Rustic Emotional entanglement with the neighbor's sister-in-law
Sister-in-law Xiu, whose real name is Zheng Xiuxiu, is the eldest daughter of my neighbor Liu Dazhu's family, and married my neighbor when she was 20 years old. Although I am one year older than Sister-in-law Xiu, I am two years younger than Dazhu, so I have always called her "Sister-in-law".
At the beginning, my sister-in-law and I were just neighbors, but I didn't expect this neighborhood sister to become my wife.
Although Xiu's sister-in-law has not received much cultural education, her appearance is very moving, dignified and delicate, and she always faces everyone with a smile, so the people in the village like her very much.
At that time, our village was poor, and Liu Dazhu was a bricklayer who, like many young people, worked construction sites in Xi'an all year round, and only returned to his hometown briefly during the Chinese New Year.
My name is Zhao Hu, and like Dazhu, I am the only child in the family. Originally, I also wanted to go to the city to look for a job, but my mom didn't agree. She was worried that if I went out, I might not be able to come back for a year, and that it would be even more difficult to find a partner. Fortunately, I finished high school and found a job in a factory in the township.
My family and the Liu family have been neighbors for many years, and the two families have always had a good relationship. Since I am the same age as my sister-in-law, we have a common language, so naturally we have more contact. Sister-in-law Xiu admires me very much, often comes to my house, and likes to ask me for advice when I encounter problems. Her sweet smile always delighted me, and we used to talk together.
In my spare time, I told jokes to my sister-in-law, which made her laugh so much that she leaned back and couldn't breathe. Then she beat me like a little girl and said, "Bad tiger, you deliberately made me laugh to death!".”
In the second year of my sister-in-law's marriage in our village, she finally conceived a child, and Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were ecstatic. Dazhu also sent a sum of money back and asked her to buy some nutritional products to take good care of the fetus.
Sister-in-law Xiu is a very hardworking woman, and she can't be idle even if she is pregnant. She didn't take her pregnancy seriously at all, and still worked in the fields.
One day, when I came home from work, I passed by Liu's field and saw my sister-in-law weeding. I hurriedly said to her, "Sister-in-law Xiu, you are pregnant and still working in the field, but be careful." It's not good if something goes wrong. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu replied with a smile: "Dazhu's father is not in good health, I'm fine, we country women, but not so squeamish." My mom almost didn't give birth to me in the ground when she gave birth to me. ”
Despite what she said, it was distressing to let a pregnant woman work in the fields. So I persuaded her: "Sister-in-law Xiu, I didn't go to work today, you go back, I'll help you work." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu said: "No, no, Huzi, you are busy with you, I can do it." ”
I ignored her and went into the farm work with her.
When I was working, my sister-in-law said to me: "Huzi, you are really a good man and know how to cherish women." It is a blessing to have a woman marry you in the future. ”
I replied: "Sister-in-law, what's the use of a good man, no woman likes it." ”
After hearing this, Sister-in-law Xiu raised her head and smiled: "Who said that no woman likes it?"I just like you!”
I hurriedly clarified: "Sister-in-law Xiu, don't be kidding, you are my sister-in-law." ”
Sister-in-law laughed: "Huzi, don't think crookedly." I'm not talking about liking between men and women, but liking you as a person. ”
After speaking, Sister-in-law Xiu's face became a little red. I quickly diverted the topic: "Sister-in-law Xiu, is there a letter from Brother Dazhu?"”
Sister-in-law replied: "A letter came some time ago, saying that I was too busy with work. I asked him to come back when he had a baby, and he said he might not have time. Alas, who is this?”
I comforted her and said, "It's good that he's busy, the more he's busy, the more he earns." Just wait and count the bills. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu said with a hint of expectation: "I hope so." ”
We chatted as we worked, and it didn't take long for us to finish the farm work. My sister-in-law went home, and I went back to my family's field to continue working.
That day, when I got home from work, my mother told me that Dazhu had an accident at the construction site. Uncle Liu and Xiuxiu received the telegram and hurried to the Xi'an construction site.
I thought to myself, Dazhu has a strong body, and he has been a bricklayer for so many years, how can something happen?Sister-in-law Xiu is a few months pregnant, don't let anything happen to her during such a hard journey.
A few days later, Uncle Liu and sister-in-law returned to Xiu. It turned out that the big column fell from the scaffolding and the rescue was ineffective. Aunt Liu and Sister-in-law Xiu were heartbroken, and my mother stayed with them all day long, comforting and comforting.
That night, I also went to Liu's house. Seeing Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu in tears, I couldn't help but shed tears. Uncle Liu said to me: "Huzi, Xiuxiu has not eaten or drunk for the past few days, and she is about to collapse." You can talk, go and persuade her. ”
So, I went to my sister-in-law's house. When she saw me, she burst into tears again. I said to her, "Sister-in-law Xiu, you are pregnant with Liujia, don't be too sad. You can't come back to life after death, but you have to move on. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu cried and said, "Huzi, how are you going to live this day?"I don't even want to live. ”
I comforted her, "Don't say anything like that. You're only 22 years old, and there are still plenty of possibilities in life. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu glanced at me, wiped her tears, and said, "Huzi, I look like this, will anyone want it in the future?"”
I said, "Of course." You are so beautiful, kind, hardworking, and you will definitely have a bright future. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu glanced at me and asked, "Is Xiuxiu so good?"”
I replied, "In my heart, you are so good." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu said, "Thank you, Huzi. ”
I looked at my sister-in-law's sadness and said to her, "Sister-in-law Xiu, you can go back to your parents' house for a few days, change the environment, maybe you can adjust your mood, and you will feel better." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu nodded.
A few days later, when I came home from work, my mother told me that my sister-in-law had returned from her parents' house, and her parents and sister had also come. The two families are arguing about the child.
It turned out that Sister-in-law Xiu's parents thought that it was difficult to find a partner with a child, and suggested that Sister-in-law Xiu drain the child in her belly.
Now, this child has become the only seedling of the old Liu family. Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, ** Ken. They knelt and begged Sister-in-law Xiu to give birth to the child and leave a descendant for the old Liu family to inherit the incense.
Here is the kindness of my parents, there is the hard work of my in-laws, and my sister-in-law doesn't know what to do.
When I got home, Uncle Liu came to look for me. In the evening, he had come to my house several times to look for me. He thought that I was knowledgeable and reasonable, and asked me to persuade my sister-in-law to give birth to the child. He said that I got along well with my sister-in-law, and that she might listen to me.
After dinner, I was ready to go to Liu's house. My mother stopped me and said, "Huzi, this is not easy to do, you better leave it alone." Whoever you persuade, you will always offend one side. If something happens in the future, you will be blamed if you don't get it right. ”
I said, "Mom, this can't be done here." We have been good neighbors with Uncle Liu for many years, and he just lost his son, so we have to help him. ”
My mom stopped squeaking.
I know that the key to whether to keep this child or not lies in Sister-in-law. As long as you make Sister-in-law Xiu clear, there will be nothing to do. When I came to Liu's house, I saw that the atmosphere was very depressing, so I said to Sister-in-law Xiu: "Sister-in-law Xiu, it's a little hot in the house, let's go out for a walk." ”
My sister-in-law and I went to the small river at the edge of the village. We sat silently on the grass, and no one spoke. After being silent for a while, I said to Sister-in-law Xiu, "Sister-in-law Xiu, I think it's better to leave the child behind." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu asked, "Why?"”
I said, "First, this child is the crystallization of your love with Dazhu, and he is also a life." Second, you are a month old in pregnancy, and inducing labor is very harmful to the body. It is likely to have an impact on later pregnancies. Third, this child is the only hope for Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, if you snuff out this hope for them, what is the point of them living?”
Sister-in-law Xiu said: "Huzi, why should I try to keep the child?"He's my flesh and blood. However, I still have a long way to go, so I have to marry again. With a child, who would want me?”
I said, "Why doesn't anyone want it?".You're so beautiful, someone doesn't have to get it if you want it. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu sighed and said, "Huzi, don't use these useless words to ease my heart. If it were you, would you marry a little widow with a child?”
Me?"When I heard my sister-in-law ask me this, I didn't know how to answer.
To be honest, I like sister-in-law Xiu. Even if she has a child, I am willing to marry her. But will my mom say yes?Now there are people in the village who are talking about it, saying that Sister-in-law Xiu's life is hard, Kefu. I don't believe in superstition, but I can't help but consider my mother's feelings. Besides, Dazhu hasn't been around for a long time, and it's not the right time to talk about it now.
So I said to Sister-in-law Xiu: "Sister-in-law Xiu, I dare to give you a ticket, you will definitely find a satisfactory partner." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu listened and said, "Okay, since you dare to pack tickets, I will listen to you." However, Huzi, if I can't find a satisfactory one in the future, I'll settle accounts with you, you can't run away!”
I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Xiu, don't worry, I will live next door to your house, I can't run!."”
I finally made sense of my sister-in-law, and Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu thanked me a lot.
One day after a few months, I came home from work, and my father told me that my sister-in-law was going to give birth, and my mother was helping out at her house. Although I can't help a woman give birth to a child, I didn't worry about my sister-in-law, so I hurried to Uncle Liu's house.
As soon as Aunt Liu saw me, she said to me anxiously: "Huzi, Xiuxiu was about to give birth yesterday, and she hasn't ...... yet."The midwife is gone. Huzi, what can I do? ”
When I heard this, I quickly said, "Aunt Liu, you can't drag it at home, you have to send it to the hospital quickly!."Prepare things quickly. ”
Immediately, Uncle Liu found a recliner and rope. My mother and Aunt Liu carried Sister-in-law Xiu onto the recliner, and Uncle Liu and my father took turns carrying Sister-in-law Xiu to the township hospital.
By the time we arrived at the hospital, our underwear was soaked with sweat. Fortunately, it was delivered in time, and Sister-in-law Xiu gave birth to a big fat boy by caesarean section. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were so happy that they named the child Tiedan.
After Sister-in-law Xiu came back from the hospital, Aunt Liu specially invited our family to dinner. Xiuxiu recovered well, she hugged the iron egg and said to me, "Huzi, Xiuxiu thank you." ”
I said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"We are good neighbors and good friends, so what do you say 'thank you'?”
Sister-in-law Xiu said: "Huzi, I'm not a sister-in-law now." I'm younger than you, I'll call you brother, you can call me sister. ”
I said, "Sister-in-law Xiu, I'm used to calling it Xi, or call Sister-in-law Xiu Shunkou." Actually, I've always regarded you as a sister in my heart. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu glanced at me and said, "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." ”
During the meal, Uncle Liu said to me: "Huzi, thanks to your help during this time, Uncle Liu will not say thank you." You see, this iron egg is hard enough, and he will have no father as soon as he is born. I discussed with Xiuxiu, I want him to be your godson, and you will be his godfather, you won't be unwilling. ”
When Uncle Liu said this, I saw that my sister-in-law was looking at me, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
I said, "Yes, I have a son out of thin air, how could I not want to?".”
Tie Dan has gradually grown up, and he has learned to call "Mom" and "Dad". I also fulfilled my godfather responsibilities and often hugged him and teased him. Sister-in-law Xiu often comes to my house with iron eggs, and when she sees me, she asks him to call me "godfather". But Tie Dan didn't speak smoothly, so he often called me "Dad" directly. I often corrected him, saying, "Iron egg, call godfather." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu blushed and said, "Brother, the child is so young, what do you have to worry about him?"If he calls him Daddy, he will call him Daddy, and you will not lose a piece of meat. ”
I said, "Okay, listen to my sister." ”
After that, Tie Dan called me "Dad" when he saw me.
After about a year, sister-in-law Xiu finally came out of the shadow of bereavement. There was a sweet smile on the ruddy face again. Sister-in-law Xiu is really beautiful, and there are a few young people with good conditions who have taken a fancy to her, and they have asked a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.
Because of this, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu died of embarrassment. They really don't want Sister-in-law Xiu to leave this house, and they don't want her to take the iron egg away. However, now that it is a new society, and sister-in-law Xiu is so young, it is difficult for them to prevent her from remarrying. So the old couple was in a hurry at home.
When I learned the news, I felt very uncomfortable. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I like my sister-in-law more and more. I've talked to my mom about it. At first, she firmly refused. Later, I couldn't stand my soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally agreed. I was about to find a chance to talk to my sister-in-law about this, but I didn't expect someone to take the lead.
I can't sit back, I have to confess to my sister-in-law. If she doesn't like me, I'll have to resign myself to my fate.
So, I went to find my sister-in-law after dinner. Unexpectedly, as soon as I had dinner, my sister-in-law came to me. She said, "Brother, come out for a while, I have something to do with you." ”
We came to the stream, and before I could speak, my sister-in-law told me about the matchmaker's door-to-door proposal.
I said, "Well, I was right last time." Zheng Xiuxiu is so beautiful, there should be many people who pursue it. ”
Sister-in-law Xiu said, "Brother, do you remember when you packed the ticket for me?"”
I replied, "Of course I do." Is anyone interested in you right now?”
Sister-in-law Xiu said: "Brother, you said that I found a satisfactory partner, but none of the matchmaker's introductions are suitable." What to do?”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, there is a young man who has liked you for a long time, and I don't know if you are satisfied." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu asked, "Who is it?"Say it. ”
I said, "Liu He!."”
Sister-in-law Xiu was stunned for a moment, but after a while, she came back to her senses, hugged me excitedly and said, "Silly Huzi, why didn't you say it earlier if you like me?"Makes me suffer. ”
I explained: "Sister, you are so beautiful, I'm afraid you don't like my brother and think my brother is incompetent." ”
Sister-in-law Xiu smiled and said: "You are such a fool, I let Tie Dan call you father, don't you still understand my heart?."”
yes, I'm such a fool, why don't I understand Sister-in-law's heart?I hugged my sister-in-law tightly, and our two hearts finally stuck together.
I sent my sister-in-law home and was about to talk to Uncle Liu about this, and found that Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were already waiting for me at my house. As soon as they saw me, they fell to their knees. I was taken aback, and hurriedly helped them up, saying, "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, if you have anything, just say it, don't be like this, torture me." ”
Uncle Liu said: "Huzi, you are so big, we haven't begged you for anything, today we beg you, you marry Xiuxiu." Entrust Xiuxiu and Tie Dan to you, we can rest assured. In this way, we can also see the iron egg every day and take care of the iron egg. If Xiuxiu remarries and takes away the iron egg, we won't be able to live. ”
When I heard this, I was finally relieved. said: "Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, Huzi promises you." Xiuxiu and I are already together. Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiuxiu and Tiedan, and Xiuxiu and I will be as filial to you as Dazhu. ”
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu said happily: "Great, great." ”
During the Spring Festival that year, Xiuxiu and I tied the knot. The next year, she gave birth to a lovely daughter.
