Three years later, in the summer of 1976.

Zhao Jinfang jumped down from the back seat of Baiyang's bicycle, saw that only Li Xiulan was cooking at home, and couldn't help pouting: "Mom really went to deliver Wu Ya, she has been married for three years, and she has a second child." ”

"If you continue to live like this, it's-"

Bai Liu went back to his house to put the bicycle first, happened to come in from the back door, and said casually: "It should be fine, I heard Aunt Zhou's laughter from the Zhou family, it's a big fat boy again." ”

"Pity the two girls in front of Zhou Xiangxi."

When she entered the door just now, she saw two thin girls who had just returned from collecting firewood from the mountains, they were Tuesday and Wednesday.

Three years ago, Zhou Xiangxi's daughter-in-law passed away in childbirth, and the child in the mother's womb was born as a stillbirth, with one corpse and two lives.

Zhou Xiangxi cried bitterly, and no one had anything to say for a while, and even sympathized with him for not having a wife.

But less than three months after the death of his deceased wife, Zhou Xiangxi actually married Wu Ya, who was a young man, and the two also advertised free love.

At that time, Aunt Zhou intended to let Huang Feng be the matchmaker, after all, Bai Liu and Song Jiaying were locals who married educated youth, and there was a precedent and had a relationship with both sides.

Huang Fenglai resolutely refused, she felt ashamed.

However, Wu Ya and Zhou Xiangxi didn't care, the two didn't need a matchmaker, they got married directly in the name of free love, which shocked everyone's jaws.

Aunt Zhou is lukewarm about this family business, and even because Wu Ya's work is not as good as Tian Yu, her status in the Zhou family is not high.

But more than eight months later, Wu Ya successfully gave birth to a baby boy and became Aunt Zhou's favorite daughter-in-law.

The intellectual youth is young and educated, and he can still give birth to a son for the old Zhou family, and the most important thing is that he didn't go to the hospital after giving birth!

As soon as this child was born, it not only broke the rumor that Zhou Xiangxi could not give birth to a son and a wife, but also earned back face for the old Zhou family.

The higher Wu Ya's status in the Zhou family, the lower the status of Tuesday Ya and Wednesday Ya.

The Zhou family has always been unabashedly patriarchal, and Aunt Zhou has done it even more obviously, Zhou Daya helped the family wash clothes at a young age, and she still boasted outside that the Zhou family was good to her daughter.

The reason is that the Zhou family sent the eldest girl to school, and trained her to do housework in order to be proficient in everything, so that she could earn money and run the family in the future.

In Bai Liu's view, this kind of behavior is tantamount to standing up and standing.

Blame disgusting people.

In the past, the second and third girls were slightly luckier than the eldest girls, they were still young, and their mothers would protect them after all. Even if the mother doesn't want to die in order to give birth to a son, she cares about the daughter who also comes out of the womb.

But now that the second and third girls have no mothers, their stepmothers can't look down on them and embarrass them everywhere, and life is even more difficult.

"Liu'er, our Bai family is different from other families, who in the girl's family didn't grow up like this?" Li Xiulan came out with a pot of Erhe noodles steamed buns, and said to Bai Liu that Erya and Sanya were pitiful and disapprehended, "They can be born in the Zhou family, at least they can study for a few years, and what if they can be admitted to the workers?" ”

She just suffered the loss of not going to school, but later caught up with the brigade to run a literacy class, and barely went to elementary school.

But after all, it's a little worse, don't you see that the Bai family is educated, people who have studied are quick learners.

Li Xiulan has had a different idea in recent years, she has not been pregnant again since she gave birth to Xiaoguo for nine years, and she has to change some ideas and pay more attention to her daughters.

It's hard to change the ideas in her bones, but in the environment of the Bai family, Li Xiulan is not as paranoid as before.

The son still wants it, but the daughter also needs to pay attention to it.

Bai Liu was noncommittal about Li Xiulan's opinion, she always felt that the relationship between Wu Ya and Zhou Xiangxi was difficult to evaluate.

However, it is a good thing that the mother and son are safe, I only hope that Zhou Xiangxi will not forget the daughter in front of him.

"Forget it, who can I control, we just need to live our own lives." She shook her head and turned her head to see that the children in the yard were gone, "Where did they go?" ”

"I went to pick the fruit again, but the wild fruits on the mountain were sour and astringent, and I don't know why they love to eat them." Bai Shu happened to come back from outside, "The big tiger is still playing crazy with them, so big they are all people who want to start a family, and they are still playing everywhere." ”

Bai Liu immediately heard the meaning of the words, and immediately asked, "Is the big tiger going to get married?" ”

Dahu has graduated from high school for more than a year, and at the beginning of this year, he participated in the recruitment and was admitted to the city machinery factory, and is now 19 years old.

In the past two years, there have been many people who have come to propose marriage, and many teenagers in the countryside have been married, but the Bai family always feels that he is still young, and it is better to define his temperament.

Of course, there is another reason, Dahu has just been admitted to the machinery factory, and he has a good job, but he is too young to share a house, and it is not very convenient to get married.

Bai Shu shook his head when he heard this: "That kid doesn't make sense, many people openly and secretly inquire about the matchmaker to the big tiger, but the big tiger doesn't have this mind." He also wants to marry someone with a job, wait, early. ”

Nine times out of ten, girls who have jobs are from the city, and the people in the city have high requirements, not only to have "three turns and one ring", but also to have a house.

There are younger brothers and sisters under the big tiger, and the Bai Shu family is only a little richer when Huang Meiling has been working in the past few years, but she can't afford so many dowries.

"Dahu has been sensible since he was a child, and he wants to save money for himself to marry a daughter-in-law in the future." Bai Liu instead felt that Dahu was a very responsible man.

Isn't it good that a man is willing to take the initiative to take on the responsibilities of being a husband and not want to drag down his parents?

Bai Shu and Huang Meiling were unhappy on their lips, but they were very relieved in their hearts.

"It's us who drag the kids down." Huang Meiling sighed.

Bai Liu shook his head: "Sister-in-law, don't think so, there are many children in the family, you always have to think a little more, Dahu is the eldest in the family, it's good to have this heart." ”

Many times people have to bear the burden of the family, in the final analysis, there are many children in the family, and life always has to be broken by themselves.

In the past few years, she has been running more in the market, and often communicates with the machinery factory about the new factory area of the textile factory, and learns that the machinery factory is going to recruit workers.

Dahu can seize the opportunity to participate in the recruitment, and this kid has a chance to succeed.

As she spoke, the big tiger had already run back with the children, and she saw the little dirty child walking at the end.

Jay, Jelly Bean really thinks she's not busy, and gets dirty with her clothes.

But the little dirty child didn't care, and ran over with a small basket: "Mom, I picked a lot of wild peaches today, can I make canned food?" ”

Little Cub - Ah no, now the Cub is almost nine years old, and he's a big cub, but Jelly Bean is still childish.

Jelly beans are also a little lower than their peers, drink milk every day, and get sick less but don't see them grow, which is a waste of food.

The cub thinks about eating every day, and his face is still meaty.

Bai Liu couldn't hold back, and pinched the cub's little face again: "Eat again, you have to take the final exam, you must do well this time!" ”

Jelly Bean was not angry when his face was pinched, he nodded, squinting with a smile: "I definitely won't take the countdown, don't worry, Mom!" ”

Of course, she doesn't earn the first place, there is no need.

"No, this time you do a little better, it's useful." Bai Liu accentuated his tone, "Next semester, you are going to the city to study in elementary school. ”
