Quick Travel: The Long Road to Resurrection

In the Red Flag Brigade, team members are given a half-day rest during the Dragon Boat Festival every year. This year's Dragon Boat Festival was too busy, so the production team did not have a rest.

While everyone was having dinner, they heard the loudspeaker in the team shouting: "Members of the Red Flag Brigade, listen up, we will have a rest tomorrow morning, and we will have a half-day rest tomorrow morning."

Xu's

Mrs. Xu muttered: "Just in time, I'll go to Lao Li's house tomorrow."

Old man Xu had long heard his wife tell him that his granddaughter had fallen in love with the boy Shengli, so he naturally knew why she would go to Li's house tomorrow.

He nodded and said, "If you can achieve great things, don't force it if you can't."

After that, I went for a walk outside.

Xu Zhongcheng didn't understand what his mother and father were talking about. He asked, "Mom, why are you going to Lao Li's house?"

Mrs. Xu glanced at Xu Xinxin and said, "How do you think that boy Shengli is a good match for our Xinxin?"

Xu Zhongcheng originally thought that Li Shengli was tall, good-looking, and a very energetic young man.

But when he thought that his beautiful eldest daughter was going to marry his son as his wife, everything went wrong.

"I don't like it. Boy Shengli is too recruiting, and our Xinxin is too honest." Xu Zhongcheng said angrily to everyone.

Xu Xinxin became unhappy when she heard this, and glanced at her father with a resentful look, thinking that if you don't like it, I will, and it's not like you married Brother Shengli, so I just like it.

Next to him, his wife Lihua couldn't help but stepped on him secretly. As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.

"Mom, if you want me to see that boy Shengli is very good, he only earns 18 yuan a month! Which young man in our production team can earn so much money a month? Besides, if it's not good, why do so many people want to marry him, Lao Li? Go home, I will go with you tomorrow." Xiang Lihua said with excitement.

When Xu Zhongcheng saw his family, he couldn't help but said, "No, let's vote by a show of hands."

After saying that, he kicked his son Xu Xiangrong and threatened him with his eyes to agree with him.

Ten-year-old Xu Xiangrong is a kid. He thinks it is a good thing for his sister to marry Brother Shengli, and he doesn't care about his father's threats.

"Hey, I also think Brother Shengli is good." Xu Xiangrong winked at his father.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Xu Zhongcheng and said, "It's better to ask Xinxin, lest she blame me for worrying so much."

Xu Xinxin nodded and said, "Of course I am willing."

After saying that, she lowered her head, her face turning like a ripe red apple.

The next day

Mrs. Xu put on unpatched clothes and walked to Li's house with her daughter-in-law.

the other side

Li family

The Li family sat under the crabapple tree to have breakfast. It was Li Kaiqi who came up with the habit of eating breakfast.

The parents of the Li family feel sorry for their daughter. How could they not want to? Besides, their son can get a salary of 18 yuan a month. Most of the time, it is white rice porridge with pickles, or vegetable porridge with corn tortillas. The family can afford an extra meal.

Knock knock knock——

There was a knock on the door, and Li Kaiqi stood up and opened the door. When she saw it was Mrs. Xu, her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law, thinking that the relationship between the two families was usually good, she hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

"Hey, what are your family's three meals today?" Xiang Lihua glanced at the white porridge and pickles on the table, swallowed her saliva and said.

In these days, most families in the countryside only eat two meals a day, so the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't eat breakfast either.

The Li family couple hurriedly stood up and said, "Aunt Xu Lihua, come and have something to eat together."

"How can you be so embarrassed!" Xiang Lihua said she was embarrassed, but she sat down honestly.

Father Li and Mother Li thought they were being polite, and they had to be polite before responding. Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family was quite down-to-earth. The two families had a good relationship. The Xu family even sent new cucumbers the day before yesterday, and they didn’t know how to do it. Care about this bite or two.

Mother-in-law Xu felt that her daughter-in-law was rude and agreed immediately, which was an embarrassment to her family, so she gave her a cut.

Seeing Mrs. Li taking two bowls from the kitchen and filling them with a full bowl of white rice porridge, she couldn't refuse.

After everyone had eaten, Li Kaiqi collected the dishes and went to wash them.

Mrs. Xu got straight to the point and said, "Xiazi, what do you think of our Xinxin's victory?"

This Xu Xinxin can be regarded as someone they grew up with, both in character and appearance.

However, they are not old feudal people who would ignore Li Shengli's life-long decisions because of their parents' orders.

Mother Li opened her mouth to praise and said, "Xinxin is a child that we have watched grow up. He has a good appearance and a good personality. It is easy for him to say that he is worthy of Shengli."

Before the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could say a few words of modesty, Li's mother added: "After all, it is a lifelong event for the child, and we are not good parents. Let's make a decision on their behalf. I will ask him what he means when he comes back from the holiday this Saturday."

As soon as Li's mother finished speaking, the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly put it down their throats and swallowed her modest words.

Then Mrs. Xu stood up and said, "Then wait until Shengli comes back, and you two will ask him what he means. Anyway, our Xu family is convinced that we have won."

After saying that, Xu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left gracefully.

Li Kaiqi was listening to the conversation in the kitchen and couldn't help but sigh that her eldest brother was so lucky.

The old couple of the Li family were afraid that their son would not want to do it.

From now on, it will be so embarrassing for the two families to look up but not look down.

As soon as the Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the door of their home, they saw Xu Xinxin lying at the door and looking anxiously.

Mrs. Xu secretly cried out, her granddaughter looked like she was already in trouble, she was afraid that as long as Li Shengli dared to say that he didn't like her, the girl would be unable to think about it anymore.

Just as they sat down to take a breath, they heard Xu Xiangrong ask: "Mistress, when will my sister marry Brother Shengli?"

Mrs. Xu knocked her grandson on the head and looked at her granddaughter who was eavesdropping.

I thought, it would be better to let her know, so as not to do something stupid later.

She said to Xu Xinxin: "Your Aunt Li said that she will decide for herself when she wins. You have to prepare for the worst. If someone doesn't like you, let's just pretend it's nothing and don't make trouble with the Li family."

Xiang Lihua echoed, "It's the best if you can, and forget it if you don't. There are so many good guys, and he's not the only one, Li Shengli. We'll find a good one when the time comes."

Xu Xinxin's eyes immediately turned red when she heard this.

She said firmly: "I just like Brother Shengli. If he doesn't like him, I don't want anyone else."

"Go and cook quickly, we have to work in the fields in the afternoon!" Mrs. Xu said to her.

Seeing Xu Xinxin going into the kitchen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, my old lady is really confused and did something stupid." Mrs. Xu said with a sigh.

Xiang Lihua is not so pessimistic. Is it possible that she is afraid of leaving such a charming daughter at home?

"Mom, don't think too much. Our Xu family's daughter is still afraid that she won't be able to get married. If Victory boy misses Xinxin, where can he find someone better than her?"

Mrs. Xu originally thought that Xinxin was smart, but unexpectedly she followed her father's stubborn temper.

For a moment, I was extremely torn. On the one hand, I wanted Saturday to come soon, but on the other hand, I didn’t want to think about Saturday.
