Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 391 Niu Guilan proposes marriage

Ji Wenhe patted the quilt and said, "I guess it's fake. Wouldn't the water stink after a year? Don't try it lightly."

"I haven't tried it, I just heard about it." Zhao Xiaoxi turned around and smiled, "Auntie Huang, I'm done with my housework."

"There's nothing to do at my house. I just need to sweep inside and outside the house. Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

"I came out for a walk. My feet were sore from sitting in the house. Wen He turned over the quilt. Come over and talk to her."

Huang Guihua put her hands into her sleeves and said, "It's really cold today. I wrapped my hands in silk and they are so cold that they won't obey me."

Ji Wenhe walked out of the yard: "Aunt Huang, where is Fengyao? Don't embroider when it's cold. Wait until spring when it's warmer."

"She was lying in bed. She took some back and made it herself. She didn't go to your Aunt Li's house. I just talked to her about it. She knows what's going on."

At this time, Shen Daqian came out.

The two shouted.

"Big Uncle Qian."

He nodded with a smile: "Hey, you guys chat, I'll go to the village entrance for a walk."

The men in the village came back, but none of them could stay at home. They either gathered at the foot of the mountain or at the entrance of the village.

Ji Wenhe said, "Auntie Huang, Xiaoxi, I'm going to Yuanshan's house to turn over the quilt while you two chat."

The two nodded.

Zhao Xiaoxi said, "Auntie Huang, I'm going to talk to Yujiao. Would you like to come with me?"

"I won't go, you go."

She went to the front to talk to Ma Shuangping.

Ji Wenhe came out of the yard, closed the door and walked west. After a few steps, she heard Niu Guilan calling her.

Turning back, he asked, "Aunt Niu, what's wrong?"

He ran up to her breathlessly and said with a smile, "What a happy event! Aren't Yuanshan and Wenshan from your family going to get married soon? I'll introduce a girl to your family."

"Aunt Niu, Wenshan and his family said they would wait until spring to see each other again."

"Oh, it's only a matter of time. It won't take more than two or three months. The girl is in Zhangjia Village. She's good-looking and a good worker."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "Aunt Niu, I can't make the decision on this matter. How about I go back and ask them? If they agree, I'll come to you."

Niu Guilan patted her arm gently and said, "This girl is really nice. She can endure hardships and knows how to live."

"Aunt Niu, no matter how good the girl is, he has to like her. But I'm a little curious, why did you think of arranging a marriage for our Wenshan and Yuanshan?"

She smiled and replied, "The girl's family gets along well with ours, and her mother is an honest person. The girl will be fourteen after the Chinese New Year, and I want to marry her off. I thought of Wenshan and Yuanshan from your family."

"Being close, knowing your roots well, is better than marrying far away. Trust your aunt, she won't say bad things about your brother-in-law."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask them. If they are willing, they will come to you. Don't tell anyone else for now. I'm afraid they won't want to. If you tell others all of a sudden, the whole village will know about it and they will think we dislike the girl and don't want to see her."

Niu Guilan nodded with a smile: "Okay, go back and ask, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Hey."

Ji Wenhe returned home and told Shen Wenshan about this.

"Sister-in-law, Yuanshan and I have already said that we will meet again in the spring. I don't want to meet again right now. Please help me go back."

"Okay, I'll mainly listen to your opinions. I'm going to go back to Aunt Niu."

Arriving at Niu Guilan's door: "Aunt Niu."

"Come." She came out of the house and asked impatiently, "What do you mean? If you want to see it, I'll take you there now."

Ji Wenhe said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Aunt Niu, you helped me go back to the girl's house. He said he wanted to wait until the beginning of spring, in March or April, to see her again. He doesn't want to do it right now."

"Why is this kid so stubborn? It's not worth two or three months."

"There's nothing we can do. We have to respect his wishes and not force them. Aunt Niu is so sorry for the trouble."

Niu Guilan showed a disappointed look: "Okay, I'll go and reply to them."

She had originally thought that if the marriage went through, as the matchmaker, she would get a lot of benefits, but now her wish has been dashed.

"Then Aunt Niu, I'm going home."

"Hey."

Ji Wenhe returned home and sat by the kitchen door: "It's good to be home. If you guys want to see each other, I don't know which one of you to let go."

Shen Wenshan said: "Aunt Niu will let us go together."

"No, what if you like the girl, the girl likes Yuanshan, and Yuanshan doesn't like her? Wouldn't that be a mess?"

"Although you two look exactly the same, your personalities are very different. A careful person can see it at a glance."

Shen Rongshan agreed: "Your sister-in-law is right. You two can't go together to see the marriage proposal. Talk to Lin Yue Niang and I'll take you separately."

"Brother, are you afraid that Yuanshan and I will fall in love with the same girl?"

"That's possible." Ji Wenhe took over the conversation, "You also need to tell Lin Yueniang that the girl you have met cannot be seen by Yuanshan, and vice versa."

"And we need to find someone who can tell the two of you apart. If she can't tell the two of you apart, I'm afraid it will be a joke when she marries you in the future."

Shen Wenshan asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, how can we tell them apart?"

"Well... I haven't thought about it yet..."

Shen Rongshan said: "If the girl really likes you, she will find the difference between you and Yuanshan. You two stand in front of me, wearing the same clothes and not talking, and I can still tell you two apart."

"Yes, I am just like your brother. If I observe carefully, I will find that you two are different. Don't worry, I think the girl will be able to tell them apart."

Anyway, they don't live together and never wear the same clothes, so after a while, they will naturally be able to be distinguished.

Ji Wenhe stood up and jogged in the yard.

Shen Zhong's home.

The house was dead silent, without any happy New Year atmosphere.

Qin Hehua took the clothes she needed to change and turned around to see him smoking a pipe with a long face.

"Boss, when you get to town, don't look so sullen that people won't like you."

He said nothing and took another puff of his pipe.

"Don't be unhappy. Our two sons are promising. You should be happy."

Shen Zhong said calmly: "What are the prospects of these two? If it weren't for Tianba, would they be able to find a good job in town? Without Tianba's face, which restaurant owner would be willing to hire them?"

"Boss, I don't like what you said. What's the difference between Cong'er and Lin'er? They also studied when they were young and have a lot of knowledge."

"You didn't even pass the exam to become a Tongsheng, and you still have the nerve to say that. No matter how poor the Qingyang family is, at least they passed the exam to become a Tongsheng."

Qin Hehua was choked by him, and her momentum instantly wilted: "Boss, how can you compare with the scholar's family? Look at the families in the village, how many children have been educated?"
