The growth laws of living things are similar. When a boar grows to a certain point, all aspects of its physiology tend to mature.

There will be physiological needs.

If you are not satisfied for a long time, you will become irritable and restless.

I don't want to eat and I am losing weight day by day.

After castration, all impulses and thoughts are gone.

From then on, he ate and slept, and slept and ate until he became fat and strong enough to sell for money.

After hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Mrs. Sun also looked at one of the little boars.

"It's over thirty pounds, so it's time for castration."

"But in our ten-mile-eight village, Chen butcher is the only one who knows how to castrate pigs. Our family has a quarrel with his old Chen family, so I'm afraid we won't be able to invite him!" said Sun.

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

Even if she could invite him, she still wouldn't trust him to castrate the little boar!

"Mom, don't worry, it's just a castrated pig. It's not that difficult. I'll castrate it myself when I have time!"

…

The mother and daughter cooked a sumptuous lunch to entertain the craftsmen.

Before dinner, Luo Fengtang squatted by the well in the yard and washed his hands.

Yang Ruoqing was holding a piece of fragrant soap bought from the county town and handed it to him to apply.

Then he scooped up clear well water to rinse his hands.

"We came back from the county town and you haven't gone home for a walk yet. I'm afraid your uncle is thinking about you," she said.

Luo Fengtang smiled and shook his head: "No, he came to the construction site before and met him."

"That's good." She said.

I washed my hands and dinner was already served over there.

After eating and drinking, Luo Fengtang wanted to help at the construction site in the afternoon, but Yang Ruoqing stopped her.

"I have already agreed with my parents that we will go into the mountains early tomorrow morning."

"You go back and rest in the afternoon to recharge your batteries," she said.

He couldn't defeat her and had to go home.

The courtyard was ajar, and the door to the main room was locked.

At this time, the uncle must have gone to the fish pond to take care of it after lunch, right?

There is no one at home. Could it be that my aunt and cousin have finally returned to Zhoujiacun?

He was overjoyed and quickly took out the key and opened the door to the main room.

As soon as he walked into the house, he went straight to the west room where he lived.

The door of the room was opened, the quilt on the bed was folded, and my cousin's shoes, clothes, and bundle were all placed in their original positions.

Not leaving?

Luo Fengtang frowned in disappointment.

He turned around, closed the door behind him, turned around and left the yard.

At the edge of the fish pond behind the village, Blacksmith Luo was squatting on the shore, throwing fish bait into the water.

Seeing Luo Fengtang coming over there with a tense face, Blacksmith Luo immediately guessed the purpose of his nephew's visit.

The man threw out the bait in his hand, washed his hands, and when he stood up, Luo Fengtang was already in front of him.

"There should be a limit to the exchanges between relatives. It's so annoying if we keep hanging on like this!"

Luo Fengtang frowned and opened his mouth.

Blacksmith Luo looked at Luo Fengtang with a smile, with a hint of guilt.

"I originally planned to leave yesterday, but before I went out, your aunt suddenly had a stomachache."

"In one breakfast, I went to the toilet four times, and I couldn't even walk without a trace."

"I couldn't bear it, so I had to let them stay for a few more days. When your aunt gets better, I will personally send them mother and daughter back to Zhoujiacun." Blacksmith Luo said.

"Then where are they going now?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Blacksmith Luo was surprised: "Aren't you at home? Oh, I remembered. Matchmaker Zhou came over during lunch."

"They're afraid they went to matchmaker Zhou's house and broke into the house," he said.

Luo Fengtang looked depressed.

Kick a stone under your feet into the pond, "It's a depressing life!"

After saying these words, he turned around and ran away like a gust of wind.

Blacksmith Luo looked at his running back and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

Why!

Not to mention that my nephew was depressed, so why was he himself?

The man understands what Da'e is thinking.

If you insist on not leaving, don't you just want to bring Tangyazi and Xia'er together?

The man shook his head secretly.

Not to mention that girl Qing is smart, capable and sensible.

Even if Qing girl doesn't know anything, she's still the same crazy girl as before.

As long as the two families hire a matchmaker and pay a betrothal gift, the marriage is sealed.

Even if he, Blacksmith Luo, were to die, he would not do that kind of thing of breaking off an engagement and having someone poke his spine.

Besides, Qing girl is so good, where can I find such a good niece-in-law?

…

Matchmaker Zhou’s house was filled with women.

Matchmaker Zhou, Luo Daye, Yang Shi, Zhou Xia, and several long-mouthed women in the village...

Everyone gathered together, chattering, and it was as lively as a big opera on the stage.

However, this singing opera must also have a protagonist.

The protagonist today is Yang.

Mrs. Yang came specifically to see Matchmaker Zhou.

the reason is simple.

The old Mu family had mentioned Mu Zichuan and Yang Ruolan's marriage to Yang and Yang Hualin years ago.

When it came time to recognize the bride, it was Widow Liu who came in place of Mu Zichuan.

The reason was that Mu Zichuan was very busy with her studies and couldn't spare any time, so she went through the motions instead.

Yang Hualin and Mr. Yang were dissatisfied, but they couldn't bear Yang Ruolan's curiosity and endured it.

But after recognizing the bride, it’s the man’s turn to pick up the woman and ‘cross the house’.

Then the procedures go through one after another, and it's time to get married.

However, from the beginning of the year to the end of the new year, it has been the Qingming Festival, and there is still no movement in Lao Mu's family.

Yang was anxious.

Come and find Matchmaker Zhou.

"It's not that my daughter can't get married, it's that there has been no movement in the Mu family for so long, which is not in line with etiquette!"

Yang curled her lips and said.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhou family, you are the matchmaker between our two families, so you have to urge me!" Yang said straight to the point.

Matchmaker Zhou looked embarrassed.

Having been a matchmaker for most of my life, this is the first time I have encountered something like this.

After proposing a marriage, other families are eager to get their daughter-in-law into their homes as soon as possible.

There is no further story about Lao Mu’s family...

"Sure, I'll go ask it for you tonight and see what Widow Liu means!" Matchmaker Zhou said.

Yang showed a grateful smile: "Well, I will go back to town tomorrow, and I will stay at my parents' house today, waiting for the good news from you, sister-in-law of the Zhou family!"

Matchmaker Zhou smiled, picked up the tea and drank it.

Outside the house, under a camphor tree in the yard.

Yang Ruolan and Zhou Xia stood together and talked.

Yang Ruolan is fourteen this year and is tall and well-proportioned.

Wearing a lake blue pomegranate dress, she outlined her graceful and slender waist.

Her hair is spread behind her like a waterfall, highlighting her oval face, red lips, white teeth, and vivid charm.

And Zhou Xia is twelve years old.

Because life at home is tight, her growth is not as good as that of Yang Ruolan.

She has a petite figure and is wearing coarse clothes worn by girls from farmers' families.

However, the palm-sized smiling face looked a little pale.

The eyes are big and misty.

Standing next to Yang Ruolan, who is as dazzling as a pearl, Zhou Xia's pitiful and weak posture is like a sad little white flower.

It makes people feel more pity.

Two girls stood together, each with his or her own charm.

Like a beautiful landscape, it attracts the villagers passing by outside the yard.

Especially the young people in the village couldn't move their feet.
