Chapter 43

Sixteen years old? Can you give birth? Liu Yi's heart twitched. Who doesn't want to marry a wife? But if he wants to marry a sixteen-year-old girl, isn't it a bit like a girl who was so old before, it seems that she has started calling him uncle?

Lao Liu didn't pay attention to the expression on Liu Yi's face and said to himself: "The girl lives in Xiaoxinzhuang, her surname is Zhang, her name is Chuchu, and she is Zhang Boliang's daughter. There is also a big brother on it. Zhang Chuwen, well, it is the scholar who came to our family last time. You have seen it. They like you very much."

"Dad," Liu Yi interrupted Liu Laoshi and said with a bitter face: "I still have many matters to deal with now. Can we raise this matter now?"

"Let me mention it later?" Lao Liu's face turned dark at the time and scolded: "You don't have the right amount to interrupt this matter! Just stay by the side. Your mother and I like Miss Chuchu very much, and we have already decided."

"Yes, one." Liu He also advised from the side: "You are already eighteen when you get married. If you don't marry a wife and have children, what does it look like? You will only add to other people's gossip."

"But, mom" Liu Yiuan wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Lao Liu's autocratic. Lao Liu said with a frightened face: "Nothing, I'll make the decision on this matter. I'll give a betrothal gift tomorrow and set a date for marriage. The incense of Lao Liu's family is still waiting for you to continue!"

After saying that, Lao Liu shook his sleeves and went out, not giving Liu a chance to speak.

Liu You looked at his mother with a sincere face, then looked at Liu Eryou who was smiling aside, and sighed helplessly, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad. He actually walked out of the house with Liu Xiaohui in his arms.

In fact, Liu Yiu is quite willing to marry a wife, both psychologically and physically.

The so-called "Red Sleeping incense" is a night of study, and a beautiful woman sleeps drunk. Which man doesn't want one beauty or even multiple beauties to accompany him often. However, he still can't accept moral concepts when marrying such a young girl.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yi opposed it when Lao Liu forced to marry him, but he did not firmly stop it.

Liu Yiu found a clean place to sit down, put Liu Xiaohui on his lap, and asked softly: "Little sister, brother, I'll ask you a question, you must answer honestly. Well, have you met Sister Chuchu when you arrived in Xiaoxinzhuang just now?"

"Well, Sister Chuchu, I saw it. Sister Chuchu likes Xiaohui very much." Liu Xiaohui nodded cutely.

"Oh? Is that sister Chuchu so pretty?" Liu Yiuan felt a little dirty. He clearly said he didn't agree but was still asking for the news here.

"It looks good, even better than my mother!" Liu Xiaohui held Liu Yi's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, can you marry Sister Chuchu back? Xiaohui wants to play with Sister Chuchu."

"Uh" Any such young child knows this? But it's not easy to make a child like her so much in less than an hour. Liu Yi patted Liu Xiaohui's head gently and said, "Let's talk about this in the future. Now, will you take you to ride Xiaohuang?"

"Okay! Thank you brother!" Amid Liu Xiaohui's cheerful laughter, Xiao Huang became her mount.

After playing for a while, he felt that Liu Ertiao had almost finished writing, so Liu Yi sent Liu Xiaohui to Liu He's house again.

Then he took Liu Ertiao's contract to go out.

Wang Kui's original land was in the north wall of Sanyuan County, less than two miles away from Gutian Village where Liu Yi is located. Therefore, Liu Yi can reach the gathering place of the tenants in less than two minutes.

There were ninety-one households and three hundred and eighty-one people, of which 158 were arable men. The others were elderly, women, and children. They could not go to the fields, cultivate land, and could not create much wealth for Liu Yi. So Liu Yi only brought 158 ​​contracts this time.

Although he was very sympathetic to the living conditions of these villagers, Liu Yiu would never sign a group of idle people who could eat. After all, he is also a poor person now and he can't afford to sign.

Moreover, the salary that Liu Yipeng paid to these men was enough for their family to spend in a month. He didn't have to worry about it.

When Liu Yi arrived, Li Dechen had gathered all the ninety-one families on the list. They were all men over fifteen years old and under ten years old. When Liu Yi came, they stood on the side in a regular manner. They all had a very common fear of their bosses.

Liu Yiuan didn't care and asked Li Dechen to move a table and chair in the yard. Sitting on the chair, he put a brush, a square of inkstone, a box of red mud, and the stack of contracts on the table. Then he said, "Dear fellow villagers, we officially start signing the contract now. Those who are literate sign their own names, and those who are illiterate leave their own handprints. You can have one contract, and I will leave one. After signing, go home and wait for news. After the land is thawed in spring, I will ask Li Laozhan to inform you to reclaim wasteland."

"Well, there are thirty hectares of land, eleven oxen, and there are also plows and carts, which are commonly used farm tools. At that time, I will distribute the land to you evenly according to the number of people, and the oxen will be used in turn. Well, let Li Laozhan tell you about the specific matters in detail in the future. Okay, let's start."

Liu Yi looked at Li Dechen and said, "Let's start with Old Li. The rest come from near to far, one by one."

"Thank you, boss!" Li Dechen walked to the table and bent over to thank Liu Yi.

Liu Yi nodded and handed him the pen. More than 100 contracts were signed, and nearly half an hour passed. After signing, the afternoon passed. Liu Yi didn't even have time to go to the blacksmith shop. He had to put the matter of deciding the plowshare for the time being.

When I got home, I found that there were a lot of cloth in the main hall of my house. Liu Laoshi was holding a piece of cloth to observe.

Liu Yi approached, and asked strangely like Liu Yi, "Dad, why do you have so much cloth at home? What do you want to do?"

Lao Liu put the cloth in his hand on the table and smiled and said, "One one, come on, look, five pieces of cloth, three pairs of jade bracelets, one pair of headdresses, and two sets of new clothes. Well, as a betrothal gift for tomorrow's proposal, it should be enough, right?"

"Between?" Liu Yiuan was wrong. Unexpectedly, what Liu Laoshi said in the afternoon was true. "Dad, are you a little too hasty?" Liu Yiu said. The reason I just received in the afternoon was to be hired tomorrow. Isn't this a bit outrageous?

"What's the hurry?" Lao Liu glared and said, "I wish I could marry you tomorrow and hold my grandson the day after tomorrow. Do you think it's so fast? Others have two or three children when they are as old as you!"

Seeing that Liu Yi didn't say anything, Lao Liu slowed down and said, "I have decided on the day. On the fifth day of next month, I will discuss with my in-laws and settle the date of marriage. Then you go with me to meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, and wish them a happy old age." He glanced at Liu Yi and said, "If you have the chance, maybe you can still meet Miss Chuchu."
