Create a home with a system

Chapter 83
It can be seen that this group of people can't turn their minds. Could it be that Jiangnan has become so rich that every household doesn't need girls to work?

Because of their confusion, the group even asked a local person to ask. Only then did they know that the women here do not need to go to the fields before they get married. I don't do much physical work, but earn more than men, so I'm naturally more valued than girls in other places.

Xiaozao looked at Li worriedly after knowing the situation, "Mother, I don't know how to raise silkworms, weave cloth or do embroidery, and I don't have the ability to make money like Aning, will you despise me?"

She was so nervous, this journey was like dragging oil bottles, she wanted to help but couldn't help, so she could only play with Nizi and Axie, this feeling was too bad.

Mrs. Li patted Xiaozao's head with a blush, "We are not from Jiangnan, what are we doing learning from those!"

She is already worried now, the girls here are so powerful, her Xiaozao family can't compare with others at all, what will be said about her in-law's family in the future?
Mrs. Jiang also has a daughter, knowing why Mrs. Li is in a bad mood, she turned her head to look at her girl who wanted to look like a tomboy, and felt dark, so she patted Mrs. Li on the back. , said solemnly: "If it's not possible, we can get married."

"Really?" Li Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "I've already taken a fancy to your Ah Zhong. It just so happens that my Xiaozao is about the same age as him, and the two children grew up together. It's best to be together. !"

Jiang Shi: "." No, she didn't mean that, the damned Li Shi actually took the lead!
Wei Dazhi is indeed a treacherous and cunning man. Hearing Li Shi's words, he immediately grabbed Tang Junsheng's hand excitedly, "In-laws! We will be in-laws from now on! Everyone, be a witness, my Xiaozao and Tang Zhong are engaged!"

Tang Ning: "." What's the situation, she was only distracted for a while, how did Tang Zhong get engaged?Could it be that he did something?
Tang Ning glanced over with unfriendly eyes, but she saw that Tang Zhong was more dazed than anyone else, sitting on the mule cart and listening to the teasing and congratulations from the people around him, she couldn't recover for a long time.

The idiot pushing the cart excitedly yelled at him, "Ah Zhong, we used to be good brothers, and we will be a family in the future!"

Tang Zhong's eyes lit up, thinking that this might be a good idea, he immediately grinned like a fool.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is different from marrying a daughter. The Wei family eagerly married the Tang family. Tang Junsheng and the Jiang family naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, they knew the basics and came from the same place. In the future, there will be no major problems in getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Tang Ning silently watched this, and shook her head helplessly. Although she had heard that there were no rules for poor people to get married in ancient times, and sometimes a woman picked up on the side of the road could be a daughter-in-law, but she still felt a little unbelievable when she met her. The happiness of this woman's life It's too hasty!
Stopping and stopping along the way, the speed was extremely slow. Seeing that it was getting dark, they failed to reach Anhong County, so they simply found a roadside inn to stay overnight, and celebrated the engagement of the two families by the way.

Tang Junsheng wanted to order some good dishes, but he had limited money in his pocket, so he could only order three dishes of vegetarian dishes, two dishes of fried vegetables with sliced ​​meat, one dish of scrambled eggs with green onions, one dish of peanuts, and a pot of soup. Eight kinds of dishes, ask for auspiciousness.

The four members of the Huang family served as witnesses, and they substituted tea for alcohol if they couldn't afford it.

Wei Dazhi, Tang Junsheng, and Huang Desheng tasted the meat alone, before the others dared to move their chopsticks.

Just a bite of scrambled eggs with chopped green onion made several children so happy that they couldn't find the north.

Tang Zhong said excitedly to Tangning while eating, "Sister, the scallions here are more fragrant than ours. Ours is either green onions or wild onions. The taste of wild onions is not as good as this."

They picked a lot of wild onions when they went into the mountains, sometimes they ate them with roasted bird eggs, sometimes they took them home to cook porridge, but no matter how they were cooked, they still had a slight astringent taste.

"It's natural. Different varieties, different places where they grow, will have different appearance and taste. Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges grown in Huaibei, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. To be honest, our land is not suitable for growing things. !" After Tangning finished speaking, she casually took a bite, but when she looked up, everyone else was looking at her.

"What's wrong?" She touched her face, puzzled.

Tang Zhong shook his head and asked curiously, "Sister, have you ever eaten oranges and oranges?"

Tangning shook her head, "I've heard people say, but now that we're in the south of the Yangtze River, we should be able to eat a lot of fruits. In the future, you might be able to taste oranges."

Tang Zhong believed in the pancake she drew, looking forward to it.

Everyone went back to rest immediately after eating, and got up before dawn the next day to hurry. In order to reach Anhong County as soon as possible, they didn't dare to delay. .

As soon as they arrived in Anhong County, they clearly noticed the gap between this place and other places in Suzhou.

When passing through the orchard, many of those fruit trees were down, soaked in the water, it seemed that they could not survive, and the ones that hadn’t fallen did not know what was going on, and their eyes were bleak.

Walking all the way, I didn't meet a few people, and even those I met were some distance away from them.

The more people go, the more uncertain they feel.

Jiang asked in a low voice: "Father, do you think everyone here has left?"

"It's okay to say that it's all gone, I'm afraid it will be" Li's voice trembled a little, and Tang Rou and the others were so frightened by her that they didn't dare to look around. The tiger's den entered the wolf's den again, and they really couldn't afford it.

Tang Junsheng looked solemn, and finally saw a villager on the ridge of the field, hurriedly rushed over with Wei Dazhi, stuffed two wild fruits for him, and then asked about the general situation here.

When the two came back, their faces were a little ugly.

Jiang asked, "How do you say?"

Tang Junchang sighed and shook his head, "The man said that Pingyuan Township is two miles away, but the entire village of Pingyuan Township was washed away by the flood, and very few people survived. Fleeing, not many came back during this time, the whole village is like a village of the dead."

"Can people live in this kind of place?" Wei Dazhi was worried.

Jiang Shi and Li Shi were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

Tangning looked ahead and said, "The person who helped us yesterday is from Pingyuan Township. Maybe it's not as bad as we thought. Let's go and have a look first."

Even the donkey's pace was a bit heavy this time, and after a while they finally entered Pingyuan Township.

As soon as they entered the village, everyone immediately found that it was full of ruins, dead branches and broken trees, as well as many sundries washed down from the upstream and thick silt. It looks loose and fragile, but it is full of moisture, and a layer of mud can be peeled off with a pinch.

The house was clearly unusable and beyond repair.

The more you go in, the colder everyone's heart becomes.
