Qin Shan's proposal was like a gust of wind that blew through several villages around the town.
Originally, some people thought that Qin Shan was not worthy of Zhang Miaomiao. After all, one went to college, and the other went to school for many years. They were not a good match at all. But when these people heard that Qin Shan was willing to take out 1,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, they were immediately shocked and began to talk about Qin Shan's savings.
Some people said that Qin Shan had occupied the station in the town and the county for so many years, so he must be a household of 10,000 yuan.
This guess was agreed by the public. Thinking that Qin Shan was a household of 10,000 yuan, it became reasonable for him to ask Zhang Miaomiao for a favor. Instead, they envied Zhang Miaomiao's good luck.
Some people also found that it was actually good for girls to read more books. Finding a husband was an example. Zhang Miaomiao's boyfriend in college was from the family of the city's political commissar. Now, Qin Shan, a household of 10,000 yuan, proposed to marry her. Everyone was guessing which family would be the female top scorer.
But some people in the village also found that Chen Xiuzhen did not seem to mention Zhang Miaomiao's college classmate again. Some people guessed that the two of them urged each other. So, Qin Shan came to propose marriage?
Gradually, the rumor that Zhang Miaomiao and the son of the political commissar broke up spread in the village. Chen Xiuzhen was angry and secretly made up her mind that she must marry Zhang Miaomiao to Qin Shan. Chen Xiuzhen also doubted the guess that Qin Shan was a household of 10,000 yuan. After all, when she increased the betrothal gift to 1,500 yuan, Qin Shan did not show any expression.
So, when Chen Xiuzhen heard the rumor that Qin Shan was a household of 10,000 yuan, she was very happy. As long as the Third Eldest Son married Qin Shan, the two families were so close, which could help Lao Wu more than the family of the political commissar. Chen Xiuzhen was more convinced that it was a good idea to marry the Third Eldest Son to Qin Shan. But the Third Eldest Son was too big and did not like her. Chen Xiuzhen could only slowly persuade Zhang Chengzong to stand on her side. She did not believe that the Third Eldest Son would really not recognize his parents. of
After Qin Shan caused a tornado of rumors in the village, he never appeared again. Zhang Miaomiao even suspected that she was hallucinating. It was only when she saw the villagers staring at her and whispering among themselves that she confirmed that the entire village knew about Qin Shan's marriage proposal.
Zhang Miaomiao even suspected that it was her illusion. But when she saw the villagers staring at her and whispering, she was really sure that the whole village knew that Qin Shan proposed to her. She had experienced the torture of rumors in her dreams, so her mind was not so fragile. Moreover, these were just gossip. Zhang Miaomiao did not have the mood to care about these things. She worked in the daytime to think about the plot, and at night, she worked hard under the kerosene lamp.
As the days passed, the sun became hotter and hotter. The rice in the fields around the village began to sprout ears of wheat, and the corn in the fields began to ripen.
The village began to be busy again.
In the afternoon, Zhang Shugen came back and told his family that his grandma's family would harvest corn the next day. He asked the whole family to help. He also asked his parents to send someone to ask his eldest and second sister to come back to help.
Chen Xiuzhen also planned to harvest corn in the next few days. She immediately asked Zhang Miaocao to cut the grass in the afternoon and go home early. Then she went to his eldest and second sister's house and asked them to come back early tomorrow.
Zhang Miaocao and Zhang Miaomiao finished their work early in the afternoon. They went home, put down their baskets, and ran home. Zhang Miaomiao, on the other hand, began to prepare dinner at home.
By the time Zhang Miaocao came back from his sister's house, the sky was completely dark. Zhang Miaomiao arranged for Zhang Miaocao to eat. Thinking that they would be busy tomorrow, they washed up and went to bed.
The next day, Chen Xiuzhen woke up the whole family early in the morning. When they were about to leave, she found that her two daughters were not back yet. She could not help but shout at Zhang Miaocao, "The Fourth Prince, I asked you to ask your eldest and second sister to come and help yesterday. Why aren't they here yet?"
Zhang Miaocao suddenly looked like a withered leaf. She stammered, "I, I called them."
"When did they say they would come?"
Zhang Miaocao was about to speak when a voice came from the door. "Mom, do you think we have X-ray eyes? How can we walk in the dark? "
Zhang Miaocao looked up in surprise and saw three people walking in. He greeted them happily. "Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Brother-in-law."
Chen Xiuzhen choked and looked at her second son unhappily. "Why are you the only one here? Where's Li Hu?"
Zhang Miaoye was also unhappy. Because of the good weather, everyone was rushing to harvest the corn. After all, the corn kernels and corn stalks needed to be exposed to the sun.
After the corn stalks were exposed to the sun, they had to be carried home to be used as firewood in the woodshed. If it rained, the loss of the corn stalks would not be small. Their mountain was not big, so they were seriously short of firewood. Their family was also a big family, and the corn in the field was already ripe. If it was not for the fact that she was worried that Miao Cao would be scolded, Zhang Miaoye did not want to come at all.
Hearing her mother's words, Zhang Miaoye could not help but be timid. "My family has so much work. Are we not going to do all of it? When the time comes, mom, are you going to take care of all the food for my family? "
Chen Xiuzhen was speechless. She glared at Zhang Miaoye. "You're a slippery one." An ingrate who only cared about her in-laws.
Zhang Miaoye was about to reply, but her eldest sister, Zhang Miaoxin, pulled Zhang Miaoye's hand and persuaded, "Second Brother, don't quarrel with mom all the time."
Zhang Miaoye looked at her eldest sister and did not say anything. She sneered in her heart and walked directly to the Third Eldest Son, Zhang Miaomiao. "When are you going to school?"
Zhang Miaomiao wiped the water off her face. "I'm going next week."
"Your teacher is going to start school so early?"
"No, I'll be back after a meeting." Zhang Miaomiao suddenly thought of something. "Second Sister, I have something to tell you later."
Zhang Miaoye looked at Zhang Miaomiao and nodded.
On the other hand, Zhang Miaoxin went into the house after coaxing Chen Xiuzhen.
Soon, everyone was ready and followed Chen Xiuzhen and Zhang Chengzong to the cornfield.
Second Aunt, Qiao Chunhua, was a little jealous when she saw the big group of people. "Sister-in-law, it's so good to have so many daughters."
Qiao Chunhua only had two sons. Because of these two sons, Qiao Chunhua's status in the Zhang family had always been high. But when her eldest son was sent to prison, Qiao Chunhua lowered her head. Especially during the period when Zhang Miaomiao was admitted to university, Qiao Chunhua wanted to hide at home and never go out. Looking at her sister-in-law's daughters now, Qiao Chunhua thought that she should have had more.
Chen Xiuzhen's face darkened. She felt that Qiao Chunhua was mocking her, so she didn't say anything.
Qian Dahua thought of the rumors in the village. Qin Shan proposed to the eldest daughter. She couldn't help but say, "No matter how good a daughter is, she belongs to someone else."
As the eldest daughter, Zhang Miaoxin had always been despised by her grandmother because she was a girl. She had witnessed Second Aunt's arrogance since she was young. Hearing this, she immediately lowered her head.
Zhang Miaoye was angry. If it wasn't for the fear of being struck by lightning, she would have begged the heavens to take this old woman away.
Zhang Miaomiao couldn't help but say, "Grandmother, Eldest Sister and Second Sister belong to someone else. Let them go."
As soon as she said this, there was a silence in the air. Only the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind could be heard.
Qian Dahua's face turned red. She was the one who asked Zhang Miaoye and Zhang Miaoxin to come back. Zhang Miaomiao's words were a slap to her face.
Zhang Miaoye and Zhang Miaocao were a little worried. They stared at Qian Dahua.
Although Zhang Miaoxin was worried about Zhang Miaomiao, she didn't agree with it. The Third Eldest Son was a junior. It was outrageous for him to be so cowardly in front of his elders. However, the Third Eldest Son had a sharp tongue. After suffering once, Zhang Miaoxin didn't dare to educate Zhang Miaomiao in public. Therefore, Zhang Miaoxin looked at Chen Xiuzhen expectantly.
However, Chen Xiuzhen's expression made Zhang Miaoxin confused.
