Chapter 1 0 A matchmaker

The author has something to say: ... Don't doubt, the girl who appeared at the beginning of this article is a pure man, the kind who has all the parts on her body【.

No sex, no children, a very ordinary Tanmei farming culture

As the name suggests, Le'an Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it is not rich, at least every household can have enough food and clothing.

The east end of the village is a piece of fertile soil. In comparison, the land near the mountains in the north of the village is much barren.It was a busy day for farming, no matter men, women, old or young, few people were still hanging out in the village, and most of them stayed in their own fields with hoes and baskets on their shoulders.Even those five or six-year-old ignorant children followed behind the adults, doing some work within their ability.

At the foot of the mountain in the north of the village, there are a lot of big elm trees scattered here and there. The smallest ones are as thick as two people hugging each other. They are suitable for enjoying the shade, but few people take a break here.However, under a tree, there was a girl with draped hair, who was pressing her breasts against the big tree. She poked her head out secretly to have a look. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she squatted down against the tree, quietly. Put your hand into your bosom.

Not long after, a piece of hard, rough steamed bun came out.

The steamed buns were yellowish-black in color and not delicate. It looked as if they had been stored for a long time, but a lot of crumbs fell on the ground after taking it out.Seeing the crumbs, the girl was heartbroken, and hurriedly stuffed the piece of steamed bun into her mouth, as if if she stuffed it too slowly, it would turn into crumbs in her palm.

Such choking caused the steamed bun to get stuck in the girl's throat, as if swallowing sand, which cut her throat with pain.The girl wanted to vomit, but quickly covered her mouth, for fear that she would really spit out the steamed bun.

After a long while, with a "gulp", the girl stroked her chest, showing a satisfied smile.

Suddenly there was a roar not far away: "Zhang Xiahe! Where are you hiding and being lazy!"

The girl hurriedly patted the crumbs on her hands, jumped out, and responded, "Hey, I'll go over right away! Mother, let it go, your waist is not ready yet!"

This family came here after fleeing from a severe drought in the south 15 years ago. A husband and wife with three children got shelter in a dilapidated small house in the village.There are only two rooms in this house, and the three little sisters in the family can only live together.Until the eldest daughter, Zhang Dongmei, married into a neighboring village, and the second daughter, Zhang Qiuyue, also married into the Li family, the landlord of this village. Li Mu was also the only son of the younger generation of the Li family.

Within three months of getting married, Qiuyue conceived a child smoothly.The mother of the Zhang family went to see her second daughter the day before she was due to give birth. The Li family treated people well. Seeing that Qiuyue had a child, she was not allowed to do any work. Stomach, and told his mother in detail about his expectations.

But she didn't think about it, that childbirth was to teach women to turn around behind closed doors of hell, Qiuyue was really unlucky, she couldn't make it through, and only left a big fat boy for Li's family.Mrs. Li loved her grandson very much, and felt sorry for him when he was born without a mother, so she gave her a nickname, Jin Bao, and raised her by her side.

Up to now, it has been three months since Qiuyue's dystocia passed, and the Zhang family can get out of their grief and concentrate on working in the field.

The Zhang family was originally one of the tenants of the Li family. When the Li family proposed to marry Qiuyue, as a show of sincerity, they set aside two acres of high-quality fertile land at the east end of the village for employment.Now Zhang Shiyi, the man of the Zhang family, is busy working there, but Liu Lanniang, the mother-in-law of the Zhang family, is reluctant to part with the poor land in the north of the village for many years. Get busy here.

Seeing Xia He jumping out from behind the tree like a monkey, Lan Niang quickly grabbed her little daughter, frowned, glanced at her daughter's breasts, and said worriedly: "But are you hungry again? Don't sneak around and eat all of them." Take it out tonight, mother will give you two new ones."

"Mom is the best!" Hearing that Dao could get two new ones, Xia He smiled brighter than that day, with crooked eyebrows.

Lan Niang glared at her little daughter, and said, "You are the only one who is greedy! Neither of your two sisters dares to be like you. If you continue to eat, Mother will not be able to support you anymore, and she will throw you out of the house!"

Zhang Xiahe knew that her mother only had a knife mouth, so how could she be willing to drive herself out of the house? Xia He was more worried about her mother's waist than the cruel words, so she quickly took the hoe from her mother without any effort He waved it up and down, which didn't seem to match that small body.

Lan Niang thumped her waist, and handed over the work in the field to her little daughter with confidence, saying: "Looking at the sun is also westward, mother will go home first, and cook for your father and you. You can go back by yourself in a while." , don't stay too late."

"Got it!" Zhang Xiahe said yes without looking back.

Liu Lanniang rushed home in a hurry, and before she could reach the door, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Zhang's! Congratulations!"

Liu Lanniang wondered, what kind of happy event is there at home?Turning his head, he saw that the person who came was the Song matchmaker in the village. Dongmei and Qiuyue's marriage was told by the Song matchmaker.

Lan Niang's heart skipped a beat.Perhaps it was because their Zhang family was from the south, and the three daughters in the family were all tender and well-known. They were all well-known beauties in these ten miles and eight villages, so Dongmei and Qiuyue could marry well.Now my youngest daughter, Xia He, has just turned 15, which is exactly the age to talk about marriage.When Song Matchmaker came, someone must have taken a fancy to her Xia He.

It would be a good thing if it were placed in someone else's house, but Xia He... Lan Niang was worried in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she smiled, went up to meet her, and asked, "Song family, what are you doing?" Why are you here?"

"The time flies so fast. When your family first came here, Dongmei didn't come here." Song Matchmaker compared her waist, and said, "Look now, your family Xiahe Fifteen is the age to talk about kissing."

"But to tell you the truth, after Dongmei and Qiuyue got married, our old couple was also very lonely, and we wanted to keep Xia He for two more years." Lan Niang rolled her eyes, and said, "You too Knowing that our family just had two acres of good land here, and after waiting for two years, the family situation has improved, and we still want to find a son-in-law for Xia He. —— Blame me too," she put on a sad look, "I'm sorry Their old Zhang family has only these three daughters, and they failed to leave the Zhang family." Immediately afterwards, Lan Niang saw Song Matchmaker frowning, and quickly laughed, "We will have to trouble the Song family at that time, who wouldn't I know, the people from all over the world count your matchmakers and they are right!"

Lan Niang clearly refused, and left a way out, coaxing Song Matchmaker, trying to teach her to quickly turn down the family who came to marry her.Unexpectedly, Matchmaker Song was frowning, and persuaded Lan Niang in a low voice: "It's your fault, Zhang's. You can't keep this daughter. Those good boys have already married at this age. When Xia He gets older, who can you tell me about her family? Just look at your Xia He's appearance, and look at her work, she is a good hand in the field, this delay, but..."

Song Matchmaker's words seemed to be for Xia He's consideration.But Lan Niang became more and more worried. What kind of family was the one who proposed to kiss her, and how much money did she promise Song Matchmaker for her to persuade herself like this?

Lan Niang smiled wryly and said: "Oh, the Song family has boasted too much. My family Xia He is not a bit like a girl, let alone embroidering patterns to make clothes, she can't even do sewing well, so she can't do it in the field. If you have strength, how can there be any good work."

"Hey, for those of us in the fields, this farm work is the most important thing." Song Matchmaker said, and finally saw that Lan Niang refused to let Xia He out, so she simply asked, "What's more Now, this Xia He is blessed with a life. The Zhang family, do you know who entrusted my old lady to propose marriage?"

"Which... is this?" Lan Niang asked puzzledly after thinking about the families in the village with young men of the same age.

"It was the old lady of the Li family who entrusted me to come here. It is said that Qiuyue of your family left at a young age." Speaking of this, Song Matchmaker made a sad gesture, "There is only a poor baby left without a mother. , I want to marry your family Xia He, I think Xia He is Xiao Jinbao's aunt after all, and I will definitely treat him well."

Song Matchmaker got excited and talked about how poor little Jinbao was, and how good the Li family was. Xia He must have lived a good life when she married.The Li family's clothes were all bought in the town, and they didn't need Xia He to make them, so I told Lan Niang not to worry.Speaking of excitement, Matchmaker Song danced with her hands and feet, as if she had immediately taught herself to enjoy the great blessing that day, but she didn't realize that Lan Niang frowned, not as happy as she imagined.

When Matchmaker Song realized something was wrong, she quickly shut up.It's strange, when they talked about marriage to Qiuyue back then, Zhang's family was obviously very happy, and said that Qiuyue's family was lucky, and they got two acres of good land for nothing, but this time, Lanniang is still frowning?

"From the Zhang family?" Song Matchmaker called out.

Lan Niang just came back to her senses, quickly apologized, and said: "Please let the Song family run away, I will go to Li's house and discuss it with my in-laws." After saying that, Lan Niang left in a hurry .

Only a Song matchmaker was left behind shouting: "Hey!——Hey?——" After shouting twice, seeing that Liu Lanniang didn't stop for a moment, walking farther and farther, Song matchmaker muttered: "This is against the rules! Zhang's family, wouldn't you hurry to Li's family to discuss whether we can expropriate two acres of land? Bah!"

The more Song Matchmaker thought about it, the more she felt that her guess might be true. She spat at Lan Niang's back, shook her hands and left.This marriage will not run away, I just wait for the money from the matchmaker!
