Chapter 52 She was begged by her husband's family as a treasure
Zhou Yan saw that he was almost crying, and said unhappily: "Where are you looking? She is my wife, what are you looking at?"
"Ah?" Yang Zhili's first thought was, it's over, it's over, a flower is stuck on the cow dung.
"Ah what? What's that expression on your face? Don't I deserve a good wife?"
Zhou Yan's words completely shattered Yang Zhili's imagination. He calmed down and said, "Zhou Yan, have you said goodbye?"
"Sister Hu is picking an auspicious day. Don't ask this, what are you doing here? It's okay. If you don't have dinner at home, why are you here at my house?"
Yang Zhili touched his nose and said, "What did you eat at home that smells so good? Half of the town smells like this. Let me take a look."
Zhou Yan pulled him to the rice pot and showed him a pot of fragrant rice. The rice grains were soaked in soy sauce and turned crystal clear, like amber.
Broad bean slabs, diced bacon, and golden potatoes instantly brought out Yang Zhili's greedy side.
However, Zhou Yan took him to look at the milky white fish soup in the pot, poured a small spoon into his mouth, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Does it taste good?"
Why doesn't it taste good? Yang Zhili's face showed a magical expression.
"It's so delicious, Zhou Yan, can I have dinner here tonight?"
"No!" Zhou Yan said harshly, "How can I give you something that my wife has worked so hard to make?"
"Zhou Yan, it's such a big pot, why can't you give me a bowl? Haven't you given me a gift yet? Tomorrow I will find a matchmaker to help me, and I will also propose marriage to her!"
Seeing that Zhou Yan was about to jump, Yang Zhili said again without fear of death: "I'm not like you. I ask people to come to the stove to cook for you before I've even said goodbye. Why are you pretending to be an uncle?"
The Yang family is a wealthy family in the local area. Yang Hanlin's grandfather gave birth to 6 children of Yang Hanlin's father. Except for his father's branch, there are only him and his brother Yang Hanwen, and there are a lot of children in the other families.
Yang Hanwen is Yang Hanlin's biological brother, Yang Zhili is Yang Hanwen's biological grandson, and Zhou Yan's biological cousin. He said these words just to make fun of Zhou Yan.
Yang Hanlin said: "Xiao Li, don't mess with him. If he gets angry, I'll beat you up."
Yang Zhili smiled and said: "Second Grandpa, I'll have a bowl, it's so delicious."
Zhou Yan said: "It's not your fault, you can go back and don't interfere with our meal here." You still want to grab Xiaonan from him, how shameless you are!
"Zhou Yan, I didn't ask you, I asked the second grandpa and second grandma!"
"Today's meal is not enough for me, so how can you eat it? Hurry up and leave."
He pushed Yang Zhili out and closed the door tightly. Yang Zhili was so angry that he said outside the door: "Zhou Yan, I have to call a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow."
Zeng Hanzhi said: "Xiao Li, please stop nagging. I will send a bowl to your grandpa later."
Zhou Yan said: "I have to finish this pot of rice today even if I am exhausted. No one is allowed to give it to me."
Liang Xiaonan found it interesting. Many 22-year-old boys have become fathers in this era, but boys mature late. It is impossible to stand up at thirty. They have no interest in playing. What they can become after the age of 30 depends on what they look for.
Such a wife guides me.
The rice smells fragrant and tastes better. Braised rice with bacon, potatoes and Japanese beans was the most popular meal among children in the southern home cooking in the previous life.
Paired with the delicious fish soup, this meal is incredibly satisfying.
When Zhou Yan was eating his fourth bowl, Liang Xiaonan said, "Zhou Yan, don't eat so much. If you like it, I'll make it for you later." If you really hold on to it, it won't be worthwhile.
Zhou Yan rubbed his belly and said, "I'm really hungry and full. This rice is so delicious."
"It's delicious. I'll make it later." Zeng Hanzhi also felt that Zhou Yan ate too much. The bowl they had now was a big bowl. Liang Xiaonan ate half a bowl, and Zhou Yan should be full after eating three bowls.
Zhou Yan said: "You go back today, and I'll hurry up Sister Hu. It's time to pick a date. I want to say goodbye quickly, and I feel relieved."
Liang Xiaonan felt that the relationship between two people should get along slowly. If they agree with each other, it doesn't matter whether they greet each other sooner or later or even if they don't. Besides, he has already given him a bicycle!
"It's different. I gave you the bicycle for transportation, and the gift was for the engagement." Zhou Yan felt that not only should the gift be presented in a decent way, but it should also be big and good.
He couldn't let others think that she was just given to a gangster casually. She was begged by her husband's family as a peerless treasure.
Liang Xiaonan was very moved and said, "Okay, you can figure it out."
Before leaving, she said to Zhou Yan: "Since you have leveled the ground, I will start breeding potatoes immediately when I get back. Then you can find a few reliable people to help with the planting."
Potatoes will definitely become popular in the future, but now is the wrong time. Not only has she signed an exclusive sales contract with Wanghulou, but she doesn't want to take such a big step now. She can't let people who are unfamiliar with farming and cooking methods smash one.
Crop brand.
Zhou Yan said: "I have a few friends who are very good at playing, and I asked them to come and help."
When she left, Zeng Hanzhi wrapped a red paper bag with red thread, hung it on Liang Xiaonan's shoulder, and said: "Xiaonan, it's your first time to come to my house, carry it on your back, don't take it off."
This is the rule of southerners. When visiting an elder's house for the first time, the elder should give a red envelope and wrap it with silk thread. This means treating the other person as a treasure and doting on him.
Zhou Yan smiled and said: "Hang it, don't take it off."
Liang Xiaonan said to Zeng Hanzhi and Yang Hanlin: "Thank you, grandpa and grandma."
Zhou Yan sent Liang Xiaonan back to Dakeng Village and went to see Sister Hu when he came back, wanting to pay her respects quickly.
Sister Hu looked at Zhou Yan and laughed so hard that her intestines knotted. She had seen people who wanted a wife, but she had never seen Zhou Yan so impatient. He only said that the kiss would last for a few days, and then he decided in a hurry?
"You don't look at other people anymore?"
"If I don't look at it, I'll be sure it's her for the rest of my life."
"Marriage is such an important matter, we really can't rush it. Besides, girls also need to think about it carefully."
"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yan said anxiously, "You don't know, today my cousin Yang Zhili came to my house to provoke me, saying that he was going to propose marriage to Liang Xiaonan."
Sister Hu rubbed her cheek and said, "He was just joking with you. It's not like you can't tell."
"I'm just afraid that her stupid father will marry her to someone else. If these things are unclear, it will ruin her reputation."
Sister Hu thinks this is very possible. Even though marriage is free nowadays, parents and elders basically have the final say on children's marriage. Especially girls, if they have big ideas, they can be drowned in others' saliva.
"I originally thought that you are a cultural person and don't pay much attention to old rituals. I wanted you to get to know each other first, so I set the date in the solar year. Since you don't want to change it, then it will be the 19th, Tiande, Tianxi, Tianen
, it’s the best day of the month to get married.”
Zhou Yan turned his fingers and found that there were still 7 or 8 days left, and said, "Can't it be earlier?"
"No matter how long it is, there will be no good days, so you have to get things done in a hurry, right?"
Zhou Yan couldn't help it, so he stayed in Dakeng Village every day for the past 7 or 8 days, and he would kill anyone who dared to attack Liang Xiaonan.
