Part 1
It’s lively now. So many elders and adults in the family are still there, but the children’s household registration is transferred to other people’s homes. The thing is that the elders in the family even agreed. Is this shameless?
There was a lot of discussion in the village, and when they went home to eat, every family was talking about it as a joke.
Song Guihua’s family was also talking about this, but it was not a joke, but a serious discussion about the two sisters Xu.
Because the two sisters Xu Nannan come to eat and live at home, Song Guihua’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, didn’t gossip, but asked her daughter-in-law not to mix up with such things in the future, which would not be good for offending people.
Mrs. Chen’s temper is not good, she is one of the few people in the village who dares to scold the old lady of the old Xu family behind the house. But for her daughter-in-law, she is still very satisfied. After all, the daughter-in-law’s looks are blessed, and she gave birth to two boys in one breath. Both of them are not only blessed, but they are also the great heroes of their family.
So about Song Guihua’s management of Xu sisters, she also casually mentioned it. She didn’t blame her either.
“Mom, I know that our family is not well-off and shouldn’t take care of other people’s affairs. But we can help while watching these two children grow up under our noses. Little Nannan is also sensible. I let them come, but they won’t come either.”
Song Guihua explained.
Granny Chen is a widow, and only have a son like Xu Gui, so Song Guihua and Xu Gui are usually filial. After listening to Granny Chen talk about this, naturally they also patiently explain.
Mrs. Chen sighed and sighed, “Forget it, it’s all over, let’s not mention it. The two sisters are not having a good time, and they can’t help me, so I am left empty. Help them clean up the wooden house, somehow cover the roof up so that it doesn’t leak.”
Listening to Mrs. Chen’s words, Song Guihua was also happy, “Mom, don’t worry, they’re in a household registration book anyway, we will definitely do this.”
“Mom, do we have two more sisters?” Song Guihua’s youngest son Shitou grinned.
When he came back from school, he heard that there were two more people on his household registration, namely Nannan and Xiaoman from the old Xu family in the afternoon.
The eldest son, Mutou, gave him a contemptuous look, “Look at you, who would be willing to be your sister?”
“What’s wrong with me? grandma said, I am most like my dad when he was a kid.”
Mutou said, “Why didn’t I hear that Dad was stupid before?”
“You scold me, I will beat you.” Shitou rushed towards his brother directly. Before he rushed, he was dragged by his father Xu Gui, “What are you doing? You can’t just stop eating, you are really like an old couple.”
Song Guihua also sighed, while the two sisters care so much about each other, her own two children are noisy all day long.
Granny Chen laughed happily, she liked the noise of her grandchildren at home. This is how people thrive.
Song Guihua and her husband went to the mountain without a break after they finished their meal. They should be prepared to help tidy up the house, otherwise there will be air leaks at night.
The two children, Mutou and Shitou also wanted to go.
The children don’t care whether they are biological or not. Anyway, it is the person on their own account who will be their own sisters in the future. They are their own people, so they must act righteously.
This time, even Song Guihua couldn’t control the two children, so she could only watch them go to the mountain with their feet.
On the walk, they met Xu Gensheng and took his son and daughter-in-law to the mountain.
“Oh, you guys are also going to the mountains?” Song Guihua looked at the three of Xu Gensheng’s family in surprise. This is surprising. The captain Xu Gensheng has always been a gentleman. This time his son and daughter-in-law went to the mountains. Is it possible that they were also helping Sister Nannan?
Xu Gensheng looked a little embarrassed on his face, he coughed and coughed, and said, “Looking at the two children, they look so pitiful. So we’re sending something to help tidy up. After all, my Qiuliang will take a month to come down, so we can’t let the two children starve”
TL Note: Qiuliang -moral character degree of forbearance, broad-mindedness or otherwise tolerance magnanimity.
His son and daughter-in-law are helpless behind. Those who couldn’t sleep at noon were kicked out of the house by their mother-in-law. She also said that if it weren’t for the milk powder given by Nannan, little Hutou would not be able to grow this well right now, and he should not be ungrateful.
Do not wear a hat that is way too big for one’s head.
TL Note: do not wear a hat that is way too big for one’s head – Like all things Chinese that emphasise on humility and the value of face, the saying is presented subtly to remind people not to take on a form beyond one’s ability or worth.
Song Guihua suddenly smiled, “That’s right, we are also going to help clean up the house. If there are more people, we can do it faster.”
They met a few people on the road. She heard that they were all helping Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman to clean up the house, so they went with them. Anyway, if there are too many people, and if even there were not many things, there is a little heart to help.
When they reached the farm, there were about ten people.
Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman were content to eat their first lunch after leaving the old Xu family when they saw this mighty group of people. She almost thought that there was something wrong with the account.
After hearing Song Guihua’s explanation of her intentions, her heart suddenly felt full. To be honest, she doesn’t have a strong sense of belonging to Xujiacun Village. In the whole village, she only really felt close to Song Guihua. So she didn’t expect that this many people would come to help her without her relatives and with no reason.
Yes, the people at this time are still very simple. Because she is too heavily influenced by the people of the old Xu family, she thinks people are too bad.
If there are many people, the efficiency of doing this will be high. Cutting the hay, cleaning up the roof, filling the gaps in the wall. Even the window was reinstalled.
“Nannan, your sisters lived like this for the first time. While I’m busy here for a while, I’ll soon find you a suitable house.”
As everyone was finishing off, Xu Gensheng walked over, smoking a pipe.
“Uncle Gensheng, this house is very good. Xiaoman and I can live in enough. Don’t bother everyone.” Xu Nannan was really embarrassed.
Xu Gensheng sighed, “Hey, everyone knows why you didn’t go back to the old Xu’s house. No one said it was because of me. This house still needs to be settled, or else how will you and Xiaoman live in the future?”
Although he is a loving and a coward, when it comes to this point, he, as an elder, as a captain, will not escape responsibility. Those who should help still have to help. Moreover, there is only one earthen house. There are still some extinct families in the village. The houses are now vacant and they are taken to the township government. When the time comes, she will walk around and live with this sister.
Soon, everyone was busy.
The sisters Xu are children after all, and no one came to talk to them. When they were finished, they arranged to go down the mountain to work together. On the way, the old Xu family was still being discussed.
Only Song Guihua and her two sons stayed behind to help Xu Nannan clean up the house.
Before, Xu Nannan and her sister slept directly on the ground, laying hay. This time everyone got wooden stakes and made a bed frame. They even got a wooden board on it, which made it look like a bed.
“Before winter, this house still needs to be changed, or else you and your sister won’t be able to get through it.”
Song Guihua sighed as she cleaned up. She arranged the things Xu Gensheng’s family had brought to Xu Nannan, “Xu Gensheng brought these things. This time, their family was very righteous and gave a lot of things. You and Xiaoman can eat for more than half a month. When the time comes that the food is not enough, we’ll think of a solution.”
“Auntie, I don’t know how to thank you anymore.” Xu Nannan’s voice was a little choked, and her heart swelled. She really did not expect that the villagers would be so enthusiastic to help. She even felt that her previous thoughts to the people in the village were completely unworthy of such help.
“Why do you say thank you? We’re all in the same village. Whose family is not a bit difficult? You used to be at home and we couldn’t do anything. Now that you come out, we can’t just watch you and Xiaoman not make it through.”
“Sister, if someone bullies you in the future, tell me, I’ll help you beat them.” Shitou patted his chest.
“It’s yours, you know how to be mischievous all day long, just don’t get into trouble.” Song Guihua patted his head.
“I’m helping my sister! Big sister Nannan, you will belong to our family. From now on, you’re our sister.” Shitou smiled and cocked his mouth. He and Mutou were the only two boys at home, and they were always quarreling and fighting, so they envied that others that had an older sibling figure. It’s alright now that they immediately got an extra big sister and a younger sister.
Mutou curled his lips and looked at Xu Xiaoman, “Xiaoman, turn around and I’ll teach you how to write. Shitou doesn’t know this, he is stupid in reading.”
“Who said that?” The Shitou immediately turned, shouting.
“Teacher said.” Mutou earnestly said.
Shitou suddenly blushed. He was not afraid of anyone, except for the teacher in the class. The teacher said he was stupid, but is it true?
Shitou felt tangled.
Xu Nannan chuckled and laughed, “From now on, I will be your sister. Listening to what you said, I have to study hard. I also plan to send Xiaoman to school, but don’t be compared with Xiaoman.”
“Nannan, do you want to send Xiaoman to study?” Song Guihua looked at her in surprise. Although the tuition fee for elementary school in the village is not high, the life of the two children is still a problem. Going to school is not an easy task. You can go to the village to ask if you can accommodate it. It’s just that Lao Xu’s family are all there, and she doesn’t know if the village will let them.
Song Guihua’s head began to wander around.
Xu Nannan smiled and said, “Auntie, don’t worry, don’t be anxious now, I still have to wait for next year.” Although she is rich now, she just moved out to send Xiaoman to school, so others will definitely guess. After dividing the grain and the money, she has to take a little time and it will be easier.
“Oh, okay, turn around and let Mutou make up for Xiaoman. Apart from anything else, this kid is good at reading.” Song Guihua said with some pride.
Xu Nannan didn’t refuse Song Guihua’s kindness this time, “That’s going to be troublesome for Little Mu.”
Mutou coughed, resisting a smile, and nodded.
Seeing that, Shitou next to him looked a little unconvinced, Xu Nannan smiled, “There is also a little Shi, you have to study hard, and then teach Xiaoman together. After all, you are now Xiaoman’s big brother.”
Only then did the little Shi nod happily, “I must be smarter than him.” This is naturally the little Shitou that has been suppressing him.
The villagers helped the Xu sisters clean up the house, and Lao Xu’s family soon heard of it.
Old lady Xu was very angry. “Why do all the good things have to go to their door, while no one cares about our family? We need them to take care of the things of our old Xu family too.”
Old man Xu said, “Forget it, it doesn’t matter to us anyway. It’s just that, we have to talk to Jiansheng. Lest they come back, know that their daughter is not a registered in their family, and they will have bad thoughts in their minds.”
“What the hell? It’s not that we drove them out, but they themselves posted on Song Guihua. That is something that you couldn’t do if you have face.” Old lady Xu said with a twisted expression.
“That’s what I said, but you still have to be careful. The last time, Jiansheng was still very protective of Erya. I think it will be possible. Find someone to go to the city and talk to Jiansheng in advance, so as not to let him get the wrong idea.”
“Who will you send looking? We can’t move our old arms and legs.” The old lady said unwillingly. She didn’t want to go to the city. She felt that she was a rural person. She had no confidence in the city and made people look down upon. But the old man was right. The last time Jiansheng came back, his attitude was indeed a little different. It would be bad if he went back and made trouble again. After all, if Li Jing wants to change from a farmer to a licensed city-dweller, then the two grandsons will have to make a decision to join on the other side of the boss. “If you don’t let Jianhai go, he is smarter than the third.”
“Recently, we are going to build farmland infrastructure. Our family will definitely have to go to an individual distribution. At that time, we will have to keep people in the field. Jianhai is a man and can’t walk away. Let Liu Qiao go, she is also a sensible person.”
When Mrs. Xu heard Liu Qiao’s name, she had no objection. After all, this third daughter-in-law is indeed a smart person. “How did you find this daughter-in-law in our family? A smart son with a stupid daughter-in-law, and a foolish son with a clever daughter-in-law. And a girl… Who was born as a servant, while she got the most highly productive and filial son in our family.”
The more she said, the more frustrated the old lady felt.
In the evening, when the sons and daughters-in-law returned home, the old lady made a decision between herself and the old man. Let the third daughter-in-law Liu Qiao go to the city to clarify the family’s affairs with the eldest family, so that the eldest family will not misunderstand the family.
Liu Qiao’s eyes lit up, and she said calmly, “Father, Mother, don’t worry, I can make it clear and let the eldest brother know the difficulties of Mother and Father.”
“Why should she go? I want to go too.” Zhang Cuiqin shouted from the side. Xu Jianhai didn’t hold her this time.
Old lady Xu frowned, “Cui Qin, what are you doing, it was your dad and I’s decision, do you have any comments?”
“There must be some opinions. If Liu Qiao can go, I can’t go. I’m still the second child’s wife, she’s the third child’s wife, so why does she have to run ahead of me? The children didn’t come back last month, and I was a mother too, in my heart, I’m also worried. So if she can go, I can go as well.”
Zhang Cuiqin started crying as she talked, tears and nose streaming out, “My poor Leizi, he hasn’t seen his mother for a month, and I don’t know how much he miss me.”
Old lady Xu was dizzy with her irritating self. She patted the table and said unhappily, “It’s all done! Who will stay working if you don’t listen to what I said? It can’t be helped!”
Xu Jianhai said, “Mom, Cui Qin has such a unique personality, so don’t be angry when you are old. She really wants to see her children. In exchange, I will do more to let Cui Qin go and see the children. If my younger brother’s wife went, Meizi and Longlong will see their mother, but what about our family Honghong and Leizi? They wouldn’t see her, so they must feel uncomfortable in their hearts.”
Xu Jianhai said this to the old lady’s heart. Old lady Xu didn’t feel sorry for her daughter-in-law. Even if she liked Liu Qiao, she couldn’t feel sorry for Liu Qiao’s sister-in-law, but she felt sorry for her grandson. Especially Zhang Cuiqin’s son Xu Lei, who is her eldest grandson.
The old lady feels calm for her son, and she feels that the son should give her the end of the life. That is their responsibility and the purpose of her to giving birth to these sons. But this grandson is different. He will be the root of the old Xu family.
Not wanting the eldest grandson and the eldest granddaughter to be sad, the old lady gritted her teeth and decided to let Liu Qiao and Zhang Cuiqin go together.
As for letting Zhang Cuiqin go alone… the old lady didn’t dare to think like that.
The next day, Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao did not go to the ground and set off for the city together.
After Song Guihua knew about this, she hurriedly went to the mountain to talk to Xu Nannan about it. “Nannan, do you want to go to the city to talk to your parents, or else they will call you a white-eyed wolf infront of your parents.”
At this time, the Xu family asked Liu Qiao and Zhang Cuiqin to go to the city. Needless to say, everyone knew what it was for. Isn’t it worrying if Xu Jiansheng comes back to find out that her daughters are not in the same household registration book?
This is to go ahead and put the blame on both Xu Nannan sisters.
Xu Nannan had just finished cutting the pig grass and was feeding the pigs. Xu Xiaoman was on the side to help.
Hearing what Song Guihua said, Xu Nannan was shocked, then shook her head, “I don’t need to go.” She had expected Lao Xu’s family to do this. But she didn’t think much about it. The reason why she acted in front of Xu Jiansheng before was because she was in the old Xu’s family, and she was alone and weak. But now it’s different. She is no longer from the old Xu family, and Xu Jiansheng can’t control her anymore. So she doesn’t have to get herself involved.
“You child, your grandma is still your grandma, and your parents are still your parents. No matter how they are, they can’t treat you like your grandma did.” Song Guihua still doesn’t want see these two children and their parents separate from each other.
No matter how the Xu Jiansheng couple is, they are also relatives, so they will always feel sorry for their daughters, even if they think they are less, they can’t be less than nothing.
“Auntie, I really won’t go. Last time I went to the city, my mother counted me down. Anyway, because I was not pleasing to her eyes, she kept letting me go back to my hometown. This time I won’t go. If my dad really loves me, he won’t just listen to the words of my second and third aunts. Even if they won’t hurt me, I won’t go, it’s useless.” She didn’t want to suffer from the idleness. However, she still had to go back in the city. She would go there in a few days to buy some stamps and put them on Taobao.
In the past few days, she has been busy with things separated from the old Xu’s house, so she hasn’t taken care of her store properly. This shop is what she rely on, and all the money she has now depends on Taobao shop.
Thinking of this, she took two yuan from her pocket and handed it to Song Guihua. “Aunty, let’s not talk about them anymore. I happen to have something to trouble auntie.”
Song Guihua saw that she suddenly took out the money, and was stunned, “Where did that come from?” The old Xu family was like that so she didn’t expect them to give her more money.
Sure enough, Xu Nannan said nervously, “Auntie, don’t let the family know. The money was given to me by those uncles and aunts who saw me pitifully and secretly in the mine where my dad worked last time in the city. I told my family that I wanted to save it for an emergency or something in the future. Now I can’t keep it anymore. I live with Xiaoman and I still lack a lot of things. I’m still not able to take the money to buy things. Please aunty, this is for the help. I’m busy going back to the supply and marketing agency to buy something.”
This was naturally an excuse, Xu Nannan had prepared it a long time ago. The last time she sold milk powder, she kept carrying it close to her body and had no chance to use it. Although she was worried about being known, she couldn’t keep carrying the money without using her money, so she had a miserable life. She can only find such an excuse to let Song Guihua help.
Fortunately, Song Guihua didn’t doubt it. She had never been to the city. She didn’t know what the people in the city were like. She only felt that she was lower than them. It seems normal to give a few dollars. “Look, the people in the city are still generous. Two yuan is a lot.”
Xu Nannan was shy, “There are two more. Save them and use them slowly later.”
“There are still many good people in this world. Even though there are still a few bad people like the old Xu family.” Song Guihua was also very happy. She was worried about how Xu Nannan would live her life before. Now that she has these few dollars, she can last for a while.
The supply and marketing cooperative was in the township, not far from Xujiacun Village. Song Guihua didn’t delay, so she left with a basket on her back. She likes Xu Nannan even more in her heart. She feels that this child trusts her and is willing to put two dollars in her hands. That is not to treat her as an outsider.
Song Guihua is a person who can live a life. The two dollars are very delicate. They have all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. They also bought some saponaria for washing clothes. Finally, according to Xu Nannan’s instructions, they bought some sugar.
Xu Nannan only picked up other things and handed the sugar to Song Guihua.
Song Guihua doesn’t want to, “You are having a hard time, how can I ask for your things?”
“Auntie, Mutou and Shitou call me as sister. This candy is my gift to them. Otherwise, me and my sister will have no energy in making it. Just this time, I will not be polite in the future. I didn’t take my aunt as an outsider either. “
Xu Nannan resolutely said.
Song Guihua pushed back for a long time, but in the end she could only accept, “You child, you are too polite. You won’t be allowed to do this in the future.”
“Auntie, I know.” Xu Nannan smiled sweetly. In fact, buying things today is still the same thing, and buying things for Song Guihua is also a plan. Although things are not worth anything, it is also her heart. After all, Song Guihua’s family helped her too much. If she didn’t express it a little bit, she would think it was too much. As an orphan in her previous life, she took human relationships very seriously. If they give something to her, she must repay it.
On the city side, Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao finally reached the mine side after some twists and turns.
It was not the first time that the two came here. When they last came, they were fine before, they took turns to visit the children. This time they were familiar with the family and found the family room in the mine.
Xu Jiansheng’s family was just having dinner. Li Jing gritted her teeth and bought half a fish today, and the children are eating happily. Seeing Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao coming, they were a little surprised.
Xu Hong frowned, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
Zhang Cuiqin didn’t care about her daughter’s questioning, she saw the half fish on the table in her eyes.
Speaking of it, it’s been a long time since they opened meat at home. There was a piece of bacon hanging, but the old lady wouldn’t give it to them alive, so she steamed a few slices for the old man to eat at every meal, and the others she had to keep for the children back in the city.
After seeing the meat dishes, Zhang Cuiqin didn’t care about anything. She quickly sat on the table and picked up Li Jing’s untouched bowls and chopsticks, “Oh, I’m really starving to death. We came out early in the morning, stunned. I came here, and I haven’t eaten anything until now.”
Xu Meizi glanced at Liu Qiao, the mother and daughter looked at each other, and said nothing. Xu Meizi didn’t move her chopsticks, so she watched Zhang Cuiqin eat.
Xu Hong frowned and said, “Mom, eat slowly. Uncle and Auntie haven’t eaten yet.” Seeing her mother’s vulgar appearance, she felt too embarrassed, and Meizi and her mother didn’t move.
“I usually eat less, what happened to me?” Zhang Cuiqin said vaguely.
Seeing her like this, Li Jing felt disgusted in her heart. But she also knew Zhang Cuiqin’s virtue, so she didn’t talk to her at all, and instead treated Liu Qiao to sit down, “What are you doing here?”
Although she asked with a smile on her face, she couldn’t respond in her heart. She didn’t like Liu Qiao and the others coming to the city, and she was not even willing to take the children back. She was worried that the children would spend a long time with the family, and would not be close to their aunt, and would not be filial to her in the future.
But unfortunately, they have to let the parents see their children.
Liu Qiao didn’t seem to notice what she was thinking. He glanced at Xu Jiansheng, looked at her again, and then sighed, “It was my parents who asked me and the second’s wife to come over, it was about Erya and Siya.”
“What’s wrong with these two girls?” Li Jing asked with gritted teeth. She knew that the two children knew that they would find something for her. If it were not for these two children, Liu Qiao and Zhang Cuiqin would not have come to the city to disturb her in such a good day.
Zhang Cuiqin was half full at this time, and when she heard that she was about to start talking about the’guilt’ of the two sisters, Xu Nannan, she suddenly became excited, “This matter is still for me, don’t you know, these two children are really lawless, they are simply ungrateful. !”
Seeing that she had spoken, Liu Qiao let her talk about it. She sat quietly on the side as a companion.
Zhang Cuiqin talked about how Xu Nannan talked back to the two old people at home, and the angry old lady almost fainted, adding fuel and jealousy, and finally concluded, “We all persuaded her, but she didn’t listen. She had to think that Song Guihua was willing to take them home. Still making trouble in the village, everyone knows Xu Gensheng personally brought the two sisters to the village to find their grandparents, and they had to change their accounts. Our dad is very angry, but if he doesn’t change his accounts, this kid is going to make trouble. In the end, Dad had no choice but to let her change. Mom and Dad said that they were worried that you would think about it when you got home. Let me tell you clearly so that you can save time when you complain.”
She was talking about the excitement. Xu Meizi raised her head and looked at Liu Qiao. Seeing Liu Qiao nodded, the corners of her mouth showed a shallow joy. Soon she lowered her head again, without letting others notice.
Xu Jiansheng’s face changed colorfully at this time, “Nannan really said that? She just doesn’t like this house so much so she wants to go to someone else’s house?”
He didn’t ask Zhang Cuiqin, but looked at Liu Qiao.
He knows that Zhang Cuiqin is an unreliable person, and for what the truth is, he still has to look at what the third wife is saying.
Liu Qiao sighed, “It was Erya who asked to go out, and she also asked for a change of account. Brother, we really can’t stop it.” She consciously said that she was right. These were all proposed by Erya. Even if Xu Jiansheng went back to the village to inquire, it wouldn’t be a lie. As for why he wanted to mention it, Xu Jiansheng didn’t ask.
“Bang—” Xu Jiansheng hit the table with a fist, and almost turned over the dining table he hit directly. The people next to him made a big jump.
“Old Xu, what are you doing?” Li Jing hurriedly grasped his hand and saw that his hands were all red, and tears were distressed.
“You said you were angry with these two white-eyed wolves. It’s not worthwhile to be angry. I said it a long time ago. That girl Nannan is a white-eyed wolf. I went back and had trouble with her grandma. It was not a safe one. There are no elders and no adults in the eyes, and it is not unusual to do such a conscience. I think it is good for her to leave, so as not to anger her grandparents and hurt you in the future. People poke their spine.”
Li Jing didn’t feel anything about the two children changing their accounts. These two children will not do her business if they are placed in a household. What’s more, the two children’s quarrel just verified what she said before. Now it’s time for Old Xu to believe what she said.
The more she said these things, the more angry Xu Jiansheng’s heart became, and he beat the table fiercely with the other hand.
“My dad is still there, they don’t even recognize their ancestors, these two little bastards!” Xu Jiansheng’s angry eyes were red.
Zhang Cuiqin picked her teeth and said of course, “If I say, this is forgetting the ancestor. Our village was also an ancestor hundreds of years ago. But this kid does not recognize you as a dad. If it weren’t for Dad’s stopping, It is estimated that she will admit Xu Gui as a father. I said, eldest brother, it’s a shame that you irritated mom for this child last time. It’s really not worth it.”
Xu Jiansheng gritted his teeth fiercely and stood up fiercely, “I will go back and clean up this bastard.”
“Oh, what use is it for you to go back? She’s not our family anymore.” Li Jing hurriedly grabbed his arm with both hands. “You have to go to work in the afternoon. You have taken a leave this month. The others in the mine must have some opinions about you. Besides, this matter is not glorious, let the mine know, we will have no face to see people in the future.”
It’s not worth delaying half a day’s work for the two rascals.
It seems that Li Jing’s words have worked, Xu Jiansheng didn’t rush out, but his chest was ups and downs, which was obviously angry.
Liu Qiao winked at Xu Meizi, Xu Meizi immediately got up and poured a cup of hot water over, “Uncle, you can drink some water to calm down. Don’t get angry.”
Li Jing said, “Look, Meizi is more sensible and filial to you. It’s much better than that bastard. Those two don’t care about you, you also care about what they do, and Meizi won’t be unfilial to you in the future.”
“Uncle, I will definitely be filial to you and my aunt in the future.” Xu Meizi said obediently.
When Xu Hong saw this, she despised Xu Meizi in her heart, and her face was also concerned, “Uncle, we will be filial to you in the future. When I earn money, I will also buy you delicious food to help you strengthen your body.”
Zhang Cuiqin felt very uncomfortable listening to her daughter coaxing the eldest couple so much. Although she often said Xu Hong’s good things in front of Xu Jiansheng and his wife, she said that, knowing that what she said was false. Now that she heard the daughter say so, she only feel that the daughter is now kissing the eldest couple, and she put her mother aside.
But at this time she didn’t have a good face, so she could only help Xu Hong and said, “Our eldest girl is also sensible. Isn’t the niece the same as the daughters? Just leave those two girls alone.”
After drinking some hot water and being persuaded by others, Xu Jiansheng finally felt a little smooth, but he still felt that he should panic. His daughter, an adult daughter, what a thing.
He felt that if Xu Nannan was in front of him now, he could kick this girl to death.
“Old Xu, things are all at this level, and we can’t manage it. Now that the registered permanent residence is moved away, can we move back? By then, the township leaders will have ideas. I think we are playing for fun. I think forget it, don’t go back to worry about this. Let Cuiqin and Liu tell mom and dad, that we don’t care about this matter and don’t blame them. This is all because the girls are not sensible.” said Li Jing still bitter at the side.
Anyway, she never gave birth to these two girls.
Xu Jiansheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, “No matter what, I don’t care. Whatever they like, let them not come back and beg me for being a dad.”
But it’s not that he doesn’t recognize the girl, it’s that the girl doesn’t recognize his dad.
Xu Jiansheng’s heart became more and more panicked and hurt.
It is rare to enter the city once, and Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao are not in a hurry to go back. They plan to stay here for one night. Li Jing was unhappy, but it was not easy to drive people away this time.
Seeing the two sending the children to school, she couldn’t mention too much.
Seeing Xu Ling playing in the yard, she walked over and twisted Xu Ling’s ears, “I know how to play all day long. I don’t know how to help me with work.”
Xu Ling wiped her tears in pain.
Li Jing was upset, “Why other people’s children are so smart and filial, while all these things I gave birth to are not.”
Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao are both interesting not to go together. The two of them took their children, far away from each other.
Xu Meizi looked at Zhang Cuiqin and the others away, and asked, “Mom, Erya, did they really leave home this time?”
Liu Qiao smiled, “Even if it’s not true, your grandma will make it true. They let the old Xu family lose such a big face this time, your grandma won’t let them go home.”
Hearing this, Xu Meizi was relieved. “Mom, you said that when the auntie’s account is moved, can we have a way to do it?” This is her most worried question.
“I haven’t asked you yet, what’s the matter with your auntie’s account? When will there be a quasi-trust fund? Is there a chance you and Longlong be a Quasi-trustee?”
TL Note: Quasi-trustee – In law, a person who reaps a benefit from a breach of trust, and so becomes answerable as a trustee.
“The problem is on the uncle’s side. There were places in the factory before, but the uncle saw that they were difficult, so he didn’t compete with them and missed the opportunity. The aunt seemed to have a relationship this time, and she also spent some money. Let people help with this.”
“Your auntie still has money to do errands?” Liu Qiao couldn’t help looking a little. The eldest family’s money has been taken off by the two elders in their hometown over the years. I have to raise children in the city, so I still have more money.
Xu Meizi said, “Not much, all this gift was spent. The uncle didn’t know about it yet, even the eldest sister Honghong didn’t know about it. I discovered it secretly. Recently, seeing the older aunt is in a good mood, I think this thing is pretty eye-catching.”
Liu Qiao had a feeling in her heart, and touched her daughter’s head appreciatively, “Sanya, this is the way to do it. Usually, I am more discerning. Show it in front of your uncle and auntie. And don’t lose your grades. I know. There are a lot of male classmates in the school, but you are still young so don’t have any ideas. You will come to the city with your registered permanent residence in the future, and you will take the exam for college. You can choose the best subjects. Don’t be too distracted. “
“Mom, look at what you said, I didn’t think about that. It’s the big girl Honghong, she likes to talk to those male classmates. I have seen it several times.”
Liu Qiao laughed, “This is someone’s business, we don’t care about it.”
On the other side, Zhang Cuiqin was also nagging a lot with Xu Hong, but she was talking in the opposite direction to Liu Qiao.
She thinks that reading is second, and finding a good husband is the most important.
Don’t talk about anything else, just look at Li Jing. In the old society, Li Jing was just a maid waiting on people. After marrying, she came to the city instead. This is when flying on a branch to become a phoenix.
Xu Hong was nagged a little bit, she was bored, “Mom, do you still need to teach this matter? I have an idea. Don’t worry.” She was thinking about this when she was in junior high school, but she is not in a hurry. Slowly. Pick slowly. If you can’t choose the right one in junior high school, go to high school. Anyway, we must pick the best one.
Zhang Cuiqin was extremely satisfied. Among the girls at home, her own girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes looks the best, and she is blessed at first glance, and she will definitely be the best to marry in the future. At that time, I can follow and enjoy the blessing.
After seeing the children, they also told them. After living in the city for a night, Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao finally returned to the village contentedly.
Song Guihua has been paying attention to these two people. After seeing the two come back, the old Xu family did not move at all, and did not see Xu Jiansheng and his wife coming back, and the big stone in my heart fell.
She told Xu Nannan about this, Xu Nannan also smiled lightly, not at all relieved. Xu Jiansheng’s attitude clearly shows that he has completely given up on his daughter. This is exactly what she wants.
There was no more movement in the old Xu family, and the matter slowly calmed down.
The villagers seemed to have begun to accept the fact that the two sisters Xu Nannan left the old Xu family, and they no longer talked about it as a topic.
Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman have become more comfortable living in the mountains. In the morning, Xu Nannan went to mow the pig grass, Xu Xiaoman wrote at home, and when Xu Nannan came back, the two would feed the pigs together.
Sometimes when looking at these fat pigs, Xu Nannan wonders how much pork she can divide by the end of the year. Not bad at all, this is pure natural pork.
She admitted that after the day was peaceful, her heart became dissatisfied again. I want to live in a good house, I want to eat good food. There are also beautiful clothes.
When can we just eat good food and dress good-looking? Otherwise, she would go to the city in the past two days to get some delicious food for a fight.
“Uncle He!”
Xu Nannan was wandering around Taobao when he heard Xu Xiaoman’s surprise
Part 2
She immediately regained consciousness and saw He Qiusheng coming with a burden.
“Uncle He, are you getting better?” Xu Nannan looked at He Qiusheng in surprise.
In fact, since moving out, she has also sent a bowl of porridge to He Qiusheng every night, but every time she didn’t talk to He Qiusheng, she left as soon as it was sent, because it was night, she really didn’t see that He Qiusheng was recovering. How’s it going?
He Qiusheng is obviously thinner, his cheekbones are protruding, and his eye sockets are a little bit sunken. But people are much more energetic than when he is sick.
“Well, no matter how bad it is, I can’t lie down on the bed anymore.” He Qiusheng smiled.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, Xu Nannan felt that He Qiusheng seemed a little different, he seemed…become relaxed. When He Qiusheng talked to her in the past, it seemed like he was worried about something, not like chatting.
He Qiusheng started to work, and the stench in the pigpen became strong again.
“Quickly go away, you will be smoked later.”
Xu Xiaoman hurried back to the house, and then took out something that looked like a mask.
“Uncle He, wear this and it won’t smell anymore.”
He Qiusheng took it and put it on, smiled at the two children, “It’s really useful.” Then he began to shovel pig dung. Shovel the pig manure into a pile. He came out and took off his mask and exhaled.
Now this wooden house is the home of Xu Nannan, he didn’t go in, and found a place to sit at the door.
“Is there any water?” He took out his cup.
Xu Nannan went into the house and poured him a cup of cold water. He Qiusheng took a big sip and took a sigh of relief. “Your sisters are very neat. How long hasn’t I been out now? You have done a few important things.”
Xu Nannan naturally knew that he was talking about moving house and household registration.
“I’m not neat. I should have come out long ago.”
“Just come out and guard this wooden house and guard this farm?” He Qiusheng looked at her and said with some disapproval in his eyes. “You are still so young, Xiaoman is still so young. Just guard this place for a lifetime?”
