Chapter 679

During the busy farming season, no family has few chores, and besides, Sujiatun, where Mu Xueli lives, hasn't divided the land among households yet.

So after the three of them divided the ginseng, Mu Xueli took half a sack of ginseng and rode his horse home.

Mu Xueqing even tied two fish with hemp rope and hung them on Mu Xueli's saddle.

After Mu Xueli left, Wang Li sat for a while, mainly to talk to Wang An about the blind date arranged by his family.

For these four days, Wang Li had been going into the mountains to dig ginseng with Wang An, so he hadn't found time for the blind date, and now it was time to get busy farming, so it might be delayed for a few more days.

However, the woman's side already knew about Wang Li's disfigurement, so the matchmaker said the other side had changed their mind.

Of course, this change of mind didn't mean they disagreed with the marriage, but that they had increased the bride price.

And Wang Dazhu and his wife's intention was that it didn't matter if the bride price was increased, as long as the marriage could happen.

Actually, in this era, although marriage freedom is advocated, it's not really like that in the countryside.

Perhaps over ninety percent of marriages are introduced by matchmakers.

Before the man and woman meet, the matchmaker has already informed both sides of their family situations.

Of course, besides this, the families of both the man and woman will also try every possible way to find out the other side's background.

Just like the time Wang An went to the county seat after being reborn and ran into Mu Xueqing and her mother, Liu Ruxin was taking Mu Xueqing to the county seat to find out about Zheng Fei.

And the "blind date" thing, accurately speaking, is already the final step.

Because as long as the man and woman meet simply, and they are mutually attracted, or rather, as long as they don't find each other awkward, then basically the matter is settled.

As for dating, it doesn't exist at all.

Normally, the bride price is thirty or fifty, at most eighty or a hundred yuan.

Of course, the 600 yuan bride price given by Zheng Fei's family to Mu Xueqing's family is extremely rare.

After listening to Wang Li's account, Wang An pondered and said:

"What do you think yourself?"

Wang Li said gloomily:

"My meaning is to just forget it, no need to have a blind date anymore, let this matter just fall through, it's easier."

Hearing Wang Li's words, Wang An knew that Wang Li's mindset had a problem, or rather, his thinking had a problem.

After all, the blind date was agreed upon, and now it's delayed because of Wang Li's reasons. Maybe the woman wanting to raise the bride price is just dissatisfaction with Wang Li's behavior.

Wang An thought for a moment and said: "I feel you are being too impulsive. Just go to the blind date first. If you feel it's right, then let them raise it a bit; it's not like we're short on that bit of money. If you feel it's not working, then we'll talk."

Wang An vaguely remembered that in his past life, Wang Li's blind date was successful the first time, and there were no hitches.

And Wang An had also seen Wang Li's wife; although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she wasn't ugly at all, and she looked quite pleasing to the eye.

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li thought for a moment and then said:

"Fourth Brother, when the time comes for the blind date, can you take the time to go with me?" Wang An was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Sure, I'll go with you then."

Actually, the reason Wang An was stunned was because blind dates are usually led by the matchmaker, and the man is accompanied by an elder, which is the proper way. There really isn't a case of brothers tagging along.

Mainly because the two sides haven't met yet, and they are afraid of messing up the actual blind date.

Seeing Wang An agree, Wang Li clearly let out a long sigh of relief, and then said to Wang An with a relaxed face:

"Then it's settled, Fourth Brother, I'm going back."

As he spoke, Wang Li got off the kang and went home.

After Wang Li left, Wang An took out the silk cloth, took 2 complete 3-leaf plants and 4 defective 2-leaf plants, greeted Mu Xueqing, and rode his big stallion toward the county seat.

It must be said that when riding into the mountains, the big stallion is indeed not as good as the Oroqen horse.

But when traveling on main roads like this, whether it's speed or comfort, the big stallion, this kind of warhorse, is the most awesome one.

This trip to the county seat, Wang An's main purpose is to get medicine for the golden eagle chick and the eagle chick, which is the spirit-opening powder.

Because just the day before yesterday, one of the eagle chicks in the eagle eggs hatched.

But awkwardly, the first thing this eagle chick saw after hatching wasn't Wang An, but a hen! Fortunately, the hen's intelligence wasn't high enough—or accurately, it was that maternal instinct.

So although the hen was very suspicious of the eagle chick, its natural enemy, it didn't kick the eagle chick out of the nest.

Of course, Wang An had already taken the eagle chick out and raised it separately like the golden eagle chick.

But for the spirit-opening powder, the speed must be increased, because according to what was said on the silk cloth, the earlier the spirit-opening, the better.

Otherwise, both the golden eagle and the eagle will have no spirituality and become ordinary.

Besides the spirit-opening powder, Wang An also wants to ask the Fang sisters if they have any methods for removing scars, mainly because Mu Xueli and Wang Li look truly too ugly now.

Of course, Wang An also wants to tell Zhang Shuya and Wu Dong about those Japanese soldiers, and by the way, study the crawler tractor and walking tractor.

The key is that when Wang An and the others came down from the mountain yesterday, they went to check on those Japanese soldiers and heard an explosion coming from inside Mount Shitou.

Wang An and the others guessed that those Japanese soldiers must have set off the mortar shells.

However, it might be because those shells had been stored for too long, and the explosives inside had become damp or naturally deteriorated, affecting the power of the shells... In short, Wang An and the others discovered that after the explosion, the stone slab and the stones on top only shook slightly... And then, there was no then... The reason there was no then was because after the explosion, there wasn't a single sound inside, not even a "clanging" sound.

Wang An and the others guessed that the 5 Japanese soldiers inside should have been shocked to death, but whether they were really dead or not, that was unknown.

Because only those who have entered the mountain know how powerful the echo inside is; it can really shock a person to death alive.

But the Japanese soldiers should also have known and felt this, so after so many days, they finally jumped over the wall in desperation and chose to take a gamble with those expired shells.

Galloping all the way without any delay, Wang An arrived at the county hospital.

In China, whether now or in the future, as long as it's the busy farming season, regardless of whether it's spring plowing or autumn harvest, there are very few patients in the hospital.

Of course, this situation only refers to the county hospital and hospitals below the county level.
