Chapter 128: Marrying a wife, marrying an enemy?
"Ma Youcai, don't think that I can't beat you, so you can bully me all you want."
Ziyi and Yike pushed the door open and heard what Wang Feng said.
"Get lost! I don't even bother to bully you." Ma Youcai cursed, but suddenly he saw Ziyi and the other man. He stopped cursing and ran over.
"Brother, sister Yike, good morning!"
"What are you doing so early in the morning? Discussing?" Yi Ke asked curiously.
Wang Feng also ran over and complained: "Brother, Ma Youcai is a piece of shit. I just wanted to practice fighting with him, but he hit me wherever I was hurt."
"Go away. You are disturbing my sweet sleep so early in the morning. And you still want to say that? If I don't hit you, who else should I hit?"
"Sister Yike, please help me say something. I just have good news to share with him, and I want to learn from him. I haven't practiced for a long time, so I'm afraid my hands are not so good. I'm doing this for his own good. Humph! He is just a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know how to appreciate a good person.
Yi Ke: “…
Ma Youcai was so angry that he punched Wang Feng again and cursed: "You are new to this, why are you meddling in other people's business? It's just that you have a girlfriend. If you want to show off in front of me, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."
Ziyi grabbed Ma Youcai and asked Wang Feng happily: "Is he serious? Do you have a partner?"
Wang Feng laughed awkwardly, "It was introduced by an aunt in the village. We have met each other, and even matched our horoscopes, and are planning to get engaged. I just wanted Ma Youcai to give me some advice, this guy has a lot of clever ideas."
"That's a good thing! If you have money, give your brother some advice. This seems to be what you are best at." Ziyi walked into the main room and sat down and said. Ma Youcai said with a smile: "Brother, let him give me a good beating. Oh, no, let's have a serious fight. Don't dodge. I promise to teach him a trick to please children."
"That's something you guys need to discuss. But I say, Wang Feng, you should follow Ma Youcai's wishes and have a serious fight. Compared to getting a wife, it's not a loss to have a fight." Ziyi laughed.
Wang Feng said dejectedly: "Okay, go ahead and hit me, but I have a rule first, no hitting in the face."
"No need to slap me in the face. You can keep this pretty face to seduce your wife." Ma Youcai said with a smile and jumped to the patio. Wang Feng followed him out.
"Let's go have breakfast and let them play." Ziyi took Yike to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there were buns and fried dough sticks in a big iron pot. I guess they were bought by Wang Feng. In another aluminum pot was steaming porridge. She opened the lid and scooped up the rice with a spoon. It was almost rotten, so she added some more firewood into the stove.
"Brother Ziyi, the porridge isn't ready yet, why don't you wait a while!"
"Okay. Are you hungry? If you're hungry, eat the buns first."
"Okay, let's all eat."
"Eat, come, here you go."
"Is Ma Youcai better at martial arts than Wang Feng?"
"I taught them both. Ma Youcai is fast, while Wang Feng is steady. If they fight seriously, they are equally matched."
"Wang Feng seemed miserable just now."
"Hey, that's because he's stupid. If he wants to compete with Ma Youcai in speed, it would be strange if he doesn't suffer miserably."
Ziyi's cheerful tone doesn't sound like that of an elder brother at all.
Speak of the devil, and here he comes. Yike and Ziyi were sitting in the kitchen cooking porridge and talking about Ma Youcai and Wang Feng when the two of them came in, looking dusty and dusty.
"Go, go wash yourself first and come back." Ziyi urged him.
The two had no choice but to retreat again. A faint voice could be heard: "See? This is what it means to forget friends for the sake of beauty. With a girl by your side, brothers and all that stand aside. Big brother wasn't like this before. After a fight, he would still eat first. Filling his stomach was the most important thing, and everything else would go to the back."
"You better keep your voice down. If Big Brother hears you, you'll be the one to be punished."
The porridge in the aluminum pot was cooked. Ziyi filled a bowl for Yike, and also filled a bowl for himself, Ma Youcai, and Wang Feng to keep cold.
"Wow, sister Yike, you are the best. You know we are hungry, so you give me cold porridge." Ma Zhicai cleaned up and came in, picked up the porridge and started to drink it.
"Hehe, sorry, this porridge was prepared by Brother Ziyi."
"Wow, big brother, you are different now that you have a wife. You have become so loving. Wang Feng, you should learn from big brother. I guarantee you will get a wife.
"Hmph! You are a bad friend. You served as my sparring partner for nothing. Look at the bad moves you just showed me. If I follow the method you just taught me, I won't even get a single hair off my wife.
"What did he teach you just now?" Yi Ke asked curiously.
"He taught me to strike first and then have the advantage... Ugh! Ugh!" Wang Feng's mouth was blocked by a steamed bun and he couldn't speak. He could only glare at Ma Youcai.
Ma Youcai glared at Wang Feng with a look that said, "If you dare to say that, I'll punish you."
Wang Feng took the steamed bun out of his mouth, took a bite, swallowed it and was about to say more, but Ma Youcai said, "If you tell me, I promise I won't beat you to death." He was so scared that he took a few bites of the steamed bun and dared not say anything more.
"Don't use the method he taught you. That's not marrying a wife, that's marrying an enemy. If you show your sincerity and the other party is still not satisfied, it only means that you are not destined to be together. Don't force it." Ziyi teaches his younger brother seriously, and he is very happy to see his younger brother get married. “Ask the woman what she wants. If you don’t have it, you can tell her and we can discuss and solve it together.
"I have a bicycle, but I'm missing a sewing machine. I don't have a sewing machine ticket, does anyone have any money?" Wang Feng asked.
"Yes, do you want to exchange it for a fight?" Ma Youcai took the opportunity to knock on the bamboo pole.
"Come on, stop it!" Ziyi glared at Ma Youcai.
"You wish. I won't do that. Look at my face. There's no healthy part. It's all bruised."
"Stingy. Here, you are. You are lucky. I just happened to find one last night."
"Thanks buddy, I'll buy you a drink at the wedding!"
"Drink! Don't you dare try not to buy me a drink?"
"Let's get down to business. How many seeds did you get, Wang Feng?" Ziyi asked.
"Not a lot, just about 200 kilograms, 85 kilograms of wheat seeds and 110 kilograms of cereal seeds."
"Youcai, what about you?
"One hundred and thirty kilograms of grain seeds, eighty kilograms of soybean seeds, three hundred and twenty kilograms of mung bean seeds, and twenty kilograms of broad beans. I don't know whether to plant them or not, but I bought them all."
"Broad beans are good, the more the better. Oh, how could I forget such a delicious thing. Fried broad beans are crispy and delicious. You can also mix them with garlic, chili oil, vinegar and other ingredients and seasonings and eat them with cooked broad beans. It is sticky, tender, fresh and refreshing. It is also delicious when stir-fried. I want to eat it just thinking about it." Yi Ke said happily.
“That’s good. Fortunately I didn’t refuse it. How about cooking some for lunch?” Foodie Ma Youcai said immediately.
"Tell the other brothers to ask if they can buy broad beans. If they can, buy them." Ziyi instructed, and then said to Yike, "You can cook some to satisfy your craving, and save the rest for seeds. You can eat a lot of them later."
"Okay, brother, what did you harvest last night?" Wang Feng asked.
"It's not that difficult to use canned meat to lead the way. Three hundred kilograms of wheat, eight hundred kilograms of grain seeds, and some other seeds. We have some of them."
"Big brother is still the best. When big brother takes action, everything goes smoothly."
"If you can't describe it, don't write it."
"hehe!"
"I wonder what Liu Bing and his team gained?"
"We'll know when we meet tomorrow." "Brother, I won't go into the mountain this time. The engagement is in five days. So I'll wait until the wedding is finalized before going in."
"Have you visited the woman? What's her personality like? Is she hardworking? Don't marry someone who is lazy and good at doing nothing."
"I've visited them. They're across a river from our village. They're hardworking, but too thin. I don't know if they can have children!"
"Being thin is fine. As long as you're not sick, you'll gain weight if you eat better. How many people are there?"
"There are a lot of people, nine in total. Her grandfather is still alive. I heard that her mother is the head of the family, and her father doesn't care about things. She has three older brothers, all of whom are married, and two younger sisters, the youngest of whom is already in her teens. She is helping the family raise her younger sisters, so she is still unmarried at the age of 18. Her family lives an average life, but they are not very poor."
"Then why did her family fall for you? Tell me, is it because you are rich and are showing off?" Ma Youcai pretended to have a heavy tone and said, "Don't get cheated of your money and sex by mistake."
"No, I still have some sense. The girl didn't ask me how much dowry I should give, and told me to give it as I wish. She also said that she liked my simple family with no elderly people, and that her daughter would not be bullied by her mother-in-law if she married into the family."
"It seems that the other family still loves their daughter and does not favor boys over girls. Such a family is good. Don't be stingy with the bride price, or the girl will think you don't value it." Ziyi warned seriously.
"That's what I think. I'm going to give a fifty-yuan betrothal gift, three turns and one ring, and I'll replace the ring with a watch. What do you think, brother?"
"Is fifty yuan too much? Although you are rich, everyone else gives a few or ten yuan as a betrothal gift. If you give so much, what if other families ask for a betrothal gift similar to yours? Do you think those who want to marry a wife but have no money will scold you?"
"Well, then it's twenty yuan, no less, otherwise the girl won't see my sincerity.
"Isn't that girl beautiful?"
"Yeah! Big eyes, big braids, and long legs."
"I was wondering why a stingy person like you could become so generous. It turns out you've fallen in love with her." Ma Youcai teased.
"She is the most beautiful girl in her village. Matchmakers are almost knocking on the door of her house. She didn't agree to anyone else, but she chose me. I definitely can't let others look down on me."
"Then she really has no taste to fall for you."
"Hmph! You know nothing. The cow that my sister gave me helped me earn a lot of work points in the production team. I also renovated the house. After she marries in, she can be the head of the family and won't be bullied by her mother-in-law. How am I worse? Her mother doesn't agree with other families because she is afraid that her daughter will be bullied if she goes to other families. She said my family is good. She used to think I was unreasonable, but now seeing that I am down-to-earth and look like I can live a normal life, she naturally agreed. Stop talking nonsense! Otherwise, I will turn against you." Wang Feng was provoked by Ma Youcai and blurted out all his thoughts.
What a fool!
"Sister Yike, you are a girl, do you know what girls like? I want to give you a gift, but I don't know what to give?" Wang Feng looked at Yike expectantly, and Yike was shocked.
Because I really don't know what girls of this era like, but since the other person has long braids, it should be okay to buy her a hairband or hairpin or something like that.
So Yike brought up this idea, and Wang Feng thought it was feasible, so he hurried out to buy hair ties and hairpins.
The silly boy bought both, thinking that the girl would like one of them. The fact is that the girl likes both of them. Although her family is not very poor, they don't have the money to buy such things for girls. So the girl was extremely happy after receiving the gift, and her previous 50% satisfaction with Wang Feng turned into 100% satisfaction. Wang Feng was very grateful to Yi Ke afterwards. I never expected that an unintentional act would have such a good effect, but that’s a story for later.
