"Why did you come back so late, we were all in a hurry. Liu Tiantian watched her drink all the herbal tea, and although she complained, the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.

"Isn't it, these children are very anxious, they have been chattering since the afternoon, and if you don't come back, they are all ready to go up to the village entrance to pick you up. Cheng Zhaodi also smiled lovingly.

"I came back later than usual today. Liu Xuexue looked at the sky, usually she came back as soon as it was dark, but tonight it was dark for a while.

"I met Liu Alian at the entrance of the village, and I talked to them for a few words, but I was delayed. After drinking herbal tea, washing her hands and face, the heat on her body went to most of the time, she breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a very comfortable thing to see so many people who really cared for her when she returned home, and home was such a warm existence.

"Eldest sister, Ah Lian won't be studying next semester, do you know?" Liu Ah Lian is Liu Xiangxiang's classmate, and the two often play together.

"I just heard him say that he was going to be an apprentice. ”

"He's going to Li Ergou's house as an apprentice, and he promised to weave a gnather cage for me in the future. Liu Xiangxiang not only didn't sympathize with him, but also looked envious.

Liu Haohao remembered that when she first came here, Liu Xiangxiang was full of enthusiasm for being a carpenter, and she also deceived him by weaving a grub cage.

The craftsman is skillful, and he can make a lot of small toys in three or two clicks, which is very tempting for these boys who have lacked toys since childhood, so Liu Alian is not at all resistant to being an apprentice craftsman.

"What do you know about this child, you go to be an apprentice at a young age, you don't know how much you have to suffer, the apprentice has no salary, and he works for the master's family every day. Cheng Zhaodi is a soft-hearted person, and she can't see others suffering, so she can't stop sighing, "Ah Lian this child is also miserable, I just lost my grandma a few days ago......"

"His aunt is gone? Liu was taken aback, she knew that Liu Alian's mother was not in good health, but she didn't expect to leave.

"Just a few days ago," Liu Tiantian hurriedly said, "His aunt has been sick for so long, and the family has been prepared for a long time, and she didn't make a big deal about it, she didn't make a noise, and she was buried the next day." ”

When they can't even eat their stomachs, no one will go to the funeral, their family can prepare a thin wooden coffin for Liu Alian's aunt, it is already the best of the whole family, and it was carried to the mountain the next day to be buried, her death did not set off any waves in the production team, even her youngest son was calm and looked unconcerned.

"His aunt died, his eldest brother just married his wife, this is his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law thinks that he costs money to study, he is too young to help the family, raising him to eat for nothing, so he wants to send him away, his father can't help his son and daughter-in-law, so he decided to send him as an apprentice. Cheng Zhaodi said while holding the soles of her shoes.

Although she doesn't often go out to gossip with people, Liu Changsheng goes out every night to listen to people's gossip, he is a stuffy gourd who can't beat a fart with three sticks outside, only listens, doesn't speak, but at home there is Cheng Zhaodi, a loyal listener, he will tell Cheng Zhaodi the gossip he hears every night, so she can master the gossip of the entire production team without leaving home.

"This child can't live without his grandma, without his grandma, this day will be miserable. Cheng Zhaodi sighed.

"Grandma is right, if it weren't for Grandma, the four of us wouldn't have had such a good life, the clothes are torn, someone makes up for them, and there are thick cloth shoes ......to wear," Liu smiled and complimented.

Although Cheng Zhaodi is sometimes a little weak, the Virgin is a little, but she still loves a few children very much, plus she is ingenious and hard-working, and has a good needlework, so that the family can wear it so neatly, and these cloth shoes, there are few families in the whole production team can wear them, because the women in the production team can't do needlework, and they can't even accept the soles, most people are usually barefoot, and it is a luxury to have a pair of slippers.

Cheng Zhaodi also married into the Liu family, and followed the family members of the decentralized cadres from the north to learn to accept the soles of shoes, and after their own exploration, the whole family put on shoes.

Cheng Zhaodi was blushing a little by Liu Haohao, but she was still very useful in her heart, and she sneered with a needle, "Just your sweet mouth, you have already set up your mother-in-law's family, I don't worry about you, now it's your second sister, and she is not young, and there are many people who come to propose marriage, I don't know the bottom of my heart,......"

Liu Hao raised his head and glanced at Liu Xuexue, saw that her face changed suddenly, and saw Liu Tiantian give her an unexpected look, knowing that her parents had never leaked in front of them before, and she didn't know what was going on today and would suddenly talk about it in front of her.

Anyway, it is a good thing that Cheng Zhaodi is willing to take this matter out and discuss it with her, at least better than what the couple decided in private.

"Isn't studying going to high school? I'm going to help her see a girl in the commune, our girl has been studying for so many years, and if she still marries someone who faces the loess with her back to the sky, she will waste the money she has spent so many years studying. Liu Haohao said unhurriedly.

"That's what I mean," Cheng Zhaodi nodded approvingly, Liu Hao's brainwashing before was still very effective, "But there are a few families who come to propose, and the conditions are really not bad, and your father and I are a little tempted, so I wonder if we should go and meet first?"

"Oh, which ones are not in bad condition, let's hear them. Liu Haohao looked very interested, and greatly encouraged Cheng Zhaodi.

Although the eldest daughter is too thoughtful, she often upsets them, but she still has to find her when it comes to discussing things and making ideas, the two younger ones are too young and don't know anything, and the second Liu Xuexue is a silent saw-mouth gourd, even if they want to talk about these things, they have nowhere to say, fortunately, Liu is back.

"There is a family that is the son of the captain of the Yueping production team at the bottom of Dadu Commune, tell me, is this condition not bad?" Cheng Zhaodi looked excited, Liu Xuexue was angry and ashamed, and turned around with a white face to leave, but was stopped by Liu Haohao.

"Study, you sit down and listen, this is your life's work, you have to be the master. Now it's not the old society, pay attention to the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, the freedom of marriage, you will agree if you like it, and if you don't like it, you will not agree, no one can force you. Liu Hao took a deep look at Liu Xuexue.
