Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

In the living room, everyone sat down again. Zisu's mother brought another large bowl of soup from the kitchen and placed it on Yuzhen's table. "Old Master, Old Madam, I don't know what happened to the child Zisu today. She got into such a big trouble. I will teach her a lesson soon." The woman said with some trepidation.

Mrs. Chen waved her hand, "Okay, a child will inevitably make mistakes sometimes. You don't have to blame her. It's serious to go and see if she is burned. Shopkeeper Sun and his family are all gentle-tempered, and they will not follow a The little girl cares about it.”

Zi Su Niang went out with great gratitude.

Mrs. Chen looked at Yuzhen, "Miss Yuzhen, how are you? Why don't you go to the back and take a look. If something gets burned, it's no joke."

"Grandma Xu, it's really okay. I've wiped off all the soup with a handkerchief. It's still winter, so I'm wearing cotton pants and they can't be ironed." Yuzhen said with a smile.

"Okay, it's fine. Come on, let's all have a meal. This thing is a big deal. Jixian, let's drink." The old man also spoke.

Everyone quickly forgot about this incident and started chatting and laughing. Jinghan saw that when Sun Yuzhen was eating, she would only pick up the nearby dishes and not use her chopsticks to eat dishes that were a little further away. Jinghan happened to be sitting next to Yuzhen, so she quickly helped pick up some vegetables and put them on the small plate in front of Yuzhen. "I don't know which one of us is bigger. Since you're here, you're welcome. Eat more food."

Jinghan had a pretty good impression of this girl, so she became more affectionate with her.

"I was born in June. I wonder in which month my sister's birthday is?" Yuzhen quickly told her the month of her birth.

"Then you are younger than me, and my birthday is in March." If Yuzhen and Wencheng's marriage really happened, I'm afraid she would end up calling her sister-in-law, and Jinghan felt like she was at a loss.

"Then I really have to call her sister. Yuzhen only has two brothers, and she has always been looking forward to having a sister. To be honest, my sister doesn't mind, so she often goes home to play. I am very bored at home alone." Jane said softly.

"Okay, now that our relationship is better, I can't sit still all day and love to go out. I will definitely go and play with my sister some other day. If my sister is free, she might as well come here. You see, I still have Jingwan and Jingxian at home. , the four of us sisters are chatting and laughing together happily. "Jinghan feels that this girl is pretty good, and I think her second brother will also like her, so she will have to create more opportunities in the future. Otherwise, why would it feel weird if two people only meet each other a few times and then get married?

Jinghan had forgotten that in this era, most marriages were ordered by parents or by matchmakers. There are families like the Xu family that are open-minded and allow their children to choose their own marriages, but they are very few. Jinghan is very lucky to have met such a family.

Jingwan on the side also said, "Sister Yuzhen, if you are free, come over and stay with me. My second sister and younger sister are often not at home, and I am alone at home, which is very boring. If you come over , I can still have a companion.”

Yuzhen had told her parents about some situations in the Xu family before, and knew some things about Jinghan, "Is sister still so busy now?"

Jinghan smiled and said, "I am a restless person by nature. If you let me stay at home, it will really kill me, so I go to the mountains every year. But this year I guess it will be quite boring. Now, the restaurant in the county is coming up, I have to go and take a look. Besides, my eldest brother is still studying in the county. Since there is a place to live there, I don’t want him to live in the school. There must be someone there. Take care of it. It doesn't matter, I will come back often, and we will meet again when the time comes." Jinghan must go and watch before the restaurant is on track.

Yuzhen looked envious, "I really admire my sister. I have heard my father say it in the past, saying that my sister is very capable and not inferior to men. Now that I see it, it is indeed true. It would be great if Yuzhen had the ability of her sister. ”

Jinghan waved her hand, "I have nothing to envy. I have been wild since I was a child. People say that there are three boys in my family, and the third one is me. My father and mother don't know how much they worry about it. Yuzhen Sister, you should eat more vegetables. Girls should eat more meat, otherwise they will not be healthy." Jinghan said and brought some more meat to Yuzhen.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal together, and the men didn't drink too much, so the meal went well. Before the end of noon, everyone had finished eating. Ziwei and Honglian cleared the table, and Zisu also changed clothes and came to help.

When Yuzhen saw Zisu, she quickly pulled her to take a closer look. Sure enough, she didn't see anything inappropriate. She was relieved, "It's okay that it's not hurt at last. I've always kept this in mind."

Zisu quickly apologized to Yuzhen, "I made a mistake today and made the lady's skirt dirty. Please forgive me." After saying this, he knelt down.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, don't worry about it. Sister Jinghan, but we agreed that we won't punish this girl after we leave." Yuzhen said with a smile.

Jinghan nodded in agreement. "Zisu, go to work quickly. Just work hard."

Zisu quickly went to work.

After dinner, Mrs. Chen asked Wencheng and the others to sit in the study instead of being with the adults, so as not to feel uncomfortable. Shopkeeper Sun also agreed, so several young people came to the study. Jinghan arranged for Yuzhen to sit down, and then pulled Jingwan and Wenhan out, "Second brother, you have a good chat with sister Yuzhen for a while, and I'll make you a cup of tea." With that, a few people started talking. out.

In the study, Wen Cheng and Yu Zhen were sitting on the wooden couch, with a small table between them. Yuzhen lowered her head and did not dare to look at Wencheng.

Wen Cheng, who was a boy after all, was the first to speak, "I'm stupid. When I was a kid, I wasn't as good at studying as my elder brother. Later, I failed the Tongsheng test, so I stopped studying. I have been with my father, my third uncle, for these years. I studied medicine, and then went out to sell some medicinal materials. This may be the end of my life. I may not be able to give you a lot of money, but I can live a simple life with me. "

Yuzhen nodded gently, "I have heard from my father about you. In fact, I have seen you before. At that time, you went to my father's restaurant to deliver something." Yuzhen's voice sounded It's so small that if you don't listen carefully, you really can't hear it. Fortunately, there were only two people in the room, and Wen Cheng kept paying attention to Yu Zhen, so it was quite clear.

Wen Cheng grinned, "In that case, I'll ask my parents to find a matchmaker and come to your house to propose marriage, okay?"

Yuzhen's face turned red and she was too embarrassed to speak. She could only nodded slightly to express her agreement.

Jinghan and the others were not too far away. They were standing at the door of the study. It was estimated that the conversation inside was almost over, so Jinghan entered the room with two cups of tea. Jinghan was still thinking, why did she always do this kind of thing? "Second brother, Yuzhen, please have some tea."

Wen Cheng took the tea and put it on the small table, "Jinghan, you stay here with Yuzhen to talk, and I'll go to the front." With that, Wen Cheng walked out quickly.

Waiting for Wen Cheng to go out, Jing Wan also came in. After all, Jingxian is young and her family does not allow her to interfere in these matters, so she is still with Zhu at the moment.

Jinghan and Jingwan both sat next to Yuzhen. Jinghan said with a smile, "I just asked you to call me sister a few times, and then you will become my sister-in-law. Oops, why do I feel so disadvantaged? ?”

Yuzhen's face turned even redder, "You're talking nonsense, what kind of sister-in-law is not a sister-in-law? There's no trace of it yet." Maybe it was because of the girl, but Yuzhen was more relaxed than before, The sound was louder.

"How can it be that there is no trace? My second brother must have told my parents in the past, and then the two families are not allowed to choose a date to get engaged to you? Sister Yuzhen, you will soon become our sister-in-law. From now on, I But I have company." Jingwan said, holding Yuzhen's hand.

"Humph, you are so beautiful. You are also sixteen this year, and our grandma has already made arrangements to marry you. I'm afraid you have not waited for your sister-in-law to marry in, so you have to get married first. Then you will go to someone else's house to keep others company. Go ahead." Girls can't be so honest together, Jinghan teased Jingwan.

Jingwan's face also turned red, "Second sister, you don't need to tell me, you are getting engaged soon. Maybe one day the two families agree on the date, you will have to get married. Don't worry, I guarantee you got married earlier than me, huh." Jingwan was not a good person, so she choked back.

The three girls were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. They are all sixteen years old, at the age of a flower. Which girl doesn’t have visions for the future?

Wen Cheng came to the front and told Zhiming and Zhu what Yuzhen meant. Zhiming and Zhu also had a good impression of Yuzhen. When they heard this, they were all very happy. "Brother Sun, it seems that we are really going to get married. In this way, Jinghan will get engaged on the sixth day of February. We can't get married in this month anymore, so we might as well put it in March. In these days I found a matchmaker and went to my brother's house to propose marriage," Zhiming said with a beaming face.

"Okay, since these two little ones like each other, my heart is set in my stomach. You can just take care of the matter of proposing marriage. Anyway, Yuzhen is only sixteen years old, so there is no rush. We still want to do it again. I'll keep it for a year or two." Shopkeeper Sun finally felt relieved.

"My brother has a good idea, but I am also in a hurry to hold my grandson. My father is already in a hurry to hold his great-grandson. How long can I let you keep Yuzhen?" Zhiming laughed.

Now that the two parties have agreed on the marriage, the Sun family will say goodbye and go home. Mrs. Chen sends Jingxian to the back to call Jinghan and the other three, and then the Sun family will leave.

Zhu took out a golden hairpin and inserted it into Yuzhen's head, which meant that the marriage was done.
