However, Wang is not a person who likes to drill the horns of the bull, and when Li brings all the hot meals to the table, he is a little relieved to see that everyone in his family is there.

After Tian Fengming and the others came back, they also rescued the two sisters.

A sudden heavy snowfall disrupted everyone's plans, and many families in the village did not have time to prepare sufficiently.

At this time, many families in the village are hurrying to sweep the snow on the roof and make up for the roof that has collapsed due to the snow.

"Dad, it's early this winter. Our family does not have enough food, and the price of food in the county must have increased again. A peasant woman dressed in gray coarse linen and covered in wind and frost had a sad face.

The middle-aged man next to the woman, who can't see the brilliance in his eyes, has been polished by life to the point that he has no edges and corners, and only the general is left to make do and try to live.

The man took a puff on the unlit dry tobacco, "I'll fetch a few more bundles of firewood and sell them in the county!" In this weather, the firewood will definitely rise. ”

He understands that this firewood can get a few more dollars.

I am afraid that the price of grain this year is even higher than last year, how much grain can they buy with this little money saved by their family?

Next year, the son will also reach the age of kissing, and this bit of silver is not enough to marry a good daughter-in-law for his son. This money is going to be used, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to marry a normal daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, the man sighed in his heart, feeling a little out of breath.

After looking at the little dry tobacco pouch that was left, he hesitated for a moment, but lit the cigarette. Some choking smoke enters the body, and the man feels a lot more relaxed, which is the only way for him to relax.

He is the pillar of this family, no matter when, he can't collapse, he has to hold on until the day he can't hold on.

……

Tian Fengming and the others had a full breakfast, cleaned up the snow on the roof of the house, and went out.

There were a few families in the village, and the roofs were badly broken, and they went to help.

Anyway, it's cold now, and it's nothing, so if you can help, you can help!

Tian Fengming, Tian Qingming, and Cheng Yu were divided into three routes, and Tian Fengming went to the nearest family. This family is also one of the families who helped the Tian family dig sweet potatoes before.

Two dilapidated thatched huts with several large holes in the roof, and a middle-aged man is working hard to repair the holes in the roof. A young man stood on a ladder beside the eaves, and a middle-aged woman below passed the thatch upwards.

"Uncle Fan, are you busy?" Tian Fengming approached and greeted.

The young man on the ladder saw Tian Fengming's eyes light up suddenly, "Brother Fengming!" ”

Tian Fengming is in the village, that is the goal and object of struggle for young people. Everyone has some admiration for Tian Fengming.

Tian Fengming chatted with a few people, and then went directly to the roof to help repair the hole in the roof.

"Thank you, Toyomei." Fan Dafu looked grateful and said sincerely.

Tian Fengming smiled, "Uncle Fan, don't be so polite. Didn't you help me before! ”

After coming up, Tian Qingming found that the situation was more serious than he thought, there were three holes in the Fan family's house, Fan Dafu repaired the largest hole, and the other two were slightly smaller.

Tian Fengming walked to the edge of the second big hole and began to mend it. The thatched roof is still very well repaired and the materials are simple.

With Tian Fengming, a fast, good repairing expert, Fan Dafu's pressure has been reduced a lot.

"Alas, this snow couldn't have come at a better time. I don't know how much the price of grain in the county will rise, and I am afraid that this year will be sad. ”

may be because Tian Fengming is also the head of the family, so Fan Dafu felt that the two were in a similar situation, so he opened the conversation.

"The snow was really unexpected, and this year is estimated to be colder than usual." Tian Fengming also sighed a little, "Uncle Fan, are you all ready for the winter?" If you buy it after a while, I am afraid that the price will be higher. ”

As soon as he talked about food, Fan Dafu sighed, "Alas! I won't hide it from you, our family does not have enough food, and although the paddy fields have not suffered much damage this year, there are still some dry fields. After the taxes are paid, there is not much left.

I thought that this year would be similar to last year, so I thought that this winter would be tight, and I would save some money for Da Zhuang to marry his daughter-in-law next year. Who knew this year would be the case. ”

After speaking, Fan Dafu sighed again.

"Dad, I won't marry a daughter-in-law anymore, let's buy some coarse grains!" Fan Dazhuang on the ladder couldn't bear to starve his father and mother for himself.

"What nonsense?" The Ma clan below immediately stopped, "You child, how can you not marry a daughter-in-law." The situation of our family, if we don't marry you a daughter-in-law earlier, it will be difficult in the future. ”

In order to promote population growth, the imperial court stipulated that women must marry before the age of seventeen and men must marry before the age of eighteen.

Otherwise, you will have to pay a hefty fine.

Fan Dazhuang is now sixteen, and he will be seventeen in the new year, which means that he must get married next year at the latest, otherwise what awaits the Fan family is the destruction of the family.

Because few peasant families can get a high fine, and when the time comes, if they can't get the fine, the imperial court will recruit people to a bitter cold place and serve for two years.

Whether you can come back this time is a matter of two words.
