Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Meng Xiaoman's craftsmanship is good, and she uses enough seasonings to make two simple side dishes delicious.

Xiao Xiangbei ate the food with big mouthfuls and couldn't help but praise, "The third brother and sister are really good at cooking."

Let's just say this simple mixed shredded radish, thin shreds, wrapped in vinegar and sesame oil, sour, spicy and refreshing.

"It doesn't matter how much oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are used. With so much oil, it's delicious even for shoe soles."

Mother Xiao said she was disgusted, but her hand picked up a large amount of shredded cold radish with chopsticks without mercy.

Xiao’s mother and her two daughters-in-law’s cooking skills were average, and they were reluctant to add seasonings. The stir-fried dishes were very bland, and Xiao’s father had already eaten enough. “The cooking skills of the third family are good, but we just need to save a little more when cooking next time. We have a big family and we don’t have enough food to eat.”

"I know, Dad, I just want you to eat more nutritious food if you are tired from working. It will be good for your health."

Meng Xiaoman replied obediently.

"Yeah," Father Xiao nodded with a helpful look on his face when he saw her good attitude.

After eating, Meng Xiaoman refused Xiao Xiangdong's help and went to wash the pots and dishes by herself.

As soon as she returned to the house after washing, she heard Xiao's mother pointing at the basin of dirty clothes in the yard and scolding Xiao Xiangdong at the door of the room.

"If you don't go to work every day, you don't know how to tidy up the house. The dirty clothes have been left for a long time and haven't been washed. You are a grown man, you can't just eat and do nothing every day. You have bad legs, but you are not Your hand is broken, can washing clothes tire you out?"

He was scolded and scolded all over the face, and he kept saying hurtful and useless things.

Meng Xiaoman, an outsider, felt that it was too much.

No one has ever said that about his own son.

But Xiao Xiangdong seemed to be used to hearing it. He didn't refute a word, and just looked at Xiao's mother quietly, with cold and cruel eyes, like looking at a stranger.

Seeing Meng Xiaoman coming over, she interrupted Xiao's mother, "If I'm useless, how did I get the house we live in and the job of my fourth brother?"

Xiao's mother didn't expect that he would talk back, and she choked for a moment. After a while, she defended that it was her and Xiao's father who built it.

It's just that the tone is very unconfident.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Xiaoman sneered.

"Such an obvious lie, where is the liar?"

These days, the countryside can have enough to eat, and the remaining few dozen yuan a year are the best homes. These five large brick houses and a yard can't be built without a thousand yuan.

"You, you house disturber, what's the matter with you while I'm talking to my son!"

Xiao's mother became angry and pointed at Meng Xiaoman's nose.

"Why is it none of my business? Xiao Xiangdong is my man, and his business is my business. It's okay to do housework, but you can't just pick weak persimmons. Look at that big pot, whose clothes are all. You all have hands and feet, but you are leaving it to a person with weak legs and feet to do it!"

"We are all busy at work, and he is the only adult in the family who doesn't do any work. What's wrong with asking him to wash some clothes? How can he be tired?"

"We won't refuse the work that belongs to him, but this brother-in-law washes clothes for his brother and sister-in-law. Not many people can do it, right?"

"Uh, isn't it just a matter of a few clothes? I'll wash them as soon as possible. We are all one family, why are we so separated?"

"Mom, you're right. If you accidentally ruin your clothes in the wash, for the sake of the family, your brother and sister-in-law won't care about it, right?"

Meng Xiaoman said profoundly.

When Xiao's mother heard this, she thought of the four broken bowls.

It's not easy to buy fabrics these days. They are all rationed. Some people may not be able to buy a new piece of clothing a year. If this person were to deliberately wash a few pieces, he would be sick to death.

Xiao's mother didn't expect that she, an educated youth in the city, would be so messy. She was so angry, but she couldn't act rashly, so she had to leave with a livid face.

When Meng Xiaoman saw her leaving, she turned around and went back to the house. She saw the man behind her looking at her with admiration.

"What's wrong?"

"you are great."

Xiao Xiangdong said sincerely, simply grasping his mother's lifeline.

"Ha, just average, third in the world."

"By the way, your mother's health is okay. I'm afraid I'll really make her sick if I turn around."

After all, Xiao's mother is an elder and her mother-in-law. If she really makes her angry, she will be drowned in the saliva of the villagers.

The countryside is especially a humane society.

"It's okay. But next time if you have something to say, you can tell me and I'll do it."

In the past, he was just himself, thinking that he would be like this for the rest of his life, giving up on himself, and not caring much about many things.

Things are different now. Now that I have a wife, I can't be like before and it doesn't matter anymore.

Meng Xiaoman nodded.

As the saying goes, if the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, it must be due to the husband's inaction.

Since Xiao Xiangdong said so, she didn't want to be an "evil wife" either.

After speaking, the two looked at each other, and for a moment they suddenly didn't know what to say.

Meng Xiaoman was not used to this kind of silence, so she found something to say: "Well, it's okay to just relax at home. I want to go for a walk in the mountains."

There are many mountains near the Qinghe Brigade. It is late autumn now, and there should be ripe wild fruits and nuts on the mountains.

She wanted to go up the mountain to look for it.

More importantly, she wanted to transplant some fruit trees into the space.

Once it bears fruit, you will be able to achieve fruit freedom in the future.

"Isn't your leg injured? It's better to wait until it's better before going."

"It's okay, it just looks scary." As if to prove that he was right, Meng Xiaoman lifted up his trousers and let him see.

On her white calves, there was a dark purple patch as big as a baby's fist.

"It looks quite serious. Do you want to go to the health center?"

Meng Xiaoman shook his head, "It's okay. My physique is just like this. It looks scary, but it doesn't actually hurt much."

After saying that, she walked a few steps normally to show him, "Look, I was all pretending before."

"I won't go far. I'll be down in a moment."

Seeing her persistence, Xiao Xiangdong had no choice but to agree.

After a short lunch break, Meng Xiaoman set out to go up the mountain.

"By the way, tie your trousers tight with a rope. When you leave, remember to use a stick to hit the grass and don't go deeper."

Before leaving, Xiao Xiangdong warned.

Meng Xiaoman nodded and walked out of the room with the basket on his back.

There are many bamboo woven products at home, all made by Xiao Xiangdong.

The supply and marketing society in the town collects such products, but they are very cheap, only a few cents each.

But it can still be considered an income.

The dirty clothes in the yard have been washed and are being dried on the line.

It seems that Xiao's mother has told her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law about their respective laundry matters.

Several nieces and nephews were playing in the mud in the yard. When Xiao Zhengjin saw her coming out, he was a little scared and hid behind.

Meng Xiaoman returned to the room, used the cover of the cabinet to take out a few fruit candies from the space, and gave one to Xiao Xiangdong who was weaving a bamboo basket beside him.

"I won't eat it, you can keep it."

As Xiao Xiangdong spoke, he kept moving, bamboo strips flying between his fingers.

"No, there's one for everyone." He peeled off the candy wrapper and put his fingers to his lips.

Xiao Xiangdong made a movement and opened his mouth slightly. Meng Xiaoman immediately stuffed the candy into his mouth.

Then he peeled off another one and ate it himself, and walked out without looking back.

Xiao Xiangdong was left alone, his cheeks slightly red.

The tip of the tongue is filled with sugar, very sweet.

The slightly dry lips seemed to still have the warmth of her fingertips.
