In the Xu family, Mrs. Xu's favorite daughter-in-law is the third daughter-in-law Liu Qiao, and her favorite son is definitely the second son Xu Jianhai.
The old lady thought that Xu Jianhai was like him, smart and smart. The old lady often said that this is a good pot with a broken lid, which is wrong.
But who made Xu Jianhai like women like Zhang Cuiqin? Xu Jianhai felt that in order to find a woman, he had to find someone who was a little stupid, in order to show his ability as a man.
So right now, Zhang Cuiqin did something stupid, and Xu Jianhai explained it patiently.
"You see why Liu Qiao didn't find a chance to make Erya and Siya feel uncomfortable, isn't it because of her child?"
Zhang Cuiqin was still wondering if she really did something wrong, but after hearing Xu Jianhai say good things about Liu Qiao, the jealous jar was overturned immediately, "You think Liu Qiao is better than me, don't you? The old lady likes her, you I also like her. Why didn't you look for her back then, but came to me? Let me tell you, I just can't get used to Erya, and I won't let her have a good time. Huh, why are they both the son of the old lady? He Xu Jiansheng and Li Jing can live a good life in the city, but we have to live a miserable life in our hometown."
She just couldn't understand Li Jing's appearance as a city person. After all, her natal family is more respectable than Li Jing's natal family. With Li Jing's natal family in such a dilapidated state, why should Li Jing live better than her.
"I said you are a mother-in-law, so why can't you make sense of it? Turning around will make mom unhappy, and you will suffer." Seeing his daughter-in-law disobedient, Xu Jianhai felt upset, and reached out to touch the melon seeds on Zhang Cuiqin's head.
Zhang Cuiqin snorted, and waved his hand away, "Mom won't protect her. Just wait and see, this erya will be of great use in the future."
Without Zhang Cuiqin messing around, Xu Nannan had a much easier morning. Aunt Osmanthus also took good care of her and specially asked her to do some light work.
"I said Nannan, it's not the same thing for you to go to the fields with us all day long. You are a good little girl, what will you do if you go on like this?" Song Guihua whispered when it was time to call it a day.
Xu Nannan rubbed his sore shoulders, "Aunt Osmanthus, I don't want to, but if I don't work, I won't drink my milk. In the morning, I just drank a bowl of rice soup."
"This old lady..." Song Guihua was a little bit annoyed when she heard this, but this old lady still had some prestige in the village, and no one wanted to offend her. As an outsider, I can't take care of the old Xu's affairs.
She frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "How about this, if your parents come back this time, you can talk to them and see if you can get some rare things. Then let the captain find a good job for you."
Xu Nannan opened his eyes, "Is there any good work in our village?"
"You don't know that. In addition to going to the field, we also have to herd cattle and work on the farm. This is all work. It's just that compared to these, the work points for going to the field are more. But you A child can't earn much work points if he goes to the field, so it's better to go to the farm and rest when he's done."
Xu Nannan really didn't know there were such twists and turns. The original owner is an honest person, he usually does what he is asked to do, and doesn't think too much. So apart from the fact that Xu's family let her go to work in the fields, she didn't care about anything else. So the information left to Xu Nannan is not very useful.
She didn't know much about this era either.
"Aunt Osmanthus, can this be useful? Uncle Gensheng doesn't seem to care too much." She had already seen that Xu Gensheng was a bit soft-tempered. Before Zhang Cuiqin lifted the old lady out, he immediately withdrew . It looks unreliable. What if there is no work to collect things
Song Guihua smiled, looked around secretly, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she leaned over and said, "Don't look for Xu Gensheng, you look for his wife. Xu Gen is afraid of his wife." After talking about it, Song Guihua couldn't help it He covered his mouth and smiled.
Xu Gensheng is a kind person in the village, but his wife is a tigress.
Xu Nannan's eyes lit up, and he finally found some direction in his heart, "Aunt Osmanthus, if this thing happens, I, I will definitely remember your great kindness."
"Whether it's a favor or not, I'll just talk about it. It depends on what good things your parents can get. You talk about it carefully. After all, you are parents, and you must miss you too much."
Song Guihua still thinks about things for the better, and doesn't believe that Xu Jiansheng and his wife really don't care about their children at all. But Xu Nannan didn't like the couple at all. But you still have to try it anyway. If she really didn't give it to her, she would buy it on Taobao herself. It's just that I have to use these two couples as an excuse later, and I feel a little unwilling.
At noon, everyone went back to eat, and Xu Nannan followed into the house. The house is deserted, nothing.
Zhang Cuiqin was hungry and went to the kitchen to check, but there was no fire in the stove. The old lady didn't cook. She hurriedly ran to the yard and shouted into the house, "Mom, there is no food, and I have to go to work later."
"Eat whatever you want, I don't have an old man in my heart anymore, why should I serve you. If you want to eat, make it yourself."
The old lady replied in the room.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and dared not say a word. The old lady asked to cook, but the food is in her old man's house, how can I cook without food
Come on, the old lady is angry, and the whole family cannot eat.
Xu Jianhai looked at Xu Nannan with a blue face, "Ah, why don't you confess your mistake to your grandma, what should you do if your grandma loses her temper?"
Liu Qiao also persuaded, "Second Ah, be obedient. Your grandma is an elder after all, so it's worth admitting your mistakes. If you don't eat, Si Ya won't eat either?"
"Damn girl, it's all your fault, causing the whole family to go hungry. Why did your mother give birth to such a loser?" Zhang Cuiqin sat down on the threshold with her hands still covering her stomach.
When Xu Nannan listened to the persuasion and scolding of several people, he heheed twice in his heart. The old lady's trick is really clever, and now the whole family is attacking her.
If the original owner was really a little girl, she would have been so frightened that she would kneel down and kowtow to the old lady. The whole family bullies a child, why do these people have such big faces.
Xu Nannan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "It's fine if grandma doesn't want to do it, you can do it yourself, I'm going to see Xiaoman."
Let her admit her mistake, no way! She couldn't believe that the old lady was willing to let her precious son go to work hungry.
After entering the room, Xu Xiaoman had already sat up from the bed. After two full meals, her body seemed to be recovering.
Seeing Xu Nannan coming in, Xu Xiaoman said in fear, "Sister, I just heard that there was a noise outside, and Second Aunt seemed to be swearing."
Xu Nannan closed the door, pretending that he didn't hear the noise outside.
"It's okay, the second aunt didn't quarrel someday, she's just so virtuous."
Seeing that Xu Xiaoman had already sat up, she happily walked over, "You have strength now?"
Xu Xiaoman nodded, "After eating what my sister gave me, I will have strength. I guess I will be able to work tomorrow."
This honest boy.
Xu Nannan pinched her little face, there was not much flesh at all, "Okay, don't get out of bed, just stay in the room."
"That's okay, if you don't work, your grandma will scold you."
"You are not recovering from your illness. If you are capable, let her send you to the health center."
"but I… "
"Xiao Man, if you go to work, grandma will definitely wonder why you got better so quickly, and then you will know about our stealing food? You know grandma's temper, and I will be beaten to death by then. You Want to see me get beaten?"
"I don't want to!" Xu Xiaoman shook his head vigorously, his thin yellow face wrinkled into a ball.
"So what should you do?"
"The illness is not cured, continue to sleep."
"So smart." Xu Nannan kissed her on the forehead. This child is very malleable, and he will continue to work hard to make Xiaoman into sesame glutinous rice balls.
Xu Xiaoman ate half of the cake left by Xu Nannan, and he is not hungry yet, but Xu Nannan himself is a little hungry. Now that it is broad daylight, Xiaoman is awake again. It is not convenient for her to buy things in the Taobao store, so she can only wait.
After a while, Grandma Xu finally entered the kitchen cursing.
Xu Nannan didn't go out to make trouble, he just talked to Xu Xiaoman in the room, dipped in water to write on the table, and taught Xu Xiaoman how to read.
Xu Xiaoman is already nine years old, has not yet gone to school, and cannot read. There are a lot of people who don't study these days. Even if the conditions are better in the future, there will be illiterates, but Xu Nannan doesn't accept his fate. She was an orphan before, and she also fought for the head. Now that she has become Xiao Man's older sister, she can't let Xiao Man grow up in such a muddle.
It was the first time that Xu Xiaoman was taught to read at this age. In the past, my sister was always very busy, with endless work and no time to rest. Not to mention teaching her to read and write. She studied very seriously, wishing she could memorize all the words at once.
However, it may be related to malnutrition. Her memory is not good. Xu Nannan has taught her many times, but she can't even remember her own name.
Xu Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders dejectedly.
Seeing her depressed look, Xu Nannan rubbed her head with a smile, "Xiaoman is already very smart, other people's children can't read a few words when they go to school, let's take your time. I'll buy stationery for you later return."
"Is it like stationery like Big Sister and the others?" Xu Xiaoman's eyes sparkled. "Sister Da Ya said, it was brought back by a colleague in Dad's work unit in a big city."
Xu Nannan's nose was sour, "It's better than them." She decided that she would eat less than two bags of biscuits in the future and buy a set of stationery for Xiaoman on Taobao.
Xu Nannan has been paying attention to the movement outside. The old lady's meal is ready, so she let Xu Xiaoman rest and go out to eat by herself.
The old lady was directing her daughter-in-law to serve food in the main room, and when she saw her come out, she became furious, "You white-eyed wolf, if you dare to come out to eat, I will beat you to death today."
"Fuck, when my parents come back, I'll let them see what I'm doing in the village." Xu Nannan stared.
The old lady's face changed with anger, she picked up her crutches and ran towards Xu Nannan. The old lady usually looks like she can't walk, but now she walks like flying.
Xu Nannan immediately rushed out, "Help, the old lady is going to kill her granddaughter, captain, village chief, secretary, help."
"Grandma Nannan, what are you doing here? You don't eat at noon, why are you chasing after your children?" Song Guihua was the first to run over, followed by others one after another. At this time, everyone was eating at home, and the village was not big, so when they heard the noise, they all ran over.
Seeing Song Osmanthus, Xu Nannan immediately ran over and cried, "Aunt Osmanthus, help me, my grandma is going to beat me to death. She won't let me eat, she said that if I eat, she will beat me—"
Grandma Xu didn't expect that Xu Nannan would come outside directly, and even ruin her reputation in front of outsiders, so angry that she almost lost her footing. "You, come here!"
Seeing Grandma Xu looking like she was going to eat people, the others couldn't bear it either.
Everyone knows what life the two sisters Xu Nannan live at home. It's just that people's housework is not easy to manage. But it's outrageous when it's outside.
It's fine to let the children work, and they don't even give them food. Isn't this killing the children
"Ma'am, Nannan usually works very hard, why doesn't she give me food?"
"Yeah, it's hard for Jiansheng and his wife to raise their children outside. How can they let their own children suffer like this?"
"Everyone can't eat well due to the commotion, and work will be delayed in the afternoon."
Listening to everyone's accusations, the old lady felt very depressed. In the past few years in Xujiacun, she has never been said anything bad. Even the cadres and officials in the village have to call her aunt when they see her.
The old lady felt that she had lost all face in her life today.
Looking at the old lady's appearance, Xu Nannan didn't feel sorry for her at all, but felt very happy. She is not the real Xu Nannan, so she is not afraid of the old lady at all. The old lady valued her reputation and status, so the more she wanted to bring the Xu family's scandals to the outside world.
Although everyone is clear about the mess of the old Xu family, but this is a big day, and no one can pretend that they don't know.
When she wants to take Xiaoman out to set up a family in the future, she will get more support.
"Here, what's the matter?"
A slightly surprised voice came from behind the crowd. The villagers all moved out of the way when they heard the voice, and said humanely, "Jiansheng, you are back, let's see how your daughter is doing."
When Xu Jiansheng walked over from behind the crowd, Xu Nannan also saw him. Just as the original owner remembered, he was a very tall and tough man, giving off the feeling of a tough guy.
Xu Nannan pursed her lips and sneered in her heart. A person who can't even protect his daughter, let alone a man, is not worthy of being a man!
