Among all the girls in the surrounding area who are introduced to potential partners, none of them can be as successful as my daughter.
She was so outstanding that she was afraid that her family conditions would hold her daughter back. After all, city people looked down on rural people, otherwise everyone would want to move to the city.
If someone else introduced her to someone whose conditions were not as good as her daughter's, she would not be happy about it. But now, everywhere is suitable.
"The team is busy with the autumn harvest recently, so we can't go with you. Your second aunt and I want you to meet at the small park in the commune at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning if you are willing. We can have lunch together at noon if it's appropriate. If that's possible, we can talk about meeting your parents later.
It's okay if it doesn't fit, no one in the team knows about it anyway, so there's no need to worry about bad things being spread."
Jiang Mengxue nodded. It was fine to meet at the commune, but she was not very willing to meet at home. She was not used to being teased by others, and if it was inappropriate, it would be brought up in the future.
After saying this, Jiang's mother went back to rest. After all, she had to get up early to go to work tomorrow.
The autumn harvest is nearing its end. After two days, the team will arrange people to pay the public grain. After paying the public grain, the rest will all belong to the people.
When we were having dinner before, I heard Jiang's father and others say that after paying the public grain tax, they would distribute the food and would no longer eat in the cafeteria.
One reason is that they are afraid that after a while, people will be able to eat in the cafeteria regardless of whether they work or not, and some people will try to cheat.
Some people work hard and do more work, but when they see those who work less eat the same amount as themselves, they can't help but feel it's unfair. If this continues, who would be willing to work hard? They all eat the same amount anyway.
If we want everyone to have enough food, no amount of food will be enough, and the team leaders are under a lot of pressure.
Secondly, the winters here are too cold. Every household stays at home if possible. No one wants to go to the canteen to get food, as the food will probably have turned into ice by the time it gets home.
No one wants to run a long way to the canteen in the middle of winter in the wind and snow to get food.
It would be better to distribute the food according to work points, and each household could cook at home. It is up to them to decide how much to eat and whether the food is delicious or not. This would avoid a lot of people making complaints every day at mealtime.
After Jiang's mother left, Jiang Mengxue got up and locked the door.
It was already quite cold at night. Jiang Mengxue was afraid of the cold, so she heated up the kang in advance. Now she felt so comfortable lying in the bed.
My younger sister had already fallen asleep next to me. She originally wanted to stay alert and listen to what my mother and second sister were saying, but she was so tired that she fell asleep without realizing it.
The next morning, Jiang Mengxue woke up at around six o'clock, and her family had already gone to work.
Everyone goes to work on an empty stomach now, and the canteen will only deliver breakfast to the fields around eight or nine o'clock.
After Jiang Mengxue got up, she was not idle. She planned to take care of the vegetable garden and pull out the dead seedlings of eggplants, cucumbers and other vegetables.
Jiang Mengxue didn’t know whether it was still possible to grow anything at this time, but she was free anyway.
Everyone in the team will be allocated a vegetable plot, of course, the one in their own yard is not counted.
Most families only grow a few vegetables in their vegetable gardens, and the rest are corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things to fill their stomachs.
The Jiang family had quite a few people, and they were allocated nearly two acres of land, which was distributed in several places.
A small part of the crops are vegetables that are commonly eaten at home, and the rest are crops that can fill your stomach, also in the yard.
Jiang Mengxue went to the vegetable field not far from her home and pulled out all the dead seedlings. She also picked up the vegetables that were about to go stale and prepared to dry them into dried vegetables.
The fields were almost finished by this time, and the last eggplants and cucumbers that were harvested were not very good, but they were just right for pickling.
Winter melon and pumpkin are not old and can be stored in the cellar this winter and can be eaten for a while.
If the seedlings wither for too long and are not picked, the winter melons will become hollow inside and inedible.
After finishing all these, there are still radishes, cabbages, sauerkraut, and dried radishes. The rest will be stored in the cellar for winter consumption. It will be very busy.
These are all odd jobs. I work during the day and can only do my housework in the dark after work. I work all day and have to work overtime when I get home at night. No matter how tired I am, I have to grit my teeth and do it. These are my food for the next winter.
Jiang Mengxue was really glad that she didn't have to go out to the fields every day after coming here.
It's fun to do it occasionally, but if the livelihood of her family depends on it, she will collapse.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the pulled-out dead seedlings were spread out on the ground to dry.
I put all the picked items into a backpack and carried them home. It took me several trips back and forth to get them all back.
It’s a pity that all the usable tools have been taken to the fields, otherwise a small cart would have solved the problem in one trip. Jiang Mengxue’s shoulders were sore from carrying the tools.
When I got home, I put all my things at the door of the main room and cleaned them up when I came back in the afternoon.
I went back to the house to get some water to wash my hands and face, and then tidied myself up briefly. I didn’t plan to put on any makeup.
After all, the two of them had met before. With Jiang Mengxue's mediocre makeup skills, it would be so awkward for both of them before and after makeup.
We agreed to meet at the commune, which took less than an hour to walk. We simply ate a few dumplings and were full.
Jiang Mengxue had her hair braided into pigtails and wore a dark blue long skirt with a short jacket on the outside and small leather shoes on her feet.
