Chapter 296 Finding a Husband for My Daughter
The most taboo thing for a clan is the arrival of outsiders. For people like us who have contacted the captain in advance, it won't be a problem for us to come here.
If they were to settle here out of the blue, I'm afraid they would be xenophobic and would isolate us."
"what?
If that's the case, then it means you won't be able to make any friends, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe in the short term, but in the long term, making friends shouldn't be a problem.
But under this premise, we must not infringe on the other party's interests. If we infringe on the other party's interests, it will be difficult to be friends."
“Like the educated youth and fellow villagers today?”
"Yes, in fact, not only them, but also us."
"That's right. Even though they usually talk and laugh with us, when something really happens, I think they must be very xenophobic."
"That's right. Actually, it's not their fault. Every clan is like this. Especially in the countryside, clan values are more important than in the city."
“Is it because they received different education?”
“This is only one aspect. After all, there are very few people who can receive education in the countryside, and they can only rely on educated people to know what is happening outside.
In the past, a clan in the countryside might not be able to afford a few scholars. It is because we ordinary people are in charge now. Otherwise, in our brigade, let alone girls, there would probably be few boys who could go to school. "
"It's because education requires a lot of money, and there are too few ways to make money in the countryside. Isn't it very difficult to support your children's education with just the harvest from the fields?"
“That’s right, you may not have known it before, but now you should know how much grain you can harvest from one acre of land.
This amount of food is not enough for the whole family to eat, and taxes have to be deducted. In the past, taxes were very harsh. Do you think there is any extra food to sell?"
"this?"
“Even if there are any, they are all big landlords, and they are the only ones who have extra food and extra land.
In our area, it’s hard to say that any family can own three or five acres of land.
It's not a big deal for a family like ours with only a few people, but for a big family like the one in the team, even if they have a lot of land, it may not be enough to eat.
What's more, most families don't have land. They just rent land from landlords. In addition to deducting taxes, they also have to pay food to the landlords. How much do you think they can have left?"
“How much is left?
Is that enough to eat?”
“Is it enough to eat?
How can it be?
Even now, the harvest from the fields may not be enough to eat, let alone in the past, I am afraid that the people will not even have 30% of the food they have!"
"That means you won't be full!"
“Isn’t it because you’re not full?
Some families can’t even get half full.”
"If that's the case, how do they survive?"
“How to live.
Do you still remember how our family survived during the most difficult times? "
“Although I was young at that time, I still vaguely remember what we ate at home.
If that's the case, it's simply unbelievable?"
“It’s hard to believe, but that was how most people lived at the time.
And don't forget that the government at that time imposed heavy taxes. If you wanted to survive, you had to think of other ways, otherwise you would die.
Is this why?
One of the reasons why everyone supports the leader so much now!
It was he who led us ordinary people to stand up and also ensured that everyone had food to eat.
Even though everyone still doesn’t have enough to eat now, life is better than before, and it also gives everyone hope for life.
With hope, life will get better and better! "
"Yes!
However, I don’t quite understand what you are saying. It seems that I am still too young and have learned too little.”
"You are still young, but don't be too anxious. You can take your time. Sooner or later, you will understand."
"Ok!"
In fact, I have no other meaning in telling these things to my children, I just want to tell them that life is not easy.
Don’t think that you are great just by watching others jumping around. It’s not like that.
They are jumping around there just to seek a sense of existence. After all, when they come to a new environment, if they want people to pay attention, they have to find something to attract other people's attention, otherwise how can others know who they are?
What's more, they are not very old to begin with, and a casual remark from others may influence their thoughts. Isn't that a bit childish?
Our children are getting older every year, they have more and more ideas, and they are at an age where they are curious about everything, so we have to guide them well.
Even though there is only one girl in the family, she still needs to be taken seriously, especially as they grow older. The two boys in the family are now reluctant to play with girls. I don't know when their relationship started to fluctuate.
Fortunately, no matter what the conflict is, it can be resolved by myself after a while, and the relationship is better than before.
As they walked on the road outside, they gradually distanced themselves from each other. This situation was not only seen in their own family, but also in other families in the team.
However, there are exceptions, that is, children who are younger than them. No matter if you are an older brother or an older sister, they are willing to follow behind them.
At this time, neither the older brother nor the older sister was willing to play with them, but it was just that their arms were no match for their thighs.
As for other children, we don’t care too much about the children in the team. We pay most attention to our own children. After all, no matter what time it is, they are not as important as our own family.
There is no need to ask specifically about things related to the team. You can learn about them from other people when you go to work and leave work every day.
They even know whose chicken laid the eggs and in whose firewood pile, not to mention other things that are hard not to know. I heard them talking about it again.
"I heard that Huang Dazhu's family wanted to marry off their two daughters in order to find a wife for their eldest son?"
"what?"
"what happened?"
"Yes?
How come I don’t know about this?”
"I'm not sure, who told you that?"
"I'm not just hearing this from others. Isn't it Huang Dazhu's wife who said this herself?"
"No way?
Did she say where she would marry her daughter?"
"Yes, why not?"
"Come on, tell me, what kind of in-laws have you found for your daughter?"
"Yes?
I'm really curious about what kind of in-laws they can find for their daughter. "
"Tsk, what kind of in-laws can they find? If it were me, people like them would probably marry their daughter to whoever gives the most betrothal gifts. As for what the family is like, they don't care!"
