"Little sister, are you going to Pengdong?"
"No, I'm a partner with Dongsheng in running a horse business. I asked him to help me buy a shop outside. If he comes back with any news, I'm afraid I'll have to go and take a look. After all, we're partners. It doesn't matter whether it's okay or not, but I need to understand the basic situation."
Tian looked at her with great admiration, "Little sister, the person I admire most in my life is you. You always do what you want to do and do it well."
"Now that I don't have to worry about money, it's useless to mess around." She smiled and shook her head. "It's not really useless, it's called investing. Maybe Dongsheng can help me make a lot of money in the horse business in the future."
Tian thought of Dongsheng and suddenly smiled at Chunxiao. "Little sister, what do you think of Dongsheng?"
Chunxiao thought for a moment and said, "He's quite good. He's capable and down-to-earth. I feel quite relieved to be in partnership with him." She looked at Tian and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you asking this?"
Tian's eyes flickered as she took a sip of water from her bowl. "Nothing, just asking casually. I think it's a good idea, but it's a little strange. He's not young anymore, but Uncle Shizhu isn't in a hurry. There are people in our village who have come to propose marriage, but I heard they were all rejected."
Chunxiao suddenly became curious, "Did Uncle Shizhu make any requests? Did he have any requests?" Thinking about it, Dongsheng was actually an official, so he was probably different from ordinary people.
"What request? I haven't even heard of it. I wonder what those father and son are thinking."
"Sister-in-law, now that Shuwen's matter is settled, do you want to be a matchmaker?" She heard that people in this village like to be matchmakers when they get older. She looked at Tian and thought it was very possible.
Tian knew from the look in her eyes that she must have been thinking too far ahead again. "I just said that casually, but speaking of matchmaking, let me tell you, several families in our village have recently set their sights on Xiaoxue and have come to us to inquire about our opinions. Regarding this matter, we still need Huaitian to come back and see what he thinks. Although we are nominally elders, there is still a layer of distance between us. This marriage must be decided by the brother and sister themselves."
"Xiaoxue is old enough now, sister-in-law, you can find a suitable one and give it to Huaitian for reference."
"Let me tell you, even my aunt's family has taken a liking to Xiaoxue and has sent someone to tell Mom about it."
"Which aunt?" Chunxiao didn't react for a moment.
"It's my mother's sister-in-law. Her grandson is 18 this year, but they haven't mentioned her yet. When Shufeng got married last year, she said she would find someone in our village. Later, she fell in love with Xiaoxue, but she's not here, so they haven't taken any action. I don't know how they found out she's back these days, and she even asked someone to bring a message to me a few days ago."
"What does our mother think?" Chunxiao was not familiar with her uncle's family, mainly because she had rarely visited them before.
"Our mother said she doesn't make the decision. Although she has good intentions and thinks that my aunt's family has lived an honest and peaceful life for so many years and is a good match, but this matter still needs to be decided by them. I think Xiaoxue is definitely not willing to leave our Yanjia Village."
That's right. She only has one brother, Yang Huaitian, and now she is also close to them. If it were her, she would definitely choose to marry into the village first. She suddenly thought of Dongsheng, "Sister-in-law, I think it would be good for Xiaoxue to marry Dongsheng. She is only one year younger than Shufeng. Didn't you plan to marry Shufeng to Dongsheng in the beginning?"
Tian suddenly choked and smiled, "It's not our turn to make the decision on either side of this matter. We can only gossip on the sidelines. Besides, Dongsheng is still a little older than her."
"When he grows up, he'll be more caring." Chun Xiao smiled. "Next time I meet Dongsheng, I'll mention this to him. Maybe he'll thank me."
The two rested for a while and then returned to the field.
Chunxiao's cellar took ten days to complete. On the day of completion, she went down the stairs to take a look. There was an oil lamp stand underneath. After it was lit, the space below was more spacious than she had imagined. Bricks were laid all around, carefully and smoothly, with stone slabs underneath and wooden boards on top.
"Dad, even if you don't farm in the future, you can form your own bricklaying team. You can do this job just as well as others." She touched the walls around her and found no cracks at all.
Yan Bingfa laughed and said, "I've helped build so many houses before and after, I'm used to it."
"Chunxiao, I think you can hide anything here. It's such a big place."
"Dad, why don't we secretly build one at home? I think it's nice to have a hidden place like this to store important things."
"Shu Wen's idea is feasible. If we have time, we can build one there as well. I think it's feasible to store food."
Chunxiao and the others looked around inside for a while. It was just a slightly rectangular space. There wasn't anything interesting to see. They turned off the lights and came up from downstairs. Chunxiao was very satisfied. They then covered the surface with thin stone slabs. Sure enough, there was no sign that there was a special space here. There was no need to be afraid of stepping on it because there were thick wooden boards underneath.
"If you want to get in, just use a thin piece of wood to pry the stone slab open. It's not thick, but it's large, so it'll take some effort to pry it open. But it's not impossible to move, and you wouldn't put ordinary things in there."
Chunxiao stomped on the ground and said, "That's it. My room is now complete. Thank you, Dad, thank you, Big Brother, and Shuwen."
"We are family, so why should we be polite? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
When the three of them left, they were still discussing going back to their house to dig a cellar. Chunxiao saw them off and found Xiaohua, asking her to accompany him to the farm tomorrow. Now that the cellar was repaired, it was time to transfer the money back and keep it there.
