"But--"
Qin Nian looked at Mrs. Li and Wu Kuaitui: "Geng Feng is 19 years old and I am 16 years old. We are engaged? A baby marriage?"
Judging by the standards of the previous life, at such a young age, isn’t she just a baby?
"Ouch."
Wu Kuaitui slapped his thigh and laughed: "Girl, is Geng Feng still young at 19? My man became a father at 19.
You should be engaged when you are sixteen."
Mrs. Li pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Nian, you just need to consider whether Geng Feng is pleasing to your eyes and whether you like him.
If you don’t like it, it’s such a big deal in your life, grandma won’t force you to compromise.
If you like her and she's young, we can get engaged first and get married in two years, what do you think?"
Qin Nian continued to ponder in his mind:
I can't go back to my previous life, so it would be nice to find someone to spend my life with here, especially Geng Feng, who has been educated and can read.
He is brave, kind, responsible, and smart. He is a good man.
Qin Nian nodded and said generously: "Geng Feng is good, I agree."
What? You really make the decision yourself? No need to nod or shake your head to express it? This is too unexpected. Wu Kuaitui has been a matchmaker for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a person.
It would be strange if she wasn't shocked.
Granny Li laughed proudly, "Aunt Wu, my little Nian is straightforward, right?
The children I raised know when something is okay, it is okay; when something is not okay, it is not okay. They never act in a timid way.
In the whole Dawa Village, there is no girl more straightforward than my Xiao Nian. "
Mrs. Li gave a thumbs up: "Thumbs up."
"Like, like."
Wu Kuai Tui stammered and stood up quickly, "I'm going to go next door to reply to the Geng family.
Come back to discuss the betrothal gifts after you reply."
Granny Li laughed, "There's no need to negotiate the betrothal gifts, just give them as you see fit. Geng Zhenhai and Ye Meizi are the most reliable people, and Xiao Nian and I are not difficult to talk to."
Wu walked out of the house quickly and walked over the low wall without going through the main door.
Seeing her enter the house, the three members of the Geng family were very nervous. Six eyes were looking at her, especially Geng Feng, who was even more nervous than when he was hunting wild boars in the mountains.
Wu Kuaitui clapped his hands and said, "Brother Geng and Sister Geng, great joy, congratulations to you.
Aunt Li and Xiao Nian both agreed to this marriage. The two grandparents and grandchildren did not hesitate at all. They are really straightforward people. "
Ye Meizi smiled and said, "Don't worry, our family is also straightforward."
"Oh, both families are straightforward, so things will be much easier."
Geng Feng's heart finally settled down, and he secretly waved his fist with joy.
His house consists of three rooms, two bedrooms on the east and west sides, and a kitchen in the middle.
His parents and Wu Kuaitui were discussing the betrothal plan, but Geng Feng was too embarrassed to listen in on them, so he hid in the west room where he slept and secretly enjoyed the conversation.
Because there are a lot of things to buy, the engagement will be scheduled for two days later.
The next day, after breakfast, Geng Feng was thinking about installing a door in the cave and planting some vegetables on the edge of the field.
I agreed with Qin Nian yesterday morning to go up the mountain together today, but in the afternoon they confirmed their engagement.
Geng Feng hesitated. He wanted to go up the mountain with Qin Nian, but he was embarrassed to call Qin Nian like he did before.
He could go alone, but he wanted to be with Qin Nian.
Ye Meizi encouraged her son: "Didn't you hear what Wu Kuaitui said yesterday? When he asked Xiao Nian whether she agreed to the marriage, Xiao Nian said yes openly.
You are a man, why are you so shy? Go and call Xiao Nian, let’s go up the mountain together and finish all the work on the mountain.”
The young man's slightly red face showed a handsome smile: "Mom, I'll go right away."
"Geng Feng, let's go up the mountain."
Qin Nian's sweet girlish voice came into the house from the other side of the low wall.
"Look, it's worse than Xiao Nian, isn't it?"
Ye Meizi tapped Geng Feng's forehead and said, "Go quickly. Once you are in the mountains, you will have to work harder than usual and you must be considerate of your wife."
Geng Zhenhai took over the conversation: "If you don't know what to do, just think about how I treat your mother, and you will know."
“Hey hey.”
Geng Feng agreed and hurried out of the house, saying, "I'm coming, I'm coming."
The two people went up the mountain one after the other.
After all, they are young people, and they soon got over their discomfort and returned to being normal again.
"Xiao Nian, I got a lot of seeds. Take a look and see what you want to plant. I'll go to the cave and get the farm tools.
However, these seeds are from three years ago. I don’t know if they can still grow after being left for so long.”
Qin Nian took the small cloth bag containing the seeds and said, "Go ahead."
Geng Feng walked with his long legs to get the farm tools. Qin Nian sat on a rock and opened the small cloth bag.
There were several smaller cloth bags inside, containing eggplant seeds, cucumber seeds, tomato seeds, squash seeds, and even cantaloupe seeds and watermelon seeds.
"Aunt Geng is very diligent. She got so many seeds."
Geng Feng quickly brought the farm tools over: "Xiao Nian, should we plant the land first or carry water to irrigate the land first?"
In the past, Geng Feng would always tell Qin Nian what to do first and what to do later, but now he would ask Qin Nian unconsciously.
Qin Nian said, "It's morning now, so it's cooler. Let's water the land first, and then plant the land when it gets hotter."
The two big buckets in Geng Feng's house were both filled with honey.
Every day when I fetch water, I use Qin Nian’s bucket, and every time I help Qin Nian’s family fetch water.
What surprised Geng Feng was that there was always enough water in Qin Nian's water tank.
He thought that Qin Nian and Mrs. Li were using it sparingly, but he didn't know that they had spiritual spring water.
Geng Feng's family had a small bucket, so he used that bucket to fetch water. Qin Nian used a gourd-made ladle to pour water into each pit one by one.
She watered the plants very rarely, and when Geng Feng went to fetch water from the Mimosa Spring, she took the opportunity to water the plants with the spiritual spring water.
The two worked until noon and watered the ground. Geng Feng and Qin Nian washed their hands by the shy fountain. Geng Feng said:
"It's hot and windy at noon, let's go to the cave to eat, and then come back to farm after we finish eating."
Qin Nian nodded in agreement. He asked Geng Feng to carry a bucket of water, and she walked towards the cave with melon seeds and watermelon seeds.
When I passed by the field of dandelions, I found that the flowers had all withered, turned into small white umbrellas, and flew away.
By the next year, many dandelions will grow again.
The soil here was a bit thin, but Qin Nian didn't care much and scattered the melon seeds on the ground.
It's good to be able to harvest, but if you can't, there's no loss.
Geng Feng poured the bucket of water on the mountain.
"After I finish planting the land, I'll bring a few buckets of water to water it again."
Qin Nian shook his head: "Not for now."
Lunch consisted of millet rice, fried potato chips with shepherd's purse, and a handful of boiled wild boar meat, cut into slices.
When the wild boar meat was put into the jar, a lot of salt was added to make it bacon. Ye Meizi stewed it in the yard for an hour last night until it was tender.
The dish contains wild boar meat and no salt is needed, the taste is just right.
After finishing their meal, the two men returned to the field and planted vegetables on half of the ridge at the edge of the field.
All along the perimeter of the field, it was planted.
Geng Feng didn’t know whether he could grow vegetables, but Qin Nian was confident that he could.
After finishing the work, the sunset will bloom again.
knock off.
