Just when everything was going according to plan, news came from the Xie family that Xie Ping was engaged, saying that the wedding would be on the eighth day of next month.

After hearing what Lin Changting brought back from the town, Lin's mother happily got busy, muttering that she wanted to prepare some things to send to the Xie family.

"Really? Did your uncle and aunt really say that?"

After hearing what Lin Changting said, Lin's mother immediately put down the things in her hands, stood up quickly with a smile on her face, and asked Lin Changting.

"Why is it so sudden? I haven't heard any news from your grandfather before."

The marriage between Xie Ping and Xie An from the Xie family is not only a concern for the Xie family, but also something that worries Lin's mother. Before this, no one had come to propose marriage to the Xie family.

It even caused many people in the village to laugh at them. Now, when they suddenly heard that Xie Ping's marriage was settled, it was a little hard to believe.

"It's true, mother. Today, after I finished my work in town, I went to the market. It happened that my uncle and his family hadn't closed their stall yet, so I went to talk to them for a while, and that's how I found out about this."

Lin Changting was also very happy. When he heard about this, he rushed home as fast as he could, thinking of telling his mother Lin about it as soon as possible to make her happy.

"Then you can decide which family the girl is from, okay?"

Mother Lin's brows relaxed, a smile appeared at the corners of her eyes, the corners of her mouth were raised high, and her face was full of joy.

Lin Changting moved all the things he had bought from the oxcart into the house, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied, "I heard from my aunt that it was a girl from the village next door. It was because she had met Xie Ping before that she sent someone to come and plead for her."

After a pause, fearing that Lin's mother might be anxious, he continued, "My aunt later asked Xie Ping and found out that Xie Ping knew the girl."

"My aunt sent someone to the neighboring village to inquire about the girl. She only heard that the girl had a good temper and would be easy to get along with in the future."

Lin Yunchu, who was listening quietly to Lin Changting's words, curled his lips slightly but said nothing. It had been quite a while since Xie Youzhu and Zhao had set up stalls in the town.

Now the two of them have become much more knowledgeable than before. When they said this to Lin Changting, I think they must have already inquired clearly in the next village, and they must have felt it was appropriate, so they decided to get engaged to Xie Ping.

I think it should be correct, and it is said that Xie Ping knew her before, so the two of them must be interested in each other, otherwise the Xie family would not be so worried about the marriage of Xie Ping and Xie An.

Cousin Chunjiao told me that Xu Lian, whom I met in Xiejia Village before, was interested in Cousin Xie Ping. If the Xie family didn't care about Cousin Xie Ping's thoughts, they would have agreed to let Xu Lian marry them long ago.

It seems that Xie Ping also likes the girl from the next village. Xie Ping is satisfied with this marriage, and the Xie family is also satisfied. This is a happy ending for everyone.

"Okay, that's good."

Mother Lin was very happy when she heard this, but then she thought about how hastily the marriage was arranged, so she asked Lin Changting again:

"Then have you asked your uncle and aunt if they need anything at home? Is there anything they can help with? The marriage is being arranged a bit hastily, so if there's anything they need, we can help out."

The Xie family hasn't had such a big happy event for many years. Mother Lin was very happy and just wanted to handle this event well and make it lively so that everyone in the village could see that the Xie family's life is much better now than before.

Lin Changting shook his head and replied, "I've asked, and my uncle and aunt said there's not much they can do to help. They can take care of it, so we can just go there together and have fun."

Now Xie’s bun stall is quite famous, and many people go to the market early in the morning to line up to buy buns.

The Xie family’s buns are big with thin skin and taste good. Now, apart from my uncle and aunt who run the stall every day, sometimes my second uncle and aunt have to go over to help because they are too busy.

Now the daily income from the bun stall is stable, plus the income from picking mushrooms in the mountains, the Xie family's life has become much better.

In two months, when the mushrooms in the mountains are gone, there will be no need to go into the mountains. My uncle said that they plan to make some pancakes and sell them together with the buns.

The pancakes made by my second aunt Li are quite good, so the Xie family can have more income.

Hearing Lin Changting say this, knowing that the Xie family is living a good life now, Lin's mother was also very happy.

"Okay, that's good."

"But we can't just sit there and do nothing. I'll pack some cloth and bring it over when you go to the Xie family in a couple of days. I'll have them make you a new dress. We need to prepare everything properly for the wedding."

"And eggs. I just gathered a basket of them. You can take some with you."

Mother Lin spoke excitedly, while still thinking about what else the Xie family needed. She had to think about it carefully and let Lin Changting take it over when the time comes.

Lin Yunchu was also very happy to hear Lin Changting talking about the Xie family's future plans. The Xie family could think of cutting off this source of income after the mushrooms in the mountains were gone.

It's a good idea to take advantage of Li's skill in making pancakes and sell them together with his own bun stall.

When he was at the Xie family before, Lin Yunchu had also eaten the pancakes made by Li. The craftsmanship was quite good, but the Xie family was poor at that time, so the food they made was a little disappointing.

Later, Lin Yunchu mentioned it, and his second aunt Li was willing to add some sauce and eggs, so the dish turned out really delicious.

If you put some thought into it and come up with some new ideas, it will definitely sell well in town.

Moreover, when Lin Yunchu came back, he talked to Old Man Xie about buying land, and Old Man Xie listened to him.

These days, they have made some money from selling mushrooms and the bun stall. The Xie family also followed Lin Yunchu's advice and did not buy high-quality farmland. Instead, they bought a lot of sandy land, and now they have planted potatoes and sweet potatoes.

When the autumn harvest comes in this year, that batch of potatoes can be sold for a lot of money. It seems that the Xie family's life is getting better and better.

"Okay, mother, you can take your time to pack. I'll take it to my uncle and the others when the time comes. I'll go get busy now."

Lin Changting responded with a smile, then picked up a hoe and went to the field.

Now the potatoes in the field have been planted, and it is time to weed the other fields. Lin's father and Lin Changshun are too busy to handle it, so Lin Changting has to go and help after finishing his work.

Although the Lin family would hire people to help when they were busy working in the fields, the Lin family was used to being frugal and could not sit idle. Whenever Lin's father had some free time, he would go for a walk in the fields.

At this moment, Pan Xiuxiu was watching over the workshop, so Lin Changting followed his father to the fields. What farmers value most is the crops in the fields, which are related to the harvest for the whole year.
