There are three days of holiday during the Winter Solstice, and this day is the last day.
Manbao found his best set of clothes, put them on, and happily took his mother's hand to Dali Village.
Qian rarely left the village after her poor health, but walking is not difficult, as long as she takes her time and doesn't walk so fast.
The matchmaker had already greeted the Fang family. She was waiting at the entrance of Dali Village. When she saw the Zhou family, mother and son, she went up to greet her. She smiled with Qian and said, "The little lady of the Fang family will be at the meat stall today. When the lady arrives,
Take a look and let the Fang family take a look at Shiro."
Qian agreed.
This time we still found enough excuses for the blind date, and only when both parties are satisfied will the relationship be official.
This time, because we met outside, Zhou Lang did not have the courage to be more elegant and not warm, so he wore his own clothes.
However, he washed his hair and washed his face carefully early in the morning. He felt refreshed and saw that it looked like what was going on.
Not to mention Man Bao, even Mrs. Qian couldn't help but look at her son a few more times.
She gave birth to six sons, among whom the fourth and sixth were the eldest.
However, the Zhou family are all good-looking. Didn't she just fall in love with Zhou Jin's face back then?
Ahem, Qian's face turned slightly red, and he led his son and daughter to the meat stall.
There were also many people at the Fang family's meat stall today. Not only was Butcher Fang, but also his wife Cheng, his eldest son Fang Dalang, and even more so Mrs. Fang, the real owner.
So people who come to buy meat are surprised, "Lao Fang, why are so many people coming to your house today?"
Butcher Fang coughed uncomfortably and said, "Isn't this a festival? There are many people coming to buy meat, let them help."
Is it much?
It’s just a little more than usual, so there won’t be so many people coming, right?
But before he had time to ask, Butcher Fang suddenly slammed the boning knife into the wooden board, which startled him.
It was not only him who was frightened, but also Zhou Lang who came up to buy meat after taking the money.
He was frightened by Butcher Fang, and then stepped forward bravely under his bright eyes, "I, I will buy two kilograms of meat."
Butcher Fang looked him up and down, left and right, then pulled out his boning knife and asked, "Which piece of meat should I buy?"
Zhoulang stared at the knife, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Let's buy tendon meat."
Qian held Man Bao's hand and stood aside, looking at it with a smile.
Butcher Fang slowly cut the meat and asked, "Which village are you from? Why do you look so familiar to me?"
Before Zhou Lang could say anything, the person waiting to buy meat laughed and said: "Lao Fang, what kind of memory do you have? This is Zhou Lang in Qili Village. He is a frequent visitor to your meat stall and comes here every now and then."
When you buy meat, you can’t even remember it.”
Butcher Fang:......
Thursday Lang:......
The blushing Lady Fang stepped forward, grabbed the knife from her father's hand, and said, "Dad, let me cut it."
She quickly cut off the flesh of the person next to her. After collecting the money, when it was Zhou Lang's turn, she hesitated and did not cut out the flesh immediately.
Mrs. Qian then took Man Bao's hand and walked forward to talk to her, "Young lady is really capable. Is she often a stall keeper for the family?"
Finally, Ms. Cheng had a place to use her skills. She immediately pushed her husband aside and went up to talk to Mr. Qian, "No, my family is small. I only have one son and two daughters. Her eldest sister has been married a long time ago.
When things get too busy, she comes out to help."
Mrs. Cheng smiled and said: "I was angry with her father before. A good girl asked her to come to the meat stall. If word spreads, her reputation will be harmed. Who is willing to marry her?"
Mr. Qian laughed and said: "How come no one says goodbye to a girl who knows how much she cares about her family? Isn't she just watching a stall? It's the same as when we go to the fields..."
"Isn't it? I figured it out later. My daughter has no other good qualities except that she is very good at work..." Mrs. Cheng praised her daughter again, and then looked at Zhou Lang, "Sister-in-law, this is
Your son, he is really handsome."
Otherwise, her daughter would not have fallen in love with him and insisted on talking about him.
Qian said with a smile: "Yes, this is the fourth boy in my family. He only has a good face. There are many sons in my family, so it is more difficult. Fortunately, he is not lazy, otherwise I would be worried to death...
"
The topic just opened up.
Man Bao was short, only as high as the chopping board of the meat stall. Standing next to Qian, only a small head was exposed, so she watched the two mothers talking back and forth.
Mrs. Cheng: My family has a small number of children, so even though my youngest daughter is just a girl, our family is in pain.
Qian: My family has no other strong points, except that we have many children, and none of them are bad. The fourth child is not particularly outstanding, but he is not bad either.
Mrs. Cheng: My daughter can work in the hall and in the kitchen. She can also sell meat, run a stall and farm.
Qian: My fourth child can farm, fish, and do business. He has a sweet mouth and can endure hardships and stand hard work.
Mrs. Cheng: My daughter is obedient.
Qian: My son is filial and polite.
Mrs. Cheng: My daughter is not pretty.
Qian: My son is handsome.
The two mothers came back and forth, Manbao's little head turning around. Zhou Lang watched from the side, fearing that she would turn her head away. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and reached out his hand to hold her head down.
, not letting her turn around.
Mrs. Fang kept blushing while listening, and she kept secretly watching Zhou Lang. She noticed it as soon as Zhou Lang stretched out his hand.
She looked down and saw Man Bao.
She blinked and asked: "This is..."
Zhou Lang immediately took his hand back and whispered: "This is my sister."
Man Bao stood on tiptoes to make himself look taller: "...Sister, my name is Man Bao."
Miss Fang smiled at her, "Hello Manbao, you are so cute."
It's so cute that you didn't notice me right away.
However, Manbao was a polite and good boy, so he praised back: "Sister, you are also very beautiful. Fourth brother, don't you think so?"
Mrs. Fang looked at Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang blushed and nodded under the gaze of the two girls.
Naturally, the movement here cannot be hidden from the Cheng family and Qian family on the side.
The exchange between the two came to an end for the time being. Ms. Cheng felt that her daughter was too impatient and she should be more reserved even if she fell in love with him.
Mr. Qian also hates his son a little bit. He is a big man after all. Why are you blushing? Your sister has opened the topic to you. At this time, you should praise him more.
But they couldn't talk any more, because they had been standing here for too long, and someone had noticed and came over.
Mrs. Qian paid for the meat, and Mrs. Cheng simply took the knife from her daughter's hand and cut the meat for them. After receiving the money and goods, the two mothers looked at each other, smiled slightly, and then went about their business.
Qian took the two children home.
Zhou Lang scratched his head and wanted to ask, but he couldn't open his mouth and could only look at Man Bao repeatedly.
Man Bao still remembered the grudge he had for pressing her head, so she pretended not to have seen it.
Qian decided to go back home and talk to the fourth child in detail, so she glanced at him and said, "You are an adult now, why are you still so impatient? Let's talk about it when we get home."
As soon as he got home, Lao Zhoutou yelled at Zhou Lang, "Kneel down!"
Zhou Lang was startled, and jumped up to retort, but when he looked up, he saw Wu Lang and Zhou Lang kneeling in the yard. There was a thunderbolt, he seemed to have thought of something, and his legs that he stepped out did not dare to run, bang.
