After the New Year, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang did not go north with them. The two old people were used to living here, so they could only send them to the train station.
Before leaving, Xie Mingtu and Su Xiaoman asked about Xie Mingtu's grandma's house.
"There is also a third uncle and a younger uncle at his grandma's house. You will know when you go there. Go see her grandma, that's a..."
Grandpa Jiang didn't know how to describe this mother, "You two will know when you meet."
"His grandfather is gone, only her grandmother. As for other people, don't care too much."
From the mouths of Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang, Xie Mingtu and Su Xiaoman knew that Xie Yazhi had a normal relationship with her parents' family, and her third brother Xie Zhongqi was a prodigal son who was not very motivated. He used to be a playboy, but now he can do everything No, the family was defeated, and the last meal did not last, but he couldn't hold back his hand. He was a master who could spend hundreds of dollars with a dollar in his arms.
Only then did he realize that his son wanted money for marriage, so he asked his younger brother for it, but if he didn't want it, he asked Xie Yazhi to ask for it, and Xie Yazhi collected some money for him.
This is one of the reasons why the courtyard belongs to Xie Yazhi.
"Her third uncle is a teacher. He used to be a teacher in a middle school, but now he's lame, and he still doesn't know whether to do it..." Grandpa Jiang squinted as he talked about the old things, and muttered in his mouth. Said: "In a blink of an eye, it was almost ten years ago. At that time, when he was engaged in that sport, he was a teacher, the students went on strike, and his leg was also... trampled and broken."
Listening to Grandpa Jiang talking about these old things, Su Xiaoman couldn't help sighing in his mind. In the past events, the teacher was indeed the character who was under more pressure, and some were forced by the students...
She closed her eyes, unable to imagine those tragic scenes, Xie Mingtu grabbed her hand, and the next second, he heard Grandpa Jiang say: "It's also Xiaotu, his third uncle loves to join in the fun, He has a relatively lazy personality, he has always been unconcerned about teaching, and he is not strict with students. He does not like to discipline students on weekdays, but he gets along well with a few classmates. Originally, it had nothing to do with him..."
Su Xiaoman: "???!!!"
Xie Mingtu: "…"
Grandpa Jiang sighed, "There was a very good old teacher who was criticized, and his third uncle went to join in the fun. The riot was too big that day, causing a stampede incident, his third uncle Tried on the steps and broke his leg on crowded students."
"When I was sent to the hospital, one leg was no longer able to be saved."
Su Xiaoman was speechless.
…I was trampled and broke my leg while watching the fun.
It's really bad luck.
"
"His uncle was born late, he didn't enjoy anything, but his temperament is simple. The couple lived in a state-owned unit and gave birth to two daughters. His uncle lives together."
"His grandma lived with his third uncle, which is also a sin. His grandma called before and told Yazhi on the phone that her son and daughter-in-law were not filial to her. And why is it not going well, Xie Yazhi asked her to move out and come here to take care of her, she is silent now, she is always reluctant to bear her two eldest grandchildren..."
…
Listening to Grandpa Jiang's words, Su Xiaoman and his wife learned a lot about Lao Xie's family.
After they plan to go to the capital, they will simply recognize their relatives. A little distance.
I didn't expect such a coincidence, Xie Mingtu's grandmother's house was actually in the capital, and he hadn't heard of it before. The two of them didn't know, Su Xiaoman thought that there was no one in Xie's house.
In the end, Xie Mingtu also had a bunch of grandma, uncle, cousin, cousin.
Let's not talk about his family anymore, Su Xiaoman remembered that his family is also a bunch of relatives, there is no family planning in this era, which family does not have several brothers and sisters, and there are too many relatives in a mess.
Su Xiaoman's cousins and cousins are not fully recognized. She has an aunt and a younger aunt. Among them, the relationship between her family and an aunt is not very good. My cousin and cousin didn't go to her house very often, so naturally they cut off contact.
The relationship between these relatives and friends is very complicated.
On the third day of junior high, Su Xiaoman said goodbye to his grandparents and Xie Mingtu, and took the train to the north. It's all about grandparents.
Xie Mingtu, who was wearing a military coat, dragged the big bag and the small bag, but it was not too difficult, but the image was too funny!
His luggage was bigger than he was!
The whole person is like a travel bag that can't fit. Because there are too many things, the zipper can't be closed, and things are popping out.
Wearing a hat, a scarf, rabbit fur gloves with both hands, and a small padded jacket, Su Xiaoman let out a sigh of relief and kept looking at him with a smile, " Do you want me to get you two bags?"
Xie Mingtu raised his handsome eyebrows, "No, just watch me by the side."
Su Xiaoman glanced at passers-by left and right, and felt a little guilty: "Anyway, let me take two lighter bags, otherwise people around me should say that I abused my husband."
Hearing this, Xie Mingtu was quite proud: "That's why I love my wife."
"Although I know it doesn't take much effort from you, but I can't stand it anymore. You can give me a bag. Grandpa and grandma gave too many big and small bags."
"I'm cold, please let me hold something."
Xie Mingtu stopped and unloaded a small bag of food, which contained steamed buns and pancakes made by Grandma Jiang, as well as some cake toffee and so on. He handed the bag to Su Xiaoman, "Manman, take this and eat a little when you're hungry."
Su Xiaoman took the package in his arms, peeled a toffee and ate it in his mouth, then peeled it off and fed it to Xie Mingtu, Xie Mingtu chewed it, "Manman is obedient, eat it yourself."
"I'll give you a candy to give you a boost."
The two got on the train. They bought two sleeper tickets, so they could fit a lot of things. Su Xiaoman, who was on the train in the third day of junior high, finally felt the Spring Festival in the 1970s. There are so many people, coming and going, and the ears are full of noise.
Don't say anything else, the loudest sound on the train is the screaming and clamoring of all kinds of children, except for the sound of hawking. People in this era are too capable of giving birth. There are children everywhere. One, two, three, four, five, a series of children, the older ones are fine, the younger ones get together, and one by one, their voices are louder than others.
Three or four children on a train is noisy enough, not to mention the dozen or twenty now.
In addition to the ones running on the ground, there are several in the back basket.
The aisles were crowded.
The sky was white and misty, and there was no sunlight. Although there was no snow, there was a raging cold wind. Sitting by the window, you could hear the roar of the wind.
Su Xiaoman sticks to Xie Mingtu's body, now she is leaning on the man beside her to keep warm.
"I'll fill the hot water." Xie Mingtu smiled and rubbed her face, got up and took the kettle to line up to fill the hot water.
Su Xiaoman nodded, still sitting on the hard bed, and exhaled into his frozen hands.
The cold current quietly penetrated into the back of the clothes through the clothes.
It’s so cold…
The opposite of them is also a couple with three children, three boys, the oldest is eight years old and the youngest is two or three years old. With the youngest and the youngest, the second child plays alone.
The children are really not afraid of the cold, they secretly opened some windows, let the cold wind blow on their faces, and giggled.
With a common enthusiasm, he greeted, "Are you two newlyweds?"
Su Xiaoman nodded, "Yes, eldest sister, you are going north with the eldest brother's family."
"Yeah, I took my child to the north to accompany the army, our man's rank has also reached, you can take the child over there, sister, your man is also a soldier."
Su Xiaoman nodded.
"Then I'll have to work hard for you...Hey, you turned out to be a literary soldier?! No wonder you look so beautiful, this young couple, one handsome and the other beautiful, how can we see you in the village Such a character." The woman was startled, and the entire carriage was pierced by her voice.
She looked at Su Xiaoman with a very strange look, "You literary soldiers are so beautiful, no wonder Cuicui is always worried that her man's family can't control herself and likes other beautiful women. "
"I was never worried before, but now that I see you, I start to worry."
She quietly leaned beside Su Xiaoman and asked her in a low voice, "Have you messed with the relationship between men and women?"
"Just to condolence the show? Don't do anything else?"
"Is that man really your husband?"
…
Su Xiaoman was very uncomfortable with her question and didn't want to talk to her anymore, just at this time Xie Mingtu came back, she took the kettle and held it in her hands to warm her hands.
Seeing this, the eldest sister glanced at Su Xiaoman, but said to Xie Mingtu: "Your daughter-in-law is so good-looking, you have to be more optimistic about her."
Xie Mingtu said lightly: "Eldest sister, your son urinated."
The woman just came back to her senses, ran to the side of the younger son, and cursed: "Why didn't you call someone earlier when you were going to pee, now your pants are wet..."
Xie Mingtu sat down, took off his military coat and covered Su Xiaoman's side, and warmed the back of her hand with his palm.
Su Xiaoman closed her eyes and leaned against his chest. The woman's words just now made her think of what Mrs. Su said once. Although it didn't mean the same thing, it was all about her face Restless fox looks.
The pointed chin seduces the man's face, and the eyes are full of anger.
She didn't hook up with other men, so she came back with such a dog.
Su Xiaoman reclined and closed her eyes, while Xie Mingtu watched over her. He handed her whatever she wanted and served her like a Lafayette.
She felt that she was not a fetish, but a bear trying to hibernate.
Su Xiaoman can feel unfamiliar eyes staring at her from time to time. The woman with three children on the opposite side often stares at her, and she doesn't know what she is thinking, maybe she is very blind.
When it was time for dinner, Xie Mingtu went to the dining car to ask for a hot box lunch, the woman comforted several children, and ran to Su Xiaoman to teach her, "Women's families have to serve men well, you are still young, at home No one will let you learn."
"How can a tired man run around for you."
Study, what will you do next?"
, The first time I fell asleep in a hard sleeper, everything felt fresh, the only thing I couldn't get used to was the woman sleeping on the bottom bunk opposite.
This woman was born so beautiful that when her man was sleeping in the middle bunk, he looked at her several times, not to mention several children, who secretly glanced at the beautiful sister opposite.
Fortunately, this fox-looking woman is already married, and there is a young and handsome man sitting next to it. If you ask carefully, she is actually a literary female soldier. When it wasn't during the performance, he hooked up with the handsome little brother next to him.
I have taken one, and will not take the second one in the future?
The young man was very considerate to the fox woman, bowed his head and greeted him affectionately, Zhang Dongchun felt even more uncomfortable, she felt that women should serve men, and now let men come Serving a woman, what kind of formality is this?
This woman is not a good woman!
A vixen who specializes in hooking up men.
Su Xiaoman sat up and looked at Zhang Dongchun with the appearance of a little white flower, "Eldest sister, I knew I should be born in your village."
Zhang Dongchun: "??!!"
"My parents have always been reluctant to marry my young daughter. Several brothers also said that they would support me for the rest of their lives.
Zhang Dongchun's expression was very strange, "What did you little girl say, that was coaxed by your father, mother and brother, how to do it."
Su Xiaoman shook his head and said innocently: "I don't believe it, if my man treats me badly, I will go back to my parents' house."
Zhang Dongchun: “…”
"Where are your in-laws?"
"They don't live with us."
Zhang Dongchun: "You—"
She was about to say more, when she saw that Xie Mingtu had come back with a few lunch boxes, Su Xiaoman complained a little, and said, "Why are you only here now?"
Her tone was whistling, like a fox reborn, which shocked Zhang Dongchun's three views.
"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong." The handsome man smiled softly.
Su Xiaoman made persistent efforts to continue her performance, leaving others speechless: "I'm hungry, my hands are cold, I don't want to eat by myself, you feed me."
The way to resist extreme verbal harassment is to become more extreme than her.
Zhang Dongchun looked at the tall and handsome young man dumbfoundedly, and saw that he carefully and thoughtfully helped the fox-like goblin beside him, and the couple fed the meal intimately.
The woman's voice was sweet and charming: "Why did you order a rabbit?"
"Bunny is so cute, how can you eat a bunny..."
Xie Mingtu: "…"
—My daughter-in-law is so cute!
I saw a different manman today!
The opposite Zhang Dongchun couldn't eat anymore, she held back for a long time, then ran to Xie Mingtu and stopped him: "Youngsheng, you have to take good care of your daughter-in-law, don't be too spoiled, women should be It is to serve men, be diligent in her hands and feet, and let her learn to be a woman when she gets married."
Xie Mingtu shook his head and said infatuatedly, "My daughter-in-law is so beautiful, I have to take good care of her and take care of her."
Zhang Dongchun gritted her teeth, she didn't mean to make you look more optimistic, "When you choose a person, your parents did not check on you, your daughter-in-law is beautiful, I don't look like it. It's easy to have boys."
Xie Mingtu: "I like my daughter, she is the best."
Zhang Dongchun: "Having a daughter and marrying off in the future is a money loser to serve other men."
Su Xiaoman couldn't help it at this time, "Eldest sister, are you talking about yourself? Marry a money loser to serve other men?"
Zhang Dongchun proudly said: "I am the benefactor of the old Chen family. I have given birth to three boys, and none of them lost money."
"You have to learn from me."
"Is that what you look like to be a benefactor?" Su Xiaoman looked at her with a suspicious look: "You are more than ten years older than your man, how many years have you worked in his house? ?"
Zhang Dongchun's face stiffened, she was five or six years younger than her man.
She looked at Xie Mingtu tenderly, took his hand, and said with a whimper: "Brother Xiaotu, I'd better be your enemy, it seems very tired and bitter to be a benefactor. look."
"Manman is weak and can't stand it."
It's like a stick in the throat.
Until he got off the train, Su Xiaoman still had a little brother in his mouth.
The Capital Railway Station was the largest railway station she had ever seen in this era. As soon as she got off the train, the sharp and biting cold wind from the north blew her for a while, it was dry and cold, there was no sun, and light snow began to fall again .
Although the temperature is relatively low, Su Xiaoman feels that this kind of dry and cold is better than the cold wind with water vapor.
She unscrewed the kettle and took a few sips of hot water, and then took the initiative to feed it to the mouth of the man beside her, gurgling away most of the kettle.
Su Xiaoman smiled and put a hat on him.
Xie Mingtu still carried large and small bags on his body. After checking them one by one, they walked outside the train station.
—A new day in the future begins.
