But in He Tiantian's mind, he was indeed still a teenager.
He Shitou scratched his head sheepishly and said awkwardly, "I just want to find a stable job and save money... save money..."
Why save money? Everyone looked at him, puzzled.
He Shitou chuckled foolishly twice, "Save money to get married and take good care of my parents."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Wanzi laughed so hard she covered her stomach. "Even my uncle is thinking about his wife."
"Uncle Stone, aren't you overthinking this?" Zhao Denglong also found it quite amusing.
Only Zhao Xiaolü defended Shi Tou, saying, "Brother Shi Tou isn't wrong either..."
Chen and He Chun, who were listening nearby, chuckled to themselves. Although they couldn't help it, they were still very pleased.
My son is all grown up and still so filial. All those years of raising him and all that hard work have been worthwhile.
He Tiantian looked at He Shitou and encouraged him very earnestly.
“Stone, your dream is even greater. If you take a fancy to any girl, just tell me, and your mother and sister will arrange a marriage for you.”
He Shitou quickly waved his hand, "No, not yet... I'm saving up money."
He has no money in his pocket and is still living at his sister's house.
He couldn't possibly let the girl marry him and suffer, could he?
Now that we've brought up this topic, Mr. Chen has a lot to say.
"Hey? I've seen a lot of girls from other villages coming to your Changfeng Village these past few days."
He Tiantian didn't react immediately and asked, "What are you here for?"
Chen gave him a knowing look, "Isn't it because this village has water and food that she wants to marry into it?"
Changfeng Village used to be so poor that there were so many bachelors in the village that you couldn't count them on two hands.
In the past, no family would want their daughter to marry into this family; it was simply wishful thinking.
But ever since other villages started coming to Changfeng Village to fetch water, the number of girls from other places has gradually increased.
The busiest people are the village elders, who are running around like crazy trying to find a match.
"Hey, Mother, where did you find out all this?" He Tiantian asked curiously.
Chen scoffed, "Do we even need to ask? You know Yan's mother, right?"
He Tiantian nodded. Isn't that Zhao Yanniang?
"That's what she said. She said that four or five couples in the village have gotten married in the past few days and are discussing getting married..."
Since it came from Aunt Yan, it's quite credible.
However, He Tiantian didn't even know who the bachelors in the village were, so she didn't care whose family was having an event.
Over the next two days, the whole family busied themselves packing for their trip to the city.
Beans, sweet potatoes, a wooden bucket for holding water, and some cooking pots, pans, and other utensils...
One oxcart certainly couldn't carry it all, so He Tiantian went to Zhao Yan's house and borrowed a horse-drawn carriage. She also had Zhao Wanzi take the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone she had bought last time to Zhao Yan.
Horse-drawn carts usually go to fetch water in the morning and are still empty in the afternoon.
In the past two days, the goods have been transported to the city in batches.
The shop was already very clean, and there was nothing that needed cleaning.
These past few days, He Tiantian has been pondering what name to choose.
