  Chapter 723 Chapter 723. The tenth day of the twelfth lunar month

  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 for a drink."

"Here we come." In the room, Chu Xuhua had just taken a shower and was about to be tender with Shen Ruyue. After hearing Chu Xujin's voice, he responded, then hugged Shen Ruyue and kissed him, "I'll go out and see 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 opposite to 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 elder brother. The moonlight is beautiful today, and I want to invite my elder brother to have 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, brothers."

"good."

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

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

  When he thinks that Li Hua will marry him, he becomes very excited. Last night, he was even more excited. In the past, he would not dare 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, "Very good, 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 means, the Lin family can't survive for half a month.

  Chu Xujin said, "If it's possible, I will accompany you there and gain a lot of experience."

  Chu Xuhua nodded, "OK."

   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 the same way, but things were not that easy, "The county magistrate's nephew, the members of 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 backing down." 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 have little advantage."

  Chu Xuhua is not just a farm boy now, he understood what Chu Xujin meant when he heard it, and asked after a pause, "What do you need to do to compete for this position?"

  Chu Xujin said, "It's not complicated, 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 head, the matchmaker, and some prestigious elders to his home to discuss the matter of proposing marriage to Ge Lihua.

  Ge Lihua has no relatives and no reason. There happened to be a widowed mother-in-law in the village, her maiden name was Ge, so she recognized Ge Lihua as her niece.

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

  The four elders who went, Chu Xujin, and the two strong men from the village who carried the dowry, and the elder who invited to discuss marriage proposal, Chu Matchmaker, the others did not go, which was against the rules.

  As soon as they went out, they were surrounded by children in 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 going to get married, is it true?"

  Chu Xujin looked at the team of marriage proposals, 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, do you have a 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 on the 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 make a big deal and let you eat enough, okay?"

   "That's a good thing, I like eating at your house the most."

   "Human kid is big!"

  Grandma Ge's home is not far away, and we will arrive soon.

  Grandma Ge’s house had some relatives, and some mothers-in-law from the village also came, and it was very lively.

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

  After setting the wedding date, Chu Xujin gave Ge Lihua the token of love 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 directly on his wrist, 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 is going to the county government to buy land to build brick kilns, pig farms, and cattle farms, and go with Chu Xujin.

The wounded soldier and the brick-burning master had already arrived at 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 first, and the land affairs were settled. , to start construction.

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

  Chu Qingzhi of course 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 just 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 salute, "Miss Chu, Miss Chu."
