Chapter 128: The sister of childhood friend in the novel (32)
By December, most of the crops on the farm had been harvested.
In December, the temperature in the Great Northern Wilderness had already dropped below zero, so work on the farm became somewhat difficult. For example, when clearing the land, the soil began to freeze, which naturally made it very difficult.
Except for some cold-loving crops, most of them are experimental in nature.
Wang Xiangbei's specialty is not farming, so when he has some free time, he starts doing carpentry work for some people on the farm, or takes Xiaobai to the mountains to hunt.
When Wang Xiangbei sent the rabbit he caught to the Su family for the third time, Su Xiangran didn't dare to accept it because Li Na wouldn't let her.
"Xiangbei, I know you are alone and don't eat much, but winter is almost here, so you should store up some food." Su Ma Li Na returned the rabbit in her hand.
"I have enough." Wang Xiangbei explained to Li Na, and then looked at Su Xiangran worriedly, "Xiaoran, there is not enough meat."
Yes, after spending some time together, Li Na has begun to call him "Xiangbei", while Wang Xiangbei calls Su Xiangran "Xiaoran".
Su Xiangran felt a little embarrassed when she heard him say that. Has the fact that she likes to eat meat spread out? It shouldn't be! But think about it, in this era, who doesn't like to eat meat!
In other words, being able to not eat the meat yourself and give it to her is a sign of being kind to a person, although from the perspective of the previous world, this may seem insignificant.
Thinking of this, Su Xiangran took out the gloves she made of rabbit skin given by Wang Xiangbei and stuffed them into his hands.
"You are always running outside, so you should wear this." Su Xiangran said to him, "You have to hunt and do carpentry work, it's not good to have your hands frozen."
Wang Xiangbei liked the gloves she gave him very much and put them on almost immediately. But then he thought that if he made gloves for himself, would Su Xiangran have no hat?
He pursed his lips, looking somewhat unhappy.
"Why don't you like it?" Su Xiangran clearly saw that he had put on gloves, but why did he change his expression now?
"You made me gloves, your hat?" Wang Xiangbei explained because he was afraid that Su Xiangran would misunderstand him.
"It's okay. I don't have much work to do anymore and I basically don't go out." Su Xiangran waved her hand, meaning that it didn't matter whether she had a hat or not.
Wang Xiangbei tightly grasped the rabbit in his hand, nodded at her, and went back home.
"What a great candidate for a son-in-law!" Li Na said with emotion, "Although he doesn't talk much, he's much more reliable than your father, and he's more caring than your father."
"Mom, what are you talking about! I'm still young." Su Xiangran was speechless. Although she also felt that Wang Xiangbei was not bad, and was very likely an old friend from the previous world, she was only fourteen and had never thought about these things.
"It's not early anymore. It's already December. You'll be fifteen next month." Li Na thought for a moment and said, "When you were in the city, you looked young, but in this area, there are many people who get engaged at the age of fifteen."
Su Xiangran then remembered that the marriage age here is much earlier than in the previous world: "But doesn't the country stipulate that the woman must be at least 18 years old before getting married?"
"Yes! They meet each other at the age of fifteen, get engaged when they find the right person, wait for the New Year to get married, and get the marriage certificate when they turn eighteen. It's like this in many places." Li Na explained the marriage process here to Su Xiangran.
Su Xiangran rolled her eyes and immediately reminded him, "But my brother doesn't have a girlfriend either! He's five years older than me!"
"Your brother?" Li Na smiled awkwardly, "Forget about your brother! Where would girls come from in the forest farm? Besides, few of the girls down there are willing to go up!
Although there are many people with families in the forest farm, everyone has been married for several years before going there! I think your brother will have a hard life!"
"Hey!" It must be said that Li Na's positioning of her son was relatively accurate, but Su Xiangran felt that it could still be saved. "Brother Gu is also in the forest farm. He will get married sooner or later! When he goes on a blind date, bring brother along, and don't pick the best one.
There will always be the right person, so don't worry, Mom."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Na froze. It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned Gu Huanzhi, but she felt even more uncomfortable once she did. She lowered her voice and said to her daughter, "I'm telling you this, but don't spread it.
Your brother is in charge of accounting and is also a teacher at the forest farm, but when I went there with the supply team last time, I found out everything.
It was you, Brother Gu, who gave up his teaching position to him, and sometimes he needs Gu Huanzhi's help in preparing lessons!
Then let's talk about the accounting. Don't you know what your brother's brain is? Anyway, the kid from the Gu family helped your brother a lot.
Now his food rations are earned by others. If he really gets married in the future, will he still rely on others to help support his wife and children?
Gu Huanzhi is a good person, but I won’t mention finding a wife until your brother is able to support the family.”
Su Xiangran was stunned after hearing what Li Na said: "Mom, does my dad know about this?"
"I don't know. I didn't say a word." Li Na sighed, "Otherwise, with your father's temper, a beating would be the least of your brother's punishment."
Su Xiangran: She thought that this naughty cat would change his temper after going up the mountain, but now it seems that he has been spoiled and will always be like this.
But she immediately thought of something else: "If Brother Gu gets married in the future, my brother will come down the mountain!"
"Who knows? A few days ago, your aunt Gu wrote to me and asked me to persuade your elder brother Gu to find a wife!" Li Na was very embarrassed about the task given by Gu's mother. "But when I went to see them last time, I just mentioned this matter.
Your elder brother Gu interrupted me, saying that he wanted to build the country and not consider personal issues. "
