The weather is getting colder and colder, and the thin clothes on my body have long been unable to withstand the cold.

Aunt Wang is old, and she has already put on cotton clothes on her body, and when she saw Shen Qingqing, she didn't know how to walk into the side and whispered: "Why did that matchmaker come to tell you about matchmaking just now, don't you know?" ”

Shen Qingqing put down the work in her hand and poured another cup of tea for Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, I really don't know, you tell me carefully." ”

"Do you know what happened to our Nanjiang Kingdom last winter?"

"Last winter?"

Shen Qingqing thought of it like this, the country where she is located is called Nanjiang Country, Nanjiang Country is not very rich, but it is definitely not poor, last winter there was a snow disaster and corpses were all over the wilderness, and people couldn't even eat a mouthful of food, but the house leak happened to be rainy, and neighboring countries came to invade again, and a winter was a loss of a lot of people.

In ancient times, the population was the productive force, and the court saw that there were fewer and fewer people in Nanjiang State, so they thought of a way, as long as the unmarried men and women were over the age, they all had to get married, if you voluntarily found the opposite sex, if you couldn't find the opposite sex, then the state forced two people to get married.

From the current point of view, this policy is quite rude, but in ancient times this was no way, if a country has no population, let alone a natural disaster, even if other countries invade slightly, it will not be the destruction of the country.

Aunt Wang continued: "This policy has already been implemented in many towns, our village is relatively remote, I am afraid that it will take a while to implement it, but Qingqing is not for me to remind you, you have to prepare early." With your family business, I'm afraid there will only be a lot more matchmakers in the future. ”

"I know." Shen Qingqing's whole body was slumped on the chair, she really didn't have the mood to think about other things. "Aunt Wang really doesn't hide it, I don't want to get married."

Shen Qingqing was very helpless when he said this.

Aunt Wang knew what Shen Qingqing was thinking in her heart, so she just patted her hand: "This can't be done, you have to marry if you don't want to get married, and when the time comes, instead of being forced, you might as well find someone who likes you to marry." ”

Aunt Wang saw that Shen Qingqing was in no mood, and left after saying two more words.

When Shen Qingqing was the only one left in the house, he wanted to cry when he sat on the chair without tears, and he finally cleaned up the situation in the house, but a policy will disrupt the life that was not easy to stabilize.

In the next few days, Shen was in a restless mood last year, but the blessing was not a curse or a curse could not be avoided, I thought that their village was relatively remote, and the national policy was probably not going down, but the next day when she and Yulian went to the town to deliver glutinous rice dumplings, they saw a notice posted at the entrance of the government.

Shen Qingqing still had fantasies in her heart, but when she saw that notice, she was standing in place, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Yulian knew what Shen Qingqing was thinking, so she just opened her mouth to comfort: "Sister, let's go home first and discuss it slowly, this is a lifelong event, even if the imperial court comes down with a policy, we can't just find someone to marry." ”

Yulian can also be regarded as lucky, because her previous household registration was not here and she moved away, so her marital status is unknown, and if she gives the government a few taels of silver, she will be fooled.

But Shen Qingqing can't do it, her household registration has always been here, and her ex-husband died after having a child, this is all clearly written on the household registration, and this marriage must be a foregone conclusion.

The two of them returned home listlessly, and the village had already exploded.

All unmarried women are almost going to be broken by the matchmaker, and the singles who have not been able to find their daughter-in-law before are happy to blossom, sitting under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and eating melon seeds, waiting for the beautiful lady to enter her arms.

Shen Qingqing's family can be regarded as lifeless, Lin Zhong also heard the news, sat in the hall and looked at Shen Qingqing's appearance and wanted to speak, but he couldn't interject a word about such a thing. In the end, I could only sigh and go back to my room.

Before it stopped, two or three matchmakers entered the house.

"Qingqing, I'm idle, I'm here to tell you about the matchmaker."

"Alas, mother-in-law, what's so good about those men in your hands, or these men in my hands are good, I'll also tell Shen Qingqing about the matchmaker."

"Come on, you're all old singles who have been fighting for decades......"

As soon as the matchmaker saw the door, Shen Qingqing knew that this matter could not be delayed.

Shen Qingqing is okay, she can choose and plan slowly, but Zhang Yuan over there was the first to suffer.

finally jumped out of the fire pit with Fang Lu and Heli, but she had to marry in a short period of time after this policy.

Zhang Yuan's parents have recruited many people for her, but Zhang Yuan was married, and the man she found was either defective or divorced, and Zhang Yuan really didn't like it.

And her sister-in-law told him about a mother's family, and the man looked crooked and cracked jujubes, even if he didn't speak well, Zhang Yuan naturally disagreed.

Sister-in-law complained about Zhang Yuan: "You have kissed yourself once before, what kind of goods you are in your heart, hurry up and find someone to marry, in case the government compulsorily marries you to someone else, you will not have time to cry by then." ”

Zhang Xin didn't want his sister to marry someone like that, but he couldn't, it was his daughter-in-law's mother's family, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only smoke an old smoking gun next to him.

"Sister-in-law, it's not like you haven't seen that man, do you want me to marry him?" Zhang Yuan opened her mouth to retort.

The sister-in-law is also an extremely strong person, and snorted coldly: "What? You still don't look down on my mother's family, let me tell you, how many yellow flower girls wanted to marry him before he had an accident, and there was craftsmanship in his hands that looked ugly. ”

"I didn't see the craftsmanship in his hands......"

Zhang Yuan muttered quietly, and her sister-in-law heard her ear directly tugging on her ear: "What did you say?" I'm Zhang Luo for you inside and out, am I still wrong? What about my mother's family? He didn't like you to get married once, you are now no one wants, Zhang Yuan, think about it, although Fang Lu is also wrong, but you can't give birth to a son and a half daughter, aren't you wrong? ”

Since Zhang Yuan returned to Zhang's house, her sister-in-law has looked at her everywhere unpleasantly, thinking that she eats and drinks for nothing, Zhang Yuan goes to work in the glutinous rice factory whenever she has time, but it is still not enough.

"It's not me saying you, it's okay for us to raise you for a year and two years, but we can't support you for a lifetime, besides, now that the policy is down, you can't twist your arms and thighs."

That Zhang Yuan said that her sister-in-law was just bored in her heart, and suddenly she thought of an idea.

Yulian has been living in the glutinous rice factory, so as not to waste hours running back and forth, when the women in the village have not come to work, someone came to knock on the door, and when she opened the door, she saw Zhang Yuan standing at the door: "Zhang Yuan, why are you here?" ”

The clothes Zhang Yuan was wearing were very thin, and her face was swollen into walnuts as if she had cried.

"Sister, Zhang Yuan is here."

Last night, Shen Qingqing counted the glutinous rice dumplings in the glutinous rice processing factory, and he was a little late, so he didn't go back, and he also lived here.

Shen Qingqing heard Yulian's shout, hurriedly got dressed and ran out, and when she saw Zhang Yuan's appearance, she didn't need to ask much to know what was going on.

Shen Qingqing tilted his head and smiled a little bitterly: "What? Did your brother and sister-in-law force you to get married? ”

Zhang Yuan finally stopped crying, and when she heard Shen Qingqing say this, tears flowed out again: "Qingqing, I really can't do it now, the person my sister-in-law asked me to marry is really not successful, even if I am ugly, even if I have physical defects, although I have been divorced once, I would never dare to hand over my life's affairs to such a person." ”

Since experiencing Fang Lu's incident, Zhang Yuan has become more and more concerned about her own happiness.

Shen Qingqing also understood, but just hugged her in his arms: "The two of us can be regarded as sympathetic to each other." ”

In a word, there was some ridicule just now, this is not something that you can decide, but the court decides, even if you are helpless, you have to find the most beneficial one from the most difficult method.

"If I don't want to get married, my brother and sister-in-law can't force me, but I'm at home every day, and I bring the matchmaker over to see me every day, and it's very annoying to be picked like goods."

If it were someone else, Shen Qingqing would comfort her at best, but after the previous incident, her relationship with Fang Yuan was already self-evident, so she would naturally put herself in her shoes.

"So be it." Shen Qingqing thought for a while. "Why don't you move to the factory and live with Yulian, so that you two women can take care of it."

This method is naturally good, Zhang Yuan is very grateful to Shen Qingqing, but all the emotions are in her heart, after all, Shen Qingqing has helped her so many words, and it has long been lacking.

Zhang Yuan is not having a good time here, and Fang Lu over there is not very good.

This woman is afraid of marrying the wrong person, and this man is also afraid of marrying the wrong daughter-in-law.

If it is not good for his daughter-in-law to marry, then it is true that the ancestors have not produced talents for three generations.

It is said that Fang Lu and Liu Meihua had a smooth life a few days ago, and this matter has nothing to do with him. But the bad thing is that he didn't lift it before Zhengfanglu, and after eating Shen Qingqing's big tonic soup, he still didn't lift it.
