Xu Zhang and Xu Jiaojiao looked at each other.

Everyone seemed to understand something.

Just before a matchmaker blocked the road and came to propose marriage to him, later he proposed a swallow...

There is a culture of not having sex between men and women.

Xu Jiaojiao blinked at Mrs. Xu Zhang, "Mom, I think what Erlang said makes sense. This seems to be someone who needs to be responsible! A man must be responsible. This girl Yanzi seems to be pretty good, but I don't know that her family has made a reservation for her.

Did you kiss me?"

Mrs. Xu Zhang replayed the image of Lin Yanzi in her mind. She found it much more satisfying than the delicious and lazy Wang family girl.

"Okay, I'll send a matchmaker to ask tomorrow..."

When Erlang heard this, he looked overjoyed and raised the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, grandma, thank you, aunt."

When Xu Jiaojiao saw this expression, she knew she was not running away.

Erlang fell in love with this wild girl.

Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing depends on the situation first. If the marriage is not announced, it should be possible.

That girl Yanzi, at first glance, seemed to be okay.

It still needs to be understood more deeply and elaborated further.

***

After going home, Mrs. Xu Zhang put the piglet into the pig pen and fed it. She felt relieved when she saw that the piglet was as lively and active as in Lao Lin's house. There was nothing strange about it.

I went into the house and carried two bags of things, and went to the house of a reliable matchmaker in Xujia Village to inquire about the Yanzi of the Lin family.

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao entered her yard, she saw Liao Qing planting some blue flowers in the open space at the four corners of her yard.

The leaves are like swords and the flowers are like halberds.

It looks very sharp and noble.

It's also very stunning and beautiful.

"Eh? What kind of flower is this?" Xu Jiaojiao asked in surprise.

Liao Qing turned around and said, "I dug a kind of orchid on the cliff. It's very beautiful. I want to dig it back and raise it in our yard to see if it can survive."

Xu Jiaojiao automatically ignored, "our yard"?

It's too early to say this, why is it ours?

What's hers is hers, what's his is still hers!

There is no word "we".

"nice."

Liao Qing said, "Orchids can soothe the liver and relieve stagnation, reconcile qi and blood, and treat dizziness, stringy eyes, and neurasthenia. Plant a few orchids in the yard. It will refresh you if you look at them often."

Xu Jiaojiao smiled sweetly, "I know. I also like orchids. I don't seem to have seen this kind of orchid before. I just want to see if it can survive."

Several orchids were planted, and the whole yard was filled with a faint fragrance.

As the wind passes by, it seems to be there or not.

After Liao Qing finished planting flowers, he was not seen busy.

Every day, Liao Qing had many things to do. He had to help the Liao family with work, go hunting in the mountains, and manage the winery. From time to time, he also did some hard work for Mr. Du and Xu's family.

Even though I see Xu Jiaojiao every day, I don't necessarily get to speak more than a few words.

First, in the countryside, if you talk less before getting married, you can avoid suspicion.

Second, there are indeed many things going on. When two people pass each other, they only make eye contact at most.

Xu Jiaojiao blinked her bright eyes, "What's wrong?"

Then Liao Qing looked around, but there was no one there.

He took out a little rabbit carved from wood from his arms and said, "You don't have any special needs for your birthday gift. I carved it myself. Since you are a rabbit, I carved a rabbit."

Xu Jiaojiao was pleasantly surprised. She took it and took a closer look, "Wow, it's so exquisite, it's almost lifelike."

I saw that the rabbit's belly seemed to be hollow, and there seemed to be a yellow paper roll inside.

Liao Qing said, "This is the Blessing of Peace. I prayed for you in the Empress Temple. It was blessed and stuffed here. If you wear a rabbit, you should also wear a Blessing of Peace."

Xu Jiaojiao understood his good intentions.

It's really hard for him to be so thoughtful.

Indescribable sweetness and touching feeling in my heart.

"I will wear it every day from now on. I will hang it on a rope and make it a waist pendant."

Liao Qing was happy to see that she really liked her, and the corners of his mouth raised.

There was nothing better than keeping her safe. He knew that her origins were unknown and she almost fainted at the Empress Temple, so he had been worried about her physical condition. Sending her a blessing of safety was better than sending gold and silver.

"You girl, you are just a wooden rabbit. Your first carving was not very good. I will carve a better one for you next time when I have time."

"Thank you, boss. You are so versatile. I just accepted it."

Xu Jiaojiao took advantage of him not paying attention, kissed him quickly on the face, giggled, and ran away.

Liao Qing was so excited that she reached out to catch her... she wanted to kiss her daughter-in-law again.

I heard Mrs. Xu Zhang's loud and happy voice outside, "Hey, old girl, I went to ask the matchmaker, and she said that the girl from the Lin family has not announced the marriage yet. The Lin family is asking her to help arrange the marriage...

This is just a coincidence... all the happy events are coming soon, today I caught the little piggy, you have another birthday today, and it just so happens that Erlang, the red luan star is moving..."

Liao Qing retracted his hand silently.

In the evening, Lao Xu's family celebrated many things together and had a lively and sumptuous dinner together.

Mrs. Xu Zhang personally cooked and made egg longevity noodles for Xu Jiaojiao.

It was such a solid bowl that Xu Jiaojiao had to finish it before he stopped.

Liao Qing looked happy from the sidelines.

The next day, Zhun Xin'er came from the matchmaker and said that the Lin family agreed.

This happened so smoothly.

Mrs. Xu Zhang quickly asked the matchmaker Zhang Luo to send a betrothal gift and determine the horoscopes. Lin Yanzi was only fifteen years old and underage. The marriage was arranged first and the marriage would be arranged next year.

Xu Laoer didn't object to this matter. It happened after Xu Zhang and Xu Jiaojiao had passed each other, so naturally it was not much different.

Although Yuan Chunhua couldn't get involved, she couldn't care less about this matter even if she wanted to, but she was still keeping an eye on it secretly. She heard that the Lin family was in good condition and had a good family tradition, so the children born from this family should be reassuring.

She secretly asked Erlang and found out that Erlang was satisfied with the child, and she felt relieved.

The two sisters, Er Ya and San Ya, also asked about Lin Yanzi from the sisters in the same village and neighboring villages. They all said that Lin Yanzi was good. The two sisters secretly paid a visit, and then came back with smiles on their faces.

It's very hot in summer, but fortunately I live in a big house with good ventilation and cool air.

In previous years, it was difficult to sleep well at this time of year. Basically, very few people could sleep in the house, so they slept outside in the yard. There were many mosquitoes in the yard outside, and everyone was covered in mosquito poisonous packets.

In the countryside, local methods are used to repel mosquitoes, using smoke.

When Mrs. Xu Zhang saw that Xu Jiaojiao had not been out for a few days at home, she invited her to go out and play.

"Come on, old girl, let's take Erya and Sanya to the pond, pick some wax candles, dry them in the sun, and use them to repel mosquitoes at night."

Xu Jiaojiao had seen that thing before, and she was seriously poisoned by it last year.
