Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

sunset.

In the evening.

Every member of the Jiang family held a bowl of bone noodle soup and sat in the yard, eating heartily.

There was almost no meat on the bones.

It was cleaned by the butcher.

Zhang Jinlan asked her eldest son to chop the bones into pieces.

The bone marrow oil inside is used together with the bones to make soup.

Not to mention how fragrant it is.

Bone oil floats on the soup, and I pick up a handful of noodles made of fine flour with chopsticks.

Blow it and then swallow it in one gulp.

The fragrance goes straight to the depths of the soul.

Just like noon.

Everyone ate noodles without saying a word.

Jiang Fubao ate too much at noon, and the child had trouble digesting it, so she only ate half a bowl of noodles at night.

After finishing her meal and taking a short rest, she took the shuttlecock that her grandmother made for her.

Kicking around in the yard.

Wild pheasant feathers are very beautiful.

It is colorful under the reflection of the sunset.

She played until dark and then went back to the house to lie down.

After her brothers fell asleep, she put the 120 eggs in the space into the chicken coop.

He added some more rice into the rice jar.

After finishing everything, she went back to her room to sleep.

When I woke up, it was bright daylight.

The aroma of omelets wafted out from the kitchen and came in through the gap in the door.

Jiang Fubao's stomach suddenly started to growl.

I consumed too much energy playing shuttlecock last night.

In fact, she felt hungry in the second half of the night.

"Grandma, I'm awake--" Jiang Fubao shouted loudly when he came to the yard.

"Okay, grandma will pour you some hot water."

Zhang Jinlan responded quickly.

She brought out some hot water and waited for her granddaughter to brush her teeth before she picked up the linen cloth and washed her face.

"hiss--"

"Grandma, this cloth hurts my face when I wash it. I want to use a soft cloth to wash my face tomorrow."

Now that she has found a clear path, she plans to take out the things in the space step by step.

Her face was so painful from washing it with the tattered linen cloth that she could not bear it any longer.

"Okay, grandma, cut a piece of coarse cloth and use it to wash your face tomorrow." Zhang Jinlan didn't react at first.

"No rough cloth, but soft cloth! There will be some tomorrow."

Jiang Fubao smiled mysteriously.

"Okay, let's use Fubao's cloth to wash our faces tomorrow."

Zhang Jinlan was stunned at first, then she reacted.

I'm afraid the immortals are going to send cloth.

I don’t know what kind of cloth it is, silk or satin?

"Oh, and there's a toothbrush. This willow branch brush makes my mouth uncomfortable. I need a toothbrush tomorrow, too."

Looking at the willow branches on the ground, Jiang Fubao added another sentence.

"Okay~" Zhang Jinlan smiled indulgently.

She wrung out the sackcloth and hung it back on the rope.

I went to get breakfast for my granddaughter.

This morning I had shepherd's purse and egg pancakes. The shepherd's purse was left over from yesterday. It was a little wilted after being left overnight, but it was still edible. The eggs were sent by the immortals today, about a hundred of them.

It just so happened that the eldest son was going to town, so he was asked to take a hundred eggs to sell.

"Grandma, when are we going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables?"

After breakfast, I sat for a long time but grandma didn’t come out.

Jiang Fubao urged.

"Grandma is not going to the mountain today. She is going to Qianjia Village to find a matchmaker to find a wife for your eldest brother. Your eldest aunt is coming with her. Fubao, do you want to go to the mountain to pick wild vegetables with your mother and second aunt, or go to Qianjia Village with Grandma?"

Zhang Jinlan found a small basket and put five eggs in it.

It seems that he wants to give it to the matchmaker.

"Fubao wants to be with grandma."

What's the fun in digging wild vegetables? It's more fun to explore new places.

"Okay, let's go, Lao Er's family, be careful with Yan Zi, and just go to where we were yesterday, don't go too deep."

Zhang Jinlan holds her granddaughter's hand.

He didn't forget to turn around and give another instruction.

"I know, mother. We will go down the mountain as soon as we finish digging. Don't worry."

Sun Pingmei and Zhang Yanzi each carried a bamboo basket.

The five people left in different directions.

Qianjia Village is a little farther than Sunjia Village.

Jiang Fubao walked for a while, and then was held by his aunt and grandmother in turn.

It took more than half an hour to reach the entrance of Qianjia Village.

According to the rich-poor ranking, Qianjia Village is richer than Sunjia Village and Zhoujia Village.

Walk in from the village entrance.

As expected, each family’s house is different from those in Jiangjia Village.

Occasionally, you can see a few bluestone brick houses.

The villagers passing by the village had fewer patches on their clothes than grandma and mother.

There were even a few who wore coarse cloth as outer garments.

Jiang Fubao followed his grandmother and aunt's footsteps and walked to the end of the village.

The three of them stopped outside a house.

The walls outside the house are all made of bluestone bricks.

You can tell at first glance that it’s a wealthy family.

"Knock knock knock--" Zhang Jinlan knocked on the door with the iron ring on the door.

"Coming——" After a while, the door opened from the inside.

A younger woman asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm looking for a matchmaker with money. My eldest grandson is old enough to meet someone."

Zhang Jinlan answered truthfully.

"Okay, come in, mom~ Someone is here to matchmake with you——"

The woman moved aside to let the three men in, then turned around and shouted into the main room.

The threshold of the house was more than twice as high as that of the Jiang family. Jiang Fubao was too short, so she was carried inside by her aunt.

Then, I saw the house inside.

Jiang Fubao was dumbfounded.

The bluestone brick wall outside looks luxurious.

The house inside turned out to be a mud house!

So it's just the bright appearance?

What is the difference between this and the modern rural areas where five- or six-story villas are built, covered with expensive tiles on the outside but still unfinished on the inside?

It turns out that there were face-saving projects in ancient times.

"Isn't this the Zhang family's girl? Why are you here?"

Just as Jiang Fubao was exclaiming.

An old woman who was a few years older than Grandma walked out briskly.

"Matchmaker Qian, it's been a while since we last met. My eldest grandson is already fifteen, so I need your help to find him a good girl. The hen at home just laid eggs, so I'll bring you a few to try."

When she entered the house, Zhang Jinlan did not give the eggs to the young woman. Instead, she took them to the yard and handed them to the matchmaker personally.

Just so she can see it.

Look, Zhang Jinlan brought gifts.

Matchmaker Qian's mouth suddenly widened.

"You are too polite. Just come. Why bring a gift? We are old acquaintances. I will naturally choose a good one for you. Come in and sit down. Bai, go to the kitchen and pour two glasses of water. Oh, there is also a doll. Pour three glasses."

"Yes, mother."

Bai responded with lowered eyebrows.

After entering the main room.

Everyone sat down.

Jiang Fubao twisted his head and looked around.

The house is similar to the Jiang family’s.

The floor was muddy, there was an old round wooden table, and the chair legs were of different lengths.

It seems that all the money from Qian the matchmaker's family was used to build the wall.

"Your grandson is fifteen? He is old enough. What kind of man do you want to find? But let me be clear. Zhang Village is different from Jiang Village. Not many families are willing to marry their daughters to Jiang Village. You know this. You can either be generous and give more gifts, or look for a family with a different background. Don't blame me for being too clear."

Matchmaker Qian is a cheerful person.
