Chapter 248: Woman in Manhood: Technology in the 70s and 80s 02

"Don't worry, you will definitely get married. Look at the girl from the next village, she drools all day and she's married."

"Brother, why are you comparing me to a fool?"

Jiang Lan didn't bother to pay attention to her. She ate a few mouthfuls of porridge with salted vegetables and went back to the house.

[Host, how does it feel to become a man? ]

[I've always DISSed men, but now I can't DISS myself. ]

Jiang Lan: Let me correct you, I've never DISSed any man. The ones I DISSed are scumbags, not normal men, thank you!

[That's right, the host has a very positive outlook. ]

Jiang Lan also thinks that her outlook is very positive, but she is always inexplicably involved in plots with incorrect outlooks.

The original owner has always lived in a sweet and cute world with Jiang Tian as the protagonist. In the eyes of Jiang's parents, whatever Jiang Tian does is right, and there is no point in him arguing.

In this era, ordinary people use kerosene lamps for lighting. Not only is the light dim, but they also have to be used sparingly.

Jiang Lan looked at the sparks that were clearly extinguished, and missed his space ring.

The next day, he got up early.

"Jiang Lan, there is enough firewood at home, but there is almost no firewood. You can go to the mountain to pick up some pine needles or dry grass."

"Got it."

Breakfast is porridge with salted vegetables, and this porridge is really too thin.

Jiang Lan stirred it with chopsticks, and there were really few rice grains.

The seventeen-year-old boy is in the critical period of puberty development.

It is the time of growth, and it is easy to get hungry. This little food is not enough.

Among all the people in the Jiang family, Jiang's father is the main money-maker and cannot be hungry.

Jiang's mother is the chef and will not be hungry.

There are two people left. Jiang Tian is the baby of the two elders. Not only does she not get hungry, but she also has eggs as an extra snack every day.

This family has the nerve to starve Jiang Lan. He is the only one in the family who is not full.

The original owner is also a kind person. He is so thin that he is just a skeleton, but he never complains.

Jiang Lan picked up a backpack and went up the mountain to pick up dry grass. When there was no one around, he started climbing trees to get bird eggs.

He didn't kill them all. He only took a few eggs with weaker breath from each bird's nest, leaving only those with stronger vitality.

After eating all the bird eggs on the mountain, Jiang Lan went down the mountain with hay on his back. He didn't feel any pressure to eat alone.

When Jiang Lan came in with the basket on his back, Jiang Tian had just gotten up, and Jiang's mother was serving her porridge.

He noticed that Jiang Tian's bowl of porridge was much thicker than his previous bowl, and Jiang's mother also stuffed an egg into her bowl.

Jiang's mother saw Jiang Lan coming back and immediately greeted him.

"Jiang Lan, you're back. Put the dry grass in the yard to dry. It's better for kindling when it's dry."

"Brother, why did you go up the mountain to carry dry grass? Don't we have dry straw at home?"

Jiang Tian really doesn't look like a child raised by an ordinary family in a rural commune. She actually asked such a stupid question.

What's the difference between this and why not eat meat porridge?

Poor people need to be thrifty to make a living. This dry straw can be used to make beds and straw sandals.

Jiang's father usually wears straw sandals when he goes out to work. He does have cloth shoes, but he is not willing to wear them, let alone rubber shoes that require money and tickets to buy.

"What are you talking about? Your brother is a grown man, what's wrong with him going out to do some work?"

You see, Jiang Tian is like this, it's just a family habit.

Jiang Lan is too lazy to say more, you just pamper Jiang Tian, ​​anyway, he won't let her step on him to get to the top.

The original owner was a silent person, and the Jiang family didn't take the trouble to get to know him.

Now that he has changed his mind, they don't feel it.

Jiang Lan is not welcome in the Jiang family, but he is still very popular in the community.

He looks fair and clean, hardworking, and his academic performance is okay.

Everyone envies the Jiang couple for having such a proud son.

Compared with Jiang Lan's sensibleness, Jiang Tian is much inferior.

Jiang Tian is good-looking and well-developed, with a curvy figure, much prettier than those skinny girls in the village who are tanned by the sun.

Seventeen is also the same age as a flower, and there are always many boys staring at her when she walks through the village road.

There are indeed many boys in the village who are attracted by Jiang Tian's beauty, but their parents are not stupid.

It is no secret that Jiang Tian is lazy and greedy, and her academic performance is poor. Anyway, she doesn't seem to be very smart.

Jiang's mother thought that others dared not marry Jiang Tian, ​​so there was no one to help her find a partner.

In fact, the truth is that no one likes Jiang Tian and no one wants such a daughter-in-law.

Compared with Jiang Tian, ​​everyone's evaluation of Jiang Lan is much higher.

Many families were eyeing him, and matchmakers of all kinds always rushed to act as matchmakers.

"The Jiang family, the daughter of the Li family said that she has set her sights on Jiang Lan, and she doesn't want the betrothal gift, and she also brought 500 yuan and a bicycle as a dowry."

Jiang's mother took a breath of cold air, this daughter of the Li family was too generous.

This was not marrying a wife, but marrying a golden child.

"The Li family is the first in our village to live in a brick house. This condition is not only in our commune, but also in the surrounding areas. There is no such good one."

The matchmaker said earnestly, "Jiang family, if you miss this village, you will miss it. You must hurry up, because there are many people eyeing the Li family."

Jiang's mother hesitated, "But my son still has to take the college entrance examination."

The matchmaker smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It would be best if he passes the exam. If he fails, this matter will be more stable."

It must be said that Jiang's mother was really moved this time, so much so that she was absent-minded for the whole day.

At night, she tossed and turned in bed, trying Jiang's father's attitude.

"What kind of person is the child's father, the eldest daughter of the Li family in our village?"

Father Jiang worked all day and was so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting. He said perfunctorily, "I don't know."

"If your family is married to the Li family, then we don't have to worry about Jiang Tian's college living expenses, what do you think?" Jiang's father

answered her with a loud snore.

Mother Jiang already had the answer in her heart, and Jiang's father's opinion was not so important.

A few days later, when Jiang Lan came home from vacation, Jiang's mother deliberately mentioned the Li family's affairs at the dinner table.

Jiang Lan was also drunk. When she was a girl, she had to be arranged to marry.

Now that she has become a man, why can't she get around this kind of bullshit.

Maybe Jiang's mother felt guilty and didn't dare to mention it directly to Jiang Lan himself, but discussed it with Jiang Tian privately.

"Tian, ​​what do you think of the Li family in our community?"

"Mom, the Li family is better off than most families in our community. We drink porridge every day, but I heard that they eat rice every day."

Jiang Tian sipped her lips and her face was full of envy.

Jiang's mother felt a little sad and felt that she had treated her daughter badly.

"What's there to envy? You will marry into a good family in the future, and you will have delicious food and drinks. What's the point of rice?"

Jiang Tian rolled her eyes and gave some advice.

"Then find a rich wife for my brother. After my sister-in-law comes into the family, our family will also benefit."

This hit Jiang's mother's heart, and she felt more and more that her daughter was the most caring little cotton-padded jacket.

"You silly child, if your sister-in-law is powerful, aren't you afraid that she will bully you?"

Jiang Tian shook her head, "That's impossible, I have my parents to protect me, who dares to bully me. Besides, can a daughter-in-law be more powerful than her mother-in-law? My brother is so filial."

Jiang's mother felt that what Jiang Tian said made a lot of sense, and it eliminated all her worries.

In-laws like the Li family are hard to find even with a lantern, so don't miss it.
