Take the space to flirt with the daughter-in-law

Because of tossing and turning all night, the two of them felt sleepy when they met the next day.

Xu Yaoshi looked at the big dark circles on Xu Zhengrong's face, and then at Ah Shui's, and couldn't help asking in surprise: "You two went out to be thieves last night? Why are you so tired all of you?" ?!"

Ah Shui and Xu Zhengrong looked at each other, with a little secret hidden in their hearts, and even the corners of their brows had a sweet taste: "Sister-in-law, do less business today, Ah Shui and I have other things to do." Busy, ignore the stall for now."

How could the twists and turns in the young man's heart be concealed from Xu Yaoshi, who came here? She lowered her head and did the delicate work at hand, and asked after a long while: "You guys are gone, if that rascal from the Yang family comes to the door again What should I do if I come to smash the stall? Kidouer and I can't stop him!"

Xu Zhengrong replied with a smile: "That's okay, I'll go and say hello to the pharmacy owner, he has some people in this old street, when the time comes, let his subordinates watch, if Yang Chang dares to move his face closer , I will let him know what it feels like to have a swollen face!"

What he said was fierce, Xu Yaoshi was relieved a little, and secretly glanced at Ah Shui who was waiting not far away: "Go, go, don't let my brother wait too long."

This time it's not about sneaking out, but going out on a date in a fair and square manner.

When Ah Shui first walked side by side with Xu Zhengrong on the street, he was still a little uncomfortable. He kept his palms tightly tucked into his cuffs, and after walking for a short distance, he slowly relaxed.

It was at this time that Xu Zhengrong gently held Ah Shui with his own hand, and he plausibly said, "Let's walk hand in hand, so that it won't be easy to find if we get separated."

Early in the morning, apart from the residents who went out to buy vegetables, there are no other people on the street, no matter how hard you walk, you won’t get lost, okay?

However, this kind of complaints, Ah Shui just said silently in his heart that he could clearly feel the warmth coming from Brother Xu's palm steadily. how?As long as Brother Xu is happy!

Xu Zhengrong thought that his small actions would make Ah Shui feel ashamed, but he didn't expect the little brother to be so courageous this time.

After all, the ancient streets are not as prosperous as the modern ones. Xu Zhengrong compared several cloth shops and picked two high-quality fabrics for the little brother. One was made of low-key and elegant materials, while the other was It's red.

The shopkeeper who sold the cloth saw that it was a big business, and immediately greeted him with a smile, "Are you two newcomers here to buy new clothes?"

Ah Shui's face was flushed, but he didn't lower his head in a hurry when he was asked like before. He showed a small smile, and the shallow dimples were full of happiness. He secretly glanced at Xu Zhengrong Seeing Brother Xu fondly touching the fabric, he replied meekly: "Yes, we have an appointment to get married after autumn, so I came here to take a look."

This is the first time that the shopkeeper has seen such an active brother. Xu Guo's etiquette is not as harsh on the little brother as a woman, but it is not much different. No one talks behind the scenes in free love, like Ah Shui and Xu Zheng It is rare for Rong to be so intimate.

Sticking greasy crookedly together, he picked up a lot of things for the next job, and when the afterglow of the sun slanted down and elongated the figure, Xu Zhengrong weighed the big and small things in his hands, feeling extremely happy up.

He even started to think silently, after the autumn harvest, he would buy a small house with the silver taels exchanged for wine making, so that the two of them and a dog could live happily under one roof, which would be considered carefree.

The days passed very quickly, and when the two of them leisurely continued to do business, they transported the small objects that could be carried home one by one and put them at home, and the autumn harvest day arrived without any hassle.

The weather in Xu country is not much different from that of later generations. At least in Qingxi Township, there is still a clear division of spring, summer, autumn and winter throughout the year, but in comparison, the winter here is longer.

Before the long winter comes, there is nearly two months of autumn harvest, which is also the busiest season for farmers. The so-called autumn harvest is also called rush harvest. Before a snow falls, try to harvest all the grain back to the warehouse to avoid losses.

Compared with the busyness of the farmers, the sea passengers returning from overseas on the pier are much more leisurely. Although it was in ancient times, the country of Xu had very strict laws and regulations. Around the middle of the autumn harvest, the fishing boats that went out to sea Long-distance voyages are not allowed, and because of this, the flow of people on the old street is several times higher than usual.

Xu Zhengrong had already searched for several wine shops before the autumn harvest, and according to the original rules, borrowed places to sell wine and then share it.

He didn't make the medicinal wine well, so he specially reserved a batch of mulberry wine and green plum wine to give to the shop owner. The business acumen of the drug shop owner is still good. Once the signboard of "Strengthening the Kidney and Healthy Mulberry Wine" was sold, he came to buy it every day. There are too many wine guests.

The eldest and second child of the Xu family wanted to come over to help sell wine, but there was still rice in the fields that needed to be harvested. Not only did they not help Xu Zhengrong, but Xu Zhengrong was asked to take time off to work in the fields.

Kidou'er is the happiest. He takes a few friends to the fields to pick up leftover rice. If he is lucky, he can collect a handful of soybeans or peanuts, roast them on the fire, and pop them out. The fragrance is not to mention how attractive.

Ah Shui's family does not have any land, and has been relying on going to the mountains to exchange money to barely make ends meet.

Nowadays, because of Xu Zhengrong's business in the town, Ah Shui goes to the mountains less and less often. For this reason, Mammy often complains secretly in private, thinking that Xu Zhengrong has robbed the little brother's Note that Xu Zhengrong often rolled his eyes.

On this day, the autumn harvest was coming to an end, and many people had closed their work, and began to go to the town to buy clothes and firewood for the winter, and everyone slowly relaxed.

It was from this time that Xu Zhengrong transported the large dowry gifts selected in the town back to the village in ox carts one after another.

The bullock carts passed by again and again, filled with a lot of objects, but they were covered by layers of red cloth. The villagers sat under the big locust tree and stretched their necks to watch, feeling surprised It's incredible.

On the one hand, he was envious of Xu Zhengrong's sudden prosperity, and on the other hand, he was envious of Ah Shui's good fortune. He was only hired by a little brother, but he could have such a big fight.

They also faintly heard rumors that Xu Zhengrong started a wine business in the old street, and judging from the situation in front of him, he should have made a lot of money.

The ox cart was very bumpy, and it had been transported for several days. The main room of the Xu family was full of betrothal gifts. Xu Zhengcai, who was rarely leisurely, sat on the threshold, took a puff of dry tobacco with great enjoyment, exhaled a smoke ring, and then leisurely asked Xu Zhengrong: "Is everything ready? When are you going to come to propose marriage?"

And sharp eyebrows warned: "Ah Shui is a good brother, you can't treat him badly!"

Xu Zhengrong was busy counting things, so he responded with a few words perfunctorily: "Choose a good day to come to propose marriage another day, bro, you can go with me, Ah Shui doesn't know my plan yet, this is Surprise him!"

Ah Shui is simple in nature, and rarely understands the world, so he doesn't ask much for the dowry, and the nanny doesn't ask much, as long as Xu Zhengrong treats his brother well. The elders went to Ah Shui's house in a mighty way with the dowry, but they scared the nanny and Ah Shui very much.

There were many things piled up on an ox cart, which was always covered with a red cloth. A fat matchmaker with big red flowers around her body jumped out of the cart nimbly when she saw the nanny coming out of the house, and walked all the way away. He shouted congratulations at the top of his voice.

Ah Shui heard from Xu Zhengrong that he was going to come to propose marriage at the end of the autumn harvest, but he didn't expect Brother Xu to come so suddenly and make such a big gesture.

I was at a loss and panicked at the door, not knowing what to do.

He was stunned, but Xu Zhengrong didn't hesitate at all. After all, he had waited for a season to propose a marriage proposal. It was a rare event in life, so of course he had to take it seriously.

So, wearing new clothes, the energetic man walked forward in five steps at a time. Before he stepped into the courtyard of Ah Shui's house, he lifted up his robe and knelt down respectfully.

Kneeling down in front of Mammy without saying anything, the three successive ringings of the head showed extraordinary sincerity.

Mammy stood at the door with her cane on her crutches, her mouth twitched, although she said she was the man she liked, but she rushed up to marry his family Ah Shui in such a hurry... There was always a slight feeling of displeasure in her heart.

It was as if the juicy Chinese cabbage that had been raised for so many years was suddenly destroyed by something...

The villagers who came to watch the excitement didn't know what the old mama was thinking. Seeing that Xu Zhengrong gave a heavy betrothal gift and kowtowed, everyone praised her.

"Oh, I was not optimistic about this couple in the past. I didn't expect that the youngest son of the Xu family would actually make a fortune in this feng shui turn! Sending so many betrothal gifts to a little brother, this is enough face!"

"Who said it wasn't the case? The old mother adopted her kindly back then, and now she is considered a good person with good rewards. Will Xu Zhengrong treat her badly in the future?"

Mammy knew what they said was right, and it was indeed rare for Xu Zhengrong to do this, but she was always in conflict.

She just gave Xu Zhengrong a faint sideways glance, stomped on her crutches, and snorted softly: "What are you doing standing there in the doorway? Come in quickly!"

Ah Shui had already hid in the house shyly, but he was thinking about Xu Zhengrong in his heart. Although he hid in the house, he still couldn't help but secretly peeked out the window.

Xu Zhengrong waited and waited, afraid that something might go wrong, he pushed A'hua's butt and asked A'hua to go out for him to have a look.

Ah Hua swept her tail vigorously, glanced lazily at the little master, and after a "bark", she moved her legs lightly, and slipped outside to find out about Ah Shui's situation.
