I made a sumptuous dinner in the evening to celebrate the good things that happened recently.
The next day, Erlaizi came early again, wearing newly bought clothes, his hair was washed clean and groomed, and he looked like a handsome young man.
Holding a small brown-spotted snake in his hand, the snake's mouth was tied with a rope. Jiang Tuantuan took the snake tremblingly, walked into the house, and put it into the space.
After quickly finishing breakfast, Jiang Tuantuan moved a small stool and began to talk about love.
Although Jiang Tuantuan has always been a single person and has no practical experience, it does not prevent her from having rich theoretical experience.
Jiang Tuantuan said seriously, "When pursuing a girl, the most important thing is to win her heart. You have to treat her well and protect her. You have to remember what she likes to eat, what she doesn't like to eat, what she likes to do, and what she hates. Do you understand?"
Er Laizi was a little confused when he heard this. He scratched his head and looked at the ceiling. "I understand. I'll go ask her what she likes and dislikes, and then give her the bracelet."
"Stop, stop, stop. Come back quickly. You ran over so abruptly. Don't let her hit you back. You can pick a bouquet of flowers for her every day. Girls all like flowers."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
He did what he said. Er Laizi went to the nearby mountains to pick some wild flowers, tied them up with the thinnest branches on the trees, and ran to Zhang Dahu's stall. Only Dafang was there.
Er Laizi hid the flowers behind him and walked forward shyly, "Um... Dafang, I..."
Dafang: "Buy meat?"
The second beggar shook his head.
Dafang: "Looking for my dad?"
Erlaizi shook his head vigorously, quickly handed the flowers to Dafang, and ran away.
Dafang looked at Erlaizi's figure, then looked at the flowers in her hand. She felt puzzled and had a strange feeling in her heart.
Erlaizi went to deliver flowers for several days in a row. His daily routine was to catch small animals and pick flowers for Jiang Tuantuan.
Dazhu saw this and jokingly said, "Second Laizi has finally come to his senses. Which girl has he taken a fancy to?"
"I like Dafang."
Dazhu: "Oh, Dahu has only one child, Dafang. He said he wants to find a son-in-law for Dafang and give the child Dafang's surname."
Er Laizi said indifferently: "It's okay, my last name is Zhang too."
Dazhu then remembered that Erlaizi's surname was indeed Zhang, and his name was Zhang Er. Everyone had called him Erlaizi for years, so much so that they almost forgot his real name.
Day after day, on the tenth day, Zhang Dahu found out about this. He took a butcher knife and chased Erlaizi.
He ran from one end of the village to the other, and now everyone knew that Er Laizi had fallen in love with the girl from Zhang Dahu's family.
Zhang Dahu chased after him, shouting, "You little bastard, you're so bold that you dare to seduce my daughter."
Er Laizi ran to Jiang Tuan Tuan, almost bursting into tears, "Boss Tuan, I feel like I've been heartbroken, what should I do?"
Jiang Tuantuan took the cricket from Erlaizi and comforted him, "You have to keep going and don't give up. This is a test from Brother Dahu. A blessing in disguise!"
"I understood the first part, but what does the second part mean?" Erlaizi asked with a sad face.
"Oh, you'll understand later."
Erlaizi, who was inspired by the chicken blood, did not give up. One day, when Zhang Dahu and the villagers went to the county town to buy food, he secretly ran over again.
When Dafang saw him, she wanted to drive him away, but she was inexplicably reluctant to let him go. Erlaizi took out a bracelet he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Dafang, this is what I bought for you when I went to the county town some time ago. Come on and try it on."
Dafang was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to answer it.
Er Laizi thought Dafang was unwilling and said anxiously, "Dafang, I...I will treat you well from now on and understand what you like and dislike. I will also work hard to make money. I will listen to you from now on. If you say east, I will definitely not go west."
Dafang's face immediately turned red, her heart pounding. "I'll listen to my father on this matter. If he agrees, I'll get married, but I won't accept the bracelet for now." Then she turned around and went back to the house.
Erlaizi felt that he saw hope, and all he had to do was get Brother Dahu's consent.
I went home to get the house deeds and land deeds, sat under the big pomegranate tree at the entrance of the village, and waited for Brother Dahu to come back.
He waited until dark. When Er Laizi saw Brother Dahu, he rushed over and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Brother Dahu, I really like Dafang. The group leader said that if you like someone, you should treat her well. Here are my house deeds and land deeds. I give them to Dafang. I will treat Dafang well for the rest of my life."
After saying that, Er Laizi didn't dare to look up, fearing that he would be beaten by Zhang Dahu. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dahu said in a very gentle voice: "Hurry up, kid, I will think about it carefully."
After saying that, he reached out and helped the second beggar up.
When Zhang Dahu got home, he saw a blush on his daughter's face. He knew that girls should be kept as they grow up, and he fell in love with her.
"Dafang, do you like that little bastard Erlaizi?"
Dafang's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and twisted her fingers, saying, "I'll listen to Dad."
When Zhang Dahu saw his daughter's reaction, he knew that she must like him.
I don't know what I like about that little bastard.
It really proves the saying, "When a turtle and a mung bean fall in love, they are no worse than others."
When Erlaizi heard the news, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. In the middle of the night, he kept thinking about climbing over the wall to see Dafang.
Their wedding was also scheduled for the twelfth month before the New Year.
Because Erlaizi's parents were both gone, he wanted Jiang Tuantuan to take their place, but Jiang Tuantuan flatly refused, "You're shortening my life!"
"Go find the village chief and let him take your place."
When the village chief learned about this, he readily agreed to the matter and advised Erlaizi, "Your brother Dahu may appear cold but he has a kind heart. Even though he may be mean to you sometimes, he actually has your best interests at heart. You can't be lazy after you get married. You must be diligent so that our family can get better and better."
Thanks to Erlaizi finding different animals every day during this period, his points have increased a lot. In addition, he has been selling chickens in the trading mall, so his points have reached 300,000.
One third away from one million.
A month passed quickly and winter was about to come. Jiang Tuantuan was eight months pregnant and could give birth at any time.
The thatched hut is no longer habitable because it is too cold and does not provide any protection against wind or cold.
It's time to move.
Looking at the chickens in the fence in front of him, with nowhere to move, Jiang Tuantuan asked Erlaizi, "Would you like to stay here and help me look after the chickens for a while? I'll pay you, fifty cents a day, how about that?"
Erlaizi agreed very readily. He couldn't farm now and had to prepare the betrothal gifts for marriage. He was so happy that he could make money.
This month it’s 1,500 wen.
The biggest worry was solved, and while the weather was still good, Jiang Tuantuan and his family packed up and moved to their new home.
