Chapter 114 The wind of urging marriage during the Chinese New Year finally blew to their Liu family.
"Xiuyun, the eldest son's letter has arrived, come and take a look."
Liu Qingshan ran in happily with the money and letter sent by his eldest son, and handed them to Ning Xiuyun.
"Let me see."
Ning Xiuyun opened the envelope, and Liu Xinghe's three brothers and sisters also gathered around and looked at it together on both sides.
"Your eldest brother said that he would come back to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year. He should be back in the next few days. Then our family will wait for your eldest brother to come back and move into the new house." Ning Xiuyun raised her head with the letter, her face full of joy: "Then I can ask your eldest brother to help move things, and the whole family will be warm and lively."
"Okay, then my second and third brothers and I will go for a walk in the mountains for a few more times and see if we can get some good food back and wait for our eldest brother to come back to eat." Liu Xinghe raised his hand excitedly. While the sun was out these few days, they would go to the mountains more often to hunt and get some supplies for the New Year: "We can also dig up some Houttuynia cordata. Houttuynia cordata has grown recently."
Liu Sanchuan nodded and cheered happily: "Okay, okay, we will go for a walk in the mountains tomorrow and dig up some Houttuynia cordata. It will be fun when our eldest brother comes back. We can let our eldest brother take us to the mountains. He is the best hunter in our family."
"Is our eldest brother really coming back? That's great. He hasn't come back in several years. We can finally celebrate the New Year together this year." Liu Erjiang jumped up excitedly with his fists clenched.
Ning Xiuyun looked over and made Liu Erjiang dare not move:
"Why are you so happy? Yesterday, your aunt Zhang said she would introduce you to a girl. You should clean yourself up and find a time for your aunt Zhang to meet her. The girl is from the next team and is not far away."
Liu Sanchuan heard his mother urging his second brother, so he stopped jumping and pulled Liu Xinghe into the corner, trying to keep a low profile and reduce his presence.
The eldest brother is 24 years old this year, the second brother is 21 years old this year, and he and his younger sister are both 18 years old. They are all of the age to get married in the team. Many of their peers are married, but they are all single. At this critical moment, they can't let their mother shift her attention to him and his younger sister.
I'm sorry, second brother, you take the blame first. Liu Sanchuan gave Liu Erjiang a look of deep regret.
Liu Xinghe looked at his second brother sympathetically for a few seconds, and decisively stepped back to the side with his third brother.
Bad news: The pressure to get married during the Chinese New Year has finally reached their Liu family. Good
news: All the young people in their family are single, and the three older brothers are taking the blame, so it won't reach her.
Liu Erjiang glanced at his two disloyal brothers and sisters with a displeased look, then turned around and smiled at Ning Xiuyun in a flattering way.
"Mom, I'm not in a hurry. My eldest brother still doesn't have a partner. As the saying goes, if the eldest child in the family doesn't get married, it's not the turn of the second child. Do you think my eldest brother can bring a partner back this year? Or you can arrange one for him first? He's 24 years old."
A friend of virtue is better than a friend of poverty. Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to support it. When it comes to marriage, there is still the eldest brother to support it. Liu Erjiang pulled out his eldest brother as a shield without hesitation.
The eldest brother, who was far away on the road, sneezed: My good brother, thank you so much
Liu Xinghe could imagine how his eldest brother would roll his eyes speechlessly if he heard it.
"Your elder brother has to worry about yours, and you have to worry about yours too. You are not young anymore, so go back to your room and pack up while you are free these days."
Ning Xiuyun didn't buy his tricks. It's not impossible to do both. The marriage is another matter, and the date must be brought up.
"No, I'll go talk to your Aunt Zhang and see if the girl is free tomorrow. If you wait any longer, I don't know how long you will delay. You are not allowed to run around recently, and you are not allowed to go to the city."
After Ning Xiuyun finished speaking, she stuffed the things in her hand to Liu Qingshan next to her, and hurried out to find Aunt Zhang to set up the dragon gate formation.
Liu Sanchuan and Liu Xinghe squatted in the corner, not daring to speak angrily. They dared to vent their anger after Ning Xiuyun left. When they saw Liu Erjiang looking over, the two siblings looked at each other and quickly dispersed.
"Well, second brother, I'm going back to the Youth League House first. Dad, I'm leaving first." Liu Xinghe picked up the bag hanging at the door and ran out.
"You guys take care of yourselves. I'll go see my little sister off. It's not safe in the dark at night." With the right excuse, Liu Sanchuan followed Liu Xinghe's words and said, "Wait for me, little sister."
"Listen to your mother, or you can find a date and your mother won't work for you anymore." Liu Qingshan patted his second son's shoulder and went back to the house with his hands in his pockets.
Liu Erjiang shrugged helplessly and went to his room.
Go back to the house to clean up. Mom has the final say in this family. He still wants to stay at home. It's just a blind date. It's no big deal. Don't make Mom angry. Just wait
for the elder brother to come back, his mother will give most of her attention to the elder brother, after all, the elder brother is more anxious than him, then he will be able to relax a little. Thinking of this, Liu Erjiang is looking forward to the return of his elder brother even more, and really hopes that he can come home today. The two siblings who escaped over there stopped after running for a while and looked at the light of the house behind them, and breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Sanchuan stood on tiptoe and poked his head out: "Second brother shouldn't have chased us, right?" Liu Xinghe saw that the room that belonged to the second brother was lit up, and waved his hand and said: "No, he should have gone back to the room , let's walk slowly." "That's good, I can only apologize to second brother for now." Liu Sanchuan relaxed, turned around and slowed down his pace: "Fortunately, you live in the Youth House, so we have a legitimate excuse to slip away first. When I go back later, second brother should have accepted it calmly." "Accepting it calmly is one thing, and being beaten by second brother is another thing. Third brother, you'll be on your own when you go back, because you two sleep in the same room." Liu Xinghe reminded him with a nasty smile. "It's okay, I'll hide when the time comes. As for the speed of escape, third brother, I've trained under our mother's bamboo sticks since I was a child, and I'm very fast." Liu Sanchuan shook his head complacently. "Third brother." Liu Xinghe chuckled and attacked again: "Just tell me, who among us four brothers and sisters has not practiced under our mother's bamboo sticks." "Awoo, that's right." Liu Sanchuan hung his head and howled dejectedly, then said with full energy: "I will apologize to second brother when I go back. Hehe, I'll attack first. However, I guess the blind date time that our mother has confirmed with Aunt Zhang will be tomorrow. Now I'm free and have nothing to do, so the girl must have time." "If there is a blind date tomorrow, second brother may not have time to pay attention to me. After our mother goes back, she will stand by and watch second brother prepare for the blind date tomorrow. When second brother goes on the blind date, I will have to be there to see the situation." Liu Sanchuan was looking forward to tomorrow. Liu Xinghe joined in the excitement: "If it's really tomorrow, I can also watch it. I'm on vacation tomorrow and I'll be free. I'll come over after breakfast then." Usually, blind dates here are for both parties to go to the matchmaker's house and sit down, just like visiting relatives. Everyone gathers together and it's lively and noisy. For the sake of each other's reputation, the rumor spread to the outside world will be that it's a visit with relatives, and no specific details will be revealed.
At first, everyone from each family would be present. When they wanted to learn more, other families would leave to give the two people some time alone. However, they would not leave too far away. In fact, they would all secretly watch from the side.
After all, in this era, there was still a crime of hooliganism, and sexual intercourse between men and women was strictly controlled. If you were not careful, you would end up in trouble.
Her second brother's blind date was such a big deal. As the younger sister, she was willing to be a tool if she had time. She was happy to go along and see what it was all about.
Liu Sanchuan stretched out his hand and high-fived Liu Xinghe: "Okay, we two brothers and sisters will go with our mother, and we will help our second brother to support the situation and add some people to the mix." It was mainly to add to the fun.
"Don't worry tomorrow morning. I'll come and tell you the latest news."
"That's settled then." Liu Xinghe handed the flashlight to Liu Sanchuan, pushed open the door of the Youth Home and waved: "I'm here, brother San, you can go back. I'm waiting for your good news."
"Okay."
Liu Sanchuan ran home excitedly with the flashlight, this time to go back to his mother to get news.
After seeing his brother running away, Liu Xinghe closed the door and went in. She was also looking forward to tomorrow. She had never accompanied anyone on a blind date before, and she didn't know what tomorrow would be like.
