Candide in Chronology is on strike

It was the first time they went to the woman's house. Although they didn't know whether it would be possible, they still brought half a catty of brown sugar as a door-to-door gift on Matchmaker Liu's suggestion.

Half a pound of brown sugar is not too much at this time. At this time, people in the countryside usually give brown sugar as gifts during festivals and festivals, and they always give it in twos and twos. If you have more, you will feel distressed.

Matchmaker Liu originally thought she could catch an ox cart when she went to Liujia Village with them, but obviously, she overthought it. Neither of the two brothers Qin Jiang and Qin He knew how to drive an ox cart, and Qin Xi Not to mention.

Walking on the country road, except for the lush pine trees, there is basically nothing else to see. They are either withered and yellow, just waiting for the next year to take root and sprout, and rejuvenate, or they are bare branches with all the leaves fallen off. Wait until next spring for new buds and new branches to grow.

It was only after nine o'clock in the morning. Although there were some people in the fields, compared with the usual times when working, the few people scattered here and there were simply not worth mentioning. There was no comparison at all. How lively it was back then. ah!
Today is only the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and everyone is very free at this time. They gather together, chatting, playing cards and bragging, and there is nothing else to do.

Although the weather is still so cold this year, there is not much snow. Although the light snow has not stopped, there has never been heavy snow. The fields have not been frozen much. When spring comes, the insects hatched in the ground this year , there will definitely be more than in previous years.

If there is a drought, something may happen. The experienced farmers dug up the ground and were already worried when they saw that there were no frozen insect eggs underneath.

Families in the countryside depend on the weather for their livelihood and cannot withstand any storms.

The group of four people walked briskly to Liujia Village. Qin Xi had never been here before, which made everything she saw felt strange. Moreover, except for her two brothers, she had no other acquaintances. In this strange place, She felt that she didn't feel safe enough, so she wanted to leave, and go back to the area she had circled and thought she was familiar with. Even if she stayed deep in the woods of Chen Hui Village, she felt it was better than this.

This involves an issue of territorial ownership. The household registrations of her and her two brothers are now placed under the jurisdiction of Chen Hui Village. In other words, she is now a member of Chen Hui Village. Naturally, she belongs to Chen Hui Village. She also has a share of the woods in Chenhui Village. Doesn’t this bring about a sense of belonging?

As for this place, it was an unfamiliar place and full of strangeness, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Our Liujia Village is much bigger than your small village of Chen Hui Village. Chen Hui Village now only has a dozen educated youths, but our village has more than 20. I don't know if you know any of them."

When talking about how big her village was, Matchmaker Liu was quite proud. After all, it was normal for people living in big villages to look down on people in small villages. Why did they have so few people?

Of course, this does not mean that people in big villages live a better life than people in small villages. It depends on the person.

"No, educated youths all sign up from all over the country. How could it be such a coincidence that someone we know happens to be an educated youth here." Qin He shook his head. Although several of his brothers have gone to the countryside, they are far apart, and he is anyway. I never thought I would see them in Liujiacun.

This probability is too small, so it is better not to raise any hope.

"Well, whether you know someone well or not, it all depends on luck." I have to admit that when Qin He said that they had no acquaintances here, Matchmaker Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

My niece is a lazy person. When others gossip, it can be said that the neighbors do not see their family's easy life and deliberately criticize their family. However, if they have an acquaintance who is an educated youth in Liujia Village, then what the acquaintance says is not credible. It's very high. "Our whole family has not separated yet. Although we no longer live together, we still eat in the same big pot. My mother-in-law, Grandma Liu Mei, is still here!"

"She is the anchor of our family. As long as she is here, our family cannot be separated."

Even though she said it with a smile, in fact, only she knew how painful she was.

Doesn't she want to separate the family?

Obviously everyone has moved into a separate house and lived in their own place, but Grandma Liu was blackmailing her. She demanded that the whole family must eat together in the same pot, so that they can be like a family. As you can imagine, How tense was the relationship between their sisters-in-law.

There are too many people but too many people, too much to eat and too much to occupy. Who the mother-in-law favors and who she thinks highly of in her heart has always been the focus of their arguments. Although the relationship between the three sisters-in-law is acceptable in terms of face, who knows, the other party secretly Have you ever spoken badly about yourself?

"That's good! The whole family lives together happily." Qin He didn't know the inside story at all. Seeing the smile on Matchmaker Liu's face, he said the compliment without thinking. .

But he didn't take these words too seriously. When he thought about seeing Liu Mei soon, he felt that his whole body was getting hot. Even though he was outside just now, that is, before entering the village, Even after taking off his cotton-padded clothes, he still felt very hot.

He is currently wearing a single coat underneath and a dark blue tunic suit. He looks very good.

"Here we are, our home is in front of us. When we first built the house, we thought that the brothers would separate sooner or later, so we separated them. Although they are still next to each other, they are no longer connected."

"The house on the far left belongs to my eldest brother. The house in the middle is an old house. You can tell that it is very old. The house on the right belongs to my family. The house of the third brother's family is at the rear right. I didn't treat him badly. His house is very old. The area is about ten square meters larger than ours, so it’s quite good for growing vegetables.”

"I told you before, Liu Mei is the daughter of my eldest brother and sister-in-law. She is the fourth and the youngest. She has been sweet-mouthed since she was a child. My eldest brother and sister-in-law love her, and her grandmother also loves her. In the end, she developed a domineering temper. .”

Speaking of this, Matchmaker Liu felt that it was necessary for her to give Qin He a vaccination in advance: "Liu Mei is still a little girl, and her family is very fond of her. If anything happens in the future, I hope you can be more careful with Qin He." Be tolerant and tolerant of her, she has no bad intentions, sometimes she may just be a little willful."

Hearing this, Qin He nodded repeatedly. Although this was not the first time he heard this, every time he heard it, he seemed to see a willful little girl standing in front of him, so cute and cute.

As Matchmaker Liu told her again and again, the image of Liu Mei gradually became fuller in his mind, and his heart beat even more violently.
