Not to mention, it's really the situation that Yue Jiujiu guessed.

The idea of patriarchy in ancient times was deep-rooted, so the natural disasters of the past few years, year after year, I feel that God doesn't seem to want to give people a way to live, in this case, let alone girls, many boys have also suffered the fate of being sold.

In the past two years, girls have only been born for a long time, and boys are more miserable, before the natural disaster, the family is reluctant to sell the children and grandchildren who have grown up to be strong laborers, and the ones that are sold are only half the size of the children who know how to eat, and even the newborn ones are sold.

As a result, many older young people like Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei in various villages are still playing singles.

It's not that the family doesn't give you a marriage, it's that there is no one to marry, unless you go to the dental store to buy it.

Those who married their daughters-in-law before the natural disaster, and those who married their daughters-in-law when they took advantage of the natural disasters to marry their daughters-in-law, and those who were lucky enough to marry their daughters-in-law after the natural disasters, those people are now just the fathers and mothers of two or three-year-old children.

Of course, this is only the majority of the situation, not that there are no people who are reluctant to have children, and no matter how hard and tired they are, they are not willing to sell their children, but those people are a minority after all.

Therefore, Lin Chaonan's batch of singles, if they are not lucky enough, or not rich enough, they may be singles for a lifetime.

Yue Jiuyue didn't want to ask about these children's private affairs, but after thinking about her current identity and thinking about the people of this era, she couldn't help pinching her eyebrows.

She really doesn't want to be nosy!

However, if she ignores her like this, will she be misunderstood by the two brothers, does she not want to marry them a daughter-in-law?

Damn! She is a single dog, and she has to handle the marriage of two young people, and she suddenly wants to pick a son and quit.

People officer?

She hasn't talked about sweet love herself, she wants to be a mother and a grandmother for others, her life is so bitter!

Fortunately! She has already thrown a few children out to be independent, and she doesn't have to eat dog food every day in the future, so she doesn't have to worry about seeing the spicy-eyed mosaic picture.

Was that prescient?

However, she is a mother to other people, and it is not the first time that she has thought of the two children marrying a daughter-in-law, thinking that Lin Chaonan is already twenty-two years old, and Lin Chaobei is also twenty years old, and he is really an older young man in this world.

By the way, she remembered that the marriage law of this dynasty stipulated that if a man and a woman do not marry at a certain age, they will be charged double the tax, and in some places there will even be official forced marriage.

They don't say that they have a forced marriage here, but there are taxes that should be paid, but because of natural disasters in the past few years, taxes were exempted, so the family escaped.

This year, if the two children have not married a daughter-in-law, they will be fined next year.

Alas! It was so hard to live in ancient times! I can't even do the autonomy of marriage, and if I don't get married, I will be fined, it's really miserable!

In the evening, there were only servants at the dinner table, so Yue Jiujiu didn't shy away from it, and asked directly:

"The two brothers are not young, and there are a lot of people who come into contact with them outside all day long, do you have a favorite girl? If there is, I will quickly say that I should arrange the marriage for the two of them as soon as possible. ”

Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei: (ー_ー)!!

Their mother finally remembered that the two of them were old bachelors, but why didn't they feel happy?

"Mother, I don't want to get married yet!"

Lin Chaonan immediately refused.

"Mother, I don't want to, but I'm still young, so I'll take care of my third brother first!"

Lin Chaobei was a little clever ghost, and immediately set Lin Chaonan up and set it on fire.

Lin Chaonan glanced at Lin Chaobei, and then shook the pot:

"Mother, I still have a second brother above, I'll talk about it when my second brother comes back."

Speaking of which, he also added another sentence, saving himself to slap his face when the time comes.

"However, if I have a girl I like, I will tell you as soon as possible, and then I will trouble my mother to help me handle it."

Lin Chaobei didn't expect Lin Chaonan to have this operation, so he hurriedly followed the trend and said:

"Niangniang, so do I!"

The topic of urging marriage is here, and the mothers and sisters have eaten enough and gone back to their respective houses.

On the way back to Dongling, Lin Chaobei was still chattering all the way to dig out Lin Chaonan's little secret, he seriously suspected that Lin Chaonan must already have a girl he liked, it should be that people haven't agreed yet, otherwise why would he say that in the end.

"Let's talk about it, I promise not to tell our mother, which girl is it, her eyes are so high! I can't even look down on my tall, handsome, rich and landy third brother? ”

Lin Chaonan didn't say a word, and Lin Chaobei could talk to himself.

"I've been looking at the shops in the town since the winter, is that girl from the town? There are a couple of girls of about the same age in town, huh...... Is it the granddaughter of the king's butcher's family? Or that tofu Shih Tzu? ”

Lin Chaobei stroked his chin back and forth with his index finger, turning into Sherlock Holmes.

"Don't guess, it's ruined the reputation of other girls."

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Chaobei to say anything, he opened the door and went in, leaving only Lin Chaobei to close the door with a "clang".

Lin Chaobei, who was almost hit by his nose, was so frightened that he jumped back, forgetting what he wanted to say, and was jumped by Lin Chaonan.

"Lin Chaonan! It's too much! ”

Yue Jiuyue is a very enlightened "mother", so the two children said that they had no ideas for the time being, so she didn't ask anymore, and planned to ask again next year.

If you ask it once a year, this frequency of "urging marriage" shouldn't make people feel bored, right?

As for the two children in case they don't get married or something in their lifetime, anyway, the two children have a lot of private money, even if they are fined five times the money, they themselves will pay for it, and they can also increase taxes for the country, which can be regarded as their contribution.

After that, everything returned to its usual plain like water, there was nothing to do at home, nothing happened in the shop, but it was almost time for the wheat harvest.

The time of the wheat harvest is very tight, because it is in the summer, and no one knows when God will suddenly rain, so every time the wheat is harvested, Yue September will also participate.

This year's difference from previous years is that many people follow Feng Yue September and wrap themselves tightly, the women of the Zhou family are like this, and many mothers-in-law at the top of the pyramid in the village are also like this, but those younger daughters-in-law are mostly the same as in previous years, without any sun protection measures.

Yue Jiujiu didn't have time to care about others, so she kept bending over to tie up the wheat, and her tired old waist was not hers anymore.

She hasn't done physical work in a year!
