706: Uneasy Spring Festival (1 More)
Sister Chen's question is rare.
Regardless of whether it’s a divorce or a bereavement, the old saying goes that if it’s going to rain, a mother can’t stop her from getting married. You don’t have to ask Xia Xiaolan’s opinion to be a matchmaker for Liu Fen. The tradition in China has always been that children’s marriage should be based on their parents’ opinions. coming.
But now that running has entered a new era, the tradition should also change. The situation of Xia Xiaolan's family is different from others. Whoever calls her the top student in the college entrance examination, this daughter is equivalent to someone else's son. Sister-in-law Chen must communicate with Xia Xiaolan in advance. ventilation.
Everyone in the village thought that Xia Xiaolan's new house was built with the help of Liu Yong.
Xia Xiaolan, the top student in the college entrance examination, is afraid that it will take a few years for her to be successful. In this way, they feel that Xia Xiaolan can be the head of half of the family.
Xia Xiaolan herself wanted to support Liu Fen's remarriage.
It's not limited to city people or country people, it doesn't matter if they have money or not.
Xia Xiaolan hadn't nodded her head before Sister Chen's question, when Li Fengmei heard the movement and ran over: "Sister-in-law, why did you tell Xiaolan this! Come on, let's talk in the room."
Li Fengmei probably knew what Xia Xiaolan was thinking, and did not give Xia Xiaolan a chance to answer.
Li Fengmei felt that although her niece grew up in the countryside, she didn't seem to know much about the rural environment, so she said that Uncle Da was pressing down in the village. She was more united on the surface, and there were no major conflicts. If Xia Xiaolan dared to say that conditions don't matter, tomorrow many people will bring all kinds of men with crooked melons and cracked dates home!
What is the condition of the sister-in-law, outsiders do not know Li Fengmei but know very well.
They have all been divorced once, otherwise don't look for them. If you want to look for them, look for a good one. If you want to find an inappropriate one, Liu Fen might as well continue to live by her daughter. The mother and daughter are not short of money or housing. It's comfortable - it's really troublesome to find one in the countryside. After the new year, Liu Fen will go to the capital to open a shop. He also has a house in the capital. After that, he will go back to his hometown at most once a year, and bring a blind date man to the capital?
Take one, if the other party is widowed, in addition to not having a wife, there are seniors and juniors, and you take your family to the capital?
Stop teasing, this is just causing trouble for Xia Xiaolan.
Li Fengmei dragged Sister-in-law Chen into the house, and after talking for a long time, Sister-in-law Chen came out, but Xia Xiaolan refused to keep her for dinner. Xia Xiaolan felt that Sister Chen's face was not very good, "What's wrong with Aunt Chen?"
"It's okay!"
Li Fengmei looked innocent.
Liu Fen, an old scalper, couldn't take time to clean up when he returned to his hometown, and didn't know what happened.
Grandma Yu put down her job and tsk tsk, "It's a big New Year's Eve, running into someone else's house to lose face, worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family."
The New Year is always happy, but Grandma Yu felt that there was something wrong with Sister Chen. She heard that the village chief Chen had helped Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen a lot. Xia Xiaolan was the one who remembered her the most. I was afraid that if someone helped her with three points, she would give back seven points, and she would never let the village chief's family suffer.
If this is the case, Mrs. Chen doesn't know what's wrong. She dared to tell Liu Fen about her marriage, but she was rejected by Li Fengmei, and she lost her face?
It's tiring to clean up the house today, Liu Yong's house didn't open fire, separated by a wall, they all ate at Xia Xiaolan's house.
Liu Yong held the bowl and looked around, as if everyone knew what was going on, only he and A Fen didn't know!
"Eat all, and talk when you're done."
Meat was brought back from the city, and vegetables like potatoes and radishes were given by neighbors.
Liu Yong is going to go around the county town tomorrow. The New Year's goods are not enough. Anqing County does not know if he can still buy meat. If not, he can only buy chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in the village to deal with.
"Isn't there still dried seafood from Uncle Tang? It's okay to eat that during the New Year."
That's right, there are also the dry goods sent by Mayor Tang. When they arrived in the Shangdu, Xia Xiaolan divided the goods into two parts. Li Fengmei was embarrassed: "I can't do those things..."
Liu Fen will not do either.
Southern Henan is the Central Plains region, which does not originally produce seafood. The only perception of seafood by farmers in the countryside is "kelp".
It’s useless to eat them. They can eat and can’t cook, especially dry goods. They don’t know how to soak them.
There are old people and treasures in the family, but fortunately there is still Grandma Yu, who swims in the water, flies in the sky, and runs on the ground. There are probably not many that Grandma Yu has not eaten.
"This dried abalone is fine. Now soak it in clean water and change the water twice a day. It will be almost ready for use on New Year's Eve."
How to do abalone, how to do sea cucumber, Grandma Yu can tell the truth.
Xia Xiaolan can't do it, it's almost the same for her to taste.
After dinner, soak up the dry goods, and the family can sit and chat around the fire. From the provincial capital to the countryside, after a long time of tossing, Liu Zitao went to bed after snacking at his age. Anyone who was awake could listen to what Li Fengmei said. She opened her mouth and said it directly:
"Afen, Sister Chen is here to be a matchmaker today. Have you ever thought about what kind of man you want to find in the future?"
Liu Fen was not mentally prepared, and was stunned by Li Fengmei's question.
Looking for a man?
Why is she looking for a man, where does Xiaolan go, where does she follow. She is not as useless as before. Now she can help Xiaolan, and she is also learning about opening a store. In the future, when Xiaolan gets married and has children, she can take care of her by her side. Liu Fen never thought of being separated from her daughter for a long time.
Remarriage means marrying into another man's house.
Then how do you take care of her daughter!
"Sister-in-law, I-I'm not going to look for it again..."
She was a little panicked, afraid that Xiaolan would think about it, but she turned her head to see Xia Xiaolan's eyes clear and smiled at her. Liu Fen's panicked heart
She calmed down all at once, she knew that Xiaolan would not think she was a burden, even if she didn't plan to remarry, there were still daughters who could rely on her.
Liu Yong also felt that it was not a problem to find a man or not.
"Sister Chen has nothing to do with matchmaking."
Liu Yong murmured, what kind of person is there in this country, and if you find someone like Xia Dajun, you will be mad. Not to mention that his niece is powerful, his younger sister A Fen is more capable than before. Even if the mother and daughter have difficulties in life, Liu Yong can also help.
If it wasn't for Ah Fen's willingness to marry, Liu Yong would have supported Liu Fen to live alone.
The whole family has reached an agreement, and Li Fengmei didn't say anything about the conditions for a man to be kissed by Sister-in-law Chen. Since Liu Fen doesn't have that idea now, it's enough to reject Sister-in-law Chen.
Before going to bed at night, Grandma Yu held Xia Xiaolan:
"Cun Chief Chen's daughter-in-law is an outpost. You don't like the marriage she said. I don't know how many people will come."
Xia Xiaolan was speechless, "Is it okay to say that my mother doesn't want to remarry?"
After returning home for a year, Xia Xiaolan hopes that the situation that Grandma Yu said will never happen. Early the next morning, she knew she was wrong, Jiang was still old and spicy, and people had come since she ate breakfast.
Xia Xiaolan was still telling Liu Fen that when everyone despised the mother and daughter, the old Wangtou in Dahe Village looked at the cowshed, and the old Wangtou borrowed a flashlight for them to go to the reeds to look for wild duck eggs. Now that the mother and daughter are financially well off, they will send Lao Wangtou some rice, noodles, oil and grain during the Chinese New Year.
"Afen, are you at home?"
Xia Xiaolan didn't know much about the woman who spoke, so when she heard Liu Fen call her sister-in-law, she would just call her auntie.
It's what this aunt said, which is a bit unpleasant.
