Promise

Chen Ping'an was selling fish at the pier, and Lu Xiaosi wandered over to Ding Wu's braised meat stall to talk.

"Did my mother tell you? Someone drew a portrait to find someone, and that little girl looks a lot like you."

"Said."

Lu Xiangge took a handful of fried peanuts handed over by Ding Wu and sat on a low stool nearby to peel them.

"Those three people were strange. They came straight to my stall. They didn't say anything about buying food or anything. They took out the portraits and showed them to me and asked if I had seen them before. I thought they looked familiar at the time, but I didn't know anything about them.

I didn’t say anything. My mother took one look at her and said she hadn’t seen her before, so they left without asking anyone else. Looking back, I remembered that the little girl in the portrait looked like you."

Seeing that there was no business, Ding Wu simply sat side by side with Lu Xiaosi and started peeling peanuts.

Peel and eat at the same time.

"If you were a girl, I would probably recognize you as soon as I saw the portrait."

"Then I'll go back and ask my parents why they didn't give birth to me as a girl. Or if they gave birth to a girl who looks very similar to me."

After Lu Xiaosi finished speaking, he threw a handful of peanuts in his mouth and chewed them. Not to mention, they were still fragrant.

I'll tell my mother later that I need to leave some land to plant peanuts next spring. This thing is so delicious.

Ding Wu was so amused by Lu Xiaosi that he couldn't stand up with laughter.

After he finally stopped laughing, he started talking to Xiao Si about his fourth brother's marriage.

Ding Laosi’s daughter-in-law was also chosen by Aunt Ding. Aunt Ding was satisfied with it, and Ding Laosi also thought it was okay, so the decision was made.

"My mother said that she won't let my fourth brother leave this time when he comes back. We will get married after autumn. When my fourth sister-in-law is pregnant with the boy, she will let my fourth brother on the ship."

Lu Xiaosi asked casually: "What about you? Has your mother told you what kind of wife you want?"

"Me?" Ding Wu smiled sheepishly, "I'm still young, it will take another two years."

"Not too young."

Lu Xiaosi pretended not to understand, "Did you know that Li Tantan, the eldest son of Li Sixi's family, isn't he the same age as you? His mother started looking for a wife for him this spring. However, she didn't like him.

, despise that his family has no land or house. You are different. Not only does your family have land and a house, but it is also a house in the town. It also has two butchers and a stall. If you talk about a wife, you must talk about a girl from the town.

"

"Aren't all the peanuts from the town and the countryside the same?" Ding Wu handed a handful of peeled peanuts to Lu Xiaosi, "Here, I'll peel them again."

Lu Xiaosi was not polite. He took a handful and stuffed them into his mouth. His mouth was so full that he couldn't even chew it.

Ding Wu gave the peanut to Lu Xiaosi, then freed up his hands and continued peeling it off: "I haven't thought about this yet. Anyway, my eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and fourth sister-in-law are all attracted by my mother, so I think they are pretty good. No.

For example, my second sister-in-law was chosen by my second brother, but I always felt that she was not as good as my mother's choice."

"Yesterday you went to my house to see it. I heard that my third aunt, fifth aunt and sixth aunt had a fight at my house. You can't marry a wife like them. It would be too troublesome! It was still my father back then.

I'm too poor, so when I look at my wife, I just want to be cheap and don't look at her character!"

"Anyway, if I'm looking for a wife, the first thing I want to do is to see what the person looks like, and then see if she is a reasonable person. I also want to see if her parents are reasonable. They are messy.

My daughter is not much better."

Lu Xiaosi nodded frequently when he heard this, but he didn't realize that Brother Xiao Wu was quite powerful, so he understood this.

"If your mother finds one for you, would you be dissatisfied?"

Lu Xiaosi chewed peanuts for a long time, and finally found room in his mouth to speak, "Will you listen to your mother and marry her back?"

Ding Wu looked like you're talking nonsense: "If you're not satisfied, you have to tell me. I told my mother that I don't like it. There's nothing I can't say. It's me who wants to spend the rest of my life with my wife, not me.

Mom. My mother can only say that she has seen a lot in her long life, and she has better eyesight than us and knows how to choose people, but what she chooses must be pleasing to my eyes and comfortable, right?"

"Yes." Lu Shege nodded.

"You are so young, how can you ask about this?" Ding Wu winked at Lu Xiaosi, "Why don't your mother want to give you a wife now?"

Lu Xiaosi raised his eyebrows: "How old am I? My mother is looking after my eldest sister and my second sister now. Why can't it be my turn!"

"Oh, that's right." Ding Wu suddenly realized, "Your second sister still has two years to go. Your eldest sister should be about the same age as me. Girls are fourteen or five years old, so they really need to see each other. It would be appropriate to see each other earlier.

I'm asking about it, and after a year or two, I can get married."

Lu Xiaosi: "Well, my mother thinks so too. My eldest sister has a good temper. To put it nicely, she is gentle and kind, but to put it worst, she is easy to bully. So my mother thought about finding her a simpler family, not so

Even if you have many conflicts, you won’t be bullied.”

"Hahaha..." Ding Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I know you are saying something bad about my family. Yesterday you went to my house and let you see a joke."

Lu Sheige's face was a bit shocked: "No, who doesn't have a few unreasonable relatives?"

"But there are so many in my family!" Ding Wu sighed, "Thanks to my mother's greatness, otherwise, with my father's good-natured temper, he probably wouldn't even be able to peel off the skin and bones for my uncles and aunts to chew on. So, I

If you want to find a wife, you need to find someone as powerful as my mother. If you don’t bully others, you can’t be bullied by others. The same goes for my family members.”

Lu Xiaosi was sure this time that it was Aunt Ding who had a crush on her sister, and that Ding Wu had no idea.

That's fine. She sent a message to her mother yesterday. Considering how much her mother values ​​her eldest sister, she probably won't consider the Ding family again.

Since Ding Wu has no thoughts, Aunt Ding will not go and make peace with her without asking Ding Wu.

Since no one has any intention, the harmony between each other will not be hurt.

Very good, really very good.

When the sun rose, Chen Ping'an's fish and shrimp were finally sold out. He brought a wooden bucket and came to Xiao Si: "Xiao Si, shall we go back?"

"If you don't want to go back now, you can send the barrel to the boat first."

"oh."

Chen Pingan carried the barrel and washed it by the river before sending it back to the boat. He carefully covered it with old wooden boards. After chatting with the steward at the dock for a few words, he calmly went ashore to find Lu Xiaosi.

"Xiao Si, where are we going?"

"Go to town, I'll take you to town for dinner."

Hearing what Lu Xiaosi said, Chen Pingan immediately waved his hand: "No, no, what are you spending the money for? Let's go back and eat."

Eating in town is more expensive.

"It's okay, I have a treat, I don't need to pay for it."

Lu Xiaosi ignored Chen Pingan's objection and dragged him away. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Ding Wu, "Brother Xiao Wu, I'm leaving. I'll bring you something delicious next time."

The snails at home have not been raised yet, so I will fry the snails in two days and give them to Brother Xiaowu for a taste.

Ding Wu liked Lu Xiaosi very much. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, then I'll be waiting."

Maybe what Xiaosi gave him would be delicious and add a new dish to his stall.
