Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

Before Ye Xiaoan returned home, he saw from a distance that the front of the house was surrounded by people for three floors.Fortunately, because most of the men were in the fields at this time, and it was brothers and children who joined in the fun, no one could be sure of the identity of the person who came to propose marriage.Seeing him coming back, they gave way one after another.

When we arrived in front of the house, it wasn't like someone was waiting as Tian Xifan said, but the door was wide open, and someone inside was talking loudly.Ye Xiaoan hadn't had time to get angry when he heard his uncle's high-pitched voice obviously excited.He always felt that something was wrong, but before he had time to think about it, he had already walked in.

Sitting in the room were Sun Yalin, Zhou Lekang, Chen Xidi and a forty-year-old judge, but Ye Xiaoan didn't know anyone except his uncle.As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Lekang and Chen Xidi's eyes fell on him, and their faces were always trying to release kindness.

Sun Yalin waved at him and said, "Brother An, come quickly and let uncle see."

Ye Xiaoan originally had a glimmer of hope because Tian Xifan misread it, and now he saw two brand new red lacquered wooden boxes, six baskets and other odds and ends on the ground, so he couldn't believe that someone really came to propose marriage.Thinking about the uncle who suddenly appeared at home, no one would believe that he had nothing to do with him.

Although the body he got when he came to this world for no reason is a bit strange, but his heart of a man has never changed!Ye Xiao'an felt overwhelmed, and it was not easy to show his uncle's face under the eyes of everyone, so he had to go over and let Sun Yalin pinch his hands and slap his back to "look" carefully. Go out to collect red envelopes.

"Brother An is growing up!" Sun Yalin finally came up with this sentence, finally let go of his hand and pushed him to the side to sit down.When proposing marriage, men don't have to come to the door. It is the most face-saving way to have elders come.But this is the first time that the elders of the other party have officially come to the door, so my brother will be called out to sit with him instead.

When Sun Yalin said this, he wiped away a few tears, which seemed to be true and false, and Chen Xidi persuaded him repeatedly, saying that although he was not close to his father, he was very close to his uncle. Someone loves Yunyun.

Ye Xiaoan knew that these two people must be the people his uncle brought to propose marriage, of course, no matter who the person proposed was, he crossed his mind early.But if he refused, he could only tell his uncle in private, so he pretended not to understand and kept quiet, only relying on Sun Yalin to pat his back soothingly.In fact, this person is really right in saying one thing, maybe he is really destined to have no parents, no matter before or now, he has lived two lifetimes as an orphan.

"Hey, I made you laugh." Sun Yalin wiped away his tears, and said to Ye Xiao'an: "You are not too young, if you are, I should have arranged for you early in the morning. The Zhou family is very kind, and it is also You are blessed. Live a good life in the future, and uncle will be relieved."

"Well, uncle..." Ye Xiaoan hurriedly interrupted him in a low voice. Since he intends to refuse, he must not let his uncle say such misleading words!

"Let's talk later, you bring the jug of wine and pour it for everyone." Sun Yalin didn't give him a chance to speak, and pointed to the wine he brought over from the kitchen.

It was only then that Ye Xiaoan realized that he had brought wine, a brown wine jug with a wide belly, long mouth and a narrow mouth, with rouge paper stuck on the body of the jug.The wine was a fine old wine, and soon after opening it filled the room with fragrance, so he had no choice but to put aside what he wanted to say and pour the wine for everyone as he said.After a circle, the wine worm in his stomach was also hooked, and he couldn't help swallowing.

There was a lot of talk and laughter in the room, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.The Zhou family didn't give in when they took his drink, only the hand judge who accompanied him stood up and squeezed him with a smile. In the future, I will have a caring person to help you with housework."

Ye Xiaoan sniffled, these people are too happy with themselves, he must resolutely reject his uncle's kindness!But after drinking, they didn't say any more, and praised each other, and the Zhou family left happily.

"Brother An is going to get married, we are really old." Sun Yalin sent people out, still feeling a little sad: "I was in a hurry to get married back then, so you helped me sew the wedding dress Fortunately, this time I asked someone to do it early..."

The more he talked, Ye Xiaoan couldn't help interrupting him: "Uncle is just getting old, I'm only fourteen, and I don't plan to get married so soon..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We've already drank all the wine we've met, and we've picked the date, nah!" Just now, Sun Yalin drank too much from a bowl of wine. The red paper is pressed on the table.

Ye Xiaoan picked it up and took a look, there were two groups of birthdays written on the paper, and then a few happy days marked "everything is suitable".Sun Yalin's words passed through his ears again, and it was deafening: "What kind of wine is it?"

"When people come to propose marriage, don't you agree if you invite someone to drink?" Sun Yalin used to speak softly to him, but at this time he was slightly drunk, and his voice became louder. A posture of chaos and abandonment.

"You didn't tell me that it's a kinship wine!" Ye Xiaoan wanted to explain to him slowly in private, and it would not be difficult to return those gifts, but he didn't expect to be tricked just now.

In fact, Sun Yalin didn't deliberately conceal that he was drinking wine for confession, but Ye Xiaoan himself didn't know these complicated customs, and there might be related things in his memory, but he only listened to his uncle's words to pour the wine, so how could he have thought that there was such a meaning .On the other hand, he came back too late. Sun Yalin originally agreed with the other party to come to the door today, and it can be said that he has reached an agreement.Just now before he came back, the two sides talked again, but he didn't hear it.

"Proposal of marriage is about acknowledging relatives and wine, otherwise what's the point of proposing marriage?" His words circled in Sun Yalin's mind, and he couldn't quite understand it anymore, and he was dizzy.

Ye Youping didn't speak when he entered the door. Both Zhou Lekang and Chen Xidi had greeted him and were polite, but because they basically couldn't communicate and Sun Yalin was in charge of the overall situation, he just watched silently from the sidelines.At this time, seeing the two people getting anxious, they hurried up to support the uncle, and then signaled to Ye Xiaoan that the uncle was drunk.

Ye Xiaoan couldn't remember when he was young, but Ye Youping remembered that his uncle had a very bad drink capacity. At this moment, he understood Sun Yalin's expression, and half pushed and half helped him to Ye Xiaoan's room.

When he came out, Ye Xiaoan's face darkened again.The culprit was drunk, who should he talk about?He is so confused now, he doesn't even know who the other party is!

Ye Youping didn't seem to notice his depression, even his eyes were smiling.What he had been worrying about had finally come to fruition, and it was his uncle who handled it all by himself, which made him very relieved.After counting the things on the ground carefully, he finally took out a handwritten letter from the basket and handed it to Ye Xiaoan.

Ye Xiaoan glanced at all the things listed above, and was stunned when he finally saw the word Zhou Nan in the signature. Could it be the Zhou Nan he knew?

He was about to search for some more clues when suddenly there was the sound of a bullock cart outside.With his back to the door, Ye Youping couldn't hear the noises, so he hurried out to have a look.

Yang Jia'an drove Sun Yalin back in an ox cart, and some people who were still far away from outside came forward one after another, wanting to inquire about some news.Tian Fang, who had been paying attention to their house, quickly walked over and closed the door.

"Brother An, is everything settled?" Tian Fang looked at the things on the floor and couldn't help but ask.With such a large amount of money, even the married people in the town are not so rich.

"Not yet, I didn't know that my uncle accepted all the gifts." Ye Xiaoan wanted to see if there was any room for redemption, so he said vaguely.

Tian Fang covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, it's a great thing to have your uncle make the decision for you! I saw him just now, but all his parents came, and he must also value you It's tight. When you get married, whoever dares to tell you behind his back will tear his mouth!"

Ye Xiaoan was speechless, just now Yang Jiaan had the same meaning inside and outside the words, as if this family came to propose marriage because he took a huge advantage.

"Don't believe it, this year has passed in a blink of an eye. Your uncle is far away, how many times can he care about you? This time, he is a good man, not a heartless person like your brother-in-law." Tian Fangjian His complexion was not very good, and he tried to persuade him earnestly.

&&&&&

The Zhou family went home satisfied, and told Zhou Nan how things went smoothly, and only let him wait for the marriage to come in with peace of mind.Zhou Nan's face was calm amidst his younger brother's jokes, and it was not until he went back to his room and lay on the bed that he felt a little joy from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know when the habit of taking a nap at noon was developed. Anyway, Chen Xidi said that since he came home, he would doze off after noon, and he could snore after rolling on the bed for half a quarter of an hour.But today, he didn't feel sleepy.After tossing and turning over a cup of tea, he simply turned over and sat up, opened the door and saw that there was no one in the main room, and ran out quickly.

Half an hour later, he had already appeared in Linxia Village.Because he was a stranger in the village, Zhou Nan deliberately chose a path.Unexpectedly, such a random choice made him break through some things that he had neglected before.

"His uncle really helped him find someone? Didn't the family hear about him? I used to think he was a pitiful one, but his temper was really tough. Didn't the day before yesterday say that he had no clear relationship with him on the mountain?" Several people sat Under the big tree by the roadside, they were busy with their work while exchanging news.

"Do you believe in this kind of shadowless thing? I think it was made up by others. You should stop talking about it." Another person with his head bowed heard the words.

"If it's not true, He Feng can speak vividly at such a young age? Maybe he really saw it." The person who spoke in front said again unconvinced.

……

Zhou Nanyin listened to all the disputes of these people from behind, until these people packed up their things and went home, and then left with a sullen face.
