Su Xiaoruan went up the mountain with Su Jianye in the morning and got a total of two rabbits and one pheasant. Su Xiaoruan wanted to eat chicken, so she gave both rabbits to Su Dalan.

Su Jianye's original intention was for her to send one to her elders to avoid being gossiped about again.

But Su Dalan is not so generous. She stewed a rabbit at noon today. She added a pound of pork belly to it, and there was still a pound of pork belly left. She wanted to make dumplings tomorrow. As for the other rabbit, she wanted to make it smoked.

As for rabbits, they can be kept for a few more days.

Su Dalan was not unwilling to give it to her parents-in-law at all, so she filled out a bowl and asked Gao Dazhuang to send it over.

Gao Da Zhuang was naturally happy when he saw that his wife had also left a bowl for his parents.

Not to mention whether the people in the old house were happy or not, I just wanted to say that the lunch at Su Dalan's house was delicious.

Su Dalan's family usually eats coarse grains and is reluctant to eat every meal. After all, the grain is distributed once a year and cannot be skipped.

Moreover, there is no business these days, and the family occasionally needs nutrition, and has to exchange grain with others for some eggs or meat.

In the evening, Yu Xiaowei came again.

When Su Dalan saw him, she didn't rush him away this time and let him into the house.

"Xiaowei, I don't know who you heard these gossips from, but that relative of mine gave birth to a stillborn child. I'm not the only one who knows about this. Think about it, how can any mother give birth to a son and not want it?"

reason?"

Nowadays, people generally favor boys over girls. I have heard of people who throw away baby girls, but I have never heard of people who throw away baby boys.

Even if you throw away a baby boy, it must be converted into money. How can you give it to others for free?

Yu Xiaowei actually believed it two or three times in his heart, but he also thought that what his cousins ​​​​swore so categorically did not seem to be false.

"Grandma, I just want to know what my mother and father do, and why they don't want me. As Shuanzi said, I'm not disabled, I don't have arms or legs, and I'm not sick.

Why did you throw me away?"

Su Dalan felt a little distressed when she heard this.

Although they are all from the same county, Yu Lanzhuang can almost be said to be on the edge of the county. Their accent here is quite different from that of the Red Star Brigade, and many of the names are adopted from neighboring counties.

The housekeeper here is called auntie, and everyone calls her that way whether she is a relative or a fellow villager.

"Xiaowei, you are good at everything and there is nothing you are worse than others. Think about how bad your life is now? Your parents love you and built you a new house. They will wait two years before giving you a wife.

Once you get married, isn’t your little life beautiful?

Xiaowei, don’t blame grandma for speaking harshly. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, everyone was poor and life was difficult. Have you ever thought that your parents’ family had too many children and couldn’t afford them?”

Yu Xiaowei was stunned. He had never thought of this possibility.

"Xiaowei, do you really need to find out what happened back then? Go out and ask around. Which commune has a few people who were abandoned? What will happen even if your biological parents are found?

?What if they are not having a good life now? What if they admit it? You must not be taken advantage of again. If your good life is ruined by you again, you will have to work hard.

What do your parents, who have raised you for so many years, think?"

Yu Xiaowei said nothing.

After sitting for a while, Gao Dazhuang took his children out to play, and Yu Xiaowei also felt that there was no need to stay here any longer.

There is no electricity in Yulanzhuang yet, so most people light kerosene lamps at night.

By the time it was completely dark, almost half of the people in the village had gone to bed, not wanting to waste any more money.

Yu Xiaowei lay in his room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Yu Xiaowei got up and wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, when he happened to hear his parents talking.

In fact, she just felt that Xiaowei was too easily instigated, and Xiaoweiniang mentioned more than once that the nephews of the Yu family were plotting against his house.

Yu Xiaowei was very smart. After thinking about what he said at Gao's house today, he finally gave up his thoughts.

And Su Wenying couldn't sleep well for two days in a row. At night, she always dreamed that the son she had never met came to her and scolded her for being unworthy of being a mother.

Su Wenying was frightened awake for two days in a row, and the man seemed to have lost his energy.

After all, Xu Huiyang still felt sorry for her. Seeing her wilting, he naturally cared a little more.

"Nothing, Huiyang, I'm thinking of going back to the Red Star Brigade. Can you see if you can give me some money?"

Xu Huiyang would never believe that his mother suddenly had a conscience.

After so many years, his mother has never taken the initiative to send filial piety money to my grandparents.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"I just suddenly remembered something from my childhood. Now that I'm older, I always feel that I owe your grandma and the others. Please prepare some money for me."

"Mom, I really don't have much money left. We haven't been married for a long time, plus we have to raise money for my little sister's tuition and books for the next semester. I just gave gifts to several leaders on August 15th.

There really is no money left.”

This is not Xu Huiyang's excuse.

Giving some gifts to the leader's family during the holidays is considered a normal exchange of favors, but Su Wenying is reluctant to spend money. She always feels that her son has forgotten his mother after marrying a daughter-in-law, and even the living expenses are so generous, so she doesn't do anything about the gifts.

Being busy doesn't help either.

Xu Huiyang and his wife were not angry. They had wages, but they just saved less money.

But now Su Wenying said that she wanted to honor her elders. Although Xu Huiyang asked for money, Xu Huiyang was not willing to give it.

Why?

Because Xu Huiyang knew very well that Su Wenying had at least three to four hundred yuan on hand right now.

I had never mentioned this before, and Xu Huiyang also felt that this was his biological mother, so she could keep the money in her hands and be able to take care of herself in her old age.

Unexpectedly, Su Wenying didn't want to touch her own money, but she had the idea of ​​​​her son.

"Huiyang, Mom really doesn't have much money left. You only give me this little in a month. I'm not a god, can I still make gold?"

Xu Huiyang was unmoved: "When does mom plan to return to the Red Star Brigade?"

Su Wenying didn't hide it from him: "The day after tomorrow."

"Okay. My wife should still have a few kilograms of meat coupons in her hand. Let her buy a few kilograms of meat later. You can take it to grandma and grandpa."

Xu Huiyang felt that it was not a solar term at this time, so it was considered a big gift to bring two kilograms of meat back.

But Su Wenying was not happy anymore.

What she wanted to do was to take some money and have someone send it to Su Dalan, and then see if she could suppress the matter of the child looking for his biological mother.
