    As my grandfather spoke, he held the goose by its neck and placed it in the duck shed.

    "The nutritional value of goose eggs is also very high. I remember when you were young, the boiled eggs and duck eggs for you during the Qingming Festival were too small. I just wanted goose eggs and tried to share eggs with others. Big geese were a good thing at that time.  If we don¡¯t have any at home, we can only boil duck eggs for you, dye them magenta, put them in the egg net made by your mother, and run them to school to play with your classmates.¡±

    "One year you brought back more than 20 eggs when you came home that day, including chicken eggs, duck eggs, and a huge goose egg. We were shocked at that time and asked the teacher quickly, thinking that something had happened. It turned out that it was  You won it in school."

    Jiang Tian could never forget that day. He was beating Guanxi with punches and playing cockfighting with his classmates. None of them could beat him and had to give him the eggs in his hands.

    Grandpa said with a smile: "Our family has been eating eggs in those days. Later, I really couldn't eat them anymore, so I cut a few green onions into small pieces, poured in soy sauce and vinegar, then cut the eggs and dipped them in.  , not to mention it tastes pretty good.¡±

    "You finally got a goose egg, and you just put it there so that no one else could touch it. Only after a few days did you realize that it had gone bad. You cried for a long time."

    Jiang Tian felt embarrassed, "Grandpa, that happened a long time ago. It's too embarrassing to say it."

    "Haha, what's so shameful about this? Children are like this. Your uncle even drew those things, but your aunt took them away, otherwise you could still see them."

    "Well, speaking of your uncle, it's such a pity. He was so good at painting back then, and he was admitted to the exam, but he was given the wrong treatment by others Forget it, let's not mention it anymore. It's too late.  It¡¯s all my fault that I was incompetent and couldn¡¯t help my son.¡±

    Seeing his grandpa¡¯s eyes moist, Jiang Tian comforted him and said, ¡°Grandpa, if there is really reincarnation in this world, my uncle should have grown up to be a young man, so don¡¯t be sad.¡±

    "I hope you can ask your aunt for those paintings the next time you go to her place. At that time, our family was poor and we didn't have a camera, so we relied on your aunt to draw them."

    "Okay!" Jiang Tian agreed. The reason why he said to go to his aunt is because his aunt rarely comes back. After all, without his uncle as a relative to connect them, the relationship between them is relatively weak.

    Not only my aunt, but also several other relatives were reluctant to return to this impoverished mountain village. They had finally worked hard to get to the big city, and it would be meaningless to come back.

    "When you are in love, you have to take a good look at the woman's character. Beauty is secondary, as long as she is not too ugly, but her character must be good. Daniel is an example. I was also surprised that the two of them got married at that time.  It was obviously good back then, and the woman had a good personality. She took care of her family and was kind to the elderly in the first few years of marriage, but why has she changed now?"

    Jiang Tian said: "After I have been to a big city, my thoughts have changed. Now there are so many short videos and all kinds of poisonous chicken soup, it is easy to change a person."

    "Is it so scary?" Grandpa was puzzled.

    "I'm just exaggerating. Now there is a group of people called marriage scammers." Jiang Tian remembered the news he had seen before, "They are to fall in love with the man first, confirm the relationship quickly, and then in a short period of time  Get married, but the woman wants a lot of money as a bride price, at least one or two hundred thousand. If she doesn¡¯t give it, she won¡¯t marry you.¡±

    "If a man's family has money, it's okay. If he doesn't have money, he will go out and borrow money. After he gets the bride price and gets married, the woman will run away and the bride price will not be returned, and she still can't find anyone. Maybe most men think  Just treat it as a loss and forget it."

    "However, these men who borrowed money are already in difficulty at home, and they also borrowed money for bride price. As a result, the woman ran away. Some men are prone to do some very extreme things. There was news a few days ago that a  The man borrowed 300,000 yuan as a bride price, and even 200,000 yuan was a loan shark, but he didn¡¯t expect the woman to run away.¡±

    "The man searched desperately and finally found the woman's home. He drank wine and went there with a knife. All six members of the family and two children were killed. After that, the man surrendered."

    Grandpa stopped, "Oh, why bother, so what I just said is right, you must first understand the other person's character, just like this kind of thing, a woman cheats money, a man is cheated and kills his whole family, and he still sits there  Prison is an irreparable sorrow for both families."

    "So, don't force us to get married, otherwise this kind of thing may happen." Jiang Tian said with profound meaning.

    Grandpa pretended to be angry, "Why, you still want to kill someone?"??  "

    ¡°It¡¯s not about killing people, it¡¯s about giving us time!¡±

    Grandpa suddenly realized, "So you are waiting for me here. You are such a weird kid. Whether it is work or marriage, you have a way to stop me from urging you."

    "Okay, I will try to mention it as little as possible in the future. You still need to have a career first."

    The older generation is like this. Either they want their children to find a stable job, or they are urging them to get married and have children. Fortunately, they are in a mountain village now. If they were at home, their parents would probably be urging them too, but compared to other families, they would be more demanding.  Much less, after all, both of them are busy with work.

    Hearing that grandpa wanted to talk endlessly, Jiang Tian hurriedly said: "Grandpa, let me go find the village chief and ask him about the land contract."

    "Okay, go ahead!"

    Jiang Tian left the house and went to the old village chief's home, but found that he was not there. The aunt at home said that the village chief had gone to the village committee.

    He ran to the village committee again, and happened to see the old village chief walking around, as if something was wrong.

    "Village Chief!"

    Before Jiang Tian could continue to speak, the old village chief seemed to have found someone to talk to, and a series of words rolled out like pouring beans.

    "My dear, are you okay? Thank you very much for the last time, otherwise the Daniel family's child would have been bad."

    "I'm fine."

    "Well, this heavy rain has ruined so many things, and the crops in the field have been washed down. Your corn is fine, with not much damage, but other people's corn is not good. It fell before it was ripe.  It must be taken out as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily rot in the ground. There were not many people farming in the first place. Now that they have suffered such a big loss and cannot be sold for much money, there must be no one willing to farm.

    By then they will go out to work, and our Taoshan Village will no longer live up to its name.  "

    The old village chief kept sighing, and Jiang Tian finally found a chance to speak.

    "Village Chief, how many acres of land do I want to contract?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
