Chapter 404: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (9)
"No, Dunzi is in school and doesn't come back every day. Most of the time, Boni is teaching them.
Brother, wait until they have learned it, and then let them go back and teach you.
Several of the Fu were shaken into rattles. "We don't need to learn this. People in their forties are still learning this."
"What's wrong with being in your teens? You don't need to make money or spend money when you're in your teens.
If you ask me, you are just too lazy. When you were learning medical skills from the clan leader, what a great opportunity it was to learn to read.
You would rather spend every day in the mountains than sit down and read."
Talking about those days, the eldest brother said with nostalgia, “You were the smartest back then. Even the clan leader and our grandfather lamented that it would have been better if you were a man.
Dunzi is so good at studying now, it’s all because of your roots.”
"That is!"
After dinner, Shuangshuang sent all his nephews to Dunzi's room, and then chatted with his brothers in the main room.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
"You've seen that third cousin of Dashan, right?"
Qi Dafu nodded, "Yes, I have seen him. What's the matter?"
"So what do you think of others?"
Qi Dafu looked at Huanyan in surprise.
"You want him to be your nephew-in-law?"
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? There's a generation gap!"
"What does the generation difference matter? They are both cousins. This one is the cousin, and the other one is the niece. We can just do our own thing when the time comes."
"Oh, who are you talking about?"
"My eldest cousin's daughter Niuniu is 18 years old this year, and my eldest cousin is so worried about her.
She was told to just marry someone in the next valley, but she refused.
She insists on marrying outside the mountain, but how can it be so easy to marry outside the mountain?
The few people who got married were all scared by Xu Dong, and no one dared to introduce her to anyone.
"My cousin has a good temper. There's no need to worry about any mess. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't dare to take this job."
"Then you should tell Niuniu to him. It's good for everyone!"
Qi Dafu made the final decision!
"Okay, then bring Niuniu out next time and let them see her."
Shuangshuang didn't bother about it so much. No matter whether the seniority was right or not, they would just talk about it separately when the time came.
"Well, if there's a good man, you could help him. There are several young ladies in the mountains who are ready for marriage!"
"Okay, I'll do it."
The six siblings chatted and laughed while they settled the matter.
The next day, they delivered the items to Hongyunlou and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you want them again in the future?"
"want!"
The shopkeeper's answer was decisive!
"I'm telling you, bring me more. Our boss has decided to open a new store in the capital city, and we can handle as much as we want."
Now these cured meats have become the signature dishes of Hongyunlou.
Other stores want to copy it, but they are helpless. Most people will just keep some for themselves.
But they will definitely not be like the mountain people who make bacon out of the prey they bring back because it is inconvenient to go out of the mountains.
During this period, the owner of Hongyunlou has rewarded the shopkeeper several times, and he walks with the wind.
My brother and the others were also happy. Being able to get rid of these unsaleable products made them happier than anything else.
As long as spring is over and summer comes, you can choose to hunt those larger male prey, and slowly there will be more, right?
After returning to Shuangshuang's home and seeing off the brothers, the next group of children came. They got up early in the morning to practice standing meditation to train their eyesight.
Then I would follow my aunt to the mountains to pick mushrooms, collect pine needles or chop firewood, and in the evening I would start learning to write with Bonnie.
Time flies, and soon it is March.
In late March, Dunzi will take the imperial examination. If he passes, he will become a student.
As for the scholar? That depends on whether Dunzi is confident and willing to go.
However, judging from the way Shuangshuang saw Dunzi studying, he should be able to pass the exam. As for Xiucai, that's not certain, after all, he is still too young.
However, being able to pass the examination and become a student at such a young age is quite promising.
That afternoon, when it was getting dark, Shuangshuang and his brothers came again.
This time, they brought two more people, one was Shuangshuang's cousin, and the other was his cousin's daughter Niuniu.
Niu Niu has thick eyebrows and big eyes. She looks very generous and works diligently and efficiently.
Shuangshuang prepared food for them, and the girl immediately went into the kitchen to help.
Because I didn't know they were coming and didn't prepare any food in advance, I could only make them some dumpling soup.
After everyone finished eating, they both looked at the sky and thought that since it was still early, they should let the two of them meet.
I lit a torch and went to Xu Yougen's house in the village. As soon as I entered the door, I got straight to the point.
"Aunt, my eldest brother and his friends are here.
And my cousin niece is here with us, do you want to go and see her?"
"Your cousin?"
"Yes, I am the youngest in my generation, so those who are leaving without getting married are all younger than me."
Xu Yougen took a puff of his pipe and nodded, "It's nothing. They don't have the same surname, and you married her into the family. This kind of thing is not uncommon."
"Then you guys will come with me and take a look?"
"Go."
Then the old couple took their third cousin to Shuangshuang's house.
My third cousin is tall and strong, with a well-proportioned figure. He makes people like him the moment they meet him.
Niu Niu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is dignified and generous, which also fits the aesthetic standards of today's mothers-in-law when looking for their daughters-in-law.
Because it is not easy to come out, there are not so many troubles.
After hearing that both young people were willing, they were directly driven out of the yard to let them develop their relationship.
Of course, there is something to say that I don't want them to hear.
Niu Niu's biological father came with them, so naturally there was no need for Shuang Shuang and Ji Fu to get involved.
Niu Niu's father was also a heavy smoker. After taking a slow puff of his pipe, he directly stated the girl's conditions.
"We don't care whether your family has a betrothal gift or not, but I have only one thing to say: we absolutely cannot let something like Xu Dong happen again."
Ever since the Xu Dong incident, even though the woman's family beat someone up and took money again,
But after she returned, the girl was always depressed, and the elders felt distressed when they saw her.
Xu Yougen also took a puff of his pipe before slowly replying.
"Don't worry about that, my Xu family doesn't have such roots.
If that really happened, I wouldn't need you to do anything, I would break his legs myself."
"Okay, other than that, I have no objection.
You guys can find a suitable day and arrange two tables for them. That would be enough."
Shuangshuang saw that they spoke so quickly, but was not surprised.
My original body's life was even faster than this at that time, because I was not close to my grandfather's family and did not feel at ease living in their house.
So after meeting each other that day, I packed my luggage and moved to Xu's house the next day.
At this time, Xu Laogen narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said something.
"Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. Um... tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, then the day after tomorrow!"
