Chapter 471 Seeking Marriage

"Hey, mom, listen to me. I saw Tongshui and Lao Chen's granddaughter together. They were very close. Tongshui even helped her carry a bamboo basket. These two..."

Sun Pingmei glanced at Zhu Yingqiu.

She raised her eyebrows and didn't make her words very clear.

The bamboo basket was carried by the nephew, and it looked weird. The family had not used such a shabby bamboo basket for a long time. It must have belonged to Hongxia's child.

"What? Tongshui and Hongxia? When did these two become a couple? I've never seen them talking to each other before. Are you seeing things?" Zhu Yingqiu finally turned her attention to her sister-in-law.

She said in surprise.

"I saw it for real! Don't you trust my eyes? Besides, if you count the days, Tongshui and his brothers will be back today. It must be him, yes, it's him. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they looked so close. Sister-in-law, you might be a mother-in-law again."

Sun Pingmei joked.

"If it's true, then go and propose marriage early. Tongshui is not young anymore, and I don't think he will be satisfied anyway. Besides, I have watched Hongxia grow up. She is a good girl with a nice personality. If Tongshui likes her and Hongxia is willing, then we should settle it before the New Year."

Zhang Jinlan wiped her hands and said seriously.

"I'll go back and ask Tongshui what he says. He's taken this kid to see five girls, but he doesn't like any of them. When I asked him what kind of girl he wants, he said anything's fine. I'm really pissed. Anyway, I can't do anything about him. It's almost the end of the year, and he'll be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. We can't delay any longer.

I think Hongxia is a good girl. Although her family is a little poor, Old Chen has always had a good relationship with our family. Both families know each other well, so it is a good match. Oh, now that I think about it, I am afraid that the two of them have long been... No wonder this child always looks down on others. Why didn't she tell me? After all the twists and turns, didn't Pingmei meet her? "

Zhu Yingqiu has recovered from her shock.

She thought about it for a while and then accepted it calmly.

He even made up for his son's behavior some time ago.

"Tsk tsk, it looks like there's going to be another happy event in our family." After talking about the gossip, Sun Pingmei felt happier than after eating a cake.

"What happy event? Where did the happy event come from?" Jiang Dahe, who was walking in front of the shop, asked curiously.

"Brother, you have good news! You're going to be a father again soon." Sun Pingmei joked again.

"Ah? Mother of the child, are you pregnant?" Jiang Dahe was so scared that he loosened his grip and the plate broke into pieces.

"Go to hell, I'm not old enough to carry your balls." Zhu Yingqiu laughed angrily and glared at him fiercely.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Mom, did you hear that? Big brother wants to have a son or a daughter." Sun Pingmei held her belly and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

I wanted to just lie down on the ground and roll around.

"It's said that Tongshui is going to get married." Zhang Yanzi came out of the kitchen and explained to Jiang Dahao.

Although she was working just now, her ears were not idle.

"Brother, my second sister-in-law saw Tongshui and Hongxia strolling on the street together. They seemed to be getting along very well." Jiang Siyin also interjected.

"So they are from the same family. Second brother, look at your wife. She made such a joke and now it's no use to outsiders." Jiang Eryong happened to come to the backyard.

Jiang Dahao found someone to vent his anger on.

"Brother, if you don't want it, no matter how much Pingmei says, it will be useless. Besides, what she said was right. It seems that brother really hopes that sister-in-law will have another child." Jiang Eryong definitely stood on the side of his wife.

He was worried that his elder brother would beat him up after he said this.

He quickly slipped to his mother's side.

This is how I escaped.

Jiang Tongshui and Chen Hongxia, who had already separated, had no idea that their engagement date had already been arranged.

At that time, Jiang Fubao was sitting on a boat cruising the lake.

There is a small island in the center of the lake, and on the island there is a small temple. In the temple... there is an old monk. This old monk used to be the abbot of a temple in the imperial city. Later, no one knew what happened, but he came here.

I heard that this temple is the most effective for seeking marriage and wealth.

But if you want to go to the island, you have to take a boat.

Therefore, boatmen shouting can be seen everywhere on the lakeside.

The price seemed to have been agreed upon: ten cents for a round trip for one person. A boat could hold eight people, and the boatman would not start rowing until the boat was full.

If you like quietness or don't want to wait, there is another way to take the boat.

That is chartering a boat.

One boat, one sling, any number of people, set off immediately, as long as there are no more than eight people.

Jiang Fubao and his three companions chose to charter a boat.

This price can buy a lot of meat, it is not low, but the island in the middle of the lake is really far away. In the middle of winter, the boatman was sweating all over and took a lot of effort to row to the edge of the island. He then had to wait for them to get off the boat. He could only make three trips a day.

Sometimes the weather is bad or there are few people, so there are only one or two trips a day.

Can't even open.

Every month, they also have to pay tribute to the officials who manage the lake.

If the boat is damaged, it will cost a lot to repair it.

It's really hard-earned money.

The road on the island is not flat, and it is a bit like climbing a mountain, but compared to the high mountain behind Jiangjia Village, it is just like a small dirt slope.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the temple.

As he crossed the threshold, Jiang Fubao smelled a strong scent of incense.

Although the temple is not big, there are about ten people inside.

Some were surrounding the old monk, and some were burning incense and praying.

There is not only the old monk in the temple, there is also a young monk busying around.

Jiang Fubao walked over and wanted to buy some incense, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw the little monk in front of him froze.

"You don't need to buy incense. If you really want to give money, just put some incense money in the donation box."

The little monk put his hands together and said to Jiang Fubao.

"Okay, then please give me three incense sticks." Jiang Fubao stretched out her hand and the little monk handed it to her.

Meng Bujiu also took three. Xue Huan didn't ask for anything. She was living a happy life every day. Besides, this temple only sought money and marriage, which had nothing to do with her. So, she squatted aside and spent her time looking at the dead grass on the ground.

Lingshan did take three sticks of incense and bowed in all directions, praying to the Buddha to grant him a good marriage.

The young master once said that as long as he met the right one, he would help him find a wife.

Jiang Fubao wished that his family would make a lot of money and remain wealthy until the day he died.

It would be best if there is no shortage of money within ten generations.

When Meng Bujiu made a wish, he glanced at Jiang Fubao beside him.

He muttered to himself.

[Please pray to the Buddha to bless sister Fubao with a good marriage in the future, so that she can be pampered and live a carefree life. ]

"Brother Bujiu, are you okay? What wish did you make?" After lighting the incense, Jiang Fubao took out a piece of silver and put it into the merit box, then asked curiously.

"If you tell me, it won't work." Meng Bujiu chuckled twice and refused to say anything. He picked out the heaviest silver coin from his purse.
