Raising a family through the 1970s

Mrs. Chu was about to go out with a basket, when she saw Yao Xiujuan coming back with Yao Xiuli who was wet, and stepped forward in surprise to ask, "Xiujuan, what's wrong with Xiuli?"

"Grandma, Xiuli accidentally fell into the canal ·····

". Mrs. Chu was shocked, and after reacting, she hurriedly said, "What? Then, the grandmother went to boil the pot of hot water and let Xiuli take a hot bath..."

Zhang Ping saw that Yao Xiujuan and Chu Wei's daughter-in-law had already helped Yao Xiuli to go into the house, so she said to Mrs. Chu, "Grandma, do you have ginger and brown sugar at home?

Old Mrs. Chu paused as she turned around and walked towards the kitchen, "There is brown sugar, but there seems to be no ginger..."

Zhang Ping hurriedly replied, "I have it at home, I'll go get two pieces..."

Yao Xiuli took several sips of the brown sugar ginger water that Mrs. Chu brought her, and then felt that she had eased up.

Old Mrs. Chu looked at Yao Xiuli's pale face, she felt distressed, stepped forward to sit opposite her, and touched her face, "Xiuli, you have eased up? It's so good, you don't even know, you're about to scare your eldest sister to death, have you been injured somewhere

?" "By the way, why did you fall into the canal?"

Yao Xiuli still had palpitations when she thought of what happened just now, " I, I was thinking enough about the wolfberry on it, but I didn't notice that I was already standing on the edge of the canal, so I accidentally fell into it..."

Seeing that she was trembling, Mrs. Chu hurriedly reassured, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, fortunately, someone was nearby at that time..."

Yao Xiujuan nodded, "Yes, Li Zhiqing jumped into the ditch without thinking about it at that time, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to think about the consequences..."

Old Mrs. Chu was surprised

, "Did you jump in to save it?" Zhang Ping bowed, "Didn't you jump in?" The water in the canal was so fast, and Xiuli was rushed down the moment she fell in, if it wasn't for Li Zhiqing jumping in and hugging Xiuli desperately, it would be..."

Old Mrs. Chu was even more shocked when she heard this, "Hug

Xiuli?" Yao Xiujuan and Zhang Ping were stunned, even Chu Wei's daughter-in-law, who had not spoken much, was also stunned, and the three of them looked at each other for a while, and turned to look at Yao Xiuli who was confused.

After being silent for a long time, Yao Xiujuan said tentatively, "It should be okay, right?

Old Lady Chu frowned, "If only a few of you were there, it would definitely be fine!"

After a pause, she said, "But, didn't you say it·····?

Zhang Ping answered, "Grandma, Xiuli is not from our brigade, even if they are not afraid to talk about it, can't you find their in-laws

in the future?" Yao Xiujuan agreed when she heard this, "Yes, wouldn't it be good if my little sister didn't look for people from our side in the future?"

"Well, that's fine. "

It's just..."

Yao Xiuli's heart tightened, and she asked nervously, "Grandma

Chu, what's it?" Old Lady Chu smiled and patted her hand comfortingly, "It's just Li Zhiqing, it is estimated that those in the team will have broken mouths and chew their tongues behind their backs..."

Yao Xiujuan frowned, "He is doing a good deed, why should he..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Wei's daughter-in-law sighed and said slowly, "Xiujuan, you may not have seen some chaotic scenes in Xinjiang, but in our hometown, you have seen a lot, and there are all kinds of names..."

"If a man or woman like this hugs and hugs in front of the public, if they are sued by some well-intentioned people, they will be playing hooligans! They will be invited to drink tea, and there are serious peanuts eaters..."

Yao Xiujuan was shocked, "But, but, but this is righteousness and bravery."

Old Mrs. Chu was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "I remember that a year before we came, a girl from our brigade rolled down the mountain, and was seen by a young man passing by, so he carried her back to the brigade, and the result was ·····

." Yao Xiuli pinched the corner of the quilt on her body tightly, and her finger joints were blue, "Grandma Chu, what happened

?" Old Lady Chu sighed, "Because the girl's leg was broken, the woman's family forced the man to marry the girl, and if she didn't want to, she would go to the Revolutionary Committee to sue the young man, saying that the young man was a hooligan·····

." The young man didn't want to marry, but there was no way, and in the end, the young man's family was forced to empty the family and pay a lot of money to the woman's family, so it was over.

Yao Xiujuan was stunned, and after a while, she hurriedly said, "Grandma, we won't do that kind of ungrateful thing."

Zhang Ping patted the excited Yao Xiujuan, "Of course we won't do those things, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will do bad things behind their backs, saying that the beautiful girl and Li Zhiqing are messing around with the relationship between men and women, and when the time comes, it will not only be bad for Xiuli, but even worse for Li Zhiqing..."

Yao Xiujuan's face was not good, "They ·····".

Before he finished speaking, he heard Yao Xiuli say, "Eldest sister, if I affect Li Zhiqing's reputation, I, I am willing to marry him."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Yao Xiuli, who was biting her lip and looking at them stubbornly, and after a while, the old lady Chu came back to her senses, and hurriedly took Yao Xiuli's hand and comforted, "Xiuli, we are just guessing, don't think so much about ·····."

Yao Xiuli shook her head slowly when she heard this, looked at Yao Xiujuan with straight eyes, and said seriously, "Eldest sister, I, I am willing to marry Li Zhiqing."

Yao Xiujuan's body shook, and she asked anxiously, "Xiuli, you tell the eldest sister, you, are you..."

"Yes.

Yao Xiuli didn't wait for Yao Xiujuan's words to ask, so she admitted it very shamefully, she looked at Yao Xiujuan and said seriously, "Eldest sister, I like Li Zhiqing, I have long taken a fancy to him..."

Zhang Ping and Chu Wei's daughter-in-law were stunned when they heard this, and after a while, the two of them quickly stood up, "Grandma, Lifang and the children haven't come back yet, let's go and have a look."

Old Lady Chu also stood up and said, "Well, I'll go with you." After the

words fell, he stretched out his hand and patted Yao Xiujuan, without saying anything, and walked out with Zhang Ping and the others.

Outside the courtyard, Mrs. Chu saw Chu Lifang and Li Meiling walking back with the children from a distance, so she explained to the two granddaughters-in-law beside her, "What to say and what not to say, you should

all know it, right?" Zhang Ping and Chu Wei's daughter-in-law hurriedly responded, "Grandma, we know that we all go in with our left ear and out with our right ear."

Old Lady Chu nodded with satisfaction, and when she saw Xinxin, who had already run in front of her, she hurriedly bent down and grabbed her, "Xinxin, what are you doing running so fast?"

Xinxin's eyes were red, "Grandma, aunt..."

Old Mrs. Chu smiled and touched her pigtails, "Good, your aunt is fine, it's just that she will be sleepy and need to rest, let's not disturb ····· first."
