Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

  Chapter 70 The marriage of the fourth child

  If Xu Shiyan yelled like this outside, Xu Shiqin would have rushed out with his nephew and niece long ago.

  But today the house was quiet and there was no movement. Xu Shiyan felt strange and led his wife to the yard.

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

   "Third brother, you're back?" It was Xu Shiqin, who just looked unhappy.

   "What's the matter? Is there something wrong 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 the lunar new year? There is something wrong with the Wu family."

  Xu Shiqin sighed, and reached out to help Su Anying enter the door. "Sister-in-law three, be careful, stomp your feet, don't slip."

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

  Xu Shiqin was worried about his sister-in-law, and carefully supported her.

   "A moth? What other moths can come out?

  At the beginning, they were optimistic about your fourth brother, and they wanted to follow you with shamelessness, but now something is wrong? "

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

  Xu Shide, the fourth eldest of the Xu family, teaches 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 a lively person and has a good temper. When he first went to Qingling to teach, he was picked up by the Wu family.

  The eldest daughter of the Wu family is named Wu Qiuyan, 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 fancy to Xu Shide, no matter what food they cooked, they would ask their youngest son to drag Xu Shide to the house for dinner.

   After going back and forth, Xu Shide and Wu Qiuyan saw each other.

  The Wu family had long wanted to finalize the marriage, but the Xu family never nodded in agreement.

  The main reason is that Xu Shiyan has never had a date. The Xu family is still very strict with rules. The elder brother is not married, and the younger brother cannot marry a wife first.

  Finally, in the spring of this year, someone mentioned Su Anying from the big camp to Xu Shiyan.

  Xu Shiyan's side just got engaged, but the other side of Wu's family urged him to also get engaged, for fear that the marriage would go wrong.

  Most people don’t get engaged too early this year, usually one month before they get married, or get engaged at the beginning of the month and get married at the end of the month.

  If you know that you have to be a relative when you get engaged, you can’t give gifts during the holidays? The five sons of Xu's family can't afford any money.

  So the Xu family has not been in a hurry, and only in autumn did they find a matchmaker to go to the Wu family to discuss the marriage.

   At the time, it was also very good. I got engaged on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month and got married on the twenty-sixth.

   It happened that the team divided the money and food, and they had enough money. They killed pigs and held banquets before the year, and celebrated the New Year when they got married.

   Unexpectedly, everything for the Xu family's wedding was ready. Xu Shide's school was on winter vacation and was preparing to come back to get engaged. A moth appeared at the Wu family's end.

   "The Wu family said that if you want a bride price of 100 yuan, you also need a radio, bicycle, and sewing machine. If you don't have these, you won't get engaged."

  Xu Shiqin was very angry. These things add up to five or six hundred yuan.

  The key is that bicycles also have radios and sewing machines, which cannot be bought without industrial tickets.

   Xu’s family doesn’t have any workers, so where can I get industrial tickets?

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

  In order for Xu Shide to get married, the family has already made a complete set of furniture and bedding, and bought two catties of wool, a watch, a pair of leather shoes for Wu Qiuyan, and made a pair of cotton clothes. Isn’t this all money?

  Xu Shiyan was quite surprised when he heard it. The Wu family has a big appetite, so I dare to ask for it.

   Entering the east room, I saw Xu Chenghou, Zhou Guilan and his wife sitting on the South Kang.

  Xu Chenghou was holding a pipe and pot in his mouth, smoking one after another, Zhou Guilan's complexion was not very good.

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

   "San'er and his wife are back? Quick, come and sit down. These days, my mother has been nagging, I don't know when you two will go down the mountain?"

  Xu Chenghou's attitude was unexpectedly gentle.

  This winter, Xu Shiyan brought home a lot of food. No matter if he killed a wild boar, black blind man or roe deer, he would send half of it back.

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

  Who in the village does not envy the Xu family? It is said that Xu Chenghou and his wife raised a capable son, and the whole family followed suit.

  Xu Chenghou also felt that his face was radiant, and his attitude towards this third son changed from the past, and his attitude was naturally quite different.

  Xu Shiyan's attitude towards his father made him feel uneasy. Did his father take the wrong medicine? I've never seen my father so kind before.

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

   "Father, Mom, I just heard what happened from the sixth child?" After Xu Shiyan sat down, he had to ask.

   "Oh, don't mention it, the family is worrying about the marriage of the fourth child." Zhou Guilan sighed and told Xu Shiyan about the matter.

   "You said that it's almost time to get engaged, but there's another thing like that.

  One hundred yuan gift, we can still take it out, but where can we find radios and bicycles?

   Isn't this embarrassing? "As Zhou Guilan said, her eyes turned red.

  Outsiders look at the five sons of Xu's family, and their days are prosperous, but in fact, whoever knows who's life is sad.

   Just the fact that these five sons got married and married their daughter-in-law is enough to cause headaches.

  The first three are okay, they all went well.

  Although the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are both educated youths, they didn’t want this or that at the beginning, and they all arranged marriages according to the rules of the village.

  If the fourth child gets married, it is really done according to the requirements of the Wu family. What do the first three daughter-in-laws think? Can you be happy?

  Where is the fifth daughter-in-law in the back? Do you want more when the fifth child gets married?

  Zhou Guilan really felt distressed, almost dying of worry.

   "Why worry? I didn't like the old Wu's house at first.

  How can their family do things like this? Why can't a good girl get married if she can't get married? Dragging the young man home all day long?

   What the **** is this? "Xu Cheng generously stared at Xu Shide who was sitting on the North Kang.

   "Looking at you, you are very smart, doing stupid things, so you have no place to eat, right? Do you have to go to his house to eat?

  You can't find a wife? Do you have to find Lao Wu's family? "Xu Chenghou was full of anger, and all of them were directed at the fourth child.

  Xu Shide is also very depressed. This is something that has been agreed, but he changed his mind temporarily. Is he going to get married or not?

   "People have long said that they want to get engaged, but you two disagree, and you are reluctant to part with the little money for the holidays.

  If you get engaged early, can this happen? "Xu Shide lowered his head and muttered in a low voice.

   "You bastard, tell me again? I'll kick you to death today."

  Xu Chenghou is not deaf, how could he not hear what his son said?

   At that time, I was on fire, and I raised my hand to pick up the broom, and I was about to smoke my son.

  Xu Shixian are all in the east room, how can he really let his father beat the fourth child? So hurry up and stop.

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