Chapter 243
Chapter 243
The old lady was stunned by Xianyu's words. She just mentioned it casually that time, but she didn't expect her son to have such an idea.
"Yuko, think about it carefully. Although it's a new era and it's not popular to be called a girl anymore, who would like to be a stepmother as soon as she gets married?"
"In my mother's heart, you are of course very kind, but our family's conditions are here."
Xianyu had already guessed that the old lady would not agree before that, but the old lady hadn't completely changed her mind. Now many people in the village call her mother, but in their family they still call her mother the same as before.
When Liu Chunhua first got married, she wanted to call her mother like those people, but it made the old lady a little angry.
"Mother, I also know our family's conditions here, so I don't want to delay others by getting married. It would be nice to pick up such a big son for nothing. Mother, you saved all the money you saved for my marriage before, and keep it for yourself to do the rebirth. clothes."
"Mother, look, how many years have you been wearing this dress?"
The old lady wanted to scold him, but she couldn't say it after hearing this, she could only sigh from the bottom of her heart, probably because her youngest son is still young.
"Adopting a child is not a trivial matter, you have to think clearly."
"Mother, I came here to tell you just because I thought about it. I remember that the child's father is good-looking, and the child must be right."
Xianyu didn't slow down the movements of his hands when he was talking, the faster he did it, the older lady could do less.
"Yuko, even if the child is not good-looking, it must be his own."
"Mom, I really don't have that idea, but I really can't live with my eldest brother."
These words made the old lady suddenly become silent. She had been wronged for the younger son before, but now the younger son himself expressed his dissatisfaction with the boss.
"Mother, I was afraid that you would be annoyed by too many things, so I didn't tell you. That night when I came back from repairing the dam, I heard my sister-in-law tell my brother that my brother has worked so hard for so many years, and it's just me going there once. It must be intentional. Go a second time."
"How could she have the face to say such a thing!"
If she hadn't said that she was afraid of thunder, the boss wouldn't have coaxed the youngest to go for him, and would actually bite back here after it was over.
"You wait for mother to think about it, it will take some time for the child to come back."
The old lady's refusal attitude is not as strong as before, but she still feels a little bit uneasy in her heart.
She thought her son was good, but in fact he was just average in the village. How could it be possible for a girl to become a stepmother as soon as she got married? Who doesn't love her girl.
She also just mentioned that it is indeed a little early for Yuko to get married at this time, regardless of his age. He himself does not want to be bound by the family early, and the old lady can understand.
But on the contrary, he wanted to separate the family. For those who have no family and no children, no matter where they go to separate the family, it doesn't make sense.
"Mother, you are not afraid that I will forget my mother after marrying a daughter-in-law like my elder brother. I will be filial to you for more than two years."
The old lady rolled her eyes and urged her younger son to go back with her.
"Mom, you cook the pig food, I'll go to work first."
Cooking pig food is indeed easier than going to work, and the old lady with a leisurely mind also understands that before arriving home, the old lady said something in a low voice.
"Actually... If you can really live a good life, there is nothing wrong with forgetting your mother. I still have your father."
The old lady didn't want to hold the child all the time, she just wanted the child to live well.
The boss should have a good job, but her elder sister asked someone to help arrange it. If you do it slowly and wait for a few years, you will definitely get ahead, and it will be more stable than earning centimeters, and you will follow the normal path.
But when that man heard that the boss was going to marry the woman who had abandoned him and ran away before, he felt that he was confused, so he let it go.
"That can't be done, I can't forget my mother."
As soon as she walked into the yard, the old lady saw that the door of the boss' room was still closed, and her face collapsed.
After Xianyu went to work, the old lady was chopping pig grass there. When the chopping was almost finished, the door of her eldest son's room opened, and Xian Jianguo came out.
"Mom, I want to go to work in the afternoon, but I really don't have the strength, can you get us something to eat first?"
"Don't take what I say on deaf ears. If you do it, you will eat it. If you don't do it, you will have nothing."
After finishing speaking, the old lady went out with her things on her shoulders, regardless of whether the two were happy to go, after feeding the pigs in the brigade, she went to the field to plant rice seedlings. come over.
After finally surviving until it was getting dark in the afternoon, Liu Chunhua's face was pale, standing there feeling dizzy, as if she could faint in the next second.
The people who finished work saw this scene and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"
"My mother doesn't give Chunhua anything to eat, she's so hungry."
When the person who asked this question heard the answer, he clapped his hands and leaned over to look carefully.
"Oh, how can you be so hungry? Your mother is really cruel. Even if she doesn't like Chunhua, she shouldn't even give her food."
The old lady who was walking back with her things heard what they said behind her back, walked towards this, glanced at the guilt on his elder son's face, and said with a cold face: "Yes, I am really ruthless, my Yuko I asked him to come to work before he recovered from his illness, and the boss and his daughter-in-law who have hands and feet don't go to work, so I have to provide food and drink?"
"Mom, let's talk when we go home."
Xian Jianguo felt that he couldn't hold back his face, and hurriedly wanted to stop him, hoping that his mother would save him some face for the sake of so many people outside.
"You said it outside, why should I not say it outside?"
That night, the old lady still cooked porridge with coarse grains, as long as it could fill her stomach.
"Mother, you made dumplings last night, and Chunhua didn't even take a bite."
After the old lady finished the porridge by herself, she washed the bowls of the three of them. Looking at the two people who were still eating there, she said, "Wash the bowls yourself after eating. If you don't want to wash them, you can use this to eat tomorrow."
Because of what Yuko said during the day, after the door was closed at night, the old lady was arguing with her old man. The house must be divided, and she felt that she was angry with them every day.
"Yuko is indeed not too old. He doesn't want to get married and start a family now, but he wants to separate."
The old lady was worried that the child was not her own, and their family would not be filial to the child after they were raised, but the old man felt good about it.
"I know you've been thinking about that person before. Back then you wanted to give that child some food when you were hungry. Now that he's gone to protect his family and country, he wants to find someone to adopt. Yuko also has the same idea. Why can't you do it?"
The old lady had been shaken before, but now after hearing what the old man said, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not bad.
"Do you think Yuko is still young now? Why do I think Yuko is frightened by seeing his sister-in-law?"
After the old man finished saying this, he pulled the quilt and fell asleep, leaving the old lady sitting there alone worrying. Now the fear for a while is understandable, it can't be like this all the time.
The next day was still cooked by the old lady, Xianyu felt that his body had fully recovered, and he got up after hearing the movement outside.
"This will be free soon."
Seeing that it was her youngest son coming in, the old lady handed him an egg, and casually mentioned something.
After transplanting rice seedlings, other sowing is not as tiring as this one, which is considered a rest for her.
"Mother, when will the child come back?"
"I heard from the captain yesterday that it happened in the past two days."
The longer she thought about it, the more the old lady felt that it was a good idea. After all, apart from their family, no one would be willing to adopt the child, so she couldn't let the child go home and leave.
"Yuko, have you really figured it out? From now on, those outstanding girls may not be able to look at you."
Her son is not outstanding in anything, and with a baby, if a girl who is good enough to have more choices really falls in love with Yuko, the old lady will wonder if the girl has bad eyesight.
"Mom, I think clearly enough."
"That's fine, I'll go and let the captain know first."
The child was sent back within a few days, and the team leader informed them on the radio to gather. When everyone was standing there, Xianyu could see a little boy in army green clothes sitting on a stool.
"Comrade Xian sacrificed himself to protect his family and defend the country. Everyone must know about it. Unfortunately, his wife also died, leaving only a child who was less than four years old. I would like to ask if anyone in our village is willing to adopt him. he."
Although the word had been faintly heard before, it was not as shocking as hearing it.
After the captain finished speaking, the people below whispered to each other. In the noisy environment, no one wanted to stand up.
The captain was a little bit embarrassed when he saw this scene. At first, he wanted to find a suitable family to adopt the child, but looking at it now, it would be great if he could find someone to adopt.
Xian Si'an sat there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, the captain saw the child's appearance, walked over and patted his head to comfort him: "Don't worry, I will definitely find you a home. "
"Uncle, no need."
Before coming back, his father's comrade-in-arms came to him and said that if there was no suitable one, he would go back. Wen Si'an didn't want others to adopt him, he wanted his parents more.
"Kid, don't worry, this must be someone's."
The team leader emphasized it again, saying that those who are willing to adopt this child can make it a fixed one who takes turns to raise pigs.
At the beginning, there was a quarrel over who would do the job, but in the end it was decided that each household would take turns.
Even if there is this as a temptation, no one wants to have an extra mouth in the house, and it is not worthwhile to calculate how much food they will eat in a year, and then think about the benefits.
"Captain, can you look at me?"
