Each person has a bowl of rice soup, in which you can see a few grains of rice, men have two nests, women and children are one, and boys are two.

This meal was settled, but it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already dark.

Now there are two meals a day, and everyone lies down early after eating, saving themselves from sleeping and being hungry.

The little thing I eat, all the urine is gone, and I think about eating without sleeping, which is really torturous.

The old lady lit a kerosene lamp in this room, and was sitting cross-legged on the kang, with the eldest son and the third child sitting next to the kang, and the rest went to sleep.

Just as the old lady was about to get angry with her impatient face, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Is Sister-in-law Li at home?"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said to her eldest son Li Siguo, who was sitting by the kang, "Go and open the door for him." ”

"Hey." Li Siguo got up and went out.

After a while, a few words of greeting came from outside, and with the sound of feet stepping on snow, they entered the house.

As soon as I entered the door, I was a man in his fifties, with a thin figure, a but radiant face, holding a bottle of canned peaches in his hand, and a yellow paper bag, I don't know what it was.

He was followed by a boy who was more than 1.6 meters tall, who looked polite and polite, and wore a pair of glasses, looking like a person.

As soon as Li Siyu saw this person, he knew that it was the original owner's transcendent brother.

"Old sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I still came to disturb you at night, this team has a lot of things, and I hurried over after eating." Zhang Dahai, the captain of Dahe Village, smiled and made a difference.

Turning his head, he looked at Li Siyu and said, "Siyu is okay, right?" I've heard that I can't go fishing with the boy in the future, how dangerous it is in winter. ”

Li Siyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Dahai, nodded with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, I'm much better, I definitely won't go in the future." ”

Zhang Dahai nodded.

The old lady didn't expect Zhang Dahai to say this, but she didn't say anything else, "Dahai, our two families have always lived in this village, and we have always had a friendship with the older generation. ”

Zhang Dahai listened to the old lady talk about the old relationship, and his eyes were a little unhappy, could it be that he still didn't agree to withdraw from the marriage? Ready to talk about old love? This is not good, my son has explained everything, and he will meet his parents with his classmates when he returns to the city tomorrow.

When people hear that this side hasn't been broken yet, what's the matter?

"Sister-in-law of the Li family, I have really suffered you over the years, but fortunately, Siguo is still filial piety, otherwise this family will not be able to hold up." Zhang Dahai directly interrupted the old lady's words, I was afraid that she would say endlessly, it was dark this day, what was the business to say in the ink club?

"That is, Siguo is indeed good, filial piety and admitted." The old lady nodded undeniably.

Li Siguo has few words, he doesn't have those hearts, he has been working since he was a child, and even his wife is a little careful, so he didn't encourage him.

"Sister-in-law Li, I'm here to talk about the two children of Chaoyue and Siyu." Zhang Dahai went straight to the topic and didn't talk nonsense.

The old lady thought to herself, she knew that you couldn't hold it down. She raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Aren't these two children already old enough to get married, don't you say that they will graduate from college? ”

Zhang Dahai sneered in his heart, do you still want to climb high branches? My son is about to become a cadre son-in-law, and he can take over when he gets married, how can he marry a little girl from the countryside in your family?

Zhang Chaoyue was not in a hurry, Zhang Dahai explained everything at home, and asked his father to say that he would apologize in the end.

"Sister-in-law of the Li family, I won't tell you, it's a new era now, and if you don't want to make that arranged marriage, it is only in the old society, and it will be criticized." Zhang Dahai said with a sad face.

It's not that the old lady hasn't seen the world, this kind of doll kiss is just nonsense, and it scares her?

"Yo, brother, we can't afford to wear such a big hat." The old lady tore off a cigarette pouch from her waist, and Li Siguo on the side picked up a match by the kang and lit it for her.

The old lady took two puffs and said with a smile: "Although I am a rural mud leg, I don't know anything, you don't have to scare me with that set, I don't know what you think in your heart." ”

Zhang Dahai saw the old lady knocking on the cigarette pouch with a smile, and he said with a smile: "Sister-in-law of the Li family, it's not the brother who scares you, and the matter of this child can't be reluctantly not, since you also know, I won't go around the bush, and the matter of the two children will be settled." ”

The old lady put the cigarette stick in her hand on the kang and looked at Zhang Dahai.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhang Dahai continued: "I also know that Siyu girl has been by Chaoyue's side for the past few years, and she must also have feelings, and I can't help it, I can't persuade Chaoyue to meet like-minded classmates in college." ”

Zhang Chaoyue glanced at Li Siyu, who had been bowing his head and not speaking, with a little disgust in his eyes, but he did not forget what his father had told.

"Siyu, I'm sorry for you, I have a lot of topics in common with her. I'm sorry! ”

Li Siyu lowered his head and smiled secretly, but he still didn't raise his head or speak. At this time, it is the old lady who has to make up her mind, after all, she is not easy to talk about this matter, if it is the original owner, maybe she will be splashed and rolled around now.

The old lady sighed, thinking that Li Siyu was reluctant, but she also knew that this transcendence was to hate the poor and love the rich, and it was impossible to hand over the little girl to such a person.

"That's it?" The old lady glanced at Zhang Dahai, but she didn't give Zhang Chaoyue a look.

Zhang Dahai sneered in his heart, sure enough, he had to lose some meat, otherwise this old lady would not be able to let herself go out safely.

"Old sister-in-law, I'm not looking for statisticians in the lumber yard in Xinxin Town, and there are accountants, there are two places on our team, I plan to leave one for Siyu, and when Siyu goes to work in the town, won't there be more choices in the future?" The meaning of Zhang Dahai's words is naturally that Li Siyu may find someone to eat and supply food in the future, isn't that good?

Of course, the old lady also heard it, but she didn't expect that there would be this benefit, and there was no need to marry the Zhang family anymore when this happened.

"Mom, I don't want this job." Li Siyu didn't want to be talked about, the Zhang family would have taken care of this matter, if they took this place, it would be another thing.

Those who don't know think that their old Li family sold their daughter's marriage for a place to work in the town, which is really ugly.

The old lady also came back to her senses, only to see her sigh, "Siyu doesn't want to leave the house, this matter is just that, your family's affairs, I am also clear in my heart, you take these things and go, there is no need to mention the marriage in the future, and our old Li family does not need you to give anything to charity." ”
