81 Courtship

Early the next morning, Aquatic Niang went to the captain's house to ask the captain for leave, and had breakfast, Aquatic Niang held her gray hair behind her head in front of the only broken mirror in the house, and took out a dark blue gown from the big box and put it on, she saw Shuisheng sitting on the edge of the bed and didn't know what she was thinking, and walked over and touched Shuisheng's head.

"Don't think about it, go and put on the new sweatshirt that my mother made for you last year, and look more energetic."

"Okay, I see." Shuisheng took out the white undershirt and put it on his body.

The aquatic mother went to the yard and took off the basket hanging on the branch, only to see that the basket was full of eggs, many villagers fed hens, the hens laid eggs but were reluctant to eat them themselves, most of them took them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange money, which was used to buy some needles, threads, matches, rice, oil and salt.

The aquatic mother took out a blue printed cloth and covered the basket, turned her head and saw the aquatic coming out of the house, and the mother and son walked out of the courtyard door together.

Along the way, the aquatic creatures were sullen and did not speak. The aquatic mother knew what was going on in her son's heart, and wanted to persuade her son but didn't know where to start.

The mother and son walked all the way to Lianchi Village and stood at the door of the village chief's house, Shuisheng hesitated for a long time and said, "Mom, or let's go back."

Aquatic Niang shouted inside, "Is there anyone?"

The village chief's wife came out of the door and was surprised to see the aquatic mother and aquatic standing outside: "Why are you here, come in."

The village chief's wife opened the fence door to let the aquatic lady in, and when she saw the basket that the aquatic lady was carrying on her arm, surprise flashed in her eyes, but she did not speak.

"Aquatic girl, you are?" After entering the house, the village chief's wife was surprised to see a basket full of eggs in the basket of the aquatic lady.

Shuishengniang did not answer the village chief's wife's question, but asked, "What about his village chief uncle?"

"He'll be back in a while on the team, what's going on with you?" The village chief's wife did not understand the meaning of the aquatic and aquatic mother, so she asked.

"His aunt, we do have something to discuss with you today." The aquatic mother touched the bun on the back of her head and said.

The village chief's wife saw the uncomfortable look of the aquatic lady and the basket of eggs on the table, and probably had a guess in her heart, but she did not dare to confirm it.

At that moment, he said, "I'll go and pour you a glass of water first, you must be thirsty after walking so far, let's discuss it later." After that, he went out to the kitchen and brought two bowls of water back.

Shuishengniang and Shuisheng looked at each other, Shuisheng's two hands tightly grasped his knees, it could be seen that he was very nervous now, he had been thinking about how to open his mouth for a while to get the village chief to agree to marry Yingzi to him.

Aquatic was not interested in drinking the sugar water, but looked east through the wall. Over there was Eiko's room, and he wondered what she was doing now, and would the village chief and the village chief's wife agree to marry Eiko to him in a moment.

Shuisheng's heart turned thousands of times, and when he came to Yingzi's house, he found that his heart was so uneasy.

On the side, the village elder's wife and Shuishengniang sat there across the kang table, chatting about some topics about harvest and life, sometimes talking about the new things that came out of Shili Baxiang, sometimes talking about who got married and married a daughter and gave birth to a child in Shilibaxiang, and talked for a long time without talking about Yingzi's marriage, Shuisheng listened next to him, the more anxious he listened, the more anxious he listened, but he knew that he couldn't open his mouth to urge now.
