Miao Liang Zhai Yaohui 4
Miao Liang inherited her mother's good looks, and her small face was not bad looking.
Aunt Miao was unhappy because her daughter was not as good looking as Miao Liang. In addition, Miao Liang had been working for the family since she was a child, and she was well-known in the production team for her ability. As
a result, when Miao Liang was fifteen years old, people in the village often came to Uncle Miao's house to ask if Miao Liang had a partner, and wanted to introduce one to Miao Liang. It didn't matter if she was young, she could get engaged first, and then get married when she was eighteen.
The first child born to Uncle Miao and Aunt Miao was a girl, who was only a few months younger than Miao Liang.
All the people who came to see Miao Liang at Uncle Miao's house trampled down the door, but Miao Lanlan, who was the same age as Miao Liang, had never been mentioned. Because of this, Aunt Miao became more and more disgusted with Miao Liang, who overshadowed her daughter. She threw all the dirty and tiring work at home to Miao Liang, and tortured Miao Liang.
Miao Liang knew all these situations.
Even if Miao Liang didn't know, someone would tell Miao Liang: "Miao Liang, I am your Aunt Li."
"Aunt Li." Miao Liang knew each other, and she often acted as a matchmaker for others, but the situation was different now. Arranged marriages and blind marriages were not allowed, and matchmaking was quite reserved.
Aunt Li grabbed Miao Liang's hand: "Look, you are a good lady, but your hands are so rough."
Miao Liang pulled back her hand: "Aunt Li, the Chairman said that working people are the most glorious. I am in the proletariat. I respond to the party's call and love labor, which is what I should do. Now, if anyone's hands are not full of cocoons, it is not called rough hands, it is called glory."
"Then why didn't your second aunt let your sister Lanlan be glorious with you?" Who doesn't know? If
the Miao family had not been poor for three generations, and if the eldest Miao had not saved the life of an Eighth Route Army soldier with his lame leg when he was alive, then the second Miao family should have been labeled as landlords just because they raised a son and a lady.
Whose girl of seventeen or eighteen years old has never worked in the fields, earned work points and supported her family, but she is still in love with Miao Laoer's daughter, who lies in the house every day and eats and drinks with the family, like a rich lady.
Bah, she doesn't want to be a matchmaker for such a girl.
If such a girl is married to someone's family, wouldn't it be a disaster for the family? Will she still have a good reputation?
"Miao Liang, listen to Aunt Li. Your second uncle's family is really not good to you. Aunt Li will find you a good family who loves you. Aunt Li is doing this for your own good."
Miao Liang smiled: "You are good to me, I know, but I think I am still young and I am not in a hurry to find a partner." If she had the opportunity, she actually wanted to read more books.
When she was young, she had no chance to study. It was Lanlan who went to school. After she finished her work, she would learn a little from her.
Later, the school was closed and the teachers disappeared one by one. Miao Liang's wish to study could not be realized. Fortunately, she heard that the production team might set up a blindness class recently, and the teachers would be the educated youth who went to the countryside. Miao Liang was very interested in this.
Miao Liang knew that although Aunt Li did it for the benefit of the matchmaker, it was also true that she did it for her own good.
But she didn't want to get married yet. She knew that once she got married, if she wanted to go to the blindness class to learn to read, the man's family would definitely not agree.
Since the educated youth came to the production team, the people in the production team especially disliked the male educated youth, because with these male educated youth, the girls in the village were unwilling to get married, and their standards became higher, and they all wanted to find clean city men. As
a result, the young wives who got married would be strictly controlled by their in-laws and ordered to stay away from the male educated youth to avoid being corrupted.
Miao Liang understood this situation.
She didn't think that the educated youth who went to the countryside were better than the men in the village, nor did she think that the men in the village were worse than the educated youth, but if she got married, she would not even be allowed to go to the blind scanning class. Miao Liang really didn't want to get married.
Life was not easy when she was producing in her second uncle's house, but after getting married, she was controlled by her husband's family. Besides having more food in her husband's house, she had to do the work she was supposed to do. So why was she in a hurry to get married?
"Miao Liang, are you looking for someone like the male educated youth?"
"No, those educated youth are not the same as us." Don't think she didn't see it. Not only the male educated youth, but also the female educated youth are like this. Look at the people in their production team. Their chins are always raised and their eyes are always lowered. Miao Liang didn't like the attitude of the educated youth.
It's not that all the educated youth are like this, but most of them are like this.
Apart from going to the blind scanning class to learn to read, Miao Liang had never had any other contact with the educated youth.
"Then what about you... Miao Liang, don't say you want to repay your second uncle or something like that? You don't know that the reason why your second uncle has such a good life now is all because of what your father gave him. Without your father, how could your second uncle have the house and money to marry a wife and have children? Also, your father lost his money because he was digging ginseng. Your second uncle has not raised you in vain over the years."
In fact, Aunt Li did the math for the second uncle Miao.
In raising Miao Liang, this niece, not only did the second uncle Miao not lose money, but he also made a lot of money.
Miao Liang started to help the second uncle Miao with work when she was five years old. First, she took care of her younger brothers and sisters at home, and then washed the clothes of the whole family.
Except for cooking, all the work at home was done by Miao Liang alone.
Of course, Aunt Miao never let Miao Liang do the work on the stove. It was not because she felt sorry for Miao Liang's young age and her small body was barely taller than the stove. She was worried that Miao Liang would spoil the food, and she was afraid that Miao Liang would eat first while she was cooking.
Therefore, all the work at home could be given to Miao Liang, except this one.
This led to Miao Liang being able to do all kinds of work, but not cooking, because when she was enslaved in Uncle Miao's house, she had no chance to cook. After getting married, Grandma Zhai was still alive, so Miao Liang didn't need to do it. When Grandma Zhai passed away, with the conditions of the Zhai family, there would already be an aunt to help with the work at home.
In this way, Miao Liang did not dare to work less, and did not dare to eat more. Apart from the ginseng, the work points that Miao Liang earned from working for Uncle Miao's family over the years were more than enough to support herself.
So Uncle Miao really had no favors towards Miao Liang.
Not to mention that Uncle Miao's own daughter Miao Lanlan was raised like a landlord's daughter, and Miao Liang became a little maid beside Miao Lanlan. When she grew up, Miao Liang washed all Miao Lanlan's clothes.
Miao Liang was obviously the elder sister, but she always wore the rags that Miao Lanlan didn't want.
After Uncle Miao got the ginseng for free, he also had a servant who helped with the work for free.
It was a bit unpleasant to hear, but who could say that it was the truth?
