The Su family had their own concerns. Su’s father and Su’s mother didn’t fall asleep until the middle of the night. The next day was light and the rooster was just crowing. Li Yufeng had already got up and made breakfast. Just after seven o’clock, she ran to Su Xiaoxiao’s room and called her. stand up.
Su Xiaoxiao was a typical night owl in her past life. She didn't sleep at night and woke up in the morning. She came here to live an early retirement life. She woke up before seven o'clock every day and went to bed before ten o'clock.
The four seasons in the south are indistinguishable. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large in Sujia Village surrounded by mountains on three sides, adding a bit of autumnal feeling.
Li Yufeng brought a safflower dress that had been hidden in the cabinet for a long time, and the smell of mothballs rushed to Su Xiaoxiao's forehead.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help sneezing, and took a few steps back while holding her breath: "Mother, don't you want me to wear this dress for a blind date, right?"
People designate to scare them away directly, but still use pictures?
Li Yufeng patted the clothes loosely, and lifted it a few times before saying:
"What do you mean by that look of disgust on your face? You mother and I have been saving cloth tickets for a long time to make this dress. You don't know how hard it is to buy red cloth. I originally planned to keep it as a dowry when you got married. Yesterday In the evening, I discussed with your father for a long time, the conditions for being a soldier are not good, but compared to the lazy and poor crooked melon cracked jujube and Shen...cough..."
Li Yufeng wanted to talk about Shen Zhiqing, but was afraid to provoke her daughter's sadness, so she changed the topic:
"At least they have a decent unit, and they can still afford you. This time you have to cheer up. In case you fancy someone, the Widow Liu, who is at the head of the village, will not look down on you, so it is designated to make people laugh for half a year. "
Su Xiaoxiao knows the aesthetics of this era, but it does not mean that she can accept the aesthetics of this era.
"Mother, you'd better put it back and keep it as a dowry for me. This one on my body is fine. If this soldier looks down on me because of a piece of clothing, it's not a good match. If you don't, you'll be laughed at."
Li Yufeng thought about it, it seemed right, and folded the clothes back again.
Su Xiaoxiao suggested: "Mother, don't you plan to wash it before putting it back?"
Li Yufeng glanced at her daughter: "What do you know? It's just that the smelly bugs won't come to bite. After washing, the shape will not be correct. You haven't seen it for a few years, and it's still the same as new?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..." Good guy, her mother is also a talent, she actually let her put on the clothes that haven't been washed for a few years.
The family simply ate breakfast, probably because they were worried that Su Xiaoxiao was under pressure, and did not dare to mention too many blind dates. As usual, those who went to work went to work and those who went to work went to work.
Only Li Yufeng pushed Su Xiaoxiao aside abruptly, combed her two big braids, and tied two red headbands. The collar of her clothes was also pulled and pulled, and she was still dissatisfied when she looked left and right.
"The patch on this dress is too obvious, why don't you still put on that new dress?"
Su Xiao smiled and her face changed slightly: "Mother, I really don't need it, that's how I look simple."
Li Yufeng didn't believe it: "Really?"
Su smiled: "Really, I'm leaving."
Su Xiaoxiao brought her schoolbag with her, and Li Yufeng took out two crumpled money from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand, comforting her and saying, "I bought a few candies in town and went happily. It doesn't matter, the big deal is that your mother will support you for the rest of your life."
Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had no parental relationship. The only impression she had of her parents in her childhood was either quarrels or cold wars. Instead, from Li Yufeng, she felt the maternal love she had never felt before. She really liked Li Yufeng as a mother.
She hugged Li Yufeng: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao knew the progress of history. Such days will not be long. She will always find a way to make life better in the future, so that the old Su family will not be so poor all the time.
Li Yufeng patted her lower back: "This child, go."
…
In the villages and towns of the 1970s, the birds squeaked on the branches, the heavy golden ears of rice, the old 28 Phoenix bicycles, the old supply and marketing cooperatives with not many commodities, and even had nothing to do when they were full. Three aunts and six grandmothers who like to chew their tongues...
Everything is very new to Su Xiaoxiao.
Sujia Village is located on the edge of the county seat, and it takes only ten minutes to walk to the county seat. There are no secrets in the village. On the way, aunts and aunts who are working will ask, "Are you going on a blind date?", "Are you going to meet Widow Liu?" , "Why are you a good big girl going to be a stepmother" and so on.
Su Xiaoxiao is as his name suggests, and when he encounters questions he doesn't want to answer, he just ignores it with a smile, but he didn't expect to meet Widow Liu who just came out of the house when he walked to the entrance of the village.
When she saw the eye-catching red flower dress on Widow Liu's body, Su Xiaoxiao was extremely glad that she didn't listen to her mother's opinion.
Widow Liu's real name is Liu Shuixian, but she is actually two years older than Su Xiaoxiao. She has the unique charm of a young woman. How should I put it? A compliment is amorous feelings, a derogatory word is a flirtatious one, and that's what men will like very much , the kind of woman a woman would reject.
She opened her mouth first: "Yo, laugh, I really didn't expect you, a future college student, to devalue yourself to **** a widower with two children from me."
Liu Shuixian has been in high school for two years, and she is considered to be highly educated in the village. Otherwise, she would not be able to say words such as "self-depreciation" or put forward the conditions for literacy, when the matchmaker Xu thought of her for the first time.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't intend to **** her. She didn't know whether the other party was round or flat. She might like it when she saw it.
"Did you use the word 'grab' a little too solemnly? Anyway, I was free to meet casually, so I left first."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she walked directly past her. Why should a woman embarrass a woman? The fight between women is the most boring.
"You..." Widow Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that she had already made an enemy. People took her as an enemy in a grand way, but she didn't take anyone seriously at all. This indifferent attitude was actually the most insulting counterattack. Are you angry?
…
It was less than nine o'clock when we arrived at the state-run hotel, and the matchmaker Xu hadn't arrived yet, and there were a few guests sitting in the hotel.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't listen to her mother's words to buy sugar from the supply and marketing cooperative, but she was so greedy with the big meat buns in the state-run restaurant that she drooled.
She pointed at the steamed bun and swallowed her saliva: "Comrade, how do you sell this steamed bun?"
At this time, the waiter had no sense of service. She saw that Su Xiaoxiao's clothes were half-new and patched. Although she looked good, she could tell at a glance that she was a country girl, but her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not. Next: "This one needs food stamps, do you have it?"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little regretful. Her elder brother and sister-in-law had food stamps, but her mother didn't give them to her, so she could only drool.
Widow Liu walked past her, knocked her arm on purpose, and slapped the food stamps and money on the counter with a snap: "Two big meat buns."
He also turned around and sneered at Su Xiaoxiao: "If you can't afford it, stand farther away."
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the words "rich and powerful", gave her a thumbs up, and consciously stepped aside.
The waiter added: "If you don't buy anything, go out quickly and don't hinder other people."
At this time, matchmaker Xu arrived and saw Han Cheng sitting in the corner at a glance. She greeted him before beckoning and said, "Xiaoxiao, Narcissus, here."
Su Xiaoxiao followed the voice and looked over, just in line with the man in the military uniform in the corner...
