050: Married two brothers-in-law
One was taller and carried two wooden barrels.
The other one was a little shorter, with a large iron pot hanging in front of him and a bamboo basket on his arm.
When he saw the two brothers' shabby appearance, Li Xinchun suddenly thought of another family of three who were also in a very poor state.
But before Li Xinchun had time to think about it, the two brothers came in one after another.
When the two brothers entered the room and saw Li Xinchun sitting on the kang, they both had a timid look on their faces, like the expression of people who have never seen the world when they first see a promising person.
For the brothers, wasn't it simply that they hadn't seen much of the world? Growing up, they'd only wandered around their village. Before coming to the Great Northern Wilderness, the farthest they'd ever been was the commune in their hometown. How much of the world could they have seen? Let alone met any powerful figures.
To the two brothers, Li Xinchun in front of them was already a very powerful person.
He was dressed very decently, without a single patch on his body, and there was a pair of half-new Liberation shoes under the kang.
Moreover, the large military truck at the door was obviously driven by this man.
But he can drive!
How awesome!
Li Xinchun was sitting on the kang. Seeing the two people below looking at him with an almost admiring look, he felt very proud.
He concealed his inner pride and said:
"I didn't know you were going to the county town today. I happened to be driving back from the county town this morning. If I had known earlier, I would have given you a ride."
The shorter man looked a little nervous. He held the big iron pot in his arms and wanted to say something, but didn't say it. He turned his head and glanced at the person next to him.
The tall Yu Daye said in a completely nonchalant tone:
"We're back anyway."
As he spoke, he took down the shoulder pole and placed two wooden barrels full of household items against the wall. Then, he did something that left Li Xinchun dumbfounded. He sat down on the edge of the kang without saying hello, picked up the bowl of hot water on the table that Cai Honghua had just poured for her son, and drank it all in a few big gulps.
After drinking, he put down the bowl and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
Li Xinchun:——
I was stunned.
Damn, whose house is this?!
Li Xinchun instantly understood that what his mother said about staying here and not leaving was not an exaggeration, it was true!
The two brothers are still shameless idiots!
When Yu Erye saw his elder brother put the things down, he also put down the big iron pot in his arms and the bamboo basket on his arm.
Yu Daye pushed the empty bowl away:
"Second brother, you must be thirsty too, go pour yourself a bowl of water—"
"Why!"
Yu Erye didn't dare to look at the expressions of the mother and son. He lowered his head and picked up the bowl. He turned around and saw a thermos bottle on the large vat against the wall.
Yu Erye is familiar with this thermos. It is said that if you put hot water in it, it will still be hot the next day, which is magical.
Yu Erye put the bowl on the wooden board above the water tank, picked up the thermos and poured out a bowl of water.
That fruit is really steaming!
Wow, the people in the Great Northern Wilderness Farm are so wealthy. In their hometown, only people in the commune can afford this kind of thermos, but in the Great Northern Wilderness, ordinary people actually have this kind of thing in their homes?
It seems that although Beidahuang doesn't have the legendary lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs, it's still much better than their hometown.
Yu Erye picked up a bowl of hot water, took a sip, and immediately spat it out:
Oh my god, it’s even hot!
It seems that thermos is really a good thing.
Yu Daye sat on the kang and criticized:
"Second brother, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you blow on it before drinking?"
"oh oh."
Yu Erye then blew on it carefully and drank the hot water slowly.
Cai Honghua and Li Xinchun, mother and son: They wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to say it. They just felt like a fire was burning in their chests.
After the two brothers finished drinking the hot water, Yu Daye got off the kang again and asked calmly:
"Auntie, what are we having for lunch today? Do we have enough firewood at home? My second son and I will go chop some firewood for you. Come on, my second son, get the axe and chop some firewood."
"oh--"
The two brothers arranged their own work, walked out of the house one after another, took an axe from the woodshed, picked up a sack and a backpack, and went out together to chop wood.
Looking at the backs of the two brothers leaving, Li Xinchun felt terrible:
"Damn, I've never seen anyone so shameless!"
"You said it was over or not, now you're blackmailing the two brothers."
It really proves the saying that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away!
I originally wanted to find a wife for my stupid son.
As a result, he didn't get married to a wife, but married two brothers-in-law first!
Where can I seek justice?
Cai Honghua left the main room angrily:
"Let's go cook. I originally saved some flour and wanted to wait for you to come back to make dumplings. Forget it, don't eat dumplings. I'll make some sorghum flour and some batter, make it thinner, and then steam a pot of black bean flour steamed bread. I won't cook any vegetables, just dried radish. Don't eat good food at home for the next two days. When those two brothers run away hungry, we can eat good food--"
Cai Honghua muttered all the way to the kitchen.
————
In the woods.
Yu Daye and Yu Erye were carrying a hatchet and a sack respectively.
"Brother, what should we do in the future? Look at that family, they don't welcome us and they give us cold looks everywhere. How can we stay here?" Yu Erye asked with a frown.
"If you can't stay, where can you go?" Yu Daye asked back, "We don't have a penny on us, where can we go? Second brother, don't care how they treat you, just pretend you don't see it, eat when you should, drink when you should, and be thick-skinned. After all, he called us here, he asked us to come, and we came here happily. Now he wants us to leave, he's dreaming! Don't worry, stay, eat at his house, live at his house, until he finds us a job!"
"Oh well--"
Yu Erye gained a little courage and began to follow his elder brother to break branches from the tree.
After cutting off two branches, Yu Erye said dejectedly:
"Hey, if we keep wasting time like this, how long will it take for us to make money? I promised Cuihua when I came here that I would go home and marry her when I made money. If I don't make money within six months, her parents might marry her off to someone else."
When Yu Erye thought about his beloved girl marrying someone else, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife, and he didn't even have the energy to break off branches.
Yu Daye cursed without any sympathy:
"She's useless. She can marry whoever she wants!"
Yu Erye: Forget it, I won’t say anymore. The boss has always been a ruthless person. Saying such weak and incompetent words will only lead to scolding.
But he really didn't want Cuihua to marry someone else!
He wanted to earn enough for the bride price as soon as possible, go back and marry Cuihua in a grand ceremony, and then have a litter of kids with Cuihua, so that he could live a happy life with his wife and children.
But in the current situation, when will he be able to earn enough money to go back and marry Cuihua?
It was over. His beloved Xiao Cuihua might really have to marry someone else—
