The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

"Is your family background the same as what matchmaker Zhou said?" Zhao asked again.

I don’t know if people will change in the future, but if your family is well off, at least life will be better.

Song Jinsheng nodded. "It's about the same. Their house looks a bit old, but it's made of blue bricks and tiles. There are even pigs and chickens in the house. Their conditions are definitely better than ours."

As if he felt that what he had just said was inappropriate, he turned around and said, "But our family has just been separated for a short time. If my grandparents were only my father, we might be able to live in a blue brick and tile house."

Song Jinbao said earnestly, "There are always people who are better than you. Our family is pretty good, there's no need to compare ourselves with others."

Song Jinsheng hurriedly shook his head, "I don't compare it with other families. I like our own family too."

Zhao Qiao'e turned her head and looked at Song Yuntang.

"What do you think, Tang'er?"

Since his family had put so much thought into it, Song Yuntang naturally couldn't refuse directly. Since there would be a marriage sooner or later to dispel their concerns, it would be a good idea to go and take a look.

"I need to meet the person before I make a decision."

Zhao Qiao'e didn't object. "Okay, I'll tell Matchmaker Zhou about your idea first and see how he arranges it."

Song Yuntang hummed, "If everything is fine, I'll go back to my room and rest."

"Go ahead." Zhao turned and looked at everyone again, "Let's all go. It's getting late. We need to rest for a while before we have to go to the fields."

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest, but Song Jinsheng was worried about what was happening at Song Mazi's home. He did not go to sleep in his room, but went straight out to the village entrance.

……

Since taking on the handkerchief job, Zhao finished her housework during the day and spent the rest of her time embroidering handkerchiefs in her room.

Although Liu was also good at embroidery, her skills were not enough, so he only dared to ask her to help with simple tasks such as hemming.

When she has nothing to do, she will take the initiative to do some housework.

Today's dinner was prepared by Liu and Song Yuntang together.

Liu washed the rice, put it in the pot, and lit the stove.

Song Yuntang beat three eggs that Sun Jinhua, the eldest daughter-in-law of Uncle Qiao, had brought him that morning. He then soaked and cleaned the dried black fungus that he had picked from the mountains some time ago, cut a handful of radish leaves, and made scrambled eggs with black fungus.

We have never fried eggs at home, but when Song Yuntang made it today, it tasted especially delicious.

Song Jinsheng praised while eating, "I didn't expect my sister's cooking skills are quite good."

Song Yuntang said calmly, "Fungus scrambled eggs is not a very complicated dish. It tastes good no matter how you scramble it."

She does know a few dishes, but the ingredients are limited and she can't make the most of them.

"By the way, second brother, how's the situation with brother Mazi going?"

Song Jinsheng looked at her and said, "It's almost done. I have to go over there after dinner. I can find someone to help with the installation tomorrow."

Song Yuntang nodded, "If it's about installation, Qiao Da and Qiao Er should be willing to help."

"Then I'll go to Uncle Qiao and my uncles' homes after dinner." After saying this, Song Jinsheng quickened the pace of making porridge.

Song Yuntang continued to eat leisurely, "I'll go to the fields with you tomorrow."

Song Jinbao, who was standing by, was curious after hearing this. "You guys have been acting so mysterious all this time. What on earth are you doing? You've called so many people for help, and you're going to the fields. Does it have anything to do with our fields?"

Song Jinsheng smiled mysteriously, "Dad will know tomorrow. I guess everyone will be amazed at my sister's intelligence."

Song Jinbao said angrily, "You little bastard, you're still playing dumb with your father."

Seeing that he was blushing but didn't want to argue with Song Jinsheng, the whole family laughed.

……

The next morning, the family got up early.

Because there is a big project this morning, the water-carrying work will definitely be delayed. However, once the water truck is installed, there will be no shortage of water in the fields.

After breakfast, Zhao and Liu stayed at home, while the brothers Zhuzi and Zhuangzi went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

Song Yuntang and the father and son went to Song Mazi's house at the entrance of the village.

The person who opened the door was Song Mazi's mother, Cui. In the yard, Song Mazi had already sorted all the materials together, and some of them had been loaded onto a cart.

"Today we have a lot of stuff, and the roads in the fields are narrow. The cart can only reach the side of the road. I'm afraid the stuff on it will have to be carried to the well or river by humans."

As soon as Song Mazi finished speaking, two voices sounded from behind.

"Third brother, you arrived so early."

Song Jinbao looked back and saw Qiao Da and Qiao Er. Knowing that they were here to help his family, he smiled and said, "You're here."

Qiao Da and Qiao Er greeted them with a smile.

Qiao Er looked at Song Yuntang a little embarrassedly, "I was wrong about you yesterday."

"You don't know me. Your reaction back then was normal." She looked at the two of them. "I'll trouble you both with what happened this morning."

Qiao Da hurriedly waved his hands, "No trouble, no trouble. I can still afford to delay you for a whole morning."

Seeing that Qiao Da and Qiao Er were very polite to Song Yuntang, Song Jinbao felt surprised and relieved.

My daughter seems to be getting more and more adapted to the life of a farmer's family.

Together with Song Mazi, a group of six men, some carrying and some pushing, first transported a batch of materials to the edge of the field.

The five men in my uncle Song Jinzhu's family were waiting there, in addition to my second uncle Song Jinwen.

Originally, Second Aunt Ma Zhaolan had a feud with Song Yuntang and was unwilling to let Song Jinwen come, but Song Jinwen couldn't bring himself to do so, and after a big quarrel with her, he still came.

After all, when his family had problems in the past, Song Jinbao would bring his family to help.

Looking closer, I saw a scratch on his face, but the blood had already coagulated and was starting to form a scar.

"Brother, what's wrong with your face?"

Song Jinwen covered the wound at the corner of his eye with his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It was an accidental scratch, it's no big deal."

Several men knew Ma's character, so they did not expose him.

"We still need to transport a batch of timber from Mazi's house. Let's unload it here and then go back." Song Jinbao looked at his two brothers. "Big brother, second brother, you guys help transport it to the river first. When we get the second batch, we'll help you move it."

Song Jinzhu and Song Jinwen nodded, "Okay, leave it to us."

After Song Jinbao and his companions left, Song Yuntang stayed here and moved things to the river with his two uncles and four cousins.

She was not strong enough to carry heavy things, so she just carried lighter ones.

Fortunately, there were many people, and after half an hour, all the things were transported to the well river.

Song Mazi asked everyone to go into the water and set up the frame first, while he and Song Jinsheng installed the main body of the waterwheel on the shore.

Song Yuntang was not good at installation, so he could only run around to help them pass wood and tools.

The eleven men present were all official laborers in the village. They worked vigorously and decisively, and soon they had built a scaffolding by the well river.

Song Mazi installed the main body of the waterwheel and began to install the base of the waterwheel in the water.

Except for Song Mazi and Song Jinsheng, none of the men present knew what they were going to install next.

"Third brother, what on earth are you trying to install that could even delay your farm work?" Song Jinzhu asked.
