??Chapter 53 Engagement (1)
??The 7 or 8 days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day when Liang Xiaonan and Zhou Yan got married was coming.
??Early on the 19th, the fish pond was handed over to Erniu to take care of it. Liang Xiaonan, Liang Xiaobei, and Grandma Liang didn’t work in the fields.
?? Xiao Tiezhu, Zhao Shi and Xiao Hongyu all came to help. Xiao Tiezhu brought chairs and stools from outside, and Grandma Liang wiped them clean. Mrs. Zhao washed the dishes, and Xiao Hongyu cooked poached eggs with brown sugar. The mother and daughter discussed with Grandma Liang how many people would come and calculated how many eggs to prepare.
?? Although the elder girl and daughter-in-law of the village had no face to come in, they were all extremely curious, whispering in the street outside, more excited than their engagement.
??Liang Xiaobei was a child after all. He was so excited that he couldn't sit still. He ran to the village to look around several times. Someone saw it and smiled and said, "Xiaobei, what is your sister doing?"
??Liang Xiaobei saw the gossip on his face, and waved his hand at him. When he got closer, Liang Xiaobei said seriously: "Guess!"
I guess? The man was dumbfounded, watched Liang Xiaobei walk away, and said bitterly: "What's so great, isn't he just a bastard!"
??Liang Xiaobei didn't hear it, if he heard it, he would reply "Why are you so upset, my brother-in-law is better than you", but he is in a good mood today, even if he hears it, he doesn't care about others.
??Yesterday, he went to Xiaoyun Town, bought cigarettes and had his hair cut. When it was getting dark, a bicycle came from a distance and went straight to his fish pond.
??His sharp eyes saw Zhou Yan, and immediately greeted him: "Brother Zhou, why are you here?"
?? Zhou Yan was sweating profusely while riding a bicycle, and gave him a large basket of things and said, "These are some things for entertainment, you take them home, in case you need them tomorrow."
??Liang Xiaobei said: "Why don't you go home?"
?? "Don't mention it. Sister Hu didn't ask me to see your sister at all. She said that you are not allowed to meet before the ceremony. But it suffocated me to death. Fortunately, I can see people tomorrow."
??Liang Xiaobei sneered and laughed, and said, "That night when the rooster crows, you get up."
?? "Where is the time to get up again when the rooster crows?" Zhou Yan also said with a smile, "I will dress up now when I go back, lie down with my clothes on, and get out of bed as soon as the rooster crows the first time!"
??The two laughed loudly.
?? Today is Liang Xiaonan's engagement, Grandma Liang doesn't ask her to go out, and stays at home honestly, waiting for Zhou Yan to come.
??I haven't seen Zhou Yan these days, she misses him a little bit, and is too embarrassed to go to him, for fear of being ridiculed. I keep myself busy every day, and when I have free time, I get into the main hall of the space to germinate potatoes, and the spores germinate under the nourishment of the spirit spring liquid.
??A few days ago, I took the bred potatoes to Nanfeng Town, cut them into pieces, soaked them in a bucket of spiritual spring liquid, and then rolled them with plant ash.
??Zhou Yan called his friends, Ergouzi, Wang Xi, and Eight-year-old Mao, and asked them if they would help grow potatoes. If they were willing, they would give 1 yuan a day.
Where would they be unwilling? Zhou Yan told them that the potatoes are planted, and I will find a few of them for delivery in the future. No matter what method is used, I will send 100 catties of goods for 1 yuan, and I can deliver 3 times a day. You can earn 3 yuan a day, which is better than the county cadres.
?? This job is clearly taken care of by Zhou Yan. The farmers have plenty of strength, but they don’t have any skills in pulling carts. Anyone can earn this money!
??Er Gouzi, Wang Xi, and Eight-year-old Mao were all very active. Liang Xiaonan also called the Xiao family to come, so those who dug holes dug holes, those who threw potatoes threw potatoes, and then buried the soil after throwing away.
??After that, water a little bit and wait for the potatoes to grow. Because there are enough people, 2 mu of potatoes can be planted in one day.
?? Except for showing his face at the beginning, Zhou Yan didn’t see anyone for several days afterwards. Xiao Hongyu asked strangely, “Why isn’t Zhou Yan here?”
??Liang Xiaonan said he had something to do, but she didn't ask what was the matter even if he didn't say it.
?? Having been in contact with Zhou Yan for so many days, she felt that although Zhou Yan sometimes behaved childishly, he was definitely not a gangster. He was very smart and had no problem with his character.
??I am willing to be with him in this life.
??The key point is that this person is good-looking, and it is pleasing to the eye. Women are all face-controlling, and she is no exception.
??…
??9:30 am. At the entrance of the village, Liang Xiaobei finally saw a group of people marching towards Dakeng Village. He saw the one at the head, it was Sister Hu.
?? hurriedly ran into the house excitedly, and said loudly: "Grandma, sister, they are here."
??Grandma Liang told Liang Xiaonan not to go out. Everyone from the Yang family has come, and there are too many people watching the fun outside, so she should be more reserved.
?? Well, Mr. Liang in the 21st century is facing this kind of thing for the first time, and it is a major marriage event in his life. She wants to hide and not show his face?
??She hid in the house and looked out through the window. She was also very curious, how did Zhou Yan show courtesy? what is he like today
??In the past two days, she asked Grandma Liang how other people's families celebrated, and Xiao Hongyu also asked Mrs. Zhao.
??Now here is the ceremony, that is, the man and the matchmaker come to the woman's house together, give a piece of pork, give a piece of fish, and pull a piece of floral cloth, and the marriage is settled. Wealthy families, or the man who is particularly satisfied with the woman, will give 6 yuan for auspiciousness.
??The two sisters gathered together and made a total, and all the gifts and gift money for the gift were less than 8 yuan, which was considered relatively good.
Although a considerable number of people in Dakeng Village have seen Zhou Yan, it does not prevent them from being curious about this gift at all. They are a little bit happy, and maybe they can get a cigarette and a few wedding candies by the way. No one wants such a good opportunity. Leaked.
?? They all stopped working in the fields, and stood at the head of the village and on the street to watch the excitement. Liang Jinbao yelled a few times, and everyone said what to do if you go to work later!
Grandma Liang looked very excited when she saw the people crowding around outside, and said: "Daughter of the old Qin's family in Dongtou, when the new son-in-law came for the first time during the ceremony, the whole village gathered around and talked about it. I was so frightened that I couldn’t even walk anymore, walking like a wooden man with the same hands and feet.”
??Liang Xiaonan burst out laughing when he heard it, Zhou Yan would definitely not go along with it!
??Bicycle bells rang, and the first person to enter the village was Sister Hu. She greeted people in Dakeng Village and said auspicious words along the way.
??Sister Hu hoped that Zhou Yan would give cigarettes to the old and young men in the village, but Zhou Yan refused, saying that the men in this village are not men and are not worthy of smoking his good cigarettes.
??Sister Hu said: "They are indeed not worthy, but if you smoke a good cigarette, you will win Xiaonan's face and let people know that her husband-in-law is very capable."
?? Zhou Yan started to smoke for everyone.
?? Apart from Yang Hanlin and Zeng Hanzhi, dozens of elders and juniors from the old Yang family came together.
The faces of people in Dakeng Village are all bright yellow. There are so many people from the Yang family, it is clear that they are intimidating Dakeng Village. Although Zhou Yan lives in his grandmother's house, the old Yang family attaches great importance to this grandson. Regarding the matter of the Yang family, anyone who wants to have trouble with Zhou Yan will have trouble with the old Yang family.
??In addition to looking at Zhou Yan, everyone is more curious about what gifts he can give.
?? Looking at it, the eyeballs are really going to fly out!
