Protagonist:

Chai Mi

"Ah... which Er Shazi?" Chai Youqing was a bit confused: "There are so many Er Shazis in our village, which Er Shazi did you ask to haul fertilizer?"

Sanjiacun had a large population, and this era was relatively poor. There were always many men in the village who were like unemployed vagrants.

In this era, if someone married a daughter-in-law, they were called a liuzi; if they hadn't married one, they were called an Er Shazi.

Of course, this title was what people called them behind their backs; it wasn't a good word.

Because of these people, for various reasons, they couldn't marry a daughter-in-law—either because their family conditions were too poor, or because they were short and ugly, or because they lacked intelligence or were physically disabled, resulting in this outcome.

And in most cases, it was because they lacked intelligence, leading to them being unable to marry a wife. This situation accounted for eighty or ninety percent. Although there were distinctions between old bachelors and young bachelors here, in most cases, this nearly joking title of Er Shazi was used on young bachelors.

After all, old bachelors were no longer treated as human beings by anyone.

Of course, this was also a sad thing in the nineties.

"Chai Mi, won't those bachelors harass you?" Chai Youqing asked with great concern.

His own family's daughter was as beautiful as a flower and jade, and many young men had already been thinking about her...

And Chai Mi had reached the age of discussing marriage; at this age, it could be said that one daughter was asked about by a hundred families.

Of course, there were also some bold and shameless ones who, in the name of free love, offered unsolicited attentions for no reason. But Chai Youqing felt that it was still better to be of equal social standing.

Although Chai Youqing didn't know what "equal social standing" meant either, he still pondered finding a good family for Chai Mi in the future, at least a family that knew how to live.

"Stop asking around." Chai Mi retorted when she heard Chai Youqing's tone wasn't good: "You go notify the relatives in the village and the Village Chief and them, just say our family's Chai Xin... will hold a Full Moon Wine on the twenty-sixth of the fifth lunar month, and at that time invite the Big Fellows to come home to drink Full Moon Wine."

"Mm, I know..." Chai Youqing had just agreed when he was stunned for a moment: "Wait, wasn't Chai Xin born on the eighth day of the fourth month, on Start of Summer? How did it add eight more days? It's almost forty days now, it's not Full Moon Wine anymore..."

"Dad, don't pay attention to these unimportant small matters. The Full Moon is the day after tomorrow, just two or three days away, can we make it?" Chai Mi said with dissatisfaction.

Indeed, Chai Mi's younger sister Chai Xin's Full Moon was coming soon.

But no one in the family had ever cared about it, and no one had said they would hold a Full Moon Wine for her.

It seemed that all of this was ignored by everyone.

The previous situation in Chai Youqing's family...

Chai Mi wanted to write a poem: Planting grain, the sky blocks it; parents take it away, purely suffering; having a vegetable garden, there's hope but it's barren; there's work in the fields but no one helps; father carries a hoe, mother carries a basket, eating potato and Chinese cabbage soup; outsiders come to sell melons and vegetables, he has no money in his pocket, very helpless.

Not to mention, it actually rhymed quite well...

Anyway, Chai Youqing thought his social connections were not bad, but the family was poor, and there weren't many people who looked up to him.

It was just that he seemed not to know it.

If someone truly looked up to Chai Youqing, then after he had a little daughter, why had it been so long that almost no one asked about Chai Xin's Full Moon Wine?

If this were changed to Village Chief Liu Changgui's family, if their child had a Full Moon Wine...

Forget it, Chai Mi shook her head.

The Village Chief's family had even fewer people who looked up to them; his son Liu was that "Er Shazi" in Chai Youqing's mouth...
