The Xu family on the street of Shangxitang is very famous, Yu Xiling's family heard about the deeds of this family when they moved over, and heard that Xu's father and Xu mother were all revolutionaries in their early years, and several children were born in the base area, but the conditions were bad at that time, the children died young, and the loss was lost, and only the youngest single seedling remained, and he also joined the army at the age of eighteen.
Xu Zheng is a posthumous son, when he was still in his mother's womb, his father sacrificed, not long after he was born, his mother sent him back to his hometown grandmother, and he returned to work non-stop, and died honorably in a special operation in less than a year, the Xu family is a family and two martyrs, very respected.
As his name suggests, Xu Zheng is an iron-clad man, in addition to being a soldier, he is particularly filial and obedient to the Xu family's grandmother and aunt's family.
looks good, the character is really good, the old lady in the neighborhood introduced him to Yu Xihua, because she really thinks that Yu Xihua is a good girl who looks outstanding and capable, as for the academic qualifications, to be honest, the older generation doesn't care much about these, the important thing is the girl's own character ability.
"I have to mention this to my second daughter-in-law first." Hearing that it was Xu Zheng who was talking about, Grandma Yu's heart shook first, she was indeed a good child.
The old lady was very confident in Xu Zheng, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." ”
Now that Xu Zheng is still in the army, he is not in a hurry about this matter, and it is normal to ask the opinion of the girl's mother, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along with, and the old lady herself has a daughter-in-law, so she naturally knows Grandma Yu's difficulties.
Aunt Yu will now lead Yu Zhuangzhuang to the city every few days and send some fresh vegetables from home, and soon learned that someone introduced Yu Xihua to the object, and she was very proud, or her daughter was well raised and destined to marry in the city.
"Soldier?" Aunt Yu was hesitant in her heart, these years are not like before, when soldiers were popular, and now those who pick sons-in-law are more business-oriented in state-owned enterprises, and they are glamorous inside and out.
Yu Jianguo is a soldier in the family, Xu Zhaodi's life was not easy before, one person has to take care of the two old ones, the land at home is all taken care of by her alone, a few acres of land weeding, pesticides, spring planting and summer harvest are her work as a woman, and later she has to raise her own children, how hard the life is, Aunt Yu can see it.
She is patriarchal, but Yu Xihua is also a piece of meat that fell from her body, it is naturally the best to marry well, she will never pick a bad man with money for her with a bad heart, and she is not a stepmother.
But when I think about it, being a soldier is not bad, just look at Yu Jianguo, I know that it is probably not a problem to have an allowance every month to support the family, and it will definitely not be worse than Yu Jianye in the future, the Xu family's parents are martyrs, and the country must take care of it.
Thinking like this, most of the doubts in Aunt Yu's heart were removed, but there was still a little leeway, "Then let's see you first, if you don't get anywhere, you have to see Xihua herself." ”
When Yu Xiling knew about the blind date, the grandmother of the Xu family and the aunt of the Xu family had already come to see Aunt Yu and Yu Xihua.
"What's going on with you guys? Blind date or parent? Yu Xiling is also a person in the past at this time, and she is not rejecting blind dates at all, and even when she reaches a certain age in her heart, she feels that blind dates are much more reliable than free love.
But like the Xu family and Aunt Yu, she really hasn't seen it, and the man is not there, so she fell in love like this?
"I don't know." Yu Xihua was sullen, lowering her head and stirring the soy milk in the iron pot, now the main task of making tofu fell to her, Yu Xiling was mainly responsible for kneading the dough and making dried and fried tofu.
The old lady of the Xu family seems to like her, but Aunt Xu is still a little picky about her, and when she left, she gave Xu Zheng's address to her, so that she could write to the other party when she was free, but ...... Yu Xihua lowered her head in frustration, she followed Xiling to learn to write and learn, and now she can only write her name and simple numbers, how to write a letter?
Could it be that when the matchmaker introduced him, he didn't make it clear to the Xu family? What does Aunt Xu mean by this, so that she will retreat?
"Sister Xihua, you have to stand up for this matter yourself, you are not a blind date, you have to meet the other party officially, and talk about it when you are sure that you can get along, don't be stupid to listen to a few words from the Xu family, and treat the other party as an object." Yu Xiling's this is not unfounded, there are many girls in the countryside who are coaxed by a few kind words from the other party's family, and there are more people who are cattle and horses before marriage.
Yu Xihua is hardworking and simple, but she has really never seen the world, and Yu Xiling is really worried that she will be coaxed.
"Hmm." I didn't think there was anything, but after listening to Xiling's words, I felt weird, Yu Xihua blushed and decided not to think about anything, and waited for the other party to come back from family leave and officially meet before talking.
In the past, the two cousins put more energy into the tofu workshop, and the Yu family tofu gradually gained a reputation in the county, and there were already canteens or restaurants that took the initiative to order tofu, and there were a lot of them.
Uncle Yang, after going to the county seat for a month, also asked his nephew Yang Yinglong to come to the door and tell them that the tofu in the future of the restaurant was also set at their house, and the amount was quite a lot, at least four big plates a day.
Yu Xiling rubbed his sore arm, frowned and counted the beans to be used the next day, and measured them into a large basin, Grandpa Yu looked distressed, "Xiling, recruit someone, don't treat yourself as a strong laborer if you are still young." ”
Recruiting people must be recruited, Yu Xiling has been thinking about this matter for this time, she wants to call Xu Zhaodi to help her more than recruiting outsiders who don't know the details.
During this time, the family's soy products are in short supply, Grandma Yu's door stall has not been out of the stall for a few days, this will be sitting on the edge of the window sill with needle and thread sewing cloth shoes, the family is old and young running outside all day long, the cost of shoes is more, the supply and marketing cooperatives sell the liberation shoes are worn, but there is never a cloth shoes made by themselves to wear comfortable.
"You have to recruit quickly, this person is not iron-clad, how can he survive so tired." Grandma Yu sighed, raised her hand and pinched the tip of the needle and scraped it on her scalp a few times, lowered her head and sewed it up again, "This is not the past, the hired person is the old landlord, I looked at the incense and candle maker on the street and invited several people, Xi Ling, the money is inexhaustible." ”
Grandma Yu felt sorry for money, and even more distressed about the health of her two granddaughters.
"Grandpa, grandma, do you think my mother can come?" Yu Xiling raised her head and asked Grandpa Yu.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu glanced at each other, and they both had the answer in their hearts, probably not.
Grandpa Yu thought for a while, "I'm going to send tofu to school tomorrow, I have to go to your parents and tell you, if not, let's find one nearby on the street." ”
If you want Xu Zhaodi to come, you must first pass Yu Jianguo's pass, but the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Yu family know that this pass is probably impassable.
"Then what's the matter, there's a lot of things at home, Nuan Nuan is still living at home, if Xu Zhaodi leaves, who will take care of her, me and Xishan...... No, no, no. Yu Jianguo waved his hand when he heard it.
I usually don't think that when Grandpa Yu mentioned that he wanted Xu Zhaodi to go to the county seat, Yu Jianguo immediately felt that Xu Zhaodi was important, if she left, who would do the cooking and washing work here, Nuan Nuan and Yu Xishan had to get up early in the morning to go to school, and Xu Zhaodi had to prepare breakfast.
"Kiyama can do anything." In the past, Yu Jianguo was outside, Yu Xishan followed Xu Zhaodi since he was a child, and he took his sister to the stove to do laundry and cooking, and he could afford to put it down, "Zhaodi now has little money a month for doing odd jobs, go to the house to do it, and give her a salary of forty yuan a month, which is not better than doing odd jobs in a shoe factory, and it can also reduce your burden." ”
Yu Jianguo sneered, forty yuan! When he first went to work, he was less than sixty a month, and now it has risen twice and it is only a hundred, Xu Zhaodi can earn forty by making a tofu? "Dad, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, I don't know how much money can be made by such a small tofu shop, and whether you can earn forty a month."
It's really not that Yu Jianguo looks down on Yu Xiling's small tofu business, even if she makes a little trouble in the countryside, she dares to go to the county seat to embarrass people, there is nothing good in the county, who will take a fancy to her little white tofu.
It's not that there are no family members doing business in the township government, like Director Zheng of the Housing Management Department, what does her daughter-in-law do in the clothing business, how long has it been, but Director Zheng has been pulling his face all day long, and he also shook his head when asked, and now he is just barely maintaining.
If Ye Tingfang was here and had dealt with Director Zheng a few times, he would definitely know that people have made a lot of money, and they have a tense face all day long, because they are afraid that they will be too happy and disgusting!
Only Yu Jianguo, what he hears with his ears and sees with his eyes, never observes and thinks deeply.
"......" Grandpa Yu was so choked by Yu Jianguo that he couldn't speak, and left the township government with a straight face, although he didn't have much hope for the eldest daughter-in-law herself, he still turned around and went to the shoe factory in the town and called Xu Zhaodi out.
I heard that Yu Xiling is now busy with swollen arms every day, Xu Zhaodi can't wait to go to the county town to help immediately, but thinking of Yu Jianguo hesitating again, she is 10,000 willing to go in her heart, she is willing to pay no salary, but the child's father will definitely not agree.
"Dad, I have to ask Jianguo's opinion on this matter." Xu Zhaodi squeaked and spoke, bowed her head and bowed her head, and the whole person showed a bit of a rickety old look.
Grandpa Yu sighed, he knew that it would be like this, and waved his hand, "I'm from Jianguo, he doesn't agree, forget it." ”
"Eh, Dad......" Xu Zhaodi wrung her fingers, feeling lost and sad, but she couldn't disobey Yu Jianguo's opinion, and her face was full of embarrassment.
This kind of thing is originally a dilemma, Grandpa Yu also knew Xu Zhaodi's difficulties, signaled her not to take it to heart, and left with his hands behind his back.
But until Grandpa Yu walked away, he didn't hear Xu Zhaodi's voice calling him.
It was determined that Xu Zhaodi would not come, although Yu Xiling was disappointed, she was helpless, and she had no idea to ask Xu Zhaodi's opinion in person again, compared to her daughter, Grandpa Yu's public mouth was much more weighty than her, which was all rejected, and she had nothing to say.
Xu Zhaodi didn't come, Yu Xiling began to think about recruiting people on the street, to be diligent and clean, there is work in her eyes, and there are not many capable women with her mouth, it is quite difficult to find, there are always one or two difficult to do both.
"Xihua, I heard that your workshop is going to recruit people......
