Chapter 464 464. Shengzi
Such a gossipy sentence quickly attracted everyone's attention, so some people immediately expressed their opinions.
“Where did it come from? She looks like a young girl, why can’t she think about it?”
“Ah, you didn’t buy it, did you?”
"What did you buy? If the girl is from Shannan, I'm willing to marry him!"
“Impossible! Lao Zheng is turning 40 this year. If he really has this ability to coax people, why would his first two wives have to get divorced even if they live and die?”
Old Zheng is a well-known bachelor in his village. He was married when he was twenty years old, but after only half a year, his new wife quit, saying that he had no future and wanted a divorce.
Divorce was not popular at that time, and neither of them provided proof. As soon as the burden was collected, the daughter-in-law went south to work directly.
Two years later, the matchmaker in the village introduced another person, a widow. He thought that since both of them were poor, they should not dislike each other for being hopeless...
After only two years, the widow stopped working.
The family has found a better one, and now she is remarrying to Pine Tree Town, which is further away.
It's good now. I heard that the girl from Shannan is only in her early twenties. Why is she so determined to fall in love with Lao Zheng?
Everyone was chattering away, and their voices were so loud that you could hear them even standing on the road, let alone entering the yard.
By the time Qiao Qiao walked slowly over, he could almost understand the background of the story.
Qiaoqiao broke into the courtyard for no apparent reason:…
Everyone in the live broadcast room who was halfway through eating the melon:…
【You say it! Old lady, you are right! 】
【That’s right! Why? Why did you only say half of it? 】
【Good guy, watermelon is not for sale, so you have to eat it whole】
【Quick, quick, quick! Ask quickly! Why! 】
And the old man and old lady in the yard here looked at Qiaoqiao with great enthusiasm:
“Is Qiaoqiao coming?”
"Look at how hot it is, how red your face is...go drink some water quickly."
“Qiaoqiao, why do you have to carry a high profile when you go to your grandpa’s place?”
“Oh, are you taking a video?”
“Take a video? I’ll take one for you, Grandma Wang, just a hard-working and simple one…”
"Wang Juhua! Are you still working hard? You are the only one who can talk. Can you do as much as me?"
“You work with your hands and don’t use your mouth. It’s not easy for you to work by yourself, and you think others are as easily distracted as you are…”
Seeing the two old ladies choking again, the barrage became more and more exciting!
【Let's fight, let's fight! 】
【Although it is very immoral...but it would be really fun if we started fighting...】
【Wow, is this the working environment in rural areas? 】
【There are no secrets in the village, there are so many melons—】
【At this moment I am the 猹 of the melon field】
It's a pity that except for Zhang Yanping who took a moment to look at Taotaobao, no one would watch the barrage at all.
Song Youde was no longer surprised by all the excitement, and instead asked Qiao Qiao: "What are you taking pictures of?"
Qiaoqiao pointed to the half-woven straw mat in his hands:
“We’re halfway through the filming of brewing, and we have to wait, so we’re going to do the live broadcast of weaving straw mats first.”
“Okay, then you can shoot—”
Song Youde pointed to the wall: "Just put it there, okay? Anyway, as long as you can take a picture, you can take a rest."
"oh."
The barrages in the live broadcast room were scrolling one by one, and the scene was particularly intense. Fortunately, everyone in the courtyard lived up to their expectations—Grandma Wang, who had just raised the subject before, said again:
“…Shannan is a poor place. Young people today don’t even know it. In the past, many people liked to go there to buy wives.”
When she said this, she suddenly said "Oh" again, and looked at Qiaoqiao's direction warily and nervously: "I won't be photographed when I say this, right?"
“What are you afraid of? I watched the Douyin video that my daughter-in-law made. Before posting it, I had to edit it with my phone and set it to music. There was no sound at all.”
"Oh, oh, oh." Grandma Wang lowered her voice again to create a sense of mystery: "Oh, our village doesn't have it. It's so worthless to spend money to buy someone else's house... I'm not bragging about our village, it's really good."
“That’s that’s that…”
When I mentioned my hometown, everyone was full of praise again.
However, Grandma Wang is telling the truth.
In the past, marriage didn’t require a house or a car. It only depended on whether the young man was willing to work and whether the family could get along well...
Their Yunqiao Village is really pretty good.
Even the lazy guy who everyone looked down upon was not at this level.
Grandma Wang sighed:
“But it wasn’t like I didn’t have many requirements at that time. I remember that my eldest son wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and the matchmaker brought the girl to see her.”
"The rules at that time were that you had to take people to the granary to see whether the grain stacks were high or not. Oh, you also know that my family really had no money at that time. I was very poor. I relied on seven relatives We scraped together three sacks.”
“At least I don’t mind it. The famine had just ended at that time... I just made do with it.”
Qiaoqiao was sitting on the porch after drinking water. She was listening obediently. When she heard this, she asked, "Why do you want to look at the grain stack?"
"Because at that time, you couldn't buy anything with money, and the tickets were very few, so food was the hard currency." Song Youde sighed. There was no information in the mountain village. He still had a stack of tickets, but he didn't have time to use them.
“The availability of food is a measure of whether a man can support his family.”
oh. Qiao Qiao understood.
I also understand the barrage.
【Increased knowledge! 】
【This live broadcast is not a loss! 】
【I just asked my mother, and she said this was the rule here before. 】
【I am here too, my mother said she was deceived miserably - my grandfather was in charge at the time, and there was a lot of food in the house, but they were not given to eat, so they all relied on saving】
At this moment, someone weaving straw mats outside laughed:
“Wang Juhua, you could still borrow three sacks at that time. As for the Lao Zheng you just mentioned—”
Old Zheng is only forty years old, and he is really a junior compared to those here. However, the whole village calls him this, and everyone follows suit.
"I remember that when he first married a wife, he couldn't afford a grain of rice at home. He went around and around to borrow a liter from his aunt."
“The matchmaker took the girl into the granary and saw that she couldn’t even feed a mouse, and her face turned black.”
Qiaoqiao turned into a little question mark again: "What is Shengzi?"
Song Youde gestured: "We were poor before. The whole brigade only had one steel scale, and every time we wanted to use it, we had to go to the village chief... so every household had a wooden or pottery container."
“There are rectangular ones, square ones, round ones…but basically, one liter is enough to fill it, so it’s called a liter. According to current calculations, one liter is full of four kilograms of grain.”
Good guy!
Everyone was amazed by the barrage.
【So there is such a thing? 】
【Why are none of the period articles I read written? 】
【Each region is different...】
【A brigade only has one steelyard...I can now imagine how poor they are】
Chatting with the authors of male videos, they can always talk about tens of thousands of dollars a day in an understatement, as if ten thousand a day is the norm...
Please, what kind of devilish talk is this! I can't listen to this!
