"Mom, I think that's all I have to do." She tugged Li Lihui's hand and found a step for her, "If we don't repair the car, we have no other way, so it's hard to really push it back, right?" ”

Li Lihui is a donkey, and she naturally didn't make a fuss when she coaxed the steps, but her face was still not good, and her face was pulled when she entered the door.

The Xu family's house is not small, there are about five or six rooms, and the small courtyard is quite open, but it is very dilapidated, lacking bricks and tiles, and it should not have been repaired for many years.

At this time, the yard is particularly lively, under the wall of the West House, the eldest Xu Shaohua is chopping wood, and the third Xu Shaoyuan is sitting on a small bench under the grape trellis on the right side of the door to write homework, I don't know if there is a grudge against the books, the writing sound is particularly loud, and the brush brushes seem to be about to poke the books.

Xu's mother, Li Guifang, was stir-frying in the kitchen of the West House, while Zhang Xiaoyue was huffing and guarding under the east wall.

The little boy who was coaxing on the wall just now climbed the east wall and jumped in at this time, and before he could stand firmly, Zhang Xiaoyue grabbed his ear. She carried her son like a chicken cub, pointed at his head and scolded: "You fool with no heart! Who told you to follow the mix! Is it nice to scold you for not being educated? Yes! ”

The child howled while sighing: "It's not the glass I swore, whoever scolds who!" Besides, don't you don't want them to come to our house, and you say that if they dare to enter the door, you will blow them away, and I am here to help...... Oops, hey, it hurts, you let go, Mom! ”

"Are you lacking in heart! Isn't it a lack of heart! Zhang Xiaoyue was almost stupid to cry by her son, she slapped her son on the head, "Do you know what it means to shoot a gun, you didn't do it for others and show your face and be scolded, why did I give birth to such a stupid thing like you!" ”

The child was crying, Xu Shaohua couldn't listen to it, and persuaded him: "If you have something to say, what do you do when you beat the child, let people see the joke!" ”

Zhang Xiaoyue's spearhead suddenly pointed at Xu Shaohua, "Do you still know that people look at our jokes, if you are a little promising, our mother and daughter will not have such a bad life!" ”

Quarrels between the eldest family are commonplace, and no one mixes. Xu Shaoting pushed the cart into the door, and shouted at Zhang Xiaoyue's voice: "Mom, Aunt Li and Qinglan are here." ”

After speaking, he passed by a few distances, kicked the leg of the bench, and said, "Go outside and sweep the glass ballast." ”

In the past, when Xu Shaoting entered the door, Xu Shaoyuan would definitely call out the second brother first, but today he didn't raise his head, silently expressing his dissatisfaction with his future sister-in-law.

Xu Shaoyuan knew that he couldn't hide his second brother from his little careful thinking about the glass, but he was not annoyed, he just wanted to convey his dissatisfaction with the woman, and it was best for the woman to know her own interests and take the initiative to give up marriage.

"I do my homework." Xu Shaoyuan held the pencil and pretended to concentrate on his homework, but in fact, he didn't write a fart.

Xu Shaoting didn't say it a second time, should he let the third child watch it himself.

The silent majesty is even more deterrent, Xu Shaoyuan was usually afraid of his second brother, but at this time, his heart was even more empty, and he couldn't wait to run out immediately to sweep the ground clean. But he doesn't want to compromise, he doesn't want his second brother to sacrifice for this family again, how can a good man go into trouble, can he still raise his head in this life?

Shen Qinglan and Li Lihui walked into the courtyard, and Xu's mother, Li Guifang, came out of the kitchen.

She took a frying spoon and hurriedly greeted Shen Qinglan's mother and daughter, "Qinglan is here, and the eldest sister of the in-laws is also here, come into the house and sit down, I will have two more dishes, Shaoting, you will entertain you first, make a pot of hot tea, it is cold, it should be frozen on the road." ”

Li Guifang is a typical image of a rural woman, dark and rough, not well-dressed, looks very simple, and is also enthusiastic about Shen Qinglan's mother and daughter.

But Shen Qinglan could see that she was not so reluctant to this marriage, and the Xu family was not satisfied with this marriage except for Xu Shaoting himself.

Li Lihui also felt the snubbing of the family, and the fire that had just been suppressed came up again, pulled Shen Qinglan's sleeve, and motioned her to go.

Shen Qinglan patted Li Lihui's hand to appease, then walked to the kitchen with two bags of food and said, "Aunt Xu, don't be busy, I bought a roast chicken and a little braised vegetables on the way, it's enough to eat." ”

These words successfully silenced the noisy courtyard, and a large family, including Xu Shaoyuan, who lowered his head and pretended to do his homework, all looked at the bag in Shen Qinglan's hand.

Shen Qinglan didn't treat herself as an outsider, she went into the kitchen and carried a small table out, and first took out the food snacks in the bag one by one, what canned snacks, sugar gourd persimmons, packs and boxes, just like buying New Year's goods.

After picking them all out, she moved a few bricks, built a temporary small grill, lit a fire underneath, and then roasted the cold grilled chicken skewers on the stick shelf.

"Second, second aunt......" Zhang Xiaoyue's son couldn't help it first, swallowed his saliva violently, "I, I want to eat ......"

"Come and eat." Shen Qinglan happily accepted the title of "second aunt", and raised her hand to greet the greedy child, "The roast chicken will wait for a while, let's eat some snacks first, and take whatever you want." ”

Xu Youcai is only six years old, which is the age of greed, where do you know what politeness is, you have to go over to eat.

But his mother felt embarrassed, and grabbed the back collar of her "defective to the enemy" son and pulled it back, "What are you calling!" Can you make a difference! ”

Xu Youcai's saliva was about to flow to the soles of his feet, where could he still bear it, he resisted: "You are the most promising!" I've been staring at canned yellow peaches for a long time, and I'm still swallowing saliva! ”

Zhang Xiaoyue couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

It is very difficult to have such a thing as income in the face of poverty.

The Xu family is really poor, Xu's father left early and left a lot of debts, Li Guifang, a widow, has to pull her three sons, and it is difficult to repay the debts, and it is still difficult to maintain food and clothing, not to mention delicious food.

The three sons can only be counted on by the second child, the eldest Xu Shaohua has broken his brain when he was a child, and he is not very bright, so he can only contribute in the field. The third child was only in junior high school, and because Xu Shaoting insisted on letting him study, he couldn't help his family.

Xu Shaoting went to school to work before he finished junior high school, and worked as a small worker to earn some coolie money to supplement the family.

Li Guifang felt that it was not a way for the family to go on like this, especially not to always drag down the second child, so she had the idea of letting Xu Shaoting find a city girl to join her.

Although the reputation of the family is not very good at the moment, the benefits are visible, first of all, it solves the problem of the second child getting married and has no money, and then the second child can get a hukou in the city, and the grandson will also be a baby in the city in the future, which is much stronger than in the countryside.
