MTL - The Sweet Stepmother and Her Cute Cubs-Chapter 2
When the father and daughter arrive home, dinner is ready.
Today is the second sister-in-law Zhang Chunying cooking, still sweet potato rice with less rice and more sweet potatoes and little cabbage with no oily smell.
Zhang Chunying likes to be spicy, so when she cooks, she will put a little dry chili to taste, and add a few drops of white vinegar.
Just as I was about to start dinner, I heard someone shouting from outside the door:
"The captain's house, is anyone at home?"
Sister-in-law Liang Hongmei and sister-in-law Zhang Chunying looked at each other. Isn't this the voice of matchmaker Xu? Could it be that…
When Su Xiaoxiao's mother Li Yufeng heard this voice, she couldn't wait to walk out the door: "The door is not locked, eldest sister come in quickly."
Not long after, Li Yufeng led a middle-aged woman in her fifties with a mole on her left upper lip and a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Through the memory of the original owner, Su Xiaoxiao recognized that the person was the matchmaker Xu. It is said that the marriage in the 50-mile radius of the Su family village was most likely facilitated by her. In order not to smash her own signboard, she would take both parties' Only when the situation is clear will be introduced.
But since the incident of Su Xiaoxiao's failure to woo the educated youth and then jumping out of the well, didn't she walk around the Su family when she passed by? Why did you take the initiative to come to the door today?
"Chunying hurry up and add a pair of tableware and chopsticks, and let your Aunt Xu have a bite to eat." Li Yufeng ordered.
The matchmaker Xu glanced at the food on the table and waved her hands again and again: "No need, no need, I cooked my meal at home, and I have already rushed two of them. You are the last one. I quickly said that I will go home for dinner."
Matchmaker Xu didn’t have any appetite for the food at this table. She might even have two bites of scrambled eggs when she rushed home. She said that she was the captain and there were two workers at home. The conditions were not as good as hers, and the matchmaker Xie Li guessed that it would not be better Where to go, she wished that Widow Liu at the entrance of the village would become, but they promised to give her three yuan as a matchmaker to thank her.
"It's like this, there is such a person, a native of Zhoucheng, a soldier, very handsome, twenty-eight years old, widowed, with two sons, the elder is five years old, the younger is less than two years old, I want to find A literate person who can bring the baby back to the army, it is best to have a follow-up string that can be left after pulling the certificate, I think he is only a few years older than your Xiaoxiao, and he is a gentleman who is eloquent, come and ask."
When the matchmaker Xu finished speaking, she saw that the faces of the people in the room were not very good-looking. She couldn't help but pouted. This time is different from the past. Su Xiaoxiao used to be a family with women, now? She's old, has a bad reputation, and doesn't know how to do farm work yet, but who can think of her as a city person with some conditions?
Of course, she wouldn't say this in front of others, and she added with a smile:
"I know that your family Xiaoxiao has good conditions and high eyes, and the first place in literacy exams every year, but in our countryside, what's the use of being able to read? If you can't go to college, the man's condition sounds wronged to your family Xiaoxiao. , I just asked the same question. I can't recommend someone to graduate from elementary school when people ask for literacy. Isn't this my brand? At this age, the baby can basically make soy sauce."
Matchmaker Xu snorted coldly in her heart. She is old and has more demands. At this age, is there only a second marriage and a widower left?
Su Weimin, who kept his head down and said nothing, raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by chasing two families?"
Matchmaker Xu waved her hand: "I didn't just come from Widow Liu at the entrance of the village. People were rushing back to the army, and I was very anxious. I wish I could take it with me after the proof today. I don't have so much time to see each other family by family, so I will concentrate on it. I've found a few reunions, and it's the most important thing for both sides to see each other, so don't worry about that."
Su Weimin was so angry that he almost stood up and patted the table: "You..."
Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him, quickly pressed her father back and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Xu, what time and where to go for a blind date?"
Seeing Su Weimin looking like she was going to eat people, matchmaker Xu wanted to turn around and leave immediately. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao's attitude was quite good, she said a few more words: "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, the state-run hotel in the county town will return to Wujia Village in the afternoon. Someone is waiting, in short, he is bound to have one of them tomorrow."
Without waiting for the family to say anything, Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, thank you Aunt Xu, I will be there on time tomorrow."
After sending matchmaker Xu away, Su Weimin slapped the table hard with a slap, and with a bang, the tableware and chopsticks bounced, and both nephews were startled.
"This matchmaker Xu is simply sick! Our family Xiaoxiao, a big girl with a yellow flower, needs to be reduced to the point of going on a blind date with Widow Liu to become a stepmother? How many times a day, when she is the emperor of the earth and chooses the concubine? No, lol Lol you can't go tomorrow, this kind of person is not worthy of being a soldier, I will report him to the GE committee tomorrow!"
The two sisters-in-law rarely saw such a big fire from the father-in-law. They didn't even dare to breathe when they looked at each other. Li Yufeng hid aside and quietly wiped away tears.
After graduating from high school, the eldest brother Su Zhenzhong went to work in the town's food processing factory. He always loved his sister, but he was also very angry: "Xiaoxiao, don't go tomorrow, the eldest brother will go back to the factory tomorrow and ask colleagues to help you find it, I don't believe that you can find it on your terms. Not a good man who has never been married."
The second brother, Su Zhenhua, has always been soft-hearted. What the elder brother said, he was about to say something, when the second sister-in-law Zhang Chunying pinched her thigh, so she closed her mouth and lowered her head to plan rice.
Su Xiaoxiao had read some books or TV series of this era before crossing the road. I don't know if it was so-called artistic processing or the characteristics of the times.
But according to her observations these days, the old Su family is still very united and harmonious. There are three brothers and sisters. The two older brothers are about the same age as her, and their sons are already in primary school.
My eldest brother and sister-in-law are classmates. After graduating from high school, I was admitted to a food factory to work as a worker.
It's a pity that when Su Xiaoxiao graduated from high school, all the high school students in the city had to go to the countryside to exercise, not to mention recruiting farmers into the city as workers.
The second brother helped the family with the farm work before graduating from junior high school. The second sister-in-law was really introduced to the second brother by the matchmaker Xu. Zhang Chunying had never read any books, but she was quick in her hands and feet, worked diligently, and had a good brain. The second brother had soft ears. The second sister-in-law is a little bit stronger, but the two are still very compatible, and there has been no mischief after marriage.
It can be said that the biggest problem for the Su family at present is Su Xiaoxiao's marriage problem. Su's parents and Su's mother really have gray hair.
Lowering the conditions does not mean that they are willing to let their daughter marry a crooked melon.
In the past two years, matchmaker Xu has introduced objects whose conditions are not as good as one. Now even widows with children dare to introduce them. In another two years, they are not allowed to introduce to Su Xiaoxiao those widowers who can be her fathers in their teens or twenties? Can you not worry?
After all, Su Xiaoxiao comes from the 21st century, and her ideas are decades ahead. She believes that the most urgent task is to improve the living environment. After all, there are still several years before the reform and opening up.
It makes her feel uncomfortable to keep her trapped here. If she insists on finding a first marriage at this age, she will most likely only be able to marry a rural family that is much poorer than the Su family, so she can only learn from the original owner and invest in a well.
"Father, mother, eldest brother, I want to meet this person." Su said with a smile.
When everyone was about to object, Su Xiaoxiao continued: "You listen to my analysis first, and Aunt Xu should have arranged the matter of several people at the same time, so don't be angry, she is twenty-eight years old, her age is the same as mine. It’s just right. The requirement for literacy immediately thought of me, which means that I am still very literate in everyone’s heart. Shouldn’t I be happy?
Being able to bring family members to accompany the army, and also require the other party to be literate, the conditions are not too bad, at least it means that his own education is not too low, Dad, didn't you always dislike me before, and it's rare to have someone who requires literacy? It's okay to see you;
The matchmaker's mouth has always only magnified the other party's advantages, but obviously he only told the matchmaker Xu that he was a soldier with two children. steady and sure;
He is widowed, not divorced. To put it mildly, widow loss will save a lot of trouble than divorce. What you are most worried about is that he has two children, right? But father, mother, and matchmaker Xu have a saying that is quite right, who can match my age, which is not a child who can play soy sauce? Otherwise, the family is too poor to open the pot, really can't marry a wife, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the conditions of the person introduced by the matchmaker Xu will definitely not be as good as this. To starve to death, I would rather go and take children. "
No matter how avant-garde Su Xiaoxiao's thinking is, this is the characteristic of the current era. Turning over the actual age of twenty-four and the virtual age of twenty-five, this age is equivalent to Qi Tian Da left in the 21st century. If she never gets married, Even if she didn't jump into the well for the educated youth, she would be sprayed to death one by one.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Yufeng glared at her, "How could someone with hands and feet starve to death?"
Su Xiaoxiao hugged Li Yufeng's arm and said with a smile, "Is it because you hurt me and are not willing to let me do heavy work? I can only read and do housework, carry a load of peanuts and rice up to 100 kilograms, and plant rice. It really doesn't work."
The old Su family really loves their daughter. The father and two older brothers support a family with several mountains. Li Yufeng is a capable person.
When Su Xiaoxiao is not studying, she can help with light work as much as she can. Otherwise, why would she have so much time to study and get such good grades?
Li Yufeng glared at her and said angrily: "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't let you read so many books, and you wouldn't be dragged into an old girl by following me to work in the field since childhood."
Her daughter has never done heavy work at home, so how could she really be willing to marry her daughter to someone else's house to do heavy work?
Su Xiaoxiao knew that Li Yufeng had a heart of tofu, and she used to think about her daughter reading more. When she went to college and left the countryside in the future, she would not have to do farm work.
Such parents are really rare in rural areas.
It's a pity that good luck makes people.
Su Xiaoxiao's voice was soft, and she was very soft when she said with her eyes bent: "Mother, don't worry, the old girl also has a marriage with the old girl. Maybe it's not bad for me to meet a soldier. Anyway, let's meet first."
As soon as her daughter acted like a spoiled child, Li Yufeng lost her temper and looked at Su Weimin: "Master, what do you mean?"
After listening to the girl's analysis, Su Weimin's anger has subsided by more than half, and he thought about it carefully, "I heard the girl say this, this person doesn't seem to be too bad, so let's look at the person first."
Having said that, he still felt awkward when he thought that his daughter was going to be with Widow Liu.
Su Zhenzhong glanced at his sister thoughtfully: "My little sister has grown up, so she can analyze the problem in a proper way. I'll be with you tomorrow, eldest brother."
He always felt that something was different after Su Xiaoxiao was rescued by throwing into the well, but he couldn't tell. Could this be enlightenment?
Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief in secret, and shook her head again and again: "No, no, I'll just go by myself, I'll talk about it after seeing the right eye."
Fortunately, the Su family are all sensible people. In case she was married to the poor girl Leng Touqing for the sake of face, then she would really cry without tears.
