[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

Chapter 64 People are prosperous

Although the people in the village have weird ideas, you have to say that it is indeed a very good idea to marry a wife in this famine year, at least it saves money.Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about Mrs. Wang’s house next door. The speed and the price/performance ratio are definitely leveraged.

It took only three days, and with Jiao Yufeng's help in verifying the information, a 16-year-old girl was brought back quickly. Although there was also a 9-year-old boy who needed to be raised until the age of 15, who was it? I got a daughter-in-law without spending a single copper coin, and she was also a beautiful-looking daughter-in-law who was said to know a few words.

Let's talk about this girl, she is also unlucky. Her father, Yu Tou, is a child who has been taking the exam all his life, but failed to get the fame of a scholar. Even because of the exam, he even took all of the family's property into it, and her mother is still tired. All die early.But after all, the old man is not so pedantic as to be dazzled, not so stupid as to sell his children to study, and after the death of his wife, he finally has the idea of ​​raising children to support the family, although he has no hope for the future, crying It was sputtering, but I still threw away the books that I had spent all my life, and started to make money in turn.

Although this person has never done anything similar in his life, and he doesn't know how to do it, he is not stupid when he learns from others. He usually goes to the gate of the Town God's Temple to help people write letters, or finds simple tasks such as copying books. , although they don’t earn much in bits and pieces, they can be regarded as promising at any rate, plus their own daughter, oh, it’s that Yu’s embroidery subsidies, and his son can run errands in teahouses to earn some rewards. This family of three People can make do with it.

According to common sense, if this goes on like this, the old man will gradually be able to do some kind of work as a bookkeeper because of his status as a child, to improve the family, and the daughter may promise to a good family, mix some dowry, and then rely on This, slowly push the son to the road of the imperial examination.If the son lives up to his expectations, he may have a prosperous day in the future when he grows up at home.

But who made their bad luck, when the snowstorm came, the old house that hadn't been seen for many years, or the old house that could barely accommodate under the neglect of the old man who had never had the concept of building a house, suddenly came to an end. Not only that, because when it collapsed, it was facing the study of Old Yutou, and the old man subconsciously wanted to save the books he had accumulated all his life, if he was not careful, well, he was gone.

Don't look at this old man who seems to earn less and spend a lot in the past, he doesn't look like a man who has established a family, but he is gone, and the two siblings realize that life will become more difficult immediately, no Said that the house can't be lived, where else can I go, that is, the street rogues who used to be a little restrained because of the old Yutou Tongsheng's reputation have started to hang around them, waiting to finally lose their father and lose money at home When eating was a problem, Miss Yu was really worried. She was afraid that if she was not careful, her younger brother would starve to death. She still remembered the words that her father was dying and asked her to raise her younger brother.

In this way, when she heard that the neighbor next door was married to the northwest, when an aunt in the back street of Jia's family said that the Jia family taught Xijiao's family and was helping people in the village find wives, her heart was moved.

Of course, I didn't think much about other things at first, although I also thought about marrying someone to get rid of troubles, but I didn't think about marrying into a peasant family, after all, she was a child born girl, right?At that time, I only thought that living in the city would be a lot of trouble, and would it be better if I went to the countryside, so I wanted to find out about this relationship, but I was waiting to meet Aunt Wang, and let Aunt Wang's basket of introduction conditions be so low. One said, she was completely trapped by the old Wang family.

25 acres of fields?Even in the beginning of spring will continue to open up wasteland?Even if the family is separated in the future, the second son may have fifteen acres?This is not bad. These days, if you have ten acres of land, you can basically not worry about food and drink. With such a lot of land, and it sounds like you have the ability to hunt, how will life be worse in the future?No matter how bad it was, I'm afraid life would be better than when her father was around.

When Aunt Wang knew that she was Tongsheng's daughter and her younger brother had studied for a few years, she made a condition that as long as she could help teach the children in the family to read and write after she married, the Wang family would be willing to help raise them. When her brother was 15 years old, even before her brother was 15 years old, she helped them save money for the second house, and repaired the half-collapsed house in the city, so that her brother would not even have a home. no hesitation at all

The.

The half-collapsed house that is basically uninhabitable is a big problem that she has thought about a lot, and she feels hopeless. Even food is a problem. Tell me, how much money can she have to repair the house?If it wasn't for the fact that the house was the ancestral house after all, and she wanted to leave her younger brother's only property, she would really have the heart to sell the house, and it would be a headache the more she looked at it.

It's all right now, as long as there is no betrothal gift, she will completely let go of the burden of raising her younger brother, and even the house can be renovated and saved. There is really nothing better than this, what?dowry?Although his family is not a big family, girls still abide by the rules of saving dowry since they were young. No matter how difficult it was, her mother left her some things, not to mention, needlework, boxes, there are always so many things. indivual.No matter how bad it is, the books and furniture in the house can be temporarily used as a temporary place. When the house is finished in the future, the furniture will always be newly made, and the books can also be copied for his brother.

In this way, tell me, is it very affordable for Mrs. Wang to marry her daughter-in-law?Although it made the family more talkative, and it will be more than six years to save money for house repairs, but at any rate, there is no need to spend a lot of money for the time being, and the eldest daughter-in-law will not eat it anymore. The bowl of water at home is very good. smooth.

In addition to Aunt Wang, Father Zhao also successfully found a suitable wife for his son, who was nicknamed Wuzi and named Zhao Duoshou, after entrusting Jiao Yufeng and Aunt Wang.This one is even more unique, because it was married with a niece, or delivered to the door by herself.

As for why?The reason is also very simple, that is, this Zhou family, her brother died during the snow disaster, and she has no son, so the sister-in-law asked her natal family to take her back at the first time, and she is preparing to remarry to her natal family in exchange for another benefit to survive the snow disaster .However, the original small courtyard and scattered things at home have been taken over by the clansmen who have suffered a lot of losses recently and are eager to get money to buy food and repair the house.This family now only leaves a naked 5-year-old niece, and this 15-year-old girl from the Zhou family. They didn't say anything except the clothes on their bodies, and they were almost sold.If it wasn't for the wrong timing, many people died in the clan during the snow disaster, each family had a lot of things to do, and there was an issue of uneven distribution of her elder brother's inheritance earlier, so it's not sure where the two of them are at the moment. .

It is precisely because of this that the marriage is easier to talk about than Yu's. In order not to be sold to a dirty place, after hearing the news secretly from a well-meaning tribe, she hurriedly took her niece When I came to the Jiao family, I made an agreement with the old Zhao family through Mrs. Wang, as long as I help support the niece until the niece is married, she has no dowry, let alone a dowry. Look for trouble.After all, what is emphasized these days is "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker." She said to herself that she would marry her, but she was not in harmony with the rules, and it was easy to be criticized.

trouble?Who would dare to cause trouble through the marriage of the Jiao family mediator?The lintel of Lao Jia's house is still very bad at this time?Not to mention Jiao Yufeng and Jiao Da, even Aunt Wang dared to guarantee it.As long as it is passed back, not only will it be fine, but I am afraid that the elders of the two clans will obediently come to sign the marriage certificate, fool this face, and give a red envelope or something, because they can't afford to provoke them.

As for this niece?That's not a problem. The current situation in their village is obvious, that is, there are more boys than girls in the village. Under such circumstances, if there is one more future, you can see the big ones from a young age and know the character of the marriage partner. Only those who are welcome, There is no reason to refuse.As for the Zhou family?I'm afraid no one is willing to raise such a little girl.So it's very reasonable for my aunt to take her away.

With these two, it will be easier for the second grandma to find a child bride-in-law for his brother Shan.No need for Jiao Da to come forward, Wood at the gate of the city helped find an 11-year-old girl who was known in his jurisdiction, and his conduct was not bad. His only blood grandfather (Chengdong Dagengren) just died and became an orphan. .As long as you help bury the old man, the child can be taken away directly.

This family has no family property disputes, because the old man is also a property man. When he lost his son and daughter-in-law in the early years, he sold the only dilapidated shack and rented it at the gate of the camp where the soldiers spent the night at the gate of the city. , Relying on this, he managed to support his granddaughter.

It was also because he had endured for too long and his body was not good, so when the snowstorm came, although he was not

He was crushed to death, but got a cold, and finally died of illness.The soldiers were at a loss as to what to do with such a young girl who couldn't get up and down. The matter of the child bride-in-law came just right, not only did it find a way out for the child, but it also saved them trouble.For this reason, Mumu's team received unanimous praise from the surrounding subordinates.A boss who can help solve troubles, or solve troubles perfectly, is definitely a good boss.

The fourth family that needs Jiao Yufeng's help is Uncle Liu's family. How about the stone in his family? The grade is not very old, but he is only 16 years old. It is said that it is too late to find it slowly, but the problem is, this kid, he will grow up soon He is strong, looks a bit fierce, and the person who comes here is honest and a bit naive. He is usually looking for a wife, and some people have indeed disliked him for not being smart enough. As a result, the two couples are also holding their breath and want to find a good one for their son. Yes, at least it won't be someone they looked down on in the past to make do with.In this way, it is natural for Aunt Wang to find her daughter-in-law. Firstly, she does not want to let go of the good thing of picking up a little bit of cheap money. She can read and write, but she can still be regarded as a daughter-in-law in the city, and she will look better than an ugly girl in the country.

And they did find a suitable one. The girl from the Jiang family is not an orphan, and she doesn't need to bring a junior. God, for this reason, it was said that Kefu did not say anything, and several shrew relatives of the husband's family came to the door to make a fuss for several days.Although the parents of her natal family love her and know that she has been wronged, even her brothers and sisters feel that she has been wronged, but even if it is for the safety of the family, so that her sister and niece will not be troubled in the future, she has no choice but to marry out quickly, so that Eliminate effects early on.

In this way, the village in the valley is naturally suitable. Even if there is basically no betrothal gift, it is still far away, right? Even if it is said that it is their fault that the husband's family makes trouble again.What's more important is her dowry: Because of these people's troubles, several dowry furniture have been smashed, and the family can't afford to buy it again, and she is already 17. With such a reputation, she wants to wait for the impact to be less. Xunmo, there is also the possibility of becoming an old girl who cannot be married.It's better to find such a family, who doesn't care about the small dowry, and it's more convenient to go out quickly.So, this Uncle Liu’s family is considered a good bargain. After all, even if the family’s family is not rich, it is indeed a tight-knit urban family, and it is also a skilled lacquer craftsman’s family. I don't know how strong it is.

The last thing that needs to be solved is Wang Dashu from Wang Qiusheng's family. I don't know what Wang Qiusheng and his wife are thinking. Obviously, his son is only 15 years old and he is smart. Although he looks ordinary, it is not impossible to marry. The appearance of a daughter-in-law, so you are in a hurry to find a wife for your son?Could it be that Mrs. Wang stimulated her?Or do you feel that such a wide range of nets is easy to pick up cheap?Or is it anxious about the situation that there are more men than women in the village?

Regardless of the situation, the family did entrust Aunt Wang, and found a suitable 12-year-old Luo Shi.The only difference from other families is that this Luo family is a child who lost his parents and was raised by his uncle, just like sister Lin.It's just that, the character of this uncle's family is not bad. Although they may not be as good to Luo Shi as they are to their own children, because life is hard and they do a lot of work, but they are still very dedicated and support her for four years. From the age of 8 to the age of 12, even the neighbors thought that the couple of this uncle's family were not bad, and they had a good relationship with their cousins.But who made the bad luck at this time, her uncle broke his leg in the snow disaster, and the family spent all their money in order to treat the uncle, and the aunt was already worried about whether to sell the child, but the cousins, cousins, all of them were better than her. She's young, tell me, what would Roche think?Regardless of her age or blood relationship, she seemed to be the first to be sold.In the case that she doesn't want to be sold, what is more suitable than getting married?Whether using this dowry to treat my uncle's illness or support the family, it can be regarded as repaying the uncle's family for their upbringing, and it also saves me from the plight of my own, and I have my own home again.Even though the dowry may not be much because of his young age, like a child bride, this is really the best way for such a 12-year-old child to find himself.

Faced with such a situation, not to mention the emotional Aunt Wang, even Jiao Yufeng felt sad, and came to the door for the child himself, and praised the decision of the child he said he loved.

Great rewards.He is so transparent in human relationship and worldly knowledge, he knows how to repay kindness, is decisive and intelligent, if this child is a boy, even if he is at the bottom, he is afraid that he will be able to climb out of the sky.It's a pity that women in this era naturally lose too many opportunities.

Because of the appreciation, Jiao Yufeng was rare, and told the child in detail about all the situation of Wang Qiusheng's family and the temperament of the people, pointing out the future prospects of the village, with An Luoshi's heart.He also said that before Wang Qiusheng's family sent the betrothal gift, he could advance some money to help find a good doctor, go to see a doctor for his uncle, and send some food to the family, so as not to stop cooking at home, so that he muster up the courage to come. children can feel more at ease.

Looking at Luo Shi, who was relieved by his promise and full of gratitude, to be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that this child was much older than his own son and seemed a bit inappropriate, he would even have thought about taking him directly to his family. went.Such a child is really rare, and Wang Qiusheng's family really took part in the fun this time.

Connecting five families has basically solved the big problem of marriage in the village recently. Even if there are more, I don't have to worry about it for three to five years.Because basically everything on the age line has been swept away, and the next one is the biggest. . .They were actually two ten-year-old girls?Can their village girls worry about marrying?Hehe, it seems that the gap between male and female ratio has basically been solved.

Jiao Yufeng, a matchmaker, did her job very smoothly, and basically met the needs of the village. Even Aunt Wang, who came to see her so conveniently, was very happy. She only felt that this trip to the capital was quite neat and satisfying. .So on the way back this time, I walked very briskly, and even had time to discuss how those families who needed to come to discuss their wedding dates should operate, which caused Jiao Yufeng to endure the cold wind when he regained his composure. I can't help laughing at myself, this is the matchmaker's addiction.Well, but I have to say, it feels good to participate in this happy event or something. At least the village is about to prosper, right? This is definitely a good sign, especially for their village family When the life at home gradually began to get better.

Besides, without them knowing, the population of the village has also been increasing rapidly in the past few days, and the way of this increase is not very easy to say.

Maybe life in the village is better this year. Everyone knows about house repairs. First of all, there are a few more households who have come to seek refuge in this disaster, but they all have to leave. It’s nothing. some.But the remaining one is different, because they are here to settle down.Why is this?Hey, isn't it because of the hill?It's no secret that land reclamation is here, and there are no fields, no houses, no mountains nearby, and relatives in this village, so it's not like there are no people who want to fight, right?
