Chapter 380: The House Troubler in the 1970s (11)
In the other side, Qian’s wife came out to collect water from the well and wash the dishes. When she saw two dung buckets at the door of her courtyard, she couldn’t help but feel pain in her heart.
Damn it! Two buckets of manure were just thrown away by the brat Huo Huo.
Fortunately, the bucket was cleaned, otherwise I would be even more angry and would really want to fall on the brat’s head.
“I don’t know who gave birth to a son without an asshole, and took advantage of our family without saying a word. If I find out, huh…”
Xu Laosan suddenly sneezed in the middle of his sleep, which woke Chen Huilan up. She was so angry that she kicked him in the waist, and then continued to sleep.
Xu Yin woke up early when the work whistle blew, and she cooked a pot of mung bean soup.
She found that the couple didn't know much about what they had to eat at home, because Xu Sang had organized and arranged them before.
The couple were lazy. Apart from cooking when they were hungry, they didn’t even look through the cupboards seriously.
She pretended to find a pack of mung beans from the bottom of the cupboard, put a little rock sugar in it, and cooked a pot of mung bean soup with a slight sweetness.
Pour it into a small aluminum pot, put some ice cubes, and hang it in the well.
“Dad, Mom, it’s time to go to work.”
Xu Laosan actually didn’t want to get up.
“Daughter, let me sleep a little longer. It’s too early to get up today and I’m so tired this morning…”
Chen Huilan couldn't open her eyes either: "Yin Yin, why don't we go later..."
“I took the mung bean soup to the field for others to drink? It happened that Chen Lei helped me in the morning, so I took it to thank them.”
“What? Mung bean soup?”
Xu Laosan and his wife got up quickly when they heard that there was mung bean soup to drink.
Iced mung bean soup, drink it in your mouth, and squint your eyes happily.
“The well water is really cold today!”
“It’s still sweet, did you add sugar?”
“Well, grandma secretly stuffed me with some rock candy.”
“It tastes so good!”
Xu Yin nodded expressionlessly: "It tastes good. Finish it and go to work!"
…”
They all got up together, thinking about filters and new clothes, and the couple gritted their teeth and just went!
Xu Laosan worriedly warned his daughter: "Don't give it to that boy Chen Lei. What are you doing to give him an advantage! He chose to pick our family's excrement because he lost to you. Otherwise, why don't you let him pick? He wouldn't know how to pick if you beat him to death." .”
"Okay, okay." Xu Yin responded, "I won't give you a drink. You two will take it to the soybean field and drink it during your break."
That’s pretty much it!
Xu Laosan was satisfied, carrying a small bench and a small aluminum pot, and went to the soybean field to pull weeds with his wife.
The woman who was pulling weeds with them asked: "Hey, Third Brother, why did you bring a pot here today? What is it for? Is it herbal tea?"
"What herbal tea, mung bean soup! My daughter cooked it for us to drink when we are thirsty."
Chen Huilan nodded in agreement: "So it's better to be a daughter. If it were a son, he would definitely take care of himself and not think of cooking mung bean soup for us to drink."
…”
Which of these people has no sons? Hearing this, I wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason.
Not to mention, as Chen Huilan said, the brat threw away his rice bowl and went to take a nap. He never thought of helping the family make some herbal tea or mung bean soup.
Suddenly, I felt as if I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. In the past, I always laughed at Xu Laosan and his wife, joking that they could not give birth to a son. Now think about it, apart from carrying on the family line, what is better about a son than a daughter?
However, when I thought about it, just passing on the family line seemed to be enough for them to feel proud.
Xu Laosan’s eyes were as wide as copper bells: “Which law stipulates that girls must get married? Our family will not marry Yin Yin! When the time comes, we will recruit a son-in-law! Just like Xu Laosan, I will continue the family line!”
…”
Everyone was shocked.
What?
Recruiting a son-in-law?
Hearing these words, Chen Huilan wanted to pinch him: "What are you talking about!"
The more Xu Laosan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. Why didn't he think of recruiting a son-in-law before?
"Of course, you have to be a good person! Be obedient to Yin Yin, otherwise I won't even come to visit you."
…”Is this thing real?
…
Xu Yin didn’t know that her lazy father could pull out a piece of grass, which shocked all the villagers in the brigade.
She immersed herself in plowing two ridges of land and planned to go to the river to have a look. She saw a few young men from Chen Lei running over to her and bared their teeth:
“Xu Yin, I heard that your father is looking for a son-in-law for you?”
“Xu Yin, what kind of son-in-law are you looking for?”
“Why are you asking this? Do you want to be the son-in-law of the Xu family?”
"No, no, I'll just ask. If I dare to come to the door, my mother will have my legs broken."
Xu Yin learned about the good deeds done by the cheap dad from their conversation.
However, if you think about it carefully, this is not entirely a bad thing.
She has no plans to get married at the moment.
At the age of sixteen, he was almost old enough to talk about marriage in the countryside. Many girls get engaged when they are sixteen or seventeen and get married when they are eighteen or nineteen.
Especially considering how strong she is and how good she is at farm work, in this era where work scores are more important than appearance, there will definitely be many people coming to propose marriage.
Think about her eldest sister, who was chosen by a family in the next-door brigade because of her ability. She asked a matchmaker to come over with cigarettes and alcohol to propose marriage, and was immediately agreed to marry by her cheap father who was greedy for alcohol and cigarettes.
She doesn’t want such a blind marriage, and she has to give her own consent if she wants to get married.
So, following her father’s words, she said:
"That's right, I don't plan to get married. My father said that I want to recruit a son-in-law, so let's do it, but I have to nod myself. I don't have high requirements. This person must first be nice to me and listen to me. If I say it, he can't Secondly, if I ask him to go east, he will not dare to go west. If I ask him to chase the dog, he will not be able to chase the rooster... In short, he must be completely obedient to me.
Secondly, people cannot be too ugly. I'm not bad looking, right? If that man becomes ugly, people will think that I am seeking his money. In order to prove that I'm after him as a person and not money, his appearance can't be too outdated. At least he has to allow me to eat and sleep with his face... Well, that's it for now. "
…”
At first, everyone just came to make fun of her, but they were shocked by her "bold words".
Ni Ma, do you think this is not too demanding?
Why you say one and he can't say two? Does it mean that if you do the first grade of junior high school, he can't do the fifteenth grade?
Why should I be obedient to you and not disobey, Ni Ma, you are marrying a man...cough cough cough, wrong, wrong, are you marrying a man or looking for a servant? Is there such a request from a man?
How many young people here can do it?
And what else should you not be too skinny, otherwise it will affect your ability to eat and sleep...
Is this **** picking a man? Is it the food or the bed you are choosing?
Who is the man who, when sitting together to eat together, would look up to take a bite of food, and then look again to take another bite of food? Do you think it's bacon hanging on the beam?
You might get slapped on the back of your hand with chopsticks by your parents if you look at that bacon so much, because they think you are looking at the rest of the family too much.
Speaking of which, which category do we people belong to? Is it to be careless or careless, or to be able to eat and sleep?
