Hard times have room

Chapter 993
As soon as Wang Baolin left, the old lady went out with her little grandson. She also has old sisters. They all take their little grandson at home just like her. She will take her little grandson out every now and then and chat with the old sister .

Today Pauline came and brought brown sugar to see her. This is her eldest granddaughter's filial piety, but she is not allowed to go out and talk to others. Every time she hears those words of envy and jealousy from others, her mood will improve. .

Bao Lin did not go home immediately, but came to Wang Dongmei's house behind the old house.

She learned from her parents that Dongmei was about to get engaged. The man was a young man from Chenjiazhuang. It was said that the two were classmates in junior high school.

These information were all heard by her parents when they went out to chat with people, and they may not be very accurate. As soon as those gossips are spread, there will be several completely different versions, because some people like exaggerated narratives very much, you Pass me and I pass you, and things will change.

Because it was time to go to work, the Dongmei family was mostly old and weak, women and children. Therefore, Paulin had nothing to avoid, and went straight to the door of Dongmei's house.

Under the persimmon tree in the yard of Dongmei's house, Paulin saw Dongmei. She was picking wild vegetables. She didn't know what she was thinking, laughing and frowning for a while.

"Dongmei." Baolin walked to the opposite side of Wang Dongmei, but she didn't respond at all, so there was a scene where she stood next to Wang Dongmei and called her name.

"Ah?" Wang Dongmei was a little stunned, but she still hadn't reacted.

"Paulin, it's you, you're back." Wang Dongmei happily took Baolin's hand: "Quick, sit next to me."

Pauline took advantage of the situation and sat down: "What were you thinking just now? So fascinated, I walked across from you, but you didn't respond at all."

When she said this, there was a hint of ridicule in it.

"I don't have anything to think about, it's just an ordinary daze." Wang Dongmei replied with a ruddy face, with a soft nasal voice.

She was just thinking about her and Chen Feng's affairs. The day after tomorrow was the official date for the two families. She was both happy and sad.

The joy is that she can marry the person she likes. The boy was chosen by herself. The two are in free love, and they are in love with each other. She is very satisfied with him as a classmate for a few years.

The worry is that she will no longer be part of the Wang family. It will not be long before she will leave the home where she has lived for more than ten years and move to another place to live. She will leave the grandmother who raised her since she was a child. Pulling her grown nephews and nieces by herself makes her feel sad.

Besides, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a big problem since ancient times, and she is not sure. Although the aunt has been very kind in the previous meetings, who can know if that is her true temperament?
"I heard that you are about to get engaged, is this true?" Paulin whispered in Dongmei's ear.

No matter how careful she was with her daughter's family, she didn't want the conversation between the two to be overheard by a third person.

"Well." Wang Dongmei nodded shyly and gave the answer.

"Who is it?" Pauline continued to ask.

"It's Chen Feng, we are in free love, he is my junior high school classmate, the kind at the front and back desks, after getting familiar with it gradually, just"

"Actually, we have known each other since elementary school. We both take classes at Chenjiazhuang Elementary School, but we are not in the same class, so we are not very familiar with each other."

"Anyway, he is very good. I am willing. Now that I am old and young, and I have not been admitted to high school, it is indeed time to start a family."

Wang Dongmei has already passed her 17th birthday, and she has also obtained her junior high school diploma. Influenced by her parents and elders, she feels that she really should start a family and can't delay any longer. Now she is at the right age.

Besides, she can't see any results if she drags it on. She doesn't have a chance to go to high school, it doesn't matter if she finds a job, and it doesn't matter. Staying at home, being rejected by her brother and sister-in-law, is even more uncomfortable. Why don't she just find someone she likes and get married? !
"That's good." Paulin didn't persuade him any more. Everyone has their own aspirations, so why force it.

At least she likes the one who is engaged to Dongmei. At the same time, her parents and family are also satisfied and approved, which is already stronger than the vast majority of girls at this time.

For the next half hour, the two kept chatting. Baolin asked Dongmei about her life at home at school, while Dongmei was curious about how she lived in college.

As for Dongmei's engagement, and the one named Chen Feng, the two had a tacit understanding and didn't mention it much, which was inappropriate.

Originally, the two of them had made an appointment to go to Daqinghe to look for snails later, but Dongmei's third sister-in-law came out with the child, saying that she couldn't watch it alone, and the child was crying all the time, so she asked her to help coax her.

Dongmei's family used to have a large population, but now her four or five elder brothers have all married wives and had children, and there are even more people. There are more than 20 people in a large family, which is too crowded.

As for Dongmei's engagement, her sisters-in-law agreed with both hands and feet. They had long been eyeing the small single room where Wang Dongmei lived. Once she got married, the room would be vacant.

Although it is not clear how it was allocated, the previous owner has already gone out.

Dongmei went to coax the child, and Paulin went home by herself. As for the appointment to go snail snails just now, it is naturally over.

After Paulin returned home, she took a basket and a straw hat and went out. She planned to touch the snails by herself.

Now the water level of the Daqing River has dropped a lot. Baolin is standing in the middle of the river. The river can submerge her shoulders at most. This is normal. It is summer and it is a hot day. It is good to have water in the river. .

Although there is a lake in the upper reaches of the Daqing River, the lake is a natural lake, not a man-made reservoir. The water storage capacity is not strong, and it is easy to dry up. When there is a lot of rain, there is a lot of water in the lake, but when there is little rain. , the water in the lake is also less, can not play a big role in regulating.

Paulin took the basket directly to a small tributary in the upper reaches of the Daqing River. The water in those small tributaries is very shallow, and there are fish and crabs. If you are lucky, maybe there will be some harvest.

After staying outside for more than two hours, it was too hot. Paulin returned home with a bag full of food. She went through several small tributaries. Whether it was snails or snails, there were quite a few in her bag, enough for their family to eat.

In addition to the snails, there are six-finger-sized small fish in the back basket. The color is very beautiful. The kind that can shine under the sun. The largest fish is the size of a thumb, so Pauline has already caught it. It's a big deal.

There were three crabs, all as big as her palm. Those small ones had no meat, and she didn't like them.
