Chapter 218: A Treat? Calculate?
Before she arrived at the drying ground, she heard the sound of arguing and pulling.
It's not the pull of a fight, it's a dispute between the two sides that are polite to each other but don't give in to each other.
"I really don't need to, we've already eaten!" Wang Qian's voice was thin.
Li Xiuzhu's voice was louder, "Qianqian is right, we have already eaten,
Even if we don't eat, we can't come to your door to eat your rations, it's not easy for everyone to live! ”
"Cut~ Just the two of you! Fake Qing Gao! Wu Xiaoyan's standardized mocking tone.
When Duan Huan and Grandpa Xu arrived at the drying field, they saw the two sides of the dispute, one was Li Fanghua, and the other was three female intellectuals.
Li Fanghua's statement is that she heard that these educated youths were having a tight New Year, so she specially invited a few female educated youths to come over for a meal.
Just to be a good person, invite the young people to eat for nothing at home?
That must be impossible, the little abacus in Li Fanghua's heart crackled.
Why don't you just invite female intellectuals, and male intellectuals don't ask?
Her purpose is very clear, to find Xu Chunsheng a daughter-in-law in the city.
On the one hand, in order to leave a gentle and kind impression on the female intellectuals;
second, take these female intellectuals back to let Chunsheng pass by, mainly depending on which one Chunsheng likes;
Third, it is also convenient to find out the temperament of a few female intellectuals, and they can get along well in the future.
As a result, the opinions of the three female intellectuals were not unanimous, and Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian were politely rejecting Li Fanghua's invitation for various reasons.
Wu Xiaoyan maintained her original arrogance, but she was obviously reluctant to refuse the invitation sent to the door, so she was full of resentment towards Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian's refusal.
As soon as Duan Huan appeared in the sight of several people, Li Xiuzhu winked at Duan Huan, "Duan Huan, are you back?" ”
"Just came back, we made an appointment before, didn't we?" He replied with a happy heart.
Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that Duan Huan would go on the road immediately, and the rhythm was so fast that she felt caught off guard, "Are you free now?" I have a few math questions for you when you have time! ”
"Okay, then you can go home with me, I'll just bring you the notes!" Said with a smile.
Li Xiuzhu dragged Wang Qian and rushed to the yard, "Qianqian, hurry!" Let's hurry back and get a pen and notebook! ”
Li Fanghua looked at Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian's movements so fast, and she was directly stunned and didn't react.
She looked at Grandpa Xu's inquiring eyes, and she reacted, "Sixth Ancestor, are you returning from your relatives?" ”
"Hmm!" Grandpa Xu answered, and didn't say anything more.
At this time, Li Xiuzhu pulled Wang Qian and ran out with a few books, "Let's go quickly!" ”
Wang Qian turned her head as she walked and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I still have something to do with Xiuzhu, so I'll leave first, goodbye!" ”
"Whew! If you go to take advantage, you will take advantage, what kind of motivated and intellectual youth you pretend! Wu Xiaoyan scolded quietly.
Li Fanghua saw that two of the three female intellectuals left at once, and now there is only one Wu Xiaoyan left, and she can't let go anymore.
In fact, Wu Xiaoyan looks arrogant, and she is not the type she is satisfied with, but when she heard that Wu Xiaoyan's parents are cadres, she couldn't help but be a little tempted.
If her Chunsheng can marry Wu Xiaoyan, then Wu Xiaoyan's parents have become Chunsheng's mother-in-law, can they not promote Chunsheng?
And now that the dishes at home have been prepared, they can't be wasted, and Wu Xiaoyan will also take them back to see first.
"Xiao Wu, you see that Auntie's meals are ready, you can come with me to try my skills!" Li Fanghua said her salt and pepper Trump with a smile on her face.
Just these few words of salt-and-pepper Mandarin, I learned from Xu Chunsheng at home for several days before I learned what I am now.
Wu Xiaoyan glanced at Li Fanghua twice, she looked at Li Fanghua's clothes patched, and she looked down on her.
Looking at the clothes, you know that you are so poor that you can do good hospitality?
Li Fanghua saw that Wu Xiaoyan didn't speak, and then said hard: "I keep all the wild boar meat that I divided years ago, and I'm ready to invite you to eat for the New Year!" ”
"Wild boar? Wu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up instantly.
Since eating a meal of meat and vegetable dumplings in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she has been eating green vegetables and radishes every day recently, and she has also eaten a dish.
Li Fanghua kept tempting, "No, Auntie bragging, my cooking skills are the best in the village, I guarantee that you will eat once and think twice!" Shall we go? ”
"That's, that's fine!" Wu Xiaoyan thought about it for half a minute, but she didn't resist the power of appetite.
Li Fanghua took Wu Xiaoyan home with a happy face, and shouted excitedly as soon as she got home:
"Chunsheng, this is Wu Zhiqing from the capital, I specially invited her to dinner! Hurry up and move the bench for Wu Zhiqing!
Xia Miao, Qiu He, what are you two still doing in a daze? Still not serving the hot dishes out of the pot? ”
The first time Xu Chunsheng saw Wu Xiaoyan, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
He has been active in the city for more than a year, and he has actually seen many girls with good family conditions.
Although those girls are also very good-looking, they still have a different temperament than Wu Xiaoyan's foreign dress.
Wu Xiaoyan's dress does look very foreign in this era.
The short hair is pinned with a brightly colored hairpin from an overseas Chinese remittance store, and the cotton jacket is a mock military blouse.
A red leader's badge was pinned to his chest, and his pointed scalp shoes were heeled.
Wu Xiaoyan walked in heels, and she was also graceful, which made her feel a little bit of a southern girl's grace.
Xu Qiuhe looked at Wu Xiaoyan, who was dressed exquisitely, and then looked at the pudding on her cuffs, and subconsciously shrank her hand.
Her feelings about Wu Xiaoyan are even more complicated, if Wu Xiaoyan really marries her eldest brother Xu Chunsheng.
Then her eldest brother's status in her mother's heart is even higher, and correspondingly, she is even more sideways in her mother's heart.
However, if Wu Xiaoyan really marries into their family, his eldest brother has a powerful in-law, which will also be good for her future relatives.
It depends on whether her relationship with Wu Xiaoyan's sister-in-law is good or not, if she gets along well, with the help of Wu Xiaoyan's relationship, she may be able to marry someone from the city.
It's not good, she thinks that she has no status in the family, and she feels that she is not even as good as his second brother now.
But what's the solution? Xia Miao can earn work points by playing pigweed in the morning and evening, and she can also pick up mountain goods and sell them for money to earn tuition fees during holidays.
She can't endure these hardships, and she can't get her mother's blue eyes.
Xia Miao came out of the stove room with the dishes, he didn't know what his mother and his eldest brother and his little sister were thinking about.
Even if he knew their intentions, he would not tell them, let alone interfere.
Xia Miao had already seen Li Fanghua's partiality, Xu Chunsheng's selfishness, and Xu Qiuhe's hypocrisy.
Now he doesn't want to care about his family's affairs, and he doesn't have the energy to care.
Xia Miao has spent all her energy in order to study.
He went out to hunt pigweed at five o'clock every morning, and after the pigweed, he trotted to the pigsty cowshed in the village, and when he came back, he had to go out to school immediately after stuffing two mouthfuls of cold rice.
When I get home after school, I put down my schoolbag and continue to hunt pigweed, otherwise I won't earn enough seven cents of work every day.
Holidays are also not idle time, when the farm is busy, you still go to the field, earn an extra job, and when the farm is not working, you have to go to the mountains to pick mountain goods and dig herbs to raise tuition.
The little time left to squeeze out was still used to study, and he asked himself if he was not a smart person, so he had to work twice as hard to maintain his top three rankings in the grade.
