Hua Ziqiang smiled.
"I'll try my best to get the three turns and one ring. If I can't, I'll convert it into cash and give it to the woman. I don't want her to work hard after she gets married. She can just do whatever chores are needed around the house. I can fetch water, chop wood, and cook.
"Besides, I have to support my younger siblings in school, you know. After we get married, Ergou and I will each pay half, and half of the money we earn will be given to our younger siblings."
Matchmaker Fang was moved by what she heard.
She couldn't help but say, "If my family didn't have a suitable girl, I would have asked my daughter to marry you."
"What's that? I know you just want to find an honest girl without any evil intentions. Isn't that easy to find?"
Matchmaker Fang knew that Hua Ziqiang went out to set up a stall to make money.
Although it looks hard, the income is actually not bad at all.
Just look at the fact that his family has four bicycles and can support his three younger brothers and sisters to go to school - he used to support four by himself, and you will understand.
These are enough to prove that Hua Ziqiang earns a lot of money.
And they don't require women to give birth to sons, nor do they require women to take care of all the housework.
Those men think that it is easy for women to do housework, but only women know best that these housework is not easy at all.
It can be said that marrying into Hua Ziqiang's family is a blessing.
If he still cares about raising his younger siblings, then he would be a bit ungrateful.
Besides, Hua Ziqiang's family has no parents or relatives to help, and the younger ones are still studying, so it is normal for his brother to provide support.
Once the younger ones graduate, they will definitely no longer need their older brother to support them.
How many years will it take?
Even if we take a step back and assume that the two youngest ones are admitted to university, it will only take five or six years!
A couple has spent their whole lives together, can’t they afford to wait for five or six years?
I'm not short of money to begin with, and when my younger brother and sister-in-law graduate, I won't have to spend half of the money anymore. That's the good life I've always wanted.
Matchmaker Fang promised on the spot: "I have already thought of a few people in mind. Please wait for a moment. I will go talk to them tomorrow and come back to tell you after we have agreed."
Hua Ziqiang said, "Thank you very much for your help."
Matchmaker Fang waved her hand: "It's okay, you go back first, and come over tomorrow afternoon."
When Hua Ziqiang saw the matchmaker's attitude, he thought it seemed very promising and immediately became very excited.
He said goodbye to matchmaker Fang and went home. When he passed by Lao Hua's house, he smelled the aroma of mutton soup coming from the house.
Just smelling the peppery lamb aroma is like imagining how warm it will feel when you drink it.
On this cold day with a bleak wind, it’s time to drink a bowl of mutton soup to warm up your body.
Hua Ziqiang turned around and was about to go find Wu Muxiang to buy some mutton when he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
"Erniu, go back and call Ergou to join you in drinking mutton soup!"
Hua Ziqiang turned around and saw Hua Wanyan standing in front of the door facing the main entrance, calling him.
Hua Ziqiang immediately changed his mind: "I understand, I'll go right away!"
Wan Qingliu was in a good mood and went into the space to take a look.
Then, I saw groups of fat chickens, pigs, cows and sheep.
It happened to be the winter solstice, and Wan Qingliu fell into deep thought while looking at the sheep.
She decided to make a pot of mutton soup.
A whole sheep is cut open, the stove ash is taken out and the internal organs are washed several times until they are clean and have no odor, then they are put into a clean basin.
Chop the remaining meat into parts, put them into the pot, add onion, ginger, garlic and water and stew directly.
The aroma of the stew can spread far away.
Hua Wanchi and Xiaole returned home from school. As they rubbed their hands as they entered the house, they saw a charcoal fire burning in the main hall, and they immediately felt a lot warmer.
Hua Wanchi exhaled a puff of white mist: "It's so cold outside."
The wind blew into my neck, making my whole body icy cold, and my hands were freezing to the bone.
Hua Jingmin: "Your grandma is stewing mutton soup in the kitchen. Drink a few more sips later. Mutton is warm in nature and will warm your body."
Xiaole ran to the brazier happily and stretched out his hands to warm the fire.
My numb hands finally felt some warmth. The warmth wrapped around my fingers, and the bone-chilling cold seemed to slowly melt away.
Because of contact with the heat source, my fingers turned red, like carrots.
That's how it is in the South.
No matter how thickly you wear, you can't resist the pervasive damp cold, and you can't help shivering from the cold.
Zhou Baozhen watched Xiaole warming his hands, then reached out and rubbed his hands in her warm palms.
"You're just frozen, and now you're putting it on the fire. It's both cold and hot. I'm afraid you'll get frostbite."
The conditions at home are not bad, so we can afford a pair of warm gloves.
But I still have to stretch my hands to write, which is not very convenient when wearing gloves.
So Xiaole simply stopped wearing it.
As for Hua Wanchi, she has a strong body, sufficient yang energy, and abundant heat. She is in a very good spirit and her hands will never get frostbite.
Sometimes Xiaole feels that his aunt is so energetic that she never seems to feel tired no matter what she does.
"Let's have mutton soup!"
The mutton soup was served steaming hot, and a pile of bowls, chopsticks and spoons were also piled on the table.
Anyone who wanted to eat could take a bowl and scoop it up. Everyone was slurping the soup while turning their bowls. The room was filled with steam, and Hua Ziqiang and his brother pushed the door open with a chill in their air.
Wan Qingliu called out, "It's really cold out here, Erniu, Ergou, come and have some mutton soup to warm yourself up."
Half a sheep was put into a large soup pot and stewed for a whole afternoon. The soup was already glossy and translucent, and it was warm and fresh in every mouthful.
I used the remaining half to make another pot of soup, which...
It is for the children in the tutoring class to drink.
The weather is cold, and many children have frostbite on their hands, feet and faces. It is a bit inhumane to ask them to write in the cold breath.
Hua Wanchi felt at ease instantly after asking them to eat some mutton and drink some soup to warm themselves up before writing.
Red dates and ginger are added to the soup, which makes it nourishing and warming.
Hua Wanchi felt that the house needed to be warmed up.
Just drinking soup is only a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease.
She decided to install a heating system in the tutoring class.
This, of course, doesn't require electricity; it's just a simple water heating circulation system—but using electricity will obviously improve heating efficiency.
So, the next day, the little clay man started working and spent three days installing a water heating circulation system in the house, which consisted of a stove, pipes, radiators, and electric pumps.
Before the installation was completed, Hua Wanchi gave the children three days off.
After the installation, the children returned to the tutoring classroom with extremely heavy hearts.
As soon as you step into the classroom, a warm atmosphere hits you.
“It’s so warm!”
Hua Wanchi stood on the podium: "Don't complain to me that it's too cold to write! It's so warm now, give me an extra set of papers today!"
A wailing sound was heard.
"No—Chi Bao!"
Hua Wanchi grinned.
