Cross-country exchange

In a few days, everyone in Hexi Village knew about the engagement between the boy from the Xia family and Li Mo, the elder brother of the Li family from Li Zhuang. The door marriage is almost a certainty.

However, Cao Jingtian is the most envious and jealous.

The last time Cao's eldest son's marriage was sued because of his second son's matter, Cao Jingtian was still having a headache about the eldest son's marriage at this time.Unexpectedly, Xia Chengyou found a family for his boy instead, and it seems that they should get married in a few months.Both of his boys haven't found their elder brother yet, comparing them, it's even more unpleasant.

Cao Jingtian has been in a bad mood recently. Seeing himself, this incompetent second boy, dangling in front of his eyes every day, he couldn't help but say, "What are you doing now? You've been making yourself ashamed all day long. I'll let you go to the county town to do business with your elder brother , you don’t go, let you go to work in the fields, and you don’t go, what do you want to do? You look at Xia Yu, who is as old as you, and now she is engaged and can make money. Look at you again What do you look like, is there any brother who can take a fancy to you?"

Cao Bingchen hated being compared the most, but his father liked to compare Xia Xiaoyu with him, especially since he had just been beaten up by Xia Xiaoyu, and he was suffocating in his stomach. He stood aside and contradicted, "Father, am I your real kid? Why do you talk to Xia Xiaoyu every time? If he is really that good, you can just snatch him back and raise him as a kid."

Cao Bingchen was stimulated by Cao Jingtian's words, he ran out of the house angrily, walked aimlessly, and walked out of the village unconsciously.

"Comparing me with someone like Xia Xiaoyu all day long, how can that kid compare to me?" Cao Bingchen cursed angrily, remembering what his father said just now, somehow aroused a wave of dissatisfaction in his heart Son.

"Li Mo."

Cao Bingchen stood at the entrance of Lizhuang Village and waited for a long time before he found the person he wanted to see.

The elder brother of the Li family has just finished working in the field and is preparing to go home to cook for his grandma and Li Yong.Unexpectedly, when he heard a familiar voice, Li Mo said pleasantly, "Brother Chen."

Cao Bingchen hadn't seen Li Mo for a long time. When he was a child, when his uncle was still there, his grandma would often bring him back to visit relatives.Now that his uncle is gone, he rarely returns to Lizhuang.He remembered that the last time he saw Li Mo was when his uncle passed away, taking care of the house and belongings left by his uncle. At that time, Li Mo's height was not up to his shoulders. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Li Mo grew taller Yes, and people are getting more and more handsome.

"I heard that your grandma found a family for you, and the other party is from the same village as mine, Li Mo, is it true?" Cao Bingchen stared at Li Mo's profile, when he heard Xia Yu's engagement When the elder brother was called Li Mo, he still regarded them as two people with the same name and surname.

There was no expression on Li Mo's face, he just said, "Well, grandma found it for me, we got engaged a few days ago."

"you like him?"

Li Mo raised his head and gave Cao Bingchen a complicated look, "Brother Chen, why did you suddenly return to Lizhuang today?"

Cao Bingchen sighed, "I couldn't believe it when I heard about your engagement in the village, so I came here to see if that brother named Li Mo is you."

Li Moqian laughed a few times, "I can't believe it. When my brother reaches my age, he will find someone to entrust to him. Brother Chen should marry him too."

Cao Bingchen immediately shook his head and sighed, "No, Dad has been urging me to marry my brother, and even arranged several for me, but I refused."

"Why, don't those guys like Brother Chen?"

Cao Bingchen looked back at Li Mo deeply, and said bitterly after a long time, "Don't you understand why I rejected so many brothers?"

Li Mo was a little unnatural to be looked at by such a straightforward gaze, so he simply turned his head away, feeling a little more apprehensive in his heart, his heart beating a little inexplicably, "I, how would I know."

Seeing that there was no one around, Cao Bingchen immediately took Li Mo's hand, and said affectionately: "Li Mo, have you forgotten that when you were young, you told me that you would be with me forever when you grow up, I always remember , and you, have you forgotten me for so many years?" He suddenly thought of something, and immediately shook off the opponent's hand, "That's right, you are already engaged to that bastard Xia Yu, how can you still remember me?"

"Brother Chen, I—" Li Mo thought of his grandma and younger brother at home, and felt distressed.

After owning a carving knife, Xia Yu was excited for several days. He became more involved in carving small things like wooden combs. The patterns carved with a round knife are more realistic than before, and they look vivid and very beautiful.

He thought, if he could gather a set of carving knives for wood carving, he would need to gather at least nine taels of silver.Xia Yu secretly set a deadline for himself, at most one month, he must have a complete set of carving tools, only in this way can he bring his carving level to the extreme, and then he can really carve middle and top-grade objects.

Every time he went to the county seat, Xia Yu would go to the handicraft workshop to take a look. The more times he went, he became acquainted with Feng Yang, a servant of Mr. Feng's family.

"Master Xia, do you have any new ones like last time? If so, try to get another set for our young master."

Feng Yang almost saw him ask this sentence every time, as if he was sure that he had the source of goods in his hand.Xia Yu shook his head and refused every time. Rare things are more expensive, and when there are too many things, the price will drop, "Feng Yang, if I have them, I will definitely send them to you. But what is your son doing recently, I have been here several times Never saw him once."

Seeing that there were customers in the store, Feng Yang beckoned and asked Xia Yu to come over, and then he leaned into Xia Yu's ear and said, "Don't you know? Every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, our young master will go to a treasure appraisal meeting on time. Last time My son took the set of patterned wooden combs you sent and won a nickname. When my master was happy, he rewarded my young master with a statue of Buddha. That's why my young master asked me to inquire with you, and No, if there is, it will be recovered at a high price."

Xia Yu thought so, but as he expected, although this single item is not worth much, the value of the whole suit cannot be compared.

If he comes out with a whole set of sculptures of the twelve zodiac signs, I don't know how much it will be worth.

"Appraisal Society? When will your young master come back? I still have a business here and I want to talk to him."
