General Hugh wants me to have a child: the pastoral life of a small four

This morning, Xiao Si was the same as usual. After breakfast, he went out with Li Jia, who was going to propose a marriage. They broke up at the head of the East Village. After picking up the medicinal materials, and carrying most of the heavy baskets of eggs that my father asked me to sell, I happily went to Lin Bo to announce the good news. The time was just before lunch, so it would be okay if the eggs were sold later.Xiaosi obediently lay on the counter, and greeted the old shopkeeper, "Hello, grandpa shopkeeper! Is my brother there?"

The old shopkeeper smiled kindly, and said, "Xiao Si is here, and your brother is here! Grandpa is calling for you!" He turned his head and gestured to the boy behind him.

Xiaosi stood aside with a smile and waited. Xiaosi liked the old shopkeeper very much. He heard from Lin Bo that the old shopkeeper was a man of knowledge and affection. He said that he had only been married once in his life, but the married husband was in a turmoil. After losing his life, the old shopkeeper lived alone all his life.Thinking of this Xiao Si always secretly saddened, people here are affectionate and simple, compared to those divorces in modern times, breaking up with a third party, it is much, much better, Xiao Si is really glad to be born here , although he didn't plan to marry or anything in his life, but living in the truth, kindness and beauty is much better than living in a place full of filth.

It took a while for Lin Bo to come late, Xiaosi watched from a distance, and when he walked in, he couldn't help asking suspiciously: "Second brother, why are you frowning, is there something wrong?"

Lin Bo frowned, turned his head and glanced at the old shopkeeper who was settling accounts, and pulled Xiao Si and said, "Go out and talk!"

Little Si didn't understand what was going on, so Ren followed his second brother and dragged him out the door. Lin Bo dragged Xiao Si to a small corner outside where there was no one, and after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth, "Little Si, Mr. The shopkeeper and the young master asked me to go to the front and learn how to make accounts from the old shopkeeper, as the second shopkeeper! I can't make up my mind?"

Xiao Si was stunned for a while, then couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth, and slapped the second brother hard on the heart with his fist, "Second brother, this is a good thing!"

"Hmm..." Lin Bo stretched out his hand to hold the aching chest that was hit by Xiao Si, and said with a groaning expression, "But, if you come out to learn the accountancy, wouldn't you throw away all the kitchen skills? "

Little Four blushed so much that iron was weak, he hopped and knocked Lin Bo hard on the head, and said angrily: "Second brother, you are so stupid, your craft is your own, you have learned everything you have learned. Can you still forget that the old shopkeeper and the young master accepted you as an apprentice in the front cabinet, but they gave you a lot of face, because they liked you, so there is no need to hesitate..."

Lin Bo scratched his head, what Xiaosi said was something he didn't expect, now that he thinks about it, it's right, if you want to get ahead, you can't stick your head in the kitchen, and you must grasp the things on the cabinet with one hand, with such a good opportunity, If you don't learn now, when will you wait!After thinking it over clearly, Lin Bo couldn't help but smile, and said eagerly: "Then, then I'll go and talk to the young master now!"

"Wait, wait, second brother, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry!" Xiao Si hurriedly pulled Lin Bo back and said, "Talk to me first, and then go!"

Lin Bo responded, calmed down, and couldn't help thinking that today was the day when Li Jia brought Xiao Si to the city to sell eggs, why Xiao Si came alone, and couldn't help asking: "Is there something wrong at home? Dad Why didn't I go into the city with you?"

Xiaosi waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay! It's big brother's good news is coming soon! Dad is going to propose marriage today!"

"Marriage proposal?" Lin Bo was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help becoming excited, "Really? He's the brother of the Jia family?"

"Of course, of course!" Xiao Si raised his head and said braggingly: "Little Si went out to fight against the two, if you had told me earlier, maybe the elder brother would have a baby now, so secretive, what a waste of time! "

"You can do it!" Lin Bo stretched out his hand and tapped Xiaosi's head, "Is this a sure thing?"

"It should be almost the same. Our family passed the unanimous vote, and Brother Xin also nodded. It depends on whether Brother Jia Yan agrees or not!" Xiaosi said as he stretched out his hand to drag the back basket behind him. The eggs are much heavier than his own herbs. !

Lin Bo didn't see Xiao Si's movements, and touched his chin and said, "Then if Dad doesn't go to the city, the eggs at home won't be fresh anymore if they don't sell them?"

"No, no, how could it be? Isn't it all behind my back?" Xiao Si answered angrily, this second brother really doesn't care about himself at all today.

"You're carrying it?" Lin Bo hastily reached out to remove the pannier from Xiaosi's body, "It's so heavy, you've been carrying it all the way into the city!"

While pressing his sore shoulder, Xiaosi shook his head and said, "My father and I walked to the East Village to divide the hand, and it was my father's back before!"

"That's heavy enough!" Lin Bo frowned and glanced at the hot sun behind him, "It's so hot, you might as well go find a place to sell it later, without heatstroke!"

Xiao Si waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, Dad doesn't usually go to town like this..."

"Abba!" Lin Bo interrupted Xiao Si's words with contempt, and glanced at Xiao Si's small body, "Can your body compare with Abba's?"

"Just for a while, it's okay!" Xiao Si pouted dissatisfiedly because she hated being treated like trash by her family.Lin Bo hugged the back basket, looked at the half-full basket of eggs, thought for a while and suddenly said: "Xiao Si, wait a moment, I'll ask the old shopkeeper if the restaurant accepts eggs!"

"Second Brother, Second Brother!" Xiao Si hastily pulled Lin Bo back, "Is this possible?"

"Why not," Lin Bo said as a matter of course: "Our chickens are free-range raised by your father and you. The eggs taste better than ordinary people's big ones. The shopkeeper knows better than me, so there must be no problem!"

"Ah?" Xiao Si was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't know that his own eggs would be so good. When he came back to his senses, he was already in the hall, and the second brother was talking about the eggs with the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper picked up one and looked at it, weighed it up and raised his head, saying: "These eggs are really good, Xiaosi, how many do you have?"

When Xiaosi heard the old shopkeeper's question, he immediately said: "This is what the family saved for seven or eight days, and there are still some at home that I can't bring!"

The old shopkeeper pondered for a while and said: "Xiaosi, from now on all your eggs will be sent here, how about I buy them at the market price! I want as much as I have!"

"Really?" Xiao Si raised the corner of his mouth and said, "How much do you want?"

The old shopkeeper nodded and said with a benevolent smile: "Yiyilou ordered two eggs before, but one of them quit this time, and I'm worried, how many eggs do you want! How about paying one bill at a time? The old shopkeeper touched Xiao Si's head kindly, and said, "Why don't you agree? Do you want to go back and ask your father and father!"

Xiao Si nodded excitedly, "No, no, I can make the decision, I can make the decision, I agree! I promise...hehehehehe..."

Xiaosi nodded with a smile, that handsome appearance, his smile was more like sunshine, which made people dazzled, Lin Bai and the old shopkeeper were all on the sidelines, and the corners of their mouths were raised. The happy brother laughing downstairs couldn't take his eyes off...

The eggs were sold smoothly, and the future whereabouts of the eggs was returned to the family. Xiaosi happily walked out of the satisfaction building, feeling extremely happy, and even the sun in the sky, which was about to cook people, felt pleasing to the eye up.After wandering around the city for a while, I bought [-] yuan of iced sour plum soup as usual, poured it into a small leather pot, and walked back leisurely.

Back at Xia's family, Xiaosi happily rushed into the courtyard, thinking of the main room to report the good news to everyone, the moment he entered the main room, there was a depressing atmosphere, which made Xiaosi even breathe a lot easier.

The eldest brother stood in front of Abba and Dad with his head bowed, unable to see his expression. The third brother, who was rarely at home on vacation, stood in the corner of the door with a sad expression on his face. Xiao Si stood at the door, a little puzzled, what's the matter, Dad went to propose a marriage and came back, shouldn't everyone be happy?what's up?

Xiao Si didn't dare to move rashly, turned around and ran to the kitchen, poured out the sour plum soup he had brought back, put it on a tray and sent it to the main room, Li Jia and Xia Yong couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw Xiao Si, Xiao Si stood by the side and didn't know why...

Xia Linsong suddenly raised his head, and said to the husband and wife sitting on the top seat: "Don't say anything, Dad, and you don't have to go anymore! My dear, I'm not married!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Siyi with red eyes. Eye, turned and ran out!

It was the first time Xiaosi saw his elder brother like this, he ran two steps to catch up, and was stopped by Li Jia when he reached the door.

"Don't go," Li Jia said with her head down, "Xiao Si, let him be alone for a while!"

Xiao Si turned around and looked at Li Jia, "What's wrong with Dad, what happened? Brother's marriage..."

"Your elder brother's marriage is blown!" Li Jia reached out to pick up the sour plum soup on the table and whispered.

"How come, why?" Xiaosi anxiously ran to Li Jia's side!

Li Jia raised her head and poured the sour plum soup into her mouth, "Why not?"

"No reason? Big Brother likes Brother Xin so much, why did you blow it up! There must be a reason, Dad said! You tell Xiao Si Xiao Si to find a way for you!" Xiao Si anxiously tugged at the hem of Li Jia's clothes.

Li Jia frowned and cupped Xiaosi's face in both hands, and raised the corners of his mouth forcefully, "You can't even think of this way, we have what the Jia family wants, but we can't afford it! We asked your elder brother's opinion, but he won't give it to you." , that's the end of the matter..." After finishing speaking, Li Jia tightly wrapped Xiao Si in her arms.

Xiao Si was leaning on her father's arms, although she didn't know what happened yet, Xiao Si had a faint premonition in her heart that the so-called thing must be related to her.

Li Jia didn't say anything, just patted Xiao Si on the shoulder twice and walked out!Xia Yong took the main seat for a while, and suddenly heaved a long sigh. In the quiet hall, Xiao Si only heard his father's sigh, full of helplessness. Not long after, Xia Yong got up and walked out of the hall.Xiao Si turned to look at him, Xia Yong just shook his head and walked out.

Xiaosi stayed where he was, and after a long while, he grabbed Lin Mao who was about to flee, "Third Brother! How did this happen? If Dad doesn't tell me, Dad doesn't tell me, just tell me." , you must know! Tell me..."

Lin Mao shook his head, and said helplessly, "You better not know, Xiao Si!"

Xiao Si pestered Lin Mao, "I want to know, you tell me, tell me?"

Lin Mao pushed Xiaosi away from wrapping his hands around him, "Shake your head, you can't say it, this matter has been decided, and the eldest brother has also approved it, and it won't change anything if I tell you, so don't ask."

After hearing Lin Mao's words, Xiaosi's mind flashed, and his heart sank. He reached out and grabbed Lin Mao, "Third Brother, does it have something to do with me!"

"Little Si!" Lin Mao softly called Xiao Si's name, frowning tightly, not wanting Xiao Si to continue talking.

Seeing Lin Mao's expression, Xiao Si knew that he had guessed right, "Third Brother, tell me, tell me, if you don't tell me, I'll ask Dad, if you don't tell me, I'll go to East Village to ask Brother Xin, What on earth is this for..." After finishing speaking, Xiao Si ran out.

Lin Mao stomped his feet and called Xiao Si to stop, "Little Si, don't go, I said, I said..."

Xiao Si walked to Lin Mao's side and listened to Lin Mao's babbling, "Xiao Si, you are young, you don't know, there was an unwritten wedding, since ancient times, poor people couldn't afford the dowry to marry my brother, Then there is the custom of exchanging husbands, which means that when there is an unmarried person in each family, you can marry the elder brother to the other party without dowry, and marry back to the elder brother of the other family, do you understand?"

Xiaosi looked up at Lin Mao in astonishment, "That's because, because the Jia family wants, wants..."

"It's just what you think!" Lin Mao said calmly, looking at Xiao Si's astonished expression, he gently patted Xiao Si's shoulder to comfort him, "Xiao Si, the Jia family doesn't want anything, as long as you, I will trade you for it." Dear, he agreed to the marriage..."
