Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Jinghan followed her mother to find Mrs. Chen. When Mrs. Chen heard that she wanted to make clothes for the girls, she quickly opened the box and found some good materials. "I think this rose red one is pretty good, festive, and has a lot of fabric. I'll make one for each of them. Then I'll make two sets of other colors for the two girls. What do you think?" Ms. Chen asked while holding the fabric. road.

"Okay, these colors are pretty good, then I'll give them to them and make them quickly." Ms. Xue went to the back holding the fabric.

"Little girl, is this your idea?" Chen asked Jinghan with a smile.

"Well, I was thinking that this is the first big event for the younger generation in our family, so I don't want to make it too shabby, but a few pieces of fabric will give us some face." Jinghan said with a smile.

"You are a very thoughtful person. I don't know how long our family has accumulated virtues to have a smart girl like you. Jinghan, your eldest sister is getting married soon, what about you? Isn't that right? You have to think about it, right? Our family doesn't care about the marriage, as long as you are the one chosen. After the New Year, grandma will find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for you." Ms. Chen asked tentatively.

Jinghan was stunned for a moment, her own marriage? Yes, I am also fifteen, and my eldest sister got married at seventeen because Pengcheng was delayed in observing filial piety. Logically speaking, it is only right for a girl to get married at sixteen. In other words, is she really the age to get married? Have you never thought about this problem before? "Grandma, can it be a little later? I haven't thought about this at all."

"Grandma told you this, didn't she just want you to think about it? Actually, grandma has taken a fancy to someone, but she just doesn't know what you think? Jinghan, what do you think of Zixuan?" Mrs. Chen I decided to talk about it, otherwise, this girl Jinghan might not think about it in her whole life.

Brother Zixuan? Jinghan was stunned, why would grandma say brother Zixuan? "Grandma, what did the Lin family say?" Jinghan was confused.

"No, the Lin family didn't say anything. Grandma just thinks that Zixuan and you grew up together, and you get along very well. This is better than those people who just met and got married after just a few meetings. Besides, young man Zixuan is also good-looking. Yes, now that he is a scholar, he can open a wine shop at home, and he will definitely not be a bad person in the future. If we don't hurry up, we are afraid of being snatched away by others, aren't we? Jinghan was enlightened, "If you think it's okay, grandma will come forward and find a matchmaker. Our family doesn't care about that, as long as you live well."

Jinghan's mind was a little confused and she didn't know what to say. She would naturally be unwilling to talk about marriage like this. However, the thought that Zixuan might marry another woman in the future made her feel unhappy. "Grandma, can you put this aside for a while until my eldest sister's wedding is completed?"

Just as Chen was about to say something more, a few people opened the door and came in, interrupting what Chen wanted to say.

"Grandma, it's us who are back." The people who came in were Wen Han and Zixuan. "Pengcheng will come over to deliver the betrothal gifts the day after tomorrow, so we asked for leave together." Wen Han came to the Kang and talked to Mrs. Chen.

"Okay, I'm still thinking, why don't you come back? You are Jingya's brother, and you have to come forward for her marriage. Zixuan, come here, come to grandma's place. We have dinner at home today at noon. We have eaten. If you go back to the village, grandma hasn't seen you for a while, and she's worried." Mrs. Chen waved and called Zixuan to her side, looking at Zixuan lovingly.

"Okay, then I'll have lunch at grandma's place." Zixuan didn't have to ask for leave, and it wasn't his sister who was getting married. But he was thinking about Jinghan, so he happened to come back with her. Fortunately, the county school is not very strict, and many people only go there a few days a month. Zixuan and the others feel that the teachers in the county school teach well, so they stay there all the time. Zixuan looked back at Jinghan and found that Jinghan did not look up at him. Zixuan was a little puzzled, "Jinghan, I'm here and you don't say hello?"

Jinghan was just talking to her grandma about Zixuan, but she didn't expect someone to arrive right in front of her. She really didn't get used to it, so she felt a little awkward. "Brother Zixuan, please sit here for now. I'll go to the kitchen and cook you something delicious for lunch." Jinghan felt her face was a little hot and hurried out of the room.

Zixuan saw the red cloud on Jinghan's face and felt a little confused. Before he could say anything to Jinghan, Jinghan ran out. Looking at Jinghan's back, Zixuan was a little stunned. "What happened to this girl today?"

Wenhan looked at it and smiled. "Grandma, didn't you say something just now?" Wenhan glanced specifically at Zixuan.

Of course Mrs. Chen understood what her grandson meant, and said with a smile, "No, I just told Jinghan that she is not young anymore. After Jingya's marriage is completed, it is time to arrange for Luo Jinghan's marriage. Maybe this girl couldn't get rid of it, so she ran away." There was something about Zixuan in Chen's words.

Sure enough, when Zixuan heard this, he immediately felt jealous. I can't wait to go home quickly and find my father to propose marriage. Suddenly, he looked up and saw his friend looking at him with a wicked smile on his face, and then he realized that it turned out that his grandfather and grandson were nodding at him. "Grandma, that, that," Zixuan's face turned red and he didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Chen smiled, "Zixuan, if you are really serious, just wait until Jingya gets married, and then ask your parents to come over." Ms. Chen made it clear, and she was really optimistic about it. Zixuan didn't want Jinghan to miss such a good marriage.

When Zixuan heard this, he nodded quickly. "Hey, I understand, grandma." At this moment, Zixuan's heart was filled with beauty.

Seeing Zixuan's performance, Chen felt slightly more at ease. Among the girls in the family, Mrs. Chen loves Jinghan the most. If Jinghan can really get married to Zixuan, it will definitely be a good match. If Jinghan has found a place, then Jingwan should be next, right? I don’t know where Jingwan’s marriage is? Mrs. Chen felt that this was her fate, and she would spend her whole life worrying about her children. When she got old, she would worry about her grandchildren. "Wenhan, go see your mother. Wenxuan and the others should be back soon. Zixuan and Ziwen haven't seen each other for a while, right? Let's go to your room together and have someone call you when dinner is served."

Wenhan and Zixuan went out as they were told, and the old lady was leaning on a big pillow, staring in confusion. People are like this when they get older. They sleep less at night, wake up at the slightest movement, and doze off at any time during the day.

During lunch, Jinghan stopped talking and just lowered her head to eat. Jingya felt strange, what was going on? He glanced at the table next to him and found Zixuan looking at Jinghan. Jingya smiled secretly in her heart, maybe Jinghan understood Zixuan's thoughts, right? "Jinghan, don't just eat, you also have to pick up some vegetables?" Jingya picked up some vegetables for Jinghan and put them in a bowl.

Jinghan said thank you without raising her head, and then continued to lower her head and fight with the rice in the bowl.

Jingya found it funny when she saw it. She didn't expect that her sister, who was usually such a straightforward person, would be like this now. It seems like it's really hard to say when it comes to feelings, and it doesn't necessarily determine what a person will be like.

After lunch, Zixuan was about to go back to the village. Mrs. Chen brought some things back to Wenhan, saying they were for the old man and the old lady of the Lin family. Zixuan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept.

"Wen Han, you drive the bullock cart to send Zixuan back. You just happen to go to your uncle's house and tell them to come over the day after tomorrow." The old man said.

So Wenhan drove the bullock cart and sent Zixuan away.

September 26th is the day when the Yue family sends betrothal gifts. Early in the morning, the Xu family got busy, tidying up everything inside and outside the house. Mrs. Zhu took Honglian out to buy a lot of vegetables and came back to prepare for the noon banquet.

Jingya couldn't show up today and could only stay in her room. Jinghan and Jingwan stayed with her, and the sisters were chatting in the room.

Mingyu and Wenxuan Wencheng were walking around in the front yard and back yard, "Come here, come here, eldest sister, the person who sent the bride price from the Yue family is here." Wen Xuan and the others trotted all the way to deliver a message to Jingya.

Jingya was dressed in new clothes, sitting on the kang, with joy between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Sister, let's go and see for you how many gifts the Yue family has sent." Wen Xuan and others were uncharacteristically jumping around today. Before they could finish speaking, they didn't know where they were.

Jingya shook her head, "Look at the press release, what's going on today? Are you so happy?"

"Can you be unhappy? You are the first one in our family to get married, so we are all happy. If I didn't have to stay here with you, I would have gone to the front to have a look." Jinghan said with a smile. . "Eldest sister, you are about to get married. Brother Pengcheng is a good person. He should not bully you. If he dares to bully eldest sister, eldest sister can just tell me. Humph, let's see how I deal with him." Jinghan His little nose wrinkled, which was indescribably cute.

Jingya stretched out her hand and pinched Jinghan's cheek, "How old are you? Our grandma is about to start telling you to kiss you, why are you still acting like a child? Don't worry, the eldest sister is not easy to bully, and neither is Pengcheng. You will bully me. When my sister gets married, you will have to take over the affairs of the house, help my mother manage the house, and then choose a good marriage, so my sister will feel relieved."

Jinghan came to the eldest sister's side and said, "Eldest sister, I don't want you to get married."

Jingwan and Jingxian, who were next to them, also came over, and the four sisters leaned together, "How can there be a daughter in the family who is not married? We have to take this path after all. You are all getting older, and you will all get married in the future. As long as we The sisters miss each other, so what if we are far apart? We are all daughters of the Xu family, right? There will always be a chance to get together." Jingya comforted her sisters in a low voice.
