The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

Li Chengye: "Then will your family have a place to live?"

Xu Liu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, our old house has been returned." The reason why Xu Liu is so busy these days is not only because of the exam, but also to clean up the ancestral house.

"Okay, just tell me if you need my help." Li Chengye nodded.

Xu Liu quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I've already cleaned up."

In this case, Li Chengye didn't say any more, greeted Xu Liu and continued to the classroom.

The Xu family can't be considered a big family. They were all rural people three generations ago, and it happened that their ancestral home was Hu'an Province.The reason why they later became a relatively famous family in the capital is that Mr. Xu also accumulated military exploits.He was originally an ordinary farmer with a wife, son and daughter. Later, he joined the army in his 20s. During his more than 40 years of military career, death was approaching, but he survived, and the Xu family came into being.

Although he experienced some grinding in the past few years, he still survived, and the Xu family did not collapse.

On the train from the frontier to the capital, several important members of the Xu family were talking together. Mr. Xu had two wives in his life, but both of them have passed away. The first wife was married when he was in his hometown. One son and one daughter.But then his hometown suffered a catastrophic flood, and his daughter and wife were drowned by the flood. When he returned, he only found one son, which is his current eldest son.

Mr. Xu's second wife was a cultural person introduced by the army, a female college student, who also gave birth to a son for him, who was Xu Liu's father. The two had a very good relationship, but they also passed away due to illness a few years ago.

Now the eldest of the Xu family has three sons, and he has a good relationship with his wife, and they all came back together this time, but Xu Liu's father only has one daughter, Xu Liu.

Sitting with Mr. Xu at this time is Xu Jinliang, the elder of the Xu family, and Xu Jintu, the second child of the Xu family.

Grandpa Xu opened his closed eyes and glanced at his eldest son, "Boss, how long will it take for us to arrive in the capital?"

Boss Xu hurriedly said, "Dad, I'll be there in an hour at most."

Mr. Xu nodded, and looked at his second son again, "Although we are fine now, you still have to be careful when you return to the capital, and just concentrate on doing your own things, especially the second son, don't care about anything else. Damn, although I can't go any further, the most important thing is that nothing will happen."

Now the letter of appointment of the eldest and second son of the Xu family has been issued to them. Xu Jinliang is in the army, so he just needs to manage the army well. But Xu Jintu, who is in politics, has more things to face, otherwise the Xu family would not have The accident will start with Xu Jintu.

Xu Jintu quickly nodded and agreed, he would naturally be more careful, his daughter's mother is unreliable, and he didn't want to make his daughter worry anymore.

In fact, the Xu family seemed to be actively seeking to be transferred this time, leaving the place of right and wrong, and avoiding a lot of troubles.Although he suffered a bit, but with the care of some old friends of Mr. Xu, he was not hurt. The second and third generations of the Xu family are also safe, and they just need to resume their duties and show their strengths again.

Thinking of the letter sent by his daughter before, Xu Jintu hurriedly said to Mr. Xu: "Dad, Xu Liu was taken care of by his family when he went to the countryside to be an educated youth, so he accepted a godmother."

We're going to the capital soon, and there are some things that should be said.

Mr. Xu frowned when he heard the words, thinking that it is not so easy for a family like them to recognize their relatives. It is related to the future exchanges between the two families, and they must ensure that the other party will not affect them.

Seeing Mr. Xu like this, Xu Jintu hurriedly added: "I have already had someone check it out. The family is very simple. There are only four people. It is a widow with a son and two grandchildren. The godmother Xu Liu is said to be an orphan. But that son has more experience. He was an officer at the beginning, but later retired due to injury. He has been working in the steel factory in their county. After entering the Capital University, he was also the number one student in science in the national college entrance examination last year, and the future should also have a bright future."

To be honest, when Xu Jintu saw Li Chengye's information, he couldn't believe it. If these experiences were divided into two or three people, it would be nothing, but it would be surprising if it were put on one person.

As expected, Mr. Xu also showed surprise on his face, and became interested in Li Chengye, "What's the name of that young comrade?"

Xu Jintu: "Li Chengye."

"After you go back, prepare some gifts and come to visit. If it is worth dating, then you can come and go often." Mr. Xu didn't say what would happen if it wasn't worth dating, but Xu Jintu understood his future. Do what you want.

Although Li Chengye already knew the time when the Xu family arrived in the capital, he had no intention of picking it up. Although the position of Mr. Xu has not been determined yet, orderly soldiers and guards are already in place, so naturally Li Chengye would not post anything on purpose. Just concentrate on preparing for your exam.

Xu Liu really wanted Li Chengye to accompany her, but thinking about the situation at home, she finally gave up on this idea.

The houses returned to the Xu family were not limited to the old house, but also a villa in a military compound and a house near the Capital University.

Xu Liu received them very smoothly. For safety's sake, they didn't go to the courtyard of the old house, but to the villa in the military area.

"Dad." Looking at the man in front of him who had experienced a lot of vicissitudes, Xu Liu, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, finally couldn't help but shed tears.

"Okay, everything is over." Xu Jintu patted his daughter's head with pity. At first, he thought that no matter what, her daughter would live better with her mother.The places they were going to were all frontier deserts, and they had worked very hard. He did not expect that his ex-wife who loved his daughter so much would turn out to be so indifferent to her later.

Before we met, there were a lot of things I wanted to say, but now Xu Liu feels that there are some things that I don't need to say anymore, as long as I come back.

The Xu family was numerous and powerful, so they quickly packed up and settled down, and Li Chengye's family, as those who had helped them, were naturally invited to visit.

Mother Li sent Xu Liu and her father away, and looked at Li Chengye, "Son, are we really going to Xu's house for dinner tomorrow night?" Her family still has such complicated things.Besides, those big families are not very easy to get along with. Her son is so good, it would be bad if people think he is suspected of clinging.

But Li Chengye didn't care. Looking at Li's mother's worried expression, he said directly: "If you don't want to go, it's fine. I'll just talk to Xu Liu directly tomorrow." Also feel relaxed.

After Li Chengye made such a statement, Li's mother hesitated again, "Isn't that okay? They are so sincere that they came to invite them in person. Wouldn't it be shameful not to go? Besides, we have recognized our god-in-law after all. Still should go."

After Li's mother knew what happened at Xu Liu's house, she felt even more distressed about this girl. She used to think that she was an orphan, and it was fine if she accepted a god-in-law at will, but now she has to visit her house formally.

Li Chengye already understood that his mother was just complaining casually. In fact, he had already made up his mind to go, and this meeting was just to seek some comfort from him.

"Then go, anyway, we don't ask them for anything, just treat them like ordinary people."

"That's it!"

"But don't we have to bring something back when we go there tomorrow?"

"Bring some vegetables over there! Everyone knows about our family, and we don't have any expensive things. If you see a child, give a red envelope!" Their Li family originally came from the countryside, and everyone knows about it, let alone you The good things can still be compared to other people's homes, just do what you can.

"That's okay. I just fed a few chickens before, and they are almost grown up now. I will bring two over tomorrow." Mother Li thought for a while, and was still going to get some meat over there.

"so be it."

……

The next afternoon, Li Chengye returned to Li's house after class, and not long after Li Chengye came back, Xu Liu came over in a car.

"Godmother, Brother Ye, I'm here to pick you up!" Standing at the door, Xu Liu shouted into the yard.

Xiaoxi and Xiaobei in the yard were very happy to see Xu Liu, and hurried over, calling "aunt" and "aunt".

"Hey, you guys are good, come and get in the car first." Xu Liu was also very happy to see these two little ones, and quickly patted their heads and carried them into the car.

"Hey, here we come." In the house, Mother Li was tying chickens. She had raised the chickens almost as soon as they moved here. It has been more than three months. Chickens are still waiting to lay eggs.

"Son, do you have anything else? Don't forget about it!" Mother Li handed the finished little cock to Li Chengye, and was ready to go.

"I've already got them, the bag you gave me earlier." Li Chengye shook his head helplessly, these things have already been checked.

Mother Li was finally relieved now, she clapped her hands and said to Li Chengye, "Okay, let's go quickly! To save Xu Liu from waiting outside for a long time."

Li's mother strode forward, and Li Chengye followed her with things in both hands.

Outside, Xu Liu was standing at the rear door talking to Xiaoxi and Xiaobei who were in the car.They are very familiar, Tong Yan Tong Yu looks very happy chatting, the two children are almost rolling in the car.

"Xu Liu, we are here, we can set off." Mother Li walked over and hurriedly said.
