Chapter 6

Lu Yuanzheng lightly reprimanded, “Dongsheng!”

However, it was too late, Xu Wen had already heard it

His entire body felt like it had been struck by lightning, shaking his hands and pointing at Dongsheng, he asked Xu Wen, “What did he just call you?”

Xu Wen looked innocent and whispered, “Brother, he said he was bothering me, do you believe him?”

Xu Wen directly laughed in anger, “Xu Man, you’re good!” Turning his face, he pointed at Lu Yuanzheng, “My sister only celebrated her 19th birthday yesterday, how dare you trick her into being a stepmother to a son as old as you? Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

Having a mouthful of words

Xu Man still wanted to open his mouth, but Xu Wen directly waved his hand to stop it, “Don’t you say anything”

Xu Man: “”

See the second brother at this moment in the anger, what he said is useless will also add fuel to the fire to play a counterproductive then rested the persuasion of the mind He smiled apologetically at Lu Yuanzheng and pulled Dongsheng to the side

Xu Wen squatted beside the mugwort leaves and gave Dongsheng one of the pheasants, “Eat it quickly! It’ll get fishy when it cools down in a while”

Dongsheng took the pheasant and passed it to Xu Man’s mouth first, “Ma Ma, eat!”

Xu Wen: “”

She saw Xu Wen’s face contort and silently moved down to block Dongsheng behind her

Xu Wen closed her eyes and took a deep breath

Lu Yuanzheng silently pulled out a pack of cigarettes, popped one out, and handed it to Xu Wen: “Brother, want to smoke first?”

Xu Wen was completely enraged, “Who is your brother! I’m telling you, there’s no way my sister will marry you, so just die!”

Lu Yuanzheng subconsciously retorted, “I didn’t think about marrying your sister”

Yesterday, he had taken advantage of Xu Man, so it was logical that he should be responsible to the end

But he is a big man with a child, marrying someone else is not called being responsible for it is a scourge of other girls

Xu Wen even more angry, began to roll up his sleeves again: “What? You do not want to marry her? Then you want to play ask feelings? I’ll beat you to death, asshole!”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

Open-mouthed

How can you still not explain it clearly?

Then let’s have a fight first!

Xu Wen watched for a while, and immediately felt that the field chicken in his mouth didn’t smell good anymore, and was a bit worried about his second brother

Xu Wen’s fighting style was that of an ordinary person, swinging his fists and kicking his legs haphazardly, without any rules

Lu Yuanzheng is obviously systematically trained, does not move is already, once moved, dead hold Xu Wen

Xu Wen was probably confused and didn’t realize it As a bystander, she could see clearly that if she really wanted to fight, her second brother was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get through a single move in the hands of Lu Yuanzheng

It was a good thing that Lu Yuanzheng had been letting Xu Wen go

Dongsheng saw that Xu Wen only watched the fight and didn’t eat the field fowl, standing on her tiptoes and pushing her elbow to send it to her mouth, “Ma Ma eat! Daddy doesn’t fight the people”

Xu Wen heard a bite of the chicken, squatted beside Dongsheng and asked him, “What does your father do?”

Did not wait for Dongsheng to answer, Xu Wen withdrew his hand: “Do not fight!”

Lu Yuanzheng has been letting him, not letting him hit the knot, and do not return the favor, hit still what strength?

He caught his breath and began to interrogate Lu Yuanzheng

“Name?”

“Lu Yuanzheng”

“How old are you?”

“Twenty-five”

“Where’s your home”

“From the Lu Family Production Brigade”

“How many people are in your family?”

Lu Yuanzheng was silent for a while before speaking, “Just the two of us”

Xu Wen and Xu Wen were both stunned

Xu Wen’s anger dissipated for a few moments, “What about the family?”

“They all passed away for some reason”

Xu Wen fell silent and apologized, “I’m sorry”

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head

Xu Wen hesitated, but continued to speak, “Is there a room in the house?”

“A few old houses”

Xu Wen listened, thinking that Lu Yuanzheng, except for having a child, was quite in line with Xu Wen’s requirements

He nodded reluctantly, “Barely enough If you really want to be careful, don’t always do these sneaky things! Tomorrow find a matchmaker to come to my home to talk about marriage Although you bring a child, but my parents are more enlightened, your attitude is better, should be able to accept you”

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

I don’t even know what your sister’s name is!

Besides, you have to marry just for touching your waist? You don’t even mind if you have kids?

Okay! For the girl, it’s really degrading to her innocence, so he should be responsible

Xu Wen saw Lu Yuanzheng’s stagnant face, thought he was happy and stupid, and hummed, “Don’t think it’s so easy to marry my sister The whole commune has a lot of young people who come to my house to ask for my hand in marriage! In addition to being taller, you have no advantage at all”

Little Dongsheng didn’t understand, so he asked, “Ma Ma, what does marriage proposal mean?”

Xu Man looked up at the sky, opened his hands and covered his face, not wanting to say a word

Until Xu Man was blown home by his second brother, he didn’t have a chance to explain this clearly

After Wang Lei’s mother, other young men in the commune got the news and came to Liu Xiu’e for marriage

Liu Xiu’e was so happy that she ran to Xu’s house three times a day, which was a great effort

The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her

After all, who came to her matchmaking can not be empty-handed, these days the family’s brown sugar treats piled up on the bed

If it were any other family, they would have found a good family with a high bride price and married Xu Man off

This way, the bride price Xu Man receives can build another house for Xu Wen, the best of both worlds

In the countryside, this is a normal thing, take the bride price money for the daughter of the son to marry a daughter-in-law thing abound

But the Xu family treats Xu Wen as their favorite, even if they marry their daughter, Xu Wen’s happiness comes first

It’s just that the Xu family said they didn’t ask for much at first, and every time she came, the bar was raised a notch higher

The first time she came to the door was in the morning before she left for work, and Xu Man happened not to be at home

“Ask your mother, do you know the Li family from the 17th household brigade? There’s a young man in his family who’s about the same age as Xu Man at 22, and his family has a five-room house The family has five rooms If we ask him to marry there, the two of us will be able to live in two rooms alone”

Xu Qiusi spoke first: “Then can I continue to go to school if I marry there?”

Liu Xiu’e was stunned, she had asked the family carefully before she came here, but she really hadn’t asked this question

“Then I’ll go back and ask again”

Xu Qiushi nodded, “Can’t let ask about schooling don’t”

The Li family didn’t accept the fact that Xu Wen continued to go to school after getting married, the idea was similar to Wang Lei’s mother

The idea is similar to Wang Lei’s mother It’s useless to go to high school, you can’t go to college, you can’t get a job, and you can’t go to work

Besides, they have become a family, not to serve the in-laws and children, but also to go out to study like what?

Liu Xiu’e came to the Xu family again, and changed a family to say and: “Ask the father, ask the mother, this time this is a double Yang brigade, the young man is 24 years old, he is a junior high school graduate The family has some money and is willing to pay for another half year of study, but ask can not be delayed because of the study of pregnancy and childbirth The family is in a hurry to have a newborn Do you think it’s a good idea?”

Zhu Meizhen did not even think to shake his head: “anxious to have a child, but also must have a boy people do not want”

Liu Xiu’e: “”

“Why don’t you make the requirements more specific?” Save her a trip to run, actually do useless

Sang Xiaoqing said, “Married let ask to serve the old and young, around the pots and pans do not”

Her little aunt will not cook

Can not say will not, just do not know the heartache of oil, frying a meal put enough oil for a family to eat half a month

In the Xu family Zhu Meizhen do not let Xu ask close to the stove

Married out of the family can not be so spoiled Xu Man, to be angry for this she will feel guilty

Sang Xiaoqing always feel that Xu Man is in a hurry to get married because of himself, these days see Xu Man feel hot hot face some can’t lift their heads, to Xu Man married less than desired, she has to blame herself for a lifetime

At that time, in case Xu Wen and in-laws anger and hate her how to do? Then she will also have a hard time

Xu Wen thought for a moment and said hatefully, “I can’t beat the don’t”

The family all looked at him strangely

The corner of Sang Xiaoqing’s mouth twitched, “What are you doing beating up your brother-in-law for nothing?”

Xu Wen: “”

Changed: “A belly full of flowery thoughts, oily mouth and improperly dry don’t”

Xu Che raised his hand, “Don’t be too ugly! My sister is so pretty”

Grandma added: “Don’t want those whose family relationships are too complicated”

Liu Xiu’e: “”

What about the promise of not being too demanding?

That’s how most of the young men of age in the commune were turned away without even meeting Xu Wen

As for the bride price? The Xu family didn’t even mention a word

The first young man to break through and enter the retest was named Wen Yiming

That night after work, Liu Xiu’e came to the Xu family with confidence, and it just so happened that Xu Wen was also there

“Let me tell you, this Wen Yiming is really a rare and good young man Just like you, he is also a high school student His parents are both workers in our commune who eat commercial food, and it is said that his father is also an official His family is in a very good position They’re willing to send him to school Of course they are not in a hurry to have children Their family lives in a building, two rooms and a hall, the winter that the heating can give enough! There is also a separate bathroom to take a bath ”

The Xu family are interested in hearing

Xu Wen asked Xu Man: “You a school, do you know?”

Xu Wen shook her head blankly, “I don’t know”

There are more than ninety people in the same grade, and she can’t know them all

Liu Xiu’e rounded off, “It’s normal that you don’t know, I heard that he is one level shorter than you, this year’s first year of high school”

Zhu Meizhen asked suspiciously, “One level shorter than ask? How old is it?”

“21”

Then this must be examined a few years to get in? Zhu Meizhen muttered in her heart

However, so far this Wen Yiming is really the best one

Xu Qiushi, who had just finished rolling his tobacco, clapped his hands, “Then let them young people meet first”

Xu Wen’s first blind date in two lifetimes was set for two days later

On that night, it was the turn of the Taoyuan brigade to show a movie

The Xu family discussed the idea of meeting Wen Yiming first, and if he was still available, let him go to the movies with Xu Man

Weizhuang Commune will show movies every summer, usually from the beginning of the wheat harvest, until the end of the fall harvest

The movie is the commune to pay people to production brigade movie, a village by village

The commune was so big that when it was the turn of the production brigade to show a movie, people from other brigades would come over to watch it

After all, there’s not much else to do

Wen Yiming was led to the door by Liu Xiu’e, carrying a lot of hand-me-downs

He’s not short, looks handsome, wears a pair of glasses, and is quite white

Wen Yiming pushed his glasses and coyly called out to Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen, “Uncle! Auntie!”

Zhu Meizhen looked more and more satisfied, warmly greeted him: “Comrade Wen, have you eaten? Sit down and eat together?”

Wen Yiming said, “Auntie, just call me Yiming I have eaten, you eat”

Xu Man lowered his head to pick up his food, thinking that there were only so many people in the high school, so even if he couldn’t name them, he wouldn’t look completely unfamiliar, right?

Not to mention that this Wen Yiming didn’t look that low-key

How could she have no impression?

The Xu family asked Wen Yiming a few questions, and he answered them all

The seven members of the family’s favorability towards him skyrocketed

Zhu Meizhen elbowed Xu Wen, “Why have you become a saw-mouth gourd today? Not a word?”

Xu Man looked at Zhu Meizhen grudgingly

Did you guys leave me a chance to interrupt?

If Wen Yiming wasn’t the one being interrogated, he wouldn’t have been able to interject

Xu Man’s eyes could speak, especially when she was trying to express something, the person being looked at would definitely be able to tell what she was trying to say

Zhu Meizhen coughed lightly, “Alright, you’ve almost eaten go watch a movie with Yiming!”

Xu Wen looked back at the wall clock, there was still an hour before the movie!

Seeing Zhu Meizhen glaring at her, she could only nod, put down her chopsticks and stood up to greet Wen Yiming, “Let’s go!”

There was a distance from Xu’s house to the brigade headquarters

It was Xu Man’s first time on a blind date, he was nervous and a little embarrassed, walking with his head down, not knowing what to say

Wen Yiming also seemed to be shy and said very little

The two of them were silent and walked with their heads down

Xu Man never knew that the road from his home to the brigade headquarters was so far

By the time Xu Man and Wen Yiming arrived at the brigade headquarters with a matzah each, the sky was still dark, and the projectionist had only just set up the curtain and projector

But the courtyard was already densely packed with people waiting to see the movie

The two of them found a corner

Xu Man had just sat down when he heard a familiar voice from behind him, “Ma Ma! You also come wide dry endure ah”
