The happy little days of the Ye family

Mrs. Hu heard that Fang Jiawang was an idle second-rate son and felt that he was not worthy of her niece.

Her niece was outstanding in every aspect. She was good-looking, capable, and had a good temper. If her second brother hadn't wanted to recruit a son-in-law, she would have wanted her son to marry her.

It makes me feel uncomfortable for such a good girl to be cheapened by a second-rate person.

Father Ye himself has a daughter, and he also understands Hu's thoughts, but it is really difficult to recruit a son-in-law these days.

Generally speaking, if there is no problem, people are not willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law.

Father Ye began to talk about Fang Jiawang's situation.

"Ms. Hu family, you know that it is really hard to recruit a son-in-law. I know the boy from the Fang family. Although he is a bit lazy, his quality is not a problem. Moreover, my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law are all honest people, and I will be honest in the future. I won’t hold you back.”

"I'll tell you the truth, it was Fang Jiawang who came to me. He said he didn't want to work and wanted to find a daughter from a wealthy family to support him. He asked me to introduce him to a family that has a son-in-law."

"This guy is a real person. He asks for a dowry gift of 20 taels of silver. From now on, the children will bear the woman's surname."

Hu's face improved a little after hearing this, "The conditions are not high, are there any other requirements?"

Father Ye once again told Mr. Hu the request that Fang Jiawang just mentioned.

Although Mrs. Hu despises Fang Jiawang for being irresponsible and unable to support the family, this is much better than the people she met before.

My niece is already 19 years old. She really can't delay it any longer. She can only choose the general among the dwarfs.

Anyway, if the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, it won't be a big deal if they meet each other. Maybe it can actually happen.

Mrs. Hu said cheerfully: "I will go back to my parents' house to talk to my second brother about this boy from the Fang family. Whether it succeeds or not, I will let you know."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Mrs. Hu and Father Ye went out together, but they went in two directions.

When Mrs. Hu returned to her parents' home, in addition to Hu Bin's family of three, her eldest brother, sister-in-law and three nephews were all there.

Although Mr. Hu separated the two brothers' homes, the two families still lived together and had a good relationship.

Mrs. Hu did not hide it from her eldest brother and sister-in-law, but directly told her family about Fang Jiawang's situation.

Fang Jiawang often wandered around the town. Hu Bin saw him and frowned and said:

"That kid looks pretty good, but I heard he's an idle second-rate guy."

Madam Hu let out a long sigh and looked at Hu Shengnan lovingly.

"I also know that this boy is not worthy of Katsuo, but he is better than the previous ones."

"This boy has two brothers in his family. They are both honest farmers. Their family background is average, but they are not so poor that they cannot afford to eat."

"The man's requirements are not high. The betrothal gift of 20 taels is not necessary to help the man's family. Just move around as a normal relative."

"It's just that the boy doesn't like to work. He just wants to find someone to support him. I've been told that he can't be forced to make money to support the family in the future. But I heard that this boy is good at cooking, and he said he can cook at home."

After hearing what Hu said, Hu Bin's face was no longer so bad, but he was still not satisfied.

"I heard that this kid usually likes to drink. I don't know how good the wine is. If he gets drunk and likes to hit others or act like crazy, that won't work."

People in the Hu family also like to drink, but they have a good capacity for drinking. Even if they are drunk, they will not beat others or act drunkenly.

Wine quality is like character, Hu Bin still values ​​this very much.

"Second uncle, my mother-in-law's sister-in-law is from Fangjia Village. I asked someone to go find out about the situation of the Fang family and the Fang family."

"Second uncle, I've met Fang Jiawang before, and I'm going to find someone to help me find out."

"Second uncle..."

Several of Hu Shengnan's cousins ​​volunteered to help inquire about Fang Jiawang.

Hu Bin looked at his nephews with a look of relief.

"Okay, okay, my second uncle's love for you is not in vain. In addition to that boy from the Fang family, it's best for the rest of the Fang family to find out what their character is."

"Second uncle, don't worry. I'll even ask you about the nephews and nieces of the Fang family."

Hu Wu then told his sons, "Be careful when asking, and don't leak out Shengnan's situation. The reputation of a girl's family is especially important."

As for Hu Shengnan, she listened silently in the corner and had already made up her mind.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, she is going to quietly go to Fangjiacun to find out.

She had met a lot of people in the past few years, and she didn't believe the matchmaker's words or the information she found out at all.

It's a good saying. When we meet, they all reveal their true colors. They are all crooked melons and cracked jujubes.

Those men didn't even urinate to see how they looked, and they had the nerve to speak.

She just wanted to take advantage, not only wanted a high betrothal gift, but also cared about her family's money, and just wanted to step on her.

Bah, if you want to be forced to eat soft food, then you have to see if her fist will answer.

The Hu family was still discussing Hu Shengnan's marriage, and Ye's father had already hurried back to North Street to set up a stall.

Father Ye was just doing it conveniently to help the two of them connect. He couldn't leave behind the business at the stall.

In the evening, the father and son went back together again. Just halfway through, it started to rain.

It started out as a light rain, but by the time we got home, it had turned into a downpour.

As soon as the father and son entered the door, they saw Mr. Ye standing under the eaves, silently looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and muttering:

"God is not blind. The rice in the fields will be harvested soon. It is raining heavily at this time. I don't know how much rice will be knocked down."

Looking at the heavy rain outside, Mr. Ye felt so distressed that he felt like he was bleeding.

The rice in the fields has turned from green to yellow, and it will be harvested in a few days. Mr. Ye never expected that it would rain heavily at this time.

Mr. Ye stretched out his arm. The rain hit his hand and it hurt a little. The rice in the field would definitely be knocked down into the field.

At night, because of the rain, almost no one in the village could sleep peacefully.

Mr. Ye has been paying attention to the rain outside the house. In the middle of the night, the rain finally became lighter.

Then it rained lightly for half the night, and finally stopped the next morning.

It cleared up after the rain, and the sun was particularly good the next day.

Mr. Ye ignored breakfast and hurriedly went to the fields to check.

It rained heavily yesterday, and the fields were filled with rainwater. There were some half-yellow and half-green rice floating above the water.

Mr. Ye picked up a few grains of rice with a distressed look on his face. The rice was light and airy in his hands.

After breaking open the rice, I found that there was only a very small grain of rice inside, only one third of the normal size.

The rice is not fully mature yet, and the rice pulp inside has not yet grown. Even if you scoop the rice out of the water, you can only feed it to chickens or ducks.

Mr. Ye felt very distressed, "The good rice has been wasted."

The originally densely packed rice ears have become much sparser.

Mr. Ye estimated that this year's harvest would be at least 20% less.

The Ye family has a lot of fields, so they won't go hungry even if they lose 20% of their harvest, but other people in the village will have to tighten their belts if they lose 20% of their rice.

When Mr. Ye went back, he saw many people wiping their tears in the fields to salvage the rice that had been knocked down by the rain.
