Miao Jing Zhai Yaohui 4

Miao Liang inherited her mother's good looks, and her face was not bad.

Originally, Aunt Miao was unhappy because her daughter was not as good-looking as Miao Liang. In addition, Miao Liang had been working for the family since she was a child, and she was well-known in the production team for her ability.

As a result, when Miao Liang was fifteen years old, people in the village often came to Uncle Miao's house to ask if Miao Liang had a partner and wanted to introduce one to Miao Liang. It didn't matter if she was young, she could get engaged first and get married when she was eighteen.

The first child born to Uncle Miao and Aunt Miao was a girl, who was only a few months younger than Miao Liang.

People who came to Uncle Miao's house to see Miao Liang flattened the door of the house, but Miao Lanlan, who was the same age as Miao Liang, had never been mentioned. Because of this, Aunt Miao hated Miao Liang more and more for overshadowing her daughter. She threw all the dirty and tiring work at home to Miao Liang and made a lot of trouble for Miao Liang.

Miao Liang knew all about these situations.

Even if Miao Liang didn't know, someone would tell Miao Liang: "Miao Liang, I'm your Aunt Li."

"Aunt Li." Miao Liang knew the other party, and the other party often acted as a matchmaker, but the situation was different now. Arranged marriages and blind marriages were not allowed. If they really acted as matchmakers, they would be quite restrained.

Aunt Li grabbed Miao Liang's hand: "Look, a good girl, but her hands are so rough."

Miao Liang pulled back her hand: "Aunt Li, the Chairman said that the working people are the most glorious. I am in the proletarian stage, and I should respond to the party's call and love labor. Now everyone's hands are full of calluses, and this is not called rough hands, this is called glory."

"Then why didn't your second aunt let your sister Lanlan be glorious with you?" Who doesn't know?

If the Miao family had not been poor for three generations, and if the eldest Miao had not saved the life of the Eighth Route Army with his lame leg when he was alive, the second Miao family should have been labeled as landlords just for the way they raised their son and daughter.

Whose 17 or 18-year-old girl hasn't worked in the fields and earned work points to support her family? But Miao Laoer's daughter is so rare. She lies in the house every day, and eats and drinks with the family's money, like a rich lady.

Bah, she doesn't want to be a matchmaker for such a girl.

If such a girl is married to someone's family, wouldn't it be a disaster for the family? Will her reputation be ruined?

"Miao Liang, listen to Aunt Li. Your second uncle's family is really not good to you. Aunt Li will find you a good family who loves you. Aunt Li is doing this for your own good."

Miao Liang smiled: "You are good to me, I know, but I think I am still young and I am not in a hurry to find a partner." If she had the opportunity, she actually wanted to read more books.

When she was young, she didn't have the opportunity to study. Lanlan went to school. After she finished her work, she followed and learned a little.

Later, the school was closed, and the teachers disappeared one by one. Miao Liang's wish to study could not be realized. Fortunately, I heard that the production team might organize a literacy class recently, and the class would be taught by the educated youth who went to the countryside. Miao Liang was very interested in this.

Miao Liang knew that although Aunt Li was doing this for the benefit of the matchmaker, it was also true that she was doing it for her own good.

But she didn't want to get married yet. She knew that once she got married, if she wanted to go to the literacy class to learn to read, the man's family would definitely not agree.

Since the educated youth who went to the countryside came to the production team, the people in the production team especially hated those male educated youths. Because of these male educated youths, the girls in the village were not willing to get married, and their standards became higher. They all wanted to find fair-skinned city people.

In this way, those married young wives would also be strictly controlled by their in-laws and ordered to stay away from those male educated youths to avoid being corrupted.

Miao Liang understood this situation.

She didn't think the educated youth who went to the countryside were better than the men in the village, nor did she think the men in the village were worse than the educated youth, but if she got married, she wouldn't even be allowed to go to the literacy class. Miao Liang really didn't want to get married.

Giving birth in her second uncle's house was not easy, but after getting married, she was controlled by her husband's family to this extent. In addition to having an extra meal at her husband's house, she couldn't do less work, so why was she in a hurry to get married?

"Miao Liang, do you want to find someone like the male educated youth?"

"No, those educated youth are not the same as us." Don't think she didn't see it. Not only male educated youth, but also female educated youth are like this. Look at the people in their production team, their chins are always raised, and their eyes are always mocking. Miao Liang didn't like the attitude of the educated youth.

It's not that all educated youth are like this, but most of them are like this.

Apart from going to the literacy class to learn to read, Miao Liang has never had any other contact with the educated youth.

"Then what about you... Miao Liang, don't say you want to repay your uncle. You don't know that your uncle has such a good life now because of what your father gave him. Without your father, where would your uncle get the house and money to marry a wife and have children? Also, your father died because he was digging ginseng. Your uncle has not raised you in vain over the years."

In fact, Aunt Li did some calculations for Uncle Miao.

Not only did Uncle Miao not lose money by raising Miao Liang, his niece, but he also made a lot of money.

Miao Liang has been helping Uncle Miao since she was five years old. She first took care of her younger brothers and sisters at home, and then washed the clothes of the whole family.

Except for cooking, all the work at home was done by Miao Liang alone.

Of course, Aunt Miao never let Miao Liang do the work on the stove. It was not because she felt sorry for Miao Liang's young age. Her small body was just a little taller than the stove. She was worried that Miao Liang would spoil the food, and she was afraid that Miao Liang would eat first while she was cooking.

So, all the work at home can be assigned to Miao Liang, except this one.

As a result, Miao Liang can do all kinds of work, but she can't cook, because when she was enslaved in Miao Ershu's house, she didn't have the opportunity to cook. After getting married, Grandma Zhai was still alive, so Miao Liang didn't need to do it. When Grandma Zhai died, with the conditions of the Zhai family, there were already aunts to help with the work.

In this way, Miao Liang didn't dare to do less work, and didn't dare to eat more meals. Except for that ginseng, the work points that Miao Liang earned from working for Miao Ershu's family over the years were more than enough to support herself.

So, Miao Ershu really didn't have much kindness to Miao Liang.

Not to mention that Miao Ershu's own daughter Miao Lanlan was raised like a young lady from a landlord's family, and Miao Liang became a little maid next to Miao Lanlan. When she grew up, Miao Lanlan's clothes were all washed by Miao Liang.

Obviously Miao Liang was the elder sister, but Miao Liang always picked up the rags that Miao Lanlan didn't want to wear.

After Uncle Miao got a ginseng for free, he also got a free servant to help him with his work.

It may sound a bit harsh, but it is the truth.
