Aunt Guihua said excitedly, "He's here a long time ago. If he hadn't been delayed in the past few years because of being a soldier, his child would have been born."
Sister-in-law Hongying nodded and sighed, "I don't know which family's girls are lucky."
Aunt Osmanthus Osmanthus, "I just don't have such a young daughter, otherwise I would have to take Qingshan's mother to have a good chat."
Song Yingwan smiled and said, "Auntie thinks very highly of him!"
Aunt Guihua, "That's right, they are all children who have been seen since childhood, and others know their character well."
……
Song Yingwan just treated this matter as gossip. After all, it had nothing to do with her, but she still had a good impression of this person.
Song Yingwan was composing a new article at home this afternoon. Her writing career was now booming, which gave her great confidence. If nothing unexpected happened, she would stick to this job.
As soon as she finished typing the draft, she heard Tang Xiaotang's voice coming from the door. After putting away the pen and paper, she opened the door and went out to take a look. In addition to Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue, Xu Xiuyu also came over.
She thought that the few people were just here to chat and relieve their boredom, so she asked Tang Xiaotang to move some chairs with her. The sun was quite good at this time, neither cold nor hot, and it was just right to sit in the yard and enjoy the wind.
Seeing this, Xu Xiuyu quickly stopped her, "Ying Wan, stop working. I just want to talk to you today."
Song Yingwan was stunned for a moment, feeling that these words were a bit strange, and glanced at Tang Xiaotang and Yang Xue.
Yang Xue shrugged. In fact, the two of them were also called over by Xu Xiuyu.
Song Yingwan suppressed the doubts in her heart and said with a smile, "You have to sit down when you talk. Let's sit down and have a good chat."
Xu Xiuyu thought for a moment, then spoke again with a soft smile on her eyebrows, "Actually, I'm here to say goodbye to you today. I'll be leaving in two days."
Song Yingwan was stunned, "Leave?"
Before she could figure it out, she heard Tang Xiaotang stumbling next to her and said, "Xiu, Xiuyu, although we are very tired after work every day, but as long as we persist, we will definitely be able to return to the city. Don't I can’t think about it!”
The words came out with a bit of urgency in his voice.
Song Yingwan and Yang Xue had not thought about this at first, but when they heard Tang Xiaotang say this, their expressions immediately changed, and they said eagerly, "Sister Xiuyu!"
"Sister Xiuyu!"
Seeing that their thoughts were getting more and more wrong, Xu Xiuyu quickly explained, "What are you thinking about? I just want to leave Liujia Village."
Tang Xiaotang was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Go, where are you going?"
Xu Xiuyu smiled faintly and said, "If we go to a far away place, we may never see each other again in this life. You are my best friends in Liujiacun, so I want to come over and say goodbye to you."
Then she opened a cloth bag that she brought when she came and took out three red scarves from it, "I don't have anything to give as a gift. These are the scarves I knitted for you. I was pressed for time, so the knitting was not very good. "
Tang Xiaotang pouted, "No way, the entire educated youth community knows that Sister Xiuyu is so skillful that she looks good in everything she does."
Xu Xiuyu, "As long as you like it."
Song Yingwan looked at the red scarf and asked softly after a while, "Sister Xiuyu, can I know where you are going?"
Xu Xiuyu said calmly, "Go and join the army."
Song Yingwan felt like a thought flashed through her mind quickly, but she didn't have time to catch it, "Is it... someone we know?"
Xu Xiuyu, "His name is Liu Qingshan, he is from Liujia Village. You should all know him."
Yang Xue took a deep breath and said, "Sister Xiuyu, this is too sudden!"
Xu Xiuyu, "Actually, it's not sudden. We have known each other for several years."
Song Yingwan looked at her for a few seconds, "Can we know why?"
She knew that Xu Xiuyu had never been an emotional person. For her to make this choice, to drop everything and follow a man to a strange place, it must be the result of her careful consideration, so she was curious about what made her willing to do this. .
Xu Xiuyu arched her eyebrows and looked relaxed, "There are many reasons, but he is the first person who made me feel warm."
Xu Xiuyu grew up in a family that values boys over girls. She is the second oldest sister in the family. Although there is an eldest brother above her, she has been responsible for taking care of her younger siblings since she was a child. She takes care of them first in everything at home, but only the next one The family immediately thought of her when it came to her hometown.
But she had long been used to it and agreed without any hesitation. After going to the countryside, she lived a very hard life. Except for her parents who gave her 70 yuan when she went to the countryside, they never sent any money again. But she never complained about anyone.
No matter how miserable and tiring she is here, she still looks forward to going home.
In the first year, she happily bought a ticket to go home for the New Year. When she got off the train, it was almost dark and it was still snowing lightly. She trotted all the way back because she was afraid of walking at night, but she didn't Like the picture she imagined.
After opening the door, there was a scene of a happy family. They were having dinner together. When they saw her, everyone stopped. After a while, someone said in a nonchalant manner, "Hey, the eldest sister is back?"
Xu Xiuyu twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "...Hmm."
After they finished eating, Xu's mother asked, "Have you eaten? There's still half a bowl of porridge, do you want it?"
Xu Xiuyu looked at the clean plates on the dinner table and whispered, "I... have eaten..."
After hearing this, the third brother came over and asked, "Sister, you must have eaten well outside, right? Did you bring any specialties when you came back?"
"No, I came back in a hurry this time."
He curled his lips, "It's so boring!"
When going to bed at night, Xu Xiuyu was about to put her luggage back in the room. Since there were many people in the family, she slept in the same room with Ximei. When Xu's mother saw it, she said, "Wait a moment, that room is for your eldest brother and sister-in-law." Okay, you can just make do with a bunk bed on the ground for the next few days."
"...Then little sister?"
"She is crowded with your third brother."
In the following time, she took over the family's three meals a day and housework, and she was busy until the first day of the new year.
On this day, Xu's mother pulled her and said, "Go and change your clothes, and come with me to visit relatives later."
Xu Xiuyu didn't think much about it. When she was about to go out, she asked doubtfully, "Is it just the two of us?"
Mother Xu's expression remained unchanged, "They have other things to do."
"okay."
When they arrived at the place, Xu Xiuyu realized that this was not a relative, but someone she wanted to visit.
The man was already over ten years old, with a fat head and big ears. Xu Xiuyu knew him because he was famous for beating his wives in the local area, and he beat away his first wife.
She turned around on the spot and was about to leave, but Xu's mother held her tightly and whispered, "You damn girl, I'm doing this for your own good, so don't be ungrateful!"
