Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

When Zhou Nan came to Ye's house, he only saw Ye Youping repairing the door of the old house.These two houses are more than 40 years old, and the roof, doors and windows are seriously damaged, but they are not willing to demolish them for the time being, and they will repair them when they have time.

Zhou Nan had already inquired about Ye Xiaoan's situation clearly, and was very grateful to this brother who defended him, but when he thought that the other party was difficult to talk to, he was at a loss for a while.He stood silently by the side for a long time, until Ye Youping turned his head to pick up the wooden board behind him, only then did he realize his existence, looked at him with wide eyes, and then happily gestured.

His gesticulations didn't look complicated, but Zhou Nan was at a loss.Fortunately, Ye Youping also noticed his strangeness, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, obviously very satisfied with him.Only then did Zhou Nan heave a sigh of relief, and simply bent down to beat and repair it with him.After they worked together to fix half of the door, the distance between the two of them felt a lot closer.

"Brother, I'm back." Ye Xiaoan called out from a distance before he got home, although he knew that his brother might not be able to hear him, but he was used to coming in and out to say hello.

Before he went out, Ye Youping was messing with things in the old house, so he went straight there when he came back.He himself has no feelings for these two houses, but Ye Youping attaches great importance to them.But this time the first thing he saw was not Ye Youping, but another slender figure holding a hammer.

Seeing that he was back, Ye Youping stopped asking Zhou Nan to help, and pushed them into the new house.Many marriages of peasant families are in the same village, and they usually look down and see each other, and there is no saying that they cannot meet before they get married.

"Why are you here again?" Ye Xiaoan couldn't show a shy expression like ordinary brothers even though he had already considered that he might be his marriage partner.

"I'll drop by to see if your house is missing anything." Zhou Nan knew from his tone that he had acquiesced in getting married. Looking out the window, he felt that the sun was brighter than usual today.

"It turns out that everything is missing, but I see everything in the box sent by your family. Do you want to take it back when you get married?" Ye Xiaoan pointed to the boxes still on the ground, most of which had been opened and checked by him. up.These "betrothal gifts" are really strange, and all food and clothing are stuffed inside.

"No, no, you can take it out and use it." Actually, some people would add things from their husband's family to their brother's gift, but Zhou's family knew their situation, so it was a bit awkward to send these things over at that time. It took a lot of thought.

Ye Xiaoan still couldn't figure out the use of some objects inside, so he simply turned them all out.Zhou Nan occasionally explained to him by his side, and the two got along very naturally.

"I heard that there was a lot of excitement in the town today, and the list of the county examination was posted. Do you know about this?" After packing the two boxes upside down, Ye Xiaoan recalled his doubts at noon.

"I heard someone talking about it on the road. But the list of the county examination is not a secret, wouldn't it be more convenient to post it?" Zhou Nan helped him put things away in different categories, as if he didn't care about it at all.

"Convenience is convenience, but it's a bad thing for some people." When I went to Tian Dazhuang's house to give money just now, I heard someone imitating the sound of Ye Hefeng being beaten and crying, teaching my boy to go to school.

"If you don't do something bad, how can this become a bad thing." Zhou Nan snorted coldly, if it wasn't for not wanting to fight with a half-child, he wouldn't be bothered to spend so much effort, and a sap could wake him up halfway.

The news that Zhou Nan and Ye Xiaoan were getting married quickly spread.The people in Linxia Village saw someone bring the gift with their own eyes. Although there were not many people who recognized the Zhou family and his wife at that time, there were also people who often walked outside.Then someone inquired about the situation of the Zhou family, and they were secretly surprised to learn that the Ye family had joined such a big family.

Of course, there are also people who are not optimistic about this. The relationship between Ye Xiaoan and the other three brothers is obvious to all. In the end, following the dumb fourth brother is destined to be a poor farmer.And Zhou Nan is not a farmer, and a businessman who seeks out opportunities is the most worthless in front of the official.What's more, businessmen are black-hearted, and since ancient times, they have valued profit over separation. How can people feel at ease if a man is not at home to guard?

No matter what others say, this marriage is already a certainty, and the date is set on March [-]th.Tangqiao Town also has this unwritten custom. If you get married after the new year, the date is usually before March [-].After this day, every family is in a hurry for the work in the field. If someone comes to buy wine, it is considered very uninteresting.

The etiquette and laws of the Xingshi Dynasty were very complicated, but they were not so particular when they fell into the small town of Tangqiao.Families living a tight life even have things like changing relatives.Ye Xiaoan originally planned to take a part of the things sent by the Zhou family as a wedding gift, and the cloth, jewelry and other things in it were decent enough.But Ye Youping insisted on refusing, and made him a big box with his own hands, and took the six ingots of silver ingots gifted by the Zhou family to the town to exchange them for finger-sized silver beans and sprinkled them on the bottom of the box.Half of the four bolts of good cloth were made into clothes by Tian Fang, and the rest was pressed back into the bottom of the dowry box. In the end, he used the money left over from building their house to ask someone to make three large quilts.

When Sun Yalin took the prepared wedding dress and prepared it for Ye Xiaoan's wedding ceremony, they had already packed it up, and there was nothing to be picky about.He could only sigh that although Ah Ping couldn't speak, his heart was bright.Although it is true that all the money belongs to the Zhou family, even if it is his own father, few are willing to give it all up.

"Your fourth brother is sincere enough to you. If life is easy in the future, don't forget to help him. A rough man needs someone to take care of him." Sun Yalin pulled Ye Xiaoan aside and said quietly.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know how my elder brother treats me." Ye Youping was his benefactor for him to be reborn in this place.What's more, the original owner's memory has the deepest affection for this elder brother, and he has truly regarded him as an elder brother.

Seeing that he spoke sincerely, Sun Yalin nodded in relief.In the end, I added two silver hairpins to tie his hair and three quilts made by himself, and sent a letter to the eldest brother in Sunjiacun, and then rushed back to brew wine for his son.

Ye Xiaoan had never been married in his two lifetimes, seeing them busy as if they were enemies, he couldn't tell what it was like for a moment.However, the other three brother-in-law did not come to the door even once, to his surprise, as if Ye Xiaoan's marriage had nothing to do with them.He just thought that they were saving some face for him anyway, and he was ashamed to show his shame.But they didn't know that if they came to the door at this time, they would definitely not lose a gift, they just didn't want to spend the money.As for the things they sent, they never thought that Ye Youping would be willing to return so much.

Not to mention what people here think of Ye Xiaoan's marriage, Zhou Nan's marriage also caused a storm in Baoping Village.They watched Zhou Nan grow up when they were young, so they naturally knew more about his family's situation and his character.Not to mention how many fields he bought, even that appearance is rare.Being filial to your father and taking care of your younger brother is obvious to all.

At that time, Chen Xidi just let out the rumor that he wanted to find him a brother to head the house, and he attracted countless people to his door. Unfortunately, he went to Annan City for two consecutive years to do business.Now brothers who are about the same age as him even have children, and the few people who have a little grudge against his family because they can't get married also look away.Now that he is going to marry a younger brother from another village, most people are also curious.I don't know what kind of person made him nod his head, and he decided to get married so quickly?

As the head of the Zhou family who is about to marry a brother and start, the Zhou family is naturally even more busy without touching the ground.Zhou Bei was young and inexperienced. Fortunately, Zhou Lekang and his younger brother and his family could help.But at this time, Zhou Nan's younger uncle, Qi Diwei, was dragged away by a younger brother who dared not go to his elder brother's house.

"Uncle, you promised to help me..." He Shiming begged unwillingly, clutching Qi Diwei's hem tightly and refusing to let go.

"Brother Ming, what can you do if you let people see you like this? It's not that uncle didn't tell you, but Xiao Nan never let go. Since he has already fixed the date of marriage, you should think about what your father said! "Qi Diwei was so entangled with him that his head was getting bigger. I have never seen such a bold little brother. After just one look, he would come to the door and ask him to make a match.In the past two years, he has suffered a lot.

"Uncle, if you go find him again, I'll tell him, okay? The brother Chen Momo told him is not a good guy at all, you can find out by asking around! They must have been cheated!" He Shiming never expected that Zhou Nanqian would finally agree to marry someone else, and even asked someone to inquire about the situation.

Qi Diwei was taken aback, and said with a stern face: "Brother Ming, don't talk nonsense like this. If you don't obey me again, I will send you home tonight." He knew that Chen Xidi was concerned about Zhou Nan's marriage. What a joy, if those words are listened to by caring people, it will be ugly.

"Why can't I say it? I want to tell Chen Mo..." He Shiming yelled almost losing his mind.

"Uncle, are you still busy at home? Why don't you come over and help me..." Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Zhou Nan stood outside the house and said calmly.

Only then did Qi Diwei think of rushing to their house to help, but He Shiming's nonsense delayed his time.Although Zhou Nan's expression was normal, he was not sure if he heard what he just said.

"It's not busy, I'll be there right away." Qi Diwei didn't dare to ask directly, and finally pulled He Shiming away ruthlessly, trying to lock him in the room.

"I want to talk to Brother Zhou Nan! Brother Zhou Nan..." He Shiming knew that his uncle was already angry, but he didn't care about other things when Zhou Nan was right in front of him, and rushed forward to rush towards Zhou Nan.

"Brother Ming!" Qi Diwei felt extremely ashamed, not to mention his relatives, even his family always obeyed his elder brother's words.What's more, the eldest brother's two children, one can make money and the other can make a fuss, he also tried his best to win him over.He had already created an opportunity for them to meet, but Zhou Nan would not have rejected him so completely if he had any thoughts on Brother Ming.

"Uncle, we are waiting for you, go!" Zhou Nan took a step aside to avoid He Shiming, and looked at him coldly.

Qi Diwei was so urged that he had no choice but to say: "Xiao Nan, let's go together, just ignore him."

"Let's go first, uncle, I can catch up with you." Zhou Nan answered him, making He Shiming very happy: "You also want to stay and talk to me, right? That Ye Xiaoan really..."

"I don't want to hear anything from you." Qi Diwei had walked several steps away before Zhou Nan lowered his head and said, "Don't get close to us when you see us in the future, or I'll find a hundred people to write about you as a bulletin board and post it. , making you unable to get married in the entire Annan City."
