A Small Farmer Girl 's Story of Making a Fortune by Farming

88

Shen Yao and Si Xuanzhi's marriage was finally settled.

　　As a time traveler, I know that a girl's development is not complete until she is eighteen years old.

　　So the engagement was made, but the wedding date was set for four years later. By that time, Shen Yao was already nineteen and old enough to get married.

　　"Third Grandma, congratulations! Those two kids have been a perfect match since they were young. Look, they are indeed a pair!"

　　"Third Madam is so lucky. Hongmei is the wife of a scholar, and Yaoyao will also be the wife of a scholar in the future. In our Anyang County, Third Madam is probably the only one who is so vain."

　　Mrs. Wu held up her wine glass, listened to the women's flattery, and smiled from ear to ear.

　　Liu Quan's wife toasted to Xu and joked, "In the future, Yaoyao will not only be the wife of a scholar, but also the wife of a number one scholar. Come, mother-in-law of the number one scholar, I'll toast you a glass."

　　Xu clinked glasses with a smile, feeling relieved.

　　Her daughter's marriage was finally settled, which relieved her of a big worry. If her daughter had been dragging it out, she would have been really worried.

　　As for the men, they were all drunk and staggering, their faces flushed.

　　The third elder brother Shen hooked his arm around Shen Chunsheng's shoulders and said to his cousin, "Brother Chanzi, you don't know that my second brother said that even if the boy from the Si family begged him to be his son-in-law, he wouldn't want him. As a result, when the matchmaker came to propose marriage, my mother hadn't agreed to it yet. My second brother met Xuanzhi on the road and called him uncle, which made him so happy that he didn't know what to do. When he got home, he kept praising the boy, saying that he was sensible, polite, and good at studying."

　　After saying that, Shen Lao San gulped the wine in the glass and clicked his tongue a few times.

　　"What's the matter? Chunsheng is happy, but you are not happy too! I don't know who it was yesterday, but he kept calling me nephew-in-law. Yaoyao hasn't even married yet, but you called him that first."

　　At this point, Shen Laosan became sad again: "Yaoyao married nearby, living in the same village, so she can see her parents anytime when she misses them. As for me, I don't know where Tiantian will marry in the future, or whether she will marry far away. Wuwuwu, Tiantian, my Tiantian..."

　　"The third brother has drunk too much. Chunsheng, please help him into the house." Old Man Shen snatched the wine glass from the third brother Shen and stopped him from drinking.

　　Because it was an engagement banquet, Si Xuanzhi was also sitting at the table. But everyone at the table was drunk, and Si Xuanzhi didn't know how to drink. Shen Yao was afraid that he would be forced to drink, so he asked Shen Yannian to find an excuse to call him out.

　　The two were already engaged, so there was no so-called gender distinction, and the elders did not stop them.

　　The village pond originally didn't have lotus roots planted in it, but once Si Xuanzhi wrote in a letter that the pond was full of bright pink lotus flowers and the blue waves were extremely beautiful. Shen Yao then bought lotus roots with buds and threw them into the pond.

　　After two years, several lotus roots have grown into a green mass.

　　The lotus flowers are in full bloom now, and the weeping willows by the pond are swaying, which is really beautiful.
