Yuhe couldn't understand. Li Youfu was four years older than her and already a twenty-year-old adult. Didn't he understand the true meaning of marriage? He was the same as Dacheng's wife at the beginning, thinking that getting married was just about finding a person to spank and nothing else?
She wanted to find the answer from Li Youfu's face, but Li Youfu always avoided her. Three meals a day are cooked by my mother, and they eat together when they go home. Li Youfu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and walked to the edge of the steps to eat and chat with his neighbors, without giving Yuhe a chance to get close to him.
was working in the mountains during the day. Yuhe was assigned to do this, and Li Youfu applied to the captain to do that. The two of them rarely get together.
Even more so at night. Occasionally, after falling asleep, Yuhe would roll onto Li Youfu's property against the wall. He would get up and wake Yuhe up with an angry look on his face. Yuhe quickly and obediently retreated to his half of the bed.
She had a premonition that Li Youfu had a reason for rejecting her.
Yuhe wanted to find out the situation from his sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law is named Zhang Guihua, and she is a woman with a poor life experience. Because she was the third daughter in the family, she was adopted as a daughter by her uncle and aunt who had no children. When she was 5 years old, her aunt gave birth to a boy. She became the family's long-term worker and nanny. She never went to school for a day. She had to cut grass and firewood whether it was raining or shine. She was responsible for the family's pig grass and cow grass, and also took care of them. younger brother.
She was released early after her younger brother went to school at the age of 7. However, due to lack of nutrition and poor health since she was a child, she was so nervous that she peed her pants when she went to visit a house with a matchmaker. Her adoptive parents felt embarrassed and returned her to her biological parents.
Her biological parents sent her back again. Her elder sister scolded her younger brother for not being a human being. A good child was given to her and ruined like this. She didn’t want to tell her earlier. She would not starve to death if she followed her own biological parents. Since she wanted to Children have to be responsible for their children. If they raise someone crippled or stupid, she won't cause trouble for them, but to rake the child back to her is really worse than a beast.
The two siblings are doing some tricks.
Zhang Guihua cried and begged them not to quarrel, saying that she would not marry anymore, and would help her parents at home with peace of mind, just like a girl and a slave, obeying their orders.
Zhang Guihua has really become the slave of her uncle, aunt, and brother from then on, looking at other people's expressions in disgrace and trying to survive in the cracks. It really has been several years since a matchmaker came to her door again to make matchmaking for her.
In those days, every family was not rich, and when looking for a partner, they had to find someone who was in poor health. In addition to eating, they also needed to seek medical advice. No one dared to take such risks. The news of bed-wetting spread so widely that no boy in the family would be willing to marry a woman who was famous for bed-wetting because it would be a shame.
It wasn’t until 4 years later that Li Dafu’s mother He Xiuying dragged a matchmaker to Zhang Guihua’s house to seek a match for her eldest son Li Dafu.
At that time, it was not long after the blind date between Li Dafu and Yu He failed that Li Youfu and Yu He began to talk about marriage. He Xiuying had always felt guilty because her eldest son fell ill with smallpox, and felt that she was too focused on doing things and failed to take good care of her sick son. Now that her second son's marriage was settled, she still robbed her eldest son of his food, but her eldest son was still Every time the blind date failed, I became more and more anxious.
She gave the matchmaker a fancy dress and asked her to find a suitable partner for her eldest son before her second son got married, even if the other person was not so smart, as long as he had a good personality, was not blind, and did not bow to his hands.
The matchmaker helped Li Dafu introduce Zhang Guihua a few days later. It was not hidden from He Xiuying that Zhang Guihua had a hard time working hard, and she had the problem of leaking urine when she was nervous. He Xiuying worked for Li Dafu and asked him not to dislike Zhang Guihua, saying that leaking urine was not a serious problem, but a physical weakness. After marrying him, he could take good care of her and make up for it.
Li Dafu said, do I have the right to dislike her? I am Mazi and she is Pee Bao. We are a perfect match.
Li Dafu's words were just words to stop him, but he didn't get angry with He Xiuying and completed the marriage process with Zhang Guihua that year.
Li Dafu is the eldest son in the family. He Xiuying insists that the marriages of the two brothers must be in order, and the younger brother cannot get married before the older brother. This is also the reason why Li Youfu and Yuhe went through the marriage process for more than a year. If the early rice is not ripe, the late rice will not be harvested.

Zhang Guihua is half a year older than Yuhe and entered the Li family ten months earlier than Yuhe. She got married in November of the first year, and Yuhe got married in September of the next year. When Yuhe got married, Zhang Guihua was already pregnant for six months.
Because she knew early on that Zhang Guihua was in poor health, He Xiuying cared very much for the eldest daughter-in-law of the family. Usually, most of the eggs laid by the hens at home are steamed for the head of the family, Li Zhouquan, to eat.
Li Zhouquan attended private school for several years and was one of the few teachers in the village who could read and write. But he was still only a semi-intellectual. He had neither taken the exams nor sought a position outside. He worked in the countryside all his life. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he inherited his ancestral business of pressing oil and grinding rice. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Later, the oil press became the collective property of the brigade, and Li Zhouquan became the brigade's accountant. He is not only responsible for the accounts of his own brigade, but is also often sent to neighboring brigade to do accounting.
There were too few scholars at that time. Most farmers had never been to school and were illiterate, and they were even more confused about settling accounts. At that time, labor production was carried out in production teams, and work points had to be recorded every day. At the middle of the year and the end of the year, the accountant added up the total work points, added up the income of the team, and then calculated the amount of grain corresponding to each division of labor. money. The basis for accounting is the work points calculated by the employees of each production team, which means that each production team must select a recorder to be responsible for recording work points every day.
This is more difficult than choosing a team leader. Li Zhouquan not only has to check their notebooks regularly, but also teaches them how to recognize and write the name of each worker in the team. Excessive mental work gave him migraines. Steamed eggs were a panacea for his migraines. Except for necessary social activities, he takes care of all the eggs in the house.
As soon as Zhang Guihua came, He Xiuying gave half of her love for men to Zhang Guihua. Seeing the daughter-in-law's obvious malnutrition, I felt pity for her, so when I steamed eggs for the man every morning, I steamed one for my daughter-in-law. Zhang Guihua had never received such kindness in her mother's family. She was so moved that she cried and refused to eat anything.
He Xiuying said, I am not treating you well, I want you to adjust your body and give birth to a grandson for me as soon as possible. Zhang Guihua went into the room holding the bowl. She was not used to it and did not dare to eat alone in front of her elders.
When she got into the room, she refused to eat. She took the opportunity to call Li Dafu into the room and asked him to eat. Li Dafu refused to eat, saying that mother steamed it for you to adjust your body. Zhang Guihua said that my health has improved since I arrived at your home and there is no need to adjust. Li Dafu said if mom wants you to be transferred, just do it. Will she still harm you? Zhang Guihua said, you can eat too, and we will eat together. Li Dafu ate with her.
Both of them ate very gracefully until He Xiuying called for breakfast outside. A steamed egg lingered in front of their mouths for five or six times, with more than half of it left.
When Li Dafu walked to the door, he turned around and told Zhang Guihua to eat quickly, and then went to the kitchen to get a bowl to eat. Zhang Guihua ate the remaining eggs by herself and went to the kitchen shyly. As soon as she put the egg bowl into the washing platform, Li Dafu thrust a bowl of rice into her hand.
He Xiuying looked at Li Dafu with satisfaction and asked Zhang Guihua: "Did you finish the eggs alone?"
Zhang Guihua lowered her head and said: "Yes."
He Xiuying asked again: "Where is the egg foam on Li Dafu's face?" "Come?"
Li Dafu quickly picked up a chopstick and ran outside to eat in the field.
He Xiuying looked at Li Youfu who was immersed in eating rice in his mouth and said, "You should learn from your brother and treat Yuhe well after you get married."
Li Youfu also ran to the harvest field with his rice.
The two younger sisters Xuemei and Xuelian looked at Zhang Guihua with smiles, and Zhang Guihua blushed with shame.
Newlyweds Li Dafu and Zhang Guihua are becoming more and more bold. They flirt with each other under the eyes of their parents at the dinner table, and even do things behind their backs while working on the mountain. With the nourishment of love, the pockmarks on Li Dafu's face turned into pleasing patterns, and Zhang Guihua's urinary incontinence was cured. In the fourth month after their marriage, Zhang Guihua became pregnant, and the whole family was overjoyed.
March 8th was Zhang Guihua’s birthday. He Xiuying killed a chicken on her birthday and put only one liter of sweet potato rice in every liter of rice for dinner. The whole family had a good meal together. Then, several older uncles and grandfathers in the family came to witness that Li Dafu, the eldest son of Li, and his wife separated from their parents.
It is a normal thing in rural areas for trees to diverge and children to diverge.
Li Dafu and Zhang Guihua were both reluctant to leave. Especially Zhang Guihua, who said she didn't want to separate the family and wanted to live with everyone.
He Xiuying said, from now on, you can live your own life. The younger brothers and sisters are our responsibility. We will try not to drag you down. You just need to love each other and live a good life.
