In winter, it was dark early, and after eating and talking for a while, Old Man Su asked the two of them to go to bed quickly.

Old Man Su arranged for Xiao Zhan to sleep on a kang with him, and let Su Xi still live in his previous room.

On the morning of the second day, Susie was woken up by the sound of crackling firecrackers.

The kang was very warm, and Susie woke up and curled up in the bed, a little reluctant to get up.

The voices of Xiao Zhan and Old Man Su came from outside the courtyard.

Xiao Zhan looked at Susie's room, he wanted to go in and tell Susie to get up, but because Old Man Su was there, he couldn't enter Susie's room.

Susie got up and walked out of the house.

Xiao Zhan saw that Susie was up, and greeted with a smile, "Go wash your face and eat." ”

Susie yawned and nodded lazily, Xiao Zhan took a hot water kettle, poured some hot water into the washbasin, and went to scoop some cold water for Susie.

Susie washed her face, Old Man Su had already brought the meal to the dining table, Susie saw that there were still sporadic firecrackers outside the door, so she asked Old Man Su, "Grandpa, it's not the New Year yet, how can there be firecrackers?" ”

Old Man Su said, "Today is Li Qiuyue's wedding day"

Susie raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, "Grandpa, who did Li Qiuyue marry?" ”

Old Man Su said, "It's the director of a textile factory in the town, named Cao Fugui, who is about the same age as Li Qiuyue and his father Li Dashan. ”

"Oh—" Susie lengthened her voice, in a good mood.

He also said to Old Man Su and Xiao Zhan, "Grandpa, Brother Zhan, let's hurry up and eat, and go and see the excitement after eating." ”

Old Man Su didn't like Li Qiuyue's family, so he said, "You guys go, I won't go." ”

Susie was not embarrassed by the old man, nodded again, and after eating with Xiao Zhan, the two left the house together.

After going out, Susie found that many people in the village had come out of their homes and stood outside the door to watch the excitement, but few people came up.

Seeing that Susie and Xiao Zhan came out, the eldest lady and sister-in-law in the village all gathered around.

Susie greeted everyone, and then asked, "Auntie, isn't Li Qiuyue getting married today?" Why don't you go and help? ”

There was a woman in her 30s, with her hands in her sleeves, and snorted disdainfully, "That family is shameless, who would come up without face and skin, it's not shameful enough?" ”

"It's just that I married a husband who is about the same age as her father, and I feel shameless when I say it."

Susie didn't interject, just quietly listened to these women's crusade against Li Dashan's family.

Suddenly, someone asked, "Xixi, isn't your relationship with Li Qiuyue very good?" She got married today, why don't you send her off? ”

Susie smiled, "Auntie said that I had a good relationship with Li Qiuyue before, but later I found out that Li Qiuyue is a person with a bad heart, and often lends me money without saying it, and still says bad things about me outside, and now I have drawn a line with Li Qiuyue." ”

"And that kind of thing?"

"Li Qiuyue's girl, I underestimated her growing up, so she was not a simple person."

"I used to say that Xixi, this kid is honest, I often watch Xixi give Li Qiuyue's girl something to eat, but I didn't expect Li Qiuyue to know gratitude at all, what a white-eyed wolf."

Li Dashan's home;

In the past, no matter who had a happy event in the village, the family would be lively, and more than half of the people in the village would go over to help.

But today Li Qiuyue got married, Li Dashan's house was deserted, the family of four stared at each other, and Chen Xiao'e went out to see it several times, but no one came.

Li Dashan said to Chen Xiao'e with a calm face, "You go out and call some people to come, otherwise your son-in-law will come after a while, and when you see our family is deserted, won't you underestimate us." ”

Chen Xiao'e nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Li Dashan fled with his father and mother to Qinghe Village, so there is no family here, and Chen Xiao'e's relationship with her mother's family is not good, and her mother's family simply did not come today, so it was a good day, and the family was deserted.

Chen Xiao'e hurriedly ran out of the door, walked to the neighbor's house, and saw that the neighbor's door was closed, so she patted it vigorously and shouted a few times but no one answered.

Chen Xiao'e had no choice but to leave.

Chen Xiao'e and her family lived at the end of the village, and they hurriedly ran to the village at this time......

Susie saw Chen Xiao'e running over from a distance.

When the women comrades around them saw Chen Xiao'e coming, they all said, "Chen Xiao'e is here, if she asks us to help, will we go?" ”

"Where are you going? What a shame! ”

Soon Chen Xiao'e came, Chen Xiao'e saw Susie and Xiao Zhan standing on the side of the road at a glance, Chen Xiao'e glanced at the two of them fiercely with her eyes, and then smiled at everyone.

"Sister-in-law Lin, Aunt Xu, you are all here, today is the day when our family goes out in the autumn moon, why don't you go to help?"

"We have something at home, and we can't go."

"It's our own family, why don't we help? You really don't know? ”

Chen Xiao'e's face was a little ugly, and in the end, she had no choice, so she begged, "Auntie, auntie, I usually do something wrong, you are elders, don't worry about me." ”

"But today is the day when the children go out, if you don't help, then our family will really have no face to stay in the village in the future."

"Moreover, our family also has good tobacco and alcohol, melon and fruit candy balls, which you can eat when the time comes."

Some people disdain, but some people are moved, and in the end, after Chen Xiao'e's bitter pleading, there are still a few women who like to take advantage of small advantages, and they follow Chen Xiao'e and leave.

Chen Xiao'e returned home with 5 or 6 women, Li Dashan saw it, and hurriedly greeted her, "Auntie, you are here, please come inside." ”

Chen Suqin is a well-known person in the village who loves to be greedy and cheap, but people are not bad, so she didn't think about coming to Li Dashan's house to help at first.

However, after hearing Chen Xiao'e say that she came to the house to help, there were free cigarettes and alcohol, as well as melon and fruit candy balls, Chen Suqin couldn't help but came to Li Dashan's house.

After coming, as soon as Chen Suqin entered the hall, she saw a plate on the table, with some fruit candy, melon seeds, peanuts, and cigarettes and alcohol on the table.

Chen Suqin didn't say a word, first grabbed a large handful of sugar balls and put them in his pocket, and half of the plate was empty.

Chen Suqin was still not satisfied, so she grabbed a large handful of melon seeds, peanuts, and red dates and put them in her other pocket.

The pockets were all stuffed, and Chen Suqin was satisfied.

He poured a few more cigarettes out of the cigarette case, thinking about going home to smoke for her husband.

The rest of the women comrades, seeing Chen Suqin doing this, naturally did not want to be left behind, and divided the five by two, so they scavenged the contents of the plate clean.

Seeing Li Dashan and Chen Xiao'e distressed, it was not good.

Chen Xiao'e originally wanted to jump to scold, but Li Dashan stopped her and shouted in a low voice, "Today is a day of great joy, don't make trouble." ”

Chen Xiao'e was unwilling, "Can't you just let them take things away?" I'm still thinking about keeping a tie for our family to eat! ”

Li Dashan said angrily, "You think I'm willing to give them to them, it's not that I can't help it." ”

Chen Xiao'e could only admit it.

Chen Suqin got the benefit, her heart was a little happier, and she saw that Chen Dashan's family was also a lot more pleasing to the eye, but she followed Zhang Luo.

Around 10:00, a welcoming party came to the village from the town on bicycles.

Cao Fugui rode his bicycle and wore a big red flower on his chest, and he was in good spirits on happy occasions, and he was very happy with a smile on his face.

The group rode a bicycle to Li Dashan's house, and after about half an hour, the sound of firecrackers sounded at Li Dashan's house, and then the villagers saw the welcoming team and rode back on bicycles.

There is also Li Qiuyue sitting behind Cao Fugui's bicycle, today's Li Qiuyue is wearing a big red cotton jacket, her face seems to be smeared with some rouge, she bows her head and smiles lightly, and she also has a big red flower on her chest, which is also festive.

When the villagers saw this scene, there were not many sincere blessings, and most of them came to see the joke.

Just as Cao Fugui was riding a bicycle and passing in front of Susie and Xiao Zhan, Li Qiuyue raised her head violently.

The two looked at each other, and Susie showed a bright smile at Li Qiuyue, and Li Qiuyue's eyes showed a deep hatred.

After watching the excitement, Susie took Xiao Zhan's hand and went home.

Cao Fugui is a good person, although he was unhappy with his two children in the matter of marrying a wife, but on the day of the marriage, many people in the factory came to congratulate Cao Fugui, set up dozens of tables of banquets in the field, and led Li Qiuyue to toast everywhere.

The women in the field looked at Li Qiuyue with disgust, and the men looked at Li Qiuyue with playfulness.

In the evening, all the guests were sent away, Cao Fugui drank a lot of wine, and he was also a little drunk, and Cao Fugui's two children didn't show up all day, and they didn't know where they went.

At night, Cao Fugui hurriedly pulled Li Qiuyue back to the room.

Li Qiuyue saw that Cao Fugui was impatient to take off his clothes, and a touch of disgust flashed in his eyes, but she still said softly, "Fugui, I'm a little nervous, you can drink some wine with me." ”

Cao Fugui couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Qiuyue say that he was nervous, and then nodded, "Okay." ”

Li Qiuyue took out the prepared wine, poured it for Cao Fugui, and poured herself a glass.

Li Qiuyue raised her wine glass, touched it with Cao Fugui, and said coquettishly, "I wish us a good time for a hundred years." ”

When Cao Fugui heard this, he was happy, nodded again and again, and drank a glass of wine in one go, but Li Qiuyue only tasted it.

Seeing that Cao Fugui had drunk all the wine, Li Qiuyue poured another glass for Cao Fugui and raised the wine glass again, "I wish us to grow old together." ”

Cao Fugui didn't say a word, raised his wine glass and raised his head, and drank a glass of wine.

He had already drunk a lot, but now he drank two more glasses, and his head was a little dizzy, but Li Qiuyue poured another cup for Cao Fugui...

Cao Fugui drank 6 or 7 cups in a row, and finally couldn't help it, lying on the table and falling asleep.

Li Qiuyue looked at Cao Fugui who was asleep, snorted coldly, and then laboriously helped Cao Fugui to the bed and untied the clothes of the two......

Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Fugui opened his eyes, felt a splitting headache, and felt that there was someone beside him......

In Cao Fugui's mind, he had no impression of yesterday's events at all, but the two of them had already slept in a bed, and everything that should have happened happened......

Especially after Li Qiuyue got up, Chang Fugui looked at the blood-stained sheets and smirked.

Li Qiuyue looked at the smirking Cao Fugui and said coquettishly, "I'll cook for you." ”

Cao Fugui said distressedly, "I'll go." ”

After Cao Fugui finished speaking, he went into the kitchen, boiled a pot of thick millet porridge, heated a few white flour steamed buns, and heated up the remaining dishes from yesterday's banquet.

After eating, Cao Fugui said to Li Qiuyue, "The factory is busy during this time, I have to go to work today, if you don't want to do it at home at noon, go to the canteen to eat." ”

Cao Fugui said, took out a few yuan from his pocket, as well as a few catties of food stamps, and handed them to Li Qiuyue.

Li Qiuyue nodded obediently, and left as she watched the wealth and nobility.

After Cao Fugui left, only Li Qiuyue was left in the house.

Li Qiuyue stayed at home and was bored, so she thought of meeting Susie in the village yesterday when she got married.

As long as Li Qiuyue thinks of Suzie's smiling face, she can't wait to ruin her, especially since Susie is also accompanied by Xiao Zhan, who is handsome and has a prominent family background, which makes Li Qiuyue even more unbalanced.

Suddenly, Li Qiuyue remembered that although Susie's father was dead, Susie's mother was still there.

Susie's mother-in-law is called Yang Liu, and when Susie was a child, she drew a line with the Su family and married someone else.

Li Qiuyue remembered that Yang Liu seemed to have married into a family in the town.

The family's surname is Xu, and the man Yang Liu married is called Xu Dachang, who seems to be a worker in a textile factory.

Although Yang Liu was married for the second time, she couldn't stand Yang Liu's beauty, and there were still many people who were willing to marry her, thinking of this, Li Qiuyue had a malicious smile on her face.

Li Qiuyue went out and met an old lady squatting at the door washing clothes downstairs.

The old lady was about 60 years old, her hair was half white, her body was thin, and she noticed that there was someone behind her, and the old lady looked back and saw Li Qiuyue.

The old lady's eyes looked at Li Qiuyue with some meaning, she remembered that this young woman was Cao Fugui's new daughter-in-law.

The old lady didn't have a good impression of Li Qiuyue, after all, what girl from a good family was willing to marry a man about the same age as her father?

The old lady only glanced at Li Qiuyue, and continued to lower her head to wash her clothes.

Li Qiuyue saw that there was no one in the courtyard, only the old lady, after all, it was time to go to work, the workers had gone to work, the children had gone to school, and the old man was still at home.

Li Qiuyue leaned over with a smile, squatted beside the old lady, and greeted the old lady, "Auntie, are you doing laundry?" ”

The old lady hummed in a low voice, obviously reluctant to deal with Li Qiuyue.

Li Qiuyue was annoyed in her heart, but in order to achieve her goal, she still asked with a smile, "Auntie, do you know a woman named Yang Liu?" ”

When the old lady heard this, her hand paused, frowned and looked up at Li Qiuyue, "Who are you?" Having something to do with her? ”

This old lady used to be a worker in the factory, but when she got older, she retired and let her son take her place.
