"Hey, Qingshan, why did you push the literary bicycle here? Don't break it!"

In the yard, Liu Jinfeng saw his younger brother pushing a bicycle in and recognized it as Gao Wenxu's broken bicycle at a glance.

After all, in the entire Jiapigou, apart from the bicycle owned by the captain's family, Gao Wenxue's bicycle was the only one on which she had ridden.

If you had a new bicycle at that time, it would be more awesome than driving a BMW or Audi in later generations.

"Sister, you haven't even gotten married yet, why are you starting to protect the family?"

Liu Qingshan said jokingly.

The result was that Liu Jinfeng pinched the ear and twisted it half a circle.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

It really hurt this time. Liu Qingshan grinned: "Sister, I will ride my bicycle to sell vegetables in the county tomorrow. I can't eat the vegetables in the garden anyway. Let's see if I can exchange some money."

There was no good way to make money for the time being, and it happened to be summer vacation, so he was going to give it a try.

Take a look around the county town to see if you can find any good business opportunities.

The quality of life at home needs to be improved, the eldest sister also needs money for her marriage, the second sister also needs money for studying, and grandpa also needs money for eye treatment.

He has some rough plans in mind, but it takes time to implement them, and he won't see any results in a short period of time.

Moreover, if he wants to do something, he also needs start-up capital. He urgently needs to earn the first pot of gold.

After hearing what his brother said, Liu Jinfeng let go and blew on his brother's red ears: "Qingshan, the county seat is forty or fifty miles away, and you haven't been there. Besides, can you ride a bicycle?"

"Sister, just take a look."

After saying that, Liu Qingshan jumped on the bicycle and walked around the street on his bicycle. He also performed a stunt of bending down to pick up dirt while holding on to the handle with one hand.

"Okay, okay, see what you can do."

Liu Jinfeng complained, but with a smile on his face, he went back to the house to cook with peace of mind.

When it was almost time to eat dinner, grandma came over with grandpa in hand, holding large and small parcels in her hands.

Liu Qingshan took a look and saw that these were four boxes of gifts from his soon-to-be brother-in-law. Except for the two bottles of wine left by his grandfather, he brought the remaining three items.

Two bags of rice cakes, two pounds of sugar, and two bottles of canned food, one with hawthorn and one with orange segments.

Laosi Caifeng's eyes widened at that time.

Putting these things on the kang, grandma touched the little head of the fourth child and said: "This is for your eldest sister's health. Our Caifeng is sensible and cannot compete with the eldest sister."

The little fourth child's little face suddenly twitched, but he still nodded: "Brother, I know, there is a baby in the eldest sister's belly."

This girl is very clever. She could understand what the adults were talking about just now by playing with her ears.

As a result, Liu Jinfeng was embarrassed, and Lin Zhi quickly warned: "Sifeng'er, you must not go out and tell others."

"If you don't tell me, I'll be the ** in the movie!"

The little old man raised his fist and said firmly.

In the end, half of the cakes and canned sugar were given back to the grandparents.

In this era of scarcity, it is really difficult to eat good food.

Therefore, it tastes particularly fragrant and can keep people coming back for decades.

"Dad, Mom, what do you think we should do about Da Feng'er's marriage?"

Lin Zhi poured water for the two old people and then started a small family meeting.

The participants were mainly grandparents, Lin Zhi and Liu Jinfeng. As for Liu Yinfeng, Liu Qingshan and Liu Caifeng, they also attended the meeting.

Grandpa spoke first: "No one in the family is here for this kid, Literary. According to the old rules, he is the son-in-law of our old Liu family, so we are responsible for taking care of it."

"If we follow the old principles, even if they give birth to a child, they will have to bear the surname of our old Liu family."

Liu Qingshan blinked: The old man has set the tone, but this idea is still a bit old-fashioned.

Of course, that's what he was thinking, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, there were still small bumps on his head from being knocked out with a broom.

After hearing this, Lin Zhi was slightly startled, and her face became even paler: arranging a wedding is really difficult for this family who can barely make ends meet.

Even if we don't prepare a banquet and give out some wedding candies to relatives and friends, the two children still have to make new clothes, right? They have to make a few new quilts, right?

Where can I get this money?

Although the land was divided last winter, everyone is growing their own crops, and their motivation is high. By autumn, they will definitely be able to harvest a lot more grain and make more money.

But that won't take several months.

Da Feng'er's belly will definitely have to show off by then. If it doesn't work, even she, the mother-in-law, won't be able to see anyone.

Liu Qingshan kept staring at his mother. When he saw his mother's frown, he couldn't help but feel distressed: It's so difficult for my mother to do this for this family!

He thought that a month later, he was admitted to high school, and his mother had to support two high school students by herself.

Then after the New Year, my eldest sister gave birth, and all the burdens of the family fell on my mother's already thin shoulders.

So, by the time Liu Qingshan finished college, his mother was completely exhausted and collapsed in the corn field.

Then... he never stood up.

No, none of this will happen again!

Liu Qingshan muttered silently in his heart...

Obviously, Liu Jinfeng also knew about the situation at home, and said: "Mistress, I am getting married, not looking for a son-in-law. Should I go to literature to get married?"

"No!"

Grandpa spoke up again, "Literature and Gangzi live on the north and south Kangs, and the house is similar to a pigsty. Ganzi is an old bachelor, who knows what the fuck he can do."

Liu Qingshan thought about the scene he just saw. Uncle Zhanzi was walking a bird in broad daylight. Who can rest assured?

Let’s look for a house again. Every house in the village is crowded now, and there is nowhere to find an empty house.

As for building a new house, even Liu Qingshan doesn't dare to think about it now.

At this time, I heard my grandma say: "Zhi'er, I'll give you this. Go to the county to exchange for some money so that you can arrange the marriage for Da Feng'er."

While grandma was talking, she took out a small cloth bag from her arms and opened it. Inside was a pair of gold bracelets.

The surface is a bit old and not so golden, but the Baoguang is restrained and still attracts attention.

"Mom, I can't do it, I absolutely can't do it." Lin Zhi waved her hands when she saw her.

Of course she knew that this was one of the jewelry items given by her mother-in-law when the old lady got married.

In the past few years, other items have been sold off one after another to subsidize the family. Now, this is the only thing left to think about.

Liu Jinfeng also stepped forward with red eyes, wrapped the bracelet again, and stuffed it back into grandma's hand: "Grandma, even if I don't get married, I can't sell this thing."

"Now there are new things and new things to do. When the time comes, just buy some wedding candies and let our family have a reunion dinner, that'll be it!"

"Well, this thing will be passed on to you sooner or later anyway." The old lady patted the back of Liu Jinfeng's hand and said with concern.

Then the old man also spoke: "Okay, that's it. This bracelet is left here and is not for eating or drinking. It is better to sell it to Jinfeng for work."

Now, no one dared to refute it.

At home, the old man's words always mean what he says.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull, with only Liu Yinfeng still lowering her head and struggling with her English book.

"Caifeng, I'll give you some cake."

Grandma loves her little granddaughter and opens her share of cakes.

The outside is wrapped with yellow oil paper and wrapped on all sides with thin paper ropes. Although there is a layer of paper between them, the aroma of the pastry still comes out.

The things at that time were all real materials and did not contain any additives.

The fourth child was actually greedy for a long time. He glanced at his mother, then quickly took it, put it to his mouth, and nibbled slowly.

"Brother, you should take a sip, just a small sip. I will send the rest to Shan Xing."

After nibbling half of the sweet and soft glutinous rice cake, the little guy brought the rice cake to Liu Qingshan's mouth.

Although later generations had eaten and seen it, Liu Qingshan felt that this was the best taste in the world when he smelled the aroma of the pastry.

"Go ahead and give it all to Shan Xing."

Liu Qingshan was satisfied after hearing this, waved his hand and said.

Seeing the fourth child skipping out of the house, grandma sighed: "Fortunately, Wen Wen is a good boy, and he didn't leave our eldest son Feng'er like a father, so this marriage is even more impossible.

It was done sloppily.”

Alas, Lin Zhi could only sigh helplessly.

At this time, the fourth child ran back boundingly, followed by another little yellow-haired girl, Shan Xing'er.

Shan Xing'er bowed sensibly and said timidly: "My mother asked me to come over. Thank you, grandparents, and thank you Aunt Lin."

Although her mother is crazy, she is not always crazy.

Normally, he looks like a normal person, but there are always a few days every month when he gets sick, and he sings songs all over the village.
