inside the room.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Xiaomi asked while covering the cloth fan.
After the round fans were popular for a while, the fever gradually subsided, and other shops in the town began to sell round fans one after another. At this time, the shop launched a cloth fan similar to a paper fan, which led to a new craze.
Cloth fans and round fans have similar functions, but many young ladies and wives like fresh ones.
As soon as the cloth fan came out, many people still bought it.
Many people buy fans not to escape the heat, but to show off.
"I was just thinking that rumors are really scary!" Lu Linman sighed.
After Shen Chi came back from the countryside last time, he was in a bad mood, but Lu Lin had a lot to deal with, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
The night before yesterday, Chen Xiaocai approached him secretly and said that Shen Chi had gone back to the countryside, and his mood was not quite right, something must have happened to him in the countryside, so he asked him to go to the countryside to investigate.
Although Lu Lin was a bit busy, he felt that it was rare for Chen Xiaocai to ask him for help, so he should help, so he went to the countryside to check. Lu Lin went to the countryside, and found out that he had previously rejected those who proposed marriage to Chen Xiaocai. There are some ugly rumors coming out of the village.
It is said that when he and Chen Xiaomi worked part-time in the town, their vision became higher and they looked down on girls in the countryside.
It was also said that Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi had hooked up a long time ago, that's why they looked down on other people.
Shen Chi is not an easy kid, he knows how to hook up at a young age.
Chen Xiaomi was scolded all the way, and it doesn't matter that they live in the town now, but Shen Chi is different, Lu Lin thinks that Shen Chi may have been hit.
After all, Shen Chi was still a child, and he probably felt uncomfortable being suddenly ridiculed by so many people.
Chen Xiaomi heard Lu Lin talking about the rumors in the countryside, and said dissatisfiedly: "There are such rumors, and Shen Chi will not be easy to find if he wants to find someone in the future.
"Will it be?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi nodded, "Of course."
It was difficult for Shuang'er to find a husband and son-in-law. Chen Xiaomi was already prepared to die alone. If it weren't for the sudden poll tax from the higher ups, Chen Xiaomi would never have thought of finding a partner.
"The conditions of the Shen family are not bad!" Grandma Shen probably has some savings, and still has a few acres of land in her hands, but the population is too small.
People here pay attention to having more children and more blessings. Although there are more people in this family, there will be more people eating here, but if someone finds fault, it is always an advantage to have more people in the family.
"If Shen Chi gets married, Grandma Shen will return the land to her husband's family after a hundred years. If she recruits a husband, she probably won't be able to recruit a good one. In this era, it is important to marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog. If a woman does not have a strong From her mother's family, when she married into her husband's family, basically she could only recognize others, and it was the same for Shuang'er.
Lu Lin said jokingly: "I can't recruit good ones, am I pretty good?"
Chen Xiaomi blushed and said, "You are not him."
Lu Lin stroked his chin and said, "That's true."
Chen Xiaomi suddenly remembered something. There used to be a good-looking girl in the village. Someone went to propose marriage for her son. The son of that family was a gangster. The girl's family refused. Spread the word everywhere that the girl is having an affair with a salesman.
That girl is pretty, and often asks the peddler to bring him some fashionable headbands, but she has nothing to do with the peddler.
It was obviously a rumor with no evidence, and it spread so much that people in the village actually thought that the girl was a bad person. The girl couldn't stand the blow and threw herself into the lake.
After the girl committed suicide, some people in the village were embarrassed, but so what, the dead people can't come back.
When Lu Lin heard what Chen Xiaomi said, he couldn't help but sighed. Although he inherited the original owner's memory, he still couldn't understand the mentality of people in this era well.
"How do you think about this matter?" Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi and asked. Chen Xiaomi thought about it and said, "If both Shen Chi and Xiaocai agree, then we can make an engagement for them."
"Is it early?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi gritted his teeth, and said, "It's just an engagement. We can talk about the marriage later. If the marriage is settled, the two of them get closer, and no one will say anything."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Alright."
Although Lu Lin didn't think that Shen Chi's mentality would be so bad that he would throw himself into the lake, but he was still a brat after all, and it's not good to bear too much pressure.
There are quite a lot of child brides-in-laws in this place and finger pulp marriages. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it would be good to get married early, and Shen Chi can also learn to work in the store earlier, but he has to ask Xiaocai for his opinion on this matter first.
"Engaged?" Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin in surprise.
Lu Lin nodded, and said, "Yes, actually, your hair hasn't grown yet, so you can talk about it later, but the rumors in the countryside are messy now." The rumors spread in the countryside, and they didn't do anything about them. It is likely to intensify.
Chen Xiaocai frowned, and said, "It's better to settle down earlier, Achi is pretty good."
Lu Lin tilted his head, looked at Chen Xiaocai, and said, "Shen Chi is a twin, think it through." The men here still like girls more, and Lu Lin doesn't know what Chen Xiaocai thinks .
Chen Xiaocai tilted her head and said, "Shuang'er is pretty good, the eldest brother is Shuang'er, don't you, Lin Ge, don't you like my eldest brother?"
Lu Lin: "..." The brat actually blocked him with words.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaocai, and vaguely suspected that Chen Xiaocai liked Shen Chi because Shen Chi was like Chen Xiaomi, so he fell in love with the house.
After asking Chen Xiaocai's opinion, Lu Lin went to find Grandma Shen.
Grandma Shen looked at Lu Lin and said, "Let A Chi and Xiao Cai settle down."
Lu Lin nodded and said: "Well, I think the two boys look like a husband and wife, and I think Achi is also good, so I want to settle down with Achi and Xiaocai, so as not to be robbed by others ..." Granny Shen was naturally happy when she heard Lu Lin boasting about her grandson.
"He agrees with Xiaocai." In her heart, Grandma Shen also hoped that Xiaocai would be with her grandson. The family is poor and has no choice but to marry someone who can work.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Look at what you said, if he disagrees, can I mention this to you? The two kids have been playing for so long."
Grandma Shen said in embarrassment: "It's mine, isn't it?" Grandma Shen is still very happy that Lu Lin is willing to propose marriage. She is getting older, and Grandma Shen has always been worried that if she is gone, Shen Chi will be alone. Shuanger how to live.
With the mind of the Chen family brothers, if Shen Chi and Chen Xiaocai get married, then he can feel relieved when he leaves, but
"A Lin, have you heard something?" People in the village approached Lu Lin to propose marriage to Chen Xiaocai. Grandma Shen also knew what Chen Xiaomi meant before. .
Lu Lin frowned, and said: "I have heard about it. Xiaocai, I know, he has always liked A Chi, but he is thin-skinned, so I am embarrassed to say it. Originally, I thought that the two children are still young, so there is no need to be so anxious, but , since there are such rumors spreading in the village, it would be better to settle it sooner."
Grandma Shen nodded, finally nodded, and said, "That's fine."
Grandma Shen thought to herself: It was hard to find her own grandson in the first place, and now that there are such rumors in the village, it is even more difficult to find. Since Lu Lin took the initiative to mention it, there is no need for her to take Joe.
Grandma Shen called Shen Chi to her side and mentioned the matter of engagement, Shen Chi couldn't help but blush.
The next day, Grandma Shen took Shen Chi back to the countryside.
Grandma Shen took Shen Chi back to the countryside and got busy.
Rich people pay attention to three books and six rituals when they marry, and there are a lot of red tape, but the villagers are different. If the conditions are good, they should be more particular, and if the conditions are poor, they should be casual.
People in the countryside can't even afford to eat, so they don't have to be so poor.
Grandma Shen suddenly returned to the countryside, causing many people to discuss.
Everyone in the village knows that Grandma Shen works in Huaxia Commercial Firm and only comes back occasionally to clean up the ground. This time, Grandma Shen only came back two days ago, and she will come back again, which can't help but make people talk a lot
There was the shameless one, who laughed and guessed when she saw Grandma Shen came back, that Grandma Shen was actually driven back.
Chen Xiaomi was probably afraid that Shen Chi's reputation would be bad, which would hurt Chen Xiaocai's future reputation. Lu Lin told Grandma Shen that in two days they would find a matchmaker to discuss the engagement, and send an engagement gift by the way.
The two parties discussed it and felt that there is no need to make the engagement too complicated, just invite some people over for a meal. Although everything is simple, it still needs to be prepared.
Because Grandma Shen has been in the town for this period of time, the house is a little messy, the furniture is a little dusty, and many places in the house are in a mess. In such a short time, there is no time to add anything, but there is still room for cleaning. necessary.
"Grandma Shen, you're back."
Grandma Shen looked at Liu Yue and said, "Yes, I'm back."
Liu Yue looked at Grandma Shen with an apologetic expression on her face. Aunt Zhang Xiuhe went to the town to find Lu Lin, and in the name of Li Zheng's father-in-law asked Grandma Shen to give up her job. Lu Lin didn't agree, so she came to the house to make a fuss. Said that Lu Lin was blind and didn't take her father-in-law seriously, and asked him to reason with her.
Although the father-in-law is partial to his aunt, Lu Lin has gone to the town to hang out, and it is not easy for him to find the town. He just persuaded his aunt a few words about Zhang Xiuhe, and Lu Lin didn't tell Grandma Shen. Many people in the village wanted to sell their embroidery to commercial firms. When they met Grandma Shen, someone told Grandma Shen about Zhang Xiuhe, and she would be more careful if she was so kind.
When Grandma Shen came back this time, my sister-in-law Zhang Xiuhe was suddenly proud. She guessed that it was the boss of the town, who finally couldn't understand Grandma Shen, an old woman who was idle, and drove her back.
The more Zhang Xiuhe guessed, the more he felt that this was the case, so he said it swearingly. Some villagers thought that Zhang Xiuhe got some inside information from Lizheng's father-in-law, so they believed it.
Zhang Xiuhe not only likes to take advantage of everyone in the village, but also likes to take advantage of their family, so Liu Yue actually doesn't like this aunt very much.
Liu Yue looked at Grandma Shen, and asked with some embarrassment: "Grandma, are you planning to live permanently?" Grandma Shen glanced at Liu Yue, and said, "I'm staying for two days, but I still have to go back to town after two days. Yes, but I don’t have a lot of work recently, so I’m just idle.”
Liu Yue smiled and said, "That's right! I'm so sorry about my sister-in-law."
Grandma Shen said nonchalantly: "It's nothing serious, you don't have to worry about it, Ah Yue."
Grandma Shen doesn't like Zhang Xiuhe, but she still has a good impression of Liu Yue.
Liu Yue got the letter from Grandma Shen, and she was relieved knowing that Grandma Shen came back from town and had nothing to do with my sister-in-law.
