When he arrived in the town, Pei Shaorong followed Aunt Qin's instructions and bought some common wedding cakes and snacks here, as well as two pots of rice wine, six pounds of glutinous rice flour, two pounds of brown sugar and a string of firecrackers.
These are the things that must be prepared for marriage proposals in Linjiang Village, not to mention wedding cakes, snacks, wine and firecrackers, which are indispensable no matter where you go.
Glutinous rice flour and brown sugar are used to make dumplings for the bride's family, which symbolizes perfection, sweetness and happiness. This is a custom in Linjiang Village.
As for the pork, Pei Shaorong was going to take it directly from his own space. These things were almost enough for proposing marriage and paying the betrothal gift, and he could just add the money for the betrothal gift when the time came.
Pei Shaorong also bought two pieces of red cloth for wedding dresses, red candles, wedding paper and other things needed for the wedding.
There are still many things to prepare when getting married. Since you are already here, you might as well buy some of them first so that you won’t be too busy by yourself when the time comes.
As for whether Old Man Mo would agree to let Mo Xiaobao marry him, this was not a question that Pei Shaorong was concerned about. In short, he was determined to marry Mo Xiaobao.
If normal means don't work, he'll just resort to extraordinary means. He doesn't feel it's despicable to use coercion and inducement, as this is for his future wife!
Because it was a sudden decision to go to the town, it was already dark when Pei Shaorong returned to the village after buying things. As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a thin figure hiding at the door and looking around. It was Mo Xiaobao.
Seeing Mo Xiaobao's sneaky look, Pei Shaorong smiled in his heart. Why does this little guy like to do this kind of thing? He was like this when he was waiting for him in the back mountain last time. He was as cute as a squirrel.
"A Bao!" Pei Shaorong walked quickly to Mo Xiaobao, full of joy. "Are you waiting for me?"
"Ah...Brother Pei, you're back..."
Mo Xiaobao was startled when Pei Shaorong suddenly stood in front of him. Then he nervously looked around to see if there was anyone around, and quickly took out a cloth package from his arms and stuffed it into Pei Shaorong's hand.
"Brother Pei, these shoes are done... I can't make your clothes anymore, sorry, please find someone else to make them for you!"
Mo Xiaobao's voice was a little low. He lowered his head, stuffed the thing into Pei Shaorong's hand and prepared to leave. In a few days, his father would exchange the engagement letter with the people in Shanghe Village and he would have to marry there. He would have no time to help Brother Pei make clothes.
From now on, I will never see Brother Pei again. Today, he finally found a chance to escape without telling his father. If the villagers saw him, it would be bad for both him and Brother Pei.
Anyway, he can't find a good family, and he's going to marry into another village soon, and things will be like that in the future. It would be bad if it caused Brother Pei to lose his reputation in the village.
Mo Xiaobao thought a lot these days and finally figured it out. His father was right. No man would like someone like him now. It would be good enough if he could get married.
How could Brother Pei like him? He just felt sorry for him. Even if he liked him, how could a boy like him be worthy of Brother Pei?
But, but Brother Pei held his hand that day. If he didn't like him, why would he hold the hand of an unmarried man? Woohoo, Mo Xiaobao felt so sad when he thought that Pei Shaorong might be concerned about his reputation.
This was the first time in his life that a man liked him and treated him well. It was also the first time that he had someone he liked, but in the end, it was gone like this, wuwu...
Mo Xiaobao lowered his head sadly and turned to leave. After taking two steps, he suddenly felt someone pulling him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Pei Shaorong holding his hand.
"Pei, Brother Pei, please let go. It's not good if the villagers see us..." Mo Xiaobao struggled anxiously.
"Abao, wait a minute, I have something to tell you..."
Pei Shaorong did not let go. He looked around to see that there was no one around, then pulled Mo Xiaobao into his yard and locked the door. In the countryside, many people would enter the house without knocking.
After being dragged into the house by him and seeing him lock the door, Mo Xiaobao stared at Pei Shaorong's tall figure nervously, "Brother Pei, why did you lock the door?"
A single man and an unmarried young man are staying in a room together with the door locked. What does Brother Pei want to do?
Mo Xiaobao blushed, pinching the corner of his clothes, feeling a little overwhelmed, secretly cursing himself for being shameless. If it were any other boy, his first reaction would probably be to shout, what the hell am I thinking...
Although it was getting dark at this moment, it was not so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Then there was a faint light, and Pei Shaorong saw Mo Xiaobao staring in a daze with a red face, and smiled in his heart.
"Abao, I heard your father found another marriage for you?"
Upon hearing this, all the random thoughts that Mo Xiaobao had just had disappeared. His mood suddenly became low. He glanced at Pei Shaorong and nodded.
"Well, that family is from Shanghe Village. I will be married there in two days after the engagement is set, so...Brother Pei, I don't have time to make your clothes for you..."
"Then are you willing to marry to Shanghe Village?" Pei Shaorong continued, "I heard that the man is quite old..."
"I..." Mo Xiaobao paused, forcing himself to smile, "I am willing to marry him. Although he is a little older, his family is well-off, so it's a good match..."
Is it okay if you don't want to? Where can he marry? With his conditions and reputation, there was no place for him to choose from.
"Abao..." Pei Shaorong called out, and reached out to grab Mo Xiaobao's hand again, ignoring his struggle and pulling him in front of him.
"Abao, you don't want to marry into Shanghe Village, right? You don't like that guy at all. You like me, right?"
"………" Mo Xiaobao raised his head and stared at Pei Shaorong, who was dodging in panic. "Brother Pei, what are you talking about? I…I want to go home, let go…"
Mo Xiaobao panicked when his thoughts were pointed out. He struggled hard against Pei Shaorong's hand and turned to run out the door.
"Abao, wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet..."
They finally met, Pei Shaorong couldn't let him get away, so he quickly chased after him and grabbed Mo Xiaobao's hand again, saying anxiously, "Abao, I like you, I want to marry you..."
"..." Mo Xiaobao suddenly stopped and looked back at Pei Shaorong in disbelief, stuttering, "Pei, Brother Pei, what...what did you say?"
Did he hear it right? Brother Pei said that he liked him and wanted to marry him?
"Abao, I've thought it through. I want to marry you. The marriage your father found for you hasn't been decided yet, right? I've already talked to Aunt Qin about it. I'll go to your house tomorrow to propose marriage and give betrothal gifts. Look, I've already bought the betrothal gifts..."
Pei Shaorong smiled and quickly moved his backpack in front of Mo Xiaobao and motioned him to look at it. To be honest, he was still a little nervous at the moment.
He was nervous, and Mo Xiaobao was just as nervous, but he was more filled with disbelief.
"Brother Pei, are you really willing to marry me? You have to think it over carefully. I've been rejected twice by others. I don't have a good reputation. I'm still a little boy..."
Although he really wanted to marry Pei Shaorong, Mo Xiaobao was still worried. After all, his reputation was there. He had exposed himself in front of the whole village. No man would not mind.
He is a young man, and even if he can have a baby, his chances are not as high as those of a girl. He also has such a bad reputation, which is the main reason why he has never found anyone who wants him.
Hearing Mo Xiaobao's words and seeing his cautious and expectant look, Pei Shaorong smiled again and held his hand tightly.
"Abao, I don't mind what you said. As for me, I'm a loner from outside the country, and my family doesn't even have any land. It would be unfair for you to marry me. As long as you don't despise me, that's fine..."
"Tomorrow I will bring my things to your house to propose marriage. After we get married, I will wash your clothes, cook your meals, and listen to you in all matters at home, big or small. Are you willing to marry me?"
After saying that, Pei Shaorong continued to stare at Mo Xiaobao's expression nervously. Everyone disliked Mo Xiaobao, but he was still worried that Mo Xiaobao disliked him. After all, the impression he gave everyone now was that of a poor boy who couldn't even make ends meet.
When he saw Mo Xiaobao's expression gradually change from disbelief to joy, and even throw himself on him, Pei Shaorong finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt indescribably happy.
"Brother Pei, I... I don't dislike you. I am willing to marry you. Woohoo, listen to me in everything. You are the head of the family. I will wash your clothes and cook for you in the future. I will listen to you in everything, big or small!"
Mo Xiaobao hugged Pei Shaorong, his head resting tightly on his chest, his eyes were red, and his voice was nasal.
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had fallen on him. Her face immediately turned red. She quickly let go and stood up. She stared at Pei Shaorong shyly, feeling a little awkward. She cursed herself for what she had done. She threw herself into his arms before they were even married...
Seeing his appearance, Pei Shaorong felt even happier. He liked Abao's carefree, impetuous and noisy appearance.
Holding Mo Xiaobao's hand, Pei Shaorong felt a little hot and excited in his heart, and couldn't help but lean over to give Mo Xiaobao a gentle kiss on the lips.
The kiss was gone in an instant, but the soft warmth on the lips and the scent of another person made Mo Xiaobao even more shy and at a loss.
"Brother Pei, I...I'm going back first..."
Breaking away from Pei Shaorong's hand, Mo Xiaobao touched his lips and stared at him shyly, then turned around and ran towards the door again, his back looking like he was fleeing in desperation.
After opening the bolt, Mo Xiaobao took a step out, then stopped, turned back to look at Pei Shaorong shyly, and stammered.
"Brother Pei, you...you must come to my house tomorrow. I, I will wait for you at home..."
After saying that, Mo Xiaobao ran out quickly, his back showing a happy and joyful look.
Pei Shaorong stood at the door of his house, staring at his back, looking at the basket with the betrothal gifts behind him, and he couldn't wait for tomorrow to come...
