Chapter 10

Coming out of Zhangjia, it's already sunset. There's a touch of gorgeous flowers in the sky. It looks very beautiful.

Both of them are dyed into a layer of gauze, red, which sets off Zhang Man'er's white skin, even more red as rouge.

Staring at by Xue Chuan from time to time, Zhang Man'er's heart was shaken. He accidentally tripped over a stone and thought he wanted to have close contact with the ground. The next second, he fell into a broad arms.

The cheek hit his chest. It hurt.

Is this man's chest made of stone?

"Be careful." When Xue Chuan spoke, he had a smile in his eyes, and his deep eyes were bright.

Her hard touch and soft chest made him stiff. After letting her go, Xue Chuan straightened out his clothes and covered up his embarrassment: "let's go."

"Oh." Zhang Man'er's voice is like a mosquito.

For dinner, Xue Chuan was there, and her mother-in-law Tian didn't say anything. After dinner, the family went their separate ways.

Zhang Man'er washed his face and went back to the house to lie on the Kang. Thinking about what Miao said to her today, his face was very hot.

At this meeting, Xue Chuan got on the Kang and looked at her blushing. Thinking that she had a fever, he quickly raised his hand to touch her forehead and said, "Man'er, what's the matter with you? It's so hot."

She asks like this, is to let Zhang man son embarrassment, simply shut eyes to pretend to sleep.

As soon as Xue Chuan touched her skin, she felt even more hot. She thought that she jumped into the river that day, but she didn't take any medicine at the back. Would she fall into the water again.

Thinking about this, I was in a hurry to pick her up from the Kang and rush out.

When they were about to go out, Zhang Man'er was so excited that he grasped the threshold with both hands and said anxiously, "what are you doing, Xue Chuan?"

"Your forehead is very hot and your body is very hot. I'll take you to see Doctor Li."

"I'm fine." Zhang Man'er whispered.

Xue Chuan also insisted: "it must have fallen into the river that day, but it's not so neat. At that time, I caught the medicine and didn't give it to you. Otherwise, I'll go and make it to you now."

The man's concern warmed her heart.

Being watched by his eyes, Zhang Man'er said, "I'm ok. I'm just a little hot. I'm so sleepy. I want to have a rest."

Say to also get up, so for a while Kung Fu, the red cloud of her face fades, the hand touches her forehead again, warm one, no longer scalding.

Xue Chuan seems to understand something, she is nervous, afraid that he wants her, it seems not to accept him.

He took her back to the Kang and put her in his arms. His eyes were clear: "don't worry, I won't touch you without your consent."

“……”

Before Zhang Man'er could react, Xue Chuan gave her a kiss on her soft lips and said, "go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow and go to the Yamen. Recently there is a case in the yamen, which is very difficult. I'll give you time. When I come back, shall we stay in Yuanfang?"

Xue Chuan didn't want to force her too much and was willing to give her time to adjust.

There is still his smell on his lips. This simple Dragonfly makes Zhang Man'er's heart ripple. This man's heart is as delicate as dust.

Zhang Man'er was very moved, and they had a good night.

The next day, breakfast

Her father-in-law's and mother-in-law's eyes are different when they look at Zhang Man'er. There was a disturbance in the room last night, and everyone knew it.

He thought that they had achieved good things. Seeing Xue Chuan's dinner, he was very calm. After breakfast, he went to the Yamen.

These two days, Tian's mother-in-law is always reading at home.

Today, she poured out the few hundred coppers she had in her family and counted them several times. "Old man, all our belongings are just a few hundred words. There are so many people in this family who have to eat with their mouths open. What can we do?"

Old man Xue knocked the dry tobacco bag on his hand and said, "what are you afraid of? At the end of the month, Xue Chuan will get his monthly salary. That one or two silver is not enough for our expenses?"

Most of the sons of the Xue family depend on Xue Chuan. Xue Chuan works in Yamen every day and occasionally goes hunting in the mountains to supplement his family.

A family, usually in farming, life is also passable.

"You forget, now that the third is married, it's time for the fourth. The fourth is sixteen and it's time to marry his daughter-in-law. Yesterday a matchmaker told Xue yang to marry him. The girl's family conditions are good. If our son agrees, we can marry him back."

As soon as old man Xue heard this, his brow was wrinkled to kill the fly: "as soon as the third daughter-in-law just passed by, you just want to marry the fourth daughter-in-law. What's your hurry?"

"It's time for Lao 46 to marry a daughter-in-law, isn't there a suitable girl? Their married women will give rich dowries. Where can I find such a good thing? "

"If you dare, you'll miss someone else's dowry. The third has just married a daughter-in-law, and the fourth has a slow time." Mr. Xue said.

As soon as Xue Yang entered the room, he heard his parents arguing about his marriage: "father, mother, I don't want to marry my daughter-in-law for the moment, so don't worry about me."

"Oh, my silly son, my mother will find a girl for you. It's much better than your third sister-in-law. There's only one daughter in the family, and the dowry is very rich."

Tian knew that his family was in financial difficulties, so he married two daughters-in-law all at once, and could not afford the gift money.

Isn't she thinking about a rich dowry?

As soon as the dowry arrived, all the money owed before was paid off, and the fourth was still a daughter-in-law. What a good thing. If you miss this village, there will be no shop.

Although she is the housekeeper of her family, it's all decided by old man Xue to marry his daughter-in-law. Tian couldn't bear such a good dowry to live in her family, so he lobbied hard.

"Niang, I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law now. Besides, when someone marries a daughter, why don't they give her a bride price and give her a rich dowry Xue Yang has no good airway.

What did his mother do for him? It's really nice to exchange his lifetime happiness for other people's dowry.

Better than third sister-in-law?

Old man Xue knocked on the table: "Xue Yang is right, old lady, you are obsessed with money."

Tian Shi did not give up staring at the two father and son: "you know what, now there are good girls you do not marry, when you want to marry also have no money."

"No money, no marriage." Xue Yang dropped this sentence and went to the front yard like the wind to do his little wooden work.

"This dead child really pissed me off." Tian stamped his foot and exclaimed.

Old man Xue smokes and doesn't talk.

"I'm not worried."

"OK, you are right. If you don't marry me, I will marry my daughter-in-law in the future. If you have no money, don't howl." Tian Shi resents a way.

In the yard

Xue Yang took a tool to polish the surface of a piece of wood and began to make a comb.

He would order some small wooden work. When he was free, he would do some wooden work at home. He would make some wooden combs and hairpins to sell them in the market.

Zhang Man'er sprinkled a handful of bran rice and fed the old hens. Then he watched Xue Yang busy.

This uncle's hand is very skillful. He can make some small wooden hairpins, combs, and several women's Wooden hairpins. They are all made by Xue Yang.
