The Huo family lived at the very end of the eastern part of the village and only moved to Daxiang Village in the 1950s.
There are four sons in the family. The eldest son, Hood, is 28 years old and still unmarried.
Since the eldest son is not married, it is difficult for his younger sons to find a date, which makes the old couple of the Huo family very anxious.
The Huo family looks ordinary, but they have three sons at home, and the old couple are hardworking, so there are people who want to matchmake for their family.
But Huo De didn't like anyone, and after sending the photos of the couple, there was no follow-up. The Huo family offended many people because of this.
After that, no one wanted to act as a matchmaker for the Huo family, and few people were willing to come to the end of the village.
The reason why Xiangnan still remembered this family was because of Huo De's name.
In the original book, the hero and heroine later arrived in Jinghai and offended a big shot. It was this Huo De who came out to rescue them for the sake of their fellow villagers.
It's a very minor supporting role and only appears once.
But since Hood can have a say in this big shot that even the male and female protagonists are afraid of, his status must be very high.
Since she wants to find someone to marry, she might as well keep him as a potential stock. If things don't work out, she can always get divorced.
Xiangnan went to the Huo family but did not tell them her purpose. She only said that she had borrowed a book from Huo when he was at home before. The book seemed very important to him, and she wanted to send a telegram to ask Huo whether she wanted to send the book back to him.
The old couple of the Huo family had no doubts and told her Huo De's address.
Looking south, wow, it turned out to be the address of the army.
Military marriages require reporting, and divorce is not easy. Xiangnan was a little hesitant, but she had no other choice in the short term.
When Xiangnan returned home, word had already spread in the village that Xiangnan had already found a promising partner and that they would get married within half a month. No wonder he dumped Zhang Hao.
"Xiangnan is such an idiot. Who else in this area could be better than Zhang Hao? She actually dumped Zhang Hao. She'll have something to cry about in the future."
"This is what happens when a child without parents lacks guidance. He is easily attracted by new things and acts like a whim."
"Who would dare to marry her? She's been flirting with Zhang Hao for several years, who knows if she's still a clean woman."
Wow, there are more than a dozen people gathered under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
Xiangnan stood and listened for a while, not paying much attention. She had expected Li Lanjiang to play such a trick at this time. If she took the money, she would have to endure some rumors.
As for whether she will regret it, we'll just have to wait and see who regrets it in the end.
There were a lot of rumors in the village, so Xiangnan was too lazy to go out. He just went to Zhou Xiumei's house to buy some rice and never left the house again.
But even if you don't go out, you can still hear some noises outside, because the mud walls of the farmhouse are not soundproof.
Today Zhang Hao bought Zhu Li a new dress, tomorrow Zhang Hao bought Zhu Li a beautiful hairpin, and later Zhang Hao bought Zhu Li a moisturizer.
The fragrance of Julie's green tea wafts through the air under the big trees in the village.
Zhou Xiumei came over with a look of disappointment on her face: "Why did you dump Zhang Hao? Is it true that there's someone you like?"
"There is one, but we have to wait."
"You're crazy! Who on earth made you dump even Zhang Hao?"
I don't usually see her having contact with other gay men.
"Auntie, don't worry, I must have my reasons for doing this. I'm not really stupid. I don't need the charity from other people.
I buy my own flowers and wear them myself, and I earn my own money. Li Lanjiang has always looked down on us country folk, and I think we won't have a good life if I marry into his family."
Zhou Xiumei sighed: "But you know how many of them are trying their best to get into the Zhang family."
Xiangnan used to be one of them, why did he suddenly change?
But she also knew that what Xiangnan said was true. The Zhang family looked rich, but Li Lanjiang would not let you marry into the family and enjoy a good life.
Zhou Xiumei didn't know whether she should be glad that she had let it go, or feel sorry for her and Zhang Hao.
Xiangnan doesn't care what others think. She will let them know that she will live a better life without Zhang Hao.
Ultimately, you still have to make money. With money, you will have confidence, and these rumors will naturally disappear.
There wasn't much money to be made in the village, so I had to go to town and send a telegram to Hood.
The next day, Xiangnan took his household registration book and set off for the town.
Daxiang Village is neither big nor small, with five brigades, twenty or thirty groups, and several hundred households.
Except for Zhang Hao's family, other villagers live in mud houses. The better-off families have replaced their roofs with green tiles, but most of them still live in thatched houses.
Looking south, I saw a big slogan printed on a house: Whoever escapes poverty is glorious, whoever is poor is incompetent.
Xiangnan stared at the slogan for a while. She liked it. Although this era was poor, it was a vibrant era with unlimited vitality and business opportunities.
It is already the end of spring. The rice in the fields is green and yellow. It will be ripe in a month or two. Then it will be the busy farming season, and we have to harvest the rice under the scorching sun.
Xiangnan felt sick when she thought of this. She was not the original owner but she didn't know how to farm. What would she do with her few acres of land?
Make more money, and then hire someone to do the job.
Daxiang Village is not far from the town. If you walk fast, it will take about 40 to 50 minutes, and if you walk slowly, it will take an hour to get there.
But the road was not easy to walk on. It was a loess road with stones, and the sharp stones would dig into the soles of the feet when walking.
There was nothing much to see on either side of the road, only wooden telephone poles.
Occasionally there are one or two abandoned old mud houses, and there is no one in sight as far as the eye can see.
We walked south, resting for a while, and it took more than an hour to reach the town.
The roads in town are not much better than those in the village. They are just a little wider and have fewer gravels, but they are still covered in mud on rainy days.
Just look at the supply and marketing cooperative building. The lower part of the building is all yellow, all due to the yellow mud and water stuck there during rainy days.
The supply and marketing cooperative is located on the side of the road. The old house covers a large area. Today is the market day in Heping Town, and there are quite a lot of people crowded inside.
The shelves of the supply and marketing cooperative were filled with all kinds of goods. They were old and the paint on the iron shelves was peeling.
The supply and marketing cooperatives have most of the daily necessities, such as skin care products, tobacco, alcohol, grains, noodles, oils, and also places selling meat.
There is a glass counter with Liberation shoes, floral shoes, and plastic sandals.
Xiangnan used his clever strength to squeeze to the front of the counter.
Summer is coming and she wants to buy a pair of sandals to wear first.
The plastic sandals only come in two colors, one burnt yellow and one green. There aren't many styles, but they cost three dollars a pair.
No matter how ugly they are, you should always have a pair for summer.
Xiangnan shouted, "Help me get a pair of sandals."
The member of the supply and marketing cooperative looked stern and took a pair of coins from the counter and threw them to Xiangnan: "Three yuan."
Xiangnan didn't like green because it was hard to match with her clothes. She said, "Can you help me change to a pair of yellow ones?"
The club member, a man in his thirties, said impatiently, "Just buy whatever pair you get. You act like you're a rich lady. You keep choosing. Are you qualified?"
Xiang Nan's anger rose to her throat because of him. Miss Xiang, the winner of the wealthy family struggle, had never suffered such humiliation before.
