On the 15th day of the Huangniu Village rushing to the market, the ground guard of the Yala Camp, in a dog butcher shop at the head of the market, spoke to Ah Jin who was about to marry a widow.His ability to speak is as good as his ability to eat dog meat, and he will not be satisfied all day long. "Ah Jin is in charge, you let me say it all. It's up to you whether you listen or not. What I'm suing you is clear. The matter is in front of you. If you don't want it, you can decide for yourself. You are not a child anymore.You know many things that others don't, such as calculating the abacus and returning ninety-nine to one, which is admirable.You are sensible, not drunk.You want to ask for a wife, this is your business.But I said, a woman's temper is too elusive.

We have seen many people who can manage accounts can't manage a wife.We also admit that there are many people who lead soldiers, manage generals, and make achievements, and they are arbitrary, and they are terrible when they are in front of women.Why are the jokes of the guerrilla masters of the patrol army known far and wide?Why do some people say that the magistrate is afraid of his wife and still uses it as a play?Why is Ajin, who is an upright person in Yalaying,..." It is said that some people are unworthy. The so-called Ajin people got tired of hearing it at this time, got up, and wanted to leave.

The dibao pulled Ajin across the table and did not let go.It is impossible to walk.Dibao has great strength and can fight against two Ah Jins. "Don't worry! You have to listen to my words before leaving! I am not afraid of people saying that I have selfish intentions, and I would like A Jin, a decent man from Yalaying, to be the nephew of the dibao. I don't want money, I don't want fame, I advise you Think about it for a day or two. Why are you so impatient? You can't finish listening to me, how can you get along with that woman for a long time in the future?" "My brother, let me go, I will listen to you!"

Dibao laughed. He looked at Ah Jin and smiled, laughing that Ah Jin was obsessed with women without thinking about it, and laughed at himself as an old friend who had to finish talking.Seeing Ah Jin begging for mercy, he felt amused.Whether it was at this time or before, Di Bao had completely good intentions for A Jinyuan. Except for his mouth, Dibao was called a good person by everyone in the Yala camp.Even if he talks a lot and loves to talk, he is still not considered a bad person in front of many people!Talkative, innocuous in himself.If a land protector doesn't like to talk, he goes to eat, drink and sit around all day long, as if he is dumb, where can he find the identity of a land protector?The duty of a magistrate magistrate can be said to be used exclusively to go to the countryside in a sedan chair, and put his 148-jin solid body under the sweat of the three bearers, and there is not much use for it.A dibao who is not good at talking is not a dibao.

At this time, Dabao saw that Ajin was sitting down again. He pulled Ajin's right hand, picked up the knife on the table, and cut it off. After cutting it, he put it in his mouth. (It was dog meat!) He chewed the fat dog meat, made a chewing sound from his mouth, closed and opened his eyes a little, and talked about Ah Jin's marriage again. ………… All in all, he wanted Ajin to think about it for another day.It was only one day, and since he could not say that he disagreed with this matter, he said that he should think about it for a while, as if there was a great relationship between this day and the "revolution" tomorrow, which would change everything in the world.This marriage, Ajin, was originally going to be settled tonight, and the bundle of money notes in his pocket was to be used as a betrothal gift.This countryman is thirty-three years old this year, and he is tired of handling banknotes and foreign money.A pair of hands that are accustomed to counting money, now deliberately want to change tricks, what an irrational desire!But he couldn't bear to use his status as an old friend to persuade him again and again, and what he said was just a matter of one day. He only thought about it for a day, and it was up to him whether he wanted to.

In order to convince the Dibao—and it seemed that he could only get away because of the convincing of the Dibao, Steward Ajin raised his glass, drank a glass of white wine, and made a curse that day, saying that he would never go to the matchmaker’s house today, and would definitely go back. Everyone considers, absolutely must consider the pros and cons.After swearing a curse, the land security side got a guarantee, and in the end it was close to release and the steward Ajin was let go. A Jin walked around the field, and there were especially many Miao women in the field today.There is a youthful demeanor, a youthful voice, and a youthful scent everywhere, so Ah Jin can't forget the widow.Wupo women are demons and gods, more intoxicating than wine, and it is impossible not to admit it.This steward looked at the woman who married into the door, she was the strongest woman in the Wupo tribe with the fairest skin!

In many other big places, rich people can do many things as usual, and money always has a place to spend.Ah Jin is a Hmong man who grew up in the Miao land, so he doesn't understand the affairs of these city people.He only wanted an opportunity to devote his energies to a woman, as an ordinary man would hope.Exquisite items are only for the rich, and this saying is true wherever money is used in the world.The woman's dowry was worth five oxen, and anyone who could afford it was eligible to be a husband, so Manager A Jin had every reason to want to marry this woman. The woman is a widow, famous for her beauty.Probably because of her beauty, many people felt dissatisfied. Among the many men who had no way of getting close to this woman, there were rumors that only men would have.

The dibao persuaded Ah Jin not because he had a niece who fell in love with Ah Jin, nor did he fall in love with the woman himself. This meant that he was forgiven by the manager A Jin.Now that he has forgiven his old friend, it is really inconvenient for Ah Jin to go to the matchmaker's house today. Knowing that Ah Jin will soon be the new husband of that beautiful woman, it is a great man.These people also came to the Huangniuzhai field to gather today. When they saw A Jin, they asked when they could have wine.This upright countryman was amused in his heart, and said that it would be soon, within a month. When he said this, Manager Ajin was very happy.Because according to the rules, while talking about eating wine, it means giving gifts to congratulate.Now it is October, October is Xiaoyangchun, and the mountain peaches are also blooming. It is a good season for playing suona everywhere to meet relatives!

Speaking of this woman, Manager A Jin seemed to have pinched the white flesh on the woman's leg, or pressed it against the woman's face, feeling unspeakably excited.Although his body is spinning around in the arena, his heart is on the side of the matchmaker.On the other side, they are also waiting for Ah Jin to make a decision. Although he swore a small curse and said that he decided to watch it one day, but he couldn't do it after all. After he arrived, he went to the matchmaker's house again.When I got to the dog meat stand at the end of the street, I met a kind-hearted land security guard who blocked the way with his hand spread out.

"Ajin is in charge, this is your business, I don't have to take care of it. But you promised me to think about it for a day!" It turned out that the Dibao was waiting there.Ah Jin didn't even listen to much, so he turned around and left. The Dibao was waiting at the intersection of the matchmaker's house, ready to stop Ah Jin.This concern is really deep.Ah Jin knew what this meant, so he had no choice but to turn around quickly. When he turned his head, he walked around this place and went to the place where the cattle and sheep were sold, watching others do the cattle and sheep business.Anyone who knew A Jin in charge came to ask him if he wanted cattle or sheep.He just wants people.

His plan was to exchange money worth five scalpers for one person.Seeing that other people's cattle and sheep have all been traded, I feel sad, and unconsciously walk to the matchmaker's house again.He heard the voice of the ground guard talking to others from a long distance away, and knew that he was still guarding there like a dog guarding the door, so he turned his head the second time. The third time I passed by the dibao, but was dragged by another person to speak, so I was seen by the dibao and could not enter the matchmaker's house. The fourth time he only got worried, another acquaintance came and said that Dibao was still sitting by the dog meat stall, chatting with people.Ah Jin is really embarrassed to take risks in the past. Dibao's kindness was indeed planned for Ah Jin.He didn't want to make a fuss about it, nor did he want to tear Yuanyang apart.It is not easy to understand why Ah Jin must not let the money in his pocket be sent to the matchmaker, but he has a reason. Dibao usually doesn't have much of a nosy temper, but today he is particularly concerned about Ah Jin's marriage.Why?Because the woman is so beautiful, it is Kefu in the photo book. In order to avoid this trouble, he decided to let the dibao go home during the night cooking, and then go to the matchmaker's house to pay the money. Manager A Jin accidentally walked into the casino to see the excitement.After entering the casino, when we came out, it was already night.At this time Baoying went home anyway to eat red stewed pig's feet, but Ah Jin's pockets were empty and all his money had been lost, it seemed that there was no need to go to the matchmaker's house anymore. A few days later, Yalaying, an upright and caring land security guard, met the matchmaker for Ah Jin on the road, and asked what happened to the steward Ah Jin's marriage.The matchmaker said that Manager Ah Jin couldn't afford the money, and the woman had already been taken away by a distant silk merchant.Seeing the dibao with a large bundle of banknotes in Ah Jin's pocket with his own eyes, he thought that his good friend Ah Jin had believed his advice and felt that a beautiful woman could not be a wife, so he gave up the idea of ​​getting married, and immediately brought a big Hulu Shaojiu went to Huangniuzhai to see the steward Ajin, and congratulated his old friend on his decision.
