Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-One: Talk and Harmony
Having said all that needs to be said, the Ruimin brothers couldn't keep sitting at someone else's house. They stood up and said goodbye to Cheng Liyun. Ruimin said, "Aunt, let's go back first. I'll wait for your letter at home."
"Okay, I won't let you stay." Cheng Liyun followed the brothers and walked out, "I will go back to my parents' house after I wash my clothes."
Both Ruimin brothers came to the gate. Ruifu, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Auntie, I have to trouble you to worry about my affairs."
"Don't worry." Cheng Liyun patted Ruifu on the shoulder, "Auntie will keep it in mind. Whenever there is good news, you will be the first one to think of you."
After seeing off the two brothers, Cheng Liyun hurriedly took out her clothes, locked the door and walked to her parents' home. Cheng Liyun's parents' home is not too far from her husband's home. They are five miles apart. It only takes ten or twenty minutes to walk. She walks fast.
When passing by her parents' house, she didn't go in and went directly to Yang Xinxiu's house. Unexpectedly, she was rejected by Yang Xinxiu's house and the door was locked tightly with a big iron lock.
"Hey, where have these ladies gone?" Cheng Lihua was not willing to make a trip in vain. She peeked through the crack in the door to make sure that no one was at home before returning to her parents' home.
The morning sun was neither cool nor hot, and it was warm on the body. Old Mrs. Cheng was leaning on the recliner, squinting comfortably, enjoying the pleasant warm time.
"Mom." Cheng Liyun opened the door, but she didn't see her father. She then asked, "Where is my father? He's not at home."
The old lady opened her eyes and said, "Your father was feeling uncomfortable at home, and he went out to pick up manure with a dung basket on his back. Do you have anything to do with your father?"
"It's okay." Cheng Liyun sat next to her mother, "Mom, I'm here to see Yang Xiuxiu. Didn't I tell her last time that there is a suitable person to introduce her to? Now that there is a suitable person, I will ask her.
I mean, then make an appointment for the two of you to meet."
Women are all gossips, and Mrs. Cheng is no exception. She immediately sat upright and asked energetically: "Who is that person? Do I know him?"
Cheng Liyun: "You may know that your son-in-law and I have some relatives."
"Who is that?"
"The four boys from the Lao Shi family."
The old lady thought about it and said, "I have no impression."
Cheng Liyun reminded: "He is the younger brother of the man who died from a work-related injury a few years ago. When I told you about it at that time, you said it was a pity that he died so young."
The old lady patted her thigh and suddenly realized, "Oh~ I remembered, it's his house."
Cheng Liyun nodded, "Yes, that's his house."
"Tell me what's going on with your offspring, and why you haven't found a wife yet."
Cheng Liyun: "I'm not poor yet. There are many brothers in the family, six of them are sons, so we are very poor. But things have gotten better in the past two years. The fourth child I mentioned was picked up by his elder brother and given a job.
, he can be considered a person with an iron rice bowl."
"The conditions are not bad." The old lady thought for a while, "How could he be willing to find a second wife with three children when his conditions are so good?"
Cheng Liyun: "Mom, you don't know, this fourth child has something wrong with him. He's bald. He's a good match for the rookie. However, Shi Laosi said that he doesn't want the woman to bring so many children there."
Mrs. Cheng immediately became worried, her old face suddenly wrinkled into a chrysanthemum, "What can we do without taking care of the children? The rookie's children are so young, who will support them if she doesn't take care of them?"
"Mom, we can't worry about this. I just came here to give you a message."
"Then have you told the rookie?"
Cheng Liyun stood up irritably and took two steps, "I wanted to go tell her, but I couldn't find anyone. The door is locked. There is no one in the house. I don't know where these girls have gone."
"Hey~ Where can this newbie go? It's time to go to the fields. It's time to hoe the fields in the stick field. She has to do all the fields in her house by herself."
"Ah, how could I forget this!" Cheng Liyun patted her forehead, "Mom, do you know where Xin Xiu's house is? I'll go find her."
"What are you so anxious about? You'll see her when she comes to cook at noon."
"Mom, her family is here to cook, and I have to go home to cook. I'm coming here today. The child's father doesn't know. They have to go home for lunch at noon. Besides, Shi Laosi will have to go home in a few days.
Let’s go, it’s better to finish things quickly.”
Seeing that her daughter was on fire, Old Mrs. Cheng said hurriedly, "Our land faces north, and is next to a small road at the end. You can just go there to find her."
Cheng Liyun knew Yang Xinxiu's location, and she was about to leave, "Mom, I won't come over after I tell Xinxiu. I'll go home directly."
"Let's go, let's go." Old Mrs. Cheng waved her hand, "Look, you are as busy as your third grandson."
Cheng Liyun's life was relatively comfortable, and her man loved her. Except when there was really not enough manpower when harvesting crops, she rarely let her do the work in the fields. She usually did the work alone with her two sons.
Walking on a country road, there are green cob seedlings on both sides. At this time, the corn has just grown to waist-deep, and you can clearly see the people in the fields with hoes raising the ground.
Yang Xinxiu was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but she did not dare to rest. So far, she had only cultivated five or six acres of more than ten acres of land. She was anxious when she looked at the weeds among the corn seedlings. Now is the time when weeds and grains
When competing for nutrients, weeding is slow and affects the harvest. Moreover, the grass is particularly annoying. Here we are hoeing one crop after another, and there is one crop after another. We often just hoe the ground once and then look back.
At that time, another layer of turf appeared in the field over there, which annoyed Yang Xinxiu. He really hoped there was some good way to make the field grow only crops and no grass.
Although her eldest son can help her with something, it is her child's school time now, and she cannot delay her child's studies because of work in the fields. The second son and daughter are still young, not even tall enough to hold a hoe, and they can't even lift a hoe.
She didn't expect her two children to help her with the work, but she didn't feel at ease leaving the two little ones at home. They carried them with her all the time, so she gave them a basket and let them pull some wild vegetables.
.
Although the village is located in a large plain and there is not even a hillside, she is still afraid that the two children will run around and encounter danger. She gives them instructions again and again every day to keep them from running too far, but she is still worried.
, she would shout out after a while, and then listen carefully to the movements of the two people. Only when she was sure that the two children were not far away could she rest assured.
Cheng Liyun followed the voice and came here. She stood at the edge of the field and called Yang Xinxiu, who was working on the ground, "Xinxiu, Xinxiu, come here."
Hearing the voice, Yang Xiuxiu looked up and saw Cheng Liyun, whose heart couldn't help but jump wildly. He had only revealed his intention to remarry to her a few days ago. Did he get a reply so soon?
Yang Xinxiu walked out with a hoe in his hands, "Sister Liyun, do you have anything to do with me?"
After walking for so long, Cheng Liyun felt a little feverish. She wiped the thin sweat that had broken out with the back of her hand and said with a smile, "I have been looking around for you, and I only found out after asking my mother that you were working in the fields."
"Sister, what's going on?"
"What can I do for you? It's still what I said last time. Now I have a suitable person here who I want you to meet."
Yang Xinxiu's cheeks were flushed from exhaustion at first, but now they were even redder. She pursed her lips in embarrassment and said, "Sister Liyun, thank you for your trouble."
Cheng Liyun pushed Yang Xinxiu and teased: "Look at you, you are not a big girl anymore, why are you so embarrassed?"
Yang Xinxiu touched his hot cheek and argued, "No, no, I'm just tired from working."
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I'll tell you about the man. See if you see him."
Yang Xinxiu quickly put down the hoe and wiped the hoe handle with the lapel of his clothes, "Sister Liyun, sit down."
Cheng Liyun was also tired from walking, so she sat directly on the head, patted the seat next to her, "Rookie, you sit down too."
"Yeah." Yang Xinxiu sat next to Cheng Liyun, twiddling his fingers.
Cheng Liyun gave a brief introduction to Ruimin's situation, "The man is from the village where I am the head. His surname is Shi, and his name is Shi Ruimin. He is one year older than you. He is thirty-one this year. He has never been married. He is currently out of town.
There is a serious job."
When Yang Xinxiu heard about Ruimin's good conditions, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, "Sister, I'm not worthy of Ruimin's good conditions."
"Sister hasn't finished speaking yet. Please listen to what she continues." Cheng Liyun continued: "Shi Ruimin got sick when he was a child. He had sores on his head. He was not cured. He suffered sequelae and became bald."
So that’s the case, no wonder he’s not talking about his wife now. It’s okay if he’s just bald, as long as he’s healthy. “Sister, does he have any other problems?”
"Anything else?" Cheng Liyun thought for a while, "I heard that my eyesight is not very good, and I can't see when it gets dark."
Who can see things in the dark? Yang Xinxiu did not take his poor eyesight seriously, "As long as there is nothing wrong with your body, it will be fine."
"It's okay. If you don't have any objections, let's see when you are free and you two can meet."
"Okay, sister, please tell me a time, and I will go directly there then."
"It's like this. Shi Ruimin came back from leave. Time is tight. He has to go back to work in a few days, so I won't put it off anymore. The time is set at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Then you can come to my house.
Can we meet at my house?"
Yang Xinxiu smiled and said, "Sister, I listen to you, then I will go there tomorrow morning."
After agreeing on the time and place to meet, Cheng Liyun looked at Yang Xinxiu. She tucked Yang Xinxiu's hair behind her ears and said, "Sister, take a good bath tonight, and dress up tomorrow and wear good clothes."
, the first time you meet, you must leave a good impression on them.”
"Yeah." Yang Xinxiu bit his lip, "I will definitely clean it up tomorrow."
