At the west end of Chengtianzhai Village, there is a square yard. Three main houses built of adobe and bricks facing north and south have already been traced by time. Although the yard is yellow soil, it is cleaned up and clean, and an old dog with hair faded is walking around the yard.

At this time, in the Sanjian's house, there were a few older people sitting on small stools and straw studs made of straw ropes, with two cents a box of golden clock cigarettes in their fingers.

"Uncle II, drink water." A pale woman walked in with a mottled tray and carefully placed a few large, thick porcelain bowls in the plate on the small table.

This small table is very sturdy, but it should be something that is a bit old when looking at the shape.

The old man who sat on his head, whose face had been tempered by the years, waved his hand and said, "Xigui wife, don't be busy, we will leave after we talk."

The woman didn't say anything, just smiled. However, from her expression, it can be seen that she didn't want to leave the room, but in the end, she took the tray and looked at the old man who was smoking silently, and walked silently outside the door.

The old man who was just talking picked up the candy water and took a sip, then touched his beard with some water and said, "Xigui, we are here this time mainly to testify to Jiaxing. He wants to tell you about the two families."

The man known as Xigui was wearing a black cotton jacket. Although several patches were sewn with clever hands, they still couldn't be blocked. He took a sip of the cigarette in his hand, then coughed and said, "Brother Jiaxing, what's the matter!"

According to this title, the man in Jiaxing Ge should be older than the man named Xigui, but judging from the appearance of the two people, which one Xigui should be the brother. Although he is from a rural area, Tian Jiaxing does not have much wind and frost on his face, his white and fat face, and his hair is meticulously combed, which gives people a unique feeling.

He took out a box of two yuan colorful butterfly smoke from his blue duck down jacket and dispersed it around and then said, "Xigui, I originally planned to come over to tell you myself, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was involved in the lifelong affairs of the child, so I still bothered several elders to come together."

Speaking of the word "child", Cheng Xigui's mouth twitched subconsciously. Tian Jiaxing brought the family leader to his house to find him. This attitude is probably not a good thing.

He pinched the golden Zhongyan in his hand hard, and the hot ashes burned on his palms filled with thick cocoons, without any sense.

"Brother Xigui, our relationship has been good since the older generation. I grew up with Jieguo, the child, I watched. This child is kind-hearted, willing to endure hardships, and able to work. It's good, I like it too." Tian Jiaxing said this, touched his chin and said, "He and Tian Hua also grew up together. If the two children can be together, I'm very happy."

Cheng Xigui was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. He was almost heartbroken about his eldest son's affairs and couldn't sleep all night. Finally, he concluded that it was impossible for two children.

Not to mention that Tian Hua is now a formal teacher in the village, it is not easy to say that his father Tian Jiaxing is just a good time. Cheng Xigui and Tian Jiaxing grew up together, and he knows Tian Jiaxing very well. Tian Jiaxing has been a snobbish couple since childhood, and he is as hornet-like as a hornet's nest. His family's situation is backwards in the whole village. How could he be willing to marry his daughter?

He hesitated for a moment. When Cheng Xigui felt this was incredible, Tian Jiaxing said again: "Brother Xigui, I have thought about the future of Xiaohua. Two days ago, I went to the county town to find my elder brother. He had already done the matter. After the New Year, Huaer went to the county town to be a teacher!"

"The county town is not as good as our township, and there is a classroom to live in. If the two children are really married, they cannot live without a place. I went to the county town two days ago and saw that there is a good piece of land, and it is good to build a yard with more than half acre. I have negotiated the price with others and took out the land money. Do you see if this house is..."

Tian Jiaxing wanted to say something but stopped, but the meaning was very obvious. That is, your son wanted to marry my daughter, so he built a house in the county town. I had already bought all the land!

Cheng Xigui looked up at the gray roof of his main hall, feeling a little sad. These three houses were started when he got married twenty years ago, and now they are already leaking everywhere. How can he have the ability to build a house in the county town?

"Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, it's so expensive. Jiaxing's proposal is good. I think it would be great if I let the two children live in the county town in the future." The man who was called the second uncle stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Cheng Xigui didn't say anything, but just dispersed the golden smoke in his hand again. Several people in the room began to discuss how much it would cost to build a yard in the county town, and some even sighed at Tian Huaneng's entry into the county school.

Tian Jiaxing always had a faint smile on his face and spoke calmly. He heard too many compliments, smiled at everyone, and said lightly: "Our daughter Tian Hua teaches her very well, and with her uncle's recommendation, the matter is done."

Although he said it was calm and gentle, it was a huge thing for the people in the village. The second uncle laughed and said, "Your elder brother is the Golden Phoenix who went out of our village. He is the chief of the county and the big man like the township chief."

"Hahaha, second uncle, my elder brother will definitely be very happy to hear you praise him..."

As the conversation was made, everyone left the Cheng family with Tian Jiaxing. Tian Jiaxing came here this time, and he didn't want Cheng Xigui to give him a clear answer. His main purpose of coming to the Cheng family this time was to let the Cheng family know what it means to retreat from difficulties.

Your son likes my girl? Well, because we are old neighbors, we agree to this marriage, but my daughter wants to teach in the county and have a house to live in. I have bought the land, so you can build the house.

If you can't cover it up, then what else do you have to let your son pester my daughter? Your Cheng family is shameless in front of so many fellow villagers.

Regarding this idea, Tian Jiaxing was helpless. He knew that his daughter's stubborn temper was useless. The only way was to open a breakthrough from the Cheng family.

A person lives a face and a tree lives a skin. If two children cannot get together, it is not because my Tian Jiaxing's lower eyelids are swollen, but because your Cheng family does not have the ability! He believes that according to Cheng Xigui Ning's unyielding surname, he will definitely force his son to break up with his daughter.

This boy Cheng Jieguo is pretty good, but no matter how good he is, he is still a muddy person. Everyone says that his adopted daughter is looking forward to a high school. Can the boy of the Cheng family deserve his daughter who went to college and ate a public meal? This is simply a matter of life!

"Brother Xigui, you should advise Jieguo in this matter! Tian Jiaxing is not talking about his children's marriage. He clearly tells us that our family is not worthy of marrying his daughter. I have worked in the county and I can get a house at least 20,000 yuan." Cheng Xifa, a cousin who has a good relationship with Cheng Xigui, said in a deep voice, pinching the cigarette roll.

Cheng Xigui nodded and said, "Xifa, I know this."

"The second girl from my wife and cousin's house is pretty good. She does a good job of needlework and has a good character. She met Jieguo when she came to my house last time and was very interesting to Jieguo. During the Chinese New Year, I asked your brother and sister to explore the tone there. If there is no problem, let's give this marriage!"

Cheng Xifa’s suggestion made Cheng Xigui silent for a while. The two of them were just hunched over and smoked in the room for a while. Cheng Xigui finished smoking a cigarette, stepped on the soles of his feet and rubbed it: “Then I’ll bother Brother Xifa!”

When Cheng Jieguo returned home, the smell of smoke at home had not yet dissipated. Cheng Jieguo looked at his father who was smoking with his head, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Dad, what are they doing?"

"It's nothing." The old couple's wrinkled wrinkled face immediately calmed down as before. The old man winked at his wife: "The old woman cut a plate of the large intestine I bought the day before yesterday, and I will have two cups of it."

His wife Ren Gaini looked at the old man, opened her mouth a few times, and swallowed it again. She looked at her baby with heartache with her feelings of love, took down the old pickles on the table, and began to arrange scrambled eggs for her son.

Cheng Xigui took out a pot of wine from the cabinet and said, "How about we, my father and I, try this wine."

Blood rushed to Cheng Jieguo's head with a bang. He looked at his father in surprise, and immediately felt at a loss. He felt a pain in his chest. His muscles tightened and his limbs became numb and stiff.

Cheng Xigui picked up the small bowl in front of him and drank the wine in the bowl with a gurgling sound.

Cheng Jieguo looked at his father's actions and picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine from the bowl.

The father and son drank with each other in just over ten minutes, and one third of the pot of wine fell. No one moved a single chopstick to the dish served on the plate.

After drinking the last drop of wine in the bowl, Cheng Xigui said, "Son, Dad, say to you an old saying, tailor your clothes and eat with the pot. Dad knows that you feel wronged. Then, I asked you, Uncle Xifa to find a marriage for you. In the future, we will live a down-to-earth day. If you are a farmer, you will be a farmer. There are all farmers in the world!"

Cheng Jieguo nodded with his lips tremblingly and said, "Dad, I understand!"

"Dad, my brother likes Sister Tian Hua. You can't force my brother..." Xiao Lingling came in from outside the door.

"Your father doesn't have that ability!" Cheng Xigui raised his hand, but it didn't fall down. Tears were in his eyes.

Cheng Jiemin returned to the room with sore legs and touched the small radio in his pocket. Thinking of the woman lying on his chest and sobbing affectionately. His heart hurt like a needle, and the pain made thousands of arrows pierce the heart...
