Chapter 254: life is much better
Mrs. Wang also sighed, sat down and said: "Every elder in the family is in charge, and I feel sorry for those two children."
"When Nanjun grows up and can take care of himself, you will look after Qiao Yun. There are no elders in his family, so we can't ignore it. After all, Qiao Xiucai was once Chi's mentor."
Qiao Gu drooped his eyelids and picked up the bowl to take a sip of the wine. He secretly glanced at the egg that Mrs. Wang hid under the wotou, pursed his lips, and finally said nothing.
Qiao Chi wasted his brain on studying, so he should eat better.
It's just that the two sons are still young, so it's not good to be partial after all.
"That's natural, it won't be too late next year. It's just that I look at that Nanjun, he's more troublesome than an adult at this moment!"
Qiao Yun will only be sixteen years old next year, so it's not difficult to find an honest family.
"Furthermore, she is still a child. Qiao Yun is not willing to leave her behind and marry alone."
"Twelve years old is not too young, the defense between men and women is always..."
Before Wang could finish speaking, Qiao Gu stopped him.
"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the kids?"
Qiao Gu knew that it was wrong for Qiao Yun and Nan Jun to live like this, but what could be done?
Wang secretly glanced at her two sons, and seeing that they didn't respond, she didn't dare to mention this matter again.
Qiao Gu also took advantage of the situation to look at his two sons, thinking that Qiao Chi would stay in the town to teach in the future, and after the two sons got married, there would be only the old couple left in the family, so an idea came to his mind.
She also watched the child of Nanju grow up. In terms of appearance, all the women in Qiaojia Village combined are not as good as her. Now that child is much more sensible. If they can marry their own son to her, then they will be old Wouldn't the couple have a companion in the future?
Thinking like this, Qiao Gu said: "Brother Yu, Brother Yan, you guys go to your elder brother Qiao Yun's house tomorrow to see if the rice in his house has been threshed."
"Um."
The two sons obediently responded, but Mrs. Wang looked at Qiao Gu in puzzlement.
Qiao Gu just ate with her head down, pretending not to see Wang's question, until she lay down on the kang at night and the two children fell asleep, then she said what she was thinking.
Naturally, Mrs. Wang is also willing, and he is satisfied with Nanjun's child. If his son doesn't have to marry far away, that would be a great thing.
In fact, the Wang family favored Nanjun, and his looks were secondary. He was mainly satisfied with the cleanliness of Nanjun's house, and his son would be able to take charge of the house after marriage, without the need for parents-in-law to serve.
In the past ten years, Mrs. Wang had had enough of serving others. It was only when her father-in-law passed away the year before last that Mrs. Wang finally stood up and became the head of the family.
The days of being overwhelmed by others are hard, and how can Wang's two sons be willing to suffer through the hardships he has suffered?
Thinking in this way, Wang also acquiesced to Qiao Gu's practice of letting his two sons get close to Qiao Yun, no matter which one married Nanjun, it would be fine.
Nan Jun's ability made life at home a lot easier, especially for Qiao Yun.
The work of chopping firewood and carrying water at home is done by Nanjun, and there is no need to go to the field in winter, so Qiao Yun only needs to wash clothes and cook at home. Take it out and do needlework.
Nan Jun also took the time to clean up the West House. In order to avoid Qiao Yun arguing to live in the West House in the future, the first thing Nan Jun did was to smash the Kang of the West House and go to the carpenter's shop in the town to order a carpenter. Set of tables and chairs and a few bookshelves, turned into a study.
Because Qiao Xiucai taught Nan Jun and Qiao Yun to read and write when they were young, Qiao Yun didn't suspect that Nan Jun liked reading.
Nan Jun would occasionally draw a few simple embroidery patterns for Qiao Yun, which made Qiao Yun very happy, and only clamored for Nan Jun to go to the scholar examination.
"But it's not good for me to hunt and farm like this, and be with you every day?"
Nan Jun didn't intend to go into an official career in this life, and she was content to live such an idyllic life with Qiao Yun.
"It's good, but doesn't this humiliate your ability?"
Qiao Yun is not an idiot either, the wisdom in Nan Jun's bones cannot be concealed, if only Nan Jun is allowed to be a farmer with him, it would be a waste of talent.
"What ability do I have?" Nan Jun chuckled, looked at Qiao Yun and said seriously, "It is my ability to make you happy."
Qiao Yun's ears turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
The fact that Nanjun can hunt has spread throughout Qiao's village. The uncles in the village are getting closer to Qiao Yun, and Qiao Yun knows what they mean.
Those people who intend to get close to Qiao Yun have sons who are the same size as Nan Jun, and even the two sons of the village chief's family come to look for him every day.
It is false to look for him, but it is true to come to see Nanjun.
Nan Jun is good-looking, gentle and capable. Whose elders don't want their son to marry such a woman.
It's just that if she is married, he will be useless, right?
Seeing Qiao Yun suddenly lowered his eyes and remained silent, Nan Jun couldn't help but leaned over, picked up a candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am still incapable of making Yun'er unhappy again." .”
Since that time, every time Nan Jun went to the town, he would bring back a bag of candied fruit for Qiao Yun. The most important thing at home now is candied fruit.
It's just that Qiao Yun has been reluctant to eat it, and counts how many he eats every day.
"How can you be so incapable?"
Qiao Yun answered angrily. I don't know if it's because Nan Jun has been practicing martial arts for half a year or eating too much meat, but she has grown faster as far as the naked eye can see, and now she is as tall as Qiao Yun.
With such an upright figure and such a handsome face, all the men in this world would probably want to get close to her, but who would say that she is incapable?
"Regardless of ability or not, my heart for Yun'er is the same."
Nan Jun looked into Qiao Yun's eyes and said seriously, Qiao Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned his face away, but the tips of his ears were stained with a blush.
Qiao Yun has long been unwilling to correct her and asked her to call his brother. Her "Yun'er" always makes his heart tremble. He likes her calling him like that.
"It's snowing outside, so don't go up the mountain tomorrow."
Qiao Yun turned his face to the side, just in time to see that the ground was white, and the whole yard seemed to be covered with a quilt, it was extremely clean!
"It's a good time to hunt when the snow falls. If you follow the footprints, you will definitely gain a lot."
Nan Jun planned to use the winter to hunt more things and save some money. After the mangoes were planted, she might run out of time.
Although the life at home is much better, it is far from enough for Nan Jun. She wants Qiao Yun to live a life of rich clothes and fine food, but she can't give out too much money at once, so as not to arouse suspicion. It can only rely on hunting.
