Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Xiao Xiangxue put down his things, sat up on his buttocks, and gasped: "Sister-in-law, there are so many people in Haishi, they're squeezing me to death, it's like squeezing oil."

Even one of the new shoes his mother made for him was squeezed out.

Looking at his bare right foot, he said, "Sigh, I don't know if I can find it."

"Don't look for it. You can't find it." It had been picked up long ago.

"I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative later to buy a pair."

Xiao Xiangxue shook his head vigorously, "That won't work. I can't just come here and ask my sister-in-law to spend money. My mother brought me the money."

We haven’t seen each other for a few years. Xiao Xiang has become more educated and stronger, and he seems to be much calmer and more sensible.

Xiao Xiangmei finally pulled Zhang Changming out of the crowd.

Zhang Changming has grown a lot compared to three years ago, but his figure is still thin, and his face is red due to the heat and exercise, but it has a little more color.

"Let's go home first."

Meng Xiaoman said, picking up a snakeskin bag.

"Sister Xiaoman, let me get it. Don't get your clothes dirty."

The bag had been on the train for a few days and was stained with dirt.

"It's okay, the clothes have to be washed."

Seeing Meng Xiaoman carrying away her bag, Xiao Xiangmei picked up the package at Zhang Changming's feet and carried it on her back.

Xiao Xiangxue glanced at her resentfully and murmured in a low voice: "Humph, you don't feel bad about me. Where are my two bags?"

Xiao Xiangmei glared at him, "Changming is not in good health. You are as strong as an ox, so you still need my help?"

Xiao Xiangxue glanced at Zhang Changming, who was fair and handsome, and had a premonition that as long as he was around, his position in his sister's heart would drop one place.

Meng Xiaoman called a rickshaw and took her luggage back home. "Go home to rest and have a meal. Then I will take you to a guest house nearby."

In several large packages, in addition to food and clothing for the three of them, there were also many things for Meng Xiaoman.

Xiao Xiangmei said while taking out the introduction, "My brother asked me to bring these two dried rabbits, the pheasant was brought by Brother Tiezhu, and the linden fungus and dried mushrooms were brought by Brother Erlei and Brother Dongliang." Yes, they are collecting dry goods in the village and selling them in the county, such as walnuts and chestnuts. Some of them were given by Grandma Fang’s sister-in-law Zhou, and some were given by my parents. "

"By the way, there are also a few kilograms of black sesame seeds. My mother asked you to use them to squeeze sesame oil."

Originally, her mother had asked her to bring a pair of live pigeons, saying that Meng Xiaoman was good to the three siblings and could not be ungrateful. The squabs were very nourishing and could be stewed for An An to eat.

As a result, they were rejected by Xiao Xiangmei and his brother.

The car was so crowded that people were almost squeezed to death, let alone the pigeons.

On the other side, Zhang Changming also took out some things, which Grandpa Zhang asked Meng Xiaoman to bring.

There were walnuts, wild chestnuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms, fungus, and dried bamboo shoots all over the ground. I don’t know how they carried them all the way. They were still sitting on hard seats.

After four or five days of traveling by mule cart, car, and train, the three of them smelled like pickled vegetables.

After putting things away, Meng Xiaoman took clean towels, soap, and bath tickets, and asked them to go to the public bathhouse to take a bath first.

Xiao Xiangxue looked at the white soap and felt embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, we can just use soap locust. This is great." He and Zhang Changming, two grown men, use such fragrant things, and think about it. awkward.

"It's okay. Wash them clean with soap. By the way, these are Xiangdong's shoes. They may be a bit big. You put them on first and go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon to buy new ones."

Xiao Xiangmei glared at him, "Why are you busy with so many things? If you don't want to use it, just dry clean it and give it to Changming!"

"Ha, partiality!" Xiao Xiangxue curled his lips, and for those who didn't know, he thought Chang Ming was her biological brother.

After taking a bath and changing their clothes, the three of them looked like human beings.

Xiao Xiangmei wiped her hair and complained to Meng Xiaoman, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, when I entered the bathhouse and passed by the mirror, I felt like a beggar. It's so boring."

"No, it's still clean with soap. I feel like I lost two kilograms of dust after taking a shower!" Xiao Xiangxue said with a smile.

Before, he thought it was too girly to use soap, but now he feels slippery and fragrant, and he likes it.

"Whoever didn't want to use it before will be slapped in the face now."

"I don't want to use it, I just can't bear to use it."

Xiao Xiangmei was too lazy to argue with him and went to play with An An.

She fell in love with this white glutinous rice dumpling as soon as she saw it, but it was too dirty and she was afraid of being smelt. Now, she could finally play with her safely.

In the past, she had fantasized about how beautiful her third brother and sister-in-law's child would be, but now she saw that it was cuter than a New Year painting doll, with big, watery black eyes that made people cute just by looking at them.

Xiao Xiangxue always liked to follow his sister, so he also went to tease An An.

Zhang Changming followed Meng Xiaoman to the kitchen.

"Sister Xiaoman, is there anything I can do?"

Meng Xiaoman was not polite to him, "Help me choose the celery, I will use it to fry the dried fungus later."

Seeing that she was still as easy to get along with as before in Qinghe, Zhang Changming calmed down and picked up some celery to wash.

Meng Xiaoman let Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li rest today, so there were no outsiders at home.

Chef Meng Xiaoman, Zhang Changming and Grandma Wu helped, and a table of dishes was quickly ready.

Blanched chicken, stir-fried pork, steamed crab, pan-fried small yellow croaker, stir-fried clams, stir-fried fungus with dried celery and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

Looking at a table of dishes, the eyes of the three young people were slightly red. Sister Xiaoman really treated them well.

Xiao Xiangmei couldn't help but lick the corner of her mouth and looked at Meng Xiaoman, "Sister Xiaoman, this is too rich."

Meng Xiaoman added a large bowl of white rice to everyone, "I'm here to cleanse you from the wind, don't be polite, just go ahead and eat."

Seeing that they were embarrassed to use their chopsticks, Grandma Wu smiled and persuaded, "Eat, kids, she won't be able to eat enough with this little food."

Meng Xiaoman knew that Grandma Wu was trying to liven up the atmosphere, so she also added: "No, you can still eat every day. My sister is also a person who has made progress now."

Only then did the three of them move their chopsticks.

After eating dry food for several days, the three of them were already very hungry, but they still tried their best to maintain their dignity and did not gorge themselves for fear of embarrassing Meng Xiaoman.
