"Where did this couplet come from? The handwriting is pretty good!" Qiao Yue can barely be considered a half-literate person. Although she has no ability, she knows a little bit.

"Spring is everywhere, so this couplet is not bad either."

"Not bad! The second line is: Thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains are all shining brightly, and the horizontal line is: All things are renewed." Niu Dadan showed a smile on his face and said with emotion: "Wang Da Chong wrote it. He wrote several copies, and I just fell in love with this one.

"

"Written by Wang Chong?" Qiao Yue was stunned: "Is his handwriting so good?"

"It's very good, upright and good-looking!"

The couplets Wang Zhong wrote to everyone were all written in regular script, and the fonts were regular yet elegant.

These large characters are different from small regular characters. Those who can write small regular characters well may not be able to write large characters well. Looking at the flying and dancing brushwork and the strong and powerful skeleton, without a lot of hard practice, you will never be able to write such characters.

It's a pity that Qiao Yue is only a dabbler. After all, he is just an actor. If it were Ma Renli, he might still be able to see some clues.

Qiao Yue helped Niu Dada put up the couplets, but Qiao Yue did not stay. She said a few words to Niu Dada and then left. As they walked, they went to the inner courtyard by accident.

"Is anyone home?" Qiao Yue shouted at the top of her lungs as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"It's inside the house! The door is unlocked, come in by yourself!"

The sound came from the east wing. Qiao Yue walked to the south room of the east wing, opened the door and walked inside.

"It's Qiao Yue! What do you want from me?"

Qiao Yue closed the door behind her back: "I can't come to you if nothing happens!"

Qiao Yue pursed her lips, nodded and walked towards the kang with a smile, and gave Wang Zhong a wink.

"It's such a cold day, why did you come to the side room without waiting for the big kang in the main room?" Qiao Yue walked to the kang and sat on it with her buttocks. She immediately jumped up in shock and exclaimed:

"Oh, why is this kang still cold? You are not afraid of freezing."

Hearing this, Qiao Yue couldn't help but look up and down at the tall figure sitting cross-legged on the kang with his back to the window. She couldn't help biting her lower lip and said, "You, I think I care about you."

"I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not necessary. If you have this free time, you might as well pay more attention to Niu Daudao. He helps you a lot on weekdays. If it weren't for him, you might have been hungry this year."

Qiao Yue didn't take it seriously: "Brother Daring really takes good care of me..."

"Wang Zhong! Are you at home?"

Before Qiao Yue finished speaking, Ma Renli's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Here!" Wang called back.

Immediately, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer came from outside the door. Along with the sound of the door opening, there was also Ma Renli's voice: "Why can't you stay in the main house and come to the east wing?"

As soon as Ma Renli finished speaking, he saw Qiao Yue sitting by the kang.

Wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, he still has the same short, shoulder-length hair, which is smooth and smooth. He has obviously taken care of it every day. His face is clean and his eyebrows are picturesque. Compared with his youth, there is not much change. The red hair around his neck is still the same.

The scarf was originally given by Ma Renli.

"Qiao Yue?" Ma Renli was very surprised when he saw Qiao Yue: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Qiao Yue replied.

"That's not what I meant!" Ma Renli quickly explained.

"I came to Wang Zhong to ask for a couplet, what are you doing here?" Qiao Yue now kept a distance from Ma Renli, for fear that others would associate her with Ma Renli.

"I plan to go to the county town and ask Wang Zhong if he wants to go together!"

"Go, why don't you go!" Wang Zhong asked: "You go to Mrs. Jinhua's place to bring the cow back, and I'll go to the backyard to push the car out."

There is a backyard at the back of the courtyard, which used to be where the horse owners worked and the livestock sheds. The woodshed, pig pen, chicken pen and duck coop are all in the back. Now it is divided into two parts. The west part was originally used for chickens.

The duck pen house was allocated to the cow house. The east side is the woodshed, pig pen and cow shed. Because it is right behind Wang Zhong’s main house, it was allocated to Wang Zhong. There is a side road from the west of the main house.

You can go there.

Wang Zhong was about to go out, so Qiao Yue naturally couldn't stay any longer, but when she heard that the two of them were going to the county seat, Qiao Yue immediately became interested.

"Captain Wang, can you take me with you?" Qiao Yue said, "I also want to go to the county town to buy some things."

"No problem!" Before Wang Zhong could speak, Ma Renli agreed on Wang Zhong's behalf.

It’s true, it’s another licking dog.

Wang Zhong shook his head and said nothing. It was useless to say anything. Wang Zhong had already said what needed to be said before.

The next day, on the morning of the first day of the new year, just after breakfast, people came over one after another to wish Wang Zhong New Year. With the incident of the Homecoming Regiment, the construction of windmills and threshing machines, and the successful completion of the first and second stages of water conservancy irrigation and the siege of the city

, the winter wheat that the villagers have worked so hard to plant, no longer has to worry about irrigation in winter and spring. With accumulation time after time, Wang Zhong’s prestige in the hearts of the villagers is naturally getting higher and higher.

Especially in recent times, village chiefs and branch secretaries from ten miles and eight towns have come to visit Wang Zhong one after another, asking for advice and learning experience in water conservancy irrigation, and asking Wang Zhong to help build windmills and threshing machines.

In the hearts of the folks in Maixiang Village, Wang Zhong has become a figure like Zhou Yihu.

Wang Zhong was naturally happy to hear about this situation, otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

After all, the main mission given by the system is to change the fate of everyone in Maixiang Village as much as possible and avoid those regrettable tragedies.

Wang Zhong already had preliminary plans in mind, but if he wanted to realize these plans, the first step was to expand his reputation as much as possible, and it couldn't just be limited to Maixiang Village.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the matchmaker came to Wang Zhong happily and congratulated Wang Zhong.

"Aunt, it's not me who asked someone to marry me, so why are you congratulating me?" Wang Zhong gestured in the direction of Lao Ganbang: "The person you should congratulate is over there!"

"Aunt, sit in the room and drink hot water to warm your stomach first." Wang Zhong welcomed the person into the main room, sat on the kang, and poured a bowl of hot water.

Lao Ganbang grinned. Although he was a little embarrassed, he was more expectant: "Auntie, is there any news?"

That was something that my wife, Lao Ganbang, had never dared to think about in the past ten years.

The matchmaker took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you will definitely be satisfied with this this time."

Years ago, the matchmaker also introduced a girl to Lao Ganbang, and she agreed at first. But when Wang Zhong and Lao Ganbang came to see her, the girl was also pretty, only eighteen years old, just like a flower.

At that age, the girl's parents originally agreed, but when the girl saw that Lao Ganbang was older, not tall, and not good-looking, she was unhappy.

No matter what her parents said, the girl just refused to let go. When it comes to getting married, what matters is your willingness and my will. After all, the couple will still live together in the future. If they don't do it unwillingly, even if they get married, they will still live together in the future.

He didn't know how things would turn out, but Lao Ganbang didn't want to force the girl, let alone embarrass his parents, so he simply used the matchmaker to refuse the matter.

"Which girl is she from?" Lao Ganbang asked impatiently.

"She is the second girl from Han Laosi's family in Jixian Town. Her name is Han Chunmei. She is twenty-two years old this year. She has a decent appearance. She does laundry, cooking, tidying up the house, sewing and mending. She can also work in the fields.

Good player."

"How can such a good girl like me?" Lao Ganbang said without confidence.

"Auntie, if this girl is as good as you say, anyone who comes to her house to propose marriage will have to break down the threshold of her house." Wang Zhong said.

The matchmaker said: "Who says it's not the case? In the past, people might not really think highly of Lao Ganbang, but it's different now. Han Laosi has six children, two girls and four sons. His eldest son last year

They just got married, and now their second son and third son have reached the age of marriage. However, the fields were just divided into households last year. The fourth and fourth Hans have a large population, so there is not much surplus food in the family. Now their family is working for the second and third sons of his family.

I’m worried about the bride price.”

I have been a matchmaker for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen her in our village."

"Then let's find some time. Auntie will take Lao Ganbang to visit this girl at her home. Let's meet her first and then talk about it!"

"No problem, you can do it anytime!" the matchmaker assured, patting her chest.

"How about tomorrow?" Looking at Lao Ganbang's anxious look, Wang Zhong suggested.

"Sure! Then tomorrow, we'll go there early tomorrow morning."

The next day, when Lao Ganbang came back, the smile on his face was still there.

"Is it done?" Wang Zhong asked.

"It's done!" Lao Ganbang said happily.

"When is the date set?"

"The day we booked it was eighteen."

"So fast?" Wang Zhong was a little surprised. It was already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was only nine days before the eighteenth.

"Is it your future father-in-law who is anxious to find a wife for your two future brothers-in-law, afraid that you will change your mind and regret it?" Wang Zhong guessed.

Lao Ganbang smiled and did not defend himself.

Wang Zhong: "Have you told your second grandfather about this?"

Lao Ganbang shook his head and said: "Not yet, I'm going to talk to the second grandpa right now!"

The news that Lao Ganbang used ten liters of wheat as a betrothal gift that day spread throughout Maixiang Village in an instant, causing quite a sensation. The three monkeys were not full, and the three monkeys had always been on good terms with Lao Ganbang.

They came to Lao Ganbang one after another to confirm the news.

Everyone started to help Lao Ganbang arrange the marriage. Of course, Lao Ganbang didn't have the ability to arrange a banquet and arrange a big deal. Nowadays, every household is living a tight life. Although Lao Ganbang has some food in his hand, he only needs the betrothal gift.

Most of them were eaten, but there wasn't much left. Moreover, after getting married, his family would have one more mouth to eat. Fortunately, it wasn't long before the summer harvest. He changed the wheat at home to whole grains such as rice and sweet potatoes, which should be eaten by the summer harvest.
