Not to mention that Zhang Lihua was envious of Song Qiu's good luck, even Mrs. Yuan was so shocked that she could not speak when she saw that her granddaughter had picked up gallinobacteria again, and there were still so many, much more than last time.
.
Her granddaughter is so lucky!
It seems that since I got seriously ill, all these blessings seem to have come out.
For a moment, Old Yuan was happy and worried at the same time.
I am happy that my granddaughter is blessed, and blessing is a good thing.
But she is worried that her granddaughter will not be able to hold back her good fortune.
Mrs. Yuan thought that when she went to Songshan Temple during the Dragon Boat Festival, she would kowtow to the Buddha many times and ask for a peace charm to be brought to her granddaughter to protect her good fortune.
After picking up so many gallinopsis fungi, I will definitely go to town tomorrow, otherwise it will be all in vain.
So Old Yuan immediately went to Wujin's house.
At this point, Friday Jin hasn't come back yet, but it's the same thing to tell his wife.
When I arrived at Zhou's house, I saw Jin Juhua there, having fun with his five-pound daughter-in-law Manju.
When they saw old Mrs. Yuan coming, the two daughters-in-law naturally said hello and said hello to Auntie.
Old Yuan had agreed to go to town to sell mountain mushrooms tomorrow, and planned to go home, but Jinjuhua held her back.
"Auntie, you are the best at understanding people in this village. Please don't leave in a hurry. Please sit down for a while and help us come up with ideas!"
Jinjuhua and Manju’s natal family are related, so their relationship is naturally different.
When Old Yuan saw this quarrel, she guessed that they were talking about the marriage of her children. She didn't want to get involved casually, but thinking about Aqiu, she took advantage of the opportunity and was pulled by Jin Juhua to sit down.
She didn't know many people, so it wouldn't hurt to listen to what others had to say to A Qiuxiang.
This golden chrysanthemum is a talkative one, and the people in the villages around ten miles away are the most well-informed.
"What idea do you want me, an old woman, to come up with? That's what you said, Juhua."
Jin Juhua waved her hand and smiled, her mouth tightening with sweetness, "Auntie often travels around ten miles and eight villages to deliver babies to others. She has seen many people and experienced many things. Manju and I don't have a mother-in-law in our family.
, Auntie is a nice person, we will kiss each other when we see her, it is always right to ask auntie what she thinks."
Man Ju spoke closely, and then followed up: "My Shitou, Aunt, you have also watched him grow up. He is also old. I am telling Ju Hua about him. Aunt, do you want to hear it together?"
When Old Yuan heard this, she realized that it was indeed a marriage between son and daughter, and it was Shitou. She didn't know what she thought of, she paused, and then said: "Isn't Shitou's child fifteen years old this year? It's time to start seeing each other, Manju, you
Which girl did you fall in love with?"
Jin Juhua spoke quickly, "She is a girl from my natal village. She is good-looking and hard-working. She is about the same age as Shitou. However, the bride price is a bit thicker than ordinary people. But that family only has such a daughter, so she should be treated with more pain.
.”
"I took advantage of the situation to get married to that girl. She looks good and has a good temperament, but the gift is a little too much. Auntie, let's see if this marriage can work?" Man Ju said.
It's another girl.
Old Yuan thought of Lihua's face and sighed invisibly, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She just nodded and said: "Isn't it that we look at girls based on their temperament and character? Of course,
You have to have a decent appearance, right? No matter how good-looking the stone is, this girl sounds pretty good. Since you have met her secretly, Manju, you are a mother, so why don’t you know how to find a wife? "
Manju laughed when she heard this. It seemed that she was indeed very satisfied with the girl, but she continued: "Auntie, you are right. That's right, this gift is really expensive. In addition to the jewelry, there are other things that need to be paid."
There’s a bride price of ten taels of silver!”
Old Yuan was stunned when he heard that the bride price of ten taels of silver was really too expensive.
With the current price of betrothal gifts, most farmers are really satisfied with the price, which is only a bride price of five taels of silver.
However, the Zhou family is still quite well-off in the village. The ten taels of silver can definitely be taken out casually. It just depends on whether you are willing to do so.
There was no need to ask her about the idea of the bride price.
Naturally, Mr. Yuan will not say anything about this matter, just one sentence, whatever you think is good, and this girl sounds good to you.
And Manju didn't really want to hear what she said about the rules, she just talked casually and had a good idea in her heart.
Now that she was thinking about it, she stopped mentioning it and started talking about other things.
It's nothing more than some short-lived parents and their children's marriage affairs.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Old Yuan really got up and went home. Today's sitting was not completely fruitless.
After all, there is this talkative Jin Juhua.
So Old Yuan knew a lot. For example, the village chief's wife had chosen the daughter of a family in Dayao Village in front of her eldest grandson. The family had a good family tradition, a simple population, and only had two children. The girl was of extremely good character.
Well, he can go to the kitchen under the hall, and his son is also good. He is studying in the town, and his wife praises him for his knowledge.
The family's conditions were so good, so the girl there was naturally watched by countless people. Old Yuan thought that even though the boy was good, he might not be suitable for their family, so he just listened and didn't think much about it.
On the other hand, Old Yuan thought the other one mentioned by Jin Juhua was quite good.
This person was from the opposite side. His family had several acres of thin farmland, and his life was relatively easy. However, he lost his parents when he was young. He was raised by his grandparents. Now his grandma has also passed away, and only his grandfather is left to live with him.
This boy is very energetic and diligent at work. He can keep the fields at home tidy all by himself. He is also good-tempered and doesn't talk much. He always smiles when he meets everyone, no matter what others say.
He's a good-natured person who doesn't get upset at all.
In this case, it must be good for the daughter-in-law, and the girl will be able to take charge of the family after she is married. Without the pressure of the mother-in-law, the young couple can live a harmonious life, how beautiful is it?
Old Yuan thought it was quite good, but she just thought about it. I heard that the boy had asked a matchmaker to help him see her. If there is a fate, let's talk about it later.
It's not like her to take the initiative to lean over. After all, it's not like her Aqiu can't get married.
In addition, the family does not have enough money now. If she really fell in love so quickly, she would not be able to prepare a dowry.
So I just thought it was good, and Old Yuan didn't mention it much when he went back.
When she entered the yard, Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua were sitting together in front of the pressurized water well, cleaning mountain fungi, talking and laughing. At this point, Zhang Laodou and others, who had been to Chengjiazhuang for a day, still hadn't returned yet.
So these two people were laughing and joking without fear of anyone saying anything.
Old Yuan looked at Zhang Lihua who was smiling happily, thinking about the Zhou family affairs, and couldn't help but sigh again, what a pity.
She had just entered the house, and Zhang Lihua was chatting with Song Qiu on the other side, "I heard that my third uncle and three aunts have collected five hundred taels of silver, and Sister Xinghua has sent it to the county.
There is a special place in the county to teach show girls the rules, and the chosen ones have to learn the rules for half a year before they are sent to the capital!"
"Everyone has spent a lot of money. I still hope that she can be successful and have a good life if she is chosen. But she must not cause a big disaster for the family."
