Reborn in the 1970s, picking up a man to raise a son

Chapter 24 Little Potato Goes or Stays

The mute grandma is dead! The only worry is the child Xiaotuo.

Death is the most important thing, so Li Dahe ordered the villagers who came to quickly decorate the mourning hall.

Everything will be planned after the mute mother-in-law is laid to rest.

Although the people in the village are often quarrelsome, most of them are still kind-hearted.

Looking at the shabby state of this home, it is obvious that there are no belongings at all.

In order to carry out the funeral smoothly, Li Dahe mobilized the villagers to pool money.

It wasn't until early the next morning that I finally bought a thin wooden coffin and placed the mute old woman's body in the coffin.

This era is quite special, and grandiose events are taboo, so we can only have a hasty funeral.

Originally, Su Xinlan definitely had the ability to deal with the mute mother-in-law, but in order not to cause trouble, she still held back.

Next is the question of how to place the grandson of the mute mother-in-law.

The villagers were willing to pay for the funeral of the mute mother-in-law because they only paid once after the person died.

But if you raise a child, it doesn't cost a fortune. It's not just money, but also energy.

Most people will do this.

Therefore, when the captain asked who should take care of Xiaotuo, no one stood up.

In the end, Su Xinlan couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to the captain in private and wanted to adopt Xiaotuo.

As soon as Su Xinlan said these words, Li Dahe was very puzzled, "Su Zhiqing, you are only a child, how can you raise another child of several years old?"

"Captain, I just feel that Little Potato is so pitiful. Otherwise, before I find a suitable home in the village, I would have asked him to follow me first. It just so happens that the place I live in is relatively large, and there is room for him to live. Moreover. I'm okay at work, but I'm just taking care of my food, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Li Dahe thought about it for a long time, "Okay! Little Potato, let him go home with you first. I'll see if the mute grandma's house can be sold later. I'll give you the money and use it as his food money." "

In this way, Xiaotuo was taken home by Su Xinlan.

It took many days for the villagers to learn the news.

All of a sudden, those seven aunts and eight aunts started talking again.

It is said that Su Xinlan, a little girl, actually adopted a child, and she was really overestimating her capabilities.

Some people also say that Su Xinlan, an educated youth from the city, is really stupid.

Others said that Su Xinlan must have some ulterior motive for adopting Xiaotuo. However, this view was quickly overturned. Little Potato and the mute grandma were so poor that there was nothing else to gain from them.

Rumors in the village fade as quickly as they come, and will be forgotten in ten days and a half.

It’s just that everyone who had previously thought about Su Xinlan had given up their idea. Who would be so stupid as to find someone with children as their daughter-in-law?

Su Xinlan didn't care what outsiders thought, so she placed Xiaotuo in another room.

In fact, I originally wanted him to live in the same room as me, but I was afraid that it would cause other people to gossip. Fortunately, Little Potato has been very courageous since he was a child, and he is not afraid even if he sleeps alone.

Su Xinlan took out another mat in the space to cover Xiaotuo, and then took out two thin quilts prepared by her mother to cover Xiaotuo.

Nowadays, making quilts is an urgent matter and must be carried out.

While chatting with people, I finally found out about an aunt who was good at making quilts and clothes.

Su Xinlan also made insinuations for a long time, and finally felt relieved after confirming that this aunt was relatively upright and kind-hearted.

The cotton flesh in her space doesn't want others to know.

After finding an evening when no one was paying attention, Su Xinlan carried a backpack like last time, which contained cotton quilts, two sets of quilt covers, and a piece of cotton suitable for making clothes. She planned to make two more cotton-padded clothes, one thin and one thick, for Little Potato to avoid the cold in winter.

When she arrived at Aunt Qin's house, Su Xinlan knocked on the door and shouted twice.

Aunt Qin was cooking in the house at the moment, when she heard someone calling her outside the door, so she walked to the door and opened it to see what happened. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a little girl with a backpack standing at the door.

Aunt Qin recognized this girl at a glance as the extremely capable Su Zhiqing, and had no idea what she was doing when she came to her home.

"It's Su Zhiqing, come in quickly."

Su Xinlan followed her into the house, did some housework for a while, and then told Aunt Qin her purpose, "Auntie, just call me Xinlan. I heard that your needlework is very good. This is not the time for me to go to the countryside. I was too anxious and didn’t prepare a thick quilt. Yesterday, I received some quilt-making materials from home, so I thought I’d ask you to help me make them. In addition, I’d also like to ask you to make two cotton-padded clothes for Little Potato, one thin and one It's a thick piece. I don't know what you need, so I prepared two kilograms of brown sugar and a pack of fruit candies. Keep them." After saying that, he took out the top pack of brown sugar from the backpack and handed it to Aunt Qin. Then he took out the quilt cover, fabric and cotton stuffing and put them on the chair in the room.

Aunt Qin looked at the brown sugar in her hand, her eyes burning. Brown sugar is a rare thing. Her little girl is about to give birth to a baby, so she can just save it to give to her. However, he was polite and said, "Su Zhi, Xinlan is too polite. I can do these small jobs for you in a few days. Why don't you leave? Stay at home and have dinner before leaving." .”

"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you, but I won't eat it. There are still small potatoes at home, and he is still hungry waiting for me."

After saying that, Su Xinlan stopped Aunt Qin who was about to send her off again and left the Qin family.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family heard the commotion and came out of the house to check, "Mom, who is here."

"The new Su Zhiqing wants me to make her two thick quilts and two children's cotton-padded jackets. No, she gave me the brown sugar and fruit candies. This Su Zhiqing is really good, and she is good-looking. , your heart is still kind, and things will happen again. Boss and daughter-in-law, please take more care of me in the future, this Su Zhiqing is a good friend."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, named Xingfang, looked at the brown sugar and fruit candies on the table and felt that what her mother-in-law said made sense.

"Boss, wife, don't touch the brown sugar. When your little sister is in confinement, give this brown sugar to her. As for the fruit candy, you share one-third of it and take it back to the house for the children to sweeten. ."

Xingfang was not the kind of person with short-sighted eyes, but when she heard that her children were also a little moved, she obediently divided a third of the fruit candies and returned to the house.

There is no need to elaborate on how happy the children of the Qin family are to eat sweets.

When Su Xinlan returned home, she saw Little Potato waiting outside the door.

"Xiao Tudou, why don't you wait in the house? There are so many mosquito bites outside!" After saying that, he took Xiao Tudou's hand and took him into the house.

"Xiaodou, you will live with your sister from now on, are you willing? Even if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do! This is the mute mother-in-law's instructions, you must listen!"

"By the way, I've never asked you, do you have any other names?"

"No, sister, my name has been Little Potato since I was a child."

"Well, let's do this. My sister will give you a name. You will take her surname as Su from now on. As for the name, what do you think of You'an? Mute Granny hopes that you can grow up safely. You will be called Su You'an from now on, okay? ?”
