Perhaps because of what happened to Jiang Dongmei, the Jiang family now has very simple conditions for their youngest daughter Jiang Mengran to find a partner. They don't want too many brothers and sisters, but they must have good character, get along well with each other, and have relatively comfortable living conditions.

It's good for brothers and sisters to help each other. But the worst thing is that after they get married, each of them only cares about their own family and wishes the other person a bad life. Such brothers and sisters are worse off than not having them at all.

The elders in the family have fair values ​​and treat children impartially. It doesn’t matter if the conditions are a little worse. As long as the young couple has a job, they won’t be too bad.

Li Dahua searched in her mind to see if there was a match. It was not easy to have a simple family of brothers and sisters. In this day and age, which family doesn't have at least two or three children?

But these words sounded different to Aunt Li, who was sitting opposite Jiang Mengxue.

Li Qijun is the only child in the Li family. Li Baoguo and Li Baojia are the only two brothers with this child. He has a formal job in a machinery factory. Although there is only one room in the house, the small garden next to it can also be used as a room. Now Li Qijun lives alone in this room built at the back.

Besides, if the house is not big enough in the future, we can just build a second floor like Jiang Mengxue's house.

Originally, Ma Da Jiao from the backyard was thinking about whether she could introduce her to her youngest son Ma Xiangqian, but considering that her own housing conditions were indeed not as good as Jiang Mengxue's, she estimated that the Jiang family would not agree to this even if she brought it up.

But Aunt Cao had no self-awareness. Her sons and daughters-in-law all had jobs and were well-off. As for housing, after Jiang Mengran married in, wouldn't her house also be his? As an older sister, Jiang Mengxue couldn't just watch her younger sister squeeze into such a small room. She could just give up one of the two rooms and give it to her younger sister.

Besides, her husband is a soldier. If he can join the army in the future, Jiang Mengxue will go to the army with him. These two houses will still be left to her sister.

There are also two bicycles in her family. Jiang Mengxue will not be able to ride them all by herself when the time comes. It would be perfect to give one to her sister as a dowry.

Fortunately, Jiang Mengxue didn’t know what she was thinking, otherwise she would definitely say that classic line, “Are you okay?” What good things was she thinking about?

Not to mention that this house was allocated to Jiang Mengxue by the street and she bought it with money, this bicycle was not a dowry from the Jiang family, but a betrothal gift from the Gu family.

I have never heard of anyone who is still thinking about his wife's sister's house and betrothal gifts after getting married.

Li Dahua was in a hurry to show people around and left after a short while.

Aunt Li was still thinking about who to ask the Jiang family about the situation. She thought that both families had to have this intention before asking a matchmaker to come. Otherwise, it would become known to everyone, and it would be bad if the two children couldn't get along.

She noticed that Jiang Mengxue had always gotten along well with Aunt Liu next door, and Aunt Liu's two grandchildren were still young, so it would be most appropriate to ask her to go to their house and ask.

When Gu Qingbei came back in the evening, Jiang Mengxue complained to him about this matter.

"I didn't expect that the matchmaker would come after Xiaoran came that time. I don't care about this matter. It depends on what she thinks. Now she has a job, so it's okay to get married in a few years."

Gu Qingbei turned around in surprise: "In a few years? Xiaoran is the same age as you. You won't regret getting married so early, right?"

Jiang Mengxue didn't know why he jumped to this point: "What are you thinking about? This depends on whether you have met the person you want to marry. If not, it's okay to wait a few years."

The two of them had a simple meal and went to bed in the evening.

The next morning, He Dazhong and Tang He were busy, and the yard was filled with fragrance.

All the dishes were prepared the day before.

Jiang Mengxue didn't dress so formally today. She wore a pair of fashionable black pants and a loose red sweater. It was just right for daytime wear, and a woolen coat on the outside.

Gu Qingbei’s situation was much simpler, he could just wear a military uniform.

The tables on the first and second floors of the house are filled with peanuts, melon seeds and candies. When guests come, they will inevitably come to take a look around the house.

The first to come were Li Qiang and his wife. Jiang Mengran was not resting today, so Jiang Mengxue did not let her come.

"Big sister, see if anyone needs help? Xiaoran can't come here if she doesn't rest today."

Jiang Mengxue and the other person put down their things and came to receive the guests.

"Brother Qiang, sister-in-law, you are here now. You don't need to help. Everything that needs to be prepared was prepared yesterday. Please come in and sit down.

Why didn’t you bring the child here? It’s just right for lunch.”

"Don't be polite, sister. Those guys made an appointment with some classmates to go rabbit hunting in the suburbs early in the morning. I don't even know when they ran away."

In fact, the whole family came over last time and ate a lot of food. She felt really bad about it, so she prepared the food and put it in the pot early in the morning. If the kids were hungry after playing, they could just go home and heat it up to eat. How could they come over to eat at her expense every time?

"Sister, this house is really well decorated. Can I go up and take a look?"

Wang Hong looked around as soon as she entered the house. The living room was empty except for a dining table. It was unlike her house where the empty spaces were piled with things.

There's nothing wrong with that. Jiang Mengxue took the two of them around the room downstairs and then took them upstairs.

"The space up there is not being used now, and we haven't prepared any furniture. The only thing we did was lift the bed we used to sleep on up here because it's no longer needed."

All three rooms upstairs have a large window, so the lighting in the room is very good.

In the living room was a solid wood coffee table that Jiang Mengxue took out from the space. On it was a thermos and a tea tray with a few cups.

After looking at several rooms, Wang Hong's eyes were full of envy. The space was so big that it was enough to sleep even a few more children.

"It's really nice. Not to mention the upstairs, even the two small rooms downstairs are big enough to live in, not to mention the row of kangs."

Jiang Mengxue poured tea for the two of them. The tea was bought at the department store, and the tea tickets were also sent by Gu's mother. She brewed flower tea for Honghong, which was picked by Jiang Mengxue's sisters-in-law.

We hadn't been sitting there for a while when guests came downstairs.

"Girls, you should go about your business. We'll come down by ourselves after we finish our tea."

Jiang Mengxue felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Qiang and sister-in-law, please sit for a while. Please don't mind if I'm not a good host."

It was really inconsiderate. I should have asked someone to come and entertain the guests.

Also rushing over were several of Gu Qingbei's comrades and their families. Chen Fangzhou was the head of the security department of the machinery factory. His wife Liang Meihua was unemployed and was taking care of the children at home.

Wu Zhongming is the director of the grain station and captain of the Huanghai Armed Police Bureau. He has now been promoted to deputy director of the police station.
