Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Jin Shun seemed a little embarrassed and laughed dryly, not knowing how to start.

Lai Xi quickly pointed at Jin Shun and said to Liu Siyu: "This is my childhood friend and a good brother."

Then he pointed to an older man and said, "This is Brother Changming, and the one next to him is his younger brother Changliang."

Both of them smiled at Liu Siyu, and Liu Siyu also smiled sweetly in return.

Another tall, thin boy with a slightly darker complexion was afraid of being forgotten, so he immediately rushed to the front.

"My name is Changxing. I'm from the Gu family at the west end of the village. Brother Changming and I are cousins."

Ximei teased with a smile.

"You are the most active among these boys. You are 16 this year, right? Why are you still not doing anything?"

Gu Changxing was quite talkative, but when he heard Ximei say this, he immediately looked aggrieved.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't care, it's just that the girls out there are too picky. As soon as they heard that we were from Xinghua Village, they rejected us after just two words."

"All of us boys are outstanding, down-to-earth and hardworking, but we have left a reputation as a poor village. The girls in the village all want to marry out, and no girls from outside want to come in. But this is not our fault. I still feel wronged."

When Gu Changxing talked about this, he felt full of grievances.

"Sister-in-law, you have to be more careful. If there is a girl who has the same vision as you and doesn't mind our poor place, she must think of me first!"

Ximei chuckled.

"If you ask me, it's because you're not proactive. Look at Jin Shun, didn't he plan it himself?"

"I met him twice at the market, and we struck up a conversation. Maybe I'll have wedding candy soon."

When Jin Shun heard Ximei's words, her cheeks turned slightly red.

"I only met her twice and exchanged a few words with her. I felt that she, she..."

"Jin Shun is thinking about love."

A slightly younger boy came up to Jin Shun and teased him with a smile.

Gu Changxing slapped him away.

"Go away, you little brat, you are not even 14 yet, how can you know what spring thoughts are? Jinshun is already 16 this year, it's normal for you to be moved."

Lai Xi pointed at the boy who was less than 14 years old and said, "His name is Xiaoman, and he is Uncle Zhou's youngest son."

Liu Siyu still smiled politely.

The boy was quite lively. He smiled at Liu Siyu, with two shallow dimples on his round face, which made him look quite likable.

Gu Changxing's mind is all on Jin Shun. They are all bachelors, and Lai Xi just got married, but they didn't expect that Jin Shun also has a lover.

His heart was like a cat scratching, eager to know the result.

"When will the matchmaker come to your house?"

Jin Shun scratched his head awkwardly, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

"My father has already gone to find a matchmaker."

Gu Changxing raised his eyebrows, patted Jin Shun on the shoulder and said, "You are quite proactive. You have already found a matchmaker, but you didn't tell them in advance so that your brothers can be happy."

Jin Shun was teased so many times that he didn't feel embarrassed anymore.

Instead, he teased Changxing.

"Among us, except for Brother Changming, you are already quite old. Why didn't you go to see the girl this year?"

Changxing chuckled.

"We met before the New Year, but they thought we were poor and didn't want to come."

"What's wrong with being poor? All the boys here are not lazy. I don't believe that we can't make a fortune."

Gu Changliang, who had remained silent, was filled with indignation.

Only Gu Changming didn't say a word from beginning to end. He listened to everyone's discussion with a bitter look on his face as he frowned slightly.

Lai Fu patted Gu Changming, who had a bitter face.

"I heard that you also saw a girl last year. What was the result?"

Before Gu Changming could say anything, Changliang on the side was extremely angry.

"That family is simply selling their daughter. They asked for 20 taels of silver as a dowry. If my family could come up with 20 taels of silver, my brother would have been married a long time ago."

When it comes to the topic of unsuccessful blind dates, several bachelors feel a little emotional.

Liu Siyu quickly gave Lai Xi a wink, and Lai Xi understood.

He originally intended to let these people make some money.

"You guys should hurry up and work on the farms during this time. A workshop will be built in Yingshan Village in a few days. The salary is 15 wen a day, and lunch is provided. You have to work for at least a month, and you can earn a lot."

When they heard this, their eyes lit up.

Especially Gu Changming, who said with a little concern: "There are also quite a few people in Yingshan Village. Can people from Xinghua Village get in?"

"Don't worry, as long as you are down-to-earth and hardworking, you can go."

Liu Siyu gave everyone reassurance.

Gu Changxing squeezed to the front like a loach and made the promise with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. None of us are sneaky or cunning. We will definitely not embarrass you if we go there."

Zhou Xiaoman also came forward with great interest.

"Sister-in-law, can I go?"

Lai Xi patted his shoulder, smiled and shook his head.

"You are too young. It's all physical work. You can't do it."

Zhou Xiaoman was slightly disappointed.

"But if your two brothers and your father are free, they can go."

Lai Xi added another sentence, and when Zhou Xiaoman heard it, his disappointed expression was turned into a smile again.

"My dad can go too. He works a little slower, but he's definitely more down-to-earth."

Gu Changliang immediately recommended his father, thinking that if all three of them, father and son, went, they would earn a lot of money in a month.

Liu Siyu glanced at Lai Xi, and seeing him nod slightly, she smiled and agreed.

"As long as you are diligent and down-to-earth, you can come and sign up. It's first come, first served. The number of places is limited."

"Then I'll report it to my family first."

"And I."

"What are you signing up for?"

It was lively here when a crisp voice came from behind.

When everyone looked back, they found that it was the girl from the village who had caught up with them.

The person who spoke at this moment was Xu Qingxue. Liu Siyu remembered her and the innocent Xiaofeng next to her. They had been to her house before, but it was not a pleasant experience.

The others are less familiar.

With the addition of the girl, Gu Changxing became more active.

When the village chief heard that acorns were edible, he immediately called a small meeting with the men in the village.

This year's Arbor Day, without exception, everyone ran to the mountains to dig acorn saplings.

The boys and the women in the village were busy digging holes, while the middle-aged men formed teams to go down the mountain to fetch water.

The young wives in the village all followed their husbands and helped plant trees.

The little girls were much freer, and some of them helped plant trees like the young wives.

Some people go up the mountain in groups to carry saplings.

The mountainside was very lively, and the most active among the girls was Xu Qingxue.

She led a few young sisters to provide saplings specifically for Liu Siyu and others.

As a few people were chatting and laughing, a gray rabbit seemed to be frightened and scurried into the crowd.

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't stop smiling, and immediately started catching rabbits in a hurry.

In a panic, Xu Qingxue missed a step and grabbed Gu Changming.

Gu Changming was caught off guard and was pushed by Qingxue's force, and the two of them rolled together.
