Chapter 405 Shen Yuanshan's Marriage Search
Miao Zhaodi replied: "Maybe they have a big wedding, so they slaughtered a pig and invited the villagers to a meal. Otherwise, they would not sell the pigs they raised with great effort, but slaughtered them and invited the villagers to a meal for free. How could it be so cheap? I think you heard it wrong."
"By the way, Wen He, at the end of the month, please buy some vegetable seeds from your family and bring them back to me. I'll give you the money and I won't go to town anymore."
"Okay, tell me what you want to buy. My family wants to plant more vegetables, beans, peanuts, and a little of everything this year."
"Green vegetables are prone to attracting small insects. The leaves are densely gnawed by insects, and the small holes are as big as pinholes."
"Then people should eat them before they are eaten by insects. I haven't eaten vegetables for a long time. I want to plant some. If it doesn't work, I won't plant them tomorrow."
"That's fine, you can do it yourself."
She nodded and added more firewood to the pot.
Five days had passed since Lin Yue Niang came to their house, and she had not come to their house yet.
Ji Wenhe stood by the river looking at the village entrance, while Shen Rongshan was washing clothes nearby.
"Why hasn't Lin Yue Niang come yet? Our requirements are not high, so it should be easy to find her. It's been five days."
"Wen He, don't worry, I think it will be here in two days."
"How can I not be anxious? Marriage is a big deal for two people, it's a matter of a lifetime, so we have to be very careful and cautious."
Crouching beside him, he asked, "When we go to see the girl, should we go with her? Can we go with her?"
"If you want to go with me, you need the presence of the elders. If you like her, we can discuss the betrothal gift."
"Then will you go or not?"
"I won't go. You go with Wenshan and the others. If I go, they'll scare people and think that our family isn't a good family."
Ji Wenhe laughed and raised his hand to touch the scar on his face: "Your serious look does scare people, but not everyone thinks so."
Shen Rongshan said, "I won't go. I'll go out to cut grass and feed the pigs. There's no need for both elders to be there. Just one will do. You can talk to them."
"By the way, don't talk to their parents face to face. Let Lin Yueniang convey the message. She can help them in the middle."
"Yes, I know."
People cannot keep talking. If they keep talking, it will come.
Just then, the two of them had finished washing clothes and were hanging them up in the yard when Lin Yue Niang and her husband came over in a donkey cart.
Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.
"Is anyone home?"
Ji Wenhe ran out quickly: "Lin Yue Niang."
"Hey, I found some nice girls for you. Come on, take your Wenshan and Yuanshan with you to go see some girls."
"Wenshan can't go, he went to his master's place, let Yuanshan go first."
"That's fine. Come back tonight and tell your Wenshan not to go to his master's place these days. I'll take them to see the girl."
She nodded: "Lin Yue Niang, please wait a moment, I will go and call Yuan Shan over."
"Okay, don't worry, just go ahead."
When they got to the pigsty, they said, "Yuanshan, go home and change your clothes. Lin Yueniang is here and will take you to see your marriage."
"If I had known she would come here today, I shouldn't have let you come to the pigpen. Go back quickly, take a quick shower and wash yourself."
"You're here so soon?" Shen Yuanshan walked out of the pigpen and looked at Lin Yueniang at the door. "Sister-in-law, I'm not ready yet."
"What's there to prepare? Go back and wash yourself, change into clean clothes, and comb your hair. We'll be waiting for you at the door. Go quickly."
"Okay, then you wait for me for a while." He trotted back.
Shen Rongshan hung up the clothes and went outside the yard: "Lin Yueniang, the girl who has been seen by Yuanshan should not be seen by Wenshan again."
When Lin Yueniang heard this, she understood what it meant: "Okay, I understand, don't worry about it."
Ji Wenhe asked: "Do you want me to go with you?"
"It would be best if you go with us. If we are successful, we can discuss the betrothal gift."
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
Shen Rongshan said hello and went to the pigpen.
Lin Yueniang patted the cart and said, "Come on, get on, and let's wait for him at the door."
She walked over and sat down: "Where is the girl's home? Is it far?"
"It's not far. Let's go to Zhangjia Village first. There are three girls of the right age in the two villages ahead of Zhangjia Village."
"Let me tell you, not only your Yuanshan will be there to see her, but there will also be other Yueniangs bringing young men and women to see her. There will be many people at the girl's place then."
Ji Wenhe was curious: "Should we look at the person first, or the family conditions first?"
"Some parents look at whether the family is rich, while others look at what kind of person the person is like first. You will know when you go there. I am here for you."
At this time, Shen Yuanshan came out wearing a clean new set of clothes and cloth shoes: "Sister-in-law, Lin Yue Niang, I'm ready."
Lin Yue Niang nodded happily: "Get in the car."
After leaving the village, passing Zhangjia Village and heading north, we arrived at the first girl's house.
There were four or five young men standing at the door, with a few women and two other two-month-old women beside them.
"Stop the car." After the car came to a complete stop, Lin Yueniang jumped out and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go take a look."
The two agreed.
Ji Wenhe looked over and said, "There are quite a lot of people visiting relatives."
The man driving the car took over the conversation: "There are more men than women. Some girls can see more than ten girls a day. There are bachelors in every village. They are too old to marry. It's not easy to marry a wife these days."
"You are right." She agreed, "So you must treat your wife well after you marry her."
These words were spoken to Shen Yuanshan.
After a while, Lin Yueniang came out of the house and said, "Let's go to the next girl's house. This girl likes me and is discussing the betrothal gift."
Turning around to comfort them, he said, "Don't worry, there are many girls out there. If you don't like this one, maybe you and she are not destined to be together."
"We understand that a marriage cannot be arranged just by talking about it." Ji Wenhe replied.
When we arrived at the second girl's house, there were three young men at the door.
Lin Yueliang went in to take a look at the situation, then came out and waved to them, asking them to come over.
Shen Yuanshan got out of the car: "Sister-in-law, I'm a little scared."
Turning around, I saw that he looked nervous: "Relax, don't think too much, and be careful when you go into the room to see the girl. Don't go in and don't even dare to look at the girl's face. Let's go, I'm here."
He took a deep breath and walked into the yard.
Lin Yue Niang was talking to the girl's parents. When she saw them come in, she gave them a brief introduction.
He said to Yuanshan, "Come, follow me into the house."
Ji Wenhe nodded to him. The door was ajar, so she couldn't see who was inside. She was too embarrassed to peek at me, so she stood in the yard in a proper manner.
The two of them were in there for less than a minute when Lin Yueniang brought him out: "You and your sister-in-law wait for me outside the yard. I'll go ask the girl what she means."
