Cuihua thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there really was no such thing. Even the two girls in her family, the eldest girl, the eldest girl, was a spoiled brat, and the younger girl, the little girl, was spoiled, not even half as good as Li Le.
.
"What do you think of Zhang Zhiqing?"
"I offered her a dowry similar to that of Cheng Zhiqing, but she refused. She also said that her family was poor and had no dowry, so..."
Damao recalled how quickly Zhang Yuefang turned around and left, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"It's quite good."
Cuihua felt happy after hearing this. If the other party heard that there were so many dowry gifts, she would be worried if they couldn't find him. But the first thing Zhang Zhiqing thought about was whether he had such a large dowry to accompany him.
"Mom, you agreed."
"Well, I remember that I asked Cheng Qiao to buy some khaki cloth last time. I originally wanted to make a set of clothes for the little girl. You should give it to Zhang Zhiqing first and tell her what I mean."
Da Mao's eyes were so bright that Cui Hua wanted to bite him. Damn it, I forgot about my mother when I had a young lady. Now that she has not caught up with me, she is like this.
Da Mao returned to the house and changed into unpatched clothes. After thinking about it, he changed into the original tattered clothes. Zhang Zhiqing didn't have much money, so he couldn't irritate her.
Then he took the cloth and walked out of the yard, but he didn't notice at all, a small figure at the door of the woodshed, staring at the piece of cloth in his hand, shining with hatred.
The little girl turned around and returned to the house. There were four rooms in the house. Originally, she and the older girl shared a room, but now the older girl got married, so she slept in a room by herself. This was a very good situation in Xiangyang Village.
She begged her mother for a long time before her mother agreed to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy her cloth to make new clothes, but they did not have cloth tickets. The eldest sister also said that during this period, the supply and marketing cooperative had no defective cloth at all.
So I went to Cheng Qiao again. Cheng Qiao had a lot of defective cloth. Qiu Min was the middleman. When Cui Jiemin, director of the supply and marketing department of the textile factory, needed soap, he exchanged the defective cloth for soap tickets.
Cheng Qiao pretended to be in pain and took out two pieces of khaki cloth from the cabinet, which were still maroon and black. Cuihua liked it at first sight. This maroon coat and black pants are a good match.
.
The little girl also likes it so tight. She has been waiting for the weather to get warmer. When she takes off her cotton-padded jacket, she can ask her mother to make a spring dress for herself. Who knows that the big brother will take the cloth away.
Zhang Yuefang looked a little haggard during this period, and there were always two villains fighting in her heart. One of them said that she should get married. Da Mao will be a college student in the future, and the conditions must be good.
One said he couldn't get married. They are all college students. Why should you marry a college student? What if Da Mao looks down on you in the future? You can't be like Xu Laidi, who relied on everything in the beginning, but once you get married, things change.
"Zhang Zhiqing, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, my mother gave this to you."
"What, your mother."
Zhang Yuefang looked at Chen Damao, whose face had turned red because he left in such a hurry, and suddenly felt a little relieved. Since it was Damao's mother who asked him to send it, does it mean that they don't dislike her.
Looking at the dark maroon fabric, I couldn't help but feel happy. The color is nice and festive, but not as showy as bright red.
Da Mao stretched out his hand unconsciously, and when the cloth was placed in Zhang Yuefang's hand, Da Mao quickly took her hand. Zhang Yuefang was startled and wanted to retract it, but she couldn't do it anymore.
"You, you are acting like a hooligan."
"Yes, I am just being a hooligan, but I am just being a hooligan to you alone."
Zhang Damao heard Li Huan talking to Cheng Qiao like this at that time, so he naturally learned this sentence, but he was too nervous, and it was not as romantic as when Li Huan said it.
But Zhang Yuefang felt very sweet in her heart. Her family should have given up on her, so she had to live a different life to show them the consequences of giving up on herself.
Han Chunmei and others all clapped their hands and walked out. Seeing how Zhang Yuefang had been trapped in a cocoon these days, they all knew that persuasion was useless and they had no choice but to come out on their own. Now they finally got the idea.
Zhang Yuefang blushed with embarrassment and broke away from Chen Damao's hand. She didn't know where to go for a while. Chen Damao was also smart and bowed to Han Chunmei and others to thank him. In this way, the matter between him and Zhang Yuefang was basically settled.
In the Li family, Li Huan shoveled all the burned things in the house into baskets. Fortunately, there were still some materials left when the house was built, so it would not be difficult to repair it again.
The three brothers Wang Xiangyang helped Li Huan repair the fire pit, windows and wooden doors, and also replaced the bricks on the floor. Wang Xianghua and Li Le kept heating water on the stove and cooking rice.
"Cheng Qiao, how about we get a dog."
Cheng Qiao nodded, but no matter where you get a dog now, people can't get enough to eat, and dogs have become meat in everyone's eyes.
"If it doesn't work out, I'll go up the mountain and catch a little wolf when spring comes."
"That won't work. Wolves hold grudges. If you catch their babies, they will find them by smell."
Ye Jun shook his head quickly. He remembered that there were military dogs in general garrison areas. It would be safer to ask Li Bing to bring a puppy over.
Li Huan nodded repeatedly, and after cleaning up the house, he wrote to his elder brother, asking him to pay attention and bring two puppies over, so that if a stranger appears in the house, the dogs will bark.
The kang was rebuilt and had to wait two days before anyone could sleep. At night, Li Huan went to sleep with Ye Jun. Cheng Qiao hugged little Cheng Li and slept with Li's mother, Li Le. The whole night, Li Huan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and was beaten hard by Ye Jun.
’s kick.
"Uncle Ye, I don't know what's going on. I just feel uneasy when Cheng Qiao is not around."
"You idiot, if you continue to interfere with my sleeping, just roll up your bed and sleep in the living room."
Li Huan fell silent. Compared to the living room, sleeping on the big kang was of course more comfortable. Under Ye Jun's pressure, Li Huan finally fell asleep.
In a blink of an eye, Laba arrived, and the villagers who built the river channel were all back. Every villager was beaming with joy. Not only had they received work points for more than half a month of labor, but they also had enough to eat and drink.
Of course, except for Chen Chunjian, he was sent to build rivers, which was a punishment. Apart from food, he did not earn a penny, and he worked much more than ordinary people.
Since he had never built a river before, the labor intensity suddenly increased. As a result, he couldn't get enough sleep every day and couldn't finish the work. He even had to get up to work when he lay down when he was tired, but he suffered a lot.
So when Chen Chunjian returned home, he didn't even change his clothes. He lay down on the kang and fell asleep. Zhao Di was so distressed that she started scolding her. Of course, Cheng Qiao was scolded the most.
Chen Chunli frowned irritably. He already knew that impulse is the devil. If he is not completely prepared, he must not do anything again.
