Chapter 102: The matchmaker comes to the door
Main Courtyard.
Siniang, who has always had a weak sense of existence and looked like a transparent person, sat quietly on the threshold of the stove room, with a dustpan on her lap, picking wild vegetables.
The stove room on the old lady's side is not located in the backyard like Jian Ning's house, but in the front yard.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ge Qiaolan raised her eyes, saw someone coming, and nodded at Jian Ning.
"Siniang," Jian Ning handed the duck to Ge Qiaolan: "You boiled the pot and boiled the water to fade the duck feathers." ”
"Both?" Ge Qiaolan didn't have any expression on her face, she was actually very happy in her heart, her niece had been sending meat here since three or five o'clock recently, and her men had gained a little weight before spring ploughing.
The Ge family is famous for not treating their daughters as human beings in Duozi Village.
The years of the great famine were particularly difficult, and hunger was everywhere.
gnawing the bark of the tree and eating the soil of Guanyin, how many people starved to death, and basically did not ask for a dowry when marrying a daughter, but only asked the family of the girl to marry to give the girl a small half-satiety, and hang a life.
In the first two years, he led his sons to dig rat holes everywhere, and when he couldn't find anything to eat outside, he secretly took a few young and strong sons into the mountains to collect food.
During the famine years, if you want to ask which family has been saved, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the Jane family.
Other people's families gnaw on tree bark and are so hungry that their family can eat five or six points full.
When Ge Jian's two families discussed marriage, the lion of the Ge family opened his mouth and asked for fifty catties of grain, ten catties of meat, and five yuan.
The little flame that Ge Qiaolan had just raised was extinguished, and later, at Jian Weidong's insistence, the old lady relented, and bargained for 20 catties of grain, 5 catties of mountain goods, and 2 catties of meat to welcome her into the door.
The man, however, dragged her out of the fire pit for a trivial matter.
When she was in the town to catch a market, she met a pickpocket following the man, and she quietly reminded that the man had always been in her heart.
Thinking about it repeatedly, the corners of Ge Qiaolan's mouth rose uncontrollably, and she was able to meet her man in this life, I don't know if it was a blessing for several lifetimes.
Married into Jane's family and fell into the fairy nest, a few days later, her mother began to frequently come to the door to fight the autumn wind, to lie on her daughter to suck blood, Ge Qiaolan was extremely panicked, her mother-in-law was resolute, would she drive her back to her parents' house if she was annoyed, every time her mother came, she couldn't help but tremble.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law is a powerful person, her mother did not come to the door to please once, and then she was cleaned up by her mother-in-law twice.
The last time her mother came to the door, her mother-in-law chased her father and mother out of a few miles with a big stick.
As soon as the old lady is dispatched, several strong sons in the family will definitely be escorted.
That battle was like a confrontation between the two armies in the play, the enemy was defeated, and his own momentum was like a rainbow chasing after him.
I heard that her mother almost didn't catch her breath several times in the middle of the road, and she was extremely embarrassed by her mother-in-law's scratches, and she was frightened, so she was quiet.
She didn't even want to reminisce about the hard days when pigs and dogs were not as good as those years.
There are 365 days a year, and the second day of the new year is the most painful and dark day for her.
A hundred are reluctant to step on their mother's door, but the old lady does not allow it, and the daughter-in-law of the Jian family can't ask someone to find fault and chew her mouth.
Anyway, it's just a day, just make a show and endure it.
Fortunately, the old lady asked the man to accompany her back to her parents' house every time, the man had great strength, a strong body, and was silent, with a straight face all day long, and he looked quite bluffing, and his father and mother and the two Tianji brothers were afraid of him.
She has no ability to repay her in-laws, the only thing she can do is to give men a few more children, be diligent in keeping the house, and cause less trouble.
Ge Qiaolan recalled the memories and was a little stunned.
"Kill them all, and have a good harvest today. Jian Ning glanced at her and said, "Siniang, I'm going to take the duck feathers home in a while, you pay a little attention when you deal with them, especially the duck feathers, I'm useful." ”
She cherishes the warmth material very much, and she is reluctant to sell it.
"Good. Ge Qiaolan came back to her senses and suddenly smiled.
gave Jian Ning an inexplicable smile.
"Fourth family, is Ning Girl coming?" the old lady heard and asked.
"Mother, yes. Ge Qiaolan replied loudly with a duck in one hand.
Jian Huanhuan and Jian Ning stepped into the hall one after the other, and a pair of eyes swept over.
When Jian Ning raised her foot and entered the door, she saw a middle-aged woman with a thick waist and a big hip sitting cross-legged with the old lady, her slender eyes staring at her.
"Tut, your family has raised their daughters so smartly. The woman swept Jian Ning from head to foot, and then looked at Jian Huanhuan who was following behind, and exclaimed.
The old lady was polite: "It's okay, our family doesn't lack a few bites of food." Grandchildren and granddaughters are the same, they are all sensible and capable, especially my Ning girl, but I will find food, have you not seen my second child just came back and was as thin as a monkey, and asked my daughter to raise her for more than a month, and now she is as strong as a cow. ”
Exaggerated boasting.
"Ning girl, Huan girl, come forward and sit next to Aunt Bai. "Tell people to look closely.
Jian Huanhuan walked over shyly.
Sensing the strange atmosphere, Janine stood still.
"Come on," the old lady patted her leg.
Jian Ning moved his feet slowly.
Jian Huanhuan sat down under Aunt Bai, and Jian Ning was next to the old lady.
Aunt Bai took Jian Huanhuan's hand and praised it, and then said to the old lady: "Old sister, if you want me to say don't pick it, the third son of the Qian family is just right with your eldest granddaughter, you see that your granddaughter is so delicate, you have to find a strong one to take care of the work in the field, and your granddaughter will marry and take care of the housework." ”
She inquired clearly, the sons of the Jian family were born with divine powers, and the old lady liked to be strong.
The old lady frowned: "But I heard that his wife is not easy to get along with and has a tricky temperament." ”
"Oh, you can believe the words from outside, take 10,000 steps back, if you don't have a good time, your mother's family will come to the door to preside over the separation of the family, with your support, and then trick her to ride on your head?
Jian Ning suddenly realized, it turned out that she was saying goodbye to her cousin, proving that the Xu family's stubble had completely turned the page, and this matter had something to do with her, so the old lady called her to listen.
Holding her cheeks and listening for a while, Jian Ning yawned again and again.
Suddenly, Aunt Bai's words changed: "It's more difficult for your Ning girl's business, I have found two of them." I'm hesitating over there, old sister, see if you can arrange a time, meet in the box, and wait until you meet your granddaughter. ”
The fire suddenly burned on herself, and Jian Ning was about to leave, but the old lady said in a vicious voice: "You sit down for me!"
Angry, the old lady really has no majesty at all.
Is it easy for me!
For your business, the hair is falling out one by one, looking around, it is either crooked melons and cracked dates, or greedy little slippery heads, the conditions are slightly stronger, and people don't think about coming to the door at all.
It's sad!
