Chapter 155 The threshold is about to be broken
The village chief is not the only one who has this idea.
Families in the village who have daughters waiting to be married have been eyeing Jiang Fengze since he returned to the village.
Before the day of the welcoming banquet, one by one, they almost broke the threshold of the Jiang family, eager to "get there first".
Early in the morning, when the sky was only half bright.
Jiang Fenghu whistled and just came out of the toilet when he heard someone picking at the door. He was so scared that he quickly pulled up his pants.
When the door opened, the women who were peeking at him from the waist of the cat were unable to stand steadily for a moment, and they all fell to the ground and fell.
Jiang Fenghu's eyes widened, and he recognized Aunt Zhou, Mrs. Liu, and Aunt Su from the village, so he had to help them up.
"Aunt Liu, what are you doing?" Jiang Fenghu looked at the pots of pickled vegetables and sauces on the ground, and was really puzzled.
Mrs. Liu and the others stopped pretending and said with a smile: "Fenghu, we heard that your third brother is back, and we all want to come and see him, and bring some of our own pickled things, so that he can taste the familiar craftsmanship of our village."
Jiang Fenghu is a tiger, but he is not stupid.
It's okay for the villagers to come to visit the third brother, but who would come to pick the cracks of someone's door before dawn?
Such attentiveness must be a demon, not to mention that there are only a few families in the village, and there are still some unmarried old girls...
Jiang Fenghu immediately became alert, and dared not take things carelessly, for fear of "selling" his third brother.
"Mom!" When you are in doubt, calling mom is the most useful.
Jiang Fenghu pushed the salted vegetable pot and hurried into the house to call Feng.
Feng had just woken up and was rubbing her eyes. She was about to put the porridge in the pot first, and then make a steamed egg with minced meat for her daughter.
Hearing the sound, she had to come out. After seeing Liu Pozi and the others, she was stunned for a moment.
"Mother Nuobao, this is the pickled radish that my family made. Fengze hasn't had breakfast yet, so take it and let him have a taste." Aunt Zhou saw Feng coming, and quickly squeezed away from Mrs. Liu, smiling warmly.
"And there are also big pieces of soy sauce made by my family. Fengze has been away from home for several years, so he must have been craving this for a long time." Aunt Su was afraid of being left behind, so she also rushed forward and smiled.
Mrs. Liu glared at them and picked up the pot of soy sauce that had been knocked over.
She winked and tried, "Mother Nuobao, Fengze didn't get married when he was in the border, right? He is already quite old. Shouldn't your family find a marriage for him in the village?"
Mrs. Feng looked subtle, with her hands hanging in the air.
In the end, she just wiped it on her apron and didn't take their things.
After a long time of commotion, it seems that everyone wants to help their daughters find marriages.
Others are fine, especially Mrs. Liu, whose daughter Ju Jiao was broken off from marriage and has a bad reputation. Now she is worried about finding a husband at home.
Although Mrs. Feng wants to marry her third son, she will not rush into her son's lifelong event. She will not be fooled by them.
So she directly pushed back the pickled vegetables and soybean paste, with a smile on her face, but she spoke very fluently.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have these things at home, so I won't accept yours."
"It's not easy for Fengze to come back. My family just wants to have a good reunion now. As for the marriage, there is no rush to arrange it. Even if someone wants to help find a match, my family won't look at it!"
When Mrs. Liu and the others heard this, they felt very disappointed.
They had to take the things back, but they didn't give up. After all, there was only one young man of the right age in the village.
Jiang Fengze was born with a good-looking face, tall and strong. Even Jujiao, who had someone in her heart, couldn't help but be tempted after taking a peek, not to mention other girls.
In addition, they knew everything about him. If the villagers wanted to marry a daughter of a noble family, Fengze would definitely be the first choice.
When Feng returned to the house, she learned that the third brother had become a "hot commodity" in the village. Every family wanted to let their daughters meet him. Jiang Fengnian and the others laughed out loud.
Feng didn't know her son's intention yet, so she said, "Third brother, you are also twenty years old. It's time to get married. If you really meet a suitable girl in the village, it's not too late for us to take the initiative to go to her house and ask her."
Getting married?
After hearing this, Xiao Nuobao, who was dozing off with the quilt in her arms, suddenly became energetic.
She glanced at the handsome face of the third brother, wiped her drool, and wanted to show him the Red Luan line first.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao suddenly found that the Red Luan star of the third brother was not bright, and fell on a noble place.
There will definitely be a good marriage in the future!
So the little guy hurriedly crawled over and hugged Fengze's arm, like a little octopus, acting coquettishly and not daring to let go.
"No, no, don't rush to get married! Third sister-in-law is not in the village, so you are not allowed to meet her!"
No one understood what this meant. Jiang Fengze just thought his sister was cute. Listening to this sweet voice with sleepiness, his heart almost softened.
He couldn't help but hug his sister in his arms and made a promise immediately.
"Okay, third brother won't look for third sister-in-law, just accompany your sister, okay?" Jiang Fengze looked at the little Nuobao, his eyes almost popped out of stars.
After saying that, Jiang Fengze seemed to remember something, and took out a bag of silver from his bag and put it heavily in Feng's hand.
Feng weighed it and found that it weighed more than 100 taels. She was stunned for a moment: "Fengze, where did all this come from?"
Jiang Fengze was in the Xu army, and his monthly military pay was only two taels, and he had to pay for his own food and clothing. Even if he saved all of it, he wouldn't have that much.
"This is the silver reward given by the Ministry of War when I was appointed as Shang Yuhou." Jiang Fengze smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to get married, so you don't have to save it for me. You can spend it on your sister when you have nothing to do, buy her some small clothes, snacks, etc."
Feng felt that this silver reward was of extraordinary significance, so she wanted to accept it well: "Our family doesn't lack silver to spend, so mother will save it for you. When you get married in the future, you can take it out and use it."
Jiang Fengze shook his head and insisted, "Mom, I finally got home, and I just want to spend more time with you and my sister, and make up for what I have lacked in these years. I don’t even want to think about getting married. My sister is a girl, she needs to be raised in a wealthy family, and she can’t be short of clothes and food. Spending all the money on her will make all the suffering I have endured in the army these years worthwhile. "
Seeing Fengze being so serious, Mrs. Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In fact, she wanted to tell him that Nuobao really didn't have to worry about money, not to mention that the family had saved more than a thousand taels.
There were also several gold ingots given by Old Song and Mr. Xiao.
But these things were a long story, so Mrs. Feng smiled and agreed, and would tell him slowly in detail another day.
Little Nuobao looked at the heavy silver bag and smiled so brightly that her white teeth shone. She hugged Fengze's neck and rubbed his saliva on his neck. The brother and sister immediately laughed.
The third brother spoiled her like this, and the little girl was so happy that she wanted to "show off" to Jiang Fengze.
"San Guoguo raised Nuobao, and Nuobao can also raise San Guoguo!" Little Nuobao patted her chest and said with a smile: "What does San Guoguo want to eat? Pheasants, wild ducks, and white geese. I can get them for you if they are on the mountain, swimming in the water, or growing on the ground!"
Jiang Fengze had no idea of his sister's ability. He thought that the little girl was greedy and was asking for food, so he pinched her nose and smiled.
"It doesn't matter what Third Brother wants to eat. It depends on what our Nuobao wants to eat. By the way, Third Brother wants to go up the mountain to chop some firewood and practice his skills tomorrow. Third Brother will take you there and pick some bird eggs for you to roast, okay?"
Little Nuobao nodded immediately!
"Go up the mountain!"
When the time comes, she can show off her gifts to Third Brother!
Jiang Fengze didn't know what was going to happen. He smiled with his eyes curved. He went outside to make a backpack and carried his sister on his back.
