"He's fine, don't worry. The teacher even praised him. I'll let him come over to reunite with you in a few months."
At noon, when they were having lunch together, the old lady pulled her aside to talk. Although Chunxiao couldn't see, she could tell that the old lady was being taken care of very well and was always clean. She kept praising Xingfu for being sensible and filial, and she almost felt embarrassed by praising Xingfu.
"Aunt, you've praised my sister to the skies. Look at her, her ears are all red." Xiaohua was very happy. "My brother-in-law just knows how to smile foolishly."
"You're so disrespectful and unruly." Xingfu picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and said, "Forget about it in front of us, but learn to be more calm in front of the young lady in the future."
"Don't talk about her anymore. Look at how calm Meiman used to be. Now she's become so noisy."
"That's all because of you, young lady, who spoiled me like this." The atmosphere was so pleasant when a group of people sat together to have a meal.
Chunxiao had originally thought of going to Hejian to take a look while it wasn't too hot, but since he only had less than 7,000 silver coins, he was worried about not being able to buy the land he liked, so he decided to give up and wait until September to make plans. Besides, the grain harvest was coming soon, so he had to see how much he could get.
Yan Dashan took Shuwen to Sanchuan County these two days. If they found a good and suitable piece of land, they would buy it directly. I'm afraid they will have to stay outside for a few more days.
Now that the people in the farm are becoming more and more capable, she feels a lot more relaxed. Shufeng seldom comes to the farm since the shop opened, and she only visits occasionally when she goes to town.
The little girl's braised meat shop is becoming more and more prosperous. Every time she goes back, there are always people lining up. Sometimes she closes in half a day.
Yang Huaitian always goes to the department store early and comes back late, sometimes it takes several days for him to return. Braised meat sells very well in the county town. Someone has approached him and asked him to supply it on a regular basis, but he refused. He knows the essence of what Chunxiao said, that the best thing is to have a missing bite. In addition to this, there is another reason, which is that he does not want to cause trouble for Tian and others.
As always, every time it is 50 kilograms, it is sold out every time it arrives in the county town, so the price naturally goes up.
The end of July is the hottest time of the year, and the grain harvest has begun. Everyone is busy. They hired people from the village to work as temporary workers to help harvest the grain in the grain fields. Ruyun Village hired dozens of permanent workers, and although a few people were transferred away, the work was done faster than before. However, they not only had to take care of the wheat fields, but also the cotton fields, so they were still busy and tense.
At the end of the month, Dongsheng suddenly came, this time he came alone. In response to Shufeng's matter, Chunxiao was very enthusiastic towards him and asked Meiman to go to Linye Village to pick up Tian.
Dongsheng didn't expect that Tian and the others would come, and he seemed a little overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.
"Dongsheng, are you out here to do some shopping again this time?"
"Dongsheng, are you going back to Qingzhou?" Tian looked at her with satisfaction.
"I'm going to Qingzhou and Yunzhou to transport grain. I should go back soon. Aunt, why are you here? Where's uncle?"
"How many days are you going to stay here? Your uncle should be back from the next county town soon. Shufeng is here too. You haven't seen her for a long time. She opened a braised meat shop in town."
"I can't stay any longer. I have to leave tomorrow at the latest." He smiled and touched his head. "I was just passing by and came to see Sister Chunxiao. I didn't expect you to be here too. When did you get here? Is my father home?"
"We came here in April. Your father is doing well. There is something I want to tell you in advance." Tian looked at Chunxiao and then at Dongsheng. "You are a good young man. I have agreed with your father to marry our Shufeng to you." After Tian said this, she looked at the silly Dongsheng and laughed.
Dongsheng was stunned for a moment before he stood up and asked, "How can that be possible?"
"Why not? I've already told your father about it. He's very happy."
"I'm so much older than her, how can I marry her? Besides, I can't even say when I can go back. Aunt, you're being too hasty. Isn't this going to harm Shufeng?"
"The time it takes for you to return is indeed a problem. It won't take several years, right?" Tian was indeed worried. "I heard that a group of people returned to the village some time ago. Do you think it will take even longer?"
"That's hard to say." Dongsheng's eyes dodged. "Aunt, please don't delay Shufeng. This won't work."
Tian was originally very happy, thinking that it would definitely succeed. Who knew it would end up like this? "What should I do? If you don't know when you'll return, that's really a problem. Waiting for a year would be fine, but I can't wait for two or three years."
"So, Auntie, I'm afraid I can't accept your family's kindness. You can't let Shufeng get hurt because of me. You should find a suitable family for her as soon as possible."
If they waited a year or two and the person showed up, it wouldn't matter. But if they died after a year or two, then Shufeng would have been wasted. Tian really didn't dare to gamble on this matter. She sighed, "What a good marriage! This battle is won! Okay, wait for your uncle to come back and I'll listen to his opinion. But I don't know what to say to your father."
"Aunt, don't worry, I'll go back and tell him and he'll know."
Chunxiao looked at Dongsheng and felt that there must be some other reason why he refused so quickly. But no matter what the reason was, she was not in a position to ask at the moment. It was just a pity that such a good candidate was to be wasted.
After something happened, Tian became a little depressed.
Dongsheng looked at them awkwardly. "I, I just came to take a look. Sister Chunxiao, remember to leave me another 50,000 kilograms of cotton." Seeing Chunxiao nod, he pinched his sleeve and said, "By the way, Sister Chunxiao, if you want to invest more, you can go to Hejian and Fangzhou. They are safe there now, but the farming is declining. It seems that the provincial government has issued a decree with policies to benefit farmers, but I don't know the details."
