The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 369 The first marriage proposal, the heroine Xiaobaicai (5)

Mo Qingze smiled helplessly, tapped her forehead with his index finger, and repeated it again.

 Get engaged?

Mo Yan stared at Mo Qingze motionlessly as if struck by lightning, but the words Xiao Ruiyuan told her before leaving came to mind. One of them was - Don't get engaged before I come back, you know? Even if your father forces you, it won’t work!

 Um, why do you think of that person again? It must be that what he said that day was too domineering and frightened her. Well, that must be the case!

 Suppressing the impatience in her heart, Mo Yan patted her hot cheek in a panic. Seeing her father looking at her with a smile, she knew that he mistakenly thought she was shy.

Then should she run away pretending to be shy, or should she lower her head and pull the corners of her clothes to express her opinion shyly?

It’s just that her acting skills weren’t good enough and she really couldn’t look coy, so she raised her head and looked directly at her father, and said seriously: “Dad, I’m still young and I don’t want to get married so early!”

Mo Qingze smiled and said, "It's just about getting engaged first. If you don't want to get married earlier, you can wait two years later until you are seventeen."

 Seventeen years old is only a high school student! Mo Yan screamed crazily in her heart, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Dad, this is too sudden. I really don't want to get engaged so early!"

When Mo Qingze heard this, he disapproved and said: "It's getting late. Most of the girls' families get married before they get hairpins, and there are many who get married after they get hairpins! If it is delayed for too long, all good men of the right age will be married. Someone picked it off!”

He still prefers to find a son-in-law in the academy. If nothing else, he still has some talent. Especially the few students he was interested in had already gained the reputation of being scholars at a young age, and there were many people who wanted to follow them. Even if he tried to convince others, they might not be able to succeed. Even if his appearance is good enough, he is more than good enough for those people.

Seeing that Mo Qingze was determined to get engaged before she got pregnant, Mo Yan had to stop him, lest his father would take a fancy to someone and make a bet for her when the time came. There would be no place to cry. .

“Dad, there are still a lot of things to do at home, so let’s put this matter aside for now and wait until I get older, okay?”

Mo Qingze saw how repulsive she was, so he thought about it and agreed.

 First of all, those few people need to be carefully investigated. Secondly, when he passes the examination for Juren or even Jinshi, he will have greater certainty and wider options. In short, the son-in-law you find will definitely make your daughter happy and worry-free for the rest of her life.

Mo Yan didn't know that Mo Qingze was worried about the rest of her life, so her father didn't mention it again, so she quickly went to the orchard with him. At this time, all the bare leaves of the fruit seedlings have fallen off, leaving only circles of straw ropes tied to the trunk.

The Tong family took good care of the orchard, and no fruit seedlings died. After strolling around the two orchards, the two went to Tong's house to visit Uncle Tong.

I don’t know if it’s because the rice the Tong family eats comes from Mo Yan’s space, so Uncle Tong’s health is much better. He no longer has to lie in bed and drink big bowls of bitter food as soon as winter comes. concoction.

Now the Tong family has an income of one tael of silver per month, and the rice grain provided by Mo Yan is sufficient. Even the wild animals hunted by Xiaohua and the others are brought from time to time. The living conditions of the Tong family have improved a lot compared to before. In just a few months, Xiaoqing has grown a lot and his face has gained color.

In this regard, Aunt Tong hid her gratitude deeply in her heart and took more care of the orchard. She did her best to do it herself without asking anyone, which saved Mo Yan a lot of trouble and expenses.

Father and daughter stayed at Tong's house for a while, then got up and went home.
