If it had been normal and Xu Shiyan shouted outside, Xu Shiqin would have led his nephews and nieces to rush out.

But there was no movement at home today, Xu Shiyan felt strange and led his daughter-in-law to the yard.

Until the two of them walked outside the door of the house, and were about to reach out to open the door, the door was pushed open from the inside.

"Third brother, are you back?" It was Xu Shiqin, but he didn't seem to be very happy on his face.

"What's wrong? Something at home? Xu Shiyan was puzzled and couldn't help asking.

"Don't mention it, isn't the fourth brother engaged on the sixth day of junior high school? There are moths on the Wu family's side. ”

Xu Shiqin sighed and stretched out her hand to help Su Anying enter the door. "Third sister-in-law, be careful, stomp your feet, don't slip."

Brought a foot of snow from the outside, and everyone who entered the door stomped their feet, and the door was wet and slippery.

Xu Shiqin didn't worry about her sister-in-law, so she held on carefully.

"Out of the moth? What other moths can come out?

At the beginning, they were optimistic about your fourth brother, and they wanted to follow you, but now there are moths again? ”

Xu Shiyan was stunned, didn't remember that there was such a thing in his previous life?

Xu Shide, the fourth elder of the Xu family, taught in Qingling, and has been with Wu Qiuyan, the daughter of the Wu family in Qingling, for several years.

The brothers of the Xu family are all good-looking, Xu Shide is lively and has a good temperament, and he just went to Qingling to teach, and he was taken in by the Wu family.

The eldest daughter of the Wu family is called Wu Qiuyan, who is one year younger than Xu Shide and looks pretty good. His youngest son happened to be in Xu Shide's class.

The Wu family took a good look at Xu Shide, and no matter what they cooked at home, they let their youngest son drag Xu Shide to the house for dinner.

This time and again, Xu Shide and Wu Qiuyan looked at each other.

The Wu family had long wanted to settle the marriage, but the Xu family never nodded and agreed.

The main reason is that Xu Shiyan has never had a partner, the Xu family is still very particular about the rules, the elder brother is not married, and the younger brother cannot marry a daughter-in-law first.

Finally, in the spring of this year, someone mentioned Su Anying of the big battalion to Xu Shiyan, and the Xu family was in a hurry, and the two of them set a wedding date to get married without seeing each other a few times.

Xu Shiyan had just gotten engaged, and the Wu family urged them to get engaged too, for fear that the marriage would go wrong.

Most of them are not engaged too early, usually a month before the wedding, or at the beginning of the month of the engagement, and at the end of the month.

You must know that if you are engaged, you have to walk around as a relative, and you are not allowed to give some gifts during the New Year's holidays? As for the five sons of the Xu family, they can't come up with money.

Therefore, the Xu family has not been in a hurry, and only in the autumn did they find a matchmaker to go to the Wu family to talk about family affairs.

At that time, it was also said very well, and they got engaged on the sixth day of the lunar month and got married on the twenty-sixth.

It happened that the team had divided the money and food, and they had plenty of money, so they killed the pig to hold a banquet before the year, and they got married and celebrated the New Year.

Unexpectedly, the Xu family's marriage is ready, Xu Shide is on winter vacation and is preparing to come back to get engaged, and the Wu family has a moth.

"The Wu family said that if you want a bride price of 100 yuan, you have to ask for a radio, a bicycle, and a sewing machine, and you won't get engaged without these."

Xu Shiqin was very angry, these things together cost five or six hundred yuan.

The point is that bicycles also have radios and sewing machines, and they can't be bought without an industrial ticket.

The Xu family doesn't have a worker, where can I get an industrial ticket?

Besides, even if there is an industrial ticket, where will these hundreds of dollars come from?

In order for Xu Shide to get married, the family has made a full set of furniture and bedding, and also bought Wu Qiuyan two catties of wool, a watch, a pair of leather shoes, and two sets of clothes for a single cotton, aren't these all money?

When Xu Shiyan heard this, he was also surprised, the Wu family's appetite is big enough, he really dares to ask for it.

When I entered the east house, I saw Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan sitting on the south kang.

Xu Chenghou held a cigarette pouch and pot, smoking one cigarette after another, and Zhou Guilan's face was not very good.

Seeing Xu Shiyan and his wife enter the door, Xu Chenghou hurriedly knocked the cigarette bag and pot under the kang edge and stopped smoking.

"The three sons and the two are back? Quick, come and sit. Your mother has been chattering for the past few days, I don't know when you two will go down the mountain? ”

Xu Chenghou's attitude was unexpectedly gentle.

This winter, Xu Shiyan didn't bring less food to his home, whether he hit a wild boar, a black blind man or a roe deer, he let people bring half of it back.

It can be said that after the winter, the Xu family has not cut off their meat, and their life is much better than in previous years.

Who in the village doesn't envy the Xu family now? It is said that Xu Chenghou and his family raised a capable son, and the family followed him.

Xu Chenghou also felt that there was brilliance on his face, and his attitude towards this third son was naturally very different.

Xu Shiyan's attitude towards his father is straight to the soul in his heart, his father took the wrong medicine, right? I've never seen my dad so kind before.

It was Zhou Guilan who dragged her son, Xu Shiyan sat down, and Su Anying also sat on the edge of the kang.

"Dad, Mom, what did I just hear from the sixth child?" After Xu Shiyan sat down, he had to ask.

"Alas, don't mention it, the family has made the fourth child worry about the marriage." Zhou Guilan sighed and told Xu Shiyan about the matter.

"You said that this is the day of the engagement, and it is like this again.

A hundred yuan bride price, we can still get it with our hands tight, but where can we go to find the radio and bicycle?

Isn't that embarrassing? Zhou Guilan's eyes turned red as she spoke.

Outsiders look at the five sons of the Xu family, and their lives are prosperous, but in fact, who knows whose family is having a hard time.

Just the marriage of these five sons and daughters-in-law is enough for people to have a headache.

The first three are good to say, and they all went well.

Don't look at the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are both educated youths, but at the beginning, people didn't want this or that, they all got married in accordance with the rules of the village.

If the fourth child gets married, and it really does what the Wu family wants, what do the first three daughters-in-law think? Would you like to?

What about the daughter-in-law of the fifth child in the back? Waiting for the fifth child to get married, do you want more?

Zhou Guilan really felt embarrassed, and she was about to die.

"What are you worried about? Originally, I didn't take a fancy to the old Wu family.

How can their family do such things? Why can't a good girl get married? Drag the young man home all day long?

What the hell is this? Xu Cheng glared at Xu Shide, who was sitting on the north kang, a few times.

"You're pretty shrewd, and if you do stupid things, you'll have nowhere to eat, will you? Do you have to go to his house to eat?

Can't find a daughter-in-law? Do you have to find Lao Wu's family? Xu Chenghou was full of anger, and all of them were directed towards the fourth child.

Xu Shide is also very depressed, this is all a good thing, and he has changed his hexagram again temporarily, is his marriage married or not?

"People have long said that they want to get engaged and get engaged, but you two don't agree, and you can't afford to spend the little money for the holidays.

If you get engaged early, can you do this? Xu Shide lowered his head and muttered quietly.

"You bunny, tell me again? I'm going to kick you to death today. ”

Xu Chenghou's ears are not deaf, how can he not hear what his son says?

At that time, it was on fire, and he raised his hand to pick up the broom and pimple, and he was about to smoke his son.

Xu Shixian is in the East House, can he really let his father beat the fourth child? So he hurried up and stopped him.

"Dad, if you have something to say, don't do it."
