Chapter 795: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (28)

"Hello-"

At this time, the voice of the villagers came from the front, and another sledge came.

Perhaps he was worried that something might happen to the people in the reclamation team, so he came here to help.

Now everyone can go back on the sledge.

"Comrade Xiao Cheng." Captain Fu changed seats with Xu Yin and chatted with Cheng Shaojin, "Your family is also from Yuanshan County?"

 “No, I went to visit my aunt.”

“Oh, that’s it. By the way, didn’t Director Niu ask you to send a letter over?”

 Cheng Shaojin touched his jacket pocket, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Sorry, I was left behind in the army."

He thought he had to do something for his savior.

 Captain Fu was stunned: “…”

Then what are you here for? Did you make a special trip to bring a message to Comrade Xu Yin?

 …

　　The wolf dragged back was slaughtered on the same day, and a piece was cut off and stewed with red chili pepper.

Cheng Shaojin sat next to Captain Fu and listened to him talk about the achievements of land reclamation in the past year and Xu Yin's great achievements. The more he listened, the more the scale in his mind tilted towards Xu Yin.

 The next day, Cheng Shaojin returned to the station from Hewozitun and knocked on the door of the traffic officer's dormitory carrying a piece of wolf leg meat.

“Brother Liu, I heard that you are going back to your hometown to visit relatives in a few days. I remember that your hometown is relatively close to Yuanshan County. Can you send me a letter?”

Liu Dazhuang asked in surprise: "Didn't you just come back from visiting relatives in Yuanshan County?"

 Cheng Shaojin coughed slightly: "I forgot to tell my cousin something."

Liu Dazhuang laughed and said, "You two cousins ​​have a very good relationship!"

"yes."

Cheng Shaojin left the wolf leg meat and a letter and asked Liu Dazhuang to deliver it to his cousin Xu Wenfa when he passed through Yuanshan County on his way back to his hometown.

 “Take the meat back! What are you doing! Do you want to see the outside world?”

“This is fresh wolf meat that I exchanged with the fellow villagers from Hewozitun. You can take it back and give it to my uncle and aunt to have a taste of it.”

 The so-called fellow villager is Xu Yin.

 Before I could repay the life-saving grace, I owed another favor to a wolf meat.

Liu Dazhuang heard that it was wolf meat. It is said to nourish the kidneys and stomach, and is very nourishing. His mother has weak bones, and his father has often complained of back pain in the past few years.

 “Then I’ll give you food rations in exchange.”

“Brother Liu, you are out of sight now. I am bringing some New Year’s goods to the uncle and aunt, are you still polite to me?”

Liu Dazhuang shook his head with a smile: "Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. Don't worry, what you told me will be done well."

Three days later, Xu Wenfa from Yuanshan County received a letter from Liu Dazhuang and was puzzled: Didn’t my cousin just go back? Why are you writing again? And wrote it specifically to him?

 After opening it and reading the contents, I became even more puzzled: I asked him to help investigate the Xu family in Wanxing Village. Is there any connection between the Xu family in Wanxing Village and my own family? "Mom, do we have any relatives in Wanxing Village?" He closed the letter and ran to ask Xu's mother.

"No."

 “This is strange.”

"What's wrong?"

"it's okay no problem."

My cousin told him in the letter not to tell anyone else.

Xu Wenfa was puzzled that he would still complete the things that his cousin asked him to do meticulously.

 The next day, he took half a day off and rode his bicycle around the countryside.

According to my cousin's instructions, I secretly inquired about the situation of the Xu family in Wanxing Village, including how many people there are in the Xu family, the current situation of the Xu family's children, and whether anything has happened recently.

It was a coincidence that I had just entered Wanxing Village and was thinking about how to inquire better. After all, it was strange to inquire about a stranger's house rashly. The boss of the Xu family came back from the fields carrying a rake and was struck by him. The wife twisted her ears and scolded:

"Xu Yong! What did I tell you before going out? I asked you to go to the old house and have a good talk with your parents. If they really plan to raise those three oil bottles, from now on, you, the son, will Don't worry about them. Let them live with Xu Cui! Don't come to us when you are old and can't do anything anymore. Just think that you and Xu Cui have lost their identities. Don't they love to raise children for Xu Cui? Then Let Xu Cui provide for them until they die! Don’t come to us!”

Xu Yong became angry with embarrassment: "I can't say such things!"

"If you can't say it, I'll do it!" Xu Yong's wife rubbed her sleeves and said angrily, "It's better for Xu Cui, a married daughter, to throw away the water thrown by her married daughter. If she doesn't want to raise her three sons, just throw them away to her parents' home." , let your parents eat, drink, and have sex, what a beautiful plan!"

“My parents can’t help it. Why don’t we ask someone to send a message to my little sister asking her to come back?”

"What's the use of her coming back? The eldest daughter of Huanghua has not decided to get married. How can she take care of the child for her eldest sister first? Can she still find a partner if she goes out?"

“Don’t worry about it, my parents will take care of it.”

"Hmph! I'm too lazy to worry about it! Anyway, I'm going to say something ugly first. If your parents are determined to raise those three oil bottles, don't come to my house from now on! Don't even look for my son to throw pots and banners after a hundred years. !”

　　　…”

　　The couple went home in a fussy manner.

Xu Wenfa was moved when he heard that the person named "Xu" was mentioned in their conversation. He called out to the villagers who had also returned from the field: "Uncle, the couple who just walked by had such a fierce quarrel, wouldn't they start a fight?"

"Haha!" the villager said with a smile, "Xu Yong is famously afraid of his daughter-in-law in our village, so don't worry, we won't be able to fight. However, the old Xu family is really noisy this year. At the beginning of the year, the eldest daughter Xu Cui got divorced, so she came out After confinement, she returned to her parents’ home with the triplets in her arms. Later, she went to work in the city, leaving her three sons with Mr. and Mrs. Xu. We have always taken care of our grandchildren, but Xu Yong’s wife did not Then there was a commotion. Fortunately, I heard that there is news about the little daughter of the old Xu family who went to northern Xinjiang to open up wasteland with the national reclamation team. I asked someone to send her a message a while ago asking her to come back. I guess I want her to help take care of the child. I guess. I said, Mr. and Mrs. Xu are also old and confused. Their youngest daughter’s marriage has not yet been settled. They have arranged three children for her. Who will dare to come to propose marriage in the future?"

 At this point, the villagers shook their heads and walked away with their hands behind their backs.

Xu Wenfa quickly took out a pen and paper from his coat pocket and wrote down everything he heard in detail.

To be honest, he hasn't quite figured out the logic.

It seems that the eldest daughter of the Xu family got divorced at the beginning of the year and returned to her parents' home with her three children. Soon after, she went to work in the city and no longer took care of her three children. The eldest son and his wife disliked the elder couple for raising a grandson instead of a grandson, so they said they would continue to raise a grandson and they would not care for them until they were old. So the old couple wanted their unengaged daughter, who was participating in the national reclamation team, to come back and help raise their three children?

 What is this!

Xu Wenfa shook his head. Even he, an outsider, was ashamed for the Xu family.

Although he didn’t know why his cousin asked him to help investigate this family, he still tried his best to find out.

 After returning home, I reorganized the words I had written down and wrote three thick pages in duplicate.

One copy was stuffed into an envelope together with a one-page letter written by his cousin and sent to the labor union to be handed over to Director Niu; the other copy was given to his cousin when Liu Dazhuang returned to Beiguan after visiting relatives.
