Li Jiagou.

Tang Xiaoyu sat in the side room on the east side, his waist-length long hair was properly tied behind him, his upper body was wearing a red plaid cotton shirt, the buttons on his chest were almost unable to hold the two delicate meats, his lower body was wearing red polyester pants, his full and strong stomach was twisting on the stool, he couldn't sit steadily, his hands were covered with his lower abdomen in front of him, and his hands were slightly rough when he was used to farm work.

Tang Xiaoyu's ears sounded the man's cruel words again: "What I can't get, I can't ask others to pick it up for nothing......", fiddling to a critical juncture, she begged him to take her away, the man didn't say a word and only sped up his movements, and between the two of them getting dressed, the man turned his back to her and said, "Go back, I'll go to watch the ceremony tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he left the grass hut without looking back.

When was this new dress so dazzlingly red? It was about the first time the man kissed her in the grass hut in the middle of the mountain, and he said that he only liked her, every pore. When she returned, she took the money she had saved for more than two years to sell herbs, and went to the market town twenty miles away to tear the cloth, and spent more than a month, and when she finished her farm work in the evening, she made it with stitches and threads, which she was supposed to wear on the day she entered his door.

It was early summer, the sky was just bright, the people of the suona class started early under the urging of the main family, a song of birds stabbing at the phoenix stabbed all over the corners of Lijiagou, three or four days later is the season of wheat harvest, the villagers of Lijiagou took advantage of this gap to be fine, and gathered early at the door of Tang Fugui.

Today is the wedding day of Tang Xiaoyu, the eldest daughter of Tang Fugui, who is known as the iron rooster.

Son-in-law.

Tang Fugui's house sits in the south and faces north, the hall house has three tiled houses, three east side houses, a shed is built on the west side, and a stove is set up on the side of the hall house.

Further into the courtyard, the close relatives of the family who stood to help, the women were talking and laughing, some were picking vegetables, some were washing dishes, the men were helping to move tables and stools, and some were smoking cigarettes and chatting, crowded and busy in a very orderly manner.

Tang Xiaoyu is eighteen years old this year, and there are two younger sisters Tang Xiaocao and Tang Xiaoye and a younger brother Tang Dajian. The man recruited is from Zhangji Village next door, named Zhang Gazi, the third in line, five brothers in the family, the old Zhang Tou to the eldest and the second daughter-in-law has been surrounded by four walls, forced to have no choice but to let Zhang Gazi into the rich, to put it bluntly, it is just a strong man from a poor family to other people's houses as a livestock envoy, and the daughter-in-law can still have food to eat, which is very good.

Tang Fugui's family background is not as good as his name, just an ordinary farmer, relying on more than a dozen acres of fields all year round to plan, as long as the man who comes in wealth is in good health and has the strength to carry the work.

The first time to organize a wedding, Tang Fugui was a little nervous, pacing back and forth in the yard, the local red and white ceremonies, the main family will invite a trustworthy man with planning ability to operate and plan on his behalf, commonly known as "big branch", today Tang Fugui invited the big branch is his cousin, Tang Xiaoyu's third uncle Tang Fuqiang.

At this moment, Tang Fuqiang stood at the door of the hall and shouted at the old Tang Tou in the courtyard: "Fugui, don't go around, the cook is almost ready, beckon the big guy to have breakfast first." ”

"Alas, alas, all right!" Tang Fugui hurriedly and enthusiastically urged the close relatives of the family to come to the table, and asked the chef to have an early banquet.

In the East Wing.

"Xiaoyu, hurry up, your father said hurry up and eat something, I'm going to be on the road in a while." Shen Xia pushed open the door and urged her daughter.

Tang Xiaoyu's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked at the figure of his grandmother stepping in in a daze, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "Grandma, do you have to recruit a man into the house?" ”

Shen Xia has listened to Tang Fugui for most of her life, and after a short pause, she followed the truth that Tang Fugui told her: "Xiaoyu, when did you still ask this?" Your Abba said, our family lives on farming, and there are three younger brothers under you, all of whom are still young, and your Abba and I are old, and the farm work is a little inadequate, so we must recruit a powerful man to come in and help, and say that you can still live in front of Abba and Grandma in the future, what's wrong? ”

Seeing Tang Xiaoyu bowing his head and not speaking, his hands were twisted together, his shoulders trembled slightly, Shen Xia was also distressed, and sighed: "Xiaoyu, Grandma knows that you can't let go of Li Yaohui in your heart, but Li Quanyou can't let his baby son enter our family, even if I and your Abba have all your hearts and let you marry, he Li Quanyou will not agree, he has already spread the news through people, and he looks down on people like us who can only dig in the soil, although we are poor, but we have the backbone of being poor, your Abba can't afford to lose that face, You just forget about that person. ”

Tang Xiaoyu didn't understand these truths, but they were just fish out of the water in the mud, struggling to die, wiping a few handfuls of tears, Tang Xiaoyu obediently said: "Grandma, you go to fetch a basin of water for me to wash my face, and tell Abba, I must go to pick up my relatives on time." ”

Holding her daughter's hand, Shen Xia choked up and said, "Okay, good boy...... I've wronged you. ”

So he stood up, went out to fetch water, brought food again, and accompanied Tang Xiaoyu to eat. When she cleaned up and pushed the door open and sat on the back seat of the bicycle where her cousin sent her to pick up her relatives, Tang Xiaoyu no longer had any traces of crying on her face, and her ears were full of the coaxing of the villagers who were blocking the door.

Tang Xiaoyu raised his head, smiling, and his dark and bright eyes pretended to search the crowd inadvertently, but he didn't see that person, didn't he say that he would come to watch the ceremony?

Tang Xiaoyu's psychology at this time was conflicted, hoping that the man would appear, but she didn't dare to think that the man really appeared here, what would she do.

In the end, she came to the conclusion dejectedly that even if Li Yaohui appeared, she would not do anything, Abba and Aunt loved her, raised her, and grew old, her younger sister and brother needed her, and she, as the eldest sister, should carry this family.

At this moment, Dazhi Tang Fuqiang shouted angrily: "The bride sets off and picks up the groom!" At the same time, the sound of suona followed the high-pitched, and Tang Xiaoyu finally remembered the sound of firecrackers, and the group had to go to Zhangji Village next door.

As the saying goes, half of the eldest son eats Lao Tzu to death, Zhang Laohan's wife left early, five sons, all of them are tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, relying on the few acres of land at home, plus Zhang Laohan walks the streets and alleys to sharpen scissors and sharpen knives for a small livelihood, the rations earned will be enough for the whole family, the eldest and the second ask for a daughter-in-law to build a house and owe a butt of foreign debts, it is the turn of the third Zhang Gazi, and it is the age of marrying, Zhang Laohan, who is at a loss for this matter, met the matchmaker who said kiss for Tang Fugui's eldest girl in time, and hit it off.

That night, Zhang Laohan smoked a dry cigarette and talked to Gazi about this family affair with a sad face, and Gazi agreed without thinking about it.

Before the marriage, the matchmaker took the two young people to meet in the market town, except for the village, Zhang Gazi had never seen other women, he felt that the women he had seen were not as good-looking as Tang Xiaoyu, and he blushed at the moment and didn't dare to take another look, and awkwardly clubbed to the side, and Tang Xiaoyu was rushed by her father with the soles of his shoes, full of grievances, all he thought about was Li Yaohui's enemy, and he didn't have the heart to see what Zhang Gazi looked like, but the two didn't say a word, let alone understand.

The distance between the two villages is only twenty miles, and the team to pick up the relatives soon arrived at Zhang Laohan's home, watching the marriage is a rare time for the countrymen who face the loess all day long, not to mention the recruitment of sons-in-law, the bride has shown this time, and I don't know when the next time is, the rules here, women marry men, there is no such thing as returning to the door, unless Zhang Laohan kicked his legs away or Zhang Gazi's brother had a major wedding and funeral event, otherwise the woman would easily no longer enter the man's door.

In the crowded crowd, there were high and low voices from time to time.

"The bride is so tender! I heard that he is only eighteen, the age of a flower. ”

"No, look at that little waist, and look at that gang, if I ......," a man said in a rough voice.

The woman on the side interrupted: "Bah, you shameless, it's not enough to sleep with your mother every day, you are fat, go back with me!" As he spoke, he twisted the man's ears and walked out, causing everyone to laugh.

Another older aunt said openly: "Gazi, you kid is really blessed, if you marry, you will rely on the old Zhang Tou's family, where can you get such a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Hey, Gazi, you can take it easy at night, don't flash your waist~" The villagers gathered at the door of Zhang Laohan's house laughed unscrupulously.

Tang Xiaoyu lowered his head, like a piece of pork in the market, allowing his character to be reviewed.

Then led by the person who led the relatives, entered the hall, Tang Xiaoyu hurriedly handed Gazi a red envelope according to the rules, and then put on a pair of red socks for the groom, Tang Xiaoyu didn't know how she completed this action, her mind was blank, and when she was dressed, she stood up and followed Gazi out of the courtyard door, watched Zhang Gazi take the bicycle from her cousin, and suddenly turned around and whispered with a sideways face: "Don't pay attention to them, get in the car." ”

Tang Xiaoyu came back to her senses, she couldn't help but look at him, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, she only reached his shoulders, wearing a white shirt and black pants made of good fabric, the clothes looked a little small, they didn't fit well, it shouldn't be his own clothes, Tang Xiaoyu guessed in his heart.

As soon as he stood on tiptoe, he sat on the back seat with his stomach on his side, and accidentally shook it, "Be careful! A pair of big hands were firmly fixed on her waist, and the rough feeling from the thick calluses made Tang Xiaoyu can't help but get goosebumps.

"Thank you~", the low and inaudible voice tickled the tip of Zhang Gazi's heart like chicken feathers, itching tightly.

"It's okay, let's go~"

On the way back, Zhang Gazi rode a bicycle hard, a beautiful woman, a festive horn, so that the initial decision to enter the embarrassment, suffocation swept away, through the golden wheat field, the harvest of wheat waves, Zhang Gazi is full of desire for the future as a son-in-law's new life, the little hands inadvertently touched, the warm touch of the instep, made him inexplicably excited, the heat of early summer almost burned him.

Tang Xiaoyu on the back seat tightly held the metal spring under the holster of the bicycle seat with both hands, so as not to fall down in the bumps, his eyes were fixed on the man's broad back, and Li Yaohui's appearance appeared in his head, with wide forehead and phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and fair skin, he was one of the most beautiful men in the village, and there was a dimple on the left corner of his mouth when he laughed.

Last night, she provoked him: "At this time tomorrow, I will give it to others with my grin." ”

The man laughed hatefully when he heard this: "You dare! ”

Tang Xiaoyu was angry: "Why don't I dare, I became someone else's wife, it's not natural to do that!" ”

"We'll see!" As he spoke, he knelt down before her and strained himself.

Tang Xiaoyu almost bit off the root of her tongue, and the slightly salty sweat fell into her eyes, which hurt spicy.
