Chapter 128 Why are you in such a hurry to find a wife for Huai Ge'er?
The matter of buying a maid was thus settled.
Yu Sanbao acted quickly and used his connections to buy a reliable and honest maid, whom he named Shuanghe.
Mrs. Wei had also seen this before. Seeing the two people working in the store without touching the ground to help entertain customers, she nodded with satisfaction.
Yu Sanbao gave the indentures of Shuangyun and Shuanghe to Wei Pozi.
Mrs. Wei put it away and felt deeply moved.
At the beginning of the year, they were still worried about food, and even a piece of bread was a precious thing. Who would have thought that within less than a year, the family would actually employ maids, and more than one.
The days at home are like a lush plant growing in the wasteland, which grows better and better and gradually blooms flowers.
Of course, it wasn’t just the Yu family that felt that their lives were getting better and better. Other people in Nantuo Village could see it, too, and they were envious.
Many families began to think about marrying into the Yu family.
Yu Siyang, who is of the right age, has a mental problem, but the Yu family doesn't have much else but a lot of male descendants. Besides Yu Siyang, isn't Yu Yonghuai, who just turned fourteen, also quite suitable?
The boy is good-looking, strong, and is still studying in the county. His family is wealthy, so it seems like a perfect marriage.
As a result, many families came to his door and expressed their desire to marry Yu Yonghuai.
Li Chunhua was so proud and happy that she walked with a breeze!
Not to mention, there were actually a few families among them who, she thought, had extremely good conditions.
The girl is beautiful and her family is good. It would be a great pleasure to marry her as a daughter-in-law.
When Mrs. Wei saw that Li Chunhua was being flattered by the matchmaker, she looked on coldly without saying anything. She just picked a time to go to the county to ask Huai'er for his opinion.
In the evening, Li Chunhua sat on the kang and talked happily with Yu Daniu about the families who came to visit them today. This family was nice, and that family was also pretty good.
Yu Daniu suddenly asked, "Have you asked your mother?"
Li Chunhua moved her buttocks with a guilty conscience: "...Mother told me before that the daughter-in-law must be approved by me."
As a couple for many years, Yu Daniu understood what Li Chunhua meant. He sneered and said, "That's because mother is giving you face. You can't really think that Huai'er's marriage is decided by your word."
Li Chunhua felt more and more guilty. She turned her head away as the man looked at her: "I'll tell my mother tomorrow."
Yu Daniu said nothing, pulled the quilt over him, turned over and went to sleep.
On the second day, Li Chunhua found a time when no one was around and told Mrs. Wei about Huai'er's proposal of marriage in a somewhat awkward manner.
Li Chunhua was a little nervous: "...Mom, what do you think?"
Mrs. Wei glanced at her and asked, "Have you asked Brother Huai about this?"
Li Chunhua thought without hesitation: "My brother will eventually get married when he grows up. I thought I would let Huai brother screen and choose first, and then Huai brother will naturally choose the one he likes..."
Mrs. Wei interrupted Li Chunhua and said, "Brother Huai just turned fourteen a few days ago. Why are you in such a hurry to find him a wife?"
Li Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and stammered: "...Marry, marry a wife, let her take good care of Huai'er... and help with some housework..."
Mrs. Wei curled her lips and said, "Now there are maids in the shop who can take care of Huai'er. There are also maids at home, so you don't have to share any work. Besides, although Huai'er is over fourteen years old, he is not too old. He is currently studying in the county and is still learning. If you let him get married, wouldn't that distract him? Why do you want to find a wife for Huai'er so early?"
Li Chunhua was stunned by Mrs. Wei's question and couldn't answer at all.
Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "Alright. I'll tell you the truth. I asked Huai'er and he said he has no intention of getting married right now."
Li Chunhua became anxious again: "How can this be possible, mother, Huai'er must get married eventually..."
Mrs. Wei glanced at her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Huai'er is our eldest grandson, and he is a down-to-earth person. Our family is getting better and better right now. In the future, Huai'er's future may be elsewhere. By then, when Huai'er has a broader vision, he may have his own ideas about marrying a wife."
Li Chunhua thought so too.
Nowadays, when it comes to marrying a wife, you can’t choose one from these ten or so places.
But in the future, when the Yu family's conditions become better and Huai'er has his own abilities, maybe he will even be able to date girls from the provincial capital!
The daughter-in-law of the state capital!
Thinking of this, Li Chunhua's heart surged and she nodded heavily: "Mom is right, I was anxious."
The matter of Huai'er getting married was put aside.
The weather was getting colder, with frequent snowstorms, and it was not easy to travel from the county town. Mrs. Wei was thinking about buying a donkey cart for the family.
This way it is convenient to go to the county town on weekdays, and the grandchildren don’t have to endure the wind and rain when they want to go home. It is warm and convenient.
Yu Sanbao was quite willing to do so, but he suggested buying a carriage instead.
Firstly, the carriage can be made a little bigger, so that Huai Ge'er and his brothers, who have long arms and legs, don't have to worry about being crowded.
Furthermore, although horse-drawn carriages are more expensive, they are more powerful than donkey carts. If my family needs to go to a farther place, we don’t have to rent a car.
Mrs. Wei agreed with this.
On the day the carriage was bought, even the usually calm Yu Daniu couldn't help but ask Yu Sanbao to teach him how to drive. He drove the carriage from south to north in the village, and it was such a joy.
The villagers in Nantuo Village were so jealous that their eyes turned red!
Xingxing really liked the newly bought carriage at home. Bai Xiaofeng even specially sewed soft cushions on the seats in the carriage to make it comfortable to sit in. When Yu Sanbao drove to the county, Xingxing looked at him eagerly and asked him if he could give her a ride.
How could Yu Sanbao not respond?
Ju Ge'er also looked over eagerly: "Dad, I..."
Yu Sanbao refused ruthlessly: "Your mother said that you were pretending to be a general in the house with a stick yesterday, and you knocked over the oil lamp at home. Don't go anywhere these two days, just reflect on your mistakes at home!"
Orange boy: “…”
I almost burst into tears!
The whole family doted on Xingxing. When Xingxing went to ride in the carriage, Bai Xiaofeng took out a newly made blanket and asked her to cover herself with it. When Li Chunhua saw this, she also packed some food for Xingxing to eat on the way.
Xingxing deeply felt that this winter was a very happy time for her.
After arriving at the county town, Yu Sanbao went to work in Yu's shop.
There was a stove burning in the shop, and the heat was so warm that people felt comfortable. Xingxing was also not idle. Her brothers had not finished school yet, so she went to the shop to help entertain customers.
