??Chapter 71 Delicious
??Xu Shiyan didn't know why the Wu family changed their minds. In his previous life, Xu Shide's marriage went smoothly and there were no such troubles.
??But he knew that it would be very difficult to deal with this matter now.
??Because Xu Shiyan clearly remembered that Wu Qiuyan entered the house on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and gave birth to Xu Haiyang in the sixth lunar month of the following year.
?? At that time, it was said that the child was born prematurely, but Xu Haiyang gave birth to more than seven catties, which was not premature at all.
??If this is the case, at this moment, Wu Qiuyan already has goods in her stomach.
??What year is this? In 1977, the folk customs were not so open yet.
??The two slept together before they were married, and they were pregnant with a baby. Not only the woman would be ashamed, but the man would be ashamed as well.
?? Moreover, once the woman retorts that the man is playing hooligans, the result will be even more terrifying.
??Xu Shide would be caught and squatted on the fence if he was light, but if he was heavy, he might eat peanuts.
??Of course, the Wu family should not be so ruthless, and probably just want to take advantage of the opportunity to get more benefits from the Xu family.
??Otherwise, they would just come here directly, and they wouldn’t let the matchmaker send a message asking for so many things.
?? "Father, don't hit him. What's the use of hitting him when things are at this point? Find a way to solve it."
??Xu Shiyan sighed, he really didn't want to come back, as soon as he got home, he would have all kinds of troubles, is it so difficult to calm down and live his life?
?? "How can I solve it? One hundred yuan dowry, two turns and one sound, smashed my old bones, and our family can't afford these."
??Xu Chenghou was stopped by his sons, the broom bump in his hand couldn't reach the fourth child, so he simply threw it over, hitting his son on the head.
?? "The money was just divided in the Gregorian calendar year. Excluding the two of you, the four strong laborers in the family plus your mother, the total is only about 600 yuan.
?? Take it to him as a daughter-in-law, our family can't make it through? "
??The Xu family has a lot of labor and a lot of food. There are more than a dozen people, old and young, and the rations are several thousand catties a year.
?? After deducting the food from the work points, it can be converted into six or seven hundred yuan, which is really a good day.
?? "Fourth, you should go to the Wu family now, have a good talk with them, and ask what the Wu family thinks.
??The conditions put forward by their family, let alone our big house village, even if they go to the commune, no, even the county, there are not many families that can meet it. "
?? "If their family doesn't want to get married, they should make it clear as soon as possible, don't be so embarrassing.
??If their family still wants to marry their daughter, they should talk about it carefully, and make a fuss after the wedding date is fixed, and spread it to make outsiders laugh. "
??Xu Shiyan thought for a while, and suggested that Xu Shide go to Wu's house to find out.
?? It is not suitable for others to come forward. Anyway, Xu Shide is getting married. This **** has done everything that should be done and should not be done. He can't hide and not show up when things come to an end, right?
?? "Huh? Let me go? Can it work?" Xu Shide hesitated.
?? "Isn't it always the matchmaker who talks about marriage? How can I talk about it myself?"
?? "Aren't you going? If you don't come forward for your own marriage, who will come forward? What's wrong? You still want our parents to come forward?
?? Get out, hurry up, and come back after clearing things up. "
??Before, Xu Shiyan had a low status in the family, his father didn't like him, and his brothers looked down on him, so he didn't speak harshly.
??It’s different now, he’s moved out and lived a different life, and he’s living a pretty good life, his back is tough, and of course he speaks hard.
?? "Well, I think what the third brother said makes sense. Fourth brother, you should go to Qingling immediately.
??Tell the Wu family that they want a bride price of 100 yuan, and I can give it with a gritted teeth, but I can’t get anything else, we can’t get it. "
??Xu Chenghou pondered for a while, and felt that this was the only way at present, so he immediately ordered Xu Shide to go to Qingling.
??Xu Shide was filled with displeasure, but there was nothing he could do.
?? I had no choice but to put on my coat, hat and gloves, and went straight to Qingling to talk to the Wu family.
?? "Oh, yes, I brought back a lot of meat, and it's all in the yard."
??Xu Shiyan just remembered that he had half pulled the sledge, and they were all placed in the yard.
?? "The fourth child is going to get married and have a banquet. I thought about the fact that there is not much meat in the family. I have been doing a lot of work these days, so I wanted to come back and use it for the fourth child's wedding.
??Old Five, come and move with me, tidy it up and keep it for use. "Xu Shiyan said, got up and walked out.
??The three brothers of the Xu family were all sitting in Beikang, and when they heard this, they hurried out.
??The others couldn't sit still any longer, and went out to watch the excitement. Take a look outside, good guy, put two sacks on the sledge.
?? "What's all this? It's all meat?" The whole family was dumbfounded.
??How many things did the third child row and pull on the mountain this winter? I often send it home, and today I got two sacks back?
?? "Not all, there are some pine nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, grape cakes, dried jujubes, sugar plum cakes, mountain red skins, and sorbets.
?? It was all made by Yingzi when she was idle on the mountain, and kept it for Lao Liu and the children to eat.
??The rest is wild boar, black blind, deer, roe deer meat.
??Anyway, this winter has really been busy, I left some favors, and brought the rest to my family. "
?? These two couples are restless people, and Su Anying is doing all kinds of things when she goes up the mountain.
??She can't hunt, but she can pick walnuts, hazelnuts, mountain grapes, sugar plums and so on.
??The mountain grapes were boiled into cakes according to Xu Shiyan's method and then dried in the sun, and the soft dates were directly dried.
??Ripe sugar plums are rubbed with a sieve to get powdery pulp, steamed with some starch, kneaded into small cakes and dried, which can also be used as snacks.
??Peel off the skin of the sorbet, thread it on a thread and hang it to dry.
?? Dried until half-dried, put it in a pot to steam, and then take it out to dry after steaming, it is pear tuozi.
??Sorbee meat is sour and astringent, it is not delicious to eat directly, but it is dried into pear lumps and steamed with water, but it is sour and sweet and delicious.
??In the era when there were no snacks, these things were the children's favorite.
?? It’s just that most people don’t have the time to do it. Autumn is too busy to take care of the autumn harvest. Who cares?
??Su Anying followed Xu Shiyan up the mountain, and she didn't need to do any work, so she did these under Xu Shiyan's guidance.
?? "Oh, sister-in-law three, you are the best, get us so many delicious food."
??Xu Shiqin became happy when he heard that there were so many snacks.
?? Several younger ones also came to Su Anying's side. The third aunt was the elder and the third aunt was short, which made Su Anying so confused.
??Zhou Guilan was also very happy. She walked up to the sledge and carefully looked at the things in the sack.
?? Then he instructs his son to put all kinds of frozen meat in the warehouse, and take the rest of the snacks in the house.
?? Things were unloaded from the sledge, and the family happily returned to the east house.
??Zhou Guilan grabbed a few handfuls of food from the bag, and asked Xu Shiqin to take the children to Westinghouse to eat, where the adults talked.
?? "Third brother, the team divided up the money a few days ago, and the money of the two of you is here with me."
??Zhou Guilan got up, found a stack of money from the cabinet, and handed it to Xu Shiyan.
??Xu Shiyan and his wife got a lot of work points. In addition to food, they also shared more than 100 yuan and some tickets.
??Xu Shiyan directly took out one hundred and stuffed it to his mother. "Mom, the fourth child is getting married. I don't have much ability. That's all I can do to help."
