Zhou Zhoulang ran a little hard, and when he stopped, not only his hands and feet became weak, but his body trembled a little.
He changed his clothes with difficulty, and went back to the main room shaking his hands and feet.
Old Zhou Tou was a scapegoat for nothing, and was a little unhappy, so when he saw him, he asked, "Why are you crying?"
Zhou Lang bowed his head with a red face and remained silent.
Old Zhou couldn't help but patted the table, "I'm asking you something, did you get into trouble today?"
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang were in a hurry, but they couldn't think of a good excuse.
Zhou Zhoulang groaned for a long time, and finally said with a stiff neck: "No, I, I'm just sad."
"Why are you sad? You have something to eat and some clothes to wear. You will be entering a new house in two days. What is there to be sad about?"
Man Bao hurriedly said: "Fourth brother is not married to a wife."
Old Zhou Tou glanced at her, and then turned to Zhou Zhoulang and said: "Don't you not marry a wife? You are only eighteen, what are you in a hurry for?"
After speaking, he hated iron but said: "Originally, it is difficult for you to marry a daughter-in-law, but it is even more difficult to cry like this. Look at you, do you look like a man? Who would marry their daughter to a crying bag?"
Old Zhou was so angry that he caught him and scolded him. He didn't stop until the daughters-in-law made dinner and brought all the food.
Although there was meat to eat tonight, everyone ate quietly. Zhou Dalang showed brotherly love to Zhou Zhoulang rarely, and gave him a piece of meat.
Tuesday Lang and Wednesday Lang also expressed their friendship to him one after another, and they both gave him a piece of meat.
Thursday Lang: ...
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang: ... what if we want to cry too
Man Bao also graciously took a piece of meat from his own bowl, and then buried himself in eating.
Mentioning Zhou Zhoulang's marriage, before going to bed at night, the old Zhou Tou couldn't help asking Qian, "The matchmaker didn't introduce me anymore because we couldn't meet each other before?"
Qian glanced at Man Bao who was hiding behind the screen with a guilty conscience, and said, "You really believe what they say, do you think the fourth child is someone who is in a hurry to marry a wife?"
"He's not too young, so it's time to worry."
Qian said: "The matchmaker mentioned another family later, but it was too good, I dare not mention it, for fear that the fourth child in our family will not be worthy of the girl."
"Whose family?"
"The little girl of the butcher's family in Dali Village."
Old Zhou Tou thought about it, and his family was really not worthy of others, "Why did the matchmaker mention his family? It can't be that his family has taken a fancy to our fourth child, right?"
Qian said: "The Fang family may not have liked it, but the little girl of the Fang family has liked it."
She smiled and said: "The fourth child is not bad-looking. This year he has been running to the market a lot to buy meat. It is probably because the Fang family can't bear the little girl's mention, so I mentioned it to the matchmaker."
Of course, Qian's ability to guess this was also revealed by the matchmaker intentionally or unintentionally.
Although she didn't say it clearly, the meaning was revealed. It was the little girl of the Fang family who had taken a fancy to Zhou Zhoulang herself, and the parents couldn't bear the child's begging, so they mentioned it to the matchmaker.
Qian Shi has always been self-aware that getting married means matching the right family, so she only listened to it and didn't plan to tell Zhou Zhou Lang about the little girl of the Fang family.
Old Zhou was silent for a while and said: "Then take the child to take a look when you have time."
Qian frowned, "The difference in family background is a bit big."
"It's not too big. Their Fang family is relatively rich, but our Zhou family still has scholars." Old Zhou Tou is very confident in his family, he said: "Now the children have learned to read with Man Bao. There are only ones in the village. Don’t you want to find a powerful wife for the fourth child? I think the Fang family is good, and the daughter-in-law is full of confidence. If the fourth child messes up in the future, it will be easy to clean up.”
Qian Shi became thoughtful.
Man Bao hid on the bed, silently mourning for the fourth brother in his heart.
Early the next morning, she slipped out of bed and went to report to Zhou Zhoulang, of course, she would not tell him about his parents' plan, but happily told him, "Fourth brother, mother is going to marry you again. "
Zhou Zhoulang slept all night and his condition improved. Hearing this, he yawned and asked, "Whose girl is it?"
"You must like my sister this time."
Zhou Zhou Lang lifted his spirits and asked: "Why? Is she very beautiful, have you seen it?"
Man Bao said: "I haven't seen it, but you must have seen it. Her house has a lot of meat."
Zhou Zhoulang blinked and asked, "What do you mean her house has a lot of meat?"
"Because her family is a butcher!" Man Bao said: "My biggest wish when I was young was that my father would become a butcher, so that I would have meat to eat every day. Fourth brother, my wish can't be fulfilled, but you can. .”
Father-in-law is also a father.
Zhou Zhoulang thought about it for a while, and realized that it was true. His eyes gradually brightened, and he asked, "Which girl from the butcher's family?"
Man Bao said: "It seems to be Fang."
Zhou Zhoulang's eyes brightened, and he sat up from the bed immediately, "It's her!"
The little lady of the Fang family, he knows her very well!
This year, because Manbao was rich and powerful, he often gave him money to buy meat. Unless he went to the county town, he would buy it in Daji.
As for mutton and pork, he prefers to buy mutton, and of course, mutton is more nourishing.
There are only two meat stalls in Daji, one sells mutton, the other sells pork, and Fang's sells mutton.
Sometimes when Zhou Zhoulang went to buy meat, Uncle Fang was not there, and it was the young lady of the Fang family who looked after the stall.
Because he was an acquaintance, Zhou Zhoulang rarely blushed a little, and asked Man Bao: "Did you hear me clearly, is this the young lady of the Fang family?"
Man Bao nodded and asked, "Is she good-looking?"
Zhou Zhoulang twitched and said, "That's it."
But his eyes were shining, he didn't lie down anymore, he simply got up, "Did Mother say when to go on a blind date? Are we going, or are they coming to our house?"
"I'll help you to ask." Man Bao turned around and was about to run.
Zhou Zhoulang hurriedly grabbed her, "Why do you ask, this is a matter for adults to decide, ahem, just listen to what your parents say."
"Mother said that you are not good enough for the young lady of the Shang family, but father said that I can let you try, maybe they will fall in love with you..."
Zhou Zhoulang covered her mouth with his hand, "Okay, you don't have to say it."
Sure enough, a dog cannot spit out ivory.
Zhou Zhoulang found out his best set of clothes and changed into them. After thinking about it, he said to Man Bao, "Why don't you go and ask your mother?"
Man Bao snorted, turned and left.
Zhou Zhoulang scratched his head, lowered his head and followed her out.
Man Bao is unreliable, but Zhou Zhou Lang took care of himself and began to pay close attention to his mother's movements. This attention found a problem.
After all, Mrs. Qian listened to the old Zhou Tou's words, and asked someone to invite a matchmaker to come over. The two talked in the room for a while, and the matchmaker left, and then she came again in the afternoon. After eating, Mrs. Qian said to Zhou Zhoulang: "Tomorrow you and I will go to Dali Village, buy some meat and come back to make meat buns."
Man Bao immediately said: "I will go too!"
Qian lowered her head and said with a smile, "Okay, Man Bao will go with us."
Zhou Zhoulang was a little excited, and took a look at Man Bao, why are you everywhere
