"I, I have never dared to say it, for fear that you would say I am fanciful."

As he spoke, he wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

As long as we can communicate, it's fine. I'm just afraid she still won't say anything.

"No matter what you think, it's useless to keep it in your heart. You can't solve it yourself. Tell me what you think and what you want."

Jiang Mengran was still a little hesitant, but still spoke slowly.

“I don’t want to find someone from the countryside. The matchmaker told my mother about people from the countryside before.

I want to grow up to be a city dweller with a job.

I have been doing farm work for a few years, so I know what it's like.

I can’t support myself even if I work myself to death, and I don’t want to do farm work, it’s too tiring. I want to find someone in the city who can support me. I can do everything from washing clothes to cooking.”

As he said this, he looked at Jiang Mengxue with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Mengxue was speechless. She just wanted to find someone in the city. What was there that she couldn't bear to tell others about such a small matter?

Her eldest sister is married in the county and has a job now. If she had told her earlier, her eldest sister would have found a suitable one for her.

My elder sister had heard that many people introduced her to potential partners but she refused to meet them, so she didn’t dare to mention it to her in the past two years. She has missed out on so much.

"You should have said this earlier. Why can't you say it? You're not a god in heaven, and you can find someone in the city."

Jiang Mengran felt so wronged. There were three sisters in her family. The eldest sister was eloquent and clever, and the second sister was smart and beautiful. Now she had a household registration and a job in the city.

As for herself, she is not as eloquent as her elder sister. Her elder sister also found a temporary job with her own ability, and then her in-laws spent some money and effort to make her a regular employee. She doesn't even have a temporary job.

Jiang Mengxue sighed when she saw her like this.

Just like three children in a family, the eldest and the youngest receive attention, while the one in the middle is invisible.

The eldest sister is sweet-mouthed and can say anything nice. She has been good at studying since she was young. It can be said that all the parents say that she will have a bright future.

My younger sister is quiet and doesn’t fight or compete with anyone. She doesn’t ask for special treatment at home.

However, this kind of personality will inevitably appear transparent in a family with many children. Everyone has to rush around for food every day, and parents don’t have the time to pay attention to what each child is thinking. It is already very good to be able to raise a child without worries about food and drink.

Anyway, if you don't listen, you can just give me a beating. How can I have the time to talk to you? I will only think about all kinds of things when I am idle. If I work harder, I will stop thinking when I am busy.

It's not surprising that he developed such a personality over time.

At this time, no parent will care about the child's inner feelings. As long as they are not starving to death, it is good enough. There is no need to be so pretentious. It can be said that everyone is like this.

After thinking about it, he lowered his tone and said, “I know, it’s not a big deal.

If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me directly. I will tell Mom about this. I work alone in the city, and I am usually too busy to do laundry and cooking when I get home. When the busy farming season is over, you can stay with me for a while. There is no work in the fields in winter anyway, so I will take you out for a walk."

Jiang Mengran's eyes lit up: "Really, sister, can I go to your place? Will mother agree?"

Jiang Mengxue rolled her eyes and now perked up.

"Don't worry about it. I'll tell Mom that you can make your own clothes at home. I'll go to the commune to buy some cotton tomorrow. The weather will get colder soon, so single clothes won't be enough.

I also brought you some clam oil and vanishing cream. You should apply them more often. People in the city don’t like black girls.”

Jiang Mengran excitedly threw himself into Jiang Mengxue's arms.

"Sister, you are so kind. I will definitely apply makeup properly and make clothes. I will definitely dress up well. We are twins, and I am not too ugly."

"Okay, okay, don't get too excited. Put your things away and go to bed. You have to go to work tomorrow. You still have to work hard at home before you come to my place."

"Don't worry, sister. I feel full of energy and very motivated now."

The little girl was so excited that she was holding a pile of cloth and thinking about what kind of clothes to make.

Jiang Mengxue was lying on the bed, thinking about what to do with her younger sister next.

She asked her to go to the city, but of course she didn't ask her to find a partner.

It is not as difficult to find a job in the city as it was in the 1960s and 1970s. The important thing now is of course to find her a job, even if it is just a temporary job.

The partner found by someone with a job is of course different from the partner found by someone without a job. Having a job gives you confidence and you don’t have to put all your hopes on your partner.

Let's wait and see about this when we return to the city. There's no need to be too anxious.

If you can find a job, there is no need to rush to get married even in your twenties. This may be the confidence brought by having an income.

The next morning when Jiang Mengran got up, Jiang Mengxue was still in a daze and didn't know what he had said to her.

She answered, but when she woke up she didn't remember anything. It shouldn't be something important.

It was already past seven in the morning when I woke up.

I simply washed up and had some breakfast, soy milk and a bowl of mixed noodles.

After eating and drinking, I plan to go out. I have nothing to do this morning, so I plan to go for a walk in the commune. I will still have time to come back and cook in the afternoon.

Not wanting to meet anyone in the team, Jiang Mengxue carried her basket and walked along the path beside the mountain.
