The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 19 Uncle Shen's Blind Date

"Plant all of these, and our family has planted 15 acres." Zhou still can't accept so much, and is really worried about what to do if there is no harvest in the autumn harvest.

"Don't worry, mother, Brother Wuyou and I have agreed that we will sell all the watermelons that we harvest this year, and you can buy them from the restaurant in Brother Wuyou's house." Shen Xuan told Zhou's part of her plan.

"Hey, well, as long as there is something to gain." Zhou thought in her heart that she would do more embroidery by herself so as not to overburden her family.

"By the way, mother, today, I heard something today?" Shen Xuan is still a little bit gossip about the meeting of her parents.

Zhou didn't lift her head, and asked while interspersing with the leads: "What's the matter, I'm still hesitating when I talk to my mother."

"Aunt Li's younger sister likes my father?"

Mrs. Zhou paused, "Sister Li Auntie?"

Shen Xuan looked up at the next door, Zhou Shi understood, "You mean Li Shi's younger sister."

"kindness."

"Mother doesn't know very well. Mother married you not long after she met your father. It's just that your grandma mentioned that Sister Li likes your father, but no one in the whole family agreed." It took me a while to remember.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's okay, I just heard about it and asked, hehe." No wonder I always felt that my father didn't want to talk to Li Shi, it turned out that there was still such a problem.

Time slipped away at the fingertips, and after more than 10 days of busy work, the wheat of the two families was harvested and put into the warehouse, and the peanuts were also planted.Before the end of the month, Shen Xuan asked Shen's father to transplant 10 acres of wasteland with watermelon seedlings and sunflowers. During the process, Shen Xuan mixed spiritual water with water and sprinkled it on the ground, which can not only ensure the survival rate but also prevent insect bites.I can finally stop and rest, Liu's confinement, the little sister Xiaoxiao raised her fat and fat.Next, father Shen would just look at the growth of the field from time to time; Zhou's body has been two months old, and he is no longer vomiting under the conditioning of Shen Xuan's Lingshui; the three-character scriptures enlightened by the four brothers.The hundred family names and the thousand-character prose have been learned, and Shen Xuan started to teach them martial arts; Shen Xuan's Nine Yin Scriptures have already achieved great success. Generally speaking, everyone in this family is busy, and I believe it will be better in the future .

After the seedlings were over, Uncle Shen's major life events were brought to the table.Except for Uncle Shen who was more silent after hearing about it, everyone else was expecting it.

There was a fair today, and Grandma Shen and Auntie Shen took Shen Xuan to clean up early in the morning and left.When they arrived in the town, Grandma Shen and the others first asked someone to inquire. It turned out that this girl Meng was only 15 years old and had an old father who was bedridden due to illness all the year round.His mother died early, and he gave birth to a younger brother who was studying at a young age.It's not that Miss Meng is not sought after, but no one agrees to the conditions put forward by this girl.Because there are seniors and juniors, the entire family's livelihood is borne by Ms. Meng alone. Ms. Meng made a request: the other party must take care of her father.Bear the younger brother's education expenses.Calculated in this way, at least 30 taels of silver a year are farmers whose family has extra money to support two extra people, so this girl Meng is not engaged yet.

"Mother, shall we still go to the grocery store?" The auntie's enthusiasm dissipated after hearing Miss Meng's request.It's not that I can't find other girls, why do I have to see this girl, the main reason is that the conditions are too harsh.

"Xiaoxuan, what do you think?" Grandma Shen asked the person who brought up the matter.

"Grandma, let's go and have a look, it's just shopping."

"Okay, let's go." Grandma Shen picked up the basket and walked to the grocery store, thinking to go and have a look, or she would have regrets in her heart, and besides, she wanted to see what the girl her third child liked looked like.

When they arrived at the door of the grocery store, just as they were about to go in, the aunt pulled Grandma Shen aside and patted her chest exaggeratedly to soothe her frightened heart.

"What's the matter, eldest daughter-in-law, it's already at the door, what are you hiding?" Grandma Shen was thinking about something just now, she didn't see what was going on in the store, but Shen Xuan saw it.

"Shhh, mother, please lower your voice, look inside the store, my uncle is inside!"

Everyone looked in the direction that the auntie pointed, and Uncle Shen was chatting with a girl in blue clothes. I didn't know what Uncle Shen said to the girl, but I saw that the girl's complexion was not very good, and she adjusted quickly Laughed again, just a little far-fetched.After Uncle Shen finished speaking, he turned his head and left. The girl stood at the door of the store and looked at Uncle Shen's back, weeping, covered her face with a handkerchief, turned her head and entered the store.

"Xiaoxuan, did you see clearly, it's that girl?" Grandma Shen wanted to make sure of her first.

"Well, grandma, this is the girl I met on the Dragon Boat Festival last time." Shen Xuan would not admit it wrong.

The uncle looked at the store, "Mom, shall we go in?"

"Don't go in, let's go." Grandma Shen turned and left, and heard the conversation from the aunt to Grandma Shen, "Mother, did you see it just now? After the girl entered the store, my uncle looked back at her." At a glance, you said uncle won't see us, right?"

Her answer was silence, the day passed silently, and Shen Xuan didn't think about anything.Afterwards, Grandma Shen used the connections in the village to start seeing girls for Uncle Shen.The village was overjoyed to hear that the third child in Lizheng's family was begging for a daughter-in-law, and wondered which relatives of his family could go around to see if there was a matching girl.After seeing several girls in a row, Uncle Shen didn't nod, he just disagreed. In the end, Grandma Shen nodded and ordered Aunt Wang's niece whose maiden name was Zhao in the village.

This day, when Brother Chun came back to class after lunch, he had a message for Father Shen and the others. Grandma Shen asked the whole family to go to the old house in the evening to discuss things.Father Shen and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other, they didn't hear that there was something important to discuss at home, everyone was curious.Finally, everyone stayed up until the afternoon to prepare dinner for Xie Wuyou, and then everyone went to the old house early.

"Second brother, you are here. Dad and the others are in the main room, go in." The aunt Zhang greeted her from the kitchen.

Father Shen went to the main room to find his brothers, the boys gathered to discuss today's homework, Shen Xuan followed Zhou into the kitchen.Mrs. Zhang was busy cooking vegetables on the stove, while Mrs. Zhou and Shen Xuan found a place to sit down and help pick vegetables.

"Sister-in-law, what is it that we all need to discuss together?" Zhou is pregnant and doesn't hear anything out of the window.

Mrs. Zhang took a peek at the main room and saw that no one was paying attention, so she whispered to Mrs. Zhou, "I just had dinner this morning, and Mrs. Wang came to the house to make a fuss!"

"Sister-in-law, are you right?" Mrs. Zhou didn't understand this. My uncle was going to be engaged to Mrs. Wang's niece. It is said that the two are relatives, so why are there still people making trouble.

"Hey, it's not that my uncle went to the town yesterday. I don't know what happened and ran into Miss Meng. The two were chatting. It just so happened that Miss Zhao went shopping in the store and met her. Isn't this girl I started crying when I got home, the brothers from Mrs. Wang's natal family came early this morning."
