"Sister-in-law, you really worry too much about your age," Mrs. Sun said with a smile.

"Not to mention that our Zichuan is both talented and beautiful. He is twenty-seven years old, upright and young."

"Don't say twenty-seven, he is thirty-seven or forty-seven. Just because of his appearance, his knowledge, his talent, and his limitless future, those beautiful girls are rushing to marry him. !”

"What's more, what we Zichuan married is not to fill a house with a stepmother, nor to take a concubine, but to marry a real wife."

"When you marry, you will be the wife of the county magistrate. In the future, Zichuan will be promoted to a higher position, and your wife will rise with the tide. How wonderful, and all the relatives and friends of your mother's family will also benefit from it!"

Sun's words made Widow Liu feel a lot more at ease and she also regained a lot of self-confidence.

"Mother Qing'er, if you say so, can you please help me keep an eye on it and let some news out?" Widow Liu begged.

Sun agreed readily.

Widow Liu couldn't wait to ask Mr. Sun: "I haven't been in the village for the past two years. Tell me, there are girls at the door of this house who are fourteen or fifteen years old? They can be sixteen, seventy or eight years old!"

Sun thought carefully for a while and reported several names in one breath.

Widow Liu was thinking as she listened. Some of them had an impression, while others were a bit vague.

Even in the village, she didn't go out much, so she didn't know much about the children of all ages in the village.

"Ms. Qing'er, you seem to have missed two." Widow Liu suddenly reminded.

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment and did not react.

Widow Liu smiled and said: "I see that in your and your sister's family, there are two yellow-flowered girls who haven't even announced their marriage yet!"

Mrs. Sun immediately realized who Widow Liu was talking about.

"Sister-in-law, you mean Xiaoduo and Xiaojie?"

"Um."

Sun smiled.

"They are both fourteen after the Chinese New Year. They are indeed old enough to talk about their husband's family. However, I never thought about pulling Xiaoduo and Zichuan's red line,"

"My sister probably doesn't think about Xiaojie in that regard, so I won't mention it at all."

"Besides, there are Huahua from Ping'er's family and Xiangxiang, the third girl from the fourth room of Old Yang's family. These two girls are only ten years old after the Chinese New Year, so they are too young."

"The old Yang family, the old Sun family, and the old Luo family don't have a suitable daughter to marry Zichuan!" Sun said in one breath.

"Xiaoduo and Xiaojie are of a good age. I also like their appearance and personality..." Widow Liu said without concealing the admiration in her eyes.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Mrs. Sun's face.

Widow Liu said: "What? You persuaded me so much before, saying that my family, Zichuan, is so good, but now it's your turn, you are reluctant to marry your daughter to me?"

Mrs. Sun shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, we don't talk secretly."

"If Zichuan and Qing'er didn't have anything to do with each other before, I would definitely be happy to marry you. Zichuan is such a good son-in-law, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"It's just that Zichuan, I'm afraid he still has some obstacles in his heart that he hasn't overcome yet."

"I don't want Qing'er's sisters to get married. If Qing'er were at home, I would probably have the same idea."

"I just thought that Zichuan could marry a girl who has nothing to do with our old Yang family. In this way, it would be easier to win over his heart, what do you think?" asked Sun.

Widow Liu remained silent and looked a little unhappy.

"My Zichuan... is fine, there's nothing wrong..." Widow Liu said weakly.

Sun said: "If you were really unreasonable, would you have delayed getting married until now?"

"He is busy with official business..." Widow Liu said.

Mrs. Sun smiled slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, it's just the two of us here. Let's stop talking about those pretexts. We really don't know what's going on with the children?"

"You say you're busy with business, but what about my Tang Yazi? He's even busier than Zichuan. He's already leading troops to fight in the southwest during the Chinese New Year. Why don't we get married and have children without delay?"

Widow Liu sighed and said, "Ms. Qing'er, you are so hard-working, but you know how miserable I am!"

Mrs. Sun also sighed, "I understand, I understand everything."

Widow Liu pointed to her sunken cheek and said to Mrs. Sun: "When you first saw me, didn't you ask me how I have been doing these days and why I am so thin?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I haven't come over to talk to you these past few days because I'm on a hunger strike at home!"

"Hunger strike?" Ms. Sun was shocked, "Why?"

Widow Liu said: "Isn't it just to force Zichuan to relent? That kid is too stubborn. He has been stuck in that dead end for so many years and still can't get out. I can only use this cruel trick."

Mrs. Sun understood, and her face was filled with emotion.

"Hey, Zichuan is a good boy, but in this life, his fate with Qing'er and my family has not been cultivated to the point of being husband and wife..."

"Just relax now. I will help you get the news out later. Don't worry!" said Sun.

Widow Liu smiled gratefully.

The two continued to make dumplings, and Mrs. Sun said to Widow Liu: "We will eat dumplings at my house later at night. Eat two more bowls to make up for the loss. Call Shang Zichuan and come over together."

Widow Liu nodded cheerfully.

At night, when the dumplings were cooked, Widow Liu came over and said that Mu Zichuan had been reading for a long time during the day and fell asleep before dark, so she didn't call him over.

"Okay, then let him sleep. When you leave later, take some raw dumplings back and cook them for Zichuan tomorrow."

Mrs. Sun said, inviting Widow Liu to come in and sit down.

Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian also came over with their two children to join in the fun. Tuoba Xian went to bed early at night, so Sun planned to leave Tuoba Xian alone early tomorrow morning.

After a while, Xiaohua entered the kitchen from outside.

"Mom, I just went across the street to invite Mr. Ga and uncle to come over to eat dumplings. Uncle said that he would just send Dajie and Huangmao Xiaojie over to eat a few dumplings later."

"Grandpa is not in good health. He doesn't want to move or eat at night. He and his aunt stayed to look after Grandpa and they didn't come over."

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun grabbed Xiaohua and asked, "Have you seen your grandpa? He doesn't look better yet?"

Maybe it was because Da'an got married a few days ago. Old Suntou was so happy that he drank too much. When he returned to the house, he forgot to take off his clothes and fell asleep on the quilt.

As a result, I got cold and have been lying in bed for the past few days, feeling exhausted.

Mrs. Sun went over to visit in the morning, but later she was busy and didn't go there.

Xiaohua continued, "I went to Ga Gong's house and took a look. The aunt from Sunjiagou was also there to accompany Ga Gong. Ga Gong's complexion has not deteriorated, but he said he didn't want to eat at night."

Mrs. Sun understood, "Okay, then go and set the chopsticks and bowls."

When eating dumplings, two tables were put together, and the opposite side of Cui'er's seat happened to be Da'an.

As soon as she raised her head, she could look at that handsome and almost suffocating face across from the heat of the dishes on the table.

Cui'er wanted to see it, but didn't dare to. Keeping in mind what her mother had told her, she sat there and stuttered politely.
