Although he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Shi Zhu was unwilling to let go and go to town.Qiuming couldn't do anything about him. If he really got stubborn, how many fathers could fight their children?

Lying on the bed at night, Qiuming couldn't help complaining to her husband again: "You don't care about him as a father, you just let me make him complain. He doesn't want to go to town, what is he thinking? Isn’t the town better than the village? It’s said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. He’s been here all his life as a farmer, and he doesn’t have any brothers to help him, so what will he do in the future?”

Father Zhao put his arm around his shoulder and smiled wryly. When Shizhu was three or four years old, because of his poor health, he was reluctant to be beaten and scolded. That's why Shizhu is not afraid of him at all.But it was too late to talk about it now, so he said: "He is not yet ten years old, is it too young to be sent as an apprentice? Those shopkeepers are not easy to deal with, if you suffer, is it not for you? Or talk about it in a few years!"

"But now that my brother has opened his mouth, there may not be such an opportunity in a few years..." Qiuming also thought that he was a little younger, and he hadn't done serious work in the fields!But at least there is still a family member looking after it, and if I want to go there in a few years, I may have to find a store to take it in by myself.

"My brother is just working as a buddy for others now, and I can give you some news. How can I take care of him then? I know you are afraid that he will suffer hardships in farming, but there is no need to rush to find a way for him now. Speaking of it I do have an idea..."

"What's your idea?" Qiuming Momo turned sideways at this moment and asked seriously.

"If we let him become an apprentice now, why don't we earn a few more years, and when he grows up, we can rent a room for him in the town and start a serious business?" Father Zhao has a different idea, and being an apprentice for others is not easy, It's better to open a shop by yourself, and you can earn as much as you want.

"You put it lightly. How can our family afford that money? Didn't we say that we will buy cattle in two years!" Their family's land is not small, and their life was not very good when they were dragged down by their mothers a few years ago. .Now the family of three eats and drinks less than other families, and both of them are quick-working people, so they have saved some money.

"Can't we finish the work in the field now? If we let him plant the land for a few years first, he will know that life is not easy. After a few years, find him a smarter brother, so we can make a good plan to go to town. The business?" Zhao's father obviously had a longer-term view, both of them were still young, if Shizhu went to the town, the fields would not be lost.There is a brother to take care of him, so the couple feel more at ease.

"Let's talk about it. I'll go and reply to my brother tomorrow first, so that he can find someone else earlier." Since Shizhu was unwilling, Qiuming had no choice but to give up.But he thought about it, and couldn't help but said: "What do you think is wrong with him? I used to be very happy just taking him to the market, but now I don't want to."

"He's uncertain now, maybe he wants to play with Daniel and the others?" Father Zhao said casually.

"Why is he still playing with Daniel? He runs to Zhang's house every day. The boy from the other family doesn't see his brother as nervous..." Qiuming said this, and suddenly felt something was wrong. Isn't the wheat he often looks for? Dude!He used to dislike playing with his brother the least, has it completely changed in the past few months?

But thinking about how Mai Mai went to school from the village every day, he could only sigh: "I think Mai Mai is also very good, but now that his house has been built, and he can read and write, maybe he will get to know him in the future." What kind of family..."

With this thought in mind, and thinking about other brothers of the same age, I actually feel that none of them are as good as him.

----

Fulai's elder brother is from the Li family, and he has always been acquainted with Dashun.His family's situation was worse than that of Fulai's, so he must have brought no accompanying gifts.But there are two sons in the family, and now it's the first time to marry, Dashun doesn't want to be too shabby.If someone finds the wrong place to say it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to say brother after Gui comes here.

Although the family's money is tight, fortunately, he started to prepare one after another half a year ago, and now he is doing decently.Now that I have a tael of silver borrowed by Zhang Xiaoliu, I have been thinking about it for a long time.The day before the auspicious day, I invited a wine rich man to my brother's house to bring a gift, so I added two bolts of cloth and four-color candy to the gift list.There is also some dissatisfaction with the original dishes, so I added some money to change them as soon as possible.

Everything was settled three days before the marriage. Fu Lai spent the day before the auspicious day at his brother's house, and only returned home the next morning in the morning light. When the auspicious time came, he greeted his brother at the door.

It was the first time for Zhang Xiaoliu to see someone get married here, so he passed by early that day and watched the whole event.Looking at the happy and childish newlyweds surrounded by them, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that it was too early to marry.

People here don't have many etiquettes when they get married. After offering tea to their parents, the newlyweds recognize their relatives one by one in the hall and accept the relatives' meeting gift.More than half an hour later, Dashun led them to shuttle among the guests, allowing the newcomers to mingle with the guests, which also indicated that they would be able to speak and act independently in the future, and interacting with the villagers would no longer be a child's status.

Organizing a wedding is really hard work, and the people who came to have a drink gradually dispersed, Zhang Xiaoliu looked at Dashun's tired face, and took the initiative to stay to clean up the aftermath.This busy work didn't really take time to go home after it got dark and was stayed for dinner again.

Zhao Zhengze and Xiaomai Xiaosong knew that he had been helping for a day, so they didn't bother him, and told him to go to rest early.He slept until dawn, and didn't wake up until the voice of Lai Fulai calling him came from outside the door.

"Fulai, why is it so early?" Zhang Xiaoliu came out after finishing her hair in the room. Now that the room is bigger, several people have their own space, and a mirror is also available.

Today is the second day of Fulai's marriage. The couple will offer sacrifices to the gods and serve tea.As a younger brother, Fulai should also meet his elder brother at home.

"It's still early, the hour is almost over." Fulai had been waiting for him in the hall for a while, and couldn't help but stare at his words.

"Huh, it's so late?" Zhang Xiaoliu was a little surprised, although he would sleep until he woke up naturally as long as he had nothing to do on weekdays.But the natural awakening here is usually also at Maoshi.

"I didn't come out until I had breakfast at home." Fulai knew that he was drowsy at a glance, and couldn't help being envious.If he had slept in Maoshi, he would have to scold him.Is that brother? I woke up at three o'clock this morning.

"Then you wait here first, I'll go wash up first." Zhang Xiaoliu was used to washing up first thing after getting up every day, so she said to Fulai.

"Okay, you have to hurry up." Fu Lai held back his words and counted the stone slabs in the courtyard.

Zhang Xiaoliu went to the kitchen to fetch water first, only then did he realize that it was really too late today.Mai Mai has already gone to school, and the porridge left for him is still hot in the pot.The sound of Zhao Zhengze and Xiaosong chopping firewood could be faintly heard outside, it seemed that they had already eaten.Thinking of this, I felt a little ashamed.Since he got sick, he has become more and more lazy. Both Zhao Zhengze and Mai Mai finished their work first, and now he is getting up later and later, and they will not leave him any work.

Because Fulai was waiting outside, he hurriedly cleaned himself up first, and then went out with porridge to talk to Fulai.

"What's worth your haste to come here?" Zhang Xiaoliu was always unrestrained when he was at home, so he moved a stool and sat next to Fulai.

"Hey, I thought you were also very curious about my brother, so I came to your house early." Fulai frowned after hearing what he said, thinking that when the people from brother's family came to see each other, they were outside Can't even tiptoe.He wanted to come and share, but Zhang Xiaoliu was not curious at all.

"Didn't you see it when you were drinking yesterday? Your brother is so handsome, haven't you seen enough?" The porridge has probably been left for a while, and it is warm enough to eat at this time.Zhang Xiaoliu drank half a bowl in one go before accepting Fulai's words.

"It seems that I have seen it a long time ago. I mean his temper-did you talk to him yesterday?" Fu Lai waved his hand.

"No, how can I say that." The newcomer first greeted the elders. Although he got several smiling faces, he really didn't have a serious conversation with Li.

"Haha, he made breakfast for us this morning - he even gave me this while having tea!" He raised his hand to pick out the silver lock originally hidden in his underwear, and said happily.

Zhang Xiaoliu laughed when he saw it, no wonder he was in a good mood today, which was completely different from the low mood of the previous few days.He is really a child, happy and worried, and easily satisfied.

"Your brother is quite generous. Why, are you not afraid that he will abuse you now?" It seems that one day last month, Fulai, who had been looking forward to Mrs. Li's entry, somehow heard about other family's affairs, and unexpectedly He also began to worry that the brother who came in was not easy to get along with, so he came to Zhang Xiaoliu with a bitter face.Now it is just taking what happened to him before to make fun of him.

"I just said it casually, but I didn't really worry about it. I don't eat with my brother, how can he abuse me?" Fulai raised his head and said loudly.

I gave my younger brother a silver lock, which is considered a big deal in the countryside.What's more, the gift to father must not be lighter than this, and Mrs. Li is also a caring person.

"Anyway, don't worry now. I think he has a good temper. In the future, someone at home will help you with work." The newcomer yesterday was not easy, but Li Shi was smiling from beginning to end. favor.

"No, he kicked me out of the kitchen in the morning... Oh, I won't tell you, he also said he was going to do the laundry, or if he knew that I came to play and left all the work to him, he would scold me .” Fu Lai slapped his head, originally he wanted to come and say a few words with Brother Liu and leave, but he forgot after waiting for a while.

"Go quickly, call your brother to play with me when you have time at noon." It's not surprising that you come and go like this when you have something to do on weekdays, and Zhang Xiaoliu didn't keep him, and hurried out after hearing what he said .
