Chapter 9
Xiao Jie's small chicken farm is very popular. As an entrepreneurial young man who has received a university science education and experience in agricultural practice, Xiao Jie has explored a way to get rich by grazing chickens through hard work.Around June, the first batch of laying hens had grown up and produced small eggs one by one, which were warm in the chicken coop.When Xiao Jie found the first egg while cleaning the chicken coop, she jumped up with excitement.
The native eggs are indeed a bit smaller than those commercial chicken eggs. The first batch of eggs sold in the city did not do well, and they only earned some living money. People in the village said that Xiao Jie was stupid when they saw it, and set up a chicken farm. Xiao Jie also raised native chickens, Xiao Jie just smiled and was not in a hurry, and continued to serve his chickens diligently every day.
There is a chicken farm in Nuo Da, and the only people who can actually work are Xiao Jie and Xiao Ran. Seeing this, Wang Feng suddenly had an idea in his heart. Xiao Jie is already 19 years old this year, and Xiao Ran is engaged, but Xiao As the eldest brother, Jie did not move at all.Since Xiao Jie doesn't go to school anymore, it's the right way to get married and have children as soon as possible.Besides, Xiao Jie is working so hard now, and he really needs a companion to help him.Therefore, Wang Feng planned to help his eldest son talk about a marriage.
Wang Feng thinks it is a good thing for his son to be ambitious, but personal problems cannot be ignored.Everyone's children have a partner. The dog next door married a wife at the age of 18, and now the baby is pregnant.Wang Feng hinted this to Xiao Jie, but Xiao Jie didn't respond at all, like a piece of wood.Wang Feng felt worried, and couldn't think of a good solution by herself, so she went to Chen's house to find Chen Dong's daughter-in-law, He Xiu, to see if she could give her an idea.The two women sat down to discuss this.
"Sister, what do you think our Xiao Jie is doing?" Wang Feng said with a frown.
"Usually, he doesn't even look at those little girls. I hinted to him for a long time, but he didn't seem to listen. I'm so worried." Wang Feng shook his head and sighed when he mentioned this.
He Xiu is a typical traditional woman, and she also thinks that she should start a family first and then start a career.
"That's right, Xiao Jie is too steadfast in his job, and has delayed the marriage." He Xiu followed suit, thinking about it, and suddenly remembered a person, and then his eyes lit up.
"Sister, go to Xi Po for this matter, I think it will be useful." He Xiu suggested enthusiastically, Xi Po is an old woman in Lishui Village who is very talkative, because he is the only old lady with bound feet in the village, so Everyone calls her Xi Po.
"But, I'm stupid, I don't know how to talk to people." Wang Feng was in a dilemma, because of her physical problems, she stayed at home all year round and didn't communicate with others, so she was very bored.
"It's up to me, sister, I'll go to my mother-in-law's house tomorrow and talk to her, let her see that I've found a marriage for Xiao Jie, and I'm sure she will agree." He Xiu She didn't think it was a big problem, so she could help Wang Feng solve it.
Wang Feng was very happy when she heard this. She is alone and weak. It would be great if Dongzi's daughter-in-law could help her talk about it.Wang Feng looked happy and a little embarrassed, his family always troubled Chen Dong's family.
"Sister, I'll leave this to you. I also know that our family is poor, and we shouldn't be too extravagant in marriage. It doesn't matter if the girl is beautiful or not. I just want to find a stronger one who can give Xiao Jie Please help me." For Wang Feng, the most important thing is for the daughter-in-law to be in good health. For rural women, it is enough to be able to work and have children.
"You can't say that. Xiao Jie is going to have a big future. I will let Xi Po find him the best one." He Xiu just took the matter down.
Wang Feng let go of the big stone in his heart, and immediately felt relieved. The two women happily sat together and kowtowed melon seeds, imagining Xiao Jie's future daughter-in-law.
Xiao Jie was completely unaware of this matter. He really didn't understand her mother's repeated hints before.This is also Wang Feng's fault, who made her hint too dark, it didn't play the role of hint at all.
That day, Xian Sheng had just returned home from school when he saw his mother standing in the yard, struggling to get enough of the bunches of dried chilies drying on the roof with a bamboo pole. It's not an ordinary egg, it's the kind of small egg that the chickens in Brother Xiao Jie's chicken farm produce.
"Mother, let me help you." Xian Sheng has grown a lot, and now he is almost a head taller than He Xiu. His stronger arm took over the pole in He Xiu's hand, and he put it down easily, and he was gone. Enough with the chilli.
"Hey, my son has grown taller again." He Xiu smiled, and put the bunch of dried chilies into the basket containing eggs.
"Mom, why do you want so many dried chilies?" Xiao Jie asked inexplicably.
"I'm going to visit Xipo's neighborhood, these are gifts for Xipo." He Xiu replied.
"This basket of eggs is from Xiao's family. I don't think the color looks good, so I thought about adding a bunch of dried chilies. Yellow and red look festive."
Xian Sheng was very surprised, why did Mother suddenly remember to go to Xi Po's place to walk the neighborhood?And why did the Xiao family give gifts to Xi Po?Why did my mother take the gift for my little wife?
"Mother, why do you have to give gifts to my little wife when you go to the neighborhood?"
He Xiu listened to her son's words and laughed twice, then lowered her voice.
"I'm going to find my mother-in-law to say goodbye to you brother Xiao Jie, of course I have to give you a gift! You will have a sister-in-law soon." He Xiu knew that his family's son had a very good relationship with Xiao Jie, so she told him about it , also makes him happy.
Xian Sheng was immediately shocked when he heard this, and stared at He Xiu in a daze, speechless, his heart pounding, saying kiss?Brother Xiao Jie is going to marry a wife?
"Look how stupid you are." He Xiu patted her son's face with a smile, then ignored Xian Sheng, picked up the basket on the ground, hummed a little song and stepped out of the courtyard.
Xian Sheng stood in the yard, blinked his eyes, came back to his senses and suddenly felt all kinds of depression, thinking that brother Xiao Jie was getting older, it was time for him to marry a wife, this was indeed a happy event...but...why didn't he Not happy?
Xian Sheng was tormented all night by Xiao Jie's plan to talk about marriage. When Xiao Jie came to help Xian Sheng with tutoring, Xian Sheng was absent-minded all the time. Thinking of the happy expression on his mother's face when his mother came back, he knew it was over. .Xian Sheng was holding the pen, writing and drawing on the paper with his brain completely out of state, not knowing what he was doing.
"Son, what did you write?" Xiao Jie took Xian Sheng's homework book, and suddenly saw that there was some solution to the problem, just two large words: daughter-in-law!
"Ah?" Xian Sheng woke up like a dream, looked at the two words on the homework book, his face turned red, he quickly snatched the book back, erased the handwriting with an eraser, he had been thinking about Xiao Jie looking for a wife just now How did you write it down.
"Birth, what do you want your daughter-in-law to be?" Xiao Jie shook her head dumbfounded.
When Xian Sheng heard Xiao Jie say this, he felt very uncomfortable, and a sour feeling suddenly surged up.
"I want a wife? Hmph, I don't know who wants a wife." Xian Sheng felt sour in his heart and spoke sourly, as if he had just been fished out of a jar of vinegar.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jie felt that the child's tone was not good after hearing this, did he offend the child?
"It's not interesting." Xian Sheng was originally a person who could hide his thoughts, but for some reason, he couldn't help but want to get angry all the time today.
"When you get married, I will definitely give you the biggest gift. Are you happy?" Xian Sheng said gloomyly.
"Hey, you're a child with a lot of heart, but why do I hear that tone of voice is weird." Xiao Jie smiled. The child's birth today probably happened because something went wrong at school, otherwise why would he be so yin and yang? .
"When I get married, I don't know the year of the dog. You can think about it when the time comes." Xiao Jie's current life plan has not included the project of marriage, mainly because he has already lost his love for love. If you can meet the right one in the future, you will be together. If you can't, don't force yourself.
Xian Sheng heard the words and glanced at Xiao Jie, and almost cut off the pen in his hand with all his strength.This means admitting it!Just getting married!
"I'm sure I can remember." Xian Sheng said this sentence forcefully, then lowered his head, buried his face in the sea of questions, and stopped talking.
