Ordinary people need labor to farm, and after this autumn rush, the big guys feel that if they want to live a good life, they must have more labor at home.

As a result, many families with young men of appropriate age began to take action, planning to give young men daughters-in-law, get married in winter, and work together in the fields in spring.

Not only do young men want to marry their daughters-in-law and give birth to babies for the family, but old bachelors and widowers also want to marry a girl and go home to spend a warm winter.

Although Li Dongmei has been married and has given birth to children, she is not very old, she is good-looking, and the most important thing is that she is capable, and many big men in and outside the village have been eyeing her.

It's not good for them to come to the door in person to tell Li Dongmei about this, so they ask a matchmaker to come over, and for several days, the people of Dongmei's family have not been broken.

What these people say the most is that Dongmei is not a way to live as a woman, and sooner or later she has to find someone to live with, so it is better to find it while she is young now, and you can't find it when you are old in the future.

At first glance, it sounds like she is thinking about Dongmei, but when you think about it carefully, it feels very unreasonable.

Dongmei is doing well by herself now, at least better than when she had in-laws and husbands before, who can guarantee that the one she finds again will be better than Wang Dazhi?

The matchmaker who received the gift from someone dared to lose her conscience, and Dongmei herself would not believe it, and she was not a fool who didn't understand anything.

Look at the people these people introduced to her! There are drunkards who drink too much and beat their daughters-in-law away, there are lazy people who don't do their jobs, there are old men whose children are older than Dongmei, and there are also patients who are not in good health and have to be served by their parents, brothers and sisters...

What are they marrying daughters-in-law for? So that a healthy woman who can still have children will be a cow and a horse for them, and they will be passed on to their ancestors!

At first, Li Dongmei was still patient to talk to the people who came to the door for a while, but then she was really impatient, and she didn't care whether these people were happy or not, and directly expressed her attitude, bluntly saying that she was living a good life alone now, even if she introduced her to a young man in his twenties who was good anywhere, she would not marry.

The matchmaker thinks that she doesn't know what to do, and she wants to marry a young man as a woman who has been married and has children, isn't it not a bad brain.

The mouths of the people who love to protect the media are more or less broken, and within a few days, some people in the village said that Li Dongmei has a very big heart, and she can't look down on the men she introduced, and she wants to marry a young man in her twenties.

In the off-season, the people in the village love to visit the door, sit cross-legged on the kang and start to chew on these things.

When Li Guilan heard this, she quickly cleared up the relationship, and bluntly said that they had nothing to do with Li Dongmei, so they should have never given birth to this girl, and it didn't matter if she married or married the ghost Li family in the future.

With the attitude of the Li family, those gossiping people naturally spoke more energetically, and they couldn't listen to it.

Cao Yun and Li Yonggang went back to their parents' house before entering the mountain to engage in a side business, and chatted with Li Dongmei by the way, mainly talking about these gossips in the village, afraid that Li Dongmei would not be psychologically prepared and suddenly heard the people in the village say that she couldn't bear it.

In fact, when Li Dongmei directly and unceremoniously rejected those matchmakers, she expected that bad words would spread, she didn't care, she really didn't care.

"They like to say whatever they want, and I don't take it to heart. You don't have to stand up for me, live a good life with Yonggang, don't worry about anything else", Li Dongmei said very sincerely.

Cao Yun saw that her heart was relieved, and when she left, she asked Li Dongmei to help take care of the Guo family.

On the surface, I asked Li Dongmei to take care of the Guo family, but in fact, I just wanted Li Dongmei to move around with the Guo family, a difficult woman and a difficult family, with a Chunyang in the middle, there is no harm in being close.

There is no need for Cao Yun to hint at this, Li Dongmei wants to have more dealings with the Guo family from the bottom of her heart.

The tools and materials for making tofu are ready, and the beans are also picked, and Dongmei deliberately chooses a sunny day to start the pot to make tofu.

Dongmei's tofu craft was learned from a lady who would make tofu in Xishan Village after marrying into Xishan Village.

It's just that making tofu is really troublesome, and it takes half a day to soak the beans alone, filtering, boiling the pulp, and ordering brine... From preparing to make tofu to making tofu, it takes time and effort to burn a lot of firewood, and if there is no separate stove to make tofu, the kang will be very hot, Wang Dazhi thinks she burns the kang too hot and does not let her make tofu anymore.

There is no chance to show her skills in the Wang family, and now no one can control her, of course she can do what she wants, and she can do as much as she wants.

Thanks to the Guo family's small stone mill, it provides her with a lot of convenience in making tofu.

After the tofu was made, Dongmei cut a full half and gave it to the Guo family.

Cao Peiyu refused to take her tofu for nothing, and filled her with half a pocket of radish potatoes and several sauerkraut.

Not only that, Cao Peiyu also made several dishes with tofu that night and invited Li Dongmei to come over for dinner.

The tofu is really good, no matter how you do it, it is very delicious, and everyone at the table is very happy to eat, Cao Peiyu said quite casually: "Your craft, even if you don't farm the land, you just specialize in making tofu, you can't starve to death." ”

It's not just starvation, but you can still earn a little more.

Chunyang reacted quickly, and immediately answered: "Eldest sister, it's good for you to make tofu and sell it, anyway, if you're idle, I'll be idle at home, and I can help you do it at home." ”

Li Dongmei also moved her mind, but she glanced at Chunyang and said: "If it's okay, you can study hard, and you don't have to worry about my affairs." ”

That's right, Chunyang is very busy now, in addition to teaching first and second grade students, he also has to read books and study on his own, preparing for self-study exams.

The province also has self-study exams, twice a year, you can apply for different majors according to your interests or needs, and then you can get a diploma by taking all the subjects of this major.

There happens to be a primary education major who is very good at Chunyang's mouth, she and Zhien have entered the waste recycling station many times before finding two self-examination books for primary education, although I don't know if the textbooks will be changed in the future, it is always not wrong to learn first.

She discussed it with her family, and went to the county education bureau during the winter vacation to inquire carefully about the self-examination, and inquired about all the processes clearly.

Dongmei didn't know what self-examination or diploma was, she knew that her little sister had to study and be motivated, and she couldn't delay her little sister's time.

After going home and thinking about it for a few days, Dongmei decided to give it a try.

In the winter, even if you can't sell it, it can't be broken, it's a big deal to keep it for yourself to eat, not in vain!

However, before real action can be made, Dongmei still has a big problem to solve. She doesn't have a car, and the tofu she makes makes is hard to sell in other villages, even if she sells it in Dongshan Village!
