Quickly wear the salted fish and don’t lie flat

The second brother Sang Xiangxi next to him whispered: "The eldest girl of the Cheng family."

When Sang Xiangdong heard this, the tall young man's face instantly turned red, and he hesitated: "Everything... is fine."

Mrs. Sang hated the iron and said: "You are so old, why don't you know how to be anxious? Since we are getting along well, please quickly ask your parents to come to propose marriage."

Sang Xiangdong's face turned even redder, and he almost buried his head in his rice bowl.

Sang Ye was secretly happy to see this. Her eldest brother was not good at words, honest and honest, and he was also particularly shy.

Mrs. Sang was furious when she saw such a useless eldest grandson.

Why is such a tall young man so stubborn!

Mr. Sang glanced at his eldest grandson, feeling helpless.

It's always been a bit difficult for the kid from their eighth alley to get married. His eldest grandson is already eighteen, so it's easy to find someone he likes, but why doesn't he know how to move quickly?

People who are as old as him already have two children!These elders could only watch with greed and worry!

As long as the girl nods her head, the elders will immediately come to her to say goodbye. What if it's too late and someone cuts her off?

Sang Xiangdong pondered for a few more minutes before he plucked up the courage to raise his head and whispered, "But it's up to my parents to make the decision."

Father and mother almost cried with joy when they heard this!

His eldest son is finally getting rid of the terrible fate of being a bachelor!

Sang's mother didn't even eat anymore. She stood up and said excitedly, "Mom, pack your things right now. We'll come to propose marriage soon."

Mrs. Sang held her forehead, speechless again for this heartless daughter-in-law.

He scolded: "Why are you in a hurry? Let's eat first. After dinner, go and invite the matchmaker over. You can discuss what you need to prepare later."

Sang's mother was not annoyed even after being scolded by her mother-in-law, and continued to eat happily.

After so many years, she has become accustomed to it. Her mother-in-law is hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

Here, I would like to introduce the origin of Bahutong and why babies from Bahutong have such a difficult time in the marriage market!

There are eight families living in the alley where Sang Ye and his family live. Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they know their neighbors very well.

The first household at the entrance of the alley is the blacksmith Lu family.

Their family is an ancestral blacksmith. In the eyes of ordinary people, the blacksmith's skills are very popular. As the saying goes: a carpenter working for three days is not as good as a blacksmith working for one day!It can be seen that the blacksmith's income is also very considerable.

Due to their occupations, all the men in the Lu family are extremely muscular. Sang Ye even took a sneak peek at the tendon meat on his body!

The Lu family also has an ancestral blacksmith shop in Xiaosan Lane. In addition to making kitchen knives and the like, the most common job they do is forging weapons for the Jianghu people.

At the same time, there is also an old saying: Punting a boat and grinding iron to grind tofu are the three hardships in the world!

It’s hard-earned money!

The second household is the pig butcher Sang's family.

That is to say, in their family, the skill of killing pigs has been passed down from ancestors. Her grandmother is also the cell leader of the Rock City Women's Prison, a figure that everyone walks around when they see her.

The third household is the executioner Zhao family.

To be honest, if the Zhao family didn't live in Eighth Alley, no one would want to be their neighbors.

Most people are still very taboo about this special profession. People who meet his family usually walk around and get the same treatment as her grandma!

The fourth household is the Zhou family of Yaren.

The men of the Zhou family are all members of the Yaxing industry, and they are involved in a wide range of industries. Whether it is livestock, houses, or even people, the Zhou family is involved. Their line of work should be a whole industry chain.

In their area, the Zhou family are all figures!No one dares to mess with you!They have a big backer behind them!

The fifth household is the watchman Qian's family.

This one needs no further introduction, it just patrols the city every night to do the watch.During the day, it is rare to see the male figures of his family.

The sixth household is the Yamen Cheng family.

Each generation of the Cheng family has a man who works as a yamen servant, and he is considered a big figure in the west of the city.

The seventh household is the fortune-telling Luo family.

Speaking of the Luo family, it is very interesting. Every generation of their family has someone squatting at the gate of the city to tell fortunes to outsiders.

Every time they say it, they are so exciting that they make the young ladies and young men who are new to the world happy and happily dig out their wallets.

It seems that the people in their family really have some skills. Otherwise, how could they run so fast every time someone opened the stall?

However, Mrs. Sang always told Sang Ye that the person named Luo was a liar!Don't trust them.

The eighth household is the house of Goddess Niu.

Sangye has never understood this Niu family anyway. This family is very talkative, and their whereabouts are also mysterious.

Adhering to the principle of respecting ghosts and gods, Sang Ye has always stayed away from people in his family!

The main thing is that the Niu family is most famous for its paper-making skills!

I still remember that when I was young, Sang Ye was playful and ran to Niu's house at the end of the alley for some reason. My eyes were filled with white and paper pricks!

Sang Ye was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his hair stood on end!

To be honest, she wasn't even afraid of going to the battlefield, she was just afraid of these mysterious things. From then on, she never went to play in the innermost part of the alley again.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these eight households were not ordinary households. Over time, the alley where they lived became known as the Eight Hutong.

Of course, this is just Sangye's superficial understanding, and no matter how much more, she has not been exposed to it now.

Due to their special occupations, the marriage market for the juniors in Bahutong is very sluggish.

The girl's life was a little better. Despite the water thrown by the married daughter, and her parents' family was well off, there were still many people who were willing to come to her to ask for her hand in marriage.

The same cannot be said for boys. No family that loves their daughters would want their daughter to marry into such a family.

Not a good reputation!

In the eyes of everyone, marrying in the eighth alley means dealing with gods and ghosts!How can normal people bear it?

Sang Xiangdong's marriage was a typical example of twists and turns. Every time Sang's mother liked a girl, someone else would take advantage of her. She was so angry that she threw several bowls.

Mrs. Sang couldn't stand it anymore, so she calmed down after preaching to her.

It wasn't until Sang Xiangdong's year that things took a turn for the better. The eldest daughter of the Cheng family, who was also a yamen servant in Bahutong, missed the flowering period because she had observed filial piety for three years. The family was very angry and refused.

Somehow, these two kids met.

No, as far as the elders know, the two of them have been getting along privately for three months. Why don't they tell the elders clearly?

It needs to be explained here that the defense between men and women in this period was not strict, and the relationship between the two was more affectionate than polite. They only met each other from a distance, occasionally exchanged a word or two, and did not even give away their wallets. The kind that passed.

They are both from Bahutong and know the ins and outs of the situation. The elders of both parents are also happy to see the result and are waiting for the two children to take the initiative to speak!

Who would have thought that these two children could really hold their composure and remain silent. If Mrs. Sang hadn't been unable to bear it any longer today, she wouldn't have been able to get her ink done!

After dinner, Sang Ye wandered to the Yamen with his grandma.
