Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 1788 Matchmaker

  The shopkeeper Zheng always felt that Zhou Man looked at him as if he was looking at a wicked father, as if he would sell his son for glory, but is he such a person?

  The shopkeeper Zheng felt that his son must have said something in front of Zhou Man, so he blew his beard with anger.

Seeing that he was angry, Man Bao quickly calmed and said: "Big shopkeeper, although Zheng Gu has a soft temper, it is actually gentle. As a doctor, a gentle temper is the best. If you look for it with your heart, you will definitely find a good daughter-in-law. of."

  The shopkeeper Zheng felt even more angry.

At noon, Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao looked bitter when they came to visit their master. "My father doesn't know what's wrong today. It was fine in the morning. After the master left, he always saw me not pleasing to his eyes. I didn’t want to give gifts until after noon. I really couldn’t bear my father’s talking and came early.”

  Doctor Liu came over half an hour late. The two families were talking to each other. She was embarrassed to come home, but the delivery of food to Master during the Winter Solstice was also a rule.

  Man Bao happily accepted their gift. He wanted to leave them at home for lunch, but all three of them refused.

  Because there are quite a few people who came to Zhou’s house today to deliver food.

  Yin Or, Liu Huan, and even Feng Zongping personally brought some delicious food over, and directly occupied their yard to eat and drink.

   Feng Zongping said: "It's still your home, the adults don't care much, there are many children, and there is a big garden, so you can play whatever you want."

  Bai Shanze and Man Baodao: "I'm still thinking about sending food to Tang Xuexiong and Yang Xuexiong this afternoon, but it seems impossible at this time."

  Man Baodao: "It's okay, there is one day off tomorrow, we will send it tomorrow."

  The winter solstice is a festival for exchanging food.

  Everyone has worked for a year. At the winter solstice, almost all of the work for the year is finished, and then we are waiting for the New Year.

  So even poor families will take out something to make delicious food, and then share it with relatives and friends.

  Even the business trips outside are closed, and everyone can communicate and enjoy the food.

  It is rare for Bai Shan to have no schoolwork, and Man Bao also suspended her work. Even Teacher Mo’s class was suspended for a few days.

  Mr. Mo is not very understanding of their festival. The Winter Solstice seems to only exist in the history books for him, and this festival is not very much celebrated in his time.

  Because as long as they want, every day is a holiday; and as long as they are busy, it is a holiday like a working day.

  Man Bao and a few people ate happily for a day, and the next day they picked many delicious things at home, some special things in the baskets and food boxes, and then carried them to Master Tang and Master Yang to give gifts.

  Tang He and Yang Heshu also spent the past few days with their relatives and friends to eat and drink.

  Tang He received their gift first, and after thinking about it, he simply picked up a basket of steamed buns from the kitchen, and then took a few pieces of bacon from under the kitchen eaves and went to find Yang Heshu with them.

  So everyone spent another day at Yang Heshu's house. When they left, not only did they eat round stomachs, but they also received a lot of gifts from the Yang family.

  Lao Zhou tou looked at Li Jun taking things out of the basket and curiously turned a box, and then asked, "What is this?"

  Man Bao glanced at it and said, "Bird's nest."

  She said: "This thing is good, take it out and let the sister-in-law cook it, my mother's stomach is not very good, and I will eat a small bowl every day to improve my spleen and stomach. My sister-in-law also eats it to beautify her face."

  A few sisters-in-laws on the side couldn’t help but look forward when they heard it, and curiously said: "This is the bird's nest?"

  Xiao Qian looked around and asked, "How to cook bird's nest?"

  "Put the water and cook," Man Bao didn't understand it very well, "Or I will check it back and copy some recipes."

Zhou Lijun glanced at the aunts and aunts in the room, and felt that there were too many people in the family, and this little bird's nest was enough to eat, so he put the box together and said directly: "Keep it, isn't this bird's nest also medicine? I may not be able to use it in the future."

  Qian and Xiao Qian also think so, this thing is expensive, what are they doing if they are all right?

  A few days later, when Man Bao took a break again, Lao Zhoutou told Man Bao that he had a bad appetite, and he didn't want to eat, and wanted to eat something to improve his spleen and stomach.

  Man Bao understood in an instant, so he prescribed a recipe for bird’s nest porridge to her father and showed it to her sister-in-law.

  She squatted in the kitchen and whispered to her sister-in-law, "Cook it, cook two more bowls, and give it to parents and sister-in-law."

  Little Qian smiled and nodded her nose, and said happily, "It's really a clever ghost, just like Dad. You know how to beat Dad."

  Man Bao happily, said: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine in two days."

   Although Xiao Qian received the recipe, he did not cook three bowls, only two bowls. One bowl was given to Lao Zhoutou and the other was given to Qian.

  Lao Zhoutou said to Qian after eating it, “It’s no wonder people like this food so much, it’s really delicious.”

  Qian gave him a sideways glance and said, "You are how old you are, and you pretend to be sick just to take a bite."

  Lao Zhou cheeked and defended: "Who said I was pretending to be sick? I really have no appetite, but it's better now. Let the old guys make some lamb buns in the evening."

Qian ignored him, and instead mentioned the Liu family’s marriage. “Man Bao said, Liu’s side has agreed, and the two children have been getting along well these days. I mean, taking advantage of Man Bao’s two days off Mu, just ask the matchmaker to talk about it."

  Old Zhou said, “Yes, it’s the twelfth lunar month now. It’s set before the New Year. You can choose a date to get married after the New Year. By the way, how much money does the family have?”

  Although Lijun is in charge of the account now, Qian also knows in his heart. She said, “Don’t worry, it’s enough to have a wedding.”

  Lao Zhoutou is relieved.

  As soon as Qian’s side intends to propose a marriage, Man Bao said: “I have discussed with Liu Taiyi, and I think Xiao Yuan is a good matchmaker. I mentioned it to Xiao Yuanzheng two days ago, and he also agreed."

  She said: "Prepare gifts at home, tomorrow I will take my eldest brother and sister-in-law to Xiao’s house to invite Xiao Yuanzheng?"

  Qian nodded and immediately prepared a gift for her.

Because the marriage hasn’t been done yet, so now I only need to invite a matchmaking, and this kind of marriage that the two parties have agreed upon is also an acquaintance invited to be a matchmaking. You don’t even need the matchmaking money. You only need to prepare something for food. simple.

  The next day Man Bao took his eldest brother and sister-in-law to Xiao’s house with gifts.

  Xiao Yuan received Zhou Man’s post one day in advance, and waited at home early. After receiving the gift from their house, he smiled and said: "It just so happens that there is a place for lunch."

  This is going to propose to them at noon.

  Zhou Dalang and Xiaoqian quickly thanked them.

Xiao Yuan was politely entertaining, and when he sent Man Bao out the door, he sighed: "My little daughter is about the same age as Doctor Liu, and it will take two years before she leaves the palace. If there is a suitable candidate for Doctor Zhou, don’t forget. Tell me about it."

   Zhou Man: "...Okay."

  How did she become a matchmaker somehow?

  Looking at Zhou's family walking away, Xiao Yuan was sighing. Mrs. Xiao walked to him at some unknown time, and sighed, "I said that she was going to tell the children at home..."

  "Farewell," Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Your son is not worthy of others."

  Ms. Xiao said angrily: "It sounds like it's not your son."

See you tomorrow
