Chapter 88 "Visiting the Temple Fair"
However, even though Xia Daohua tried every means to act cute and spoiled, Xia Youtian and Jiang refused to give in.
The couple has made it a top priority to show Lihua their love.
The money-making team's small business has just started not long ago, and they have not yet paid the bills to their families.
Xia Youtian and Jiang thought that this was just a joke among the kids and they never expected to make money from it.
How could this matter be weighed on the same scale as "finding a good husband for Lihua"?
Because Xia Daohua was too stubborn and persistent, she almost lost the right to go shopping and playing at the temple fair with the fourth roommate and his wife.
She had no choice but to compromise temporarily and promised to be obedient and not make any trouble when the time comes.
With tears in her eyes, she looked pitifully for Lihua to help her.
With Lihua's strong support, he was able to regain the qualification to go out with his family on the day of the temple fair.
However, Xia Daohua has made up her mind that she will act according to circumstances when the time comes.
If the two sides get along well, the most important thing is that if Lihua likes the boy named Dai, she will secretly find out about his situation.
If Lihua didn't like that boy, she would find a way to set up the stall.
Take advantage of the busy temple fair and make some extra money.
As the initiator and first captain of the money-making team, you must always think about making money!
April 8th arrived quickly, amid the eager anticipation of the couple in the fourth room.
On the seventh day, there was a strong wind all day long. Everyone thought it might rain heavily on the eighth day, but on the eighth day, the sun was shining brightly with a clear sky.
Xia Youtian and Jiang got up early in the morning. Xia Youtian went to the fields under the stars and came back after working in the fields for more than an hour.
Not only did Jiang quickly prepare a breakfast that was much more sumptuous than usual, she also went through the trouble of cooking a few eggs and shared them with the children.
Lihua's originally calm mood was infected by the couple's nervous and helpless mood, and she became nervous.
Xia Daohua smiled and livened up the atmosphere:
"It's said that if a family has a daughter, hundreds of families will want her. My sister is so beautiful, she must be wanted by thousands of families!"
"Tsk, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lihua rolled her eyes at Xia Daohua, but she was still very beautiful when she rolled her eyes.
After hearing this, Jiang calmed down a bit - she was the girl's family, why was she so nervous? Even if the girl didn't like Lihua, she could just change to another family.
There are many bachelors in this world who cannot find wives, but there are no girls who cannot get married.
What's more, Lihua is so beautiful, so smart, so generous, so filial, and so hardworking and capable.
Although Jiang had calmed down, Xia Youtian's mood seemed to be even worse.
Xia Daohua pursed her lips and smiled. Xia Youtian couldn't bear to part with his daughter!
She hasn't even gotten married yet, but he's reluctant to let her go just after seeing her. When Lihua gets married, will Xia Youtian hide and cry secretly without telling anyone?
However, Xia Daohua's smile did not last for a few seconds.
She couldn't help but think of her modern relatives.
One of my grandfather's deepest and greatest wishes back then was that she could marry a good man and have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
Xia Daohua has different ideas from her grandfather.
She always felt that if you rely on mountains, they will fall, and if you rely on people, they will run away. It is better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth.
But she was filial and never argued with her grandfather; her grandfather loved her so much that he never forced her to go on blind dates or urged her to get married as soon as possible.
But the grandfather and grandson both knew each other's concerns.
Later, seeing how hard Xia Daohua worked, grandpa felt a little more at ease.
This child is well-educated, has seen a lot of the world, can make money and is capable. I think she can live without a man.
Although grandpa still couldn't help but worry secretly, a lonely and busy female boss always lived a much more comfortable life than a lonely and poor female farmhand.
Before her grandfather passed away, he had a long talk with her, formally talking about the fact that he hoped she would choose a suitable man to marry. Xia Daohua's eyes were slightly moist.
Until her grandfather passed away, she was still unable to fulfill his wish.
Perhaps, I am destined to be alone...
Lihua discovered that Xia Daohua was distracted again.
Ever since Xia Daohua woke up from her coma, it seems that she often finds herself daydreaming while talking.
However, Doctor Wang said that as long as the rice flowers did not become dull-eyed and slow to react, it would not be a big deal.
If you are really worried, you can also take some tonic decoctions. But tonic herbs are usually more expensive...
There are obvious hints in every word.
Naturally, the Xia family would not be ungrateful - Doctor Wang had reduced their medical expenses more than once, and he always tried his best to prescribe medicines that were both cheap and effective.
Since he thinks that the condition of the rice flowers is not a disease, then we should just listen to him!
After all, although Xia Daohua would suddenly become dazed sometimes, she was much smarter in what she said and did than before.
Many people in the village were saying that although Daohua, the girl from the fourth room of the Xia family, had suffered some hardships this time, it could be considered a blessing in disguise!
The brain that was originally a little dull was finally awakened by the fall!
Although Jiang was not so nervous anymore, she still valued this first meeting, so she changed Lihua into a nice outfit for going out to meet guests.
This is a New Year's shirt I made a few days ago, altered from Jiang's clothes.
The material was only about 70% new, but the size fit her perfectly, making the pear blossom look even more upright and graceful.
It’s a pity that this dress is quilted, and it will be a little hot to wear after the Qingming Festival.
Fortunately, the skin of pear blossoms is white, so there is no need to apply powder.
Otherwise, if I wear this and walk around in the hot temple fair, the sweat alone will wash away the powder on my face.
Although the life of the fourth branch of the Xia family is much better than before the family split up, Xia Youtian and Jiang have become accustomed to being frugal.
So even though there was some income, people were still very restrained when it came to spending.
They only slightly improved the food to ensure that everyone in the four rooms had enough to eat, but they did not buy any new clothes.
This has led to the current situation - except for this one, Lihua's other clothes are too shabby and really not suitable to wear to a blind date.
There is no other way, I will just have to walk slowly and sweat less.
It would be better to find a teahouse, where everyone could sit down and drink tea and talk slowly. It would also save a pretty girl like Lihua from walking around sweating and looking unremarkable.
Jiang finally got the whole family ready, and at a command, the whole family set off to Beiguan Town to "visit the temple fair."
