Parents are busy farming

After Erlang Jiang and his parents went home that day, the three of them discussed matters behind closed doors.

When the elder sister-in-law of the Jiang family saw them coming back, she hid in the house and felt very uncomfortable. She always felt that they were plotting something.

So I went to find the old lady of the Jiang family.

'snort! If he doesn't want her to listen, there's no way he can know? ’

In the room, Erlang from the Jiang family had already spoken, "The Lu family girl said one thing after she asked me out. I think this matter is more important, so I will discuss it with you when I come back."

Mr. Jiang was a little curious and asked him: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Erlang replied: "The old man of the Lu family relapsed because he heard that there might be a drought this year, so he got excited and relapsed. And I heard from Miss Lu that the drought would last more than one year."

When Jiang's parents heard this, they sat up straight unconsciously.

This is a life-threatening matter and cannot be taken lightly.

"Where did they get this information? Is it reliable?" Mother Jiang asked eagerly.

There was also a hint of panic in his expression, and he unconsciously used strength to hold Father Jiang's hand.

Jiang's father did not bother to help his wife's hand away, but motioned for Jiang Erlang to continue.

"Miss Lu said that this news was released by the girl named Ye Zifen. I heard that people close to her have known some of the news, and now they are hoarding food! Recently, I also heard from our shopkeeper that food seems to have increased. price trend!”

"Then do we also need to store some food?" Jiang's mother immediately looked at Jiang's father.

Jiang's father calmed down and asked Jiang Erlang thoughtfully, "Miss Lu only said this one thing, is there anything else?"

"The marriage of Mr. Lu of the Lu family has been brought forward. Miss Lu wants to ask if my marriage with her will also be brought forward. If the drought really comes, then..."

Jiang Erlang paused for a moment when he said this, and then said: "It seems that the situation of the old man of the Lu family is not very good, otherwise the eldest uncle of the Lu family would not be in a hurry to get married. If there is something wrong with the old man of Lu, Miss Lu needs to After observing mourning for one year, coupled with the disaster, it is estimated that our marriage may indeed be far away."

Father Jiang looked at Jiang Erlang, "What do you think?"

In fact, since they are men, it is okay to get married a few years late, but it is not okay for the girl's family.

The problem is that they don't know if a drought will actually happen, and if so, how long it will last.

If the time is too long, families like theirs will not be able to survive for too long, and they may need to flee.

If the son gets married now, he will have some relationship with the Ye family, and he might be able to borrow some help some time.

Jiang Jiaerlang licked his lips and said: "Our family spent a lot of money to buy that house, almost all of our savings. If there is another disaster, my family's life will probably be even more difficult."

Mother Jiang said at this time: "You mean not to get married now? That's okay. Miss Lu is still a little young, and you two can't get married at this time... You can wait a few more years."

There is another thing that Mother Jiang did not say, that is, the elder sister-in-law of the Jiang family is not pregnant yet. If the second son gets married at this time, it will bring a lot of psychological pressure to the elder brother of the Jiang family.

Seeing that Jiang Erlang was still hesitating, Jiang's father asked again: "But is there anything else you haven't finished saying?"

Jiang Erlang was still a little hesitant, but seeing that the two people here were his biological parents, he chose to tell the truth.

"I heard from Miss Lu that the old man of the Lu family forced Miss Lu's uncle, Mr. Ye, to take charge of Lu Zili's marriage the night he fell ill. It seems that he was also responsible for Miss Lu's dowry. Mr. Ye's family is relatively wealthy. If we get married at this time, then …”

Hearing this, Jiang's father's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Jiang's mother.

"Son, what do you think? Don't hesitate, say it all."

Mother Jiang seemed to have noticed some thoughts in her second son's mind, and she did not allow him to back down any longer and directly made it clear.

"I was thinking that my marriage to Miss Lu should be settled in advance. Didn't my mother once say that I would live alone after we got married? When we get married, we will store our own food and the pressure on the family will be less. .”

Father Jiang frowned, "But you also need money to get married!"

"According to emergencies, there are naturally some things that cannot be taken into account too comprehensively when the marriage is arranged in advance. And I found that Miss Lu is a very hard-working person, so her life in the future will not be too sad. If Mr. Ye gives Miss Lu a large dowry, Maybe we can get through this time easily.”

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang hesitated. Although their son's idea was not fair and aboveboard, what they heard from his son was that Miss Lu wanted to get married as soon as possible.

Miss Lu's idea was not wrong. After all, there was a real disaster. Their marriage was delayed again and again. There might be some unexpected situation in the future, and she would be the one to suffer.

"You have to make your own decision on this matter. If you are willing to get married, your parents will give you some more money. In addition, during this period, we will also prepare some food to store. We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Jiang Erlang said: "I plan to dig a new cellar in the newly bought house and put the newly bought grain in it. As for us, we don't want it here! We have too much eyes and too many mouths."

Jiang Erlang was very dissatisfied with his sister-in-law. If she accidentally leaked the fact that the family had food, then in the future...

Mother Jiang seemed to have taken this into consideration, "You are right. The food we buy at home must be sent to you. We only keep what we need for daily life here."

"As for when I get married, I will treat the girl from the Lu family well. I don't want to miss such a good girl and such a good family. If I can gain connections with the Ye family, maybe I can open a shop of my own in the future."

Seeing that his son spoke frankly, Jiang's father said nothing more and said to Jiang's mother: "You can find a matchmaker to talk to the Lu family tomorrow. After the two families are on good terms, we can discuss the wedding date!"

The three Jiang family members have already discussed a result.

When Jiang Erlang opened the door and was about to go out, he saw his sister-in-law walking towards him while supporting his grandmother.

He turned back to his parents and said, "My sister-in-law is helping my grandma over."

This was a reminder, and the Jiang family's parents frowned, but they soon recovered.

Jiang Erlang stepped forward and held Mrs. Jiang's other hand, "Grandma, how come you are here? If you need anything, call me over and I will send you a message!"

"You just came back from your father-in-law's place. It's hard work. I came here just to ask how the old man of the Lu family is doing?" Mrs. Jiang walked into the house with a smile, supported by Sui Zi.

Jiang's father and mother came out to greet him.
