Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 309 3 years old

Pei Feiming and Candou left without looking back, leaving Huang Yuquan alone sobbing there. Maybe he was cursing?

But I really couldn't hear it clearly. Not long after, he covered his mouth and limped away in the other direction.

The child, Yundou and Gouwa only then came out from the darkness, not forgetting their original intention.

"Are we still going to beat your brother?"

"There's no need to rush."

"We'll talk about it some other time."

"I'm a little hungry. Are you hungry?"

"kind of."

"Let's go find something to eat."

"Where to find it?"

"Let's go see if there's any leftover food in the kitchen first. If not, we can go back. If Eunuch Chen and the others are still awake, we can still have some snacks."

After a lot of chatter, the three of them happily decided to let Dou Ge'er go and ran to the kitchen.

The cook on duty was in a bad mood and didn't know them, so they had to say a lot of nice things and even gave her some money before she happily brought out two plates of dumplings, both of which were cold.

But it doesn’t matter. Just get some stovetop clay pot and oil and fry the kidney beans. They will taste delicious.

They weren't too hungry, but they finished both plates of dumplings while talking and laughing.

He sat there rubbing his stomach and said, "I'm so full!"

The three of them felt sleepy and sat under the eaves, drowsy.

Gou Wa suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh no! I forgot to wish Master and the others a happy new year!"

It was already past midnight, but the place was still bustling with activity. The activity didn't stop for a moment, and people had forgotten the time.

"What should we do then?!" Yundou also became alert.

The child said, "How about we go tomorrow?"

"That's too insincere," Gou Wa was unhappy. He wasn't as careless as a child, who wanted to do everything perfectly. He got up quickly and said, "Maybe Master hasn't slept yet. I'll go now. Do you want to come with me?"

"Let's go!" Yundou stood up faster than the child and pulled her.

When the three of them returned, the young eunuchs were gone, and only Eunuch Chen and Lian Li were sitting and chatting.

When he saw them coming back, he smiled and asked, "Are the fireworks beautiful?"

It seems that he is not angry.

Gou Wa said with a silly look, "Beautiful! This is the first time I've seen such beautiful fireworks. I even forgot to wish my master and my uncle a happy new year."

As he spoke, he lifted up his robe, smiled happily and said auspicious words.

Yundou winked at the child and knelt down, saying thank you to Eunuch Chen for taking care of them and wishing Eunuch Chen a better life.

"I wish to get rid of the old and create new ideas, so that every day will be new with the New Year."

You can tell at a glance that he had memorized it long ago.

The child had a few words in mind, but she was too embarrassed to think of anything, so she knelt for a moment like a fool and said, "I wish you a long life, good health, and great wealth."

So plain and simple.

Eunuch Chen and Lian Li distributed red paper-wrapped money to them all equally.

This is such a pleasant surprise.

The child thought there would be no such thing, so he happily took it, and then they sent him to sleep.

Yundou came out and sighed, "Why don't you say something nicer? Maybe you'll get more money."

The child was not happy: "It's good to have it. Besides, I just remembered it. Why didn't you tell me before you recited the poem so that I could prepare it?"

"How could I have known you were so careless? I was planning to wait for you to take me there, but you didn't even think of it."

"You said it as if you just remembered it. If Gou Wa hadn't mentioned it, you would have even closed your eyes and were ready to fall asleep!"

They seemed to be fine just now, but in the blink of an eye they started arguing again, turning their heads away from each other. After a while, they saw the beautiful fireworks, Yundou spoke, the child looked up, and the two of them unknowingly came together again.

Well, they are one year older, but they don’t seem to have made any progress. They still ignore each other when they are angry. Maybe they will still be like this when they are in their eighties and their teeth have fallen out.

The child fantasized: "Do you think we will be together in the future?"

Kidney Bean asked, "Are you going to move somewhere else?"

The child shook his head, there was no need: "I will always be in Suicheng."

"Then we will definitely be together. We can build houses next to each other and become neighbors, or we can just marry into the same family. That way, we can always be together. We can still keep each other company and won't be bullied by our in-laws. When my mother finds a matchmaker for me, I'll ask her to keep an eye out for you. We can't just find a rich family, but at least one that's not poor..."

The child looked at Yundou who was talking and was surprised to realize that she was three years older than him and was already at the age to find a husband.

It's just that she grows slowly and is a little shorter, while the child grows fast and is a little taller, so they look similar.

This discovery made her suddenly sad, and she murmured, "Yundou, you are so old."

Yundou, who was just thinking about how happy it would be to marry into the same family as her:...Why should I?

Before she could start arguing, the child said, "Can't we just not get married?"

Yundou: "You're dreaming. Why don't you get married? Stay at home as an old maid for the rest of your life? If I really dare to do that, my mother will go crazy. When my sister-in-law comes home, she will ask that guy - who manages the money in your family?

He answered - my sister.

Sister-in-law - I wouldn't say anything even if she's your mother, but why is she your sister?

He replied—she insisted on intervening.

My sister-in-law said - I have to take care of it too, go and get it back for me.

He replied: "A harmonious family brings prosperity." Forget it.

Sister-in-law—Okay, then you can go with your sister.”

Yundou said this in a naive tone, clapped his hands, and said as if to say goodbye: "Well, I can't marry that big fool either, I have to be an old virgin.

Even if I say I don't care about money, who would be willing to marry their precious daughter to a family with an older sister-in-law if they love their daughter?

People have to think that this mother-in-law is the biological mother of my son-in-law and the mother of my younger sister-in-law. She is a piece of flesh and blood. What does my daughter have to do with her if she goes there? If there is a quarrel, she will definitely take the side of her own child. Then my daughter will become a poor little girl, right?

I'm sure he ignored it after the matchmaker said that."

Child: "Not really. Can't those families with many brothers also get married?"

"How can they be the same? They are all strong laborers. The more brothers we have, the more prosperous our family will be. If everyone is capable, our family will definitely have a good life, especially our daughters.

As the saying goes, girls are extroverts.

No matter how good it is, it belongs to someone else."

As Yundou said this, the corners of his mouth curled up, with a look of disapproval on his face. After a while, he said,

"It's impossible for me not to marry, but perhaps you can. After all, you are the one who makes the decisions in your family. However, you know, if you don't get married when you reach the age, you will have to pay an extra head tax. The government can't pay for it for you. You are not a child born in the family, but an indentured slave. To save trouble, they may simply not use you. What will you do?"

The child replied: "Cold salad."

"what?"

"Oh, I don't know either." The child was a little worried.

When she was very young, she heard people talking about how to get married, or what would happen if you didn't do something well and then got married. It seemed like everything about a girl had to be related to getting married. At that time, she didn't like to hear it.

As I grew older, I found the sound even more jarring. At the same time, there was a sense of powerlessness, as if I were fighting against a huge tree that blocked out the sun. It was slowly falling down, very slowly, and the roots were pulling and dragging it, trying to make it stand up and put everyone under the shadow again. The child was neither the one who pushed down the tree nor the one who held the tree. She was standing in a place where she could be crushed to death at any time, and she was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

Then go to sleep.

Yundou smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry. You're only thirteen and in debt. Even if you wanted to get married, no one would dare to marry you."

It was a very sad thing.

But for some reason, the child was happy because of this sentence, and said: "You should get married later, so that we can marry together and keep each other company."

"Okay," Yundou agreed readily, holding up a finger and saying, "I'll just... wait for you for another two years. That's quite nice of you, isn't it?"

If the kidney beans waited another two years, they would soon become old kidney beans. The child still felt that it was far from enough, but she still cooperated and said, "You are my good sister!"
