Chapter 406: House Ruiner in the 1970s (37) (Third update, please vote for me!)
Yesterday, quite a few men carrying dirt saw Xu Yin carrying a grown man to the health center in a hurry, but because they were far away, they couldn't see who it was.
Although I was curious, after all, I had been working for a day. The reservoirs and canals were being dredged recently, and all the strong laborers were forced to dig and carry mud. I was very tired at the end of the day. When I got home, I only cared about eating and resting, and I didn't remember gossip.
The women were either fertilizing the cornfield where the branches blocked their eyes, or catching insects in the cotton field on the other side. No one saw that scene.
Hence this gossip news did not spread until the next day through the mouths of Xu Laosan and his wife.
"Oh my god! Third child, are you telling the truth? Your family has found a son-in-law? Who is it? Is he from our brigade?"
"I told you how I saw Yin Yin running to the brigade headquarters yesterday carrying a big man on her back. Was it that man?"
“Oh! It’s no wonder that your face is so red today, third child, and your lover’s son-in-law is here! Where does he come from? You need to find out clearly about your family background, so that your family members won’t come after you and regret it.”
Xu Laosan hasn't asked about the situation at his son-in-law's family yet, but since the second daughter-in-law said that there is no problem with the marriage, then it must be OK. He just believed in his second daughter so firmly.
"He's not an outsider. Everyone knows him. He's Xu Zhiqing, who teaches at the brigade primary school. Yesterday, he went up a mountain and his feet were sprained, he had a fracture and a fever. My family, Yin Yin, wanted to save people, so they carried him without caring about the gender. He went to the health center. It turned out that this young man was very upright and felt that he was taking advantage of my family Yin Yin, so he insisted on giving his life to her, even if my family only hired a son-in-law for Yin Yin, he would be willing to do so."
Everyone was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and it took a long time before they came to their senses:
"What? Xu Zhiqing? Is it the Xu Zhiqing and Teacher Xu that I know?"
"No way? Xu Zhiqing is so good-looking, it's not easy to find a partner? How can he be willing to step in?"
Everyone couldn’t believe it.
A commune member who was good friends with Xu Laosan pulled him and asked in a low voice: "Lao San, please tell the truth. Did you force Xu Zhiqing to come to the house?"
Xu Laosan rolled his eyes: "Am I that kind of person?"
Everyone said: This is hard to say! Xu Zhiqing is good-looking. Your second daughter has said before that she likes good-looking people. Who knows if you have used the gift of saving lives to force others.
“You really didn’t force me?”
"No!" Xu Laosan said impatiently to them, "If you don't believe it, just go to my house after work and ask. He is recuperating at my house!"
When Xu Yin went to work in the morning, the production team leader of the Hefa task told her to go a little later after breakfast.
Anyway, she is very efficient. Even at ninety o'clock, she can definitely complete the morning work.
Then I went to the brigade headquarters, borrowed a carpenter's plane, came back, and made a pair of crutches after breakfast.
Xu Chengjin took the crutches and expressed disbelief: "You will still do this?"
“Is it difficult?”
Isn’t it just a secondary crutch? If he needs it, she can even make a wheelchair. Just ask him if he wants to sit down?
Xu Chengjin glanced at her and thought she was just strong, energetic and energetic in whatever she did, but he didn't expect she could also do carpentry. I feel like I've found a treasure.
A smile as bright as a shooting star burst out of his eyes: "My wife is so capable!"
…”
Have you adapted to the role so quickly?
After Xu Yin gave him the crutches, she led him to familiarize himself with the layout of the home, mainly the location of the toilet.
“My father will ask the captain to ask for leave for you, so you can rest in peace and recuperate. Be careful not to get injured again when walking around. I will come back early to cook at noon. If you are hungry, eat some biscuits to cushion your stomach.”
As Xu Yin said, she cooled a pot of water for him, took out a pack of Xu Lan's favorite Dieffenbachia biscuits, and placed them within his reach.
“I’m going to work!”
After giving instructions, Xu Yin waved her hand and went out.
Xu Chengjin watched her retreating back, feeling a little warm in his heart.
The playful smiling eyes gradually turned serious.
"Teacher Xu!" At noon, Xu Lan came home from school and helped Xu Chengjin bring back a small baggage, which contained some of his personal belongings from the educated youth station.
“Teacher Wang helped me sort it out. Check to see if it’s all in order. If there’s anything missing, I’ll pick it up for you after school in the afternoon.”
“Everything is here, thank you Lanlan.”
"Hey! You're welcome! Teacher Xu, are you really my second brother-in-law from now on?"
Xu Chengjin looked at her and smiled, giving her an affirmative reply: "Yes."
“That’s great!” Xu Lan jumped up happily, “Chunni and Meihua still don’t believe it, I’ll tell them in the afternoon, you have to believe it even if you don’t believe it! Hehe!”
“So, Xu Zhiqing really wants to be the son-in-law?”
At this time, the commune members who had finished their work for a long time and went home for lunch followed Xu Laosan to check on his family spirit. They heard Xu Lan's cheers and were extremely surprised.
"Xu Zhiqing, are you really voluntary? Didn't Lao San and his family force you?"
“I told you that no one forced him!” Xu Laosan jumped angrily, “I’ve been talking all morning, but why don’t you believe it? Son-in-law, tell them, did my family force you?”
Xu Chengjin raised his eyebrows: "I am a normal man. I will marry anyone or not, come to my door or not. Who can force me?"
When Xu Laosan heard the words, he raised his chin and glanced at everyone: "Do you hear it clearly? Do you hear it clearly with your ears?"
Everyone: “…”
I heard it clearly, but it’s still hard to believe it!
“It’s time to eat!” Chen Huilan came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
"Let's go, let's go home and eat. Don't block the door of my house." Xu Laosan asked everyone, "What's going on? You still want to stay and have a meal before leaving? That's not possible! With this extra food, Why don’t I feed my son-in-law enough?”
Everyone was driven away by Xu Laosan: "..." Who the **** wants to eat your food?
“Son-in-law, eat more!”
Xu Laosan was happy today. When he returned to his room, he took out the precious bottle of wine that Xu Yin gave him.
I wanted to pour a cup for Xu Chengjin, but Xu Yin stopped me.
“Dad, did you forget that his foot was injured? He can’t drink.”
“My foot is injured and my mouth is not injured, so why can’t I drink wine?” Xu Laosan muttered.
I couldn't help but feel pity for my son-in-law, and gave Xu Chengjin a "sympathetic" look: It seems that the second daughter will be a housekeeper in the future, and my son-in-law has been eaten to death by her before she officially came to the door.
Xu Chengjin was puzzled by this look from his future father-in-law.
Xu Yin knew very well that her father was probably criticizing her for being too meddlesome, and she couldn't help but laugh or cry.
He explained: "You just took antipyretic medicine yesterday. It's best not to drink alcohol in the past two days. If you really want to drink, wait until tomorrow."
Xu Chengjin raised his eyes and glanced at her, then took the rice bowl she handed over with both hands: "Thank you! I don't drink."
“Son-in-law, you don’t drink? That’s a pity! The bottle of wine Yinyin bought is very spicy and fragrant!”
“If you like to drink it, I will buy it for you in the future.”
Hearing what he said, Xu Laosan was so happy that he couldn't help but look at it: Look! He said that the son-in-law who came to visit was better than his son! My son married a daughter-in-law, so how could he remember to buy wine for his father? I don’t believe it compared to those who have sons.
So, when he went to work in the afternoon, he was more active than anyone else. He was the first to arrive at the field, and when he caught people, he asked:
"Lao Wu, did your Tie Qiang buy you a drink? No? Why is he so unfilial! My son-in-law even said that he will keep all my drinks from now on!"
"Tie Zhu, how many bottles of wine have your four sons bought for you in total? Not even one? Oh my! This child is not a son, but four pieces of barbecued pork! How unfilial!"
"Li Datou, where is your son? I heard that his wife goes to her parents' house every three days to bring things. What did she buy for you two? What didn't she buy? Then why don't you ask him for it! You have money to buy things for your mother-in-law, but you have no money. Buying it for my parents? It’s really a waste of money! My son-in-law is different. Before he officially came to the door, he said he wanted to buy wine for me and fabrics for the children and his mother..."
All afternoon, everyone heard Xu Laosan’s loud voice, feeling sad and itching, and no one wanted to put a sack on him.
