When the pears are green

After Song Yue finished eating, she sat next to Song Li and began to slowly tell her about the Jiang family.

"Sister, I didn't just eat meat when I went there, I didn't forget the important thing. I originally wanted to ask Sister Ruyi, but I was afraid that she would ask me why?" Song Yue lowered her head embarrassedly.

Song Li hurriedly comforted Song Yue: "Yueyue, you are a little girl, it is not appropriate for you to ask. Besides, this is mother's decision, and father always listens to mother. I just hope that the man is a good person." After that, Song Li wrapped herself in the sheets again.

Song Yue looked at Song Li, who was feeling a little depressed. She said anxiously, "Sister, please listen to me. I'm a little thirsty. When I come back after drinking some water, I'll tell you in detail."

Without waiting for Song Li to stick her head out from under the sheets, Song Yue rushed out of the room like a tornado, and then ran back in quickly.

Song Yue sat down next to Song Li, panting and saying, "I'm so tired!"

Song Li hurriedly stood up and patted Song Yue on the back. After patting her for a while, she said, "Why are you running so fast? Don't do that again in the future!"

Song Yue smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that my sister will be anxious?"

Song Yue paused for a moment, then told Song Li, "It's like this. After we arrived at grandma's house, grandma asked grandpa to go look for my uncle. But only brother Jixiang, my aunt, sister Ruyi, my cousin's wife, brother Ping'an, and little Zhang You were at home, and my uncle had gone to work for Jiang Dahu. My aunt asked brother Jixiang to go and call my uncle home, saying that there were guests at home. I took the opportunity to beg sister Ruyi, and sister Ruyi begged brother Jixiang, and the three of us went to Jiangjia Village together."

"What happened next?" Song Li asked Song Yue while curled up in the quilt.

"Later, we went to Jiang Dahu's house, and then called my uncle back home, and finally we came back." After hearing what Song Li said, she rolled her eyes at Song Yue, turned around and ignored her.

Song Yue smiled and lay beside Song Li and said, "Sister is really not easy to be amused now. Jiang Dahu's village is at most two miles away from our grandma's village, very close. Jiang Dahu's yard looks similar to ours, and the house is similar to ours. Jiang Dahu looks good, not as strong as a tiger, but thin, but looks very neat. On the way back, my uncle said that Jiang Dahu's father used to be a scholar, but later he got sick and stopped studying, and died a few years later. His mother also died two years after his father left, leaving only the two brothers to depend on each other, which is really pitiful. It turned out that brother Jixiang and sister Ruyi didn't know about the matter between you two. Later, when they were having dinner, they heard my uncle talk about it. They were all shocked, hahaha!"

Song Li listened to Song Yue's long chatter and had a general impression of Jiang Dahu in her heart, which made her feel a little relieved.

Song Yue went on to say, "My eldest aunt told my father that although Jiang Dahu had never been to school, he had learned a lot of characters from his father. He could not only recognize characters but also write. My father was very happy after hearing this. He was afraid that Jiang Dahu would look down on his sister!"

After hearing this, Song Li was a little bit amused and felt that she was the one being disliked. Because there was no mirror at home, Song Li also looked at her appearance on the surface of the water. Well, it was a bit ordinary. She could only be described as a pretty girl.

Everyone hopes to have a good appearance, but when your family is not strong enough to protect this good appearance, it is better to be an ordinary girl. Song Li remembers comforting herself like this at the time.

Song Li asked Song Yue to lie down as well, and covered her with a thin blanket and said, "Yueyue, you've worked hard, and you're tired after walking so much. Go to sleep quickly!"

Song Yue yawned and muttered, "He has so many calluses on his hands, they look as many as Dad's." After saying that, she tossed and turned for a few times and then fell asleep.

Having lost the protection of his parents when he was young, he must have suffered a lot in order to raise himself and his brother while keeping the family business. In this era, there are countless cases of families being wiped out.

Song Li tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She kept wondering what kind of person Jiang Dahu was.

From what Song Yue and Zhang said, Song Li roughly guessed that the Jiang family might have been well-off in the past, after all, Jiang Dahu's father was educated. But by the time of Jiang Dahu, the family had fallen into decline.

A boy who just turned fifteen was able to support his mother for three years after her death, raise his younger brother, and keep the family business. This was not something that could be achieved with the help of relatives alone. Jiang Dahu should not be underestimated.
