The meat market stall was rented for 80 copper coins  a month, paid quarterly, and he gave half the price according to the man’s wishes. Seeing this, the man smiled and took the money, cupped his hands and said, “I wish Brother Zhang a prosperous business in advance.”

    Zhang Fangyuan patted the man on the shoulder and said, “I’ll treat you to a drink next time.”

    “Okay.”

    After Zhang Fangyuan and the man walking around the meat market and choosing a stall, he went back with nothing else to do.

    The days passed quickly, and a few firecrackers could be heard from time to time in the village. During the New Year, the children in the village used their saved money to buy firecrackers in the city to have fun, and the New Year flavor became stronger and stronger.

    There was a light snowfall, and the houses in the village had already posted the blessing characters and couplets, and the ruined mud houses and thatched cottages also had a touch of festive red. Zhang Fangyuan was carrying a few pieces of wood freshly cut from the mountain, passing Dacun Road, he saw Xu Shaochun wearing a red coat from a long distance, like a bright flower, blooming in Jijiu Village, and also in the hearts of the men in Jijiu Village.

    Many young men wanted to go forward to chat, but Miss Xu’s bright eyes were only filled with Fei Scholar who came back from studying in the city for a holiday. The two seemed to come back from the city together. Theye were talking and laughing, the scholar was clear and handsome, the girl was delicate and beautiful, they were truly talented man and beautiful woman.

    Zhang Fangyuan didn’t watch anymore to join in the fun, and strode home. During the Chinese New Year, people in the village were also lively, but Zhang Fangyuan’s house was deserted, just like as usual, and there was no smell of thw new year.

    He was sitting under the eaves splitting his legs, peeling wood, and working overtime these days to do carpentry work. The homemade cart had already taken shape, and it was no worse than the cart sold in the workshop in the city if it was smoothed and varnished. After installing the wheels, he tried to pull it to the yard, and it was smooth and not stuck.

    Although self-made was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it could save a lot of money, Zhang Fangyuan was very happy, and felt shamelessly that he was really getting better at living.

    “Why are you still being silly by yourself?”

    Zhang Fangyuan put down the cart and watched his fourth uncle came over with a basket.

    “Your aunt cooked a pig’s ear, take it over and have a cup of wine.”

    “Okay.” Zhang Fangyuan pulled the cart back into the house, wiped the table. Zhang Shicheng sat down first and took a plate of pig ears, a few pieces of meat, and some peanuts from the basket.

 

    “It’s New Year’s Eve, and the house still needed to be tidied up by someone. The most important thing was to be lively.” Zhang Shicheng looked at the house. Although there were traces of tidying up, it was definitely not as good as his own family, with a wife. .

    Speaking of this, he also got to the point: “At first, the Guang family’s rotten mouths ruined your reputation in the village, and now someone was sent to the yamen. I heard that the Guang family has moved out. They know they wronged you, so they didn’t talk about the previous incident.”

    Zhang Fangyuan threw two peanuts into his mouth: “Yeah.”

    Everyone in the village greeted him when they saw him, and some people asked him to help slaughter pig a few days ago, he knew things were turning around.

    “What your aunt means is that during the Chinese New Year, every house is celebrating, and the matchmaker will come to propose a marriage, maybe it will work.”

    Zhang Fangyuan frowned upon hearing this.

    Zhang Shicheng stared at his expression, seeing him like this, settled his thoughts, before he opened his mouth, he said: “I have already told your aunt, there is no need to worry about this matter, you have already made plans.

    Zhang Fangyuan didn’t know why this happened. At first, the fourth uncle obviously asked him to find a marriage by himself, but now he said that he had plans, so he still said rationally: “Plans? Where the plans come from?”

    Zhang Shicheng tilted his head, hating iron for not becoming steel: “You talk to the youngest member of the Xu family, and your mouth is almost cracked to the bottom of your ears. I’m ashamed to see it, and you still say you have no plans?”

    Zhang Fangyuan heard what he said and then searched carefully when his fourth uncle found out when he was in contact with Xu He. He couldn’t figure it out, so he didn’t pursue it. He only asked incredulously: “Is it so obvious?”

“He should put a mirror on the waistband of his trousers, and next time he will take a good look at that worthless appearance.”

    Zhang Fangyuan rubbed the tip of his nose, a bit lost in the conversation.

    “I thought about it carefully. Although the youngest member of the Xu family is not smarter and better-looking than his sister, and has a cold temper, but he is hard-working. He must be able to manage the family well and live a good life.”

    “He’s not smart at all, but there aren’t many ge’ers as clever as him!” Zhang Fang listened to his fourth uncle saying that Xu He was not good, and opened his mouth to refute.

    “Aiya” Zhang Shicheng frowned and tsk tsk: “You kid is protecting him so tightly before you even flipped your horoscope, and even said you didn’t play against others. Listen to me first!”

    Zhang Fangyuan took a sip of his wine: “Tell me, fourth uncle, tell me.”

    “I think Mr. Xu’s character is very good…”

    “That’s natural!” He was the one who helped me speak earlier.

    “You brat, do you want me to tell you!”

    “Fourth uncle said, fourth uncle said!”

    Zhang Shicheng glared at Zhang Fangyuan: “He has a good character, and he grew up under my nose. With Xu Shaochun here, he may don’t look outstanding, but if you put him in another family, he will be the best little ge’er. The most important thing is that you, a big stupid man who has been confused with iron bumps since childhood, like him, since that’s the case, then make preparations early.”

    “

Xu Shaochun has passed Jiji for more than a year, no matter how fond the Xu family is, they won’t keep the girl forever, and when she gets married, the next one definitely the youngest Xu. The two of them are not too different in age, and they will be given away to others,  what a pity.”

    Zhang Fangyuan recalled, he remembered that Xu He married to another village before, and ran away before getting married, but he was arrested and returned. It was a bit noisy, and he still had some vague impressions.

    “

The wife of the Xu family favors his second sister, if I ask a matchmaker to go to Xu’s house to talk about marriage, won’t this go past his sister? will his partial parents feel happy? It’s easy to push back my marriage proposal. “

 

Zhang Shicheng replied: “You are thoughtful about things, your aunt also said that. That’s why I’m here to talk to you. “

    “

Don’t be sad, He ge’er, you like him, learn from those young people in the village, if they can see Xu Shaochun, they will deliver food today, pick up jewelry tomorrow, and go out to help with some works with a shy face. If you treat people well, they will know your thoughts. Those who come and go all this time have ideas, so is it not getting twice the result with half effort?”

    Zhang Fangyuan looked at Zhang Shicheng and couldn’t help laughing.

    He raised his head and got a slap on the forehead: “Just laughing, do you remember what I said?”

    Zhang Fangyuan nodded repeatedly: “I remember, listening to what fourth uncle said make my brain feel like it was lighted up.”

    “You brat!”
