Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children
Chapter 70 - Fourth Brother's Marriage
If it was normal, Xu Shiyan shouted that outside, Xu Shiqin would have rushed out with his nephew and niece.
But today the house was quiet and there was no movement. Xu Shiyan felt strange and led his wife into the yard.
Until the two walked outside the door, just 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, who just looked at his face with a displeased expression.
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 sixth day? 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.
A foot of snow was brought from the outside, and anyone who entered the door stomped their feet, the door was wet and slippery.
Xu Shiqin worried about his sister-in-law, and carefully supported her.
What kind of moths are there? What kind of moths can come out?
They were the ones who were optimistic about your fourth brother at the beginning, and they wanted to follow you shamelessly, but now something is wrong?
Xu Shiyan was stunned, didn't he remember such a thing in his previous life?
Xu Shide, the eldest of the Xu family, teaches in Qingling, and has been dating 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 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, and no matter what food the family cooked, the youngest son would 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, and 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 battalion to Xu Shiyan. The Xu family was in a hurry, and the two of them set a date to get married within a short time.
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.
In this year, most of them don't get engaged too early. Usually, they get engaged one month before they get married, or get engaged at the beginning of the month and get married at the end of the month.
You know that if you are engaged, you have to walk around as relatives, and you are not allowed to give gifts during the holidays? The five sons of Xu's family can't afford any money.
So the Xu family was not in a hurry, and only in autumn did they find a matchmaker to go to the Wu family to discuss the marriage.
At that 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 just so happened that the team divided the money and food, and they were well-off, so they killed pigs and held banquets before the year, and celebrated the New Year when they got married.
Unexpectedly, the Xu family's marriage preparations are all ready, Xu Shide's school is on winter vacation, and he is preparing to come back to get engaged, but something has happened at the Wu family's end.
The Wu family said that if you want a bride price of one hundred 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 point 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 they get industrial tickets?
Besides, even if there is an industrial ticket, where will the hundreds of dollars come from?
For Xu Shide's marriage, 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?
When Xu Shiyan heard it, he was also quite surprised. 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, your mother has been nagging, I don't know when you two will go down the mountain?
Xu Chenghou's attitude was surprisingly 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 winter, the Xu family has not lost their flesh, 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 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 was naturally quite different after he changed his previous view.
With Xu Shiyan's attitude towards his father, his heart was full of ghosts. 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, mother, I just heard what happened from the sixth son? 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 the day of engagement soon, but it's like this at the other end.
A 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 looked at the five sons of the Xu family, and their days were prosperous, but in fact, whoever knew whose family was having a hard time.
Just the fact that these five sons got married and married their daughters-in-law is enough to cause headaches.
Fortunately, the first three are all going well.
Even though 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 arranged the marriage according to the rules of the village.
If the fourth child gets married, it will be done according to the requirements of the Wu family. What do the first three daughter-in-laws think? Can you be happy?
What about the fifth daughter-in-law? Do you want more when the fifth child gets married?
Zhou Guilan really felt sad, almost dying of worry.
What are you worried about? I didn't even take a fancy to Old Wu's family.
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 is this all about? Xu Cheng generously stared at Xu Shide who was sitting on the North Kang.
Look at you, you're so smart, you're doing stupid things, so you don't have a 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. After all the things that were agreed, he changed his mind temporarily. Is he going to get married or not?
They 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 was not deaf, so how could he not hear what his son said?
At that time, it was hot, and I raised my hand to pick up the broom bump, and I was about to smoke my son.
Xu Shixian and the others are all in the east room, so how can he really let his father beat the fourth child? So hurry up and stop.
Father, if you have something to say, don't do anything.
