Chapter 92 Hanged at His Doorstep
After sleeping all night with her son in her arms, Xu Yao woke up at eight in the morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Jiaan staring at her with his big black eyes. Xu Yao smiled and rubbed the little guy's head.
"Your hair has grown too long and it feels hot on your neck. I'll take you to get a haircut today."
Xu Jiaan had no objection and followed Xu Yao to get dressed.
Xu Yao looked proud.
Like Deng Xiaoxu next door and the little boy Ji Chen, the two of them don’t know how to wear clothes. There are many other boys in the compound who are spoiled extremely and need to be fed by adults for every meal.
In comparison, Xu Jiaan basically doesn't require her to worry about anything.
White rice porridge with scallion pancakes for breakfast.
Ji's mother wrapped two scallion pancakes in oil paper and let the two of them eat them on the way if they were hungry.
Xu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The county town is only a 50-minute drive away, so there's really no need to bring it.
The mother and daughter, the younger one holding an umbrella and the older one holding a fan, walked out of the compound.
When they got outside, they quickly exchanged things in their hands, with Xu Yao holding the umbrella and Xu Jiaan holding the table fan.
The look that people passing by gave Xu Yao.
Just like a stepmother who abuses her son.
Little did they know that Xu Jiaan's strength was much greater than Xu Yao's, almost the same as that of an ordinary adult male.
Ji Changyu said that after professional training, Xu Jiaan's strength will increase significantly.
Xu Yao wanted to transfer her household registration, so she took Xu Jiaan to the Children's Palace.
"Yaoyao, An'an, why are you back?"
Liu Mei, who was sweeping the floor in the open door, saw the mother and daughter coming back and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
She dropped the broom, put aside the fan in Xu Jiaan's arms, and looked Xu Yao up and down.
"You've lost weight...you've gained weight. It seems your in-laws have taken good care of you. Where's your son-in-law? Why didn't he come with you? And why is An An holding a fan?"
Feeling Liu Mei's deep love for her son, Xu Yao showed no impatience at all. She held the hands of the two grandparents and walked into the house.
"My mother-in-law has nothing to say to me. Ji Changyu has returned to the army, and the fan is a gift from him to you. Mom, I have good news to tell you. I was admitted to the wine factory. I came here today to transfer the food relationship. I will be a city dweller in the future."
"Really? Sister, you're really great!" Xu Gang came out of the house with a smile on his face.
He caught a glimpse of the electric fan on the ground, looked warily at the neighbor who was peeking into the yard, and quickly carried it into the house.
When they first learned that Xu Yao was going to take the exam, no one was optimistic about her. Except for Xu Weidong, no one in the family tried to undermine her confidence.
Now I am so happy for her.
"What about Xu Qiang? Did he pass the exam? Was it easy?"
Liu Mei knew her daughter's condition very well. Not only was she extremely lazy, but her test scores were also poor. When she was in junior high school, her teacher visited her home and told her that she was not studying hard.
If she can pass the exam, maybe Xu Gang can too?
Xu Yao said, "Mom, I passed the exam based on my own ability, not through connections, so Xu Qiang failed. He might be planning something bad these days, so you and big brother should be careful."
Liu Mei glanced at Xu Qiang with disappointment.
Although my son can make money now, how can speculation be as decent and stable as being a worker?
If nothing else, it is easier for workers to get married.
Xu Gang sneered at Xu Qiang and showed his biceps to Xu Yao.
"He looks so weak and frail? I'll beat him to death if he dares to come."
As he said that, he went back to the room and got out a small wooden horse toy for Xu Jiaan. When he pressed the switch, the small wooden horse swayed back and forth.
Xu Yao laughed out loud.
When she got home, she found that Liu Mei had become whiter and her complexion looked better.
As for Xu Gang, he got even darker after being tanned, like charcoal, but his facial features were still handsome, his body was muscular, and he looked much more energetic than before.
Xu Yao helped them plug in the fan and let them try the cool breeze.
"Mom is cooking in the kitchen and is like in a steamer...steamer. Big brother, go find someone in the kitchen to run an electric wire to her."
"Why bother? It's enough to just fan the room." Liu Mei said with disdain, but her smile was worthless.
She kept praising her husband's family and asked her to work harder in their house.
Then she took out four sets of clothes from the house, two skirts of different styles from the previous two days, and two long-sleeved lapel shirts, all pink.
It looks quite nice.
"I made it with your Aunt Wu's sewing machine. I saw that your sister-in-law has a similar body shape to you, so I made two sets of clothes for her. You can make one or two for her. There is still some cloth left. What else can you do with it?"
If pink cloth was not inappropriate for her in-laws and brother-in-law, Liu Mei would have made it for them all.
Xu Yao praised her craftsmanship and told her to keep it for later use.
When Xu Gang heard that they were talking about cloth, he took the opportunity to ask Xu Yao if she could make him a set of clothes.
Xu Yao almost spit out her tea. "You want to wear pink? Sure, as long as you don't care about other people's opinions, I have no objection."
"It's not me..." Xu Gang coughed awkwardly, "I'm dating someone, and I want to do it for her."
Liu Mei and Xu Yao quickly asked him who his girlfriend was.
"The educated youth from Fushan Commune is called Yu Qiuhe. I met her when I was selling hair flowers. I have only known her for about ten days."
You're already a couple after only knowing each other for ten days?
Although it is common these days for people to get a marriage certificate just by seeing a photo, Xu Yao always felt that it was unreliable.
Although Xu Gang looks good, his face is too dark and he's not handsome enough to make people fall in love with him at first sight, right?
Besides, the educated youth are all city dwellers and have high standards. Now that the policies are open, many of them have used their connections to return to the city.
Yu Qiuhe is dating him, doesn't she want to go back to the city?
"Is she reliable? If she is a good girl, you should take her home and set a date as soon as possible. As for the clothes, I will make them for her, and you can provide Yaoyao with the materials according to the market price."
Xu Yao understood Liu Mei's urgency, objectively analyzed Yu Qiuhe, and advised Xu Gang to try to get along with her again.
But Xu Gang obviously looked like he was in love.
I can't listen. I can't listen at all.
Xu Yao sighed.
Forget it. He will know he is wrong when he hits the wall. Maybe Yu Qiuhe is a good person.
Anyway, Xu Gang can make money now, so he doesn't lack the cost of trial and error.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Gang accompanied Xu Yao to Xiahe Village.
As for Xu Jiaan, he stayed at home, and Liu Mei bought half a watermelon for him from Aunt Wu.
The bus stopped in town. Xu Yao didn't want to walk in the hot sun, so she and Xu Gang took the ox cart back to the village.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they paid and got off the car, and Xu Gang and Xu Yao walked towards the dilapidated house.
They didn't meet anyone along the way, even the door of the brigade headquarters was locked, and a crowd of people surrounded the Xu family's old house.
"I'll go see what happened." Xu Gang asked Xu Yao to stand here and he walked forward.
Qian Shengyang, who was watching with the whole village, spotted Xu Gang with his sharp eyes, hurried out, and spoke to him excitedly.
"I heard that Xu Qiang didn't get selected as a worker, so Zhang Hongzhi's family came to make trouble with them, saying that Xu Qiang had taken away their daughter's innocence, and if they didn't give an explanation, they would hang themselves in front of their house."
