"Don't worry, uncle, I won't hurt her, and I won't hurt her even if I hurt myself." He said in a very serious tone.
Father Xiao looked at him deeply, "I hope you will do what you say."
"Just watch it." Xu Mingzhan said sincerely.
He never wanted to hurt her. His mission was to protect her, so how could he do anything to hurt her.
Father Xiao called his second son, "Take Comrade Xu Mingzhan to your room to rest."
"I got it, dad." Brother Xiao smiled and shouted, "Comrade Xu, come with me."
Xu Mingzhan nodded gently to Xiao's father and left with Brother Xiao. He took his luggage at the door and went to Brother Xiao's bedroom together. His bedroom was neither too big nor too small, and it was quite spacious for two people. .
"Put your clothes in the closet. If you have anything, you can put it on the small table by the window. There is no one with dirty hands and feet in our family. You can rest assured that your things will not be lost if you put them wherever you want." Brother Xiao introduced him to the places in the room. You can put things there, clothes and shoes.
In fact, Brother Xiao only lives in his room, and his shoes are placed very casually; there is no special place for them, and his clothes are stuffed in the closet.
When the wardrobe opened.
It was a mess inside, with clothes and pants mixed together in a mess.
"Ahem, I live alone and don't have much time to take care of it." Brother Xiao silently took out the clothes and arranged them, feeling embarrassed for Yaomei; this person was probably his brother-in-law, and as a result, he made a bad start. , set a bad example. If he gets married to Yaomei in the future, he will be guilty of a big sin if he doesn't take good care of Yaomei and asks Yaomei to do housework and organize things for him.
Xu Mingzhan gave a rare smile and said, "It doesn't matter, I also need to sort out my luggage."
The two of them kept silent in a tacit agreement. Brother Xiao, who put away his clothes and put them back in the closet, breathed a sigh of relief.
"What, I'm actually like this. What you saw before was that I was too busy and had no time to clean up."
"I know. I live a regular life. I have to fold my clothes, otherwise I won't feel comfortable. I can only sort them out a little when I'm busy, and then tidy them up when I'm not busy."
Brother Xiao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it."
Ah!
Xu Mingzhan couldn't help laughing, Minghua! She is favored by her family, but she maintains her true nature and is not spoiled; she is really a naturally kind and pure person, who knows how to advance and retreat, and understands etiquette. Her advantages are not like those she learned from the Xiao family, but rather It's a bit like being born this way.
Minghua had packed up here, and put the things she bought for her family on the desk in front of the window. She took the clothes, called her eldest brother to help carry water, washed and bathed comfortably, and fixed her wet hair. , the clothes were washed and dried in the courtyard. She put down the wet method and brought a dry towel to wipe her hair.
Xu Mingzhan also took a shower afterwards. He was stained with a lot of wind and dust along the way. After washing away the dirt, he felt refreshed.
He also hung the washed clothes to dry on the bamboo pole in the courtyard. After dinner, he used the excuse of being tired to go back to his room first to avoid everyone in the Xiao family. Minghua took out the gifts he bought for his family and distributed them one by one. Go down.
The two brothers each received a watch, and Xiao's father not only received a watch each, but also a pair of gold rings. Theirs were matching, husband and wife rings; the sister-in-law also received a gold ring, and another gold ring was given to her. Second brother, she will not favor one over the other. The future second sister-in-law who gives her to her eldest sister-in-law will also have one.
What does a family fear most? Don't worry about scarcity, but don't worry about equality.
"Mom and Dad, I gave you a pair of watches and rings. When you and I go out, people will know that you are husband and wife when they look at the things on your hands." After dividing the things, she squeezed to her parents and acted coquettishly, "Mom I have been married for many years, but I have not been able to go out for a walk because I was trapped in the countryside. This time I am back. Do you, the second elder, want to go to Beijing with me? When you graduate, you will get really busy. Then you will spend more time with your second elder. Even less than now.”
"No, no, we are fine in our hometown; you can work hard outside by yourself, don't worry about home, and write us letters from time to time to let us know that you are fine, and we will feel relieved." Mother Xiao sighed, holding on The daughter's hand, "Mom's dear girl, if you have money, save it, don't buy things like this time; if you have money, save more for a dowry, your parents are incompetent and can't give you too much dowry when you get married, You can only rely on yourself.”
The money for their son's wedding was all paid by their daughter. If they really had to renovate the house, they would have no money. They saved the money their daughter sent every month and gave it to their daughter when she got married.
Minghua sighed silently. The two old people's knowledge was limited. Only when they can go out more and see how wonderful the outside world is. Only when they see the vastness of the outside world can they realize how small people are.
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
After dinner, we went to bed separately. After a good night's sleep, Minghua woke up, washed up, and went to work in the fields with her parents in high spirits.
Xu Mingzhan couldn't eat for free at home, so he had to go to the fields with him; he rushed to do the work that should be done, which made Xiao's father and Xiao's mother surprised, but at the same time they couldn't help but doubt his motives.
Originally, people who came here to have fun and relax followed them to the ground every day; they had to be suspected!
More than a month later, when the family came back from the fields at noon, they saw a fashionable woman standing at the door of their house, carrying a bag.
"Who is this person? What is he doing in front of our house?" Xiao's mother is holding a sickle, and the Xiao family men are carrying burdens. During the autumn harvest season, they go out early and come back late every day just to harvest enough to feed the family and sell some money.
The women of the Xiao family did not pick anything, but only helped with harvesting tools.
"Auntie, uncle, you are back; why are you still going out to work in this hot day!"
"It's Yuying! When did you come back? We didn't say anything in advance. We won't go out to work until you come." Mother Xiao was sweating profusely, but still smiling; while talking, she stepped forward to open the courtyard. He opened the door and asked the man in the family to carry the food in, and then called Feng Yuying.
After entering the door, the men poured the grain into the dam to dry, and dried the grain together. Xiao's mother wiped off the sweat before she could manage Feng Yuying. She glanced at Feng Yuying, who was standing under the eaves and was clean, and then looked at Feng Yuying, who was also sweating profusely. My daughter, I have some comparisons in my heart.
My daughter wants to be a big star, and she is not as pretentious as this niece; therefore, what my daughter said before, Feng Yuying is not a simple child is true anymore.
"Yuying! I'm busy at home, so please forgive me for not taking good care of me! Sit inside the house, don't stand under the eaves."
"You and my eldest uncle are both busy, so I don't have the nerve to sit in the room alone to cool off."
Minghua: "..."
Xiao’s mother: “…”
Father Xiao: "..."
Brother Xiao, Sister Xiao, and Brother Xiao: "..."
Xu Mingzhan: I was embarrassed not to see her. Everyone was busy, so she stood by and watched alone.
