Chapter 019: Let It Be
Liu Xinyu didn't expect that the result still failed as she wanted, and after asking the women of the Zhang and Liu families to fight twice, her marriage contract with Zhang Hongliang not only failed to dissolve, but directly set the time for the engagement banquet.
She stood there and her whole body was numb, and no one asked her opinion?
After getting the affirmative answer from the Zhang family, Chen Zhaodi was naturally happy, and hurriedly gave Liu Houxing a look.
Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang's marriage contract did not change again, Liu Houxing felt that his old arms were open, and after getting the hint of his wife, he hurriedly let Zhang Daniu and Zhang Hongliang into Liu Xinyu's courtyard.
Since the Zhang family has set the time for the engagement banquet, the two families have to discuss the details again.
Liu Xinyu was led by Chen Zhaodi into her own courtyard, and she has not been able to wake up from the development of her posture until now.
There were many things she couldn't figure out.
She could feel that Zhang Hongliang was just as resistant to this marriage contract as herself, but after she shouted out her heart to quit her family, Zhang Hongliang made the opposite decision.
The girl in the city named Ma Li should like Zhang Hongliang very much, and even threaten Zhang Hongliang's job and future, there must be some power in the family, not to mention Wu Qiaozhen, who wants Zhang Hongliang to marry a city girl, even Zhang Daniu hesitated.
However, Zhang Hongliang insisted on the marriage contract with Liu Xinyu, and in the end, it became the way it is now, and the two families have been discussing the engagement banquet.
What went wrong?
Could it be that after Zhang Hongliang met Liu Xinyu, he opened up the second pulse of Ren and Governor, and suddenly opened up?
Liu Xinyu thinks it's impossible!
Before Ma Li appeared, Zhang Hongliang didn't seem to have any intention of accepting this marriage contract.
That's right, Zhang Hongliang's attitude changed after Ma Li appeared. It can be seen that the problem should be with Ma Li.
Judging from Ma Li's dress, the family conditions should be good, and the personal conditions are also good, no matter how much she looks or ages, she is more suitable than Liu Xinyu, and she is also a good match when she stands with Zhang Hongliang.
Liu Xinyu knew that Wu Qiaozhen had always hoped that Zhang Hongliang would find her a girl in the city.
Before Liu Qingshan had an accident, Liu Xinyu listened to Zhang Hongyun's nagging, and even heard Wu Qiaozhen talk about it with others.
It stands to reason that Zhang Hongliang should gladly accept being pursued by such a city girl.
What is the reason for Zhang Hongliang to reject such a girl who has a deep affection for him.
Liu Xinyu scratched her head in thought, but finally gave up.
Since the marriage contract cannot be dissolved temporarily, it can only go with the flow, and it is just an engagement after all.
Instead of thinking about what you have and don't have, you should think more about the weird pictures that come up in your head.
Liu Xinyu no longer entangled the marriage contract, and the whole person relaxed.
It's just that there are a lot of people in the family at this time, and it's not time to calm down and think about something, so I just followed Wang Sanmei to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Liu Qingshan is a very capable and diligent person, when he was young, he learned some kung fu with people, and often took a machete, bow and arrow into the mountains to hunt when he was slack, and he could always bring some prey back every time, so the life of the family was quite good, and he could eat a meal of meat every three or five days, although Liu Qingshan had passed away for a few months, and there was still a piece of bacon from last year hanging on the beam of the kitchen.
However, without Liu Qingshan, there would be no income, and the family would not have much food, and it was basically dried sweet potatoes and corn flour, and of course, a small amount of fine noodles and rice.
In the past, the coarse grains at home were basically eaten by Liu Qingshan, and the fine noodles and rice were specially prepared for Liu Xinyu.
This situation of the Liu family's father and daughter is not only known to the Liu family, but also is not a secret in the village.
"Second aunt, add more rice, I ate heartburn with too many dried sweet potatoes." Seeing that Wang Sanmei grabbed two handfuls of rice and washed them with dried sweet potatoes, Liu Xinyu couldn't help but shake her head, and put a few handfuls of rice in the rice basket while Wang Sanmei was not paying attention.
"Oh, you girl!" Wang Sanmei looked at the rice that had been watered, and then looked at the millet jar that did not have much rice, shook her head and sighed.
Although this is the first sweet potato rice that Liu Xinyu ate in this era, the sweet potato rice in his memory is really not delicious and heartburn.
Although the extra handfuls of rice didn't play much of a role, it made Liu Xinyu feel better.
"Second aunt, Sister Xinju really doesn't go to study?" With his memory, Liu Xinyu still knew how to make a fire for the big stove, and asked while adding fire.
"Well, no." Wang Sanmei wanted to say a few more words, but thinking that Liu Xinyu was a lover of reading, she finally held back the words that came to her mouth.
A girl in the countryside, it's good for her to study for a few years at home, how can she study until she graduates from high school like Liu Xinyu.
"Sister Xinju is only eleven years old, what can I do when I come back, it's better to study for another year, so I can finish elementary school." Liu Xinyu thought about it and persuaded.
"Eleven years old is not young, although I can't do the work in the field, I can take the fourth child to wash and wash clothes at home, and I can free up my hands to compete for work. Besides, what if she is allowed to study for an extra year, in the end she is not someone else's family. Wang Sanmei put some oil in the pot as she spoke, felt that the oil was a little too much, and shoveled it back with a shovel, which made Liu Xinyu want to shake her head.
It's just a little meat oil on the thumb and a finger, Wang Sanmei is actually too much, can such a dish be delicious?
There is really no oil or water at all!
Liu Xinyu opened her mouth, but finally didn't speak, but didn't see it.
Today, I have cut a few slices of bacon and steamed it in the rice, and it can be regarded as meaty, and I will definitely nag again if I let Wang Sanmei put more oil.
Liu Xinju didn't want to give up on the issue of Liu Xinju's study, but still wanted to fight for Liu Xinju again.
In her impression, Liu Xinju's academic performance is good, and she loves to read.
It's a pity that most people in this era are patriarchal, and they haven't started nine-year compulsory education yet, so Liu Xinyu failed to convince Wang Sanmei.
Girls in the countryside are really pitiful, there are not many girls like Liu Xinju who have been studying for several years, and girls like Liu Xinyu who can study until they graduate from high school are even rarer.
There are seven or eight girls in Liu Xinyu's class, but only one of them has a rural hukou, and the others are all urban hukou where their parents have jobs.
Liu Xinyu comes from the future, and of course knows that the country will resume the college entrance examination in a few months.
failed to convince Wang Sanmei, Liu Xinyu felt very regretful, but she couldn't force it, so she could only sigh secretly.
Forget it, let it be!
The second uncle's family has a total of four children, and the eldest Liu Xinjian is two years younger than Liu Xinyu, 14 years old this year.
Eleven-year-old Liu Xinju is the second, the third Liu Xinyao is seven years old, and the fourth Liu Xincheng is only three years old.
There are many children, of course, the burden is heavy, in this era when you can only fight for work and share your life, even with the help of Liu Houxing and Chen Zhaodi, it is indeed difficult to keep the family well fed and clothed.
It is understandable that Wang Sanmei wants to free up her hands to fight for work, but it's a pity for Liu Xinju.
