Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

What to do, Xu Nannan didn't know what to do. She knew that the old lady was trying to punish her, she was really moving.

This cruel old lady not only abused her granddaughter, but also wanted to ruin her life for the sake of some food. Xu Nannan refused to admit his fate, and turned around and shouted to Xu Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, take it back to the house first, close the door, and I'll go out."

"Yeah," Xu Xiaoman obediently responded, the big eyes on his little face full of worry.

Xu Nannan found that he had really thought about things too simple before.

Her treatment of the old lady is still the same as that of the bear children dealing with their parents in the 21st century. They are disobedient and rebellious. She ignored that Xu's family is different from those parents.

Parents are reluctant to harm their children, but the family can really kill their children.

"It's so stupid." Xu Nannan cursed inwardly.

At this time, every household was already working, Xu Nannan did not go to work, but went directly to Xu Gensheng's house.

I found a hidden place on the road and bought a can of rice noodles from Taobao. It was packed in a glass bottle. The taste was not milky, but I was very hungry.

"Aunt Dahong." As soon as Xu Nannan walked to the door of Xu Gensheng's yard, he saw Liu Dahong coaxing the child in his arms. Immediately there was a choked cry.

Seeing that she was here, Liu Dahong greeted happily, "Nannan, come in quickly. Why haven't you come to sit at home these days."

Since Xu Nannan took the milk powder to save her grandson's life last time, Liu Dahong's impression of Xu Nannan has not been much better.

"Auntie, you have to help me." Xu Nannan took out the milk powder in his arms and put it into Liu Dahong's hand. "Auntie, I don't need anything, I beg you to help me this time."

Along the way, Xu Nannan also thought about the fact that in this whole village, Xu Gensheng's family could help her.

Liu Dahong was stunned by her behavior, holding the rice noodles and saying, "This, what's the matter?"

"Auntie, my milk wants to marry me out. It's the son of a blacksmith's family, auntie, look at my age and let me be married. Isn't it killing me?"

"Huh, let you marry at your age? Your milk scared you." Liu Dahong's face was in disbelief.

Xu Nannan shook his head. "Auntie, everyone came to see her. It's a dark-skinned woman. The matchmaker called her Sister Liu, saying that she is a blacksmith at home. Even the bride price has been negotiated."

"Liu, blacksmith?" Liu Dahong frowned and thought about it, his eyes suddenly widened.

They are all people living in these ten miles and eight villages, and the situation of each household is clear. With this information provided by Xu Nannan, Liu Dahong knows who it is.

This is the home of Hu Tiejian in Dongshan Village. Tiesmith Hu is indeed an individual talent. When he made steel a few years ago, he even went to make bone steel. Later, there was no steel making, and every household started to use iron pots. This blacksmith Hu started his career again and lived better than others.

Moreover, his mother-in-law gave birth to two sons and twins. How many people envied them back then.

But the problem is that when the child was only full moon, the two children fell ill together. One child was gone, and the other had a fever and burned his brain. I heard that not only his head was bad, but his hands and feet were deformed.

This, isn't the old Xu family telling Nan Nan such a family? Didn't this harm the child for a lifetime?

"Auntie, do you know what?" Xu Nannan also saw that Liu Dahong knew about the family's situation, and the situation was very bad, so he immediately asked.

If the family is not good, she will be able to escape the marriage with greater certainty.

Liu Dahong nodded with a sullen face, "If it is really this family, then your old lady would be cruel enough."

Liu Dahong told Xu Nannan about the situation of the blacksmith Hu's house, and Xu Nan Nanyue felt that the old lady was really inferior.

As soon as Liu Dahong finished speaking, she immediately cried, "Auntie, you must help me, or else my whole life will be over."

Liu Dahong was embarrassed, "Nannan, I also pity you, but I can't control this matter, nor can your uncle root. Let alone your uncle root, even the cadres in the village and township can't control it. After all, no one can take care of other people's housework. Your milk also said, not to let you marry, but to raise it at someone's house. There is nothing wrong with this."

This **** is still hot, the old lady's trick is really cruel, no one can say that she is breaking the law.

Xu Nannan also guessed that Liu Dahong would definitely say so. He rolled his eyes and wiped his eyes, "I also know that this is definitely not easy to manage, so I want to go to the city to find my parents and aunts, can you let Uncle Gensheng give me an introduction to the city? Believe it. I have to find my parents in the city, or else...aunt..."

Before she finished speaking, she started crying first.

When Liu Dahong saw this, his heart softened. The hand holding the rice noodles is also soft.

Anyway, it seems that there is nothing wrong with a letter of introduction. Let's open it.

"Okay, don't panic, I'll go find your uncle, let him open a letter of introduction for you."

For the sake of rice noodles, Liu Dahong decided to do justice to help the poor little girl, thrusting the grandson in Xu Nannan's arms into Xu Nannan's arms, she immediately ran into the ground.

Seeing Liu Dahong going out, Xu Nannan curled his lips.

This time she had to find a way to let Xu Jiansheng and his wife and the old lady know that she was not that easy to provoke.

Xu Gensheng still listened to what his wife said, and soon followed her back.

Seeing Xu Nannan, he frowned and sighed slightly, "Nannan, it's not good for you to enter the city like this. You are not familiar with the place, what if something happens."

At this time, you have to open a letter of introduction when you enter the city, otherwise you can't even get on the long-distance bus. But not everyone can enter the city. Young girls like Xu Nannan generally have no chance to enter the city. So Xu Gensheng really didn't dare to open the letter of introduction.

Xu Nannan's aggrieved flat mouth, "Uncle Gensheng, I can't help it. I can't let my family follow into the city. If they find out, they will definitely lock me in the house. Uncle Gensheng, you are a thousand people. Be sure to help me."

"I said Xu Gensheng, can you please hurry up and see how poor Nan Nan is." Liu Dahong couldn't stand it anymore.

Xu Gensheng sighed, "Let's go, let's open the letter of introduction, then you wait, you have to stamp it later." I don't know why Lao Xu's family will be upset after they know it. Alas, this thing is not easy to handle. Who will give birth to a grandson in his family?

After the letter of introduction was opened, Xu Gensheng went to the village office to stamp it. Xu Nannan took the letter of introduction and hurriedly returned home.

At this time, there were no cars going to the city, and Xu Nannan was not in a hurry, and hid the letter of introduction well.

Things broke up, and the old lady didn't hide it anymore. After the family came home from work at night, the old lady told the whole family about Xu Nannan's going to someone else's house.

Grandpa Xu took a breath of dry cigarettes, "Did you talk to Jiansheng?" Grandpa Xu knew about this. He just thought about it, but he was still upset. No matter what I said, it was my own granddaughter who sent it to Tiejiang Hu's house, which will be difficult for the future. He didn't worry about anything else, but worried that the old couple would blame him in the future.

The old lady didn't care, "What's wrong, I'm her grandmother, and I can't call the shots anymore? Don't talk about her, even her dad is mine."

Speaking of this, the old lady became even more angry. She was responsible for the marriage between Li Jing and her son, and now she regrets it.

Third aunt Liu Qiao raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Nannan who was squinting for dinner, and then looked at the old lady, "Mom, Erya is so small, I wonder if I should wait."

"Wait, you can't bear her, do you want your plum to go?" Zhang Cuiqin suddenly exploded. "Mom, look at the third wife, you think you are wrong. What's the situation in the family now, no one in the family can eat enough? I heard today that the country has insufficient food this year and can’t send much food. How much food does this person have to eat."

As soon as she said this, the other people's faces changed a little strange, embarrassed, and a little guilty.

People in rural areas eat food distributed according to work, but when there is not enough food, it is impossible to get that much. Especially in the past few years, there was a shortage of food in the whole country, but it was better last year. It is not easy to just want to eat.

Just these few days, the family is still drinking miscellaneous grains. People like them have to do physical work. How can they be hungry if they eat a bit of glutinous food, and drink water when they are hungry at night.

The old lady also knew this year's situation, and Xu Nannan was disobedient, so she took the opportunity to find a husband's house for Xu Nannan, who could exchange food and eat less.

Everyone also knows this situation, no one has explained it, otherwise, their family has not really been said to be a wolf's nest. Who would have thought that Zhang Cuiqin's mother-in-law's mouth could be so fast, she said everything, and she was still in front of the child Erya.

"Pop!" The old lady put the chopsticks on the table fiercely, "What are you talking about one by one, I am completely for the sake of Erya. I can't eat at home, let her go to someone else's house to live a good life, this is Good thing, what do you think one by one." Looking at Xu Nannan again, "Er Ah, this is for your good. Although you are usually old-fashioned with me, I still love you in my heart."

Xu Nannan ate the contents of the bowl, and took the bowl and put it in front of the old lady, "Milk, Xiaoman hasn't eaten it yet."

The old lady gave her a scoop of muddy face, "This matter is decided whether you like it or not. You will thank the milk in the future."

Xu Nannan picked up the bowl to eat, and looked at the old lady with a smile, "Milk, I really appreciate you!" After that, he took the bowl and went out.

"Mom, look at her attitude." Zhang Cuiqin slapped the table unhappy on her face, but she was very happy in her heart. In the future, Erya was ruined, and Xiaoman’s virtue was also abolished. Xu Jiansheng and his wife would not have to rely on her family's Honghong and Leizi in the future. In the future, Xu Jiansheng's things will be left to her children. .

Liu Qiao glanced at her calmly, and pressed the corners of her mouth lightly.

In the evening, the family went back to the room to sleep with different thoughts.

In the western room, Xu Jianping and his wife lay on the bed and talked about it. Xu Jianping sighed, "Coincidentally, why do I think this is not right? If you really marry Erya, will the eldest brother blame us? ."

Xu Jianping's mood is a bit complicated.

He has no feelings for his elder brother Xu Jiansheng. After all, the eldest brother left home early, he and the second child Xu Jianhai grew up together, and the relationship is better.

But he didn't blame his eldest brother for neglecting his family. In his opinion, he is earning a living at home, his elder brother is earning a living outside, and his parents are in good health, and they are not allowed to serve as his sons. It is hard to say who owes whom. When the second child's family wanted to send the child to the city, he never thought about sending it. If it were not for his wife to cry in the quilt, saying that the child was wronged at home, he would not be happy to let his child be raised by others. So after the child was given to his elder brother to raise him at home, he felt that he owed something to the elder brother.

Now the old lady wants Er Ya to go to Hu Tiejiang's house, he suddenly feels a little guilty, thinking that the older brother will definitely blame the family when he knows about it.

Liu Qiao smiled and clicked his forehead, "This is not what we said, it was arranged by the old lady. Besides, I also spoke for Erya, but the old lady doesn't listen, what can we do? , Let the eldest brother talk to the old lady by himself."

Xu Jianping was right when he thought about it. Just at the dinner table, the family also said something fair to their daughter-in-law, and Zhang Cuiqin added fuel and jealousy. By the way, her family was kind.

Thinking this way, Xu Jianping felt balanced. Don't blame us for this matter, we have worked hard, but the old lady won't listen.

In the other room, Xu Nannan didn't sleep either, and talked to Xu Xiaoman about his plan.

Xu Xiaoman didn't dare to speak, and when Xu Nannan said something, she nodded.

"Xiaoman, this time my sister will not only not marry, she might even be able to let you study when she comes back. Let's go together tomorrow morning. I don't worry about you being alone at home."

She went to find Xu Jiansheng in the city, and she must wait a day before returning. If she leaves, the old lady will definitely come to ask Xu Xiaoman, she can't let Xu Xiaoman fall into the clutches of the old lady.

Xu Xiaoman firmly said, "Sister, I listen to you." In this world, the best for her is her sister. She wants to be obedient.
