Chapter 66

Tang Mi didn't notice Tang Gu's expression, but talked to Xia He about it in a somewhat discussive tone.

She was indeed selfish in the matter.

One, of course, is for my brother.

Second, Xia He's webbing is really beautiful, a style she has never seen before.

Compared with Xia He's zippers, the ones she made are actually two flavors.After all, Xia He is a native of the area, so he knows better what colors the people around here like.Like her, although the craftsmanship is good, but not everything can satisfy the people here.With Xia He's help, she would definitely be able to do better.

After all, the aesthetics of a daughter's family is always different from that of men.

Xia He calmed down a bit when he heard the words, although many people said that her family has four acres of fertile land and is a nice family.But Xia He knew very well that every household in Shanghe Village had a lot of fertile land, so what was the four acres?It's just something between someone's teeth!Moreover, they have to pay taxes and so on every year. Now it seems that they will not die of hunger, but what if there is a drought or famine?If the family has more income, the cellar can be filled with grain by then.

If she can learn some skills from Tang Mi, she can earn a little bit.

Even if it doesn't work out with Tang Gu, she still has to look forward and plan for the future, right?
Xia He was silent for a moment, "Didn't I take advantage of you?"

Seeing what Xia He said, Tang Mi liked Xia He even more in his heart.

Xia He is really different from many local girls she has seen. She has a hearty and capable personality. She doesn't worry about gains and losses because of men, and knows that she can get along with her skills.

If such a woman could really become her own sister-in-law, no one would dare to plot against her lumbering brother.

"How can you say that?" Tang Mi quickly corrected Xia He's words, "Sister, you also taught me how to tie nets. I taught you how to weave back baskets and baskets, and they came in exchange!"

"You didn't take advantage of me, but I have to trouble you!"

Seeing that she was so straightforward, Xia He didn't want to struggle any longer, so she agreed.

Xia's family has a distant relative in Xiahe Village, who is Mr. Xia's cousin Qiao.

Mrs. Qiao married Village Chief Li's youngest brother, who gave birth to a son and two daughters.

The eldest daughter is married, the second daughter has just reached the age of Ji, and the youngest son is a few months older than Li Gou'er, who is studying in the village school.

Qiao's natal family is weak, so she has been in contact with Old Man Xia all these years.A few years ago, Mrs. Qiao kept inviting Xia He to stay at home for a few days, saying that she wanted her second daughter, Li Xiuer, to learn how to weave from Xia He.

She is very clumsy in needlework, and she has no mother-in-law to teach her, and her natal family has no reliable ones, so she can only ask Old Man Xia.

It's a pity that the Xia family is also very busy, and it has been delayed until now.

Now, Xia He can come to Xiahe Village to live for a few days, and at the same time teach Li Xiuer weaving, and at the same time learn crafts from Tang Mi.

When Tang Mi heard this, she almost burst out laughing!When Xia He was about to leave, Tang Gu gave her several pieces of brown sugar cake, saying it was a gift of apology for stepping on Xia He just now.

In fact, even though Tang Mi was eager to stop Xia He just now, her feet were not heavy at all, she just touched her lightly.Xia He was also embarrassed to take other people's things, but Tang Gu just kept stuffing them into her hands, and she couldn't bear to embarrass Tang Gu in front of the Tang family, so she had to take them away in the end.

When he returned home, Old Man Xia looked at these pieces of brown sugar cake but was very unconvinced.

He groaned for a long time but was unwilling to take a breath. In the end, Xia He poured him tea and said, "Father! Why are you so angry!"

"Are you still afraid that your daughter won't be able to marry?"

Old man Xia was not willing to listen to his daughter slandering her like this, so he quickly took a mouthful, "Nonsense! My lotus is beautiful. People who want to marry you have to go from our house to the entrance of the village!"

"But this Tang Gu is blind. If his family is like that, what kind of fairy do you want to marry and go back?"

Speaking of this marriage, Old Man Xia absolutely disagrees!
The Tang family has three sons, Jiang Shi is still pregnant with one, it is not known whether it is a boy or a girl, if it is a son, the family will be more chaotic in the future.

The Tang family has opened a shop now, but the family still supports a scholar.Oh, by the way, they are also wishful thinking to find a wife for the ugly daughter at home.

Pooh!He didn't think it was wrong for the Tang family to care about their daughter, but the Tang family was like this. To put it bluntly, anyone who married in the past would have to suffer.

The Tang family loves their daughter, so doesn't Old Man Xia love his daughter?He was only such a child in his life, if Xia He didn't get married well, even if he closed his eyes, he would not have the courage to meet Xia He's mother.

"Father!" Seeing that Old Man Xia was angry, Xia He quickly patted him on the back to let Old Man Xia feel comfortable before saying, "Marriage is destined, and my daughter has ambition, so I'm not afraid that no one will want her!"

"Don't be angry too. Tang Mi is a good sister. She learned how to play nets with me, so she wants to teach me to weave panniers and baskets! Do you know the panniers she weaves? I heard people say that each one costs ten cents. Woolen cloth!"

"When my daughter learns it, I'll make one up for you too, so you can look foreign!"

Seeing that his daughter was apologizing to him and being obedient, old man Xia couldn't say anything more, so he could only hum, "It's not that daddy doesn't have a basket on his back!"

"You can go to your aunt's house to stay for a few days. I heard from your aunt that Xiu'er has not yet settled on a marriage. She talked about a marriage before, but this family thinks that Xiu'er can't weave!" Angry, "Those who don't know think that their family is not marrying a wife but looking for servants!"

Seeing his father like this, Xia He couldn't laugh or cry.

The woman chooses the man, and if she wants a house or land, shouldn’t the man also choose the woman?Country people are all sincere, and no one wants to marry a daughter-in-law who can't do anything.

But Li Xiu'er also suffers from not being able to weave, otherwise the marriage should have been settled long ago.

But her father agreed with her to live in Xiahe village for a few days, which is also a good thing.

Before leaving, Xia He checked the things at home, and told old man Xia a lot of words, which made old man Xia very impatient.

He waved his hand, "Hurry up and go, it's really long-winded, but I'm going to live at your aunt's house for a few days, and it's not like I won't come back after getting married!"

Xia He was helpless, and finally got up and went to Xiahe Village.

……

In the past few days, Tang Mi asked her brother clearly.

Tang Gu definitely liked Xia He, he blushed very much when he mentioned Xia He, and kept saying that Xia He was amazing.

Tang Mi asked elder brother what is Xia He's strength, but Tang Gu couldn't tell why.

In the end, Tang Mi made up his mind and asked Xia He what he thought when the time came.

In the past few days, she took advantage of the relationship between Cheng Shi and Peng Cui to gradually talk to Qiao Shi, and even Li Xiuer was very affectionate when she saw her.

That's right, no one can refuse delicious food, especially Tang Mi always holds something in his hand every time he goes to them.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia He arrived, Li Xiu'er came with a message, saying that she was asked to go to the house and ask her about weaving.
