In the Yang family's house, He is talking to the matchmaker Ma.
Compared to the last time I ignored the love, He's attitude this time was much better, with a faint taste of flattery.
No way, Yang Xuezhang hadn't taken the county exam again, and the old man had decided not to allow his children to continue studying. Although He felt that his son could be admitted to a scholar without continuing his studies in the academy, but he had no bottom in his heart.In addition, Yang Xuezhang's age can't be delayed any longer, so He's plan is to make his son a relative first.
This time, He's request was very low, and he didn't ask for anything rich or good.
Maybe it's a different mentality. The matchmaker Ma patiently told her a few things and she thought it was good.After pondering for a long time, He said that she thought that Feng Xiucai's girl was pretty good.
This girl named Feng lives in a nearby village, and her father is a scholar. There are two older brothers, one younger brother, and one older sister who is married.
It stands to reason that the girls from the Xiucai family are not in the rank of Yang Xuezhang, but the Feng family is different. Feng Xiucai was only admitted to the Xiucai family when he was nearly 30 years old.It was a joy to be admitted to Xiucai. Who knew that Feng Xiucai would have been hollowed out in his heart when he worked too hard, and he had a serious illness within a few days of being happy.
After a serious illness, his body will become dysfunctional, not to mention continuing to test his fame, and he can't even be a teacher.Is there any private school that will invite a gentleman who is sick and unable to come to class every other day?In desperation, he had no choice but to go home and practice farming.Fortunately, there are still a few acres of land in the family, and the life is pretty good, but there are many children in the family, and the life is very tight.
So Feng Xiucai has nothing to do except save some land tax for his family.But Feng Xiucai didn't think so. He felt that he was the only talent in the village, and he usually regarded himself very high. He didn't want to marry his daughter to a merchant family.Not only is it required to be a scholar, but also a lot of money is required for the betrothal gift, and the gift of all colors must be six or two six.
The gift of money has scared away many dealers, not to mention which dealer has the money to provide for a scholar these days.Therefore, Miss Feng has always been Yunying unmarried, and she is eighteen now.
Feng Xiucai asked the matchmaker Ma to say a kiss, and the marriage of this girl Feng had been kept in the hands of the matchmaker Ma and became a headache for her.
If you can get the gift money, Feng Xiucai thinks that the others are not scholars, and the scholars can't get the dowry gift.
In fact, as early as the last time He invited the matchmaker Ma, she wanted to talk about this girl Feng.But at that time, seeing He's self-esteem, he didn't open his mouth to find himself uncomfortable.
It is not a secret that Yang Xuezhang failed the entrance examination this time, and coupled with the soft attitude of the He family this time, the matchmaker Ma told the girl Feng.
Matchmaker Ma was very happy when He said that this Feng Xiucai's girl is good.However, she has been doing this business for so long, and the reason why so many people come to her as a matchmaker is that she has a good character and will not hide anything in the middle.So he talked about Feng Xiucai's family situation and requirements. He frowned as soon as he heard that the bride price was six or two or six.
But this time she begged the matchmaker Ma to tell her son a good marriage, and had better be quicker, and did not say anything harsh, but asked the matchmaker Ma to wait, she went in and discussed with the old man.
Old man Yang had been paid by the He family a long time ago, so she went in to discuss with the old man, but with Yang Xuezhang.
Regarding telling Yang Xuezhang a kiss, the He family did not hide from his precious son.Yang Xuezhang didn't say anything, but he had to listen to him when the matchmaker came to the door, and he had a good idea for reference.
He thought that it would be nothing difficult, so he arranged Yang Xuezhang in Yang Ermei's room to listen together.
He closed the door after entering and asked Yang Xuezhang's opinion.
Worthy of being a mother and son, they both thought of going together, and Yang Xuezhang also felt that Feng Xiucai's daughter was pretty good.
Maybe others don't value this shabby scholar, but after so many times he failed to pass the exam, Yang Xuezhang feels that all those who can be admitted to the scholarship are mortals, and they are very knowledgeable people.And he also made up his mind to ask his father-in-law in the future, maybe this talented father-in-law would give him some guidance, and he would be able to stand up.
As the most precious son of the He family, Yang Xuezhang still knows the He family well.After he expressed his opinion, he told the He family his plan.
He thought to himself that this idea was very good, but when he thought of marrying Feng Xiucai's daughter, it would cost six or two or six for the bride price and nothing else, and he felt distressed immediately.
At this time, the private house He held in his hand was not much, and the total amount was only 10 taels of silver.I don’t have much food at home, and I need to save money to buy food.Such a calculation is not enough.
But looking at the old son next to him who had been protecting him for so many years, the He family felt soft again.She patted Yang Xuezhang's hand to relieve him, then opened the door and walked out.
Seeing He came out, Ma matchmaker put down the sugar bowl in her hand, and asked: "I don't know what your boss's opinion is? If you really think this Feng Xiucai's girl is good, please hurry up. Others also wait and think. Married, if you can’t do it here, I’ll say to someone else’s house.”
By saying this, Ma Matchpo wanted to give He a sense of worry.In fact, the girl from Feng Xiucai's family is not so easy to get married, and it will not be delayed for more than half a year.
He didn't hesitate when he heard Ma matchmaker's words.He gritted his teeth and nodded and said, "Just this girl."
Both parties were overjoyed. He said a lot of good things to matchmaker Ma and asked her to ventilate over there so that the marriage could be settled, and then the matchmaker Ma was sent out.
Thinking of the money that didn't join hands, He, who was seldom depressed, was also depressed.If she wants to buy food and marry her older son, where should she get some money back...
*********
One day later, Yang Tiegen sent the things Lin Qingwan wanted to buy to Yang's house, went home and said to Lin Qingwan and gave her the remaining money.
Yang Tiegen didn't rush to leave after he was busy. Recently, there is very little work in the town. He always waits for a day without much work. He plans to stay at home for a day before returning to town.
The three-bedroom couple took the two Niuniu back to the second house. Lin Qingwan was too lazy to sleep on the kang, but after thinking about it, she decided to go to Yang's.
She got up from the kang, adjusted her clothes and put on a big padded jacket.After confessing to Yang Tiezhu, he went to Yang's house.
In other words, it's really cold.Lin Qingwan just felt cold when it wasn't snowing.However, Yao Shi did not look like she was afraid of the cold, which is probably the reason for getting used to it.
Entering the courtyard gate of the Yang family, Dahei wagging his tail and running around her as soon as he saw her, Lin Qingwan rubbed their heads before entering the main house.
"Auntie, I am here." Lin Qingwan said as she opened the curtain.
Yang was sitting on the kang with the soles of his shoes and said with a smile: "I heard a sound outside, but Dahei and Erhei didn't call, I guess you are here."
After finishing talking, Nu Nuzui, "Hey, Tie Gen bought everything you want. I'm afraid that the stove will be eaten by rats if it is unsafe, so I put it here."
Lin Qingwan smiled at Yang, put down a bag of things in her hand, and bent over to turn over the pig's small intestines in the basin.
The pig's small intestine in the basin is very intact, and there is no broken place.
Lin Qingwan rolled up her sleeves and was about to carry a basin to wash outside.
Before reaching up, Yang took the basin away.
"My sister-in-law, grandma, you are pregnant, don't move so big. How? I'll help you."
Lin Qingwan told Yang to wash first, so Yang took the basin and went to the yard. Lin Qingwan hurriedly followed, carrying two small stools in her hand.
Yang fetched water, and the two of them sat on a small stool to wash the pig intestines.After scrubbing, rinsed several times, soaked the pig's small intestine in a basin, and brought it back into the house.
It was so cold outside, Lin Qingwan felt unbearable, so she prepared to go inside to peel the casings.
Lin Qingwan was peeling her casings, and Yang looked around for a while and understood what was going on. In addition, Lin Qingwan deliberately taught her, and she could get started soon.
After a while, Yao also came.When I came into the room and said that I didn't see my second wife at home, I heard that my second brother came to the aunt and thought that he should do an enema, so he rushed to help.
When Yao saw that the two were busy, he moved a small stool and sat down.Lin Qingwan guided the Yao family again, and then the three of them peeled their casings while chatting.
This time Yang Tiegen bought a lot of pig small intestines. It was too early for the three people to finish. Yang left two for dinner. Lin Qingwan did not promise that there were so many people waiting at home. Yang had to let them go home. And it is agreed to come back tomorrow to continue the enema.
Back in the house, Lin Qingwan and the Yao family made a meal together, and then a large group of people in the second house ate the meal together.
The next day Lin Qingwan and the Yao family went to the Yang family's house. Yang Tiegen did not stay at home but went to the town.Not only was thinking about doing odd jobs to make money, but also remembering that Lin Qingwan asked him about his business every 5 days to ask about the freshness of the dried meat.
When I went to the Yang family's house, the three of them were busy washing and cutting meat, fearing that there were not enough kitchen knives. Lin Qingwan also wrapped the family's kitchen knife and Yang Tiezhu's usual hunting knife with cloth.
When he took it out, Yang was shocked.
Seeing Yang's astonishment and a little speechless, Lin Qingwan waved her kitchen knife playfully and said, this looks like a simple small workshop like this.I also said that if this business really has a spectrum in the future, we will start a small workshop.
Yang and Yao smiled and did not speak, but they felt that they were not very reliable, but they didn't say it for fear of hitting Lin Qingwan.
Yang and Yao used a kitchen knife to cut the meat, while Lin Qingwan took the knife to cut the meat strips into cubes.After the meat was cut, Lin Qingwan asked Yang to bring a large washed bowl, put the meat in, put the condiments and start stirring.
The condiments were brought by Lin Qingwan in advance, including salt, soy sauce, sugar, Shisanxiang, and ginger liquor.The thirteen incense was not used up last time, and it is estimated that there will be no more after this time, so Lin Qingwan went to the town last time to buy some herbs.
It took a few pots to mix all the meat, and then the sausage was cooked.
Yang looked at the time and decided to start cooking and eating.Because it was agreed that day, all the sausages would be filled today, and it was also agreed to eat at Yang’s at noon.For this reason, Lin Qingwan also specially warmed up the food for Yang Tiezhu and two Niuniu on the stove in advance as two days ago.
After the three of them had eaten, they rested for a while, and then they started to get busy again.
Because only Lin Qingwan knew how to enema, he taught Yang and Yao for a while.
But this thing is quick to get started, and Yang and Yao learned it within a few seconds, but because there is only one funnel, only one person can hold it on it, and the other two people will push down the inside of the casing. Meat, there is a helper to stuff meat inside.The three people work together, and the speed is quite fast.
But no matter how fast it was, it was getting close to dark when all the enema was hung on the beam.Lin Qingwan and Yao washed their hands and hurriedly left.
Back home, the two joined hands to make a meal.After eating some casually, Yao took his two children back to the house.
Lin Qingwan knew that Yao was tired, but she was actually tired too.I feel sore back and I can't lift my arms anymore.
