Chapter 20 Marriage
That matchmaker Wang has been a matchmaker for nearly 20 years.She has never had a relationship she can't agree with, standing in the courtyard of Old Jiang's house, unwilling to leave, wanting to pass Mrs. Jiang and enter the yard directly, and kept muttering: "Sister-in-law of the Jiang family, let me in first, It’s a guest at the door. Anyway, let me beg for a drink.”

Mrs. Jiang didn't have a good face towards Matchmaker Wang, and because Matchmaker Wang was the biggest matchmaker in ten miles and eight towns, she couldn't really offend people, so she had to let her in and brought a bowl of water carelessly, " Drink it. Drink it and go quickly."

"My old sister-in-law." Wang Matchmaker took a few sips of water, "Don't you know me, what kind of mother is there in these ten miles and eight towns? There is nothing I don't know, I can come to you If Jia Dalang said kiss, she must be a good girl."

Mrs. Jiang was unmoved, "My Dalang is only 16 years old, he is still young, and his temper has not settled down. It must be done, we can't say goodbye to him now!"

This is what they have been discussing all along, and they will discuss marriage after Jiang Boyuan finishes his exams next year.

One is to avoid affecting Jiang Boyuan's exams, and the other is that they always believe that they must first establish a career before they can start a family.If Jiang Boyuan has the fame of Tongsheng, he can find a good job, so naturally he is not afraid that there will be no good girls willing to marry him.

Matchmaker Wang sat in the yard and talked earnestly for a long time. Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was not moved at all, she rolled her eyes, "This time, the only daughter of Yuan Li's family in the town has taken a fancy to your Dalang, Li There is only such a daughter in Yuanwai's family. In the future, his hundred acres of fertile land will belong to your boss?
It's just to let your Dalang be filial to Li Yuanwai for a few years before he passed away. Then Li Yuanwai is already seventy years old, how many years will he have to live?Sister-in-law, isn't this a good marriage?There are many people outside who are expecting me to tell about this marriage! "

Yang Erni, who hadn't come out of the house when she saw Mrs. Jiang appeared just now, rushed out in a hurry when she heard this, and poured a basin of water at Matchmaker Wang's feet after washing her face: "You picky woman! Why don't you tell your own son that this marriage is a good one?

Let me tell you, no matter how much property Li Yuanwai has, our family is not a shameless family living on the dowry of our daughter-in-law!Our family is not greedy for other people's property, and we don't need you to say anything about marriage to my Dalang! "

"Aren't they all the same?" Matchmaker Wang hurriedly dodged the water that Yang Erni poured over, "This is a worthless business. I don't want to come to the door. I will marry a daughter-in-law in the future. But not only do you want gift money, but you also need your big man." I have a house of my own!"

"It's as if if you don't marry a wife, my children don't need to have their own house when they grow up." Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes. ? Except for those who really sell their daughters, who would give gifts to their daughters? Isn’t it added as a dowry in the end?”

Matchmaker Wang was blocked by Mrs. Jiang and had nothing to say, "You you you" for a long time, and finally left angrily, and threatened that she would never marry the Jiang family again.

Yang Erni was full of arrogance when she splashed people with water just now, but now she looked at Mrs. Jiang with some anxiety, "Mother, did I offend that matchmaker a little too hard?"

"It's okay." Mrs. Jiang patted her hand, "You said well just now. Although our family is not a rich and powerful family, we will not do such shameless things as greedy for other people's wealth. Let Da Lang take care of you." He is good at studying, and if he passes the exam next year, he will not be afraid to marry a good girl."

Only then did Yang Erni feel relieved, she packed her things and went to work.

When we talked about the house just now, Mrs. Jiang looked around. The current house has been repaired for many years. Now the children in the family are growing up slowly, and they will always have their own house in the future.

It's just that the money in the family has to be reserved for the children to study, and as for the house, they can only make plans slowly.

Jiang Yu'an was still woken up by what happened just now. She put on her clothes with great effort, and stood at the door with sleepy eyes rubbing her sleepy eyes, not knowing what was going on with the noise just now.

After washing up, she remembered the things she got when she signed in last night. Before she had time to look at them, her consciousness sank into the space, and she saw "drinking water" clearly written in the column of unlimited supplies.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but froze.

Over the past year or so, besides the medical book encyclopedia, she has obtained unlimited supplies, seasonings, salt, sugar and other things that are more precious in this era. How could she suddenly sign up for unlimited drinking water?

In her previous life, Jiang Yu'an also read time travel novels, and she had a bold guess in her mind.

Could it be that water is about to become a scarce thing?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help raising her head to look at the sun in the sky. The sun had just risen at this moment, and the spring sunshine shone on her body, making her very comfortable.

Jiang Yu'an kept this matter in mind, thinking about finding an opportunity to ask Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, old farmers like them usually have a set of experience in judging the weather.

It is now February, and in one month it will be time for the rice to germinate.

In the afternoon, the patriarch called everyone together, saying that the county magistrate had issued a document for this year's corvee service, and that people who were "seeing the year" should prepare for it, and the official road would be repaired on February [-].

One hundred households is one mile, and one mile is divided into ten armors, and all men in each armor serve in turn, which is equivalent to serving once every ten years.

The year of enlistment is called "Jiannian", and the rest of the year is called "Patient year".

Old Jiang's family is still exempted from corvee service because of Jiang's self-examination. It's just that there are several families in the village who are "seeing the year" this year, so they have to worry about it.

Today, I love the people, light corvee and light taxation. Each time I serve corvee, I only have [-] days, and I can take a day off every six days.

After leaving the patriarch's place, those who will be in corvee this year hurried to make up for the boys and prepare dry food.

Because today is the eleventh day of February, and there are four more days to go to work, and road construction is a serious job.

Originally, this matter had little to do with Old Jiang's family, everyone just talked a few words, and heard old man Jiang talk about his early service in corvee.

Jiang Yu'an had only seen such things as corvée in history books before, so every time Jiang Yuan talked about it, she listened very carefully.

Old man Jiang was happy to see that she was willing to listen, and she was happy to speak, so the family often saw the grandparents and grandson sitting on the edge of the yard, one was talking happily, the other was fascinated by listening with his little face in his hands.

Everyone found it interesting, only a few children always looked at their sister with pity.

Especially Jiang Jiuren, who couldn't hide what was on his mind, saw his younger sister sitting on a small bench listening to grandpa telling stories for several days in a row, and finally one day he couldn't help but ran over and listened to his younger sister's ear.

While watching, he muttered, "It's okay, my sister's ears haven't grown calluses."
