Chapter 13

The two walked to the mule cart!

Wang An saw Mu Xueqing's mother stealing a look at the two pieces of roe deer meat left! A feeling of sadness arose spontaneously!

Before hearing Mu's mother's scolding of Mu Xueqing, Wang An learned that Mu Xueqing's family's living conditions were very bad!

Wang An has been trying hard to recall the bits and pieces when studying, but there are really not many things he can remember; remembered that once the school counted family members, Mu Xueqing's father was named Mu Hua, mother was named Liu Ruxin, had a younger brother named Mu Xueli, and a younger sister named Mu Xueting! Remembered that at that time Wang An also asked Mu Xueting, saying who named the three of you? Mu Xueqing said it was her father! Then Wang An joked, saying how much your father dislikes snow, the three of you are all involved with snow! Then Mu Xueqing ignored him for many days! No matter how he showed his diligence, she ignored him!

It is still a collective system, and grain and goods are distributed based on work points every year!

Mu Hua's health is not very good, he can't do much work, so he definitely doesn't have many work points; Mu Xueqing was still studying before graduating from junior high, so she definitely didn't have work points; Mu Xueli was also studying, Wang An knew; Mu Xueting was still young and didn't count!

This family, only Liu Ruxin can earn work points, and if a male laborer is 10 points, a female laborer is normally 8 points. This life! Okay, I chose it!

After thinking about this, Wang An said to Liu Ruxin with a smile: "Auntie, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Liu Ruxin also smiled and said: "It's okay, son-in-law, is everything done?"

"Yeah, done! Should we send the money to that Zheng guy directly? Or should we find the introducer first? Auntie."

"Find the introducer! We haven't seen the Zheng family yet! Xueqing always refuses, no way, I came today thinking of asking what Zheng Fei is like! But son-in-law, you can't blame Auntie, you said you... Our Xueqing has been waiting for you for a year and a half! Auntie really has no way!" Saying that, she was about to shed tears.

"Oh, Auntie, don't think so, I, Wang An, am not that kind of person, besides, this matter is all my fault, okay! Put your heart in your stomach, with your son-in-law here, it's all settled!" Wang An said half-comfortingly and half-guaranteeing immediately.

Hearing this, Liu Ruxin immediately lost the tears just now, smiling so brightly!!

Her eyes began to look at the pile of things Wang An and Mu Xueqing bought just now intentionally or unintentionally!! Wang An's mouth twitched; the mother-in-law is not an ordinary person!

Wang An just wanted to take out the money and give it to Liu Ruxin, habitually looked left and right, and found many people, suddenly thought that Mu Xueqing's house is not far from Kaoshan Village, only five or six li away, and passing by his own house on the way to her house!

Better to send them back directly! Safer! Besides, looking at the situation, Liu Ruxin and Mu Xueqing should have walked to the county town, this distance is quite far!

Thinking of this, Wang An said: "Auntie, just happen to recognize the door at your house, I'll send you back directly! What do you say, Auntie?"

At this time, Wang An cannot invite Liu Ruxin and them to Wang An's house, because the procedure is Wang An first goes to Mu Xueqing's house, agrees to stay for a meal, if not, don't stay for a meal! This is called matchmaking. Then if Mu Xueqing's family agrees, Mu Xueqing's whole family goes to Wang An's house with Wang An, this is called looking at the family style (that is, looking at the man's family situation). If both families agree, they get engaged on the spot, this is called giving bride price! The woman's family all goes home, Wang An leads a group of people to marry, Wang An picks up Mu Xueqing and takes her home, this is called holding a happy event! Then it's all finished! If there is an introducer, it is to add the introducer to every link, and the procedure doesn't change!

Of course, this is just the procedure that most people in this place know, but in the Northeast at this time, there are many people from inside the pass, such as the pioneers who came from all over the country at the beginning, the people who broke into the Northeast, the people who supported construction when the major forest farms were first built, as well as educated youth, and the part of people mentioned in the jingle, etc., so, the Northeast at this time can be said to be a great fusion of folk customs and customs from all over the country! Influencing each other, assimilating each other, uniting each other!!

Of course, this kind of operation is not allowed now!! The policy doesn't allow it!! The living conditions of each family don't allow it either; it's hard to eat enough, and no ordinary family can bear the cost of this kind of operation! So marriage is extremely simple!

"That's too good, just settle your business today! Xueqing is already 21, about to become an old girl!" Liu Ruxin said very happily.

Liu Ruxin's words, Mu Xueqing didn't have any reaction, Wang An secretly glanced at Mu Xueqing, smiled and said: "That works, sit tight, let's go."

The three returned, still have to pass through that small market; in the small market, there are those selling buns; Wang An saw the sun was noon, should have gone to a state-run restaurant to eat, but there were no private restaurants at this time! State-run restaurants are not expensive, but they are short of money and grain coupons!! However, those who can eat meat buns at this time are considered rich!

Pulled the reins and shouted to stop the mule, bought 50 big meat buns with a flour bag, one meat bun is 2 liang, 5 cents each with grain coupons, 8 cents each without grain coupons!

Seeing Wang An buy so many buns, whether it was the people next to him or the bun shop owner, they were all used to it, without any expression of surprise or shock, only envy! In this era, people are hungry!!

Parked the cart in a leeward place, the three of them started eating the buns, no vegetables, no porridge, not even a drop of water! But the three of them were full of satisfaction! In this era, being able to eat buns until full is too fragrant!

Liu Ruxin ate 5 buns, just wanted to reach out and take another one, looked at the bun bag, swallowed, and retracted her hand!

Wang An noticed it, and Mu Xueqing also noticed it!

Wang An said casually: "We have to eat all these buns, otherwise if it spreads out that I, Wang An, am stingy and don't let my wife and mother-in-law eat enough, then I'll be so shameful, isn't that right? Xueqing, isn't that right? Auntie."

Immediately after, he said: "Xueqing, eat more! Auntie, eat quickly, it won't be fragrant if it gets cold later!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruxin hesitated before reaching out the hand she had just retracted, a satisfied smile appeared on her face! Don't know if she was satisfied with the buns, or satisfied with Wang An, this son-in-law! Maybe, both are very satisfied!

Soon, everyone finished eating; Wang An himself ate don't know if it was 15 or 16! Anyway, there were 14 buns left in the bag! The three of them should be full!

"These buns are quite delicious, bring some back for our younger brothers and sisters, okay?" Mu Xueqing discussed with Wang An.

Hearing this, Wang An secretly felt ashamed in his heart; he still thought too little, and also thought very unthoughtfully! In this era, as long as it is food related to white flour, as long as it is food related to meat, it is delicious! Not to mention buns!

"Why not, wait a minute! I'll go buy it."

Took a cloth bag with several patches from Mu Xueqing, and took the cloth bag that was intended to divide rice and flour, Wang An ran to the bun shop again!

This time, Wang An bought all the buns in the bun shop, a total of 106, thought about it, put 56 in Mu Xueqing's cloth bag, his own family is not short of meat for the time being, besides, he still has to go into the mountains! Always feel that Mu Xueqing's family's life seems to be very poor! If you have the ability, help more!

Carrying two big bags of buns, walked to the mule cart, poured the remaining 14 buns into Mu Xueqing's cloth bag, in this era, no one will dislike or feel shameful!

If you like it, please give a recommendation + collection, wish you get rich!
