MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 24
The Xu family couple sincerely wanted to thank Zhang Fangyuan, and asked Xu He to butcher a duck and roast dried bamboo shoots, take a piece of bacon to make a rather complicated pickled pork with preserved vegetables, and some wild vegetables to make soup and stir-fry. Xu Changren knew that Zhang Fangyuan was drinking, so even though he couldn't accompany him, he asked Liu Xianglan to bring a jar to entertain others.
Except for the New Year and the holidays, there were almost no such rich times at home. Xu He also cooked carefully, and before noon, the yard was filled with the smell of roast duck. All the folks passing by would stop and chatter: "Brother He, your family has relatives here today, and the cooking is so delicious. I'm so hungry? What kind of food did my sister cook?"
Xu He didn't answer the folks' words, and went into the house by himself with the firewood, but the folks cut it without asking.
At noon, when the food was served, Zhang Fangyuan really came over. As soon as the talent came to the yard, he could smell the fragrance, and he was very happy, as if he had already eaten at Shangyue's house.
The small square table for eating, large plates and small bowls, and a table of dishes are quite rich in ordinary days. Zhang Fangyuan glanced at Xu Changren in the room, the two exchanged a few words, Liu Xianglan warmly greeted Zhang Fangyuan to eat, Xu Shaochun was reluctant to go to the table, Liu Xianglan glared at him.
"Zhang Tuzi, thank you very much. I can't speak even if I'm clumsy, so I just cooked a meal as a thank you. If there is anything our Xu family can help with in the future, we will definitely help." Liu Xianglan said politely: "Shaochun, pour some wine for Butcher Zhang."
Zhang Fangyuan said: "Fellows from the village, Mrs. Xu, don't be too polite. Brother He has already thanked me."
He took Xu Shaochun's wine bowl, took a sip, and ate the vegetables without any formality. He had eaten Xu He's dishes once, and he had long been craving for this haunting taste for a long time.
The duck meat was deliciously roasted without any shame, and the dried bamboo shoots were crisp enough for him to drink a jar of wine. Although the food was good, but in order to be able to eat it every day in the future, he only tasted a few chopsticks before putting it down.
"If Mrs. Xu really wants to thank me, I really have a problem." Zhang Fangyuan spoke in a cadence, smiling like a ruffian in the city.
Liu Xianglan was taken aback for a moment, knowing that this person is not so easy to get along with, the person at this time is really different from the zeal and righteousness yesterday, I am afraid this is the true face.
She still brought food to Zhang Fangyuan with a smile: "I don't know what our Xu family helped to serve."
"Oh, I will be twenty in a few months, and I still have a bare pole. My uncle was so anxious that he whispered to me when he saw me." Zhang Fangyuan smiled even wider: "Ms. Help."
"This, this is serious." Liu Xianglan's complexion was not very good, Xu Shaochun was about to cry, and he wanted to turn around and run away immediately, deeply feeling that eating at the same table with Zhang Fangyuan would be like ruining his reputation.
Xu He also raised his eyebrows. He chewed his rice slowly, not knowing what Zhang Fangyuan wanted.
"I think the second girl is both talented and good looking..."
"But unfortunately, our Shaochun has already promised to the Fei family!"
Liu Xianglan hastily interrupted Zhang Fangyuan's words.
"Ah? When did it happen, why haven't you heard about it?"
Liu Xianglan sneered: "I didn't publicize it to the outside world. Fei Lang's college entrance examination will get engaged and get married when he comes back. You can ask the Fei family about this."
Zhang Fangyuan sighed pretentiously, and then looked at Xu He who was sitting across from him and was still eating: "Then Brother He will also settle for someone else, right?"
Xu He looked up at Zhang Fangyuan, pursed his lips, and kicked those two long legs lightly under the table.
Zhang Fangyuan was in pain but didn't make a sound, he was as stable as Mount Tai, and turned his head to look at Liu Xianglan.
Liu Xianglan was stunned: "Brother He...he is still young."
"Isn't Brother He only one year younger than the second girl? Isn't he already as young as Ji, is he still young?"
Liu Xianglan was silent and did not speak. Although she felt that it would be a good thing for someone to ask Xu He, her deep-rooted thinking still made her reluctant to associate with someone like Zhang Fangyuan.
Zhang Fangyuan also knows that things are not that easy. Although the villagers have changed their views on him, the things they have done over the years cannot be forgotten overnight. He is synonymous with the kind of gangsters in the village. To be more serious about being a son-in-law, of course, I still have to think about it. After all, in the same village, it doesn't seem like we are married far away and have nothing to do with each other.
He said slowly: "Uncle Xu has hurt his muscles and bones. Thinking about it for a while, it won't get better. It's inconvenient to go in and out of the city. If there is a son-in-law with a car at this time, wouldn't it be possible to go to the city whenever he wants?"
"Ah! In April, the government will come to urge you to pay taxes again..."
Liu Xianglan's expression froze, and this undoubtedly spoke to her heart.
"Miss Xu, what do you think?"
Liu Xianglan's mind immediately brightened up, thinking about her sister's praise of Zhang Fangyuan before, and now Zhang Fangyuan's request for Brother He, not Shaochun, seems to be okay.
"Our Xu family is also an open-minded family. If Butcher Zhang has the heart, it's easy to say. If brother Xu is still young, it means that my sister is not married yet."
If it weren't for the anxious desire to marry He Ge'er back home, Zhang Fangyuan would not have spent all the time and energy to come here today and say something like this: "My family is in a hurry, and I really need people to do business in the city." Help take care of the house. Besides, it is not necessary for the brothers and sisters in the front to get married in the future, there is no such hard rule in our village."
"I've checked the almanac. March 19th is a good day to get married." Zhang Fangyuan couldn't be bothered: "Tomorrow I'll send over the engagement things."
Liu Xianglan's jaw almost dropped in shock, was she too anxious? But after thinking about it, Zhang Fangyuan was not too young when he encountered the matter of the Guang family earlier, so it is normal to be anxious.
She didn't face Zhang Fangyuan's words directly, she pretended to ask Xu He who had been depressed all the time: "Brother He, what do you think?"
Facing Xu He, Zhang Fangyuan suddenly felt a little lack of confidence. He was afraid that Xu He would be unhappy if he was too tough, and he didn't want to wait for a while as he had agreed before.
It was when his father was injured, he admitted that he took advantage of it.
Xu He didn't know why Zhang Fangyuan suddenly changed his strategy. Thinking of the past, he was silent for a while, and said, "I will follow Mother's arrangement." It was a tacit consent.
Zhang Fangyuan's chest heaved and heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, his wife is so kind, she doesn't lose face to him at all! Tomorrow he will bring him some delicious food.
"It's a good thing for a boy to get married and a girl to get married. It's a good thing for everyone in the same village. But getting married is not a small matter, and the elders have to come to discuss it..."
Zhang Fangyuan knew what Liu Xianglan was thinking, and said: "My parents are long gone, and I am in charge of everything in the house. I can directly discuss with Mrs. Xu. I asked the matchmaker a long time ago, and I will marry He Geer." According to the wedding gift in the village, 3,200 wen will be sealed."
Liu Xianglan was speechless immediately. This is a very suitable gift money for a wedding in the village. If she betrothed He Geer to someone else, she might not have so much money.
Another point is that Xu Changren was injured, and the family was in urgent need of money. Zhang Fangyuan was so straightforward, she could get the gift money as soon as possible, and she immediately had a smile on her face, and added more wine to Zhang Fangyuan: "Our brother He Although my son is shy and talks less, she is also capable. I have a place to settle down earlier, and I, a mother, have settled my mind. It would be great to be married to your family."
Zhang Fangyuan didn't let himself laugh out loud, glanced at Xu He, and said loudly: "That's the deal!"
The originally depressing atmosphere of the family became a little more festive because of a marriage. Liu Xianglan was happy in her heart, and even her face towards Xu He improved a lot.
"Congratulations, little brother. I didn't expect to make a marriage agreement before my sister."
Xu He was a little dizzy. He had the same thought as Zhang Fangyuan. It would have to be the middle of the year before the matter could be settled. How could he have thought that he would settle the matter so quickly.
He will get married on the nineteenth of next month, but it's not an engagement!
But when I think about it carefully, although I am a little anxious, it is the result of getting married, and it is not worse to be earlier than later.
"It's just that my younger brother is going to be engaged now, so don't associate with the person who gave you the hair tie. If Butcher Zhang finds out about this kind of thing, it might be very scary to go crazy."
The family was in chaos yesterday, presumably her second sister hadn't had time to complain. Xu He knew that her second sister was annoyed at him, so he decided to make her even more angry: "He gave it to him."
Xu Shaochun stared at her beautiful eyes, and realized later: "It turns out that you two have hooked up a long time ago!"
Xu He didn't admit it or deny it, and cleared the table by himself.
When Xu Shaochun saw that Xu He was like this, it was obvious that she was right. She thought it was inconceivable that that exquisite and beautiful headband was bought by that fierce and big man Zhang Fangyuan. A man like Zhang Fangyuan would actually spend his time thinking about his little brother!
I thought that Zhang Fangyuan wanted Xu He because he couldn’t ask for it, and he only wanted the next best thing. The reason why he said that Xu He’s idea was just to give himself a step down, but he didn’t expect that the person was really after Xu He. Come, to be precise, it is right to use her as a cover.
Thinking about it carefully, it was really scary. At first, people in the village said that Zhang Fangyuan came to wander outside his house, and then they asked Brother He to deliver things and spread the word, saying that it was for her, but in fact he was heading towards Xu He. He thought it was Xu He who refused for him.
Thinking of this, she blushed with embarrassment, it was the first time that she was so self-sufficient and put other people's good things on her own head, but how could she know that someone like He Ge'er really liked someone.
I don't want it, but now I know it's Xu He's, but I feel sour in my heart: "Since you have found your home, sister is happy for you. But you have to be careful, that Zhang Fang was fooling around in the city before Fangyuan, He also went in and out of the flower house, presumably there are many ways to coax people, and he deceived you with a few words. In the future, when you come to his house, you must be obedient and learn to be more obedient. Many men change after they get married His complexion, Zhang Fangyuan is fierce, what will you do if he strikes at you."
Xu He has long been used to his second sister's caring words, but she actually said that to pick on people's shortcomings and make him afraid.
He also retorted: "Thank you, Second Sister, for your reminder. But Second Sister is also going to be engaged to the Fei family. Fei Tongsheng is talented in literature and has a bright future, but Fei Tongsheng is the only child of the Fei family, and his parents take good care of him. After my sister gets married, she will definitely take care of Fei Tongsheng's daily life, if my sister learns more about housekeeping at home, she will definitely be more popular with her family after she gets married."
Xu Shaochun was so angry by Xu He's words that he almost threw something. The boy usually doesn't have a fart, but when he was engaged, his tail was raised, and his speech was 800 times more annoying than usual. If he used to be a person with his tail between his legs, I don't know that he is still a formidable person. of.
"I don't need to bother my little brother to worry about it. I said that I am my parents' own daughter. My parents will definitely take care of me whether I am married or not, so I have to rely on myself!"
Xu He didn't answer her any more, but he could only show his airs with this matter, as if it was rare for him to be the little brother of the Xu family.
He turned around and went to the kitchen with the dishes in his arms, Xu Shaochun still felt very puzzled, closed the door and cried.
Liu Xianglan wanted to keep an eye on Xu He's marriage, looking forward to the dowry money, and had to take care of Xu Changren, so she didn't have time to coax Xu Shaochun, but let Xu Shaochun, who wanted her mother to support her, continue to cry in the room, no, no crying Not any more.
On the second day, Mrs. He and Zhang Fangyuan came over to present the engagement ceremony. Everyone didn't see each other when they looked up, and the link of seeing each other was saved directly. The distance between the few houses was not far away, and even Zhang Shicheng came over for a walk .
Zhang Fangyuan brought a gift, sealed half of the dowry money, and gave the other half when he was going to get married. He also brought Xu He some cakes and fruits from the city alone, and specially chose two dark-colored cloths suitable for the younger brother. The big and small bags are much more than what I brought to Guangjia before.
Although it was said that things were picked according to what Xu He could use, but there were only a lot of things outside, and Liu Xianglan had a bright face, and she didn't hide it anymore. The village soon knew that Xu He and Zhang Fangyuan were engaged matter.
For a while, people in the village sighed, and some said that the Xu family was quick to act, and they were able to tell Zhang Fangyuan what Brother He was like.
I also regret that I didn't go to Zhang's family to say goodbye earlier, and I lost a sweet pastry for nothing.
It is also said that the two of them are right, they are both bad-tempered weirdos, and it is also said that Xu He's appearance, talent and appearance cannot match Zhang Fangyuan, and it will be difficult to marry and take care of him in the future.
In short, the chattering in the village is lively, and they have to talk about this matter after dinner and tea.
