After the people left, Qingling bolted the courtyard door and the hall door, and lay on the bed upside down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since she didn't go up the mountain the next day, she didn't have to get up early, so Qingling had a long sleep.

When I woke up, it was already bright.

Birds chirped in the sky above the yard, and the sky cleared.

The men of each family were still called by the brigade to work in the field, and yesterday there was a heavy rain, and the last few seedlings were hurriedly planted, and they had to be checked one by one to see if there were any horizontal floats, and if there were any, they had to be replanted.

The straw stacks in the barn also need to be cleaned up. Some of the haystacks had not yet been gathered, and now it was wind and rain, and they were all washed away.

The daughters-in-law and girls of each family, only today did they have a full night's sleep, after breakfast, carrying bamboo baskets and carrying baskets, they went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables in groups.

"Sister-in-law of the Deng family!"

Grandma Zhang sent her wife away, waiting on the side of the road to wait for the secretary's daughter-in-law, and saw her and Aunt Xiang walking together, and beckoned to her happily.

"Auntie. Seeing Grandma Zhang calling her, Deng Mei walked over with faster steps and asked in surprise, "...... are you?"

"I've got you for help. Grandma Zhang said with a smile.

Xiang Second Aunt said playfully: "I'll go to the foot of the mountain first, and you and your aunt will go into the house and talk slowly." ”

"Nacheng, you help me carry the basket over, my little girl will come over in a while, you let her pick it up first when you go early." ”

Deng Mei confessed a few words and followed Grandma Zhang to the house.

Grandma Zhang also specially closed the door of the hall, pulled her to sit in the back room, said that she wanted to match Xiang Gang and Qingling, and asked Deng Meile if she was willing to protect this matchmaker.

In these years, when talking about marriage, there must be a middleman to protect the media, otherwise it will be looked down upon. If the family is poor, both men and women can discuss the dowry and dowry, but the matchmaker cannot be saved.

Deng Mei clapped her hands in surprise when she heard this: "This is a good thing! Happy! Of course I am willing! But auntie, have you asked the two children what they think?"

"Asked. Grandma Zhang said with a smile, "I asked my wife separately last night, so I didn't come to you to talk to you." Otherwise, I would have had this idea on the day Gangzi came back, and I didn't want to ask the two children for advice first, so I put it off until today. ”

"I had to ask them. Nowadays, it is not as good as the old society, blind marriages and dumb marriages are not popular from time to time, so it is better to ask clearly, so as not to cause suspicion in the future. Deng Mei patted the back of Grandma Zhang's hand in agreement.

"That's not the case. Grandma Zhang was happy to see that Deng Mei was willing to protect the media, and she talked more, chatting about everything she could think of, "...... Yingfang's father and mother are gone, but her grandmother is still there, it stands to reason that the old lady has to agree to get married, but you also see the old lady's style, even the granddaughter's house and rations have to be robbed, Yingfang's lifelong affairs are handed over to her, I really don't feel at ease. I don't know if it's going to be over there, if I turn around and make trouble, it's not Yingfang who will be embarrassed, alas......"

"Hmph, I'm not used to that family's style. Deng Mei said quickly, "Auntie, don't worry, since I have secured this matchmaker, I will take care of it over there in the old house." Make sure they don't drag Yingfang back. Seriously, Gangzi's child will have a big future in the future, Yingfang followed him, and the small life after marriage was designated to be happy. I also said that I would find an opportunity one day and ask Gangzi, there are a lot of nieces and nieces in my mother's family, and I will introduce him to see what he wants. Which Cheng thinks, or you are always fast, haha!"

Grandma Zhang squinted and smiled: "Don't you have to move quickly! Such a good young man, who doesn't like it!"

Deng Mei held Grandma Zhang's hand with emotion: "It's still your second elder's heart, what some people say is really ugly." I'm not afraid of this, a good life is always built by myself. Gangzi is so capable, sooner or later, he will glorify his ancestors and make those who are used to talking nonsense regret it!"

"Isn't that the reason!" Grandma Zhang nodded and got back to business, "I have discussed with my wife, no matter how much dowry is offered on Gangzi's side, let's add a little more, and return as a dowry." If the old lady is not happy, they can leave it alone, and this burden will be picked up by me and my wife. ”

"Yes, with your words, I have a score in my heart. Deng Mei replied with a smile.

Grandma Zhang happily brought a basket of eggs prepared in advance and gave it to Deng Mei as a matchmaking gift.

Deng Mei refused to accept it: "Auntie, I will accept your thank you when I run my legs." You see, I'm going up the mountain right now. Don't worry, this matter will be properly kept for you. It's not too late to send me again, ah!"

When Grandma Zhang heard her say this, she had to put the basket back.

……

Today can be said to be the first day of the end of the double robbery, and there has just been a heavy rain, and in the mountains after the rain, the harvest must be more than usual, so except for Xu Dan, who needs to go to the health center to work, everyone else has gone up the mountain.

As soon as Lin Yang arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was dragged to Xiaopolin by several young men of the same age who were sent by his family to cut firewood.

A few years ago, a thunder fell in the small slope forest, and a large part of the forest was burned by fire, until now, the eyes are still scorched and black, and wild vegetables can rarely be picked, so they will think of this place when cutting firewood.

Most of the women and girls were raking wild vegetables in the front mountains.

Liu Jihong and Jiang Meihua usually don't deal with the girls in the village, and they always feel that they are cultural people. These girls in the village have the highest level of education in primary school, and it is still unknown whether they have graduated or not.

Shu Yingfang heard that she had studied in junior high school for a year, but she didn't continue to study after her father died. Now I can't miss it -- the village primary school is closed, and the number of junior and senior high schools in the county is limited, so I need to be recommended by the brigade.

Those who can continue to go to school are either the children of the brigade cadres, or they are so poor that they can't be revealed.

And because of Lin Yang's relationship, Liu Jihong, Jiang Meihua and Shu Yingfang are not on the same page, and they don't even have anything to say with other girls, and they go back to the Zhiqing Station every day after work.

So, I couldn't get along with the girls in the village who were talking and laughing and walking forward, so I found a place to pick mushrooms silently.

When they first came, they would never come to participate in this kind of work, but as the days passed, the food was turned over and over again, and the meat was not eaten at two ends in three days. In the long run, the mouth will be tasteless. Go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, and if you are lucky, you can pick up wild eggs and shoot shoots, which will add some game to the meals of the fading birds. Only then did he begin to follow the villagers up and down the mountain.

However, the deep forest is absolutely afraid to go, I have heard the wolf howl in the middle of the moonlit night, the fear that goes deep into the bone marrow, and constantly reminds them that there are wolves in the mountains. Who has the audacity to go under the wolf's mouth to pick up food? would rather go around the foot of the mountain and pick as much as he can.
