When returning home at night, Zhang Xingwang couldn't wait to go home, so he had a long talk with his son in the car.
"Er Yong, tell Dad the truth, do you like Lan Ya?"
The old man's directness made Zhang Eryong a little embarrassed, he blushed and smiled a few times, but he didn't speak, but it was equivalent to acquiescing in disguise.
Zhang Xingwang understood everything when he saw his son like this. He laughed and said, "What's so embarrassing? Since ancient times, it is a matter of course for men to marry and women to marry. There is nothing to be ashamed of." , if you really like Lan Ya, I'll go and propose marriage for you tomorrow."
When Zhang Eryong heard that his father was going to propose marriage to Lan Ya, the lines of laughter on his lips suddenly widened, and he said a little coyly: "Father, I'm afraid... Lan Ya doesn't like me..."
Zhang Xingwang stared: "I haven't mentioned this yet, how do you know she doesn't like you? You two are about the same age, and you can talk about it together, how suitable! Maybe Lan Ya has already fallen in love with you Well, otherwise I won’t heal your wounds, so I’ll teach you the secret recipe of spiced peanuts!”
Rao Zhang Xingwang analyzed it this way, but Zhang Eryong still wasn't sure, "Lanya is so capable, can she really fall in love with me? Don't you just help me because she looks at me poorly?"
Zhang Xingwang glanced at his son, and snorted, "Look at your ugly face, you're getting timid before you go into battle. With your temperament, Lan Ya really doesn't think he can fall in love with you."
Hearing what his father said, Zhang Eryong was a little anxious: "Father, what should I do?"
"What to do, what to do, you are a man, you should act like a man, don't be shy and frightened all the time, that's all a woman's style, you are a man, you should be thick-skinned, Be proactive."
"By the way, I see that you have hidden a floral cloth in your room. You bought it for her, right? Why didn't you take it out for her?"
As soon as this piece of floral cloth was mentioned, Zhang Eryong immediately showed a frustrated look.
Wasn't this floral cloth the one he bought for her when they had dinner the day they entered the city
However, after dinner, he followed her to Heji Cloth Shop, saw her pick out those plain and elegant cotton cloths, and after seeing her vision and preferences, he felt ashamed of the piece of cotton cloth he bought. The feeling comes.
Compared with the floral cloth he bought, the fabric she picked was much more elegant and beautiful. At first glance, the floral cloth he bought was bright and pretty, but if you looked closely, you would find that it was very tacky. , brightly colored, like a flower hen, only those women in the village who can be stinky and stinky like to wear them. A girl with connotation like Lan Ya will definitely not wear such vulgar things.
"Father, I bought the wrong one. She won't care about that kind of floral cloth."
"You didn't send it, how do you know she doesn't like it?"
Zhang Xingwang Chunchun taught, "Sometimes giving a gift is not about what you give, but about your heart. I think that girl Lanya is very sensible, and she won't just because what you buy doesn't meet her wishes." Just angry, only because you miss her and are moved by knowing to buy something for her, tomorrow, you will send that piece of fabric, and Lanya will be happy."
"Make her happy, and she will be willing to marry you. Lan Ya is a good person. If you marry her, our old Zhang family will be able to prosper in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Eryong hurriedly said: "Father, I just want to marry Lan Ya because I like her, not for anything else."
"Well, Dad knows."
Zhang Xingwang nodded, "It's not only what you like, but also what can make our old Zhang's family flourish. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
If you want your family to prosper, you must have a good wife. There is an old saying that goes like this: A good wife prospers for three generations, and whether the old Zhang family can prosper in the future depends only on the second daughter-in-law.
Dayong's daughter-in-law and his old wife are useless. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know how to pick and take care of each other if they don't know anything about it. Wake up, it will be impossible to wait until the next life.
Fortunately, Er Yong was lucky, let him meet Lan Ya, a good girl, their old Zhang family has hope...

After Zhang Eryong and his son left, Shen Ruolan and his daughter went back to intense work, washing pig skins, boiling pig skins, plucking pig hairs, and chopping pork skins...
The two men chatted while working.
"Father never dreamed that this thing could make so much money. In the past, father was a farmer and a vegetable seller. It was amazing to be able to save two or two taels of silver all year round. I didn't expect that he could earn so much in a day now. ... Lan Ya, you are really capable, I don't know what kind of virtue my father has accumulated in his previous life, to have such a good girl as you... "
Shen Ruolan buried her head in plucking pig hairs. Hearing this, she raised her head and smiled, and said, "It must be because you and my mother have good genes, otherwise I wouldn't be so good!"
Shen Dejian didn't know what 'gene' was, and he didn't care about the word 'gene', but when his daughter said the word 'my mother', his heart was stung, and the smile on his face suddenly Dim down.
He lowered his head, said nothing, picked up his piece of pork skin and pulled out the hair without saying a word.
Seeing her father's appearance, Shen Ruolan knew that her words had hit his sore spot, she felt a little sorry, and hurriedly found other topics to divert his attention.
"Father, look at our house is so dilapidated. It's still a thatched cottage. It can't be finished in a strong wind or a heavy rain. Or, when you make money in the future, let's build a new one?"
This topic started well, and Shen Dejian's thoughts were quickly drawn back.
"Okay, even if you don't tell me, Dad has the same plan. When Dad earns money, he will build a new house, which is big and spacious."
"Well, I don't want an adobe house, I want a brick house, with two entrances, the kind with side rooms on the left and right." Shen Ruolan said with a smile. That elongated voice sounded like a bit of a spoiled child.
Shen Dejian smiled dotingly, and said: "You girl, you are not a kid, how many years can you stay at home? If Dad builds such a good house for you to live in, when your in-law's house is gone in the future, can you get used to it?" ?”
Shen Ruolan also smiled: "Who says you want to get married? I don't want to marry. Even if I marry, it's just a way of getting married. I don't want to be like other girls and marry to serve their family."
It's not that she's joking, but she really thinks so.
Shen Ruolan never thought of being single for the rest of her life, but she also didn't want to marry into her in-laws' family to serve her in-laws and her husband's big family like girls in this era. Live a life of mutual respect and love, respecting each other like Pentax.
Although she is only fourteen years old, she has already passed the age of a girl's heartbeat and fawn's bumping psychologically, and she has always been very practical in her approach to problems. She has never been optimistic about vigorous and earth-shattering love. Such feelings only exist in TV and novels, and the more earth-shattering love is, the less reliable it is. It's better to find an honest young man with good conduct and gentle personality, and work together Stay in this picturesque small mountain village, watch the scenery of the four seasons, and live their small life in a down-to-earth manner.
It's true that it's mediocre, if she can really find such a person in this life, it won't be in vain for her to travel through time.
When Shen Dejian heard her words, his eyes lit up.
He doesn't plan to renew the strings anymore. In this life, there will only be Lanya as a child. If she is married off, he is really reluctant, but if she can recruit a son-in-law to come in, the whole family will live happily. Not a bad idea!
