Chapter 430： Hong Xiaoqiao gets engaged

Chapter 430 Hong Xiaoqiao’s engagement

Pan Xiuniang is really envious and really happy for Jiang Ning.

Yang Xiaoya quickly thanked her and asked curiously: "Aren't you going to get off the boat now?"

"No, no!" Pan Xiuniang looked cheerful, her face was much plumper than before, "Every household in the coastal fishing villages has begun to raise oysters, and there are not so many oyster shells for us to pick up. My mother's family has made a lot of money in recent years. "Young master, I bought a piece of sea land to raise with me. They thanked me for their help over the years and bought me a piece of land. I need to take care of it occasionally. I don't have to go there every day. When I have nothing to do, I will come over and talk to Mrs. Wan."

She and her natal family took advantage of the opportunity and cooperated with the Yang family early on. They made a lot of money. Not only did they buy a yard in Songxi Town, they also bought two small shops in the town. Now the shops are rented out and they earn money every month. With a rent of more than one tael, and the sea field where oysters are cultivated, she can earn more than a dozen taels a year. With just her and her daughter at home, they don't spend much money at all throughout the year, and they don't need to be so tired.

She worked hard in the first half of her life, but in the second half of her life she just wanted to take a good rest and live a leisurely life.

Yang Xiaoya was also happy for her, "Auntie is living a life like a fairy, it's great."

"It can't be compared, it can't be compared!" Pan Xiuniang said modestly, but she was smiling from ear to ear, her eyes flashing slightly, and she said: "I have something else to tell you, our Xiao Qiao is engaged, and the man is your sister-in-law's nephew. Jiang Nan.”

"Really! Congratulations! Is Xiao Qiao at home?" Yang Xiaoya looked happy. She didn't have many good friends, so she only had Yang Xiaohua, Zhong Mianmian, and Hong Xiaoqiao, whom she had been with for a while.

Now that she heard that her best friend was engaged, she naturally wanted to go over in person to congratulate her.

Pan Xiuniang stood up excitedly, "Let's go! I'll take you there."

Madam Wan also waved her hand, "Go, go!"

Yang Xiaoya came to Pan Xiu's house and found that there was a working woman in their house.

Pan Xiuniang explained: "She is a fisherman nearby. Hey! He is also a poor person. His son and daughter-in-law are gone, and there is only one little grandson left. He can't get off the boat with the child. It happens that our house is big, and only our mother and daughter live there. She wasn't very popular, so I hired her to help with housekeeping and housework.

On weekdays, I just look after the door, clean the house, and occasionally cook. If I am busy, I will go to my parents’ house to help. Of course, the wages are paid separately.

Her grandson is still young and lives with her in our house. He is also a hard-working person. "

Yang Xiaoya nodded, "Auntie is kind-hearted."

"Wherever there is! We can only do so much!" Pan Xiuniang was elated by the praise.

He led Yang Xiaoya to the backyard and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xiao Qiao, look who's here!"

Hong Xiaoqiao poked his head out, and immediately put down his sewing in surprise and ran out, "Xiaoya! Why are you back?"

Yang Xiaoya stepped forward and held her hands with hers, smiling and narrowing her eyes, "I'm going to the capital. When I come back, I heard that you are engaged!"

The two of them entered the house while talking.

Close the door.

Hong Xiaoqiao blushed, "My mother-in-law told you, right? Aunt Jiang came to our house to propose marriage. My mother-in-law was a little hesitant at first. After all, she is my daughter and she wants to find a son-in-law. Although Aunt Jiang has more than two children, she said A son, but Jiang Nan can make money. Aunt Jiang was not happy at first, but Jiang Nan always insisted. Later our two families discussed that if I gave birth to a son in the future, he would be named Hong, and if there were more sons, he would be named Jiang.

My mother-in-law also likes Jiang Nan and thinks he is reliable. Both parties took a step back and the marriage was completed. The wedding is scheduled for May next year. Unfortunately, you probably won't be able to come! "

Although the family's situation has improved over the years, she suffered too much hardship as a child and she is really afraid. Even if the family's conditions are better, she still has no time to relax and has to worry about everything. Their family's livelihood is also different from other families. , so she didn’t have a good friend to play with. She cherished her friendship with Yang Xiaoya very much.

Yang Xiaoya felt very sorry, but she was more happy for Hong Xiaoqiao. She put the jade bracelet on Hong Xiaoqiao's wrist, and then inserted the jade hairpin and gold hairpin on her head.

Hong Xiaoqiao was startled and refused repeatedly, "Xiaoya, I can't accept it!"

Yang Xiaoya pouted in feigning anger, "I never gave you anything before, at most I gave you snacks, but this time you get married, I will give you something decent.

It’s a pity that I came in a hurry this time. If I had received the news in advance, I would definitely give you a set of good noodles. This is the only thing I have now, so don’t dislike it. "

"I don't mind it, I don't mind it! The dowry my mother-in-law prepared for me is not even worth a gold hairpin of yours. These things are really too valuable!" Hong Xiaoqiao was very embarrassed, and she was afraid that Yang Xiaoya would be angry if she persisted.

Yang Xiaoya took the opportunity to help her put the things into the dowry, "Okay! You and Jiang Nan will live a good life in the future. If you have children in the future, you will provide for them to study and provide for them well. If someone becomes successful in the future, they may be able to take you out. Songxi Town, maybe we can meet again!”

These words made Hong Xiaoqiao's eyes turn red. She was reluctant to give up and responded solemnly.

The two talked for a while before Yang Xiaoya got up and left. She went to see Lady Wan again and told her her plan, "Sir, come with me to the capital!"

Lady Wan looked lovingly at Yang Xiaoya who was squatting next to her, her eyes full of tears, and she choked up a smile, "No! I finally came back from the capital safely in this life, so I just want to be safe and sound." Cansheng, I don’t want to bother anymore.

Actually, I knew from the day you became a disciple that you would fly out sooner or later, so I was reluctant to accept you, but your eyes were clear and firm, and you even swore an oath in front of me. There was nothing I could do to harden my heart and refuse.

Now that your family is prosperous, you can still remember me. I have nothing to regret. I am doing well as I am now. I live a life by myself with no worries about food and drink. I still have people to take care of me. I can often talk to my old neighbors nearby. , I’m still thinking that I can no longer do embroidery work, so I can raise a few more cats and dogs and live here. I can do whatever I want, don’t worry! "

“Sir.” Yang Xiaoya wanted to continue to persuade.

But Pan Xiuniang said from the side: "Xiaoya, Madam Wan is right, just listen to her!"

Yang Xiaoya received Pan Xiuniang's look. Although she didn't understand it, she could only respond first.

After reminiscing with Lady Wan, Yang Xiaoya left after seeing that she was a little sleepy.

Outside the courtyard, Pan Xiuniang couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned Lady Wan, "Although she is a wealthy and respectable person, she suffered too much in her early years and her health is really bad. She can't travel far away anymore in this way. She can stay here and cultivate herself peacefully." , maybe you can live a few more years, if you are really filial, don't let her bother you."

“Auntie.” Yang Xiaoya looked sad.

The nun next to her suggested: "Miss, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you are really worried, you can go to the doctor at the medical center and ask the doctor to come over in half a month to ask for a safe pulse on Lady Wan, and then talk to the town. If you know someone you know, please ask them to take care of you, and ask someone to send you some money every year, so that things can be done well."
