Chapter 44 and Chapter 45 merged
Waiting for the stir-fried pork intestine with sharp peppers, egg sauce, a pot of dipping pickles and sorghum rice to be served, Su Meili began to urge Xia Aiguo to dig out the letter. You said that she was excited for a long time, although she knew that the girl had not been gone for a long time, and she couldn't write anything, but she just wanted to know her situation, and she was really worried.
Xia Aiguo took a sip of wine with Old Man Xia, put down the wine cup, took out the letter from his clothes pocket, and handed it to Xia Qiu: "Read." ”
Xia Qiu stuffed the half-eaten green onions into Xia Dong's hands, and there was egg sauce on top of his green onions, which was wasted on the table.
This letter, written in the summer, is all about personal circumstances, such as the soldier who took care of her by her sister-in-law has left, and recruiting soldiers is not the same thing as her own unit. There are eight girls in the dormitory, and she and her squad leader are rural soldiers, and each of them has a high school education. Let my brother learn some ideas from her enlistment in the army. Sue sù brother, although the country has not proposed how important academic qualifications are now, it is still very advantageous to have high academic qualifications. Reading more is an absolutely very good and meaningful thing. reported that it would be seven yuan and eight cents and five yuan every month, and when he became a cadre and was no longer a recruit, he would be able to pay more than 20 yuan. There are also instructors who tell them what kind of training and learning she will have in the future. In the end, the children told Su Meili that her military uniform would be saved, and when a new one was sent, she would mail it to her, so that she would be as beautiful as her sister-in-law. also told Xia Aiguo to eat more vegetables, don't eat pickles all the time, if your body collapses, you won't be able to make up for anything you eat at that time. In particular, I muttered two sentences, so that Xia Dong is less naughty, how should I behave xiàn......
"My sister really doesn't attract people's thoughts, I haven't eaten the eggs well, so I hope she will mention me a few words, but the result is good, it's all chatter. Ay! Xia Dong sighed like a little adult. He thought that his sister would go to the back mountain to graze sheep and cry, and his sister actually treated him like this. He now cleans up the chicken coop every day, chops chicken food, and goes out to play and picks up some firewood, is it easy for him?
Everyone laughed after hearing this kid's complaint. After the fever was tossed to the hospital this summer, the summer and winter tubes were extremely strict.
"This time, it's okay, and I also have an address, write a letter to tell Sù Tiantian about Qiu'er, and let her follow Lehe. Our family really went according to what Tian Tian said during the New Year. Good news one after another since the beginning of the year. Old man Xia smashed a sip of wine.
Su Meili couldn't close her mouth when she mentioned this. She really didn't expect that there would be so many happy events in her beautiful life. First of all, the daughter went to be a female soldier in several counties to produce one, and this time the son was a proper child again, and was selected to be a college student of workers, peasants and soldiers. I will report in September, not far from home, Longjiang University, the provincial capital.
"Yes, Qiu'er, while you haven't left yet, you can ask your sister again, what are you going to study in college? Your father said that he would study science and engineering, and that the brigade would broadcast widely, and our great leader said that he should study science and engineering. You and your sister are both cultural people, you two communicate? Su Meili felt that her family had always had a special idea in the summer, so she asked her daughter, lest she and Xia Aiguo have dark eyes and ask what they don't understand.
The rest of the group nodded their heads. You have to ask them to play with the dealer, what they can tell you is the way, and you really don't understand this question.
Xia Aiguo was excited when he mentioned his eldest son now. You said that his son is going to become a college student, what kind of honor does this have? Every year in their commune, they would choose to send one or two away, but he felt that this matter was far from him. One is that he feels that he doesn't have the ability to win for his son, and the other is that his eldest brother Xia Aihua is not dealing with a leader in the commune. This year, for some reason, the boss came down, and his eldest brother began to break his leg, and his mouth was worn out to go to college. won the quota, and went back to the village to get votes for his family Qiu'er. In fact, their old Xia family doesn't dare to say it in other places, but the popularity in Lishu Village is definitely leveraged. Besides, the workers, peasants, and soldiers are not blindly selected, they all have conditions, they require a junior high school degree or above, they cannot be rich peasants, they have a glorious political background, they must be poor and middle peasants, they must be about 20 years old, and it is better to be unmarried. After listening to the request at that time, he pulled his fingers and calculated, which was simply tailor-made for their family's summer and autumn.
There are also gossips in the brigade, but when his father hears a sentence outside, you can look in the village and see if you can find a few who are not married and are still in Chinese. If Xia Qiu is unqualified, it is estimated that the eldest brother will send the whole person away, which is definitely a mistake. But Xia and Autumn are completely in line, and the virtuous do not avoid relatives.
Thinking of this, he said: "Dad, my eldest nephew Xia Wen, don't you have any opinions now?" After all, if you are not married, there is no hard and fast rule, my eldest brother helps Qiu'er like this, don't hurt the hearts of your children. Xia Aiguo sandwiched a large number of chopsticks and pig intestines to Xia Mu.
"It's okay! In the future, if the autumn is good, let him help him more Brother Xia Wen, what is a brother, this time you can be regarded as having a deep understanding, breaking bones and connecting tendons. Look at your eldest brother, who usually loves calves and looks at Xia Wen with eccentricity, although this time he may be a little unwilling why Xia Wen can go to it, but it is still too rare. When Old Man Xia said this, he couldn't go on. Don't leak out the eldest son's bottom, this is for the younger son to hear, don't show it now, don't be a pimple in the future. But then again, this time the eldest son was so good, he was quite surprised. decided that it was his nephew who went, and Xia Aihua still took care of it, and everyone who was busy followed the fire, with a big bubble on his mouth, and he couldn't wait to ride a bicycle to the commune three times a day to ask for a letter. He's okay too!
Su Meili stabbed Xia Qiu, which meant to make Xia Qiu show her attitude. Xia Qiu scratched his head: "Grandparents, I don't know if I can make a difference in the future, but I know that my surname is Xia, and I will really do it in the future, my uncle has been to my family for so many years, especially me, I understand in my heart, and Brother Xia Wen talked to me, saying that he was going to be an accountant in the brigade, so I don't have any burden." ”
The old lady actually wants to say that the boss asked Xia Qiu to be a soldier here, and you really don't have to have any burden Qiu'er! But can she say? After saying that when she went home, the old man had to fight with her, saying that she was provoking brotherly feelings. Besides, she eats and drinks at the eldest son's house, and pays attention to the affairs of the old family at the younger son's house, in that case, she herself feels that her waist is not straight.
When he first heard about it, and there was still hope of running it, Xia Aihua went home and told everyone, and Zhang Qiao's eyes immediately rolled. When she and the old man fell asleep in the evening, they listened to the eldest grandson's house, and the child cried and cried.
When the whole family rushed out and called everyone to the big house to ask, this Qiao hair was distributed like crazy, and scolded Xia Wen in a big gulp: "** is not a man, I'm going to be a college student, I don't want a girl, ** I'm going to college, why can't I go with it?" I have to live and raise children for you, what do you mean, I have to fucking earn money for you, and I have to be a widow at the same time?. ”
Listen, listen, what are you talking about, guarding the face of a grandfather and a father-in-law, and keeping the living widows are all out. Besides, I haven't written a word about it! After that, there was a quarrel every two days and a fight every three days. Zhang Qiao just saw the world like this, and he wanted to follow him to the city. I sent back to my mother's house to call someone to make peace. Who can't live like this? This coincidence is as if he really recruited some little ghost. The noisy neighbors all muttered about her house in private.
In the end, the boss Xia Aihua had no recruitment, and if it continued like this, his grandson would have to lose weight. Besides, when I think of Xia Wen getting married, this is a violation of the rules, just Zhang Qiao, who doesn't know the importance of this thing, will sneak into college one day to make a fuss, there is no need to read it, he violated the rules to help his son, this secretary can no longer be saved. Marry a troublemaker at home. For this, Xia Aihua and Zheng Sancai also fought. What kind of eyes are you picking? Forget if you don't have a heart, you're still a loser! Tell Xia Wen and Zhang Qiao directly, okay, don't fight, there's nothing to do with you. In the future, no one will have to worry about going to the city, this Qiao Cai was dumbfounded, she took the opportunity that her father-in-law was reluctant to take, and wanted to take advantage of Xia Wen to enter the city, and she followed to enjoy the happiness. As a result, even Xia Wen was caught up in the trouble for a long time. Xia Aihua thought about it, don't be cheap outsiders, give it to your nephew! decided, Xia Aihua did everything he could to help his younger brother's family. You can't make a chicken and egg fight at the end, you have to let your younger brother and nephew appreciate it, besides, it's good that your nephew has a good future, Xia Wen doesn't have a brother, and Xia Qiu will be close to each other, which is a help to Xia Wen.
The old lady pulled the waistband of her trousers for a long time. Finally, a small cloth bag was pulled out of it. When I opened it, I saw that it was a cloth ticket and an oil ticket: "Take it, second daughter-in-law, don't tear it up, this summer, open the window and open the door, let others hear." Go and make two more clothes for Qiu, and during this time, I also put more oil and stir-fry vegetables to eat to make up for it. This child is the most disadvantaged from your family, and the following is a sister who has to be raised, and my father and mother are used to having a sister to come, and then my sister grows up, and this is a younger brother who is more than ten years younger. What's wrong with it is Xia Qiu, he can't get to the edge of the good, he still has to work, pulling his sister and holding his younger brother, this time it's a good one, and our old Xia family also has a college student! ”
The old lady said a few words, Su Meimei's eyes were full of tears, and she grabbed Xia Qiu's hand tightly, you said that people were still holding green onions in their hands, and she burst into tears here.
Xia Dong thought about it, and asked me not to let my brother eat well, the last time people dipped in egg sauce, you asked my brother to read the letter. This time, my brother just finished dipping and cried again by holding someone's hand.
"It's all young men, a little more relaxed. You ask your grandparents, your uncle was like you at that time, and you paid a lot to be the boss. Xia Aiguo made a concluding speech, asking his son to stop eating, he wanted to sigh a few words together, this girl can chirp and cry all night.
Xia Qiu: I haven't had a narrow heart at any time, I'm happy.
Su Meili relieved herself and picked up the ticket that the old lady gave her: "Dad, mother, I have a total of children in my family, these are gone, Tiantian is enough to come back even for the New Year, I have to go to college for three years in the autumn, and I can come back during the winter and summer vacations, and the family has a hairy child in summer and winter, and he is still older, so he doesn't mess around, you two move in with us, and the centimeters can be returned to the eldest brother, just eat, drink and live in my house, so that the eldest brother and sister-in-law can also relax, I have no burden with patriotism, unlike the eldest brother's family. ”
Xia Aiguo then poured wine for Old Man Xia, and began to persuade: "Come on, Dad." Who said that the separation was with my eldest brother at that time, so I had to be there all the time, this plan has not changed quickly, let me support the elderly, and the second son will not support the elderly? In the future, this kid in Xia Dong won't support the two of us, you see if I kick him to death! ”
Don't mention how depressed I am in summer and winter, why do you want to be a good thing, such as letting me go to college as a soldier and taking me to take the green train, why don't you have my share? What's not good, just take me as an analogy, what's wrong with the second child? The second child deserves to die? You're going to kick me to death at every turn. Sullen pursed a small mouth, I am nothing in this family. Mother, why don't you hold me and cry? Hold on to me for me.
Old man Xia and the old lady glanced at each other, thinking about it? Now the situation is different from the beginning, and the burden on the second family is the lightest. This summer, summer and autumn, one pays salaries, one country gives allowances, and eats and drinks outside. The second child and the second child's family are still strong laborers, and it is not a burden to support them. Old man Xia lit the cigarette pouch and pot, and thought about it while smoking the cigarette pouch, the key is that the second family is not messed up, the second family will have trouble, and his wife and son can get along with her better than Zheng Sancai. I also feel that the eldest grandson has been fighting for a long time recently, and Zheng Sancai is still bored and can't persuade him, and he is really angry when he looks at it.
"Grandparents, come here, I believe my sister is the happiest and most approving of it, I have heard my sister muttering, I am going to take you two into the city to live, but at that time I thought she was daydreaming. Besides, I don't have to write two letters in the future. Xia Qiu looked at this, the two old men showed signs of loosening, help his father add fire, or wait for him to leave, Dongzi is still young, he is afraid that his father and mother will find life boring.
"Go back and think about it, if that's the case, you can't just move here, what are we doing, I have to give you a centimeter." Wait to think about it, and then send a message to Kotoko and Tiezhu, and go back to study it together. "Old man Xia is very happy, and his children are rushing to support them, which shows that they are reasonable old men, and they are not welcome at such an age.
Xia Aiguo can't make a fuss, his father loves to trouble, what's negotiable? Let them stay here tonight and get used to it. After discussing the introduction of writing a reply to the summer for a while, he deceived the second elder to live.
