Miao Xianghua didn't expect that Jiang Manyue was still thinking about her uncle's family. She was very touched for a moment. Her daughter was really sensible!
"Mom, my uncle's family is close to ours and they're kind to you, so we should repay them, right? These things aren't very expensive, but they're still good gifts in our countryside. I have a few packs of cigarettes here, so I can give them to my uncles to smoke and have some fun."
Miao Xianghua was extremely happy. His daughter was thinking about her uncle's family, which was more heartwarming than bringing her a gift.
My daughter now understands the ways of the world, and she can rest assured when she lives on her own in the future.
"Come on, Mom will take you to your uncle's house!"
Miao Xianghua took Jiang Manyue and went straight to Miao's house in a heroic and confident manner.
The Miao and Jiang families lived not far away, and they arrived in just a few steps.
"Brother! Sister-in-law! My son Man Yue is back from the army! I'm here to see you with gifts!"
Miao Xianghua spoke very loudly, fearing that the neighbors couldn't hear her daughter coming to her uncle's house with gifts.
Brother Miao came out and said disapprovingly, "You're here, why are you bringing anything?"
Miao Xianghua smiled brightly, "Man Yue was thinking about you guys, so it's only right that I come back to bring you some gifts."
Sister Miao came out quickly, a big smile on her face, "Hurry, hurry, Man Yue, come in with your mother. You seem to be even more beautiful during this time you've been away."
Jiang Manyue was also welcomed in with a smile by her uncle and aunt, who asked casually, "Why are all of you at home today? Aren't you all working?"
My aunt explained that today was a holiday and a happy occasion, so their production team should also have a day off so that they could have a good rest.
Miao Xianghua also said, "It's vacation time. Your father and your brothers can't stay idle, so they took this opportunity to go up the mountain to collect firewood."
My aunt also laughed and said, "The children at home have gone out to collect firewood. Xiang Guo and his family didn't go. They are resting at home. With so many children, Xiang Guo and his family don't have to work so hard."
A few of them walked into the main room, laughing and chatting, and several other uncles also came over.
The Miao family split up but did not separate. Several families still lived together and were very lively.
"Uncle, aunt, this is the cloth I brought from Yunzhou. It's very durable and won't tear easily when worn for work. I brought a large bundle here. Just divide it up among the family. And here are these insoles, with fur on them. They keep you warm in your shoes in winter and don't take up much space. I brought a lot of pairs. One pair each for my uncle and brothers, so they'll be warmer when you go out to work in the winter."
Jiang Manyue wanted to bring some insoles for her aunts, but the luggage bag was only so big that it could only hold these.
If you put more in, people will probably start to suspect that there is something wrong with your bag and how it can hold so many things.
Jiang Manyue could only work hard on the fabric, specially rolling different patterns into it. Some patterns could only be worn by women, so the women in her uncle's family could only wear them for her.
With the dedication of women in the family today, as long as there is something good, it will definitely be given to men. If the fabrics are all in patterns that men can use, I guess none of the aunts would be able to wear them.
How could the aunts not know what Jiang Manyue was thinking, and they felt very comfortable.
He just returned from the army on his first birthday, and there was no one to help carry his things. It was a great thing that he brought back so much, and I thought it was a great thing for my uncle's family.
She actually remembered that her aunts might be reluctant to use the fabrics, so she specially added patterns used by women in their homes. How thoughtful of a child!
No wonder the elder sister-in-law loves her so much. Such a good child would be spoiled to the extreme in their family.
Although the uncles all thought Jiang Manyue was too extravagant, it was a gift from someone else and they couldn't say anything. They could only accept it and think about how to help their younger sister with some work. After all, favors should be given and reciprocated.
As they were talking, Miao's second sister-in-law remembered something and quickly told Miao Xianghua.
"By the way, Xiang Hua, isn't your fifth child still married? I went back to my parents' home a few days ago, and there was a nice girl there who was looking for someone. Does your family have any plans for this recently?"
Of the five sons of the Jiang family, only the fifth one is still unmarried, and the sisters-in-law of the Miao family are also thinking about him. This time, when Miao's second sister-in-law went back and met a nice girl, she thought of the fifth son.
"Whose daughter is she? What's she like? Is she reliable? It's time for Lao Wu to get married, but there's no suitable one in our team. I was planning to ask you sisters-in-law to help me look for one at her parents' home."
Miao Xianghua became excited when she heard this, as she was worrying about her youngest son's marriage.
Miao Ersao quickly told her about the girl's family situation. Her family conditions were not bad, and her family members were very hardworking. They were not a poor family. The girl herself was also hardworking. Although she did not go to the fields to earn work points, she could go to pick grass for pigs after finishing her housework to earn some work points to supplement the family.
Miao Xianghua thought it was a good idea, but he didn't know how much dowry the family wanted. If it was too much, the Jiang family might not be able to afford it.
But we have to get to know each other first. If she is really good, we can borrow money and get married first. There are many people in the family and more work points. After the autumn harvest, we can distribute money and grain, and we can pay her back.
"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law, to make another trip for me. If they're willing, I'll take Lao Wu with me to take a look."
Miao Ersao was very happy. She could help her nephew find a partner and she could go back to her parents' home one more time. Isn't that good?
She also thought about sending some of the fabric she had shared to her parents' home so that her parents could make new clothes.
After talking to Miao Ersao about meeting the girl, Miao Xianghua hurriedly took Jiang Manyue back. If he didn't go back, he might have to leave dinner for her.
Jiang Manyue followed Miao Xianghua out of the Miao family and asked about her fifth brother's marriage.
"Mom, don't we have much spare money at home? If Fifth Brother wants to get married, he'll probably have to borrow some money, right?"
Jiang Manyue was very clear about the situation at home. There were many laborers and many mouths to feed. It was not that they were not well fed or clothed, but the family probably did not have much spare money.
When she was still a girl at home, if any of her brothers got married, wouldn’t the family be short of money for a while?
Miao Xianghua didn't really care. Which family in the team wasn't like this? Families with multiple sons often had to borrow money for their weddings, but as long as they could pay it back, life went on as normal.
"Mom, you didn't want the money I gave you last time. Now that Fifth Brother is getting married, just think of it as asking me for a loan. There's no rush to pay it back anyway. We can wait a few years until we have more money."
Jiang Manyue mentioned the two hundred yuan she sent back. Since her mother didn't want it, could she just consider it a loan?
Anyway, the money has been given, and it's up to her whether she accepts it or not when the time comes to return it.
Miao Xianghua was also tempted after hearing this. The people in the team were also living in a tight situation, and it was not yet the autumn harvest, so it would probably be difficult to borrow money. Asking his daughter for a loan would save a lot of trouble.
"Can you use it? You can't make yourself suffer in the army!"
Miao Xianghua was still quite worried, afraid that if Jiang Manyue lent money out, she would not have enough to spend.
"Don't worry, Mom. If I don't have enough money, I can give you two hundred yuan."
Jiang Manyue's words reassured Miao Xianghua, who felt relieved and at ease. He knew that the two hundred yuan was enough for his youngest son to get married.
