Chapter 800: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (33)

"Family emergency?"

Xu Yin carefully recalled the plot. In the original text, nothing happened to the old Xu family this year.

If anything happens, it's probably related to Xu Cui.

 Could it be that Xu Cui got married for the second time? Let yourself go back for a wedding banquet?

No return!

Xu Yin shook her head, there is still a lot to be done in this year’s wasteland reclamation task! There is no time to go back and have a wedding banquet.

So, she sent back a telegram in the same brief manner: Married, I will reply at the end of the year!

　　　　!!”

 After receiving the telegram, Xu’s mother was about to burst into tears.

 The dead girl is married?

 Still in the wasteland!

It’s almost close to Siberia. Where can I find a good in-law? Isn't he a bachelor who is so poor that he can't find a wife at his age?

Xu’s mother was so angry that she was about to have a heart attack.

"Ouch! When did this **** girl have such big ideas? Not only did she follow the reclamation team to such a far place, but she also quietly found someone to marry in another place! This is going to **** me off!"

 Old man Xu knocked on his pipe and sighed: "She doesn't want to go home. She would rather find a stranger to get married."

These days, there are two types of people seeking marriage from outsiders: one is those whose family conditions are extremely poor and local girls are unwilling to marry; the other is those who have some problem with themselves, such as being silly, crazy, or severely disabled.

It is really difficult to find a partner locally for these two categories.

The woman is slightly better off than the man. At least the first point is not required, but the second point is also very troublesome, unless no bride price is required.

"I don't want to ask for anything if I really want to be silly, but our family is in good order and our people are hardworking and capable. As long as we don't make too much of the betrothal gifts, I'm afraid the strong young men rushing to come to propose marriage will not be able to do it. The line goes from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.”

 This is also the reason why Xu’s mother settled on the man so smoothly.

　　When mentioning her family Xu Yin, which young man in the village would not be tempted?

It just so happens that this **** girl got herself married without saying a word.

I don’t know how much bride price the man gave me.

You don’t want to repay even a penny, right?

Xu’s mother became more and more confused the more she thought about it.

 In order to make the marriage smooth, she spontaneously lowered the bride price to the normal level. Otherwise, with Xu Yin's conditions, if she adds ten yuan, she won't be able to get married.

It turned out that it was better for the girl to die. In the impoverished Beidahuang, she got married without much betrothal gift.

 What should we do now?

The family has already arranged a marriage for her, and all the bride price has been given to the groom's family.

 “Old man, what do you think we should do?”

 Old man Xu doesn’t know what to do.

He smoked a dry cigarette and said for a while: "If it doesn't work out, let Cui'er come back. She is still young. Find someone willing to accept three children..."

"If she is willing to come back, do I need to worry?" Xu's mother interrupted, "Forget it, I will go to the city again tomorrow and ask her."

How could Xu Cui be willing to go back to the countryside?

 She is at her employer's house, has food, shelter and a salary, and doesn't have to worry about three children. Her life is much easier than at her parents' house.

More importantly, she felt that her husband's care and concern for her seemed to go beyond the normal relationship between an employer and a nanny, which made her feel very anxious.

 Although the mistress treated her well, if... if...

"Tui'er? Tweet'er? Why are you so stunned?" Xu's mother interrupted Xu Cui's excitement, "What do you think of your father's proposal?"

"Not so good! Doesn't it cost money to raise a child? I will go home to take care of the child, so what will we, the four of us, eat and wear from now on? Mom, you and my father have to work harder, help take care of them! Every month from now on, I will It’s a subsidy for the family.”

“Mainly... this is not about subsidies!” Xu’s mother muttered, “It’s not like you don’t know your sister-in-law’s character.”

“Then let my little sister come back! Didn’t you send her a telegram? She still refuses to come back?”

　　When mentioning her youngest daughter, Xu’s mother got angry: “Don’t mention it, she got married in the wasteland. She said she wouldn’t come back until the Chinese New Year!”

"What!!" Xu Cui's voice suddenly rose an octave, "She didn't even discuss it with her family, so why did she get married in a place like that?" "Oh, you two sisters, one has a bigger idea than the other, I Your father and I can't control you anymore!" Xu's mother waved her hand, "Tui'er, you can either go home as soon as possible. If you really don't want to go back, your father and I discussed it and planned to ask the in-laws to see if they want to go back or not. Take your grandson over and we’ll put him up for adoption.”

　　　…”

 The mother feels somewhat uncomfortable when her biological child is given away for adoption.

Xu Cui opened her mouth and was about to say something when the male host's steady voice like a subwoofer came from the room: "Xiao Cui? The tea hasn't been brewed yet?"

 “Hey, here it comes!”

Xu Cui turned around and responded, lowering her voice and saying to Xu's mother: "Mom, you and dad can figure it out! I'm very busy here and don't have the time to worry about this."

　　　…”

Xu's mother returned home exhausted, and waved her hand to the old man: "Don't ask, it's still the same! The girls are not staying in the university, one or two, and their hearts are not at home. According to me, it is really possible to put her up for adoption. "

 Looking back at the three sleeping children lying side by side, the old couple felt very reluctant to part with them.

Xu's mother scolded her little daughter who was far away in Beiguan again: "Damn girl! If she hadn't made her own decisions, how could there have been so many things!"

 “A sneeze!”

Xu Yin sneezed unexpectedly, scaring away the pheasant that was about to step into the trap.

 “Ouch!”

She slapped her forehead in annoyance.

"What's wrong?"

 Cheng Shaojin came over carrying a hare.

Today is his day off, so he came to the reclamation point early in the morning to see Xu Yin.

Xu Yin felt bad when she saw that every time he came to help her clean the room, wash and dry her room, or accompany her to open up wasteland, she simply asked for a day off this time to take him around the mountains.

This forest was the place where she saved him.

 Revisiting the old place feels indescribably cordial.

Cheng Shaojin proposed to have a picnic here instead of hunting rabbits. Xu Yin dug a temporary trap and cleaned it to catch a pheasant.

Unexpectedly, a sneeze scared the pheasant away.

“It’s okay, the rabbit is quite fat, enough for both of us to eat.”

Cheng Shaojin neatly processed the rabbit meat, put it on a sharpened wild fruit tree branch and grilled it over the fire.

Xu Yin asked him to make a few cuts on the rabbit meat with a dagger, then took out the spices that came with him, sprinkled them and roasted them, flipping them and roasting them for a while. Then he took out a small bottle of wild honey and brushed the rabbit meat with clean leaves.

 Cheng Shaojin watched her tinkering with a smile.

Xu Yin raised her head and glanced at him: "Why are you laughing!"

 “You quite understand.”

“Of course, food is the most important thing for the people!”

 “Don’t take it out and use it when there are outsiders in the future.”

Xu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was too bourgeois.

“I know. Isn’t this a reward for you coming to accompany me regardless of the weather every time I have a vacation, and being busy like a snail girl?”

 “Snail man.” Cheng Shaojin corrected him seriously.

 Xu Yin didn't react for a moment: "Huh? What?"

“I’m a man, how can I be a snail girl?”

 “Pfft…”

Xu Yin was amused by him and stuffed a handful of wild raspberries picked on the road into his mouth:

 “Yes, yes, my snail man!”
