Chapter 173: Becoming a Blackmail Tool in the 7th Generation (6)
Li Manyi brought Shuangshuang back home. His parents and brothers were not at home. They must have gone to work.
After pouring a glass of water for Shuangshuang, he said.
"You've come such a long way, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go call my parents back."
Mr. and Mrs. Li didn't expect their son to be so capable. When he came back to visit relatives, he actually solved his lifelong affairs.
The old couple were so excited that they threw away the farm tools in their hands and ran home quickly.
What I saw was a skinny girl wearing patched clothes, sitting timidly in the main room.
I was stunned for a moment. Is this child an adult? Is this considered a mistake?
In the end, he could only sigh secretly. He knew without asking that he was a pitiful person.
Mother Li smiled at Shuangshuang and went to the backyard without saying a word.
Soon two bowls of dumpling soup were served, with a poached egg on top.
Shuangshuang looked at the large bowl that was bigger than his head and couldn't help but sigh to Xiaojuzi in his heart.
"This family is really honest."
Xiaojuzi also has a good impression of the couple.
"If I wasn't honest, would I have been blackmailed by Liu Zhaodi?"
Li Manyi finished his big bowl in a few gulps.
He looked up and saw that Shuangshuang still had more than half of hers left, so he asked.
"Isn't it delicious?"
Shuangshuang shook her head slightly, "No, I have never eaten anything so delicious before.
It’s just that this is too much for me to eat.”
When Li Manyi heard Shuangshuang say she couldn't eat anymore, he reached out and took the bowl, pouring most of the food into his own bowl.
He handed the bowl over again. "Eat. You were so thin because you didn't eat enough before."
Seeing that the two had finished their meal, Father Li said with a bag of cakes in his hand.
"Come with me to the captain's house and transfer your household registration."
Shuangshuang didn't say anything and just acted like good girls.
After following them for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the home of the captain of the Red Flag Brigade.
Father Li smiled and said to the captain, "Captain, I am satisfied and proud of myself. I have brought back a good guest.
I'd also like to trouble you to help me register my household registration."
Then he took out Shuangshuang's letter of introduction and the household registration transfer certificate and handed them over.
Captain Li took it and looked at it, then looked at Shuangshuang.
"Are you from the Yongxing Brigade?"
They both nodded, "Yes."
"I'm eighteen years old this year, so I'm old enough to get a marriage certificate."
Shuangshuang nodded again, "Thank you for troubling me again, uncle."
The captain thought for a while before speaking.
"Okay, I happen to have something to do at the commune in a couple of days, so I'll do it for you while I'm there."
As for the marriage certificate, Li Manyi still needs to get a marriage report, so it may take a little longer.
However, in the eyes of the villagers, Shuangshuang has become Li Manyi's relative since her household registration was transferred.
After returning to the Li family, Li's father and Li Manyi went to work in the fields.
Li's mother went to the backyard to prepare dinner. This is usually the case here, as there is no specific kitchen.
If conditions permit, use the small room behind the altar as a kitchen.
Those who don't have the conditions usually build a wood stove with stones under the front eaves.
Or you can build a shed with wood and thatch under the eaves at the back of the house to serve as the kitchen.
Shuangshuang said nothing and walked over silently to help pick vegetables.
Seeing Shuangshuang's efficient work, Li's mother nodded secretly in her heart.
Then he whispered to Shuangshuang in detail about what happened at home.
Li Manyi has a younger brother, Li Zhongyi, and a younger sister, Li Xiaoyi.
Li Zhongyi's guest was from the next brigade, named He Xiangcao.
I have two children. The older one is my son, Li Jianjun, who is 8 years old and in the first grade.
The younger one is my daughter Li Aijun, who is 6 years old and goes to preschool with her brother.
Li Xiaoyi married a man named Zhu Erniu from the next brigade. They had two sons, Zhu Youfu, 4 years old, and Zhu Yougui, 2 years old.
Mother Li was worried that Shuangshuang had some difficulties after arriving, so she went out of her way to comfort her.
"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is a very good person and we will definitely get along."
Everyone agrees on this point. There is no one who is the best in this family.
If there is a top-notch one, Liu Zhaodi won’t be able to extort it.
In the afternoon, people who went to work and school came back one after another.
Li Zhongyi and Li Manyi each carried a load of firewood.
My sister-in-law He Xiangcao and Father Li each carried a basket of pig feed.
After putting it down, the two brothers and their father Li picked up the farm tools at home and went to work in their private plots.
Farmers are all like this. They take care of their private plots and livestock after work.
Anyway, except when it gets dark, there is no free time at all.
He Xiangcao said nothing and chopped up the pig grass she brought back. After the meal was cooked, she also had to cook pig food for tomorrow.
The Li family is hardworking and raises two pigs in the backyard. This is a big income during the Chinese New Year, but it also invisibly increases everyone's labor intensity.
It’s not so bad in spring and summer, there are weeds everywhere and you can easily bring back a basket.
But in autumn and winter, we have to find ways to get food for the pigs, which is also hard work.
He Xiangcao glanced at Shuangshuang from time to time, and was happy to see that she was working diligently.
When I was in the field before, I heard people talking there.
It was said that Li Manyi rescued a girl in Wujia Village, but was blackmailed by that family and forced to take the girl back as a guest.
At that time, He Xiangcao said to Li Zhongyi with concern.
"Will the girls who come out like this be very powerful?"
Li Zhongyi is a good man. Naturally, he couldn't bear to see his guest worried, so he quickly comforted her.
"Don't worry, no matter how powerful she is, we won't offend her casually. She can't possibly go crazy for no reason, right?
If we really can't live together, I'll tell my parents that we should separate. I won't let you three suffer any injustice."
However, these words did not comfort He Xiangcao. You know, there were some unreasonable people. She even dared to scold and beat her mother-in-law, let alone her brother's sister-in-law?
When I returned home and saw the skinny Shuangshuang, I thought of my younger sister who was well protected by her older sisters at home.
In an instant, He Xiangcao's maternal love overflowed, and she no longer worried about whether Shuangshuang was a capable person or whether he would be good to her.
Now, after her secret observation, she found that her sister-in-law should not be a nosy person, and she felt relieved.
When it’s time for dinner, each person gets a bowl of rice with sweet potatoes.
On the table was a large pot of stewed beans, and next to it was a small bowl of fermented tofu.
Finally, Li's mother brought out another big bowl containing egg soup with little egg droplets.
Mother Li used a spoon to stir the food, scooped out a poached egg and put it into the bowls of Shuangshuang and Li Manyi.
I said to Shuangshuang embarrassedly, “Shuang sister, logically speaking, today is also a big day for you and the boss.
It’s just that there really aren’t any good dishes at home, so I’m sorry to have to trouble you.
You and your wife should each eat a fried egg, and you will surely live in harmony, happiness and health in the future.
