Paradise

This afternoon, when the sun was warming, Liu Yun came to find Lin Yu to practice boxing together.

Recently, martial arts practice has become popular in the village. It can be said that men, women and children join the battle. Anyone who is interested can learn and practice.

Lin Yu and a few younger brothers in the village also learned boxing. Lin Yu heard from Zhou Ze that practicing boxing can strengthen the body, and he boxed with this purpose in mind, but Brother Liu Yun was very fond of boxing. Interested, he practiced boxing very vigorously. Speaking of which, he is the most handsome boxer among the younger brothers, even better than ordinary men. The better he is at boxing, the more interested he is. At home, his parents didn't like him practicing boxing and always scolded him. Brother Liu Yun had to find an excuse to come to Lin Yu to practice boxing.

The two of them stood in the yard, after a round of punching, they were panting slightly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on their heads, and their bodies were also hot.

"Come on, Brother Yun, follow me into the house, it's very cool outside." Lin Yu greeted.

"En, okay." Brother Liu Yun followed Lin Yu into the house, Zhou Ze and Lin Bao guarded at the handy shop, leaving space for them, and didn't intend to disturb them.

There is a charcoal basin in the house, and two sweet potatoes are buried in it, which have already been roasted. As soon as you enter the house, you can smell the tempting sweet aroma.Lin Yu pulled out the sweet potatoes and shared them with Brother Liu Yun.

The two sat around the edge of the charcoal basin, eating sweet potatoes and chatting.

"Brother Yun, your punching is getting better and better." Lin Yu boasted with a smile.

Brother Liu Yun who was praised was very happy: "It's okay, I just like boxing. As long as I learn it hard, there is nothing I can't learn. It's just that my parents don't like me boxing, saying that I don't look like a little brother. Now Boxing is popular in the village, if they can practice, we can still practice, and when we get to practice, let's see which kid dares to provoke us and knock him down with one fist, hahaha..."

While Liu Yun was talking, he raised one hand and turned it into a fist, and slammed it hard, raised his eyebrows, pretending to be fierce.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yu burst into laughter, "You are really amazing."

"Our little brother should be stronger." Brother Liu Yun straightened his chest, if he ignored the carbon dust on the corner of his mouth, he was really domineering.

"What do you see on your lips?" Lin Yu smiled and reached out to wipe the corner of Liu Yun's mouth.

Brother Liu Yun had already wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand first, then pointed at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth with a smile and said, "You still talk about me, look at the corner of your mouth too."

Lin Yu really wiped the corner of his mouth.

Brother Liu Yun burst into laughter upon seeing this, and blinked playfully, "I'm lying to you, there is nothing..."

The two little brothers talked and laughed, playing and making noise until it was getting dark, and Liu Yun didn't go home.

During this period, Zhou Ze came to the yard once, and when he heard the laughter in the house, the corners of his mouth also rose, and his beloved was happy, so he was also happy.

After simply eating dinner and soaking their feet in hot water, the family climbed onto the kang early and turned off the oil lamp. Zhou Ze embraced Lin Yu in his arms, and Lin Yu leaned on his chest and his strong arms as a pillow. The two of them snuggled together. Together, they could hear each other's breathing. Every time this happened, Lin Yu's heart would beat uncontrollably a few times.

"Ayu, did you enjoy playing with Brother Liu Yun today?" A deep voice sounded above his head.

Lin Yu nodded subconsciously, thinking that Zhou Ze should be invisible in the dark, and said, "En~"

Zhou Ze was tickled by the "en," so he obeyed his will, turned sideways, and hugged/kissed with Lin Yu...

November [-]th was a good day. The Lin family entrusted Chen Matchmaker, a well-known matchmaker from several nearby villages, to go to Yuan’s house to talk about matchmaking proposals. Liu Changwang’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, also accompanied them. They brought a pair of live chickens and a pair of live goose.

The Yuan family became trustworthy earlier, so it was no surprise. Mother Yuan took her daughter-in-law to entertain the two of them with a smile. Brother Yuan Dong shyly hid in the side room. say what.

The two sides said some polite words, and Matchmaker Chen asked the Yuan family for Brother Yuan Dong's birth date, and after not staying for too long, she said goodbye to the Wang family and left.

Seeing the two of them leaving, Mother Yuan stretched out her hand to pinch Father Yuan who had a bad face, and said with a smile: "This is a happy event for Brother Dong, quickly put away your stinky face and show it to someone Woolen cloth."

"Our Brother Dong is such a good boy, so cheap for that kid from the Lin family!" The father-in-law looked down on his son-in-law in every possible way.

"You can do it, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, it will make Dong Geer unhappy." Mother Yuan said.

While talking, Brother Yuandong walked into the room from the side room, his face was reddish, a little unnatural, he came to Mother Yuan and shouted: "Mother~" There was a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

Yuan's mother's heart softened, and she took Yuan Dong's hand and let him sit beside her, "The Lin family has come to propose marriage, so please be happy now, look at the chickens and geese in the kitchen, each fat It's very big, and it's not bad for other people to bring two chickens to propose marriage. The Lin family also brought two fat geese, which shows that they are also considerate. The matchmaker Chen just asked for your birthday and said it was for you. You pick a good day to get married."

"En." Brother Yuan Dong replied, his heart was full of joy.

Matchmaker Chen and Mrs. Wang went back to Lin's house and told what had happened. Lin Yu gave Matchmaker Chen a dime of happy money. Matchmaker Chen couldn't open her eyes from laughing. This time the happy money was really worth it Quite a few, "I won't stay any longer, I'll go back and pick a good day for you to get married, just wait."

Matchmaker Chen drank two cups of hot tea and ate two pieces of snacks. She didn't even think about leaving a meal, and left in a hurry. She knew that the day of engagement would be a good day for real meals.

Lin Yu wanted to stay with Mrs. Wang, who was helping with the management, for dinner, but Mrs. Wang politely refused, saying that she would eat it when she was engaged, and left with Matchmaker Chen. Lin Yu felt a little sorry for this.

For Liu Changwang's family, Lin Yu is very grateful. Since the death of the Lin family's parents, the Liu family has always taken care of Lin Yu's two brothers. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to live in the village relying on the two minor brothers. .

"Don't think too much, we will have a chance to reciprocate in the future." Zhou Ze comforted.

Matchmaker Chen took away the horoscopes of Lin Bao and Yuan Dong, and picked a good day for engagement, the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Compared with marriage proposal, engagement is much more formal. The man will bring the dowry to the woman's house, and the relatives of the two families will participate, and a few tables will be set up for a meal.

On the day of their engagement on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, both Zhou Ze and Lin Yu put on new clothes, and loaded the prepared dowry gifts into the mule cart. full.

On this day, Lin Bao was very happy. He got up early in the morning, put on new clothes, and stared at the bronze mirror for a long time. Finally, he took out the dowry money he had prepared early in the morning and carefully wrapped it in a red handkerchief. It was saved by himself, not too much, only about ten taels, but it was enough as a dowry, and he felt that it would be more considerate to use the money he earned as a dowry.

After tidying up, Lin Bao rarely came to Lin Yu with a touch of shame, "Brother, what do you think of me wearing this outfit?"

Lin Yu looked him up and down, stepped forward to help his younger brother tidy up his clothes, nodded, "Not bad, very good, he looks like an adult now, Xiaobao has grown up."

Lin Bao handed the dowry money he had prepared to Lin Yu, "Brother, this is the money I saved myself, and I want to use this as the dowry money."

And Lin Yu also took out a red cloth bag from his bosom, "I've already prepared a dowry for you, this is my brother's wish, you keep it for later use."

But Lin Bao shook his head, "I'm a man, I can't always rely on you, brother, this time I want to use my own."

Seeing this, Lin Yu looked at Zhou Ze at the side, wanting him to make up his mind, but Zhou Ze shook his head at him and said, "Xiaobao is right, a man should be responsible and take on the responsibility of supporting his family, Ayu , listen to Xiaobao."

After the agreement was made, the family and Liu Changwang and his wife went to Yuan's house with Matchmaker Chen. The guests of the two families sat together cheerfully, eating and drinking, and having a good talk.

Lin Bao took the opportunity of going to the bathroom to secretly meet with Brother Yuan Dong, and personally gave him a light blue hair tie in his arms. While Brother Yuan Dong was stunned for a moment, he quickly stepped forward One step later, he took a sip on Brother Yuan Dong's cheek, and said with a smile, "Brother Dong, wait until I marry you..."
