Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Recently, no matter whether it is a market town or a grass market, the best selling items are men's money and Spring Festival couplets.

It’s a gift box filled with honey-fried croissant fruit that I give as a gift when traveling around New Year’s Eve.

The box made of stacked oil paper contains a variety of fried candies, which are then carefully wrapped in loose oil paper and tied with red string to form a cross. Not to mention how festive it is.

They are not cheap either. The cheapest dried cake costs eight cents, and the deep-fried candies cost ten cents.

Farmers usually buy two boxes, which is considered very respectable when visiting relatives and friends. Some families are reluctant to spend money and use their own fried dumplings as gifts.

"You can give it a try. It's just a few days away from the Chinese New Year. I think there's still a lot of oil paper at home. Maybe you go to town to set up a stall today. I'll fold the paper boxes you want to use at home first. We'll fold them tomorrow." Let’s go to Xujiaba and try to see if it sells!”

Liu Meixiang thought for a moment and said.

Hearing that the eldest sister said she wanted to stay at home, Liu Yu and Changsheng looked at each other. Although they were a little surprised, they thought that they would go to Wujiacun today to find out the news, and then they would have to find excuses to send the eldest sister away.

Before dawn, the fillings have been prepared and the dough for the pancakes has been mixed.

The three of them were all used to it, and their hands and feet were quick, and they quickly made more than two hundred cakes.

After a hasty breakfast, Liu Yu and Changsheng packed up their things and pushed the cart out.

In the past two days, Changsheng has been walking more steadily. If he doesn't walk fast, it is difficult to see the slope of his feet. The village is still some distance from the market town. Liu Yu is afraid that Changsheng's legs and feet will be tired again, so he insists on letting Changsheng sit on the bus.

In recent years, the grass market has become more and more lively, with more and more people going to the market, and the faces of the people rubbing shoulders are filled with smiles.

I picked and bought some things that I needed. Most of the children who came with me drank a bowl of float tea, or ate a sesame seed cake, or bought a piece of rice krispie treats or shortbread cookies to sweeten their mouths.

Liu Yu and Chang Sheng's stalls are still in their old locations.

Over the past few days, there have been many repeat customers. The freshly baked shortbread, whether it is brown sugar shortbread or sesame shortbread, is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with fillings that are filling.

It tastes quite good and very attractive.

In the middle of the morning, Liu Shan, Liu Fan and Liu Yan each carried a basket of winter bamboo shoots to sell. The winter bamboo shoots were crisp, tender and sweet, with little bitterness.

Whether it's stewed or stir-fried, it tastes great. The three of them first delivered it to restaurants and restaurants. If they couldn't finish it, they sold it in the grass market.

When it was about noon, Liu Yu and Chang Sheng had already sold 77 or 88 pieces of their shortcakes. Since they still had something to do, the remaining few didn't wait any longer. Liu Yu took out the oil paper and wrapped them up lightly. got up.

"Wait for us! We'll be back soon!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Liu Bushan opened his mouth to stop them.

"Brother, we still have something to do. Let's go first. If anything happens, we can talk about it later when we get home!"

It is better to do less than to do more. Liu Yu did not want to cause trouble before finding out what the Wu family wanted to do.

The two pushed the trolley and walked towards Shuangqiao Town. The two villages where Liu Meixiang and Liu Yunxiang were married were closer to Shuangqiao Town. People in the two villages usually went to Shuangqiao Town when going to the market.

Therefore, during the few episodes when Liu Meixiang and them set up a stall in Shangzhang Town, the Wu family did not hear anything.

At about noon, the two walked to Wujia Village. Liu Yu took out the oil paper bag from the car and handed it to Changsheng.

He told the location of Wu Ping's house in detail and asked him to be careful. If he was recognized, he just said that it was an adult who asked him to ask whether he had thought clearly about adoption or adoption.

"I know, it'll be fine!" No matter how violent the Wu family is, they are not gangsters and they can't defeat him.

Changsheng walked into the village with shortbread in his arms. The villagers who were serving food at the village entrance saw a strange face and all looked at him.

Seeing that Chang Sheng was hesitant and confused, the enthusiastic old woman stepped forward and asked whose relatives she was and who she was looking for.

"Auntie, it's like this. I wonder if there are still people in your village who want to adopt children. A relative of ours is poor and can't afford to raise so many children. We can't let him starve to death. We want to find a good family to send him out!"

The old woman looked Chang Sheng up and down and said with a smile: "I see that your clothes are brand new. Although they are not made of the best material, the cotton inside is also newly spun. I guess my family is well off, so why do you want to treat such a good baby?" When you give your child away, you should know that no matter how good others are, your parents will not care about your child as much as you!"

The old woman's eyes were kind, and the words she spoke made Chang Sheng's heart tremble.

Stabilizing his emotions, Changsheng smiled and said: "Auntie has good eyesight. This is a new cotton coat made by my family this year. It is also to make it look more decent when we meet each other when we get engaged. I don't know, auntie, this is the home of a cousin of mine. There is really no one in the family." Here’s a solution, ask me to find a good family from afar and say that we will never recognize each other again in this life!”

"It's best to be in a family that doesn't have a boy in the family. We also have some selfish motives. Such a family will treat the baby better!"

Most of the people who can eat at the entrance of the village are married women and husbands. The men avoid suspicion and hold bowls at the riverside to talk about the mountains.

When I heard the man in front of me saying that I wanted to find a family that didn't have a boy, I knew in my heart that the baby sent out was probably a boy.

Then a husband pushed a woman carrying a bowl next to him and said with a smile: "This is just the right time. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law only have one daughter. They haven't been happy in the past few years. Do you want to go home and ask?"

When Changsheng heard this, he quickly looked over and saw a woman with slender eyes and thin lips. She looked over with contempt. He heard that the eldest sister had a sister-in-law, but he didn't know if it was the woman in front of him.

Changsheng's eyes showed surprise: "Is it true? I dare to ask what the character of this family is like. Do they have the idea of ​​raising a baby? I'm not afraid of your worries. The child comes to our house once and has not lived a good day. We must never give him away again." When you enter the pit of fire, you are not afraid even if you are poor, people need tolerance and kindness!"

"There are so many unwanted children drowned in mass graves. Why are you so picky? My family is poor and my sister-in-law is tricky. She has not returned to her parents' home since she left. My eldest brother is naive and is being dominated by a vulgar woman. My mother-in-law is angry. He only has one breath left, if your family feels relieved, just bring him!"

The woman's thin lips opened and closed, and the words she spoke were as sharp as a knife.

When Changsheng heard her slandering Liu Meixiang in public, he knew in his heart that this eighty-year-old was the second wife of Ye.

He was extremely angry and snorted coldly: "That's all. A family that can force a daughter-in-law to go to her parents' house to avoid her in the new year has a bad family tradition. Everyone here knows what your sister-in-law is like."

After saying that, he imitated the woman's expression and looked over with disdain: "I think you wish your brother and sister-in-law had no children, so that all the wealth of the two families would fall into your hands."

"You said that your mother-in-law only has one breath left. Why don't you, a filial daughter-in-law, serve her soup and medicine in front of her bed? You curse the old man with empty teeth, and you are not afraid that God will hear it. You really take her away. What kind of intention is this!"

"you you……!"

The woman could never think of a well-dressed man who would care about a little woman like herself.

But when he saw that everyone was looking at him a little wrong, when he wanted to explain that his mother-in-law was fine, and he was afraid that the villagers would tell him that he was lying, his face turned green and red with anger without saying anything!

"Humph, I don't have the knowledge of a foreigner like you. After the Chinese New Year, my sister-in-law will be replaced by someone else. My family can't afford such an unvirtuous woman!"

Thinking of the handsome man's words of protection for Liu Meixiang, Ye was still furious.

What does it mean to replace the sister-in-law with someone else?

Not to mention longevity surprise!

The women and husbands present looked at the arrogant Ye in surprise.
