In the 70s of the book, the cannon fodder wife took the script of the richest man

As one of her brothers, Sun Yuying, the wife of Yu Haichao, the third wife, and Ma Yu, the wife of Yu Hechao, the second wife, looked at each other and went over to help Yu Qiu in unison:

"Niece, you can't be resurrected. Don't cry yet. Clean it up before you get hard. You can't go there in such a dirty state. Your second aunt and I will accompany you."

Yu Qiu leaned miserably on Sun Yuying: "Third aunt, wuwu, I have no mother, wuwu, I have no mother!"

Although there has been disharmony between the grandmothers and sisters over the years, now that she is dead after all, she can let go of everything.

Sun Yuying couldn't help but shed tears. While comforting Yu Qiu, she promised to help arrange Luo Luoying's funeral arrangements.

Zhang Caifeng also came, and as the women's director, she comforted Yu Qiu.

Yu Qiu wiped her tears at this time and said: "Oh, Director Zhang, there is one more thing I forgot to ask you. When Yu Xiaosong was in class today, he did not raise his hands when urinating and wet his pants. I asked him to go home by himself. To put it another way, he didn’t come to class after returning home. I heard that Yu Laogen’s family was also buried. So, where is Xiaosong?”

Zhang Caifeng was shocked.

Sun Yuying's face turned pale. She immediately put down Yu Qiu and ran to ask the old woman with small feet from before: "Madam Jiu, you, you just said that you saw someone walking by with an umbrella at the back window. What kind of umbrella was it?"

Grandma Jiu pursed her lips, but her words were very clear: "It's black, it should be made of foreign cloth. It looks really good. I took a look at it several times!"

Zhang Caifeng came after her and couldn't believe what she heard, but Yu Sui was the only one in the village who had a black umbrella.

Seeing Sun Yuying's mouth open and unable to speak, Zhang Caifeng quickly helped ask Grandma Ninth: "Grandma, are you dazzled? Can you see clearly?"

Grandma Ninth was very unhappy: "You can't see clearly! My eyesight is very good. I thread the soles of my shoes myself. Did I ask you to help me? It must be a black foreign cloth umbrella, but I can't see the human face." , the umbrella was blocking it, and I heard people talking."

Sun Yuying grabbed her arm: "What did they say? They said they went out to play, right?"

"Oh, you pinched my old bones until they fell apart. I was just looking at the umbrellas and didn't hear much. It seemed like they were asking why I didn't go to school. One of them said I won't tell you or go out to play."

Sun Yuying suddenly collapsed on the ground.

Zhang Caifeng is still relatively sensible. The ninth wife's house is just in front of Yu Laogen's house. Yu Sui and Yu Xiaosong walked past her window. This can only mean that Yu Sui and Yu Xiaosong have arrived at Yu Laogen's house.

well!What kind of fate is this for Yu Sui? I never see Yu Sui and Yu Xiaosong playing together, so why did they get together before a landslide?

Zhang Caifeng felt very sad.

Indeed, as Yu Sui said, after what happened today, the members must have looked at her with admiration. She may really become the only female captain in the entire commune, but Yu Sui...

Zhang Caifeng stopped being sad and turned around and called on everyone to go all out to dig up Yu Laogen's house.

Sun Yuying sat on the ground and cried loudly: "Sui, my daughter, why did you run to Yu Laogen's house? Ah, if something happens to you, I won't be able to live!"

Yu Haichao came over lamely and picked her up: "Get up, let's go dig! If it's just buried, if it's still alive, dig quickly, dig!"

Sun Yuying rushed towards the landslide mound like crazy and dug desperately. She felt that the shovel was not fast enough, so she lay on the ground and dug with her hands.

Brigade Secretary Zou Zhiqiang walked quietly to talk to Zhang Caifeng:

"Oh, this is really... A few days ago, Xia Linsheng came to the brigade headquarters and told me that it has been raining, and people in Linshan should pay attention. He is the company commander and has been seen outside a lot. I really listened to his opinions. , so we have been telling several production teams that we need to strengthen the rocks as a precaution.

Fortunately, they were reinforced, so nothing happened to the fourth team, the fifth team, and the two production teams. But now, something happened to his partner, and it caused a big fuss!It's buried so deep, I'm afraid... you should send someone to notify Xiaoxia. I will go to other production teams to mobilize people to help, and I must give them an explanation. "

Zhang Caifeng nodded silently.

She was a cadre now and had to take responsibility. Even if she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, she still held back and asked Xia Dongping to inform Xia Linsheng.

They were all in the same brigade. As Xia Linsheng's cousin, Xia Dongping immediately ran to her parents' house to find Xia Linsheng.

Xia Linsheng has been feeling unhappy these days.

His father was in poor health and his mother was his stepmother. His biological mother died of illness when he was ten years old.

The stepmother, Li Afen, is also from the brigade. She has been married for more than ten years and has given birth to a younger brother and younger sister. She is always polite on the surface.

Because of this, Xia Linsheng wanted to get married, thinking that he would also give his stepmother some face, so as to avoid getting along with Yu Sui in the future.

On the day the wedding was scheduled, he gave his stepmother 100 yuan and said that the wedding would be held on October [-]st. If the man needed anything, he would ask Li Afen to take care of it.

100 yuan is enough to hold a decent wedding in these days.

Li Afen smiled brightly when she took the money, but she didn't even mention that she wanted to "give life" to the woman.

(Sending days is similar to asking for dates in the ancient Three Books and Six Rites. In some places, it is also called sending the sun or mentioning the day.)

After all, Xia Linsheng was a young man and he really didn't understand the details of marriage. But after Sun Yuying mentioned it, he became wary and asked these things in front of his father Xia Xiangdong when he returned home.

At that time, the family was having a meal. Li Afen held the rice bowl and said, "Isn't it going to be done on October [-]st? She just went shopping a few days in advance and prepared the vegetables."

Xia Linsheng asked: "Aren't you going to do the 'send off' thing?"

Li Afen: "Huh? Do you want me to do the 'send off'? You didn't tell me."

Xia Linsheng: "Didn't I tell you that you should take care of the wedding? 'Sending off the day' is not considered a wedding matter?"

Li Afen said boldly: "Hey, Lin Sheng, you didn't say this. I don't know. If you want me to do it even as a 'day gift', 100 yuan is not enough. How about you give me another twenty and I'll do it tomorrow." Go ask someone to steam cakes, buy candies and red paper!”

Xia Linsheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Well, then, mother, give me the previous hundred first, and I will wrap a larger red envelope for you, so as not to make it heavy and unlucky."

Li Afen was not prepared at all.

The cheap son has been doing very well in the past few years. He sends money back every few months, takes good care of his younger brothers and sisters, and is very polite when he comes home from family visits.

Probably because of this, Li Afen felt that it was okay to take this opportunity to collect some more Xia Linsheng's money.

Li Afen went to the room and took out a red envelope from before: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. We don't pay attention to it. There is no need to waste red paper."

Xia Linsheng took back the red envelope and smiled faintly:

"That's right, our family doesn't need to pay attention to these things. I have been frugal in the past few years and have sent home as much as eight hundred instead of one thousand. Now that I am getting married, I have to spend my own money to ask my parents to do it. , probably not in the entire commune. Since my parents find it inconvenient for me to have less money, then I will organize the marriage myself."
