    "Mom, I know."

    When Erya came back, Zhang Hongmei had already packed everything, and was sitting on the kang gesticulating with white cotton cloth.

    "What are you doing, Hongmei?"

    "Sister Erya, I want to make a thin quilt. It's hot and my quilt is too thick."

    "I'll do it with you, by the way, are you too milky?"

    "I paid it back a long time ago. I don't want to owe others anything. Besides, the old man prepared the funeral himself. I will send it as soon as I have it."

    The two talked and worked, and it was quite fast.

    "Hongmei, I gave my mother a hundred dollars."

    "My second sister is really filial."

    "What is filial piety? I just feel that too much money is not safe. Besides, it's time for my brother to marry a wife. Everywhere in the house is a place to spend money. My father also spent a lot of money finding a job for my brother. I don't want my father  Mom is too tired, I'll give them more if I have some in hand."

    "That's the reason, just do your own filial piety."

    After the quilt was finished, Zhang Hongmei took out another piece of cloth to make a new quilt, which was much thicker than the quilt.  The province is lying on the kang in a panic.

    Erya went back after dark and saw her sister cursing while feeding the pigs. After listening for a while, it turned out that it was because she didn't go to school and didn't stay at home.  I didn't bother to care about her, and I became more and more stupid.

    Now the family hardly pays attention to her, and she can have a good time by herself. I don't know what grandma and aunt said to her again?  Anyway, it must not be a good word.

    Er Ya guessed wrong this time, and didn't know until dinner time that she had found a partner for her sister, but Da Ya disagreed, and wanted to find someone who could eat commercial food.  Her old aunt said that if she eats commercial food, she doesn't have to work, and she looks like a young lady in a play all day long.

    Liu Maocai doesn't care if she is willing or not, in fact, the man's conditions are really the best in all directions, but that fool just doesn't want to.

    "Tomorrow, I will meet someone at Matchmaker Li's house. I'm telling you, don't make any mistakes. If you do, you will get out of here!"

    Liu Daya dared not speak out, thinking that her father didn't want her to live a good life, so she went back to the house and cried angrily.

    The next day Erya didn't care about them, went to Zhang Hongmei's house and dragged her to the sweet potato field.

    "What if the wild boar escapes? What if we never get rid of the smell?"

    Zhang Hongmei was speechless, "Sister Erya, you haven't woken up, how can there be so many wild boars? But we can dig a few more traps."

    "Come on, let's go."

    Zhang Hongmei: Girl, you are too impatient!

    The two of them still have a box for each person, and they also have a snakeskin bag and a pick and a shovel.  For lunch, Erya brought the cornbread. In fact, Zhang Hongmei really disliked it, but there was no other way, since Erya brought them here, she couldn't say anything else.

    The two went directly to the sweet potato field without stopping on the way, mainly because there were no wild vegetables left.  The children in the village did not dare to enter the mountain, and they all dug outside.

    Arriving in the field, I found two rabbits in the trap. Erya was excited, but Zhang Hongmei was not so optimistic.

    Why does the sweet potato field attract animals so much?  Is there nothing to eat in the mountains?  But don't do this, it will be better after waiting for a month, and the sweet potato seedlings will be eaten as soon as they are eaten, and the sweet potatoes in the field will still grow, but not now.

    "Sister Erya, don't worry about the rabbits, let's dig a trap first, or our sweet potatoes will be in vain."

    "Come on, right now, I have enough strength now. I'll dig, and you can chop sticks."

    "In the middle, I'll chop first. How many can we dig today?"

    Erya also thought of the seriousness of the matter, and turned to work with a pickaxe.

    The two of them didn't rest after eating at noon, and dug a total of four traps until after four o'clock.

    The tired two walked limply.

    Erya felt something was wrong when she got home, the house was quiet, only the pigs in the pigsty made a humming sound.

    Hastily put down the tools and entered her parents' house.  Her mother was lying on the kang weeping.  Her father is not at home.

    "Mom. What's wrong with you?"

    "It's okay, Erya is back, mom will cook now."

    "Mom, I brought back a rabbit. Did you eat it at night? Or pickle it?"

    "Let's marinate it. Your brother will go to work in the county in a few days, and your father just gave it away, but I can't eat it. Mom will boil eggs for you."

    "No need. Our old hen hasn't hatched chicks yet?"

    "It's coming soon." Both of them are quick at work.  Cook the pig food first, and the other pot also boils water for cooking.

    Suddenly Liu Daya picked up the curtain and came out of the room, which startled Erya.  What a mess?.  Is it because you don't like each other?

    She doesn't work either, she just sits on the threshold and weeps, and Erya who passes by is afraid of bumping into her.

    Dinner is pimple soup with Lianghe noodles, and the leftover steamed corn bread at noon, a bowl of pickles, a bowl of sauce, a few green onions, and a few cloves of garlic.

    They all came back when the rice was cooked.  Liu Mao was expressionless when he entered the door, and Liu Jianguo was not happy.  Liu Daya didn't dare to sit on the threshold when she saw Liu Maocai came back.

    Several people gathered around the table, only Liu Daya was still standing in the yard, Er Ya was curious, what did this fool do so carelessly?

    Liu Mao just asked everyone to eat, but he didn't care about Da Ya at all.

    Before the meal was finished, her grandma came over with a cane. Li Cuihua ignored her at all, watching her enter the courtyard and turned into the house.

    Her grandma didn't care either, she happily sat on the bench Erya gave up, "Third son, look how sensible Daya is, she gave up such a good man to her old aunt. Are you going to ask the matchmaker tomorrow? Lijiazhuang  Did the boy take a fancy to your sister?"

    Er Ya was startled, what's the matter with you?

    Liu Maocai finished the last sip of pimple soup, put down the bowl, and looked at his mother expressionlessly, "Go and ask yourself, so as not to have bad news, you can rely on me. You also know Li Matchmaker's family, or this is a grandma."  How can I take my child's old aunt to grab my niece's partner? I think it's embarrassing, and I've lost my face to Waizhuang today. Jianguo, send your grandma back."

    "Third brother, what are you talking about? I asked you to find a partner for your sister, but you said no, but you have a good one for your daughter? My treasure is much better than that dead girl, just to see  The big girl doesn't like it either. It's just that poor face. If someone doesn't like it, you can give your sister some more money as a dowry, won't you win?"

    "Hehe, I don't have any money. I gave all the one hundred yuan I agreed to when I left the house, and I didn't have a cent more. Jianguo?"

    Until Liu Jianguo sent her milk out, Liu Daya still stood there stupidly.

    She didn't understand why what her grandma said was different from before?  She also said that she was lucky enough to be born to eat commercial food, and that the young men in the countryside were not good enough for her.  She also said that the old lady is not as good as her.

    That's why I asked my old aunt to go on a blind date for me.  It turned out that they were all lying to themselves, and I was stupid. My mother told me that the young man's family was in good condition. At that time, I was deceived by lard, and I was only thinking about commercial food.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
