The Yang family was eager to find a ready-made father for their child. After much selection, they settled on Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang is now working as the shopkeeper of a hot pot restaurant in the city. How prosperous the hot pot restaurant is? Who wouldn’t be attracted to it?
Although he was a little older and he was still a farmer, he was still better than ordinary people, so he invited a matchmaker to come over and help Third Uncle Jiang arrange the marriage.
After Mrs. Jiang's family inquired about the situation, she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.
If you really marry such a woman, what will you do in the future?
If Uncle Jiang gets married and then divorces, he will be married for the second time, and his name will not sound good.
In the end, Grandma Jiang refused the marriage.
As for Uncle Jiang, he originally had a good impression of the fair and delicate Miss Yang, but after this incident, he couldn't get what he deserved. For a moment, he had no idea of proposing a marriage, which made Grandma Jiang anxious.
Uncle Jiang is already old. If it continues to be delayed, what will we do in the future?
Just when Grandma Jiang mobilized the whole family to persuade Uncle Jiang, on this day, Uncle Jiang returned to the village and suddenly told Grandma Jiang that he was willing to get married, but only to the person he designated.
Uncle Jiang's move made everyone stunned.
Grandma Jiang only wanted her son to marry a girl from an innocent family, so she said, "Son, which girl do you want to marry? As long as it is a girl from an innocent family, my mother will agree to it!"
Uncle Jiang said, "Mom, I want to marry Du Juan!"
"What?"
"I want to marry Zhao Dujuan!"
The bowl in Grandma Jiang's hand fell to the ground.
Uncle Jiang's intention to marry Zhao Dujuan was not just a joke, but he actually hired a matchmaker to propose marriage.
This move made Second Grandma Jiang angry, but there was nothing that Third Uncle Jiang could do.
Second Grandma Jiang finally said, "Don't regret it from now on. That woman doesn't have a natal family, and she doesn't have anyone to help her. She also brought three oil bottles. What will you do with your life in the future?"
Uncle Jiang lowered his head and said, "Mom, dad, I can't be a drag on the family, and I can't let the family help me support outsiders. This is my own business. After we get married, my parents can separate my family.
"
Grandma Jiang looked at the faces of her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law, and felt extremely sad.
However, after discussing with Grandpa Jiang Er, she finally agreed to the marriage.
So, more than ten days later, Uncle Jiang and Zhao Dujuan got married, and together with the Zhao Dujuan brothers and sisters, they moved into the brick house that Grandpa Jiang Er specially built for Uncle Jiang.
This house is not big, it only has one main room and two bedrooms, but it is enough to live in, and it is a brick house.
Uncle Jiang's wedding was very simple. Jiang Hexi sent fabrics, silk flowers, twenty kilograms of rice, two fish, and a piece of pork weighing more than ten kilograms.
Uncle Jiang and the shy third aunt thanked each other and wrote down the favor.
After Uncle Jiang got married, the spring sunshine finally shone warmly. Although spring in the North came later, it finally arrived.
With the arrival of spring, a new year has begun, and it is time for everyone to sow seeds.
Spring sowing is a major event. Farmers' livelihood depends entirely on spring sowing for a year.
Everyone started raising seedlings, hatching chicks, etc.
Jiang Hexi's family is also planning to raise more chickens and ducks this year. She saves chicken, duck and goose eggs and starts hatching them after the old hens have nested.
On weekdays, whenever she has free time, she takes everyone in her family to dig herb seedlings in the mountains.
Yes, she plans to plant medicinal herbs this year.
Compared with crops, after knowing the upcoming disaster, planting medicinal materials is obviously more promising.
Jiang Hexi did not plant alone. Her family only had a few acres of land, so she also persuaded Uncle Jiang and others to plant together.
The children of the Jiang family all studied together and knew medicinal materials, so they also went to the mountains to dig some medicinal materials and planted some of them themselves.
Several of Jiang Hexi's aunts' families also followed suit.
When other families in the village saw that their family was planting small "saplings" from the mountains, they felt that they were not doing their job properly.
Jiang Dazhuang looked even more disdainful. Farmers relied on crops to survive. They planted some random things. From now on, they would be hungry.
Jiang Hexi was noncommittal about this. She found a large piece of wild ginger on the mountain. Jiang Hexi was very happy. Such a large piece of ginger could be used as seeds.
She planted a lot of ginger in her mountains and crop fields.
The land allocated to Uncle Jiang was not much, only three acres. He had to support a family of five, which shows how much pressure he was under.
Jiang Hexi asked him to buy some mountain land and plant ginger as well.
Uncle Jiang trusted Jiang Hexi very much and followed him up the mountain to look for traces of wild ginger without spending any money, and planted all his mountainous areas with ginger.
These things can minimize losses when locusts come, and because medicinal materials are scarce, they can also make a fortune.
As long as you have money, you can collect food and survive when disaster strikes.
People in the mountains are restless. Even if there is no work to do, they will go into the mountains to collect some firewood.
After meeting Jiang Hexi and others digging ginger, Grandpa Jiang Er and others will also dig some and plant them in their own fields.
However, they didn't plant much, so they only dug them up and planted them when they encountered them.
Being a farmer is the hardest work. You carry a hoe to dig soil and plow the fields. After a whole day of work, your waist is so tired that you can't straighten up.
Jiang Hexi did not allow her younger brothers to be lazy. She took her younger brothers, Du Da and others to work.
The work is done day by day, and when I get home, I will definitely eat better.
Jiang Hexi brought smoked fish and smoked rabbit and cooked them for everyone to eat.
Sister-in-law Du has good cooking skills, and the rich aroma makes people feel tired.
Now is the time when the economy is lean, and it’s hard for everyone to eat enough. Smell the smell of meat, and you can’t help but smash your mouth.
"Hey, is this the Jiang family cooking again? It's so delicious."
The eldest grandson of the Chen family said, "Grandma, mother, I want to eat meat."
Mrs. Chen slapped Chen Dawa on the back and said, "Eat, eat, eat, eat as much as you want, and don't even look at anyone's meat? That damn girl is covering her up so tightly that she won't let go of any meat."
Chen Dawa looked unhappy and said, "Mom, can you go and get me a bowl of meat?"
Mrs. Chen sobbed and said, "It's all my useless old lady that makes my eldest grandson unable to eat meat. Wu Wu Wu, it's all my fault for being in poor health. It's me who's dragging you down."
Taohua sighed, "Mom, what does this have to do with you? It's all because of that girl's stinginess, every bit of it!", bit her lip, and finally said, "Son, mom, give it a try, you guys just wait until mom goes.
I'll give you some meat."
When Taohua smelled the aroma of meat, she was actually greedy.
I thought no matter what, I would give it a try.
If she can get the meat, it must be good. If she can't get the meat, then she has nothing to lose.
Immediately, she got up, went into the house, applied a thick layer of makeup, and then walked out the door.
Behind her, Mrs. Chen glanced at her back gloomily and lowered her head.
Humph, once her four eldest grandsons are raised, this slutty bitch who doesn't know her manners and seduces wild men all day long should get out of here.
Now, she is using this woman's young body to make money to support their four grandparents.
Taohua didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking. She thought that her mother-in-law was weak and couldn't do any work. Not only did she have to do the work in the fields, but she also had to wait for her to do the work at home. From time to time, her mother-in-law and her sons had to wait for her to come.
She still has to eat meat, and her life is hard.
Ouch, it is really rare for someone like her to marry her husband for the first time and not remarry even after his death.
As she walked, she was moved, and by accident, her body fell into a thick and hot chest at the corner of the alley.
Taohua subconsciously raised her head and saw the obscene-looking Sun Dahuang.
Sun Dahuang's facial features are indeed not good, and his name is not unfair. Looking at him, he looks like an old yellow dog.
However, Sun Dahuang's body is young and strong.
As long as you give a young man a hard time, say a few nice words, and give him a little sweet taste, you can always get some food.
At this time, Taohua showed a gentle smile to Sun Dahuang and said, "Brother Dahuang, oh, the tendon flesh of your body is so painful for your sister Taohua."
Sun Dahuang felt the warmth of the young and soft body on his chest, his heart was beating loudly, and he said, "Sister Taohua, where are you going? Why don't you come and sit in my brother's house?"
Peach Blossom gave a flirtatious look, took a sip of water, and said, "Sister, I have something to do!"
"It's noon, what can Sister Taohua do? Go sit in your brother's house and talk to him."
The fiery gaze of a young man seems to be able to burn people.
Taohua avoided Sun Dahuang's gaze and said warmly, "It's not like the four enemies of my family. They said they smelled the meat smell in the village and wanted to eat meat. They took pity on my four children. After they were born, their father was frail and they didn't.
I have eaten something good, but now I smell the smell of meat, and I am so greedy. I feel sad when I see it, so I can only ask if there is anyone who takes pity on us orphans and widowed mothers and can give us some meat.", said.
As she spoke, she looked straight at Sun Dahuang beside her.
Sun Dahuang is also greedy for meat. The meat tastes so delicious. It must have come from the Jiang family in the west of the village.
I don’t know how to cook it, but this meat is more fragrant than their meat.
Looking at Peach Blossom's burning eyes, he felt guilty.
He wanted to give Taohua some slices of meat, but he didn't have any at home.
Taohua looked at his twinkling eyes and sneered, then she twisted her straight buttocks and walked away more and more curling up.
Sun Dahuang looked at her back, sighed heavily, and then entered the house dejectedly.
On the other side, when Taohua passed by Zhao's house, she saw Zhao Dalang standing blankly under the eaves. She smiled and said sweetly, "Brother Dalang, what are you doing?"
When Zhao Dalang saw the coquettish little widow in the village, his eyes flashed and he said, "It's Sister-in-law Chen!"
