at the same time,

Outside the capital, Lin Family Village, Li Xiufen's house.

Inside a house of earthy yellow soil.

A kerosene lamp gave off a meager glow.

A dozen or so people sat on the ground, gathered in front of a large black iron pot.

There are sweet potatoes, potatoes, edamame, breaded noodles, and minced pork of course.

The black iron pot was full.

Her family didn't have a decent table, so she could only sit on the ground, and she didn't have decent chopsticks, so she had to pick and eat with bamboo ones.

There are more than a dozen steamed buns and a few steamed buns in the dustpan.

The four or five children stared intently at what was in the pot, holding the tattered and incomplete bowls, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help opening.

There are even two younger ones with halazi.

"Dad, is it Chinese New Year today?" One of Li Xiufen's younger brothers asked out of curiosity.

Xiufen's father coughed a few times and laughed: "Today is not the new year~ These are brought back from the city by your elder sister."

"Everyone of you should say thank you to your sister. If it weren't for your sister, your mother and I would have become more and more ill." Xiufen's mother looked at Li Xiufen in relief. She and Xiufen's father were able to receive treatment, all because of Li Xiufen The kid brought it.

Li Xiufen shook her head bitterly, and said solemnly to her family:
"Parents, younger siblings, grandparents. Don't thank me, it's all given by Sister Cuihua and Big Niu."

"They are the nobles of our family. When you grow up, you must remember to repay your kindness, and you must know how to repay your kindness."

"Say something each of you." Li Xiufen said to her younger siblings with serious expressions.

"Thank you, Sister Cuihua, Brother Big Niu. When I grow up, I will definitely repay their kindness." Li Xiufen's second brother has firm eyes. Although he is thin and not tall, his eyes are clear.

"Me too, sister, I will work for them in the future."

"Sister, I...I want to be Brother Big Niu's wife. Sister, do you think it's okay?" A soft and cute little girl said innocently, she looked more serious than anyone else.

Li Xiufen's house was greeted with cheers and laughter, but no one blamed the youngest sister.

ah~
Who told Qin Hao to secretly eat a piece of dried mutton for her today? She deeply remembered Qin Hao's appearance.

Li Xiufen nodded in satisfaction.

After thinking about it, she ordered before dinner:
"Our family is a little poor, but I hope that you will all study hard in the future and try to go to a junior high school."

"Farming the land has no way out. If you want our parents to live a good life, you have to learn by heart. The money matter is handled by my sister." Li Xiufen's words shocked the family, and everyone looked at her with wide eyes. .

"Sister? Can I read?"

"Xiufen, what are you talking about. Studying, how can our family have money?"

"I want to study too, Dai Honghua."

"Xiu Fen, you..."

Li Xiufen took out 20 yuan from her pocket and put it in her mother's arms.

"This is my dowry money, parents, you should use it first. When I have money, I will find a way to give it to you."

"If I can successfully marry in the city this time, I will find a job in the city as soon as possible to subsidize my family."

Li Xiufen made up her mind this time, she must marry the person Qin Huairu mentioned.

She wants Qin Huairu to gain a foothold in the city like that!

She wants her family to live a good life, and she doesn't want to turn her face to the loess and her back to the sky.

Her words made her parents, grandparents burst into tears, and they all didn't know what to say.

"Okay, don't look at me anymore, eat, eat, don't waste food, I will beat anyone who drops a grain." Li Xiufen showed a big sister attitude.

"Let's eat!"

"Sister, you eat first, thank you for your hard work."

……

The big pot of rice was quickly emptied, and everyone ate comfortably.

One o'clock in the middle of the night.

After the younger siblings were all asleep, Li Xiufen, her parents, and grandparents sat in front of the yard.

"Parents, grandparents, why do you refuse when Jia's family comes to pick you up tomorrow?" Li Xiufen's eyes were a little worried, she was worried that Jia and the Zhang family would make trouble.

Li Xiufen's grandfather shook the hookah and replied confidently:
"There is no one in the Jia family now. Jia Zhang's parents are gone, and grass has grown in her house."

"She can't be regarded as a member of the Lin family village. A few years ago, the Lin family village had a wedding and wedding event to inform Jia Zhang, but she never came back to help."

Xiufen's father was thoughtful: "Dad, what do you mean we don't need to be afraid of her?"

"Afraid of her? What are you afraid of? I'll just talk to the village chief tomorrow. If she dares to make trouble, we'll drive her out. Xiufen, don't worry, we'll leave the marriage refusal to us. I'm old, but You can still talk in this village."

"Just put your mind at ease. You don't even need to come forward." Li Xiufen's grandfather took a deep breath of the big cigarette and exhaled, everything was under control.

Li Xiufen's heart fell after hearing the suspension.

Then Li Xiufen started to sew the soles overnight, and when the rooster started crowing, Li Xiufen realized that she didn't know the other's size.

"Yeah, what should I do?"

"Forgot to ask!" Li Xiufen was flustered and embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, Sister Cuihua said that women's intuition is generally very accurate, maybe it's suitable." She quickly convinced herself, and began to keep sucking the soles of her shoes again.

10:[-] am.

Furious, Mrs. Jia and Zhang rushed to the door of Li Xiufen's house in Linjiazhai with a few aunts and some young people who were not working in the courtyard and yelled loudly.

"Li Xiufen, come out!"

"Li Xiufen!"

"Li Xiufen, what do you mean? We have been waiting for you at the gate of the city for an hour." Mrs. Jia Zhang was really angry. She was at the gate of the city at six o'clock in the morning to pick up Li Xiufen to go to the barber shop to get dressed, but in the end, even the hair was gone. Did not see.

Li Xiufen's mother walked out on crutches.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, our daughter is not married anymore. Here is your deposit of two yuan."

"You have it."

"We Xiufen decided this matter without telling us, so it can't be taken seriously."

"Our family can't let her marry now. She is gone, who will do the farm work? Or, you can let your Dongxu marry. This can be discussed." Xiufen's mother is also very talkative, talking about Jia Zhang Suddenly it became hot.

Li Xiufen is now out to deal with it. If she can't handle it, Xiufen's grandfather will bring someone over to deal with it in a while.

"Xiu Fen's mother, do you want to regret the marriage?"

Jia Zhang was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe her ears, Li Xiufen obviously agreed well.

Li Xiufen said at the time that she was in charge of her family, but she changed her mind after not seeing her for a few days.

She asked Jia Dongxu to buy a lot of vegetables and meat today. If she couldn't pick up anyone today, her family would go bankrupt, and He Yuzhu would make trouble for her. She couldn't bear it.

Going back empty-handed, her family's face was completely humiliated, how could she feel sorry for Dong Xu's father.

Panic, panic.

Jia Zhang didn't dare to be angry now, so she hurriedly stuffed back the two yuan and handed out another five yuan to Xiufen's mother.

"Xiu Fen's mother, I'll give you the dowry money. Is there any difficulty at home? Tell me?"

"Are you feeling better, or should I take you to the hospital?"

Xiufen's mother looked at Jia Zhangshi coldly: "Don't tell me, what you say today is useless. If you don't marry, you don't marry. You can't even lift a sedan chair."

"Jia Zhang, don't do this to me. I don't know what you are. When you were young, you gave us good looks. When you married in the city, you invited us to the banquet. people?"

"Don't forget, you are also a rural person. Without the land in Linjiazhai to raise you, you are nothing!"

"Nonsence!"

"Go away! We don't welcome you in Linjiazhai. You are a white-eyed wolf!"
