the house to pick vegetables for lunch.

When the pomegranate cooked a table of meals, Father Tian, ​​Mrs. Lin and Shi Yazi also came back.

As soon as Mrs. Lin came home, she took the pomegranate to the bedroom to see the big gift from the Qian family, "Look, girl, the Qian family is really willing to spend money to buy such things. You will definitely not suffer when you marry the Qian family. Since If they are willing to spend money on you, they are willing to treat you well!"

Mrs. Lin took out the silver collar and silver bracelet sent by the Qian family and put them on Pomegranate to see if they fit, "Oh, the old couple of the Qian family are quite good at buying them. I know that my daughter has thick arms, so the silver bracelets I bought are also extraordinarily thick. , it fits just fine. By the way, have you brought back the silver earring and silver hairpin?"

Shiliu nodded, took it out from her waist and handed it to Mrs. Lin, who put all these on Shiliu's body, and called Father Tian and Shi Yazi to come and have a look.

They all praised Pomegranate wearing these clothes, but Pomegranate had a bitter face.

"What's wrong with you pomegranate, don't you like it?" Father Tian asked.

Shiliu shook her head, touched the big thick silver bracelet on her wrist, and said falteringly: "I... I met that big bastard Qian Feng in the town!"

Lin was shocked and said: "You silly girl, how can you call him a big bastard, he is your fiance, your man!"

Father Tian smiled and asked, "Did he talk to you? He knows that you are going to marry him, so it is reasonable for him to talk to you. You can't call him a jerk just because of this."

Shiliu thought about it for a long time, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Qian Feng said that it would be better not to mention the matter of her growing pork and her sprinkle of pepper, so as not to worry her parents.She just stomped her feet and said, "He doesn't seem to know me anymore, but he obviously knew me before!"

Father Tian, ​​Mrs. Lin and Shi Yazi were all startled, how could Qian Feng not know pomegranate?The pomegranate must have made a mistake.

Father Tian has his own ideas, he said with a smile: "Pomegranate, it's not that he doesn't know you, he's embarrassed to say he knows you, it's because he's being shy, you're such a silly girl!"

Shiliu was about to explain, but Lin also said, "That's right, Qian Feng must have a thin skin. You can't talk to him carelessly. It's a joke. You didn't talk to him, did you?"

Afraid of being scolded by her parents, Shiliu said vaguely: "No... I didn't talk to him. I'm hungry, let's go eat." Shiliu took off the jewelry one by one and handed them to her mother.

The whole family went to the next door to have lunch around the table. After eating, Mrs. Lin prepared to marinate the meat, because the Qian family sent several catties. It was summer, and it would spoil if it was not marinated.Mrs. Lin planned to marinate it and put it in a jar, and then hang it to the bottom of the well, so that it would last for a long time without spoiling.

"Pomegranate, where is the pepper I asked you to buy?" Lin searched the kitchen for a long time but couldn't find it. She wanted to sprinkle some pepper on the bacon.

Shiliu was sitting at the door cutting the red cloth, and when her mother asked her, she said vaguely, "I... I forgot to buy it."

Lin knew that pomegranate was often forgetful, so she didn't take it seriously, so just forget it.

Pomegranate is very guilty, usually she seldom lies to her family, but today she seems to have lied several times, will the gods come to hack her?

After marinating the meat, Mrs. Lin happily took out Qian Feng's shoe sample and handed it to Shiliu, saying: "This is a shoe sample sent by the Qian family. You must make a few pairs for Qian Feng, and you must make a good sample." Some, so that the Qian family can't underestimate you."

Pomegranate puffed her cheeks and said, "I only bought red cloth, I don't want to make shoes for him!"

But Mrs. Lin ran into the house and took out a large piece of blue cloth, saying: "The Qian family is really thoughtful, even these cloths are ready."

Shiliu picked up the scissors and really wanted to cut the piece of blue cloth sent by the Qian family into pieces, but her mother was watching and she didn't dare to cut it.

At this time, her uncle ran over suddenly and shouted: "It's bad! It's bad! Your cattle ran away, and when I came back, I saw it by the river!"

Both Shiliu and Lin turned pale with shock, and Father Tian and Shi Yazi also ran out of the house.

Without further ado, Shiliu dropped what she was holding and ran out. She had the strength of a whole body, and she had caught cattle with her parents before.Immediately afterwards, Lin and Shi Yazi also ran out desperately. The cow is a big livestock in the family, and a cow is worth [-] Wen.

Father Tian was the most sober-minded, and ran along without hesitation, but first found the rein from the house that pierced the nostrils of the cow, and then ran to the river.
