Chapter VIII Requirements for Mate Selection

The countryside in summer is also cool, now most people still live in the earthen embryo house, the wall built with loess is very thick, the summer sun shines on the wall, the heat is blocked a lot, and the ground in the room is cool and silky.

When my grandmother built the house, she took into account the problem of her father's marriage in the future, and built the best house for her father, even the floor in the house was paved with cement, not rough, it didn't look like a cement floor, some of it looked like black tiles, very smooth.

Xie Yusi stayed in the room and waited for his grandmother after washing, originally he lived in his grandmother's house, but the house was inconvenient, very dim, and the ground was still a little uneven, grandma was afraid that Xiaosi would wrestle, and her son and daughter-in-law were not at home, so grandma took Xie Yusi to this room and left the one inside to live alone with grandpa.

Grandma Xie is a very clean person, in fact, many people in the countryside do not pay attention to these, it is originally a mud house, and you have to do so much farm work every day, and you have to put the port, basket, back basket and other things at home, and if you are not careful, you will bring a pile of ash in, so everyone just sweeps the floor casually.

But Grandma Xie is different, the things in this room have to be wiped once every two days, the teacups and kettles are neatly cleaned up, and the concrete floor is also dragged to reflect the light.

Xie Yusi did it barefoot on the edge of the bed, and his shaking feet rubbed the ground from time to time, cool and silky, very comfortable, this is not the time when he grew up when he felt hot with air conditioning, and now the fans at home are not used, only after the adults come back from working in the field, Xie Yusi remembers that he used to sleep until the second half of the night, and his grandmother had to cover him with a quilt for fear that he would catch a cold.

Grandma Xie finally finished her work, and when she came in, she saw Xie Yusi barefoot, wiped the water on her hands casually and scooped it up for him, and muttered: "If you are not in good health, you dare to hit barefoot?" What should I do if I get sick? Grandma has to work in the fields during the day, but she can't take care of you. ”

The scene at this moment is so familiar, when Xie Yusi was a child, he was taken care of by his grandmother, and his mother didn't care about Xie Yusi at all when he saw that his grandmother was happy, when he was three years old, his father was arrested, and his mother left, until Xie Yusi was eight years old, his grandmother was paralyzed, and his grandmother took care of him during this period, and he was very familiar with these actions of his grandmother, and he also missed them very much.

When he grew up, Xie Yusi's living conditions were not bad, his treatment in the company was good, and there were many people who showed him love, but when he got along with others, he always felt that something was missing, which made him feel at ease.

Maybe it's because of his childhood experience, Xie Yusi is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and he also longs for those feelings, and longs to feel that kind of warmth when he gets along, but he hasn't found it, and slowly he ignores these things, in his previous life, he lived until he was in his twenties, but he was still a single dog.

His colleagues think it's incredible, in their eyes Xie Yusi looks handsome, has a good salary, and is a good person, although he has no father or mother, but in the eyes of many girls, it is better, so as not to have to deal with the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but this is the case, and it can't change the fact that Xie Yusi is a single dog.

Colleagues couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to him, after all, he heard that the corgi had a partner on the day he heard the new manager, and he was a handsome Erha.

There were always a few enthusiastic colleagues in the office, and after listening to Xie Yusi's situation, they felt that their mission was coming, so they hurriedly introduced Xie Yusi to the object and asked him what kind of conditions he wanted.

Xie Yusi seemed to answer like this at the time, he said: "I prefer sweeter looks, gentle personality, know how to run a house, and it's okay to have a little temper." ”

The above is a standard straight man's answer, and everyone thinks there is no problem, but what is Xie Yusi talking about later? can sew clothes for him, can take care of children, these can also be understood, some people still think that Xie Yusi is a visionary, this love is directly towards marriage, but what can make him feel the warmth of being taken care of by his grandmother.

How warm does he want to be, the warmth of being held and singing nursery rhymes at night?

It happened that their manager heard this, and the manager's face was a little strange at that time, and he opened his mouth to ask: "Is he looking for a sweet nanny?" ”

After these words came out, the people in the office laughed at him for several days, and Xie Yusi was complaining about the manager while despairing about his emotional path.

But isn't the manager also a single dog? Why do you want to laugh at him, hey!

Thinking of the past, Xie Yusi had a little smile on his face, damn now that he is back to the age of five, he doesn't believe that he has been looking for the object in his mind since he was a child, and he can't get off the list before the age of twenty.

Grandma Xie made the bed for Xie Yusi, and saw him smirking, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, this child used to laugh, but then something happened at home, and the people in the village had opinions about the Xie family, and Grandma Xie was afraid that Xie Yusi would be raised with a dull temperament since he was a child.

Fortunately, Junfeng of the village chief's house opposite is a good child, and he takes her family Sisi with her in everything, so that the child will always stay at home when she goes to work.

Rural people have no entertainment at night, at least at this time, at most they are outside to enjoy the shade and chat about family life, but most people are tired during the day, and they have to work the next day, and if they don't rest early at night, they will be bored working during the day, so they will close their doors very early.

Of course, people with good family conditions may not be like this, like the village chief's house is not, anyway, they don't want to be tired and tired like everyone else during the day, and watch TV when they are bored at night, the Xie family also has a TV, but it is the kind that is very bulky, or black and white, there are only seven stations in total, and four of them have no signal, nothing to see.

The village chief's house is a color TV, at this time it can be said that the family is a symbol of good conditions, whose children get married, dowry or bride price in the color TV is a very face-saving thing, the Xie family is not affordable, when the father got married, the largest piece was a sewing machine, originally to be placed by the mother's mother's family, but they asked the Xie family to give money to buy, although the grandmother was angry but there was no way, the father was twenty years old, and the marriage was late at that time.

But my mother's family swallowed the money after my grandmother gave her money, and in the end, my grandparents were afraid of losing the face of the Xie family, so they bought it with the money they had saved from everywhere.

In fact, from this time grandma can see that this kinship is not good, at that time, no matter how poor the family, when marrying a daughter, will not deduct the bride price sent by the in-law's family, grandma said that when she married three aunts, the bride price money was all for the daughter to bring back to the in-law's house, or bought her some face-saving dowry, and confiscated the money, but pasted some.

Grandma said that her daughter was raised by herself, so she only accepted a few catties of meat from her in-laws, and overcharged others, and her daughter would make people gossip when she went to her in-laws' house.

Facts have proved that the Xie family did not get married, which is the thing that the Xie family regrets the most.

Grandma Xie did a lot of work during the day, and there were still a lot of things waiting for her tomorrow, and she had to get up at five o'clock to feed the pigs, and then wash clothes, cook and busy with farm work, so she was very tired, and she fell asleep after a while, making a slight snoring sound.

Xie Yusi remembered that he was ignorant when he was a child, and he didn't want to sleep and asked his grandmother to tell him stories, grandma had a lot of stories, what kind of spirits on the mountain, the ghosts of people who died nearby decades ago, or the stories of her childhood, Xie Yusi listened with her ears pricked up while trembling, and grandma's storytelling method was also very interesting.

Grandma would always talk about falling asleep, and at that time Xie Yusi would wake up grandma and want to listen to the following content, or if she couldn't sleep after listening to the story, she would wake up her grandma when she heard her snoring and tell her that she was snoring.

Now that I think about it, Xie Yusi feels that she is really ignorant, grandma is so tired, but she doesn't let people sleep well.

Grandma Xie also felt that Xie Yusi was so well-behaved today, and she didn't pester her to tell her stories, nor did she let her gently scratch his back, and grandma didn't think much about it, thinking that maybe he was injured and tired today, and children always slept quickly.

After a while, Xie Yusi heard grandma's snoring, which was a little heavy, and it seemed that he was very tired during the day today.

It's not a way to go on like this, don't look at Grandma Xie is in good health now, it's only been five years since she was paralyzed by a stroke, at this time, there are few people in the countryside who know high blood pressure, Xie Yusi remembers that not long after Grandma was sick, many people in the village were found to have very serious high blood pressure.

Grandma Xie's body has lost too much in the past few years when her father was arrested, so that such a healthy person will become ill in a blink of an eye.

If it is said that grandma is still as tired as in her previous life, maybe she will not be able to escape the end of serious illness in a few years, then what is the point of him living a new life?

To be honest, Xie Yusi is quite grateful to God for giving him this opportunity, maybe from now on he has to find a way to do something to change the fate of the people around him.

Grandma Xie's misfortune is caused by the poverty of the family, she has worked hard for this family all her life, and finally exhausted herself, and Grandma Xie is a person who likes to think about a lot of things, she has to worry about her father in prison, and she has to worry about what to do if Xie Yusi's mother does not come back, as well as the large number of accounts at home, the work in the field, the unhappy marriage of her daughter, etc., these are all things that Grandma Xie did not tell anyone in her heart.

It's because there are so many things in her heart and so much farm work every day, that my grandmother seems to have spent all her future vitality in the five years that my father was in prison.

My father's affairs are not in a hurry, maybe the first thing I have to do is to change the living conditions of the family, the debt has to be repaid, and I can't let my grandparents eat too badly, and I have to work hard to make money.

There are many things that he can use in this era in the future, no matter how he says, he also has an advantage, that is, he knows the development of the surrounding area over the years, maybe he can take advantage of it, and it can be regarded as planning for the future, after all, there are still a bunch of people and a bunch of things waiting for him, in this life, he can't lose too badly.

Isn't the leader of the city coming in a few days? Maybe he can take a good look at it, maybe there will be some chance here.
