Chapter 3 On the Road(1/2)

"Xiuzhi, your cousin sent a letter saying that she found a partner for you at the ranch."

Li Xiuzhi's father Li Dongsheng couldn't help but say while eating.

His wife Liu Cuihua had kicked him several times under the table just now.

He really had no choice.

He looked at the porridge on the table and could see the bottom of the bowl and said helplessly.

Li Xiuzhi was stunned when she heard her father's words. She knew that what was supposed to come came anyway.

There are currently seven people in the family. In addition to her parents, she also has two brothers.

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

Not long ago, I gave birth to a boy, Li Tianyou, who is the eldest grandchild in the family.

It can be said that all the delicious food in their family is subsidized to my sister-in-law.

Otherwise, there simply won’t be enough milk.

My younger brother, Li Jianjun, is thirteen or fourteen years old, when he is old enough to eat.

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

Although she has always been hardworking and capable.

However, we encountered famine and the current turbulent times.

There is nothing she can do!

In this day and age, it is not easy to get married, and no one has enough food left!

At this time, I don’t know how many generations apart there is a distant cousin.

The letter sent gave their family a strange idea.

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

But she knew there was really nothing she could do about this situation.

One more person means one more mouth, and there really isn't that much food at home.

"Xiuzhi, your cousin said that the person she introduced to you is the son of the captain of Team 6 of their ranch."

"He's still a carriage driver, that's right~ that's right~"

"Well~ after you get married, the other party will send food to our family~"

Her mother Liu Cuihua was also very unhappy, but there was nothing she could do!

She couldn't go on talking about the situation of her daughter's partner.

Not only because of some brain problems, but also because he is lame and has difficulty moving.

Otherwise, Xiu Zhi, a cousin who is separated by several lifetimes, can contact them?

The main reason is that if Xiuzhi marries her, she will give their family a hundred pounds of fine grain and fifty yuan.

This cousin of Li Xiuzhi is Li Xiujuan.

In the 1960s, I had no choice but to come to the grassland pasture.

Because of her good looks, the most important thing is that it is difficult for men there to find a wife.

In the end, he was attracted by the eldest son of the captain of the sixth team and married him back.

Now his brother cannot get a wife because of those problems.

Li Xiujuan then thought of her distant cousin and wrote that letter.

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

After all, they are relatives, so it's better to explain this kind of thing clearly.

Although her mother didn't tell her clearly, how could a smart girl like Li Xiuzhi not know.

Two lines of clear tears could not help but flow out.

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

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

After all, Li Dongsheng still couldn't stop being so cruel.

This is his biological daughter!

If there is no other way, who would have the heart to push his own daughter into the fire pit.

"Old man, you~hey~"

When Liu Cuihua heard what her husband said, she kicked him from under the table.

But in the end I could only sigh deeply.

How could she not feel distressed? It was all meat that fell from her body!

"Dad, Mom, I'm going." Li Xiuzhi wiped her tears with her sleeve and said.

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

Although the person my cousin spoke to was not good.

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

When the time comes, just replace the one hundred pounds of fine grains with coarse grains.

They can spend this year together as a family.

"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 if Xiuzhi gets married, she can be like her cousin and live a good life in the end.

So Xiuzhi and two girls from the same village embarked on the road to the Qilian Mountain grassland.

In the days to come, every time Xiuzhi recalled this, she would slowly sigh with emotion.

She didn't expect that this decision would change her life.

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

Xiuzhi only brought a small bag with a piece of clothing full of patches.

And my mother’s favorite red scarf.

According to my mother, she brought this red scarf with her when she got married.

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

This is her food along the way.

As for a kettle to hold water, they don't have one at home.

If she wanted to drink water, she could only do it on the road.

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

He waved goodbye to his parents and left.

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

Some relatives also went to the ranch that year.

I have already asked my relatives over there to find a partner, and like Xiu Zhi, she is ready to marry.

The three of them secretly came to the train station and, with the help of kind-hearted people, got on a truck carrying bricks.

It can be considered a special car!

This was their first time taking a train, but unfortunately it wasn't that kind of bus.

It was really cold and windy on the train.

The sisters could only hug each other for warmth.

Xiuzhi took out the red scarf her mother gave her.

He grabbed it hard with both hands and wrapped it around his head.

Being blown by the wind, there was a feeling of "lifting your red hijab".

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

But Xiuzhi has no such thoughts now.

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

A stupid man with physical defects.

Even if she is working hard, you can imagine the future.
To be continued...
