Chapter 452 Refusing to Help
Ye Xian did not appear in front of Jiang Dong. After confirming from a distance, she left.
She had to call and find out what kind of relationship Jiang Dong had with the people in Leiwu Village.
Ye Xian had only been dating Jiang Dong for a few months, and she didn't know anything about the people and things in the Jiang family, and Jiang Dong wouldn't tell her.
Her classmates knew that she was dating Jiang Dong, but they didn't tell her about Jiang Dong's family background.
The person on the other end of the phone said, "I don't know. Just ask around in the village. Two jeeps coming into the village should have a lot of people talking about it!"
"Then should I go see Jiang Dong?"
"What's there to see now? If you see Jiang Dong now, he will think you're still haunting us. It won't be too late to see you on the sixth night of the New Year."
"good."
Ye Xian responded and was looking forward to tomorrow night.
*The children were eating sugarcane, but their aunt was still chopping it. Zhou Chenglei chopped with her.
Jiang Dong also hurried to help.
Auntie smiled and said, "Alei, you haven't eaten the sugarcane grown by Auntie for many years, right?"
Zhou Chenglei said, "More than ten years."
He has not spent the New Year at home since he joined the army.
My aunt-in-law cut down a row of sugarcanes and tied them into two bundles: "I specially left this row of sugarcanes for you. Take these two bundles home and eat them. Xiaoxia loves them."
Zhou Chenglei: "No need for so many, I'll just take two back."
"Bring more. You haven't eaten the sugarcane grown by your aunt-in-law for so many years, so take this as a reward. One bundle for you to eat, and one bundle for Xiaodong to take back to your father-in-law and mother-in-law to taste. I grew these two rows with peanut bran, and they are especially sweet."
As soon as Jiang Dong arrived, he secretly gave two red envelopes to her and the old man, each of which was worth 100 yuan.
Xiao Xia also gave one, also a red envelope of 100 yuan.
In the past, whenever Alei came back from vacation, he would come to see them and give her and the old man twenty or thirty yuan to spend.
My aunt-in-law didn't have anything good to give them, so she could only give them some more sugarcane to take back.
My aunt-in-law gave two bundles of sugarcane to Zhou Chenglei, but only two or three to the first and second wives.
There were only a few sugarcanes left in the two rows, which were left for other relatives and friends to eat when they came.
After cutting the sugarcane, their aunt took them to dig cassava.
Li Xiuxian was holding two pieces of sugarcane and walking behind with Tian Caihua.
Li Xiuxian kept looking at the two bundles of sugarcane that Jiang Dong was carrying in front of her.
The discriminatory treatment by my aunt-in-law is too obvious!
She whispered to Tian Caihua, "Aunt is too realistic! It's as if we are not her relatives!"
Tian Caihua: "I saw Xiaoxia and Xiaodong gave each of their aunts and uncles a thick red envelope. What did you give?"
Li Xiuxian: “…”
My aunt-in-law planted a cassava field and dug a large snakeskin bag of cassava from the field for them, one bag for each family.
The field was uneven, so Zhou Chenglei just focused on pulling Jiang Xia away and didn't take anything.
Jiang Dong carried two bundles of sugarcane on one shoulder and two snakeskin bags of cassava in one hand.
If his father asked him to skip a day of exercise, he wouldn't be able to bear it! His brother-in-law asked him to come here to do hard labor, right?
After having lunch at my aunt’s house, the family went home.
My uncle and aunt raised two sons, and my two cousins each had two or three sons, not counting the daughters who married out.
So Zhou Chenglei has a lot of cousins here, and it is inevitable that he will drink during the meal.
It took five tables to accommodate everyone during dinner.
Adults and children sit separately, and those who drink and those who don’t drink sit separately.
Zhou Chenglei was used to driving without drinking, so he used the excuse that his ears were hurting and didn't drink.
Although he didn't drink, everyone pulled him and Jiang Dong to the main table. No one blamed Zhou Chenglei for not drinking, as a group of cousins were the most enthusiastic towards him.
This table was full of men, so Jiang Xia sat with his cousin's aunt and cousin's wife.
Among the sisters-in-law, everyone is the most enthusiastic towards Jiang Xia, especially the eldest cousin's wife.

Tian Caihua leaned close to Jiang Xia's ear and whispered, "My cousin's wife wants you to help introduce her to someone. My cousin's wife's eldest daughter just graduated from junior high school last year. They wanted to find you when she joined the group last time, but you were too busy and she didn't find the opportunity."
Halfway through the meal, my eldest cousin's wife spoke up: "Xiao Xia, my eldest daughter Azhen graduated from junior high school last year. Do you know any young men? Introduce one to her. My requirements are not high. I want someone who is down-to-earth, hardworking, and has a good temper. It would be best if he works in a unit, and it would be even better if he works in the city."
My aunt-in-law heard this and said, "You want someone who works in the city and has a job. Aren't these requirements too high? What are our conditions? Xiaoxia, don't worry about these. Just introduce someone who is down-to-earth, hardworking, and has a good temper. Even those who work in the city and have a job won't look down on us! Someone from the village or town will do."
The cousin's wife was really going to be mad at her mother-in-law. If she wanted to find someone from the village, she could just ask Tian Caihua to introduce her. Why did she ask Jiang Xia? Wasn't Tian Caihua more familiar with the boys in the village than Jiang Xia?
Do you still hope that your granddaughter can live a better life? Her daughter is so beautiful, the most beautiful in the whole village, so of course she wants to find her a good husband who has a job, so that she won’t have to worry about the rest of her life.
Only those who have a company can get a pension after retirement, and they can also get their daughters to work in the company. After retirement, the children can take over! Generations of ancestors have never had to worry about work.
Mother Zhou thought of Zhou Guodong: "There is a young man in our village who is very hardworking and filial. His family has a small boat. He is a little poor now because his father was kicked by a pig when he was catching it to kill. He was injured and hospitalized and owed some debts, but his family has a boat, so their future life will not be bad. He is a really good person! He has a good temper and is hardworking! He is also good-looking, 1.7 meters tall. It's just that his father was injured and hospitalized recently. When his father is discharged from the hospital, I will introduce him to Ah Zhen?"
Zhou Kangping is also a good person, but he has difficulty walking, so his mother is embarrassed to introduce him.
Aunt: "Okay! You can take a look."
"What's good about that? My dad borrowed money to be hospitalized and is in debt. I'm most afraid that I'll have to help pay off the debt if I marry him!"
My aunt-in-law shook her head: "Bamboo door against bamboo door, wooden door against wooden door, our family is too far behind others, and we will suffer a lot in the future."
The eldest cousin's wife: "Who can I marry without being bullied? Why not marry a good one?"
The eldest cousin's wife still wanted her daughter to find a man who has a job: "Cousin, forget about the one you mentioned. Xiaoxia, try to help her find someone who has a job. It can be from the countryside or the city, but it's best if she has a job."
Most people of this generation get married through introductions from relatives, friends, and neighbors, and very few get married based on free love.
Many couples get married after having only met a few times and are still not familiar with each other.
Jiang Xia was not surprised that someone would ask her to introduce someone to someone, as that was the general environment.
Jiang Xia glanced at Lei Yuzhen who was sitting at the opposite table. The girl had delicate features and was quite pretty, but her skin was a little dark. But the children in the village did a lot of farm work, so their skin was generally darker.
She just graduated from junior high school, which means she is not even 18 years old. Besides, Jiang Xia doesn't like to be a matchmaker and is not interested in being a matchmaker.
Jiang Xia smiled and refused directly without any hesitation: "Cousin, you have found the wrong person. I don't know many people, and I haven't heard of anyone around me looking for a partner. Besides, I don't know how to judge people. I'm afraid that I will introduce the wrong person and end up with a couple who are unhappy with each other. I will feel bad about that, so I don't help people find partners. Don't ask me to introduce you to a partner. I think Yuzhen is still young, you can take your time to look, and you will definitely find a good one."
