Li Luer's eyes lit up and he hurriedly reached out to take it.
"What a beautiful headband, was it made by my aunt?" Li Luer asked.
"I made it, but this pattern was designed by Ban Xia. She has such a long brain and can always come up with new things." My aunt said with a smile.
Aunt Li praised from the side: "The design of Banxia is good, and your hands are also clever. If it were my clumsy hands, I might not even be able to poke out the corners. It's so beautiful!"
Li Luer generously took out the flower in his head and said, "I like it very much. Thank you, Auntie."
"Wear it if you like it, and I will do it for you in the future." My aunt also liked this girl very much, and there was a hint of intimacy in her tone.
As soon as these words came out, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. From now on we are a family, so of course we can do it for her again.
Li Luer was a smart girl, and she immediately understood what Niu meant, and blushed and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
But this was just what Niu meant. Li Luer looked back slightly worriedly at Zhang Tongsheng in the back row, not knowing what Zhang Tongsheng was thinking.
Niu noticed Li Luer's worry and turned around with a smile: "Tongsheng, don't just eat, please say something."
The eldest cousin was suddenly called by my mother, and almost choked. He coughed twice in embarrassment, blushed and said, "Very good."
After saying that, he felt a little regretful. Wouldn't this make the girl think that he was just being polite and seemed perfunctory?
He hurriedly added: "It's very good."
Everyone laughed. Aunt Li and Mr. Niu held hands and looked at each other and smiled, saying that there was no problem.
Now Zhang Tongsheng regretted it even more. Wasn't he too direct?
Li Luer's face also turned red. She didn't dare to look back at him, but she felt a little more favorable towards him in her heart.
When she arrived, she found that Zhang Tongsheng was quite embarrassed, but he still gave a very positive evaluation in public, which showed that he cared about the marriage and respected her.
At this time, the game was about to begin, and there were more spectators. Everyone also talked about Cuju-related topics.
After chatting, I discovered that Aunt Li and Li Luer knew a lot about Cuju. They would often come to watch the games in the future, and even Li Luer could play it himself.
"Sister Li will teach me if I have the chance. It's very difficult to expect my family to teach me." Luo Xiuer said to Li Luer with a smile.
From now on, the two of them will be sisters-in-law, so it would be nice if they could chat together.
"Let's make an appointment to practice together in the next two days, and we can also stretch our muscles and bones." Li Luer said enthusiastically.
"Okay!" Luo Xiuer agreed.
When the game started, everyone watched the game lively. It was not until the end of the game that Bai Banxia and his party sent Aunt Li and her daughter off before returning home.
Seeing them coming back, my grandfather hurriedly came up to them and asked, "How are they?"
Grandma smiled and nodded, "It's very good. I like it very much."
Zhang Tongsheng blushed to his neck, "Grandma, don't make fun of me all the time!"
The eldest aunt also laughed, "When you take a wife, you won't have the chance to make fun of me, so you can't waste this opportunity."
"Mom, you are my biological mother..." Zhang Tongsheng said with tears in his eyes.
Now that this matter has been settled, the Zhang family has to go to the Li family to propose marriage. It is the Zhang family's job to take care of all this. The woman cannot take the initiative, right?
After thinking about it, the family decided to find Mr. Liu as a matchmaker to help them propose marriage.
But soon my grandfather and the others began to worry. Although the Li family was not picky about their family background, they could not wrong the girl of the Li family, and the etiquette required for a marriage proposal could not be less.
There is definitely no comparison between the Zhang family and the Li family, and it is impossible to pretend to be fat, but the betrothal gift must be in accordance with the city's standards and cannot fall behind.
But what kind of consumption is there in the city? It’s not enough to ask about the Zhang family’s money.
Bai Banxia gave her father twenty taels of silver and asked him to take it to his grandfather.
"Just give it yourself, you kid has a lot of ideas." Bai Tian said with a smile.
"This is a chance for dad to show off. Go quickly. I, a junior, always give out money, and grandpa and the others are too embarrassed to accept it." Bai Banxia gently pushed his dad and urged him.
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
Bai Tian took the silver and handed it to his father-in-law. Mr. Zhang was stunned and did not accept it.
"Is this money for Banxia's marriage? No, no, no, you can't touch it!" Grandpa refused.
"Father, just keep it. Banxia and Qi Zhen still have money. We don't have to worry about getting married. Ban Xia sometimes gets a lot of rewards for treating illnesses. Qi Zhen helped the government capture fugitives before and got a silver reward.
"Bai Tian explained.
Grandpa accepted it, but repeatedly emphasized that he would return it to them.
"Don't be too hard on your child. It's good to treat people in Banxia, but you can't tire yourself. It's also dangerous for Xiao Qi to catch fugitives. Don't take risks for the reward. Safety is the most important thing.
." Grandpa explained.
"You're right, I'll tell them more later," Bai Tian assured.
This was enough money to propose a marriage. My aunt and grandma discussed the details, and Bai Banxia continued to teach her second cousin and second cousin sister-in-law how to make soap.
"The steps here are very important. You must speed up the process little by little. If you go too fast, you won't be able to produce good products. The medicinal smell will be too strong and the texture will be rough." Bai Banxia explained carefully.
The second cousin and the second cousin sister-in-law studied very seriously until the soap was put into the box. She covered it with a straw curtain and let the second cousin carry it to the backyard to put it away.
After the second cousin left, she pulled Luo Xiuer and said, "Second cousin, it costs a lot for eldest brother to propose marriage, so don't worry about it."
Luo Xiuer instantly understood what she meant. Most people would not favor one wife over another, and the bride price would not be too different. However, there was indeed a huge gap between Maple Tree Village and Xiguan City, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
The Zhang family gave the Luo family twenty taels of silver as a gift. The Luo family was kind and asked Luo Xiuer to bring ten taels of silver when they married their daughter. The Zhang family will all remember this.
Now that the Zhang family wants to propose marriage to the Li family, the betrothal gift must exceed Luo Xiuer's share. As for the dowry brought by Li Luer, the Zhang family will not touch it, so Luo Xiuer seems a little aggrieved.
"How could it be? Sister Li is a city girl and she always has to follow the rules of the city. Our family doesn't have to be so clear-cut, and I see that she is also very capable. The family will definitely get better and better in the future."
Luo Xiuer said with a smile.
She smiled sincerely, and she really had no grudges.
"When you and your second cousin start selling soap and balm, the money you make will be no less than your aunt's head money, and your family will soon be able to buy a few more acres of land." Bai Banxia said with a smile.
"If business is really good, I think we should buy a house in Xiguan City." Luo Xiuer said in a low voice.
Bai Banxia laughed and gave her a thumbs up, "Second cousin sister-in-law is very business-minded."
Luo Xiuer smiled sheepishly, "How do I know this? Didn't I learn it all from you?"
