He Hua's grandmother went to see Xiao Xiu and thought it was suitable. Fang invited a matchmaker, picked a good day, took the gifts and went to the city to propose marriage. She took the cursive invitation from Doctor Zheng and went home, pressing it on the old lady's hand. Under the ancestral tablet in the house, I left it for three days to see that the house was peaceful. Then I took it back and went out to find someone to count it with Bo Rong's horoscope. When the horoscopes were calculated, I issued a draft and returned it to the Zheng family, who then went to his family. It didn't take long for the Zheng family to send a matchmaker to tell them about good luck and fortune. The two sides began to exchange detailed notes. Since Dr. Zheng's family was from the city, Mrs. Fang specially asked Sister Zhu what was said in the city and what should be prepared.
Written on the small post are the names of Borong's great-grandfather, ancestors, and fathers, as well as the family's property status and the amount of the betrothal gift. I send Chapter 85 Jingzhe to Beat the Villain for pink! ! After going to the city, I received a confirmation letter from Doctor Zheng soon after. On it was written the names of Xiaoxiu's great-grandfather, ancestor, and father, as well as the dowry list. In this way, the marriage was confirmed.
Mrs. Fang prepared two jars of wedding wine, tied with more than eighty flowers made of silk and silk, and carried them on a wine pole wrapped with red silk. According to Sister Zhu's explanation, Zhu Yongxin went to the city to buy gold and dyed it red. On the paper, Borong personally wrote three wedding invitations and a list of gifts, put them in a red and green fish bag covered with gold, and put them into a wooden box with five men and two women painted on it. Mrs. Fang felt sorry for her son, especially since the eldest son was getting married. She basically spent all the living money that could be used at home, and also prepared gold and silver jewelry, silk tea cakes, tea and fruit wedding cakes and other items, all year round. A woman's clothes and shoes are extremely rich in the countryside, but Sister Zhu said that in the city, it would be considered barely rude.
The things were carried and sent to the city. Doctor Zheng kept the gift in the main hall of his home, invited the blessed people to remove their scarves, took the needlework nvhong made by Xiao Xiu, and divided half of the tea and fruit wedding cakes sent. He also filled two jars of fresh water into the wine jars that were delivered, put three or five live fishes, put a pair of chopsticks on each side, and hung two green onions outside the jars and sent them back to Zhu's house together, which was called "Chapter 85 Waking of Insects and Killing the Little Ones". People ask for pink!! Return fish chopsticks."
The betrothal ceremony was completed in this way. Since we had discussed with the Zheng family, the two children were not too old yet, and Bo Rong would take the childbirth examination in two years, so there was no rush to place a betrothal gift and set a wedding date.
After all this trouble, it was immediately obvious that the money at home was short. Fang picked up the needlework that she had put aside for a while, and kept working day and night. Zhu Yongxin packed up and strengthened all the sticks and pig pens at home, and piled the firewood pile high. When he was free, he began to think about going out to find a job.
Hehua saw that the weather had become much warmer now, so he began to think about accumulating manure and compost according to the recipe given by Qi Jintang. He took Zhu Yongxin to dig a deep cellar in his garden. The manure accumulated in the winter was frozen to death. , dumped all the things she had saved and picked up over the winter into the cellar, and also poured in the baskets of frozen garbage she usually piled in the backyard, such as chicken bones, pig bones, rotten vegetable leaves, etc. They also threw away a lot of chaff, mugwort stalks, etc., covered them with soil, built a low shed with a wooden frame on top, and covered it with straw mats layer by layer, so that the things could be heated and ripened inside, according to the recipe copied by Qi Jintang. , this method is called "steaming manure method", the cooked manure obtained in this way is faster than ordinary compost, and it is not easy to lose nutrients. It can be put into the ground as base fertilizer at the beginning of spring.
As the days passed, there were fewer and fewer white areas on the Nine-Nine Cold Elimination Picture, and more and more red plum blossoms. Shopkeeper Tao from the city sent his waiter to order some more fried noodles, saying that they were very good in the city. , after paying off all the money from the last round, it was a full fifteen ounces of money. Fang was so happy that she hugged Hehua and kissed her hard. Hehua took the opportunity to say, "Mom, let's save more money this year. Let’s find a place to build a new house together, build one that faces north and has a wing, so that my sister and I can have our own house, and my eldest brother will have a place to live when he gets married.”
Mrs. Fang was moved by what Lotus said. Now that her children are getting older, it is not suitable to live in just two houses. Although building a mud house would not be unaffordable for her family, she always felt that she would not be able to afford it on her own. I still wanted to build a house with a tile roof, so I was still in a dilemma. I touched my daughter's head and said, "Now we have to save money to buy a betrothal gift for your brother. We can wait until after autumn to get food to build a house." The situation seems to be approaching, and it’s almost time to start preparing for spring plowing.”
Hehua thought about it in her mind and felt that what Fang said made sense. Nowadays, there are too many places to spend money at home, and the house is indeed not the most important thing, so she had to put this idea aside.
After the first lunar month, Bo Ning followed Bo Rong to school. Since He Hua taught a lot of words at home, he kept up with the progress without much effort. Perhaps there were children of similar sizes competing with each other in school. , so when he comes back every day, in addition to memorizing the lessons left by Mr. Shu, he also learns more from Hehua or Bo Rong, and he no longer goes out to run around with the wild boys in the village.
When Mrs. Fang saw this, she also praised: "Sure enough, things are different after reading, and people become more sensible and stable."
Hehua sat on the kang and checked the window lesson for Bonin. After hearing this, she tilted her head and saw that Bonin was practicing calligraphy attentively. She smiled and said: "Boning has been sensible since he was a child. Although he likes to go out and run around, he never follows. That wild boy went to do harm to other people's things, but he didn't learn anything about not making progress. Now that he has started studying, he can see the difference. He can read and memorize very quickly. I think our Bonin may be better than him in the future. Big brother makes a difference."
After hearing this, Bonin's hand that was writing suddenly stopped, and the vertical line that was supposed to be written at the end was broken in the middle.
Lotus eyes looked at the textbook in the window, but she did not let go of his mistake. When she saw him picking up the pen to make up for it, she hurriedly scolded: "How many times have I told you? If you write something bad, rewrite it. Please write it down as soon as possible. I have to fix the shortcomings and correct them. Whether you are doing things or writing, you have to concentrate on it and get it done once. You can't always think about reworking."
"Yeah" Bonin responded, dipped in ink again and started writing.
Because paper is too expensive, but you can't always study on the sand on the table. If you want to practice calligraphy, you still have to pick up a pen to write, so Bonin thought of a way to reuse it. On a piece of paper, first write small regular characters in light ink. Then use light ink to practice large characters once, then use thick ink to write small regular script once, and practice large characters again.
After he practiced on a piece of paper for the first time, he was so happy that he held it up to show Hehua: "Look, Hehua, I have come up with a good way to practice calligraphy and save paper." He thought Hehua would be happy to praise him. , but Unexpectedly, Hehua stared at the paper covered with deep and shallow ink marks, and shed tears as soon as his eye circles turned red.
"You... what's wrong with you? Why are you crying..." Boning was so confused by her crying that he threw away the paper and hurriedly pulled his sleeves to wipe her tears.
Hehua stretched out her hand to hug Bonin, buried her head in his shoulder and sobbed. After a long while, she choked and said: "Just study in peace, sister, I will let you live a good life."
Boning put his hands around Hehua's thin shoulders, feeling as if he had suddenly grown up. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Sister, don't worry, I will study hard and stand out in the future so that you will no longer be bullied. "
"Bo Ning, you, what did you call me just now?" He Hua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her head to look at Bon Ning. She saw that his neck was tilted and his eyes were far away, but there was a faint blush on his cheeks. But it cannot be deceived.
Hehua laughed with tears still on her face. She stretched out her hand to pinch Bonin's cheek and said, "You really think you are a weird kid."
"Shuanzi is a child, I am no longer a child." Bonin bent down to avoid the "devil's claws" of the lotus, picked up the paper on the ground and went to the west room to practice calligraphy.
Lotus looked at his still tall figure and felt that her heart was filled with the deep affection. She was no longer alone in this life. For these relatives whose blood is thicker than water, even if it is harder, It's all worth it.
Shuanzi heard someone calling his name on the kang, so he leaned on the edge of the kang and clapped his hands toward the lotus flowers, shouting: "Two, two..."
"It's the second sister, not the second sister." Hehua couldn't help but went over to pick him up and asked, "What do you really like?"
"Go, go," Shuanzi pointed at the door.
"Do you want to go out to play again?" Lotus pressed against his forehead and said, "I will definitely be a wild boy from now on."
Mrs. Fang raised her voice in the kitchen and said, "This is the Jingzhe. You take him out for a walk and stomp on the insects to get rid of the evil spirit."
"Okay." Hehua put Shuanzi's coat on, hugged him and walked out. He went to take a look at his own land, put Shuanzi down and walked around twice before carrying him back home, passing by the side of the village field. Son, I saw Mrs. Li squatting under the haystack with her butt facing this way, not knowing what she was doing. Hehua didn't want to pay attention to her at first, and planned to go around without her noticing, but she suddenly took off her shoes and put them on the ground. He beat hard and said something in his mouth.
Hehua looked at Qi Qi, stretched out her hand to make a silent gesture to Shuanzi, and then covered Shuanzi's mouth with her hand and walked around. Li could only hear Mrs. Li murmuring while beating her: "Hit your little head to make you angry." If you don't know how to penetrate, I'll hit your little hands so that you can't move even though you have hands. I'll beat your little feet so that you can't walk..." Only then did Hehua realize that Mrs. Li was beating the little person, and she also listened. I have said that there is such a custom in the countryside, but Fang has never practiced these things, so this is the first time she has seen it, and she hid behind the haystack and watched with curiosity.
After Mr. Li beat him up, he piled a few small paper figures on the ground together with the talisman paper and other things lying beside them. He sprinkled a handful of sesame seeds and beans on them, took out the fire sticks and lit them on fire. There was a strong wind at the moment, so she blew it several times but failed to light it, so she cursed impatiently: "It's really bad luck. No wonder the master said that the villain around me is difficult to deal with. It's true, I can't even light a fire." ." After saying that, he moved his body to block the wind, and continued to blow the fire sticks, chanting, "Bodhisattva bless me, the faithful woman wishes Li family, may the family be peaceful, the villain retreats, may Bodhisattva bless me, let the third family live together." Stop making trouble and let Lao 2’s family stop suppressing my family’s fortune…”
Hehua curled her lips when she heard this. She was really an ignorant woman who didn't believe such a thing. She didn't believe it, so she didn't bother to go out and talk about it. She quietly got up and went home with the bolt in her arms.
