Chapter 108 Long-cherished
Therefore, the Zhao family was not only busy with handicrafts, but also busy preparing for Li Dali to get married.
Zhao made it clear that although Li Dali was getting married for the second time, Li Lanxiang was getting married for the first time, so all the etiquette and rules could not be omitted, and they had to let the girl see their family's sincerity.
Although country folks are not as particular as the nobles in the city, and do not have such elaborate three books and six ceremonies, they will also invite a matchmaker to propose marriage, match horoscopes, negotiate a wedding date, and go through the engagement ceremony... and then prepare to get married.
After inviting a matchmaker to propose marriage, Zhao spent several days preparing for Li Dali to formally propose marriage, which is called "Nacai".
From then on, Li Lanxiang could no longer go to Zhao's house to do work, and even the crocheted things were sent to her by her mother.
There is no way. The two families live in the same village. If they don’t avoid each other, it will break the rules.
When Li Lanxiang turned 20, she felt for the first time that her life had a purpose.
Although her parents have always said that they will support her until she is old, her older and younger brothers have also been taught to treat themselves well in the future.
But Li Lanxiang always felt that she was an outsider, a burden to her family, and even a disgrace.
Her elder brother had already married and had children, and her little nephew's occasional childish words would deeply hurt her.
When will my aunt get married? Why isn't she getting married... and so on.
She finally has someone to rely on and finally has her own home. How great!
Zhao Dafu had already brought people to Xiangxue Village to apologize to Li Shoucai's family, and promised that if the old man Sun and his wife dared to come to the village to cause trouble again, they would be expelled from Fangfei Village.
Li Shoucai was in a very happy mood and he sent the person away with a smile.
His precious daughter is about to get married, what does he have to worry about!
Having finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish, Li Shoucai was even more motivated.
That day he called Zhou Xiaoxi home again.
"Xiaoxi girl, please tell me about the fruit workshop. The county magistrate said that as long as we give him a good plan, he will give us money to build the road! Oh, I wish I could make a plan and give it to him today!"
Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing. Magistrate Zou was at most thirty years old, how could he be an old man!
"Grandpa, you have to stay calm. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
Li Shoucai couldn't help rubbing his hands back and forth on his legs, and said with emotion:
"Hey, girl, I am indeed a little anxious! Our village is going to do such a big thing, I am nervous, afraid that I can't do it well!"
Zhou Xiaoxi felt sad when she heard this. It reminded her of the revolutionary martyrs in her previous life who sacrificed their lives so that their descendants could live a good life.
The predecessors planted trees so that future generations can enjoy the shade!
Suppressing the tears in her eyes, Zhou Xiaoxi said in a brisk tone:
"Don't worry, I will do my best. We can make preserved apricots from Shuying Village. The almonds in the kernels are medicinal herbs. Mr. Yang will definitely be willing to buy them."
"As for the peaches from Fangfei Village, we can make them into candied peaches and store them in the cellar until winter. When we sell them then, they will surely be very popular and the price will definitely be very high!"
Li Shoucai only understood half of what he heard.
"Girl, I understand the preserved fruit, but how do you make the peaches in syrup? And how do you make them not spoil?"
Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't find anyone to use as an excuse, so he had to speak shamelessly.
"Well, that's what I thought. Since the preserved fruit can be kept for a long time without going bad, the flesh might also last a long time if it is kept in sugar water. Besides, it is kept in the cellar."
Li Shoucai shook his head and laughed.
"Child, you are still too naive. Sugar is not salt, how can it prevent spoilage?"
Zhou Xiaoxi asked back:
"But grandpa, honey is also sugar, how can it be kept for a long time without going bad? Speaking of this, I remembered something else. We can also raise bees and make honey. Don't forget that our village is full of flowers in spring."
Li Shoucai was unable to answer Zhou Xiaoxi's question for a moment. Yes, then why doesn't honey go bad?
Speaking of honey, there are actually beekeepers in their village.
"But Xiaoxi, there is a problem! If all the distinguished guests come to our village to enjoy the scenery in spring, won't there be a risk of being stung by bees? We will be in big trouble then!"
Zhou Xiaoxi thought for a moment and replied:
"You make sense. What if we set aside a place specifically for beekeeping? For example, at the foot of the mountain, we can then find someone to write a warning sign to remind tourists. Or we can send someone to guard it."
Li Shoucai shook his head.
"Silly child, bees are not people, how can they obey people's orders? They will still fly around randomly when the time comes!"
Yes, Zhou Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed. How could she ignore such simple common sense!
Li Shoucai found it interesting. This was the first time he saw this girl act silly, haha...
"However, we can consider raising bees in the mountains in the future. We have many fruit trees on the mountain, and the branches that have been pressed this year will also grow roots next year. Then we can plant more on the mountain."
Wouldn't it be very inconvenient to go up the mountain in the future? It's really a rare way to have the best of both worlds!
Zhou Xiaoxi was a little worried, but Li Shoucai was very open-minded.
"Girl, how can you be considerate of everything? Right now, the most important thing for us is to make money. At worst, we can just dress more warmly and put on a scarf when we go up the mountain!"
Well, that's all we can do for now.
The two were discussing specific matters when Li Lanxiang suddenly walked in with two plates in her hands.
"Xiaoxi, try some of the snacks I made. I wonder if they suit your taste. And this hot tea smells delicious. Drink it while it's hot."
Li Shoucai was dissatisfied with his daughter's sudden interruption and waved his hand impatiently to drive her away.
Li Lanxiang rolled her eyes at her father.
"Okay, okay, I'll go now! Dad, you're such a fool. We've been talking for so long, Xiaoxi must be tired, and you didn't even bother to pour her some hot water to drink."
Zhou Xiaoxi felt as if he had experienced this scene before. When was it?
Ah! Could it be that this girl has already had a crush on her uncle?! It's very possible!
What did you say at that time?
'If you show kindness without any reason, there must be a conspiracy'...
It turns out the picture is of a person, O(n_n)O haha~
……
After Zhou Xiaoxi returned home from talking to Li Shoucai, she felt something was wrong as soon as she entered the door.
When I heard the speaker's voice, I suddenly remembered, oh my god, she had completely forgotten about her father!
By the way, why did it take her father so long to come back?
As soon as I reached the door of the main hall, I heard Li's roar from inside:
"Zhou Jun, you really have forgotten the pain after the wound healed! How could I marry someone like you! I tell you, this family either has me or him, or it has him or me, you decide for yourself!"
what's the situation?
