Chapter 303 Girls' Thoughts
Chapter 303 Girls' Thoughts
Shen Nanzhi soon met Mr. Xu and Xu Saifei. Just as she expected, Mr. Xu was very friendly and not at all arrogant. The two families really went in both directions.
The reason why Mr. Xu was in a hurry to come here to arrange the marriage this time was because the relatives of the Xu family were restless.
They didn't dare to come to make trouble, so they ruined Xu Saifei's reputation and made it impossible for her to get married.
Xu Saifei didn't mind. At most, she could set up a female household and set up her own household. It wouldn't let those heartless ungrateful people get anything for free. Over the years, her father had helped them a lot. Who hadn't borrowed money from his family?
They have become greedy and have big appetites. They even want to eat up the entire Xu family's property. Their faces are so disgusting.
Mr. Xu considered more things. If his daughter married far away, she would live a good life and would not have to get angry with relatives. She would live her own life. If he survived this illness, he would be able to live a few more years and arrange a good future for his daughter.
Shen Qingshan and Shen Bo'niang left a good impression on him. They looked kind, open-minded and good-tempered. Shen Desheng was also tall and honest, with Xu Saifei in his eyes, and was even shyer than a grown girl.
Mr. Xu was quite satisfied.
So everyone in the box praised each other's children. Xu Saifei felt embarrassed for once. Her reserve and dignity today were all pretended. She was not like this usually. She hoped that Aunt Shen would not be disappointed.
After dinner, Aunt Shen put a gold bracelet on Xu Saifei's hand. She refused at first but finally accepted it. This was because the other person was satisfied with her. The gift was so expensive that it would be bad not to accept it.
Aunt Shen's happy smile never stopped, "Miss Xu, Master Xu, it's troublesome for you to stay in the inn. If you don't mind, please come to our village. There are many empty houses in our village. If you live in a yard alone, no one will disturb you.
There is nothing fun to do this winter, with only ice and snow everywhere. But there is a kang so I won’t get cold, and there are pickled sauerkraut which is just right for me to eat.
The spicy cabbage that Nanzhi taught us to make is also delicious, as well as the roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes. They are not expensive, but they taste very good. "
Master Xu said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister. We will settle down first and visit you later."
"Then it's settled. I'm waiting to welcome you back. I'll let Desheng stay with you for the next few days. You can always order him around. Don't be polite."
Mr. Xu was modest: "I am so sorry."
"It's okay. It's the off-season now. We farmers have nothing to do in winter. We just stay at home and spend the winter there. If anyone wants to get married, they can do it. We won't be busy until the beginning of spring.
Let Desheng live in Nanzhi's house, it will be more convenient for him to take care of you."
They are old and young, and Aunt Shen is really worried. There is a bit more sympathy in her eyes. If the population is small, won’t the family members bully them?
Not every family has the good atmosphere like that of Yushu Village, where people do not bully the weak. Even the people in the neighboring Graphite Village are not good people. Widow Xu was bullied a lot in the past.
"Well, I won't be polite to the Shen family girl. I liked Desheng the moment I saw him. He is righteous and brave. You two elders are so lucky."
Shen Qingshan also smiled widely, with a hint of pride in his modesty: "It's just like that. I've been out with his cousin for half a year and have gained a lot of experience. Before, I couldn't get anything out of him even with three sticks."
Shen Desheng was not satisfied. Why did his father say this?
"Dad, drink some wine and talk less."
"you……"
Shen Qingshan was so angry that he wanted to beat his son, but he looked at Xu Saifei and endured it. For the sake of his daughter-in-law, he would not beat him.
After eating for more than an hour, the Xu father and daughter said goodbye. The Shen family saw them off to the door and asked Shen Desheng to take them back to the inn.
Aunt Shen rubbed her cheeks and said, "My cheeks are sore from laughing. Nan Zhi has good taste. Miss Xu is pretty good. She is tall and has a big butt. She has a good figure for giving birth to a boy."
Shen Nanzhi looked confused: "Where did you see this? Auntie, you don't like girls? Does that mean you don't like me?"
Shen Bo Niang understood what she meant and slapped her mouth: "That's not what I meant. I like both boys and girls. Her figure will not make it difficult for her to give birth. This is what Liu Wenpo from our village taught me. I even gave her ten kilograms of eggs."
"Ha, really? I think it's safer for girls to have children later, preferably after the age of 20. Eat well and drink well, nourish your qi and blood, and you will be less likely to have a difficult birth if you are healthy.
"Miss Xu's family runs a restaurant, and she has been well fed since she was young. She is tall and well-proportioned, so she is naturally good at giving birth."
Shen Bo Niang seemed to be thinking about something. "That's right. In the future, girls in our village will marry later. They should wait until they are 18 years old before getting married. They can eat well and drink well to keep their bodies healthy, so there will be fewer difficult births."
"Yes, a truly blessed family does not favor boys over girls. Girls are delicate and should be taken care of better. Instead, they mistreat girls and expect them to give birth to healthy children. Such a family will never be prosperous. They are too greedy."
"Well, Nan Zhi is right. This won't happen in our village anymore. Old Shen, look at the family that favors boys over girls. They won't have a share of the good things in the village in the future."
Shen Qingshan could only nod: "Our village is much better now. With Nan Zhi as a role model, girls can also be very successful. No one tortures girls anymore."
Shen Nanzhi would like to see a harmonious, prosperous and happy village. If the overall atmosphere is good, people's mental outlook will be different and they will feel comfortable living there.
Her life now is actually a disguised form of retirement.
"You guys go back first. I have two friends to meet. Let's discuss this with the Xu family and find a matchmaker to come and make the decision as soon as possible. The sooner this matter is settled, the more at ease we will be."
"Yes, ask the Xu family what they think. We should plan the wedding well and not let the young lady look shabby."
Shen Bo Niang calculated her family's assets. The house at home also needed to be renovated. I wonder how much a house in the city would cost? She would buy one in the county town in the future to make it easier for them to do business in the county town.
Shen Nanzhi sent them away and went to look for Zhu Xiaomei and the others. Jin Xuan'er's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
"Who made our Miss Jin drop her golden beans?"
Zhu Xiaomei sighed: "Isn't it because of the marriage? She doesn't like the one the Jin family chose for her, so she's upset."
Jin Xuan'er said: "You and Liao Baojia love each other, and I want to marry a piece of wood. I don't want to get married."
"Wood? Is he honest?"
Zhu Xiaomei was a little dissatisfied. What was she comparing herself with?
Liao Baojia had fought for it at the beginning. No one looked down on Liao Baojia because his family was poor and he had no family to help him, but she did not despise him and took the initiative to pursue Liao Baojia!
Now that Liao Baojia has made outstanding contributions in disaster relief, the county magistrate has praised him, and his business is also on track, everyone thinks he is a popular figure?
Shen Nanzhi's eyes flickered. Jin Xuan'er's temper was not good. How could she talk like that?
She just has high aspirations and wants to surpass Zhu Xiaomei, but she actually doesn't know what she wants.
