C17 A Good Match Between Two People

Thank you, Brother Shan, but there's no need. I will think of a way myself. While they were talking, Xiao Yiming and Luo Mannmann had already walked away.

There were layers upon layers of mountains, but there was only a single road, but there were many forked paths.

Xiao Yiming led the way, occasionally turning his head to look at Luo Mannmann, afraid that she would lose her way.

The trees were verdant, the fragrance of flowers assaulted the nostrils, and the scenery was beautiful. It was early summer, and although the weather was not very hot, after walking for a while, they began to sweat profusely.

However, what made Luo Mannmann most upset was that other than picking some wild dates, fruits, and vegetables, she didn't see any other precious plants. Occasionally, she would see a fat rabbit or two running past her, but unfortunately, she didn't know how to hunt them.

Amidst the chaos in the wind... He raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance. Perhaps, he might gain something from going further in the future.

Xiao Yiming also expected this outcome. He walked to the middle of the mountain, locked onto a big tree, and said to Luo Mannmann, "Mannmann, be careful. Don't look for more. If there were any rare plants, they would have been harvested long ago."

She wasn't lying, but she was a bit unwilling to give up. If this path didn't work out, then she would have to think of another way.

Seeing that she did not say anything, Xiao Yiming continued: "Wifey, wait for me to cut down a tree. Let's go home early, I'll make some Wood products and we'll sell them on the streets. It doesn't matter how much I sell them."

"That's the only way."

Xiao Yiming spat on his hand before he picked up the axe and started chopping at the bottom of the tree. The axe was chipped one by one until it left a deep mark. Then, he used his big hands to push down the tree.

A large tree fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Wife, let's go back."

"What a pity, I did not gain anything." Luo Mannmann bit a sour date in her mouth. The taste of the fruit was quite good.

"Sorry, daughter-in-law, I was useless and caused you to worry." Xiao Yiming glanced at Luo Mannmann's expression as he spoke. Luo Mannmann understood what he meant and tried to cheer him up, "What are you talking about? Why are you so useless after so much effort?"

Xiao Yiming pursed his lips and looked gloomy. Luo Mannmann hurriedly comforted him, "The difficulties are temporary. We have hands and feet. We have to work hard. Our days will be better." She still wanted to say, "Does she still have a brain?" He just didn't show it yet.

"My wife, thank you for forgiving me like this. I just feel that I have implicated you."

"What's the big deal? A family doesn't have two words to say to each other. Alright, let's go back. We'll do the woodwork together."

When they got home, the sun was hanging high in the sky. The two of them walked back along the road, and not to mention some strange beasts and precious medicinal herbs, they didn't even see a shadow of a single thing. When they went down the mountain, they met even more villagers.

When the two of them returned to the Xiao Family small courtyard, they saw Aunt Xiao drying clothes in the courtyard. They saw Xiao Yiming coming back with a big tree, and Luo Mannmann's body was covered in mud, so she must have known that they had gone up the mountain without any gains.

"Yiming, Mannmann, you're back. Mom made some steamed buns and porridge this morning. It's still warm at the moment. You guys should go eat. You must be hungry."

Xiao Yiming nodded and put down the tree in the front yard. He and Luo Mannmann went inside to eat whatever they wanted and then went back to work.

First, Xiao Yiming cut the tree into a few pieces. Then, he peeled the tree cleanly and used a saw to saw the pieces of the model.

Luo Mannmann took the knife and said, "Let me help." She didn't know how to make these gadgets. She would grind the edges, she reckoned.

"Wife, stop …" Before Xiao Yiming could finish his words, he saw Luo Mannmann accidentally cut the back of her hand and blood immediately seeped into the surface. She felt a bit of pain, she didn't expect the knife to be so sharp.

"Wifey, you're bleeding. Just sit here and watch. What kind of knife did the young lady use? Are you hurt now?"

Xiao Yiming complained. At this time, his heart was already in pain. He immediately raised her small hand, blew on it and took some ashes to stop the bleeding.

"I'm fine." Luo Mannmann stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. She originally wanted to help, but now she was making things difficult for him.

At this moment, she saw Xiao Yiming waving his knife around as he busied himself with the pieces of wood, causing her to fall into deep thought.

How could he get rich quickly?

Raising pigs and ducks seemed like a good way to earn money, but it would take time to get a fish pond or vegetable shed, but it would take too long.

Besides, she was from the architectural faculty, so she wasn't very good at farming.

Or could she go to the provincial capital and see if she could gain some inspiration by not listening, or perhaps she could go to the provincial capital to work for a month and earn some money?

Luo Mannmann thought of this and once again rejected it wholeheartedly. To think that a top student like her would be worried about a few taels of silver. What a headache.

At this time, the news came from the village spread. The Village Chief's daughter, Du Kun, had already chosen a date for her wedding. She was to hold a banquet on the 8th of the month, and it would be the day after tomorrow.

Over the past two days, the matter of the Village Head marrying his daughter had been on everyone's lips, just like Baidu's popular words.

Lady Dujuan sure has a good life. She married the town's Qian Family. I've heard that there are rich people who are rich, and the Qian Family is the property of a merchant family. Their family won't be able to spend an entire few lifetimes. Marrying her would be the life of a happy man.

This was really enviable, especially for Auntie Qiu, who was envious, jealous, and envious to the point that she seemed to be envious of something.

Qiu Ju's house didn't have many fields, and didn't have much farm work to do, so she didn't need Qiu Ju's help. At this moment, she was holding a clay jar, pickling the vegetables that had been washed and cut.

The door creaked. It was Auntie Qiu. As soon as she entered the house, her face darkened. She had just received the village chief's happy invitation.

The daughter of the village chief was getting married, and it was a very happy occasion. Moreover, she was marrying into a merchant's family in the town, so she was rich.

I heard the betrothal gift was rich? 100 taels of silver, 200 kilograms of food, 20 kilograms of pork, and 10 pieces of cloth. In short, this was the wealthiest betrothal gift in the history of Nanshan Village, it did not startle anyone, and Auntie Qiu was jealous, why did her daughter not have this kind of fortune?

The girls in the village who hadn't married yet all idolized the cuckoo, hoping to marry into such a rich family in the future.

Qian Family had decided to hold two banquets, one at the men's house, and one at the woman's side. He invited all of the villagers to the banquets.

Auntie Qiu got even angrier when she thought about how her daughter was always so disappointing. She scolded Qiu Ju loudly, "Every day, you chop pickled vegetables in your house. You don't have to worry about your life anymore. You are no longer young, you don't have to worry about yourself anymore."

Qiu Ju closed the lid of the jar and pouted, saying indifferently, "Anyway, you've made such a ruckus that your reputation is long gone. It's fine if you don't marry anyone in this life, but I'll be filial to you at home."

Auntie Qiu retorted angrily, "I'm helping you seek justice, but you're the one who's wrong, don't say such dismal words, how can a girl not get married? You're still thinking about Xiao Yiming, it really pisses me off, when can I grow a snack, learn more from Miss Du Xing, she's only one year younger than you, how good is getting married?"

"That's because they have a capable father." Qiu Ju muttered softly. If she couldn't get married, she would get married and let nature take its course.

"You only know how to talk back to your mother." Auntie Qiu's ears were still very sensitive. She didn't forget to tell him about it again after hearing his words.

When the eighth day of the new year arrived, the village chief invited the entire village to his house for a wedding banquet. There were also several hundred people in the village.

At first, Xiao Family didn't want to go, but it was useless against the village chief's enthusiasm. In Aunt Xiao's heart, it was clear as day that drinking wedding wine was fake and showing off was real. She still wanted to embroider some flowers to earn some money, but she was not in the mood to join in on the fun.

"Yiming, why don't you go have some wedding wine with Mannmann? Mom isn't going." Aunt Xiao took out a red paper packet from her pocket. She reckoned that there was a small amount of silver inside, "This is for Village Head's Home, take it."

When Xiao Yiming and Luo Mannmann came to Village Head's Home, the scene could be described as a sea of people. The spacious courtyard was already filled to the brim with people, and among them, there was no lack of women chattering.

"I'm so envious, it's just a Village Head's Home, how can he have such a grand atmosphere?" women said in envy.

"I'm so envious of the Village Head's Home. My son married a village flower from another village, and his daughter married into a town. She really enjoys life." The villagers started whispering to each other, discussing amongst themselves.

"The same person doesn't have the same life. If you were to say that Lady cuckoo is really beautiful, then the most important thing is that I have my own conditions." A few of third aunt's six wives were discussing in a group, unable to stop their tempo.

It was said that in a few days, at the beginning of the 12th day, the man would come to the village with eight large palanquins to escort the bride. Compared to the momentum behind the wedding, today's banquet was just a small matter.

Everyone took out the prepared red packets from their pockets one by one. The villagers had some connections that were thicker than others, and those like Xiao Yiming were thinner.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yiming had some thoughts in his mind. It was too simple for him to get married, he didn't even give his wife a proper wedding, and he already … He swore that he would treat his wife even better.

"Thank you everyone, thank you for coming to enjoy the day, my fellow villagers. We'll have to eat and drink later …" The village chief was dressed spiritually today, his face flushed red from the contrast of his maroon robe.

The village chief had set up a table in front of the courtyard. On the table, there was a wooden box wrapped in red cloth. Naturally, this was the red bag box that was used to hold the villagers.

The cuckoo was dressed in festive attire to entertain the villagers. Today, her red dress was extremely dazzling. Coupled with her outstanding figure, her waist was even more slender like a willow branch.

There was a smile on his snow-white face as he said, "Everyone, thank you for giving the cuckoo some face and coming to drink your wedding wine. Today is my wedding day, so I'll let my fellow villagers eat and drink as they please."
