Chapter 80 The Second Brother’s Marriage

"It seems to be Aunt Shi!"

Jiang Dehua's ears were bright and he said directly, then got up and opened the door.

"Ouch! You are eating!"

Aunt Shi came in and saw them eating, and said with a smile.

"Auntie, I have steamed white flour buns today. Come and try some!"

Zhang Guilan took a steamed bun and handed it to Aunt Shi.

"I just ate it and stopped eating it! I've been eating white flour steamed buns for the past two days. Our family has harvested a lot of wheat this year. The boy from Daniel is greedy. He said he wanted to eat pure thin noodles and there was a lot of grain, so he let him Satisfy your craving!"

Aunt Shi smiled.

Zhang Guilan saw her refusal and didn't give in. Shi Daniu's family had indeed harvested a lot of wheat this year, and many people in the village were envious and commented.

"Auntie is lucky, a great man is capable, and life will be good in the future!"

Zhang Guilan smiled and said, of course he was telling the truth.

"Thanks to your family's blessing, Defu always gives advice to that boy. Now he listens to his brother Defu the most. Earlier, he was just a boy with half his life, so impulsive. In the past two years, he has really become like an adult. I am a temporary He is old and enjoys the blessing of children. His damn father was not so lucky and would have died long ago!"

Aunt Shi rambled.

Young people often think about the future, and old women like to recall the past.

In his previous life, Jiang Defu's grandfather liked to recall things from those earlier years.

Nowadays, he likes life in the countryside very much, because he feels that there is the shadow of his grandfather here. Aunt Shi and the others like to chatter, but Jiang Defu feels warm when they listen.

They finished their meal quickly and served saccharine tea to the second aunt.

Jiang Defu couldn't say whether this thing was good to eat or not. He made this by mistake, but the people here liked it very much. They regarded this thing as precious, and they would only use it unless they were distinguished guests.

Since last year, the food harvest in the village was good. Once people are full, they will pursue some extra enjoyment.

After some people drank saccharin water at Jiang Defu's house, they wanted to get some to drink. Especially in summer, the cold deep well water mixed with saccharin is definitely a great tool to relieve the heat.

Of course, when those people asked for it, they didn’t mean it was free, they said they didn’t know where to buy it and wanted to buy some.

Jiang Defu knows this thing best about human nature.

Just tell me that this thing was bought by relatives in the city, and those people will naturally ask for help.

Now Jiang's house has become a sales point for saccharin.

Saccharin doesn’t cost much. According to what Jiang Defu’s grandfather told him about when he was young, saccharin is sold in granules, and a few dozen granules packed in a paper bag is enough for a family to use for a long time.

Jiang Defu didn't set a price, but he would exchange five eggs for one portion.

It’s not that he wants eggs too much. Now there is a small yard in the front yard of his house dedicated to breeding. There are more than 40 chickens in the house. The eggs are enough to eat, and there is no need to buy salt at home anyway.

Some time ago, we got two little piglets from the market to raise. If nothing goes wrong during the Chinese New Year this year, we should be able to have a pig-killing feast.

Although the new coins are now circulating in the town, and some people have some in their homes, there are still very few in general.

In villages, especially mountain villages like Jiang Defu's, barter exchange is still practiced most of the time.

In addition to the fact that most families are basically self-sufficient and it is inconvenient to go to the town, there is another very important reason why banknotes are not popular in the village, and that is that the smallest denomination of this version of banknotes is one yuan.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the above. This banknote was actually issued 1 years ago. At that time, some places were still experiencing inflation, and the amount of currency issued was relatively large, with a currency value of [-] yuan.

It's just that there is no currency value as small as one cent.

Nowadays, all places use this currency value. After unification, prices gradually stabilized, because the issued currency value is not much, and it even looks like deflation.You can even buy a lot of things for just a few cents, but because you don’t have change, you often have to make up the whole amount, which is very troublesome and wasteful.

Most people in the countryside still mainly barter. If they have to buy something from a supply and marketing cooperative, they can simply sell some things and exchange them for coins before buying.

When selling things in the countryside, grain and eggs are actually common currencies these days. These two things are needed by people in the city who have a stable job, and they have money in their hands.

"Decai, I've harvested all the wheat. I'm free these days, and my niece is free when she comes to my parents' house. You guys should take a look. When they come over the day after tomorrow, you guys can talk and they can come and see what the house is like."

When Mrs. Shi lost one of her front teeth and drank saccharin water, she drank a bowl happily and said directly.

"aunt!"

Jiang Defu gestured in panic.

"Second brother, this is great. You can finally marry a wife. Madam, can I follow you?"

Jiang Dehua shouted excitedly.

Jiang Defu was a little surprised. He knew that Aunt Shi was going to introduce a wife to his second brother, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"Auntie, I...I don't want it!"

Jiang Decai continued to gesture.

"Decai, look at your age, you are still ashamed! Hahaha! What are you afraid of, kid! People who are similar to you in the village now have two children!

It's not easy for you. In the early years, it was difficult to delay your family! "

Aunt Shi sighed.

"Auntie, I...I don't want to have a wife!"

Jiang Decai refused again.

"Second brother?"

Jiang Defu thought his second brother was embarrassed at first, but now he looked very serious, as if he really didn't want to go on a blind date.

Why is that?
"Decai, don't you think you can't speak because you're afraid that others won't agree?"

Aunt Shi asked directly.

"I'm telling you, kid, you don't have to worry about this at all. My niece is also a poor person. Her parents are gone, and her brothers haven't come back from the war. She lives with her uncle and sister-in-law, and there isn't enough food at home. His uncle and sister-in-law don't have enough food either. Being a real person, I thought of introducing her to her husband's family.

His family doesn’t ask for much, just two bags of grain. That girl is also a down-to-earth person, quick at work, and doesn’t have much to do. Your family is so prosperous now, and their family must agree. As long as you are willing, aunt can do it directly Make a decision! "

Aunt Shi said, patting her chest.

Aunt Shi returned to her parents' home a few days ago and gave some food to her brothers, which made everyone envious.

Shida's family has always been a poor family. In the early years, her brothers helped her family, but now they even send food to her family. Looking at her expression and clothes, she has become a wealthy family.

After asking, I found out that Shi'ao Village had a bumper harvest this year and the crops in the fields were growing well.

However, regarding the matter of manure, Shi'ao Village remained silent. Liu Mulin had already warned this matter at the village meeting that anyone who leaked the information would be directly expelled from the collective manure company in the future.

However, there was plenty of food in Shi'ao Village and news of the family's prosperity spread around. Nowadays, the young men in Shi'ao Village have no worries about finding a wife.

"Decai, what are you looking at Gui Lan for? Do you want to hear Gui Lan's opinion? If Gui Lan wants to find one, I actually have a good matchmaker here!"

Aunt Shi said suddenly.
