Chapter 54 The Engagement Is Only Temporary

"What's more, you are already engaged to him, and you still keep it from me." Zhao Xiaohua pouted.

"Shh, keep your voice down, keep your voice down." Li Haitang looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Yongjia was nowhere to be seen, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I just didn't think of how to say it! Besides, do you think I'm willing? The situation was so urgent that I was almost sent to Pan's house in the town. If it wasn't for him and Aunt Gu, you would have lost sight of me a long time ago!"

Zhao Xiaohua was also afraid for a while. She didn't know about this at first, but she only found out about it yesterday. At that time, she was still complaining about Haitang. When he grows more handsome, he will know that he has a marriage contract with Haitang, which makes him feel very depressed.

"Hey, who told us to be good sisters? Forget it this time. I'll leave it to you! He's just good-looking, and he probably won't do anything else. It's not a good thing in our countryside, Haitang, you You have to measure it yourself! Don't regret it later when you get married!" Zhao Xiaohua sounded like an adult.

Li Haitang couldn't help being funny in her heart, she was an adult soul, but this Zhao Xiaohua was a real little girl, she thought it was funny when she thought that she and the little girl were having a good time talking about marriage.

"Xiaohua, are you ashamed, do you want to get married?" Li Haitang said with a smile.

"What's there to be ashamed of? Isn't the most important thing in our life is to marry a good husband? I must open my eyes and choose a good husband for myself, so that I don't have to worry about such and such things every day!" Zhao Xiaohua stood up. A chest that has not yet developed.

"Okay, okay, you will definitely find a good husband!" Li Haitang said sincerely.

"However, to be honest, Haitang, when you marry Gu Yongjia, will he support you? In my memory, I've never seen him work!" Zhao Xiaohua began to worry again.

"Don't worry about this. Our engagement is temporary and may not be successful." Li Haitang said carelessly.

"What? If it doesn't work, how can it work? The reputation of our girl's family is the most important thing. If you break the engagement, you will never want to marry in this life!" Zhao Xiaohua glared at her, a little annoyed that she was talking nonsense!
"If you don't marry, don't marry." Li Haitang said indifferently. As a modern person, she didn't think there was anything wrong with not marrying. , even if you don't get married, just watch your father and your siblings live well.

Zhao Xiaohua looked at Li Haitang like a monster, "Haitang, aren't you stupid?"

Li Haitang pushed her: "You are so stupid! Okay, let's not talk, hurry up, I will finish the work today, take care of the last meal, and pay the wages later, but it is considered a It's over! We are only nine years old now, it's too early to say that!"

Hearing what she said, Zhao Xiaohua felt relieved, there was still a long time before she got married, and she had plenty of time to make her change her mind!

Gu Yongjia vaguely listened to Li Haitang's remarks in the room, and unconsciously clenched his fists. This little girl still doesn't want to marry him?If you don't marry yourself, who will you marry?He wanted to see if she would marry him or not!
Greeting all the workers to come to eat, Li Haitang circled around the big brick house of his house, feeling very happy!This is her home, big and bright!She will work hard to turn this area into her own property in the future. It is a good place to be surrounded by mountains and facing water!
After the meal, Li Haitang greeted everyone, holding more than ten slings of money in his hand to distribute wages to the villagers who worked.Li Haitang knew which person had been working for a few days, and stepped forward one by one, counting the amount of money that had been changed with a slap, and quickly counted the money for the person, without any mistakes.

Everyone present was stunned, especially Li Yulin, who worked in the town, even those old accountants were not as quick as his own daughter in settling accounts!

The next day people in the Li family village spread the word that the eldest girl of Li Yulin's family is a child prodigy.
When Li Haitang settled the bill for those people, Gu Yongjia was also watching. He was afraid that the girl would make a mistake and pay more money for nothing. In the end, she was so smooth. It's done, and the accuracy is [-]%!This makes Gu Yongjia who thinks he is proficient in arithmetic very depressed. Why is this girl always so unexpected?

"Father, our family needs to buy some cotton fabrics. Look, the quilt needs to be made. The sheets and quilt cover also need to be done. By the way, Dongsheng Dongmei's clothes also need to be made. Soon It's going to be winter, and their cotton-padded clothes are indispensable! Also, dad, you should also buy two sets of clothes, you see, it's all patched up, and I don't know where to start patching!" Li Haitang broke Nagging in broken thoughts.

"Hey, girl, we have to buy this thing, but we have no money! Dad is thinking, he will go to town tomorrow, and he will continue to work. When he comes back during the Chinese New Year, how can he transfer a few taels of money? , it will be enough to buy the things you said at that time!" Li Yulin said embarrassingly, saying such things to his daughter, he just felt that he was too unqualified to be a father!
"Hmm." Li Haitang lowered her head and answered, she really didn't want Li Yulin to leave. She was an orphan in her previous life and had never enjoyed the warmth of a family. Although her master treated her well, the feelings were not as good as the care from her parents.But there is nothing to do about the current situation. I owe a whole lot of debt, so I have to pay it back, right?

Li Yulin saw what she was thinking, and patted Li Haitang's head: "Haitang, it's my father's fault. My father must work hard to earn money. When we pay off our debts, we can buy a few acres of land with the remaining money. Our father will guard it." Have a good time!"

Li Haitang nodded, despising himself a bit, why did he become so childish all of a sudden?

"Father, I know, I will take good care of Dongsheng Dongmei!" Li Haitang promised with a bright light in his eyes, patting his small chest.

Because the house was just built, the humidity was still heavy, Haitang stayed in the small courtyard of Gu's family at other times except for burning the kang to remove the humidity during the day.

"Begonia, Haitang." Gu Su called her.

"What's wrong, Aunt Gu?" Li Haitang replied.

"Didn't you say that the wine was brewed in a month? Is it possible to open the altar?" Gu Su's eyes were bright and full of curiosity.

She didn't say that she had forgotten that the grapes had been brewed some time ago, so if you count the time, isn't it just a matter of these few days?
Li Haitang rinsed his hands several times with clean water to make sure his hands were clean, and then he got up and went to the cellar.

Her family has limited conditions, so she used the simplest method to brew this wine, which is the method used by every family in later generations. It is simple and has no technical content.

Gu Su's face was even more excited as he followed Li Haitang.She always found it unbelievable, and she didn't even look at how Haitang did it. She just washed the grapes and dried them, then carefully stacked layers of grapes and layers of sugar, then changed the jar, sealed it tightly with yellow mud, and that's it. Can we produce wine that Westerners drink?
