Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Chu Xujin came to Chu Xuhua's house with a jug of beer in one hand and a large plate in the other. There were some fried peanuts, some small cakes, and some walnuts on the plate.

"Brother, come out and have a drink."

"Here we come." In the room, Chu Xuhua had just taken a shower and was about to be tender with Shen Ruyue. Hearing Chu Xujin's voice, he responded, then hugged Shen Ruyue and kissed him, "I'll go out and have a look, you sleep first."

Shen Ruyue nodded, "You stay with Xu Jin well, don't be in a hurry to come back."

"Okay." Chu Xuhua took a piece of clothing casually, and walked out while wearing it.

Chu Xujin put the things on the stone table in the yard, then poured wine for the two of them, put down the wine jar, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, sat down and waited for Chu Xuhua.

Chu Xuhua came out and sat across from Chu Xujin, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Chu Xujin handed the wine glass to Chu Xuhua, "It's been a long time since I had a good chat with my brother, the moonlight is beautiful today, I want to invite my brother for a drink."

Chu Xuhua took the wine glass and clinked it with Chu Xujin, drank the wine, "Then let's have a good chat tonight, brother."

"good."

Chu Xuhua observed his third younger brother and asked tentatively, "Is it because you are getting married and you are nervous?"

Chu Xujin nodded, "A little bit, but more excited."

The thought of Li Hua marrying him made him very excited, and last night he was even more excited. Before, he would not have dared to look at such a girl, but now he can marry her back home...

Chu Xuhua poured wine, "Brother understands you."

Chu Xujin quickly drank the wine to calm himself down, "Brother, how is business doing recently?"

Chu Xuhua said, "It's pretty good. It's rising steadily. I plan to go to Wancheng in a few days."

Chu Qingzhi had already told Chu Xuhua what Zhuang Ziqian had said to her, and Chu Xuhua decided to go to Wancheng after Li Tingzhao took down the Lin family.

According to Li Tingzhao's methods, the Lin family could not survive for half a month.

Chu Xujin said, "If it is possible, I will accompany you there and learn a lot."

Chu Xuhua nodded, "Okay."

After a few glasses of wine, Chu Xujin talked about the yamen, "Brother, recently there is a vacancy in the yamen, and I want to fight for it."

Chu Xuhua raised his hands in agreement, "You have been working in the Yamen for more than half a year, it's time for you to be promoted."

Of course Chu Xujin thought so too, but things were not that easy, "The county magistrate's nephew, the Bai family also want this position, I will fight with them, is there any hope?"

Chu Xuhua said, "Why did you retreat before you even fought?"

"I'm not giving up." Chu Xujin said, "Brother, you don't know that the county government office is full of related households, and even the gatekeepers of the government office are related to people in the county government office. I don't have much advantage."

Chu Xuhua is not just a farm boy now, he understood Chu Xujin's meaning as soon as he heard it, and asked after a pause, "What do you need to compete for this position?"

Chu Xujin said, "It's not complicated at all, just submit a statement of appointment to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will approve it."

"Have you handed in your employment statement?"

"Not yet, the day after tomorrow is the day of submission, I'm still writing."

"Don't have any worries, first hand in the job statement. You have made so many contributions in the past six months. As long as the county magistrate is fair, I believe this position must be yours."

"Um."

The two brothers chatted a lot, and they chatted for an hour before going back to sleep.

...

Early in the morning, Grandpa Chu went to invite the old man, the village chief, the matchmaker, and some prestigious elders to his home to discuss the matter of proposing marriage to Ge Lihua.

Ge Lihua had no relatives and no reason, and there happened to be a widowed mother-in-law in the village, whose maiden name was Ge, so she recognized Ge Lihua as her niece, and now Ge Lihua was at her house, and he would go to her house to propose marriage soon, so that the whole etiquette would be considered.

After the discussion, the group set off for Granny Ge's house.

Those who went were four elders, Chu Xujin, two strong young men from the village who carried the dowry, and the elder who had been invited to discuss marriage proposals, Chu matchmaker. The others did not go, which was against the rules.

As soon as they went out, they were surrounded by the children of the village, and the adults stood at the gate of their own yard to watch, so as not to collide.

Chu Junbao bouncingly followed beside Chu Xujin, "Brother Xujin, you yelled at night that you were getting married, is that true?"

Chu Xujin looked at the team proposing marriage, and asked, "Isn't it obvious enough?"

Chu Junbao laughed loudly, "Obviously, I just want to make sure."

Chu Xujin joked, "You want to determine when I will get married, and you have a good feast?"

This made everyone amused.

Chu Junbao smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said, "Don't you want to marry Sister Li Hua? Sister Li Hua is so beautiful, do you know how many people in the village like her?"

Chu Xujin slapped Chu Junbao's head, "Don't talk nonsense, your sister Li Hua is going to marry me soon."

Chu Junbao dodged, "Then you won't let us have dinner?"

"Don't worry, when I get married, I will definitely make a big deal and let you eat enough, okay?"

"That's a good thing, I like to eat your banquet the most."

"Human kid is big!"

Granny Ger's home is not far away, and she will arrive soon.

Some relatives came to Granny Ge's house, and some mothers-in-law from the village also came. It was very lively.

With Matchmaker Chu, an experienced matchmaker, the marriage proposal process went smoothly, and the wedding date was set on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

After setting the date of marriage, Chu Xujin gave Ge Lihua the token of love that he had prepared for a long time, a valuable red agate bracelet.

The bracelet has the meaning of holding your hand and growing old together.

Ge Lihua put the bracelet on his wrist directly, and his fair and beautiful wrist was even more beautiful against the backdrop of the bracelet, "Xu Jin, thank you."

Chu Xujin shook Ge Lihua's hand, "You look really good in it."

"Then I will wear it from now on."

"good."

...

After the marriage proposal was settled, Chu Xujin rushed to the county government office.

Chu Qingzhi was going to the county government to buy land to build brick kilns, pig farms, and cattle farms, and went with Chu Xujin.

The wounded soldier and the brick-burning master had already arrived in Chu's Village, and they were very active. Chu Qingzhi asked them to sit in the square outside the workshop, brought them some food, and asked them to wait until the land matters were settled before construction could begin.

On the way, Chu Xujin talked to Chu Qingzhi about his promotion.

Of course Chu Qingzhi expressed her support, "Do you need me to help you?"

There is no one who does not want to take a shortcut, but Chu Xujin thought about it but declined, "I will try first, if I can fight for it, I will fight for it myself, if not, I will ask Fifth Sister to help."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Okay."

The two came to the county government office together, and the master in charge also happened to arrive.

Chu Xujin saluted, "My lord."

The principal, a very elegant middle-aged man with a goatee, glanced at the two of them, and returned the gift, "Master Official, Miss Chu."
