Chapter 3 On the Road(1/2)

"Xiuzhi, your cousin wrote to you and said he had found a partner in the ranch."

Li Xiuzhi's father Li Dongsheng couldn't help but say while having a meal.

Just now, his wife Liu Cuihua had already kicked him under the table several times.

He really had no choice.

He said helplessly as he looked at the porridge at the bottom of the bowl on the table.

Li Xiuzhi was stunned when she heard her father's words. She knew that what she should come or not.

There are now seven people in the family, and in addition to her parents, she has two brothers.

My brother Li Jianguo got his family last year and married a girl from his mother's village named Liu Manli.

Not long ago, he gave birth to a boy named Li Tianyou, who is the eldest grandson of the family.

It can be said that all the delicious foods in their family are subsidized to their sister-in-law.

Otherwise, the milk would not be enough.

My younger brother Li Jianjun is thirteen or fourteen years old, and it is the time to eat.

In this family that prefers boys over girls, Li Xiuzhi's existence seems a bit redundant.

Although she has always been hardworking and capable.

But when it comes to famine, it encounters this turbulent year and month.

She has no choice!

It’s not easy to get married in this year, and no family has any surplus food!

At this time, I don’t know how many generations I have separated from my distant cousin.

The letter sent here gave their family a strange idea.

Li Xiuzhi's eyes were red. She overheard her parents' conversation last night.

But she knew there was no way to do this.

One more person means one more mouth, and there is really not so much food at home.

"Xiuzhi, your cousin said that the person you are introducing to you is the son of the captain of their team 6 of the ranch."

"It's still a carriage, just~ that's~"

"That~ After you get married, the other party will send our family food~"

Her mother Liu Cuihua felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing we could do!

She couldn't continue talking about the situation of this daughter's partner.

Not only because of some brain problems, but also a cripple and it is not convenient to move.

Otherwise, Xiuzhi, a cousin who has been away for several lifetimes, could she contact them?

The main reason is that Xiuzhi married, and the other party would give their family a hundred kilograms of fine grain and still fifty yuan.

Li Xiuzhi's cousin Li Xiujuan.

In 1960, there was no way to come to the grassland ranch.

Because he looks so handsome, the most important thing is that it is difficult for men there to marry a wife.

In the end, he was attracted by the eldest son of the captain of Team Six and married him.

Now his younger brother cannot get married because of those problems.

Li Xiujuan remembered her distant cousin and then got the letter.

Li Xiujuan did not lie to their family, and the situation was well written.

After all, it is a relative, so it is better to explain this kind of thing clearly.

Although my mother didn't explain it thoroughly, how could Li Xiuzhi, a smart girl, not know?

Two lines of clear tears couldn't help but shed.

Neither her brother nor her brother spoke, and they knew what this meant.

"This~ Xiuzhi, don't force yourself. If you don't want to go, we won't go."

After all, Li Dongsheng couldn't make up for this cruelty.

This is his own daughter!

If it weren't for nothing, who would have the heart to push his own daughter into the fire pit?

"Old man, you~oh~"

After hearing what her husband said, Liu Cuihua kicked him under the table.

But in the end, I could only sigh deeply.

How could she not feel sorry for her? The flesh fell from her body!

"Dad, mom, I'll go." Li Xiuzhi wiped her tears with her sleeves.

The kind girl finally decided to sacrifice herself to get a glimmer of hope for her family.

Although my cousin said the bad partner.

But the most important thing is to get some food for your family.

At that time, just replace the 100 kilograms of fine grains with coarse grains.

Their family can spend the year.

"Child~you~hey~"

Li Dongsheng opened his mouth for a long time, and finally he could only sigh.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

Maybe Xiuzhi can live a good life like her cousin after marrying her.

So Xiuzhi and two girls from the same village embarked on the road to the Qilian Mountains grasslands.

In the days that followed, Xiuzhi slowly sighed when she recalled this.

She didn't expect this decision to change her life.

It will allow her to meet someone who can truly stay with her for the rest of her life.

Xiuzhi brought only a small bag with a piece of patched clothes inside.

And the red turban that my mother likes the most.

According to her mother, this red turban was brought by her when she got married.

In addition to these, Liu Cuihua also prepared some mixed grain cakes for her.

This is her dry food along the way.

As for the water-filled kettle, they don't have it.

If you want to drink water, you can only let her solve it yourself on the way.

Three girls who were "going for the future" were riding in a carriage to the city.

He waved his hand and said goodbye to his parents and left.

One of them is Li Huifang and the other is Li Huijuan, and they are two sisters.

Some relatives also went to the ranch back then.

I have asked my relatives there to find a partner, and like Xiuzhi, they are all preparing to marry.

The three of them secretly came to the train station and, with the help of kind-hearted people, got into a brick car.

It's also a special car!

This is their first time taking a train, but unfortunately it is not the kind of bus.

The wind is really cold on the train.

The sisters can only hold a group to keep warm.

Xiuzhi took out the red scarf that her mother gave her.

He grabbed both hands and surrounded his head.

When blown by the wind, I actually felt like "lifting your red veil."

Because of this, I was specially teased by those two sisters for a long time.

But Xiuzhi doesn't have this idea now.

She knew very clearly what kind of husband she would face when she arrived at the ranch.

A foolish man with physical defects.

Even if she is hardworking, she can imagine the days she will be able to come.
