Chapter 29 Sincerity
On September 20th, matchmaker Qian came to the Xu family again. Chen still treated her as usual. Matchmaker Qian sat there and sighed constantly.
When Chen saw this, he knew that Huixin's marriage might not be completed. "Auntie, you should worry about it too. Forget it, this marriage has its own fixed number. If this family fails, there are other families." Although he felt a little sorry, it was hard to say anything else.
"Oh, sister-in-law, it's not that the marriage was not done. But the Tao family's mother is angry. I can't speak?" Qian said with a sigh. "Well, I don't hide it. That's the case. The Tao family's mother, when she heard that her son insisted on marrying your Huixin, said that she wanted your family to give you twenty taels of dowry. This money was not for Huixin to hold on, but for their family. Tell me, how could this be like this? We are a good daughter, and it's fine if we don't want their bride price after marrying, but even asked us to give you the dowry. I was angry, but I couldn't resist Dr. Tao's begging me hard, so I came to say to my sister-in-law. Look, this marriage is really, alas." Qian's mother kept sighing.
When Chen heard this, his temper also came to his senses, but she never cursed people and didn't know how to curse, "What's the matter? My Huixin, a pretty big girl, doesn't have to marry her family. Why did she get such a thing? Forget it, I think it's okay for this marriage, but before I could wait, I'll have to pay for the dowry. If I want to split up in the future, she will have to ask for money for milk? Her aunt, go back and tell Dr. Tao that we can't get to this marriage."
After hearing this, matchmaker Qian nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, what you said is right. It's done, I'll go back and tell Dr. Tao, let him die." As he said that, matchmaker Qian was about to go out.
Chen took out a red envelope to Qian Matchmaker, "Her aunt, you have been running back and forth a lot of things for Huixin these days. You can buy some tea for this. We Huixin's marriage, we have to ask her aunt." Qian Matchmaker is a good matchmaker, and he always tells people that the matchmaker is honest. The newcomers she introduced usually live a very beautiful life, so Chen still wants Qian Matchmaker to help find it again.
The matchmaker Qian refused and refused, "Sister-in-law, you are slapping me in the face. The marriage was not explained. Where did I get my face from receiving your red envelope? Wait, I will find a good one for Huixin, and I will take as much as you give me at that time." The two of them were here pushing me and giving me.
Just at this moment, there was a voice outside, "Doctor Tao, why are you here?" It was Xue's voice.
The two people in the room stopped, and Chen quickly left the door and saw Doctor Tao standing at the gate of his house. Chen sighed, "Doctor Tao, come in quickly, it's cold outside, come in and sit in the house for a while." The person was already standing at the gate, and he couldn't drive him out, right?
When Tao Qingnian heard this, he quickly entered the yard. Chen let him into the room and everyone went into the room to sit down. "Doctor Tao, are you here today?"
Tao Qingnian took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and put them on the kang, "Auntie, I know what my mother did wrong. This is the silver I saved in the past few years, a total of thirty taels. The aunt took it, except for the twenty taels my mother wanted, the rest would be added to Huixin. Auntie, I only requested to ask the aunt to marry Huixin to me." As he said that, Doctor Tao bowed to Chen.
Chen was a little stunned and looked at Tao Qingnian, "Child, this is what you have saved up with great effort. Is it worth it for Huixin? You and Huixin have only met a few times, and you just told her heart to her. What should you tell the aunt to say? Huixin is weak and becomes a kiss in the future. Do you still have to distract yourself and take care of her? Do you not regret it?" Chen really didn't know what to say. A man was willing to do this for his daughter, and even he, the one who was a mother, was quite touched, let alone Huixin knew what it would be like.
Tao Qingnian nodded, "Auntie, I know Huixin's faults. It's okay, but the foundation is a little weaker, so it's okay to take good care of Huixin. I am a doctor, and I will take good care of Huixin. As long as the aunt promises to marry Huixin to me, I swear to treat her well and never let her suffer." It seems that Tao Qingnian really fell in love with Huixin.
Huixin was in the west room. She had heard the conversation in the room for a long time. At this time, there were tears on her face. Huixin came to the east room and knelt down in front of Chen, "Mom, I am willing to marry him, beg her to help us." As she said that, she cried again.
Chen helped her daughter up, "You two, I don't know what kind of injustice it is. Forget it, I'll help you. Qingnian, take this money back, Huixin's dowry, I'll find a way to find a way. Let's put it aside and keep it for life in the future." Chen handed the money to Tao Qingnian.
Tao Qingnian doesn't want it, "Auntie, I'm giving Huixin this money. Just keep her to buy something. Just prepare it. I still have the ability to cure diseases in the future. I won't be hungry for Huixin. Don't worry, the aunt is willing to marry Huixin to me, so I'm very happy. I'll just earn money or something." Tao Qingnian looked at Huixin and felt so happy that she could finally marry her.
"Aunt her, I won't bother others anymore. Let's do this. Please tell me and the Tao family, and I agree. Let them do the same as normal marriage negotiations, and it won't work if they are missing." Chen looked at matchmaker Qian, and naturally he still had to find her.
The matchmaker Qian also made Tao Qingnian's sudden move confused, "Okay, since my sister-in-law has said that, what else can I refuse? I'll do it quickly."
Since the marriage has been agreed, matchmaker Qian and Tao Qingnian said goodbye and left. Chen sent them out and saw Huixin still wiping tears when she came back. "Okay, don't cry anymore. Since Dr. Tao is willing to send you all the money, I am sincere to you. My mother is not so tidy, so I just saved some of your dowry in the past few years. In a few days, your sister-in-law and I will go and see you more." Chen hugged his daughter, "Children, if you marry someone in the future, you should be better for Qingnian."
Huixin nodded with a red face, "Mom, I understand."
Xue also came in from outside now, and when she saw the mother and mother like this, she smiled, "Mom, Huixin, where are you singing? Huixin's marriage has been completed, we should be happy, isn't it just twenty taels of silver? We all get together, we can always get it. Huixin's ability to marry a good person is much more important than the twenty taels of silver. Huixin, sister-in-law supports you, even if she borrows money, she will have to do your marriage in a grand manner. I believe in sister-in-law."
After hearing Xue's words, Chen smiled, "You can't borrow money. Our family hasn't reached that point yet. Just now, the boy from the Tao family sent thirty taels. I don't want it, he has to stay. Let's do this, give the 20 taels to their Tao family, and we will give Huixin the rest. It seems that they should come to the process of discussing the marriage in the past few days, and we should also prepare well."
"Oh, don't worry, Huixin's dowry will not be too cold." Xue went out of the house with a smile.
Jinghan didn't know about this. She was picking up acorns. This year, she picked up a lot of acorns and piled up a warehouse in the warehouse. Jinghan went to pick acorns when she had nothing to do. She peeled off the smooth skin outside, revealing the white seed kernels inside. She put the peeled acorn kernels in a basket, waited to soak them in water for a few days, and then crushed them with a grind and cooked them before feeding them to the pig.
Jinghan was happy to peel these acorns. With these things mixed in, he should be able to catch two more pigs next year, right? The price of pork is very high now. A pound of pork costs more than twenty cents, and sometimes thirty cents. If you count this way, a pig can buy nearly five taels of silver. It seems that this is pretty good. Jinghan is full of white silver, thinking and laughing.
Just as Xue came over, she saw her daughter giggling, "Jinghan, why are you laughing here? Look at you like that." Xue said hilariously.
"Mom, I'm wondering if our family can catch two more pigs next year? Look at these acorns, they should be enough to feed them." Jinghan saw that it was her mother who came, so she pulled her mother's clothes and asked.
Xue looked at Jinghan and then looked at the acorns in the warehouse. Jinghan could really pull home. He was not idle in the autumn and stayed at home until it fell. With such a child, Xue was also happy. "Okay, listen to you. Let's catch two more pigs next year. Jinghan, this warehouse is cold, you can put some in the house and scatter it. Don't freeze you anymore." As he said that, he helped his daughter pack a large basket of acorns and put them in the kitchen.
Jinghan naturally followed his mother into the house, and then plucked acorns next to the big basket. The acorn peels were thrown directly into the stove pit. He loved this thing and could warm up the kang after burning it. Wenchang and Wenxuan went out to play for a while, and happened to see Jinghan picking acorns there, and the two boys came to help. After adding two more people, they naturally plucked them soon. After a while, they plucked out a basket.
When Xue saw this, she quickly found a bag to put the chopped acorns in it. She couldn't soak all the things in one go, so she had to keep them and feed them slowly. After they were packed, she gave the basket to Jinghan and the others, and the three young ones continued to peel them.
When Chen came out, he saw three little guys picking acorns there. She smiled and said, "Okay, wait to raise two more pigs next year. Let's keep one for the New Year and eat it." The children knew how to work at such a young age, so Chen was naturally happy.
When the children heard that they wanted to raise more pigs, they all became happy, "It's great, there will be meat to eat when the time comes."
