I heard...
"Aren't you Xie's child?"
Xie Mingtu nodded silently, with a haze in his eyes.
Su Xiaoman heard his answer and fell silent. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Mingtu's hand.
Xie Mingtu already knows, so let's start preparing something.
Su Xiaoman still doesn't know whether paternity test can be done in this era, but... She also discovered one thing, Jiang Yantang looks very similar to the second child of the Xie family, or in other words, he actually resembles the Xie family Several brothers have similarities.
It's just that Jiang Yantang's temperament and dress are far from the Xie brothers, and very few people associate them with each other.
If you want to choose exposure, then choosing the day of separation is probably the most appropriate. In addition, in order to avoid the emotional kidnapping of Xie Mingtu by the people next to him, he said: Although Sun Mei stole a change of children, her kindness to you is indelible. Forgive her, you can't be without a conscience...
In this way, the person next to you blames the victim for the person who did the wrong thing.
It's absurd and ridiculous.
Public opinion must be turned in their favor.
First of all, to accumulate good karma and expand reputation, people's hearts are biased.
Among them, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie may play a very good role. They hate Sun Mei and are also the best witnesses.
Prove how vicious Sun Mei is, and she can't use any kind of support on Xie Mingtu.
These people from the Xie family will not end well. Sun Mei's intentional exchange of children was already a violation of the law, and at the least, she had to be sent to prison for a few years.
After the students came back, Liu Zhaoqiang began to organize the members to plant mulberry trees and dig fish ponds. In the first few days, he went to the agricultural machinery station to rent a bulldozer and began to dig fish ponds on a planned land.
Su Xiaoman also goes to work with the women in the village every day, planting saplings by the pond, or helping to graft mulberry trees, while Xie Mingtu drives a tractor to help transport soil and saplings up and down the mountain, pulling the wind along the way. , which caused many little girls on the side of the road to peek at him.
Uncle Chen deliberately and carefully asked about the fish farming experience of the people over there. He discussed scheduling and division of labor.
The village recently opened a mill, bought an internal combustion engine, and the machine grinds flour, which is much more convenient than before.
"Is that really Xie Laowu? Xie Mingtu?"
"Like a person."
"It's different when you're married."
"I heard he can repair tractors."
The tractor of the brigade broke down a few days ago and could not be repaired for a while. I don’t know where I heard the name of Xie Mingtu, and found their Qiaoxin Village, Xie Mingtu went to help repair it.
"You kid can repair tractors." Uncle Liu Zhaoqiang couldn't help but glance at his nephew and son-in-law. He originally thought that Su Xiaoman was married to an ordinary ordinary farmer. Muddy legs, but I didn't expect this nephew and son-in-law to have such good skills. The leaders of the commune praised him several times, saying that he was a talent.
"I studied with Uncle Zhou over there for a few days when I went out."
"Xiaoman said you still drive a transport truck?"
"Yes." Xie Mingtu nodded, "No certificate, you can't drive here."
Apply for a place to get a driver's license.
Liu Zhaoqiang nodded, wrote it down, and muttered: "When will we have a big truck in our team."
He patted Xie Mingtu on the shoulder, "You kid, work hard!"
These days, Su Xiaoman's reputation in the village has improved a lot, no one will say that she used to chase Jiang Zhiqing in a daze, these things have long since become the past tense, and now it is a brand new Su Xiaoman .
Su Xiaoman planted mulberry trees with the women in the village.
They heard that Su Xiaoman is very good at female workers, and went out to learn silkworm breeding. The silkworm breeder over there also gave her a batch of good silkworm eggs. Silkworm, maybe they will come to ask Su Xiaoman for advice, so they are willing to re-establish a good relationship with Su Xiaoman.
Su Xiaoman's reputation improved, and Sister Xie and Third Sister Xie also contributed a lot to help her outside.
"Little fifth daughter-in-law, she went out for a trip, and brought us vanishing cream, which I smeared on my hands and face, which is much more moisturizing."
"Several kids have new toothbrushes."
"Look at this pencil case, it was also chosen by Xiaowu's daughter-in-law... She is going to live with our Xiaowu in a down-to-earth way."
…
Listening to several sisters-in-law complimenting Su Xiaoman, some young unmarried men in the village couldn't help but scolded Xie Mingtu for having a bad luck, luckily married the beautiful Su Xiaoman, this Su Xiaoman not only cooks delicious, but also has He is good at cooking, and can embroider and sew clothes to make clothes... Where can I find such a good daughter-in-law?
Xie Mingtu, who was driving a tractor, also suffered the envy, jealousy and hatred of countless young men.
Want to drag him to the woods and beat him.
"Xiaoman!"
"Good morning, auntie!"
Su Xiaoman's going out in the village these days is more lively, many people like to say hello to her, the old woman and aunt in the countryside may be a bit rustic and uninformed, but her natural enthusiasm is unspeakable .
When she came to water the mulberry saplings today, she met a familiar person.
—Sun Xiaoqiao.
Sun Xiaoqiao is an ordinary-looking rural girl, with a short height, dark skin, a few small sun-blown freckles on her cheeks, and the hair behind her back is combed into two lengths. Braids, wearing patched clothing.
Su Xiaoman saw her and called her: "Small!"
Sun Xiaoman looked back and saw that it was Su Xiaoman, she couldn't help but froze on the spot, "Xiaoman?"
She didn't expect Su Xiaoman to call her.
Su Xiaoman and Sun Xiaoman used to be good friends, but they can't be called good friends. Sun Xiaoman used to be Su Xiaoman's follower. , has a bad temper and looks good. Some little boys in the village will deliberately bully and tease her and throw her things. At this time, Sun Xiaoqiao, who is stronger, will always help Su Xiaoman drive those people away.
Sun Xiaoqiao is a very good-natured girl. The two often play together in the village. Su Xiaoman also likes to share with her the delicious food that her parents gave her. Send it to Sun Xiaoqiao.
Su Xiaoman began to like the educated youths from the city. It is even more rustic, a rural girl who graduated from primary school and has no culture.
Su Xiaoman yearns to be friends with the female educated youth and join their circle. She also wants to marry Jiang Yantang and become a city person in the future.
Sun Xiaoman is a more pragmatic person, and feels that the educated youths from the city are not the same as them, and those female educated youths even despise Su Xiaoman, and they even make fun of Su Xiaoman together. , Sun Xiaoqiao couldn't see it, and persuaded Su Xiaoman not to like Jiang Zhiqing, and to find a down-to-earth ordinary man in the countryside to live.
The two had a disagreement. After a big quarrel, the relationship gradually drifted away, and there was no communication after that.
Sun Xiaoqiao's family is not in good condition, her old father has been ill recently, she deliberately avoided Su Xiaoman, and the two have not seen each other for a while.
She just listened to people in the village saying that Su Xiaoman fell into the water and was rescued by the fifth Xie family. Later, she was forced to marry the fifth Xie. She was still in bed feeling sorry for this former friend for a long time.
Although she didn't like seeing Su Xiaoman and Jiang Yantang together, she also hoped that her friend would get what she wanted in private.
Who knew it would turn out like this?
Fifth, it must be very wronged.
Sun Xiaoqiao originally wanted to comfort Su Xiaoman, but after wandering around Xie's house a few times, she still did not go in.
Later, she heard that Su Xiaoman had changed, she didn't like Jiang Zhiqing anymore, she wanted to live with Xie Laowu, and asked to study outside together. It is said that after returning from study, Xie Laowu It was as if he had changed into a person, he had become a handsome young man.
This is indeed the case. When Xie Mingtu was driving a tractor on the village road these days, Sun Xiaoqiao deliberately gave him a few glances, but he did not expect this poor boy to clean up twice, it is indeed a little girl who is easy to make The blushing handsome boy.
Not to mention that he can drive a tractor. The commune asked him to repair the tractor a few days ago. He is a very capable person. Sun Xiaoqiao is very happy for his former friend.
"Small, long time no see." Su Xiaoman smiled at her, came over and took Sun Xiaoqiao's hand, "I went outside and brought you a gift, yes A box of vanishing cream made in Shanghai, and soap."
Su Xiaoman came to repair the relationship with Sun Xiaoman. She has the memories and life of Su Xiaoman and Su Xiaoman. She found that from childhood to adulthood, Sun Xiaoman was a very good friend who was sincere to her.
In the past, those wealthy plastic girlfriends of hers were all compared to each other, and each of them was best at watching dramas and falling into trouble...
And Sun Xiaoqiao in her memory... She still remembers two silly little girls playing in the mud together in the field, secretly going down to the river to play with their parents behind their backs, and holding hands in summer to fish for frogs , At that time, Su Xiaoman was very timid. On the ridge, he saw a toad that was bigger than a human head. He was so frightened that he cried for a long time.
Very simple feelings and past, every time I think of these things, Su Xiaoman will feel a particularly warm feeling.
"Xiaoman, for me?" Sun Xiaoman was flattered, her eyes were shining, and she looked at Su Xiaoman with great joy.
Su Xiaoman nodded, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if all the things in the past had passed, and they were still good friends.
She chatted with Sun Xiaoqiao a few words, and learned that Sun Xiaoqiao was going to get married soon, and the marriage was not far away, and it was also a family in their village. A paralyzed 80-year-old grandmother whose parents are still alive, but not in good health. That person is the eldest son in the family. He also stopped studying after primary school. He works in the fields, and brings several younger brothers and sisters with him. at school.
Having such a partner, Sun Xiaoqiao is also satisfied. Although her future husband is a burdensome family, she is diligent and kind, and she is also a tall horse. She is a good hand in the field, and she can eat After the hard days, the two make do with each other, and the days will not be too bad.
Because both families are poor, and they don't plan to do anything about drinking, they wear a red cloth, just like ordinary poor girls, so simply marry them.
After hearing what she said, Su Xiaoman suddenly remembered: "I remember that you have an old red dress, you might as well give me the old clothes and red cloth, and I will help you change it and make a new one. How about a wedding dress?"
Sun Xiaoqiao was stunned, "The clothes are too small, I can't wear them anymore, they are old clothes given by a cousin."
"You let me try it, I'll help you change it, I want you to marry beautifully!"
After hearing this, Sun Xiaoqiao nodded very moved.
After she went back, she gave the old clothes and a small piece of red cloth to Su Xiaoman, and Su Xiaoman took these clothes back to Xie's house.
Zhang Lingli, who lives next door to Sun Xiaoqiao's house, is also a playmate of the same age when he was a child, but he has always had a bad relationship with Su Xiaoman. Su Xiaoman together? Do you really think she will treat you as a good sister and good friend?"
"People were eager to please those female educated youth before, and they disliked us for being uneducated. Have you forgotten?"
"We really have no culture." Sun Xiaoqiao said honestly, "Compared with those female educated youths, we are not beautiful, rustic, and uneducated. Of course, Xiaoman wants to play with them. "
Zhang Lingli was choked by her uprightness, who is "we" in your mouth? ? This Sun Xiaoqiao is not pretty and rustic!
"You're just... Look at it, Su Xiaoman is definitely going to trick you. She bullied you and took advantage of you since she was a child." In Zhang Lingli's eyes, Sun Xiaoqiao is a complete fool , what Su Xiaoman asked her to do, she did what she did, she trusted Su Xiaoman too much.
Su Xiaoman is lazy, and Sun Xiaoman often helps her work.
These two people, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
"Xiaoman is obviously very good to me. As long as there is sugar and cake to eat, she is always the first to think of me. I was in trouble at home before, so she went home without saying a word. He gave me ten dollars." All these Sun Xiaoqiao also kept in mind, "Xiaoman, she always thinks of me, this time she went out and brought me vanishing cream and soap, which are very beautiful, and the packaging I still love. I don't want to take it apart."
When Zhang Lingli saw the brand new box of cream in her hand, her eyes became very hot. At the same time, what Sun Xiaoqiao said was also the reason why she hated Su Xiaoman, because Su Xiaoman was generous to Sun Xiaoman since she was a child. Delicious food is never given to her.
She always looks forward to the breakdown of the relationship between Su Xiaoman and Sun Xiaoqiao.
"Hmph, I bought you for such a little thing, just wait and see, she will definitely dislike you again in a few days, I don't know her yet, she just wants to talk to those foreigners Like a female educated youth…”
Sun Xiaoqiao put away the cream and soap, "I think Xiaoman is much prettier than those female educated youths, you haven't seen her recently, her hair is beautifully combed and her skin is fair and tender. She is tender like lotus root, her eyes are like big and moist purple grapes, she is not rustic at all, she speaks softly, I can't tell how she has changed, but she is just like a girl in the city already."
"Those female educated youths are not as foreign as her, so she doesn't want to play with them."
Zhang Lingli was taken aback by her powerful logic.
Sun Xiaoqiao is a fool!
At night, the lights were lit in the room, Su Xiaoman picked up Sun Xiaoqiao's old clothes, looked at the little red cloth spread on the table, and thought of how to design it in her mind.
These two things in front of you can't actually make a beautiful wedding dress. Su Xiaoman also plans to spend her own money and sneak a little red cloth into it.
Sun Xiaoqiao used to be very kind to her, and she wanted to marry her beautifully.
Making a wedding dress for her by herself is also her heart as a good sister.
For her, it's not difficult to make clothes, it's just a pity, "If only there was a sewing machine."
If possible, Su Xiaoman would still like to own a sewing machine, but it is a pity that they don't have it at home, nor here.
With all the money she had, she could buy a sewing machine, but she still needed a sewing ticket. Even if she could get a ticket, she couldn't use all the money to buy a sewing machine.
"Manman, do you want a sewing machine?" Xie Mingtu, who was cutting wood by the side, heard her and asked.
"Of course I want it, but I can't afford it." Even if she could afford it, she wouldn't buy one for Xie's house at this time.
"Manman, is the old one okay?"
"Yes!" Su Xiaoman turned to look at him and asked curiously, "Can you get one?"
Does he know anyone selling used sewing machines? These days, sewing machines are all big pieces at home, and it is not easy to exchange them for others, not to mention that very few of them have sewing machines here.
"Manman, I have a solution."
Su Xiaoman went to ask Xie Gouzi what specific solutions he had, but he still sold off, just didn't say anything. The next day, the two of them asked for leave with their uncle, opened a letter of introduction, and the two Personally, I took a ride to Nanjiang City.
When Xie Mingtu took her to the city, Su Xiaoman's head was still confused, but Xie Mingtu, who was timid in the face of the city before, was already well-adapted and took her to find a place with ease. .
Su Xiaoman took his hand, and the two rushed to a garment factory in the city to find the person in charge of Nanjiang Garment Factory to inquire that there was indeed a batch of old and broken sewing machines in their factory recently to be disposed of .
Generally, this kind of sewing machine is almost on the verge of being scrapped. The slightly better ones have already been brought home at a low price by the workers in the factory, and there are still some machines that cannot be used as waste.
I heard that they were interested in these scraps and irons, so the person in charge took two people to the storage room to see the dozens of old sewing machines piled up.
"It's broken, it's broken, the machine has been in use for a long time, and it's impossible to find a master to fix it, so there's no need..."
I heard that the two of them wanted it, and Wang Fengshan, the person in charge, was also curious about what they wanted to do.
"What, can you still cultivate? It's already like this, can you still cultivate well?"
When Xie Mingtu came, he asked someone to borrow the corresponding tool box and other small parts. In front of the person in charge and Su Xiaoman, he quickly dismantled the three sewing machines. However, it was assembled into one, which left Su Xiaoman and Wang Fengshan stunned.
"Which mechanic repairer's apprentice is your husband?" Wang Fengshan couldn't help asking curiously.
Su Xiaoman replied vaguely with "um, um" twice.
Xie Mingtu really didn't say anything about the talent of machinery, not only is he good at repairing things, dismantling things, and assembling things better, he himself has the ability to never forget, Su Xiaoman guessed him The tractor can be disassembled and reassembled.
The sewing machine he rebuilt actually works smoothly! !
Before Wang Fengshan told them that these sewing machines are too broken for too long, and they can be sold to them for ten yuan, which is equivalent to buying three old sewing machines for thirty yuan to assemble became a new one.
Su Xiaoman threaded the sewing machine, found a piece of rag and ran a few threads at random, and couldn't help but rejoice, "It's very easy to use, it's better than the one from Mrs. Zhou's house, Mingtu, have you modified it yet?"
Xie Mingtu nodded, "Do you think Manman is suitable?"
"Very good, much better than I thought." Originally, Su Xiaoman looked at the pile of old and broken copper and iron, thinking that even if they were reassembled, there would be no brand new sewing machine. use.
But it doesn't matter, now the conditions are tough, Su Xiaoman is confident in her sewing level, even if the sewing machine is not very easy to use, it can play a great effect under her hands.
But I didn't expect Xie Mingtu's reassembled machine to be so smooth, which is too good.
A sewing machine for thirty dollars!
It also comes with unlimited after-sales service!
It was assembled by her husband!
Su Xiaoman couldn't help but look at Xie Mingtu with a look of admiration, "You are amazing!"
Xie Gouzi is really a treasured young man. He can not only raise chickens and catch rabbits on the mountain, but also repair tractors and sewing machines.
Rampage.
Encouraged, he felt that he could change countless sewing machines for Manman.
From the very beginning of learning to repair tractors with Zhou Heqiang, he found that he could easily memorize the structure of these mechanical tools, and his intuition could tell him how to make them.
"Are you going to repair other machines? A machine in our factory is broken, and the repair professionals will not arrive until next week." Looking at the temperament of the couple in front of them, they are young and It looks very cultural, maybe it is the apprentice of a repair master, or it may be a college student in a related major. The dead horse is used as a living horse doctor. Wang Fengshan couldn't help but ask.
If the other party can help repair the machine, it will solve the urgent need of their factory.
Xie Mingtu glanced at Su Xiaoman hesitantly, Su Xiaoman pushed his arm down and asked him to try it.
Su Xiaoman thinks that he can have such a talent, so he needs to develop more. Now that he has the opportunity, he will go and see it.
"It's okay, it's okay if we wait two days before going back."
It is estimated that she will only be scolded by Sun Mei a few times. Of course, it is also possible that they are happy to stay outside and save food at home.
Wang Fengshan brought them to the malfunctioning machine, which was a large new type of cloth pulling machine. There was also an internal structure manual beside the machine, but most of the labels above were in Su and English.
Xie Mingtu picked up the manual and looked down at it seriously.
He was reading the manual, and Su Xiaoman was watching him carefully, she guessed in her heart whether this guy could understand or not.
"This is a machine purchased from outside, and the people on our side can't understand this manual..."
Wang Fengshan next to him also looked at him suspiciously.
Xie Mingtu went to check the mechanical equipment and told Wang Fengshan, "The machine is not broken, the assembly is wrong here, just change it."
Xie Mingtu and the relevant personnel in charge of the machinery and equipment dismantled and reorganized some of the equipment together, and the machine has been able to operate normally.
A big stone fell to the ground in Wang Fengshan's heart.
"Can you understand this manual? Our master here still has several questions that he can't understand, so let's explain it to us."
Xie Mingtu really understood the manual and exchanged a few questions with the machine master. In the end, Wang Fengshan thanked them very much and even confiscated them for the 30 yuan. They were also invited to a meal in the factory cafeteria.
"If you need more than a dozen old and obsolete sewing machines in the factory, you can sell them at a low price for eight yuan each. I can still make the decision."
After hearing what he said, an idea suddenly popped into Su Xiaoman's mind.
