Man Bao watched the matchmaker and the Yao family go away, then turned and ran back to the main house to find her mother, "Mom, will she be my fourth sister-in-law from now on?"
Zhou Lang, who also returned to the house, also pricked up his ears to listen.
Qian raised his head and glanced at Lao Si's expression, then asked her, "Do you like her?"
Man Bao scratched his head and said, "It's not me who wants to marry a wife. Do you have to like her only if I like her?"
Qian nodded, looked at Zhou Lang and asked, "What about you, do you like it?"
Zhou Lang blushed and said, "I listen to my mother."
Qian thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this marriage won't work out."
The redness on Zhou Lang's face faded. He raised his head and looked at his mother, almost crying. He pursed his lips and asked, "Does their family dislike me?"
Madam Fang asked about gambling just now.
"No," Ms. Qian didn't want to explain too much, but seeing Zhou Lang's bad expression, she knew that he had misunderstood, so she explained, "I think you guys are not suitable."
She said: "That child is so obedient."
Zhou Lang blinked and asked, "Isn't it good to be obedient?"
Mrs. Qian glanced at him and said, "I'm looking for a daughter-in-law, not a servant. Why do I have to be obedient? You have a weak temper and are irresponsible. You need to find someone with ideas to control you. This little girl is too
She is shy and listens to her mother too much. I am afraid she will also listen to you after entering the house, so you are not suitable."
Zhou Lang suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and he stammered: "Yes, but I think it's good to be obedient..."
Under Qian's gaze, Zhou Lang's voice became lower and lower, and finally was almost inaudible, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Is there any other choice if I don't listen to him?
Zhoulang felt that his work today was in vain, so he went back to the house to change out of Wulang's clothes, "It's so difficult to get a wife."
Man Bao found it very interesting, "Fourth brother, you must call me on your next blind date."
Zhou Lang was a little discouraged and said: "It's like being picked on the meat on the chopping board. It's not fun at all."
He was quite looking forward to it before the people came. After all, he was marrying a wife, and he was excited just thinking about it. But today, after being looked at by Mr. Fang's sharp eyes, and then asked various questions, he was already a little tired of it.
"It's not like they don't know about my situation, why do they have to ask me again in front of me?"
"Let's see if you are a good person," Man Bao still felt a little regretful, "Actually, Sister Yao is really pretty."
Knowing that this marriage could not take place, Zhou Lang's face finally stopped blushing, and he said objectively: "That's it."
Over the past year or so, he has been to the county town many times, and he has met more people selling things. Of course he has seen a lot of pretty girls, some of whom are prettier than Miss Yao.
Since they were not destined, there was no need to appreciate this kind of beauty, so he quickly forgot about her and began to encourage Man Bao, "Man Bao, today is the winter solstice. Can't we stew some mutton at home?"
Man Bao swallowed and said, "Mom said we will kill chickens today."
"The noodles made by the eldest sister are delicious. You can use mutton as a topping, hide them in small pieces, cook them with the sauce, and then pour them on..."
Manbao drooled sharply, jumped off their bed and ran to the main room. She took her money box from Keke, struggled with the remaining twenty-three cents in it, and finally settled on all the money.
He took it out, ran to give it to Zhou Lang, and said: "Fourth brother, you go and buy it now. I will ask my eldest sister to make noodles. We will have noodles for lunch."
Zhou Lang took the money with a smile, dug into his wallet, took out seven cents and put it in, "Fourth brother has little money, so I can only add seven cents to it. Just wait, I will buy meat right away."
.”
Zhou Lang's money was all taken from the five cents given to him by Qian every day when he went to the county town to sell things. He saved one or two cents every day, and now his savings are a little more than Manbao's, but he
I won't tell Man Bao.
Zhou Lang called Lao Wu and Lao Liu together, and the three of them ran in the direction of Dalicun. The gathering was in Dalicun, and they would definitely be able to buy mutton there.
Man Bao ran to Zhou Xi to make noodles. When Qian asked, he knew it was Zhou Xi's idea.
She couldn't help but said to Zhou Xi: "That's it, do I dare to marry him a little wife like that?"
Zhou Xi couldn't help but feel happy. While saying to Man Bao, "We'll do it later," he said, "This guy is too careless. I'm proposing to him, but he's only thinking about food."
Qian sighed, "If he hadn't been older, it would have been harder to find a wife if he stayed. I really wanted to wait two years before marrying him. His three brothers could support half of the family by the age of fifteen or sixteen.
You are already sensible, and Lao Wu seems to be very successful, so why are you so worried when you get here?"
Here, the Zhou family feels that the Yao family is not suitable, and over there, the Zhou Dahong family and the Fang family also feel that the two families are not suitable.
After coming out of Zhou's house, they did not leave the village immediately, but returned to Zhou Dahong's house. Fang first dealt with the matchmaker, and then asked about her daughter's meeting with Zhou Lang, mainly what they were doing outside.
, what words were said.
Yao saw that this sibling was not very satisfied with Zhou Lang, so she said: "The Zhou Jin family is a cheerful person. If you don't want to, just tell the matchmaker directly. Of course, you have to like each other to see each other.
My daughter is not very old either, so just take your time and explore her."
Ms. Fang hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to the matchmaker later and let her look for it again."
Yao couldn't help but be curious, "What do you think about Thursday? I think what his mother said is right. He has changed his mind this year. In fact, the kid only gambled once."
"I know, he's okay, but his house..." Fang glanced at her daughter sitting next to her with her head bowed, and whispered: "There are too many people."
Yao was surprised, "It's not good to have too many people. With a prosperous population, who in the village dares to bully them?"
"That's outside, what if it's inside?" Mrs. Fang said: "If nothing else, there are six brothers in their family, and there will be six sisters-in-law in the future. I am a shy girl, and I won't be able to show my face when I get married.
, I don’t know how to be bullied.”
Yao laughed and said, "If this were any other messy house, it would be reasonable for you to worry like this, but there is no need to worry in Lao Zhou's house. Don't look at my sister-in-law who is very sick now. She is the head of their house.
, and she has always been fair, as you can tell by watching her take care of her first three daughters-in-law, the family will not suffer any disadvantages if the niece marries her."
Yao said: "As for the future, if my sister-in-law... then the Zhou family will definitely be separated. After all, the six brothers will not be in charge of their own affairs since their parents are gone.
Call the shots?"
"This is one of the reasons why I don't want to," Fang said in a low voice: "Looking at her body, she needs to take medicine every day. There is a patient in this family, how much does it cost?"
