Chapter 753: Feng Hai
At dawn, Gazi went up the hill with his sickle. The fastest chapter update at the foot of the mountain is tiled, like a white blanket, the fog is getting wider and wider, gradually thinning, and you can see the green trees in the Xujia Courtyard from a distance, and a few old willow trees stand upright in the air, which makes it seem that the village is thriving.
People were noisy, Zhu Wu and his son took people to the mountain, ate some fruits and hunted for a long time, and they were tired.
Gazi led them to the house, the water in the stove pot was already boiling, and the tea was brewed for Zhu Wuye to drink, and Zhu Xi saw that the sand in the corner of the yard was oily, and some watermelons were growing.
Zhu Xi took the lead in smashing a stuffy head and eating it, and the others followed, Gazi was originally going to give it to Jin Feng, but it was difficult to stop it, so he said casually: "If the young master likes to eat, bring some back." β
Suddenly, a young woman called out to Gazi by the fence, and her voice was clear and crisp, and Gazi hurried over, and after a while she came in again, and walked away with the largest watermelon in her arms.
Zhu Xi's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of the woman's white handkerchief and long, black braids from the side of the door, and asked Uncle Duck, "Who is the woman?" β
Uncle Duck replied: "She is the daughter of the Ruan family, who sells groceries on the bridge, she is sixteen years old this year, and her name is Jin Feng." It was probably Boss Ruan who took a fancy to Gazi, a good helper who was honest and capable, so that he could inherit his family business in the future. Gazi don't look honest, he doesn't want to plug the door upside down, so he can't make up his mind yet. β
"What's wrong with a door-to-door son-in-law?" Zhu Xi looked around, "What is there to be reluctant to do in the four walls of the family, as long as you don't force you to change your surname, it's nothing." β
As he was saying this, Gazi came back, his face was red, and he didn't know what to say when he wanted to explain, so he just rubbed his hands.
Zhu Wu asked with a smile: "Gazi, what are you afraid of?" β
Gazi didn't understand, and said blankly: "I'm afraid of water!" β
"Women are made of water." Zhu Wu smiled, and the others laughed too. Gazi also smiled. In the afternoon, Zhu Xi led the yellow dog up the mountain to fight rabbits, and shot a lot of shots, but got nothing.
In the evening, Zhu Wu and his son rode back, and they didn't have to go from the road at the mouth of the river, but Zhu Xi wanted to go to the bridgehead to have a look, bought some things casually in the shop, talked with the shopkeeper Ruan for a while, and took a good look at Jin Feng before leaving.
On the way back, Zhu Xi laughed at his father and said: "I thought you were the emperor of the soil in Liaodong, but who knew that you didn't know the suffering of the people." Blindly high up. β
The words were pointed, Zhu Wu frowned and said: "Don't beat other people's ideas, the third master likes Gazi very much, and I also admire him." β
Zhu Ximan said nonchalantly: "Where is the third master going, don't take good care of the mud legs?" He has been out for a year this time, and if he has to return to Beijing no matter what, a few poor people in the countryside will forget about it in a blink of an eye. A good piece of fat lamb for a dog? That girl has long eyebrows, bright eyes, and is such a beautiful thrush. β
Zhu Wu knew his son's virtue and didn't care. Don't say that Gazi hasn't pierced the window paper yet, as long as they are not engaged, Boss Ruan and his wife have the absolute right to choose who their daughter marries, and the virtuous people in the world live there. The same is true for women.
The sun and the moon alternated, the dog's tail grass in front of the house and behind the house was white, and Gazi went into the city to sell more than a dozen loads of firewood, and sold a few baskets of herbs to the official pharmacy. Saved up some savings.
In the golden autumn of October, the weather in Liaodong suddenly cooled down, and it was cold and hot at times. Wear a leather jacket in the morning and evening, and you can wear a coat fan during the day at noon, and the temperature is always around ten degrees, and it is not yet winter.
In the evening, when the grocery store arrives, the leper burns a tree stump, and the fire is blazing, attracting people from the village to come and talk over the fire. At this time, the forage of the livestock has been stacked, the grain has been harvested, and the miscellaneous grains and sauerkraut have been left in the cellar, and it is time for the peasants to rest and rest, so there are people in the house from day to night.
The evening is especially lively, and from time to time there are soldiers on leave or students returning home to tell some news about the province and Kannai, and everyone is interested in talking about it in the sky and on the ground.
Gazi has to come and sit every night, sitting by the fire as usual, he doesn't like to talk, while listening to their conversation to increase his knowledge, while secretly glancing at Jin Feng. Sometimes his gaze and Jin Feng's gaze matched, and the blood seemed to be much faster.
He also helped Boss Ruan do some small things, and also helped Jin Feng do some work. If there are no customers in the shop, just watch Boss Ruan plan under the lamp and check the remaining goods. The abacus in Gazi's heart is also picking up, thinking about selling some good things during the New Year, a small fortune, and at the end of the year, there will be all the fish and meat, and there will be one person left.
This night, Lao Ruan suddenly asked, "Gazi, do you want to start a family?" You want to ask for a daughter-in-law, uncle and I will help you. β
Gazi stared at the burning flames and said, "Uncle, are you telling the truth? Who will marry me. β
"If you want someone, although you have no relatives, but a good young man, you have to have strength and strength, and you have to have character."
"I don't believe it."
"Who believes that Liaodong is so good? Who believes that a tengu bites the moon? Even if you don't believe it, the tengu will bite the moon at that time, and no one can help but believe it. Lao Ruan smiled, "Let me tell you, my old family often said that the bamboo finches on the mountain want female finches, you have to sing and find them yourself, you have to keep a snack, it's time to marry a wife." β
Gazi listened to it, and he didn't know how to continue, and the leper smiled: "There are many girls to be married in the village, and there are many neighboring villages." β
Jin Feng said unhappily: "Brother Gazi, don't listen to the leper. He said he would catch foxes and otters in a trap, and he put a clip at the back of the house, and caught my cat. β
When Gazi, who understood it, went home, he laughed as he walked, and Boss Ruan was also there to set up a condom to catch his son-in-law, so he couldn't help laughing.
One is deliberately consecrated, the other is willing to put on the continuum, and things seem to be very simple. But Gazi is a hairy boy in the end, and he has a sense of fear of women in his heart, and Jin Feng is too good-looking, and he often goes to lectures, he is worried that he is not worthy of others, and he can't afford to support her.
Lying on the wooden bed at night, he felt that this matter was a bit dangerous, Jin Feng grew up, his mind was opened, and the leper could get close to her anytime and anywhere, as well as those businessmen who came and went from south to north, cadets in the military academy, classmates in the school, military attachΓ©s with soldiers, which one is not better than himself? At this time, he realized the deep meaning of Xu Sanye, if there is a Xu family as a backrest, then he has the capital to compete with anyone, it seems that he has to wait as soon as possible, and he can't delay it anymore.
The next day, Gazi immediately went into the city to find a fellow uncle, who was carrying him ashore in the shipwreck, closer than a real relative.
My uncle is a cook, and I happen to have a big family to entertain him, and my uncle is the second-in-command, cutting waist flowers on the board.
He saw that his uncle was busy, so he stayed in the kitchen to help pick garlic and edamame, and in the evening, when the table was removed, it was already the second watch, and he ate and fell asleep in a hurry.
For several days in a row, there were people holding red and white ceremonies, and my uncle was not idle for a moment, but he was tired and sick. During this period, Gazi went to the word booth to measure the word, and what he did for his uncle was a "cool" word, and he made a "back" word.
The word tester said: "People are in good spirits when they are happy, and if they ask about the disease, they will be cured if they are sick." The word back is half of the word of joy, half of the word of auspiciousness, but the word is also half, and the things to be done should be done as soon as possible, and I am afraid that it will not be done if it is late. β
Gazi felt very reasonable, and said to his uncle at night: "I want to get married, the daughter who sells groceries in Xikou is decent and virtuous, I want to marry her, as long as I open my mouth, I should be able to do it." β
Uncle was happy when he heard it, his wife and son were dead, he had always regarded Gazi as his own son, and he had accumulated twenty taels of silver in the past few years, and he was not sure of his idea, whether it was better to keep it as a coffin, or to continue the string? Since Gazi intends to pass on the lineage, and the other party is still a girl who sells groceries, of course, he decided to invest his money in this matter.
"You need money to get married, and my uncle has it." After speaking, he took out large and small pieces of broken silver from the soil under the kang and put them in front of Gazi, "Take them all, we can't be shabby, I will raise a son in the future, and I will have a little grandson who counts as mine, and I will burn some paper money during the New Year's holidays, and it will be done." β
Gazi was moved in his heart and said: "I don't want my uncle's money, his family has a shop, and he won't accept my bride price." β
Uncle said: "Confused, people don't want you to give it, in the past, you could do it yourself, you can eat when you have food, and tighten your trouser belt if you don't have food." If you want to get married, you can't do it, which means that you are a gentleman. This person must have a face, and if he wants a wife, he has to support his wife and raise children, and he can't rely on his father-in-law, and he will be told by others that you eat nepotism. If you use the money, your uncle's is yours, and our family is not short of money. β
"Thank you, uncle." Gazi's heart was warm, and he vowed to give his uncle a pension.
After discussing it at the moment, Gazi went to the street to buy things, bought four kinds of flower cloth, ten catties of vermicelli, a pig, and bought some things to suit the occasion, spent a total of five taels of silver, and happily returned to Xikou.
He still carried a phoenix hairpin sent by Xu Hao in his arms, made of pure gold, and he was not embarrassed to give it to Jin Feng, he didn't know that this phoenix hairpin was worth three hundred taels of silver.
As soon as I went out of the city, I met two subordinates of the Zhu Wu family, who were about to enter the city in a carriage, and Gazi asked them what was the matter?
A family member said, "The young master sent us to buy things on a whim for some reason. β
took out the list, listed a lot of various things, and said with a smile: "Good guy, just buy this old one casually, and there is no name." β
"It's just that you can do a lot of things without thinking about it."
Another family member saw that Gazi had bought a lot of things, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you buy a bunch of them too, this is about to invite us to a wedding wine?" β
"Gazi, you're making a fortune, this pig has to be hundreds of catties, right?"
Gazi replied half-truthfully: "When it is simmered in the evening, please have a drink." β
When they broke up, the family said: "You have a good complexion, there must be a happy event but you deliberately don't say it, hide it from us." β
A few words made Gazi flutter up and down, and his footsteps were windy along the way. When I got home, I made up my mind to go to the Xikou Qiaotou grocery store to talk to Lao Ruan, and when I arrived, I learned that Boss Ruan and his family were not at home and had something to do.
Ask Jin Feng where her father and mother have gone? When will you be back? Jin Feng said with a faint expression that he didn't know, and asked the leper, who said that he had gone to the village and didn't know what was going on.
Gazi felt a little weird, and thought that Jin Feng had quarreled with his parents, so he was not very happy.
He still sat on the low stool, fiddling with the hot ashes of the stove and thinking about his thoughts. (To be continued......)
