"Leave? Teacher He, you mean you're free?" Xu Nannan said pleasantly.
He Qiusheng smiled, "It's not that easy. This is centralized management. I don't even want to give me this little freedom." Teacher He took a sip of his wine.
"..."
Xu Nannan's heart sank suddenly, it's obviously not that time yet, why are you being so strict
"Mr. He, where are you going?"
"The farm in the northwest, but it's pretty good. Several of my partners are there. I will have a partner in the future." He Qiusheng said happily in bitterness.
"Nannan, don't worry about my affairs. Anyway, I have to live anyway, and I don't believe that I can live like this forever."
"There will be a better day." It's just that there will be more difficult days in the future.
Xu Nannan felt that he would rather not know the future development, so that he could live a day-to-day life like other people, without thinking about the difficult days ahead.
He took out money and tickets from his body and stuffed them into He Qiusheng's pocket.
"Mr. He, you take all these with you, close to your body. I won't be able to see you often like this when I'm far away in the future. Bring some money with you, and it will always make your life easier."
He Qiusheng stretched out his hand and pushed it away, "What are you doing, just looking at your teacher like this? What is this little life, I can live on the same food."
Xu Nannan was more determined than him, "I know you can live any life, but I am your student and I want you to live a better life. This is the tuition fee for me and Xiaoman, okay? You have taught us so much Knowledge, these are priceless."
As he spoke, he stuffed the money and tickets into He Qiusheng's pocket, with a bit of pleading in his expression.
He Qiusheng looked at her with eyes that were about to cry, and sighed, whether she didn't push her away again. "Nannan, don't worry about me. It's good to go there. There will be people talking there in the future."
Xu Nannan nodded, "I will also visit you when I travel on business in the future."
Maybe, as Mr. He said, going to the farm is not all a bad thing. At the very least, there are so many like-minded people who can talk to each other and get through life together. And on the farm side, she can occasionally go over to deliver things. Instead, there is no need to hide in the field.
Knowing that He Qiusheng was leaving, Xu Nannan always felt a little uncomfortable. When he woke up the next day, his eyes were swollen.
Song Guihua looked a little startled, "Didn't sleep well at night?"
Xu Nannan shook his head, "I'm happy that Xiaoman has gone to the city."
"You should be happy. From now on, the two of you sisters will be serious urbanites, eating food supplies." Song Guihua was both happy and emotional.
In just over a year, these two children have changed drastically.
Seeing her melancholy, Xu Nannan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, wood and stone will have a chance in the future."
There are still three years, wood and stone can always go to junior high school. At this time, junior high school culture does not necessarily require a junior high school graduate. Even if you are in the first and second grades of junior high school, you can still say that you are a junior high school culture. At that time, if wood and stone have to take a job test, she can also help them with tutoring. Even farming at home is not bad, after all, he can get through that period safely. After that period, the two are not very old, as long as the two children make progress, she can guide them to make money and live a good life.
Xu Nannan didn't say these words directly, Song Guihua thought Xu Nannan was doing this to reassure her, so she promised her, and immediately shook her head and said, "Forget it, just those two brats in our family, I don't worry about letting them go outside to go wild." , I have to watch it under my nose."
This is a bit duplicity. Why would a mother not want her child to have a good life, but Song Guihua couldn't say that, otherwise, wouldn't this be a way of repaying her kindness.
It's not easy for these two kids.
Xu Nannan didn't say anything, it's not yet that time, it's useless to talk too much, anyway, it's the same if you keep it in your heart. "Auntie, let the wood and stone play with me during the summer vacation. Now that I have a place to live, let them go to the city to play."
This time Song Guihua did not refuse. "Okay, it's time for the two of them to see the world."
After getting on the bus to the city, Xu Nannan found that Liu Qiao was also sitting in the car. The small bench I brought myself, the cat is lying on my body.
Seeing Xu Nannan got into the car, she changed her expression, as if she wanted to talk.
Xu Nannan pouted, as if he didn't see it.
The car bumped all the way and finally arrived at the county seat.
After getting out of the car, Xu Nannan didn't plan to go to work in the mine either. She had a day off, plus she took a day off, so she could continue to rest today. Taking advantage of this time, she first transferred Xiaoman's household registration to her grandfather's house. .
"Erya," Xu Nannan didn't take long to play before Liu Qiao caught up, looking at Xu Nannan with a pair of good eyes, "Erya, you don't care at all. You used to be such a good kid, but now In the blink of an eye, I don’t even recognize my ancestors.”
This is also heartbreaking. Xu Nannan looked at her coldly, then pursed his lips and walked forward.
"Erya," Liu Qiao chased after him, blocking Xu Nannan's way, "You think you'll be fine after you're adopted? There's no such thing as a girl being the head of the family these days. Whose girl can do that?" You have established a family and have no brothers. After you get married, you will be ruined by your in-laws. Look at your mother-in-law. If you have no brothers, you will be tortured to death by her."
"What do you mean, all mother-in-laws can be like old ladies?" Xu Nannan sneered.
Liu Qiao wasn't angry either, and sighed, "You're still young, and you haven't seen many mothers-in-law, just from our village. Which mother-in-law doesn't care about your daughter-in-law. Your grandma is relatively light. But that's it, we don't Do you have to please the old man? You said that if you are bullied at your in-law’s house in the future, who will stand up for you? Xiaoman? She is more honest than you. Rely on your grandparents? They are old, it’s not nice to say Yes, it's not that many years. If you're alive, what can you do at such an old age?"
Xu Nannan looked at her with a half-smile.
Liu Qiao lowered her eyes, "I won't talk to you anymore, why does Longlong call you sister, brother and sister, he broke the bones and tendons, and I will show you in the future. Besides Only boys can continue the bloodline, and you don’t want the family you adopted to be extinct in your and Xiaoman’s generation.”
It's all about this, Xu Nannan doesn't know her plan yet. She just thought, if the old lady knew that her daughter-in-law wanted to adopt her grandson to someone else, she didn't know what expression she would have.
"You want Longlong to adopt him? Are you not afraid that the old lady will fight for you?"
"Longlong was born by me, of course I can make the decision." The household registration has been moved out, and even if she wants to separate the family, no one can say anything bad about it.
"Second Ah, Third Aunt is doing it for your own good. There is a brother who is better than supporting yourself. Longlong is thirteen years old, and he will be an adult in two or three years. You don't have to bear the burden, me and Your third uncle can also support him, how cost-effective is that?"
You don't have to worry about anything, you can get a brother, and you will have someone to rely on in the future. Really good deal. Xu Nannan smiled and shook his head firmly, "Aunt Liu, you must not know that Meizi doesn't live at her uncle and uncle's house now, she lives alone in the single dormitory, and eats in the cafeteria every month I keep my salary in my own hands, and I had a fight with her aunt because of this matter. Think about it, how many years her aunt has raised her, and how kind she is to her. If you say no, don’t care. I don’t I dare to listen to you, otherwise, I don’t know how wronged I am to raise the second plum. And Aunt Liu, before you sell your child, you should teach your child well. It’s not enough to teach the mind, you have to teach how Be human."
Liu Qiao's face slowly turned red, and her eyes became sharp.
Hearing what Xu Nannan said about Xu Meizi's situation, he knew that the matter of the house was definitely not going to happen. Immediately, I felt a pile of things pressing up, and my heart felt heavy and stuffy.
Seeing Xu Nannan walking away, she was so angry that she wanted to drag her to scold her, but she was also worried about her son and daughter, so she stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and cursed, "The thing that kills a thousand knives, you will see it sooner or later." .”
When Xu Nannan returned home, the first thing he did was to find Yu Donglai to register Xu Xiaoman's household registration.
Yu Donglai had been waiting at home for Xu Nannan to come back, the old lady couldn't wait to urge him early in the morning to see if Xu Nannan was back. Yu Donglai himself went to look at the house several times.
Now that he finally saw Xu Nannan, Yu Donglai immediately took Xu Nannan to register.
From now on, Xu Xiaoman will be called Yu Xiaoman.
"If you're not used to it, just call it the same as before, as long as the account number is correct." Yu Donglai was worried that the two children would not get used to it by then, so let's call it the same as before.
At noon Xiaoman came back for dinner, looked at the account book, and kept sniffling.
"Grandpa, grandma," she said shyly.
"Oh." The two elders responded nicely. Grandma Yu wiped away her tears again. Now I really believe that I have a granddaughter.
After dinner, Grandma Yu urged Xu Nannan to transfer the account as well. But there is no need to change the food relationship, it is at the mine, and I will eat the cafeteria at the mine at noon in the future, so I can save running on both sides. Anyway, the family is not bad for that bite. She and the old man retired as dual-career workers, and their wages and food are enough to eat. They are old and can't eat much, but they can still subsidize their granddaughter.
Xu Nannan was going to do it when he was at work tomorrow. Seeing that the old couple was in such a hurry, he followed their wishes and sent Xu Xiaoman to transfer his account while he was at school.
She herself has a registered permanent residence in the city, and now there are streets willing to accept her registered permanent residence, and the transfer is much more convenient than Xiaoman's.
The only inconvenient thing is to change the last name. She went to a technical secondary school before, and when she took the job test, the file was full of this name, and it would be troublesome to change it.
Zhu Liping knew about this, and took her to the personnel department and the mining committee for a walk, and finally got the matter done.
After completing the formalities, someone acquainted with the Mining Committee asked her why she changed her surname.
About the adoption, Xu Nannan didn't hide it from the people in the mine. She doesn't feel ashamed or guilty about this kind of thing, so there's no need to hide it from others. Hiding it seems that I have a guilty conscience.
"I don't want to change my surname, but I still keep it for the New Year. Last time, Nannan was so hungry that she fainted. The parents didn't even feel sorry for them, and even forced the children to ask for a house. I don't care about the ones raised by others, but Nannan has to take care of it." ? This is not the old society anymore, if you don’t say anything about your parents, you must be right.”
Zhu Liping said sternly.
Others also sighed. But in the end, some people still think that Xu Nannan's adoption is a bit too extreme. After all, they are parents.
Xu Nannan didn't bother to explain to these people. She is not a food stamp, but can everyone like her
"Then am I going to call you Yu Nannan in the future?" Zhu Fang asked awkwardly, rubbing her chin.
"You can call me whatever you want." Xu Nannan didn't care. Anyway, her Xu is not from the old Xu family. It was her last name in her previous life. As for changing the household registration to Yu, it also reassures the old couple.
She doesn't think it matters what the last name is, the key is the attitude. If you don't have a conscience in your heart, it's useless to have the emperor's surname.
After such a delay, it was almost time to get off work again, so Xu Nannan simply went outside to buy some melon seeds and fruit candies, and distributed them to the comrades in the purchasing department and mining committee, which was considered a happy event.
Xu Jiansheng got the news from the Mining Committee. I went to the leaders of the Mining Committee to discuss food distribution. I saw people from the Mining Committee eating and talking about South-South affairs.
Said that in the future, you can't call Xiao Xu, you have to call less than.
Xu Jiansheng was confused, but Li Chengwen called him into the office, and the first thing he said was, "Comrade Xu Nannan, I hope you will not affect your work."
Xu Jiansheng was a little confused, "What's the matter?"
"You don't know?" Li Chengwen felt a little embarrassed now. He thought that Xu Jiansheng knew about such a big matter, and worried that Xu Jiansheng would go to Xu Nannan to settle accounts, so he did some ideological work for him in advance.
After all, he is his teacher's student, he can be regarded as his little junior sister. You can't take care of her on the surface, but you can still help me in private. This turned out to be a disservice.
He picked up the enamel cup, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat again. "Comrade Xu Nannan, oh, it should be Comrade Yu Nannan now. She just came here to go through the formalities of transferring out her household registration, and she has arrived at the neighborhood committee on the other side of Jianshe Road."
Xu Jiansheng heard the point, "What Yu Nannan?"
"Comrade Xu Nannan said that she adopted into a family named Yu. They were an old couple. They will call them grandparents in the future. But we don't call it adoption anymore, this is called adoption."
Li Chengwen tried his best to make this matter more reasonable.
As a result, Xu Jiansheng became even more excited when he heard it, "What adoption, they are not orphans, and her mother and I are still here."
His palms clenched into fists, his knuckles creaking. "I never heard that parents are still alive, and they can adopt someone else's house."
"Ahem, we don't know about this. After all, her account is accepted, we just transfer it out, and write a certificate by the way to prove that we have such a comrade here. As for what their account will be called when the time comes, That's their freedom."
Seeing Xu Jiansheng's appearance of eating people, Li Chengwen pursed his lips, thinking it's better not to say too much, "Director Xu, I have something else to do, why don't you go to work first? It's nothing. It's not the first case in our mine."
Xu Jiansheng couldn't listen to anything, his head was buzzing.
He only knows one thing. His daughter will no longer be his daughter. Really not anymore. From now on, she will be someone else's daughter. The surname has also been changed, and the household registration has also been changed to another family.
It doesn't matter whether she recognizes his father or not, anyway, it has nothing to do with him in the future.
Walking aimlessly on the mine, I didn't see anyone saying hello. Suddenly he walked to the mine gate and saw Wei Guobing chatting with someone.
I remembered the first time my daughter came to the city to look for him.
A big girl, dressed in tatters, with a dirty face, crying for help.
When I got home, I kept arguing with Li Jing.
Oh, maybe Li Jing was making trouble with her.
Anyway, it was a mess.
He was somewhat unhappy at the time. I feel that my wife is living a normal life these days, so why are you making trouble
Isn't it good to stay in the village honestly? There are so many young girls in the village, and I have never seen any bad ones.
Said that her grandma wanted her to marry someone. He was also a little anxious, worried that his mother would really marry such a young girl. Although he was shaken by Li Jing later, didn't he still follow him back and didn't let her marry
What happened afterwards? Why did the child treat him as an enemy when they met for the second time.
Xu Jiansheng thought hard, but he couldn't figure out why he and his daughter came to this point.
It's been fine for so many years. He also knew that something was wrong and came to him, a father, for help, and he knew how to act like a baby. He also knew to protect him in front of the old lady. Why did it change
"Old Xu, why are you here? No wonder I couldn't find you for a long time." Li Jing came over from the mine, saw Xu Jiansheng was staring at the front with blank eyes, and suddenly became anxious, "You What's the matter, I still have important matters to discuss with you, what's wrong with you."
Xu Jiansheng glanced at her, didn't say anything, and followed her back home.
Seeing that his eyeballs were moving, Li Jing felt relieved knowing that he was fine, and talked about what happened just now.
"Liu Qiao is here, and she said she came to tell us about Nan Nan's adoption. Hmph, I think she came to see our house, and she said it so nicely. I didn't talk to her about her daughter. It’s troublesome, she also started to accuse me of not being able to teach my daughter. If you want me to say, that girl is adopted, anyway, she won’t be filial to us in the future. I cried so much to her that day, but she just didn’t let me follow her She lives together, what do you want for such a child, it's a credit that we didn't keep her by our side, or else I'd be so angry now. I've had enough of one plum."
Xu Jiansheng didn't speak, just watched her speak in a daze.
Li Jing continued, "But that girl also thought well. She thought it would be fine to adopt, and she didn't even think about who gave birth to her. Seeing that her life is going well, she went to be her grandson. Anyone with a conscience must I can't tolerate her. When she finds her husband's family in the future, I have to talk to her husband's family. "
Although he just said that Xu Nannan's adoption was not a big deal, he still couldn't swallow it in his heart. After staying in her stomach for more than nine months, eating her milk, and wanting to really leave her alone, there is no such good thing in this world.
When she gets older, when that dead girl gets married and has more scruples, the account will be settled slowly.
Arriving at Fen's single dormitory, Liu Qiao was sitting in the room talking to her son Xu Longlong, seeing the couple come back, her face was also serious.
"Brother, I don't want to say anything, but it's really hard to explain to the old lady when I go back. I haven't got another house, and my house is gone. Isn't this going back as you live? I didn't say it, sister-in-law. I'm really confused. There's also the matter of Sanya. I can see the wounds on her face. The sister-in-law is too ruthless. The children told me that they moved out to make room for the family and let you live It's spacious, but the sister-in-law ran over to make trouble with the child, embarrassing her in the mine, and even made a move. As a mother, I feel distressed when I see it... "
Li Jing was very angry, and it was not easy to quarrel with Liu Qiao.
The third daughter-in-law is a popular person around the old lady. With just one word from her, she can let herself go back to her hometown to farm.
If it wasn't for the third daughter-in-law last time, she would have stayed in the country that time.
That day she beat Xu Meizi, and she regretted it a little. It's not that I feel distressed, but that this matter is a bit impossible to maneuver. It is easy to offend my hometown.
She didn't dare to quarrel with Liu Qiao, so Li Jing pulled Xu Jiansheng and signaled him to speak.
Xu Jiansheng lit a cigarette, "The matter of the house is the same thing. As you can see, it's just a hand-sized place, and the mine gave it to the convenience. How many people want it but can't get it? Besides, didn't you come here to persuade me about this matter, let me think about it for my family. I have to listen to Li Jing's opinion. I listened, and I listened to it. I will listen to what she wants to do. You Look, here's the result."
"Old Xu, how can I be blamed for this?" As soon as Li Jing heard that Xu Jiansheng was in front of Liu Qiao, she directly pushed the matter on her, and her eyes turned red with excitement.
My man doesn't defend himself at this time, and pushes himself out. This is to let the old lady punish her.
Liu Qiao didn't expect Xu Jiansheng to say that. This time, she and Li Jing were blamed for the matter.
For a while, Liu Qiao didn't know why sister's words, so Liu Qiao simply didn't answer. Anyway, after going back to her hometown, what should I say, it's not a matter of her opening her mouth.
"What about Sanya's matter, what does the elder brother think? This child is sincere to you."
Xu Jiansheng didn't answer. Seeing Xu Ling squatting on the ground outside writing and drawing, he beckoned her to come over, "Lingzi, come here."
Hearing this, Xu Ling raised her head and looked at the three people whose faces were not very good-looking. She felt a little trembling in her heart, but she didn't dare to pass by, so she just moved her calf and walked over.
Xu Jiansheng looked at his daughter and asked, "Lingzi, your sister Meizi will not support your mother in the future, do you care about your mother?"
Xu Ling was taken aback, looked at the ugly faces of Liu Qiao and Li Jing, blinked her eyes, "I will care, I was born and raised by my mother."
"Then do you blame Sister Meizi?" Xu Jiansheng asked.
"No wonder, she was not born by my mother."
Xu Ling pouted.
Xu Jiansheng patted her on the head and asked her to play. She immediately ran away again.
Liu Qiao's lips trembled, and she said angrily, "Brother, what do you mean by that? I don't care if it's not a relative. Sanya is not your own, but she was raised by your side. We all know this .She said she would raise it in the future, so she would. She just came out to work now, didn't make any money, and didn't want to drag you down."
Xu Jiansheng sternly said, "I didn't blame Meizi, I just wanted to let you know that Reiko understands the truth, how can I not understand? I raised her and didn't expect her to take care of me. She doesn't care about this family, I don't care Opinion.
His loud voice startled Liu Qiao and Li Jing.
Li Jing covered her heart and said, "Old Xu, what are you doing? We have been raising plums for so long, how can she just leave it alone if she says nothing?" Isn't that for nothing
Xu Jiansheng ignored her, stood up and said to Liu Qiao, "When you go back, tell the old lady that this house is considered small, and I will still raise the other three that should be raised for studying. Meizi is not studying now, and in the future Xiaoling doesn't have to go back to her hometown, I'm Xu Jiansheng's daughter, I'll raise it myself!"
After speaking, he strode out.
"Old Xu, where are you going?" Li Jing quickly chased after him.
Liu Qiao sat in the room and watched, her heart was in a mess.
Brother, this is divorced from the family...
Xu Meizi heard the movement and knew that Xu Jiansheng and Li Jing had left, so she ran over to look for Liu Qiao, "Mom, what's the matter, uncle, what do you mean here?"
Liu Qiao shook her head, "Sanya, your uncle won't be able to count on you in the future, so you have to figure it out yourself. Look at Longlong, let him grow up no matter what."
Xu Meizi lowered her eyelids, "Mom, you don't need to explain this matter, I will definitely take care of Longlong."
"I don't worry about you doing things, but you are really impulsive this time. Even if you want to move, you have to discuss it with your uncle and uncle. No matter what you say this time, it must be renunciation. They will not Treat you like before."
"Mom, I can't help it. My aunt has such a temper that she wants to tie us to the waistband. Even if I break my mouth, she won't let me come out. If I don't take this opportunity to come out, she will have to Do you take money and food from me? I have no objection to raising Longlong, but I am not happy to raise Daya and Leizi."
Hearing what her daughter said, Liu Qiao also felt that it was so reasonable. She couldn't let her own daughter use money and food to support other people's children.
To put it bluntly, her own mother didn't even have a bite of what her filial daughter would eat.
"Forget it, you can live in peace of mind. I'll go back tomorrow morning. I can't stay here anymore." Liu Qiao thoughtfully.
Xu Nannan didn't know that her change of household registration made the old Xu's house so lively.
After changing her household registration, Yu Donglai took her directly to the sub-district office to settle down.
It's too late to treat guests to dinner, but they have officially become a family, so naturally they have to celebrate well.
In Xu Nannan's room here, Xu Nannan cooks himself, making three dishes and one soup.
Potato stew, mapo tofu, steamed fish and an egg drop soup.
This is high specification. That is, the leaders don't order this standard when they go to eat in big restaurants.
Xu Nannan didn't care, how could such a big matter be solved with a meal of dumplings. It's rare to eat a big meal openly, and you must eat well.
