Miao Liang inherited her mother's good looks, and she has a pretty little face.
Originally, Aunt Miao was unhappy because her pampered daughter was not as good as Miao Liang, and because Miao Liang had been working for the family since she was a child, her ability was well-known in the production team.
In this way, when Miao Liang was fifteen years old, people in the village often came to Miao's second uncle's house and asked if Miao Liang had a partner and wanted to introduce one to Miao Liang. It doesn't matter if she is young, you can get engaged first, and then wait.
It's enough to remarry at the age of eighteen.
The first child born to Uncle Miao and Aunt Miao was a girl, only a few months younger than Miao Liang.
All the people who came to see Miao Liang at Uncle Miao's house had their house destroyed. On the contrary, no one mentioned Miao Lanlan, who is the same age as Miao Liang. For this reason, Aunt Miao became more and more disgusted with covering up her daughter.
The bright Miao Liang, whatever dirty work or tiring work at home was left to Miao Liang, she was tortured vigorously.
Miao Liang knew all about these situations.
Even if Miao Liang doesn't know, someone will tell Miao Liang: "Miao Liang, I am your Aunt Li."
"Aunt Li." Miao Liang knew the other party. She often acted as a matchmaker for others, but the situation is different now. Arranged marriages and blind marriages are not allowed. If she really acts as a matchmaker, she would be quite restrained.
Aunt Li grabbed Miao Liang's hand and said, "Look, you are such a good girl, but your hands are so thick."
Miao Liang withdrew her hand: "Aunt Li, the chairman said that the working people are the most glorious. I am in the proletarian stage. I should respond to the party's call and love to work. Whose hands are not satisfied with calluses now? This is not called
Having thick hands is called glory."
"Then why didn't your second aunt let your sister Lanlan join in the glory?" Who doesn't know?
If it weren't for the fact that the last three generations of the Miao family were all poor, and that Miao Lao Er, who was lame and saved the lives of eight people during his lifetime, would have been beaten for acting like the Miao Lao Er family raised their son and daughter.
Become a landlord stage.
Whose seventeen or eight-year-old girl has never worked in the field and earned a living to support her family? The second daughter of Miao Lao is a rare girl. She lies in the room every day and uses the family's food and drink, just like a wealthy lady.
Bah, for a girl like this, she wouldn't mind being a matchmaker.
If such a girl were to marry into someone's family, wouldn't it be a disaster for them? Do they still want her reputation?
"Miao Liang, listen to Aunt Li. Your second uncle's family is really not nice to you. Aunt Li will find you a good family who will love you. Aunt Li is really doing this for your own good."
Miao Liang smiled: "You are good to me, I know, but I feel that I am still young and I am not in a hurry to find a partner." If given the chance, she actually wants to read more.
When she was young, she didn't have the opportunity to study, so Lanlan went to school. After she finished her work, she would follow her and learn a little secretly.
Later, the school was closed and the teachers disappeared one by one. Miao Liang's wish to learn could not be realized. Fortunately, I heard that the production team might have a literacy class recently, and the teachers would be those educated youth who came to the countryside.
, Miao Liang was very interested in this.
Miao Liang knew that although Aunt Li was doing it for the benefit of the matchmaker, she was not lying when she said it was for her own good.
But she doesn't want to get married yet. She knows that once she gets married, if she wants to go to a literacy class to learn how to read, the husband's family will definitely not agree.
Since the educated youths who went to the countryside came to the production team, the people in the production team particularly hated those male educated youths, because with these male educated youths, the girls in the village were not willing to marry, and their eyesight became higher, and they all wanted fair and fair girls.
City people.
In this way, those young married women will also be closely controlled by their husbands' families and ordered to stay away from those male educated youths, lest they all learn bad things.
Miao Liang understands this situation.
She didn't think that the educated youth who went to the countryside were better than the men in the village, nor did she think that the men in the village were worse than the educated youth. But if she got married, she wouldn't even be allowed to go to literacy classes. Miao Liang really didn't want to get married.
Life was not easy for her when she gave birth at her second uncle's house, but after she got married and was taken care of by her husband's family, in addition to being able to eat more at her husband's house, she couldn't do less of the work she should do. So,
Why is she in a hurry to get married?
"Miao Liang, do you want to be like a male educated youth?"
"No, those educated youths are not the same as us." Don't think she didn't realize it. Not only the male educated youths, but also the female educated youths. When looking at their production team, their chins are always raised and their eyes are always
Miao Liang didn't like the mocking attitude of the educated youth.
Not that all educated youth are like this, but most of them are like this.
Apart from going to literacy classes to learn literacy, Miao Liang had never had any other contact with educated youths.
"Then what are you doing... Miao Liang, don't say you want to repay your second uncle? You don't know that the reason why your second uncle is living such a good life now is all because of your father giving it to your second uncle. No.
Your father, where did your second uncle get the house and money to marry a wife and have children? Also, your father lost it because he dug ginseng, and your second uncle has not raised you in vain all these years."
In fact, Aunt Li settled an account for Uncle Miao.
Uncle Miao not only did not lose money by raising his niece Miao Liang, but also made a lot of money.
Miao Liang has been helping Uncle Miao work since she was five years old. She first took care of her younger siblings at home, and then washed the whole family's clothes.
Miao Liang does all the household chores except cooking.
Of course, Second Aunt Miao never let Miao Liang do the work on the stove. It was not because she felt sorry for Miao Liang's young age and her small body which was comparable to Zao's height. Firstly, she was worried that Miao Liang would spoil the food. Secondly, she was afraid that Miao Liang would be there.
When making it, eat it yourself first.
Therefore, all the work at home can be left to Miao Liang, except this one.
This resulted in Miao Liang being able to do any kind of work, but not cooking, because she had no chance to cook when she was enslaved in Uncle Miao's family. After getting married, Grandma Zhai was still alive and did not need Miao.
Lianggan, when Grandma Zhai is gone, given the conditions of the Zhai family, there will already be an aunt at home to help.
In this way, Miao Liang did not dare to work less, and Miao Liang did not dare to eat more rice. Except for the ginseng, the work points that Miao Liang earned from working for Uncle Miao's family over the years were enough to support herself.
More than enough.
Speaking of which, Uncle Miao really has no kindness towards Miao Liang.
Not to mention that Uncle Miao's own daughter Miao Lanlan was raised like a charming lady from the landlord's family, and Miao Liang became the little maid next to Miao Lanlan. When she grew up, Miao Lanlan washed all of Miao Lanlan's clothes.
of.
Obviously Miao Liang is the older sister, but Miao Liang always picks up Miao Lanlan's discarded clothes and wears them.
After Uncle Miao got a ginseng for free, he got a servant in the house who could help with the work for free.
The words are unpleasant to hear, but who knows that this is indeed the truth? (To be continued)
