Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

In the Xu family, Mrs. Xu’s favorite daughter-in-law is the third daughter-in-law Liu Qiao, and her favorite son is definitely the second son Xu Jianhai.

The old lady thinks Xu Jianhai is like him, smart and smart. Old ladies often say that this is a good pot with a broken lid, which is wrong.

But who made Xu Jianhai like a woman like Zhang Cuiqin? Xu Jianhai felt that to find a woman, he had to find a stupid one to show his ability as a man.

So right now, Zhang Cuiqin had done something stupid, and Xu Jianhai also patiently explained it.

"Look, Liu Qiaoye didn't find a chance to make Erya and Siya feel bad. Isn't it because of her children?"

Zhang Cuiqin was still thinking whether he was really doing something wrong. After hearing Xu Jianhai’s good things about Liu Qiao, the jealous jar was suddenly overturned, "Do you think Liu Qiao is better than me? The old lady likes her, you I like her too. Why didn’t you look for her and come to me? I’m telling you, I couldn’t understand Erya, so I wouldn’t let her get better. Hey, why are you the son of an old lady? He Xu Jiansheng and Xu Jiansheng Li Jing can live a good life in the city, we have to live in the hometown, haha."

She just couldn't understand Li Jing's appearance in the city. After all, her family is more decent than Li Jing's family. Just because of the shabby appearance of Li Jing's family, why is Li Jing better than her.

"I said you mother-in-law, why don't you make sense, turning around makes mom unhappy, it's up to you." Seeing his wife's disobedience, Xu Jianhai felt uncomfortable, and reached out and clicked on Zhang Cuiqin's head.

Zhang Cuiqin hummed and waved his hand away, "Mom won't protect her. Just wait and see, this Erya will still be of great use in the future."

Without Zhang Cuiqin stirring up by the side, Xu Nannan had a much easier morning. Aunt Osmanthus also took good care of her and asked her to do some light work.

"I said Nan Nan, it's not the same thing as you go to the ground all day long, a good little girl, what do you have to toss like this way?" Song Guihua whispered when she was about to call for work.

Xu Nannan rubbed his sore shoulders, "Aunt Osmanthus, I don't want to, but if I don't work, my milk will not give me a mouthful. Just in the morning, I drank a bowl of rice soup."

"This old lady..." Song Guihua was a little bit grumbling when she heard it, but this old lady still had some prestige in the village, and no one wanted to offend her. Being an outsider, he couldn't manage the affairs of the old Xu family.

She frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Why? If your parents come back this time, you can tell them if you can get something rare. Then let the captain do a good job for you."

Xu Nannan opened his eyes, "Is there still a good job in our village?"

"You don't know about that. In addition to going to the ground, we have to go herding the cattle and work on the farm. This is all work. But compared to these, the work points for going to the ground are more. But you A child can’t earn many work points even if he goes to the field, so he might as well go to the farm and have a rest after finishing the work.”

Xu Nannan really didn't know that there were these bends. The original owner is an honest person, and he does whatever he wants, and doesn't think too much. So except for the Xu family who let her work in the field, she didn't care about anything else. So the information left to Xu Nannan is not very useful.

She doesn't know much about this era.

"Aunt Osmanthus, can this be useful? Uncle Gensheng doesn't care much about it." She had already noticed that Xu Gensheng was a bit soft-tempered. As soon as Zhang Cuiqin lifted the old lady out, he immediately retired. . Looks unreliable. What if you don't do anything if you collect things?

Song Guihua smiled, looked at the side secretly, and saw that no one was paying attention, she leaned over and said, "Don't look for Xu Gensheng, you look for his wife. Xu Gensheng is afraid of his mother-in-law." Speaking of the latter, Song Guihua couldn't help it. Covered his mouth and smiled.

Xu Gensheng is a good old man in the village, but his wife is a tigress.

Xu Nannan's eyes lit up, and he finally found a direction in his heart, "Aunt Osmanthus, if this happens, I, I will definitely remember your great grace."

"If you don't like me, I'll just talk about it. It depends on what good things your parents can get. You can say it well, if you are a parent, I must miss you too much."

Song Guihua still thinks things better, and doesn't believe that Xu Jiansheng and his wife will really ignore the children at all. But Xu Nannan was not optimistic about the couple at all. But you have to try it anyway. If she doesn't give it to her, she will buy it on Taobao. It's just that I have to use these two excuses later, and I feel a little unwilling.

Everyone went back for dinner at noon, and Xu Nannan followed into the house. But the house was deserted and there was nothing.

Zhang Cuiqin went to the kitchen hungry to see that there was no fire in the stove. The old lady didn't cook. She hurriedly was afraid of running into the yard and shouting into the house, "Mom, there is nothing to eat, I have to go to work later."

"What to eat, there is no old man in my heart, I am still waiting for you to do. I want to eat and cook by myself."

The old lady replied in the room.

Everyone suddenly widened their eyes and dared not say anything. The old lady asked to cook, but the grain is in her old man's house. How can we cook if there is no grain?

Come on, the old lady is angry, and the whole family can't eat.

Xu Jianhai looked at Xu Nannan with a face-stained face, "Er Ah, if you don't confess your mistake to your milk, what should you do if your milk is sour?"

Liu Qiao also persuaded, "Er, obedient. Your milk is an elder anyway, you admit your mistakes and you don’t lose. If you don’t eat, Si Ya does not eat?"

"Bad girl, I blame you for making the family hungry. Why did your mother give birth to something like a dead star you." Zhang Cuiqin sat down on the threshold, holding his belly with his hands.

Xu Nannan chuckles in his heart when he hears several people persuading and criticizing. The old lady is really clever, and now the whole family has attacked her.

If the original owner was a little girl, she would have been so scared to kneel and kowtow to the old lady. The whole family bullies a child, how come these faces are so big.

Xu Nannan couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Never mind if you don't want to do it, you can do it yourself, I'm going to see Xiaoman."

Let her admit her mistake, no way! She didn't believe that the old lady was really willing to let her precious son go to work hungry.

Entering the room, Xu Xiaoman had already sat up from the bed. After eating two full meals, her body seemed to begin to recover.

Seeing Xu Nannan coming in, Xu Xiaoman said in fear, "Sister, I just heard the noise outside, the second aunt seems to be cursing."

Xu Nannan closed the door completely as if he hadn't heard the noise outside.

"It's okay, the second aunt didn't make any noise any day, she is just such a virtue."

Seeing Xu Xiaoman sitting up, she walked over happily, "Are you strong?"

Xu Xiaoman nodded, "After eating what my sister gave me, I will have strength. I guess I will be able to work tomorrow."

This honest boy.

Xu Nannan squeezed her small face, there was not much meat at all, "Don't get out of bed when you are done, just stay in the room."

"Well, don't work, milk will curse."

"You haven't recovered from your illness. She has the ability to send you to the health clinic."

"but I…"

"Xiaoman, if you go to work, the milk must be wondering how you are doing well so fast, then won't you know about us stealing food? You know milk's temper, you will have to beat me to death by then. Want to watch me get beaten?"

"I don't want to!" Xu Xiaoman shook his head vigorously, wrinkling his thin yellow face.

"So what should you do?"

"If the illness is not healed, continue to sleep."

"Really smart." Xu Nannan kissed her on the forehead. This child is very malleable, and keeps working hard to make Xiaoman turn into sesame glutinous rice balls.

Xu Xiaoman ate half of the cake left by Xu Nannan. She is not hungry now, but Xu Nannan herself is a little hungry. Now in broad daylight, Xiaoman is awake again. It is not convenient for her to buy things in the Taobao store, so she can only wait.

After a while, Grandma Xu finally entered the kitchen cursingly.

Xu Nannan didn't go out to get bad, so he talked to Xu Xiaoman in the room, dipped in water to write on the table, and taught Xu Xiaoman to read.

Xu Xiaoman is nine years old, has not yet gone to school, and is illiterate. There are many people who do not study these days. Even if the conditions are better in the future, they will also be illiterate, but Xu Nannan refuses to accept his fate. She used to be an orphan, and she has been vying to get ahead. Now that she has become Xiao Man's sister, she can't let Xiao Man grow up so confused.

It was the first time that Xu Xiaoman was taught how to read when she grew up like this. My sister was always very busy before, and she didn't have time to rest for all the work she couldn't finish. Let alone teach her to read. She has studied very seriously and can't wait to memorize all the words at once.

But it may be due to malnutrition. Her memory is not good. Xu Nannan has taught many times, and she can't even remember her name.

Xu Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders dejectedly.

Xu Nannan looked at her depressed, and rubbed her head with a smile, "Xiao Man is already very smart, and the children of other people go to school and don’t recognize a few words. Let’s take your time. I’ll buy you stationery later. come back."

"Is it like stationery like the big girl?" Xu Xiaoman's eyes were bright. "The big girl said that it was brought back by a colleague from my dad's unit in a big city."

Xu Nannan's nose was sour, "Better than them." She decided to eat two less biscuits in the future and also buy a set of stationery for Xiaoman from Taobao.

Xu Nannan has been paying attention to the movement outside. The old lady's meal was done, so she let Xu Xiaoman rest and ran out to eat by herself.

The old lady was directing her daughter-in-law to serve food in the hall, and when she saw her coming out, she didn't get angry. "You white-eyed wolf, dare to come out to eat. I have to kill you today."

"Hit, when my parents come back, I will let them see what life I spend in the village." Xu Nannan stared.

The old lady's angry expression changed, she picked up her crutches and ran towards Xu Nannan. This old lady usually looks like she can't walk, she can walk like flying.

Xu Nannan immediately rushed out, "Help, the old lady is going to kill her granddaughter, captain, village chief, secretary, help."

"Nan Nan **** her milk, what are you going to do? If you don't eat at noon, why are you chasing children?" Song Guihua ran up first, followed by others one after another. At this time, everyone was eating at home, and the village was not big. Hearing the movement, they all ran over.

When Xu Nannan saw Song Guihua, he ran over and cried, "Aunt Osmanthus, help, my milk is going to kill me. She won't let me eat, saying that I will beat me when I eat—"

Grandma Xu didn't expect Xu Nannan to run outside directly, and she was still damaging her reputation in front of outsiders, so she almost couldn't stand still. "You, come here for me!"

Seeing Grandma Xu looking like she was about to eat people, the others couldn't see it.

Everyone knows what the two sisters Xu Nannan spend at home. It's just that the housework is not easy to manage. But it's out of nowhere.

Just let the child do the work, and he won’t even eat the food. Isn’t this killing the child?

"Auntie, Nan Nan works very often, so why don't you give it to me?"

"Yes, it is very hard for Jiansheng and his wife to raise children outside. How can he make his own children suffer this sin?"

"Everyone can't eat well in this trouble, and I have to delay work in the afternoon."

The old lady panicked for a while listening to everyone's accusations. She has been in Xujiacun all these years, where is something bad said. When the village officials saw her, they all had to call a lady.

The old lady felt that her face in her life was lost today.

Seeing the old lady's appearance, Xu Nannan felt no sympathy for her at all, but felt very happy. She is not the real Xu Nannan, and naturally she is not afraid of the old lady at all. The old lady values ​​fame and status, and the more she has to take the scandal of the Xu family to the outside world.

Although everyone knows everything about the old Xu family's troubles, but the blue sky and day have broken up, and no one can pretend to be ignorant.

When she wants to bring Xiaoman out to set up a house in the future, she will get more support.

"This, what's going on?"

A slightly surprised voice came from behind the crowd. The villagers let out the way when they heard the voice, and humanely said, "Jiansheng, you can come back and see what life your daughter is living here."

When Xu Jiansheng walked from behind the crowd, Xu Nannan also saw him. Just like the original owner remembered, he was a very tall and tough man, giving people the feeling of a tough guy.

Xu Nannan pursed his lips and sneered inwardly. People who can't even protect their daughters, let alone men, are not worthy of being human!
