After dinner and cleaning up, we chatted briefly and then went back to our rooms to rest. The children were especially tired after a day of work and began to doze off after dinner. They went back to the room and climbed onto the kang without even taking a bath.
It is autumn harvest time now. We can let everyone go home a few hours earlier today because everyone has been working very hard recently, so we want to give everyone a break.
You know, during the critical time of autumn harvest, everyone goes to work in the fields before dawn at three or four in the morning, and returns home at seven or eight in the evening.
Time is food, and food is life.
Many people have experienced hunger, so even those who are usually carefree will go to the fields to harvest at this time.
Jiang's mother divided the remaining mooncakes among the family, and left two for her daughter to take back to her room to eat.
Jiang Mengran was surprised to see the cotton on the kang when she returned to the house.
"Sister, did you go to the commune today?"
"Yes, the weather will get colder soon, so it's time to make some cotton-padded clothes. I also bought you some hairbands."
Jiang Mengran thought about how her sister had bought so many things for her this time and she didn't know how much it would cost. She didn't know whether she should accept them or not.
"Sister, where do you get so much money? You have to give money to parents every month. Is the remaining money enough for you to use in the city? You don't have to buy things for me. I have clothes to wear."
Jiang Mengxue sighed that her younger sister was quite good, at least she was worried about her sister.
I felt a little regretful before, wondering if it was a mistake to bring her to the city.
The main reason is that I'm afraid that she will only want to find a rich man and will have no bottom line or principles.
Now it seems that the little girl just couldn't stand the hardships of living in the countryside.
But what does it matter? It’s not something that can’t be said.
If she wasn't like this herself, it would be too difficult to live a life of hard work.
"Don't worry, I've saved some money over the past few months, so I still have this little bit."
After a long while, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Mengxue was already in bed, so she asked Jiang Mengran to get up and open the door.
Jiang Mengxue got up and lit the kerosene lamp, and sure enough, she saw that it was Jiang's mother who came in.
Since returning yesterday, Jiang's mother has not had time to chat with her daughter.
I can't see him during the day, so I can only come over to talk at night.
"Mom, come and sit on the kang. Why don't you go back to your room to sleep?"
"Don't rush to sleep, I still have something to ask you."
Jiang Mengran looked curious and didn't know what her mother was going to ask. However, she had no say at home, so she sat on the kang next to her and sorted out the things her sister bought for her.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Jiang Mengxue had already guessed what her mother was going to say. It was an inevitable topic for someone of this age who was still unmarried.
"It's your marriage, isn't it? What's going on? Is there anyone suitable? Your sister is the same age as you and is almost 20 now. If you don't find a partner, how will your sister find one?"
Sure enough, they are urging me to get married again. Although I was mentally prepared before I came back, I don’t know how to respond now.
It’s not very realistic to say that there is such a person. After all, there is no such person and he cannot appear later.
Say no, she had already anticipated what her mother wanted to say next. It was nothing more than someone introduced her to a date, and that person must be good, otherwise her mother would not come to test her.
After thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth. It’s not good to keep dragging this kind of thing on. After all, there is a younger sister. If the older sister never gets married, the younger sister’s marriage will inevitably be affected.
Besides, she is not a person who does not want to get married. She is willing to get married if she meets the right person.
"Mom, I've been so busy with work lately that I don't have time to date. What's going on? Has anyone introduced me to someone?"
Jiang's mother didn't expect that her second daughter would be so frank this time. She thought she was going to say a few random words to fool her.
"Yes, that's the guy your second aunt came to tell me about today. He's the young man I met yesterday. He's your second aunt's nephew, and he's serving in the army.
Originally I didn't want to agree. We were from the same village, and I knew a little about his family's situation. His parents were both soldiers, and he himself joined the army when he was a teenager. He only came back once in all these years, and that was to come with his parents to pay homage to his grandmother.
If you find a partner like this, you will have to follow him to the army. How will you manage your job? Besides, you will be so far away from home and you won’t have anyone to support you if you get wronged. I’m worried too.”
Jiang's mother sighed. On the one hand, she wanted her daughter to find a good marriage, but on the other hand, she didn't want her daughter to marry too far away so that she wouldn't see her for many years.
Jiang Mengxue was helpless: "If you don't want to, why are you telling me? What if I fall in love with you and insist on marrying you far away?"
Mother Jiang glanced at Jiang Mengxue.
"What else can I do? I'll just let you get married. I can't let it become an enmity."
After saying this, he couldn't help but recall the appearance of Gu Qingbei he saw yesterday. He was handsome and tall.
"Except for the fact that his home is too far away, this child is quite good in every way. He is tall and good-looking, and his family is well-off. It would be a shame to let him go."
After Jiang's mother finished speaking, she saw something strange in the eyes of her two daughters, and then she realized what she had said.
He tried to make amends, "Ah, no, I mean it's a pity to miss it, haha."
Jiang Mengxue wanted to laugh. She didn't expect that Jiang's mother was also a face control.
