God always likes to joke with human beings, making the originally simple relationship of a qiē complicated, and no one knows what the setting will be in the next second. When you are happy, he may make you cry with joy, or he may make you happy and sad; When you are sad, he may make things worse for you or surprise you.

Shufen and Fushun's "arranged marriage" is already well known in your Yangjiawan, and everyone is envious of Yang Zegui's foresight. But the difficult scriptures of each family are clear only to their own families.

Shufen had a big quarrel with her parents, and she ran to Xie Jiaba's eldest sister's house and never came back. Xiao Haitang sweetly called "second aunt", making her forget the troubles at home for a while.

Fu Shun was depressed all day long because of Xiang Yu's sudden disappearance, and the "troubles of young Werther" made him unable to argue with his father and mother. Godfather went to Xiangyu's house, but her house was always locked; Guangwen wrote that Xiang Yu did go to Haixi for an internship.

Yang Zegui and his family were also confused. The two main laborers, one was locked in the house and did not go out, and the other ran to Xiejiaba and did not go home. Fortunately, it is a farmer's leisure, and the two of them can barely fool around the big and small things at home.

Even the sensible Shufei can feel that in this family with slightly better economic conditions, the mood of the relatives has not improved. In Xiao Shufei's opinion, Brother Fushun is not worthy of the second sister at all.

At night, the two of them were worried about the doll's marriage again, and they couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed.

"Mother, if you want me to say that you can't force them like that. Especially Shufen, she is an urgent child again! Besides, they're all young! Yang Zegui sat up, put on his clothes, and turned the lamp on.

"Where did I force her, I just asked her! This matter was decided a few years ago, and now that they are all older, it is time to talk to them! ”

"The dolls don't want to, we can't force them to get married, right? You and I still have to see a personal account and a meeting! ”

"Can that be the same? The two babies grew up together, would they be reluctant to get married? ”

"You're the ...... Can you think about it, and you don't have to do this method to keep the doll. Fuwazi still calls us dad and mother, no, I run away and come back, I just don't know what you are panicking about all day? ”

"What am I panicking about? Do you think you can keep it? I'm telling you, sooner or later, you won't be able to keep one! ”

"Don't be angry! When they think about it for themselves, the boss will definitely persuade the second girl, I guess the rich baby shouldn't have any opinions. You see Shufen is gone, and he can't be happy for a day. ”

"yes, after all, it's still with Shufen. Hey, if she really got married and had a doll, she wouldn't have anything! ”

Yang Zegui didn't answer, and after burning a pot of leaf smoke, he turned off the light and lay down.

The moonlight outside the window shone coldly on the earth, and the chill of early winter crept in, spreading a layer of hoarfrost on the green tiles of the roof.

When Xiao Haitang fell asleep, Shufen's worries came to her mind again. She got into the quilt, hugged her eldest sister and cried bitterly. "Sister, what should I do?"

"Shufen, my sister didn't read any books, and I don't know which one to persuade you. But in my sister's opinion, Fushun doesn't have anything bad! Shufang looked at the sleeping begonia and lowered her voice.

"I didn't say he was bad, we didn't like each other, and neither of us planned to give each other our lives."

"What's the liking or disliking! You say me and your brother-in-law, which one likes which? When I got married, I didn't know each other for a few months, and after giving birth to a baby, he began to lose his temper and sometimes beat me. But when I knew that he had killed someone and thought that he was going to die, I looked at Xiao Haitang and felt that the baby couldn't live without his father! He went to jail, many people called me to divorce and remarry, and there were many bad men in this production team to provoke me, but I felt that I couldn't be sorry for him, I couldn't be sorry for the baby. Hey, swallow the tears in your stomach and wait! It's not ten or twenty years. Shufang took out two iron boxes full of corn kernels from the bedside, "Look, I'm just counting like this, the grains in this box are getting fewer and fewer, won't he come back after counting!" But who knows if he'll beat me or not? Women are like this, only when you take that step, you know how good he is! ”

After Shufang finished speaking, she took out another grain of corn from the box and put it in another box!

Shufen looked at her sister with tears on her face, took a box and counted every difficult day for her sister. She really wants to say that her sister is stupid, but who will blame kindness and loyalty? "Sister, why is our life so bitter?"

"It's not bitter," Shufang smiled with tears, and looked at the little begonia who dreamed of laughing, "I don't think it's bitter at all with her." Her mother-in-law said that she would take her to sleep, but I didn't want to. ”

Shufang went to the cradle and pulled the quilt for Begonia, and returned to the quilt. "Shufen, only when you become a mother do you know that it is not easy to be a mother, in fact, it is harder for my mother than me. She gave birth to six dolls, three of whom are gone, and two are sons. At that time, my father didn't have time to take care of this family, so he held meetings and bookkeeping everywhere all day long, and he was so busy that he didn't get anything in the end. My mother not only has to go to the production team to earn work, pull a few of us, but also plant the little land at home.

"The most reluctant thing for my mother is you. My mother gave birth to you before the full moon and went to the field again, and she put you in a basket and threw you on the field, so that I could watch you. As a result, I got up to relieve myself, and I don't know where a wild dog came running, so I picked you up and ran. Mother frightened, throw away the seedlings and go to pick up, fortunately there are many members, the dog is so scared that you throw you into the ground and run away, my mother rushed over to pick you up and cried! I was also beaten. Since then, my mother has carried you on her back wherever she went, and even tied you to her chest when she planted seedlings in the field.

"There's a brother below you, and he didn't make it to life. Later, there was Shufei again, but as soon as Shufei landed, her father's leg was broken. Dad can't regenerate dolls because of the cut-off. If you think about it, my mother's life is not better than mine, and I still have hope for your brother-in-law. Mother to father, then there is only a lifetime of willing protection. Our dolls have become her remaining hopes.

"Later, Fushun came to our house again, and this life was even more miserable. To tell the truth, my mother is really partial to you, to me and Shufei, she is a yellow vitex at every turn; She couldn't even scold you. Dad wants Fushun to study, but our family can only afford one! The mother, who had always been obedient to her father, insisted on leaving Fushun at home to do her job and let you continue to study. If it weren't for the delivery to the household, you wouldn't have come back to do a living. These are gone, and I don't have any complaints about my mother.

"Shufen, you will know in a few years, in fact, a woman will not revolve around a man for a lifetime, but around a doll. Only we know the pain of giving birth to dolls, and my mother gave birth to five! Counting Fushun, she also pulled four ......" Shufang wiped away her tears with the corner of the quilt and reached out to hold her sister's hand.

Shufen connected what her sister said with the memories in her mind, and tears had already wet the quilt.

Yes, the greatest profession in the world is motherhood!

"Shufen, in fact, my mother said that she wanted to marry you to Fushun. To put it bluntly, it's not to keep you, you know, they don't have this idea for a day or two. is like several uncles and uncles, who don't have sons, and any family will keep their favorite daughter by their side and recruit a son-in-law to be their son. Dad is long-term vision, and he takes Fushun as his own son, and the relationship for so many years is better than recruiting one again. Especially now that this package of production is carried out to households, those who have sons are unwilling to send them out to the door, not only losing face, but also losing land.

"It's the same in our family. Think about it, the only way Dad can keep Fushun and you by his side is to let you get married. Otherwise, if you can't recruit them, you will have to get married. Fushun's mind is not here at all, and now you are the only one who can keep him! ”

"Sister, can I never get married?"

"Silly second sister, you won't think like that in two years! Look at these ten miles and eight towns, there are only men who are single and die of old age, and there are no women who don't marry! ”

"But ......"

"Okay, Shufen, the chickens are crowing and sleeping! I'll go back with you tomorrow, Xiao Haitang has been talking about her grandmother and grandfather for the past few days, and I'll take her back to live for a few days. ”

My sister's words kept Shufen awake all night. This sixteen-year-old child, she has already learned to make trade-offs, she can't let this improved family sink again! The next thing to do is to slowly forget about the people you shouldn't like and change Brother Fushun's mind.

Please forgive the ignorance in the depths of Daba Mountain at that time, which was not uncommon in rural China at that time. Many men whose families are broken and cannot find a daughter-in-law have to take this way to solve the problem of starting a family, and they move their surnames, including their own children, to follow their mother's surname. But these did not affect their enthusiasm for life, and many door-to-door sons-in-law relied on their hard-working hands to revitalize a family under the shape of the countryside.

Liu Fushun's eldest brother, Sun Fuqiang, is one of them......

Yes, this former "activist who studied the Red Book of Books" has long been the son-in-law of the Sun family in Wulong Township. Fushun's dream about the city, about the Yangtze River, and about the sea should wake up! When I woke up, I realized that I had been going the other way. Actually, the dream was not far from him.

When his adoptive father told him the news, he didn't burst into tears, nor did he have the excitement he should have. On the contrary, he doesn't want to see his eldest brother and younger brother yet, and even hates his eldest brother a little!

Fushun sat in his chair, tears wetting the newspaper in his hand. He felt that God had played a big joke on him. Because of this joke, she took Sister Gui Ying to Jiangyun and then disappeared; Because of this joke, he got a young love, and then there was no news; Because of this joke, he met his godfather but abandoned him...... Those who disappeared should not have disappeared, those who knew should not have known, those happy things were not worth being happy, and those sad feelings should not have been sad!

How can he meet his loved ones?

Reproach the big brother for his incompetence and ruthlessness? Since the bloodline is still there, the current three brothers don't even have a real home! Since they are not far away, but in front of his parents' graves, he didn't even see a little paper money and ashes from his brother!

Or do you blame yourself for your remorse and ignorance? It's just a dream, but I chase it without looking back; Obviously turned around, but he was willing to seek the near and far!
