Yang Xiu Xiu's two eldest uncles still had objections to the old man's separation of families and his preference for the third family. They were dissatisfied, but they did not say it out. After all, their younger brother was gone. What they wanted to say would be tantamount to bullying other people's orphans and widowed mothers.

But their wives don't care about this anymore. Behind their backs, they always say that the old man is partial and has given all the good things to the third son's family. This man is afraid of being blown away by others. He does it once or twice. If it happens too often, they will remember it.

In my heart.

Yang Xinxiu came to them to repair the house. After hearing this, they felt a little gloating in their hearts. Look, I gave you a good house, but the house is still in ruins. If you want me to help you repair the house, how can I have the time?

If you are too busy with all the work, you should come up with a solution on your own.

Yang Xiu Xiu was heartbroken. Apart from her children, she couldn't even find any reason to stay in this house. Yang Xiu Xiu cried all the way until she reached the grave of the head of the family, where she lay on the man's grave and cried bitterly for a while.

Yang Xinxiu cried and cursed, "You blind man, when you were alive, everything was your parents, everything was your two brothers. Look at how they treat your wife and children now. My life

Why is it so miserable? If you have the ability, take us orphans and widows away too, so that we don’t have to suffer in this world."

He cried all morning, and the wailing could be heard from far away. When it was time to make lunch, Yang Xiuxiu held back his tears and walked home with choked sobs.

After an unbridled venting, Yang Xinxiu's heart became much clearer. When she was passing by Liyun's house, she happened to see Cheng Liyun and her mother sitting next to each other, chatting affectionately and picking vegetables.

They were all from the same village, and Yang Xiuxiu knew Cheng Liyun quite well. She knew that this man liked to be a matchmaker, and immediately her heart moved and she walked into the courtyard of the Cheng family.

After crying all morning, Yang Xinxiu's voice had long been hoarse. Every time he said a word, his throat hurt a lot, "Auntie, Sister Liyun is back." The pain in his throat made Yang Xinxiu's mouth twitch.

Due to fatigue, Yang Xinxiu's face looked much older than his actual age, his hair was as dry as hay, his face was haggard, and his eyes had no sparkle at all.

Mrs. Cheng opened her toothless mouth and greeted Yang Xinxiu with a smile, "Xinxiu, come and sit down."

Cheng Liyun smoothly pulled a bench from the side and put it beside her, patted the bench and said, "Rookie, come sit here, sister."

Mrs. Cheng was very sympathetic to Yang Xinxiu. Looking at her red eyes, she knew that she had cried again. The old lady kindly advised: "Xinxiu, be more open-minded when you encounter something. Look at the three children."

You also have to take care of your own body.

Now that Yang Xinxiu had someone to talk to, his tears couldn't stop falling, "Auntie, if you don't want to go away, what can you do? You can persuade yourself."

Yang Xiuxiu cried and told Mrs. Cheng and her daughter all the things he had encountered. At the end, he stretched out his calloused and cracked hands to show them, "Auntie, Sister Liyun, look at my

The hands don’t look like those of a thirty-year-old woman, and an eighty-year-old woman wouldn’t change them.”

Cheng Liyun held Yang Xiu Xiu's hand and rubbed it over and over again. She sighed, "Sister, what kind of life are you living? If you ask me, please stop guarding me. If there is a suitable person here, I will keep an eye on you."

, you’d better take a step forward, it’s better to find someone to help you than to suffer these consequences.”

Originally, Yang Xinxiu had already had this idea. Cheng Liyun's mention played into her hands, but she couldn't agree too happily. She lifted up her clothes and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Sister Liyun, seriously, why don't you take this step?"

I really don’t want to take this step. Now I have no choice. There is a big hole in the house. It looks like a funnel when it rains. There is no one in my husband’s family to help me. I also want to find someone to help me. If

If there is someone suitable, please introduce it to me."

"Okay, as long as you agree." Cheng Liyun patted Yang Xinxiu's hand, "A suitable sister will come back and tell you."

Ruimin was impatient with waiting, so Ruifu came back slowly on his tricycle.

At this time, the sun has sunk below the horizon, and the early rising crescent moon hangs on the horizon. Occasionally, a few small stars blink. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees sway slightly with the breeze.

Ruimin kept his ears open to listen to what was going on next door. When the door there clicked, Ruimin knew that the third brother had returned from closing the stall, so he put the bowl in his hand on the table, got up and walked out.

Because Ruifu needs to push his tricycle home every day, his door is relatively wide, and he can push the two doors open and ride the tricycle in easily.

When Ruimin came over, Ruifu didn't have time to get out of the car and close the door. Ruimin startled him by saying, "The third brother is back." When he turned around and saw it was Ruimin, he jumped out of the car in a hurry and said, "Hey, old man.

Four, when did you arrive?”

Ruimin was stunned. Although he could only see a shadowy figure, he could tell from the voice that it was his third brother.

"Just arrived next evening." Ruimin stood in the yard, looking at the moon, and began to look at Ruifu's house. It has two main rooms from north to south, and a kitchen is built on the west side. Because the foundation is limited, this place

The yard is not big, but living alone makes it seem a bit cleaner.

Ruifu stood beside his younger brother and asked proudly: "How is the house built?"

Ruimin could only see a general situation. He couldn't see clearly whether the building was good or bad, but everyone likes to hear good things. Ruimin spoke directly to Ruifu's heart, "But it's not bad. It's nice to look at."

, Third brother, if you have a house, it will be better if you marry a sister-in-law when you can."

"There's no rush." ​​Ruifu washed his hands and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook. "Fourth, have you eaten? I'll make you something delicious."

Ruimin smacked his lips, "I just had a bowl of mud at Liuzi's."

Ruifu: "Hey~ What can I say if I am confused? When I came back, I bought a pound of pork offal. I will prepare two dishes and we will drink two cups together."

Rui Quan collected the bowl and followed Ruimin to Ruifu's side. Hearing that there was meat, he hurriedly said: "Third brother, I want to eat meat too."

Ruifu looked through the things in the kitchen and replied: "Okay, you go put a plate of peanuts and fry them first, and I'll see what I can cook. If I had known that your fourth brother would be back today, I would have bought more things."

.”

"Okay." Rui Quan happily picked up a bowl and filled it with a bowl of raw peanuts. He opened the lid of the pot and looked at the stove. He said to himself that I can't do the job of frying peanuts while lighting the fire. Look.

Ruimin stood aside and shouted: "Fourth brother, come over and help me light the fire."

"Then there are still some misses?" Ruimin sat down directly at the stove, grabbed a handful of wheat straw to start the fire, and then filled in a few corn stalks, "Liuzi, why did your fifth brother go, and how did you get up to now?

I didn’t see him either.”

Rui Quan stir-fried the peanuts in the pot, "Fifth brother didn't do anything. Maybe he was still playing cards at the card game. He should be back in a while."

Ruimin frowned, "Lao Wu is still so addicted to playing cards?"

Rui Quan nodded, "Fifth brother likes to play cards. If you have nothing to do, just stay there."

When Shi Youtian was alive, someone was taking care of Rui Sheng, and he didn't dare to play cards so recklessly. Now it's better. His father is dead and his mother is not at home all year round. Now the family is in a semi-separated state, and no one is taking care of him. Rui Sheng

If you win, let yourself go and play as long as you want.

Soon, Rui Quan's peanuts were fried, and Rui Fu patted cucumbers, mixed them with minced garlic and vinegar, opened the small table, took out a bottle of Erguotou, poured three cups of wine, and the three brothers ate.

Got up.

Ruimin was still thinking about the young widow. After a glass of wine, he couldn't wait to ask about the matter, "Third brother, is the person you wrote about in your letter true?"

Ruifu swallowed the wine in his glass. It was so spicy that he quickly picked up a piece of pork liver and put it in his mouth. "Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would I write you a letter? The stamps cost nothing."

Rui Quan was not good at drinking. He only took a small sip of wine and kept picking up delicious food and chatting about it. Even though he kept talking, his ears were not idle either. He listened to all the conversations between the two brothers.

Here, he interrupted, "Third brother, fourth brother, what are you talking about?"

Ruifu: "Eat what you have, children have so much time to worry about."

Rui Quan was not convinced that he was a child, "Third brother, I'm already over 20 years old, how can I still be considered a child?"

Ruifu: "Your fourth brother and I are both over thirty. Why are you not a child in front of us?"

Ruimin came back unexpectedly today, and Rui Quan was quite puzzled at first. Looking at it this way, it turned out that something was indeed wrong. He muttered: "Then I'm not a child anymore. You can't hide something from me."

Ruifu pouted at Ruimin, "It's your fourth brother's fault."

Hearing that it was a good thing, Rui Quan became more energetic. He pulled the bench towards Ruimin, his face full of flattery, "Fourth brother, what good thing have you done? Tell me about it."

Ruimin said with a smile: "Listen to your third brother, how can it be considered a good thing if you haven't even written your horoscope yet?"

"What's going on?" Rui Quan was no longer interested in eating, and kept asking his two brothers while staring at them.

After whetting Rui Quan's appetite, Ruifu said slowly: "Aunt Cheng said she would introduce you to a fourth sister-in-law. Your fourth brother came here specifically to see us."

Whenever anything happens between a man and a woman, everyone gossips. When Rui Quan heard that it was related to his future fourth sister-in-law, he became more energetic, "Really? That's such a happy event. Which village is he from? Fourth brother, when are you going to go?

See"

Ruimin's face turned slightly red, "It's from Aunt Cheng's natal village. As for when to meet, I'll ask Aunt Cheng tomorrow and ask her to arrange a time."

While talking, Rui Sheng came home for dinner. He entered the old house first and found that there was no one there. He opened the lid of the pot and saw that there was cornmeal porridge left for him. He picked up the bowl beside the pot and took out a bowl.

Come on, slurping along the rim of the bowl and mumbling, "It's true that Liuzi is so burnt every day that he doesn't know how to cook something delicious."

Ruisheng walked to Ruifu with the bowl in his hand. Seeing the light inside, he walked in casually. He was surprised to see Ruifu and his men drinking wine. He immediately refused and said, "Third brother, you guys have a good meal."

Why didn’t you call me when you were eating?”

Ruifu: "Calling you? You're full from playing cards, why should I call you?"
