Chapter 14 Weng-in-law

  He is honest and steady, he doesn’t go out to cause trouble, and he can make money with a little wit.

   Judging from the relationship between the couple since childhood, he loves and protects his wife and knows how to love her. How reliable is such a man.

  Su Weizhong looked at Xu Shiyan, and felt that the more he looked, the more pleasing he was, and it was good everywhere.

  The happier he was now, the more he drank, and in the end, he simply held onto Xu Shiyan's hand and wouldn't let go.

   "Shiyan, good boy, it's really good, father doesn't regret marrying his daughter to you.

  In the future, I will not ask for anything else, as long as you treat Yingzi well, dad will be satisfied. "Su Weizhong said, the circles of his eyes turned red.

   "It's not easy for Yingzi to be a child. She lost her mother when she was two years old, and even a grown man like me can't take care of her well.

  But she has been sensible since she was a child. As a little baby, she can dress, comb her hair and wash her face by herself, so I don’t need to worry about it.

  When he grows up, he is even more capable. He can do everything at home and outside, and he needs to use it better than a boy. "The more Su Weizhong said, the more sad he became.

  Su Weizhong served as a soldier and participated in the battle on the other side of the Yalu River. After returning to his hometown, he married Su Anying's mother, Sun.

   After giving birth to Su Anying, Mrs. Sun contracted tuberculosis, and passed away two years later, leaving behind her husband and daughter.

  Su Weizhong is a big man, how can he live with a little boy? So with the help of others, she married Han Cai'e who had fled with her daughter.

  Han married and gave birth to four daughters for Su Weizhong.

   There are six daughters in this family. No matter how capable Su Weizhong is, he has to work hard to earn money to support him, and he can't take care of the family at all.

   Fortunately, Mrs. Han has a good personality, and she treats Su Anying justifiably, never beats, scolds or abuses, and eats and clothes like the others.

  Of course, a stepmother is a stepmother after all, and it is impossible to say that she is not partial.

   Otherwise, why is it that Su Anying didn't go to school all day for the whole family?

  Su Anying has been capable since she was a child, and she has coaxed her children behind her back since she was five or six years old. A little bigger, you can do all the laundry and cooking.

  After the age of fifteen or sixteen, they go to the fields to earn work points when they are busy in farming, and go to the mountains to collect firewood when they are not in the field.

   It can be said that Su Anying helped support half of the family.

  Sometimes, Su Weizhong also feels ashamed of his daughter, no matter what, he should let Su Anying study for a few years, even if he graduated from primary school.

  Han’s daughter, Qin Meiling, graduated from elementary school and later became a substitute teacher. She married to Hunjiang last year, and her husband works in Hunjiang Department Store.

  After the two got married, Qin Meiling was transferred to Jianshe Elementary School and became a regular.

  Su Anying didn't study for a day, so she could only work in the fields to earn work points, and she could only find a partner from the agricultural team.

  Compared with the two, can Su Weizhong feel better?

   But what can he do? He has been married to the Han family for many years, and he has four daughters, and his relationship is deeper than that of the Sun family.

   It is not easy for the Han family to do this for this family. Could he still blame the Han family for this matter?

  For the sake of this family, Su Weizhong can only continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

   Xu Shiyan, who has been a man for two generations, can't understand the meaning of what the father-in-law said? Can't help but sigh.

  His little daughter-in-law is really pitiful.

   "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yingzi, my daughter-in-law well. I have to love her when others don't love her."

  Xu Shiyan looked serious, and assured the old man in a solemn tone.

   "Hey, hey, good, good, Dad can see that you are a good person, I will leave Yingzi to you, I am relieved."

  Su Weizhong raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, smiled, and nodded repeatedly.

   "Look at you, Weng and son-in-law, why don't you drink and talk about it? Come on, drink quickly."

  Su Weicheng on the other end also drank a lot, his tongue was a bit stiff, and he even dragged others to drink with him.

  The wine was drank from half past eleven to a little sooner, and it made several men drink up and down.

   Now, there is no need to work, and they all fall asleep.

  Fortunately, Su Weizhong arranged today's work in the morning, and it's okay if he doesn't go in the afternoon.

  Among the few people, Xu Shiyan was the most restrained. The first time the new son-in-law came to the door, he made people get drunk, that would be too embarrassing.

  Xu Shiyan can still drink, and because he knows he has nothing to drink, so Su Weizhong and the others are drunk, and Xu Shiyan barely stays awake, just resting on the kangqin at the top of the kang.

   "How are you? If you feel uncomfortable, lie down for a while, don't hold on."

  After the table was removed, Su Anying sat beside her husband, raised her hand worriedly, touched Xu Shiyan's forehead, and asked softly.

   "It's okay, there's nothing to do, I'll just sit here for a while, the alcohol will subside after a while, don't worry." Xu Shiyan held his daughter-in-law's hand and smiled at her.

  Su Anying was worried, poured a glass of water for Xu Shiyan, and sat with him for a while.

   When Xu Shiyan's alcohol gradually receded and his eyes became clearer, Su Anying felt relieved.

  The rule of newlyweds returning home is that they have to go home before the sun goes down.

  At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a slow train from Tonghua to Baihe passing Xianren Bridge. Xu Shiyan and Su Anying happened to be able to take this bus back home.

  Just after three o'clock, Han called Su Weizhong up. After the couple discussed it, they went to the warehouse to pack a lot of rice and grain, etc., and brought it back to the young couple.

   "You two come back, and there is nothing good for you at home. You two take this little food back, fill in some more, and wait until the autumn harvest."

  The Su family has a large population, but they are all daughters, and they don’t eat that much, so there is some food left in the family.

  If there is no separation, Su Weizhong will not mention this problem, a big family, this little food is not enough to do.

  Now the young couple lives alone, and they don’t eat much. A bag of food can last for a few days, and Su Weizhong doesn’t feel bad about it.

   "Oh, dad, it's not necessary, let's keep it at home to eat.

  When we separated, we shared some food, enough for us to eat until autumn. "How can Xu Shiyan ask for food from his father-in-law? He quickly refused.

   "Look at you kid, are you still seeing me? Yingzi has been working at home all these years, and she earned this ration." Su Weizhong looked unhappy.

   "She went out, and she didn't bring anything with her at home. It's just this little food, why don't you tear it up with me?

  Take it quickly, or you won't come back later. "

  The father-in-law said something harsh, what else could Xu Shiyan say? I can only obey obediently. "Hey, then I'll take it."

  It will be a long time in Japan. If there is a chance in the future, just send more things. Human relations, that’s how it is, there will be back and forth.

  The same is true for the father-in-law and son-in-law, who have to move around frequently.

  Over there, Mrs. Han also found Su Anying's old clothes and made a bundle for her to carry.

   "Living at home, save as much as you can. Wear old clothes to work in the field, and don't feel bad when they are dirty. If they are really worn out, you can still wear insoles."

   "I will come back often in the future, no matter what time it is, this is also your home."

   After all, he is a child raised since he was a child. Even if he is not his own, he still has feelings. Before leaving, Han Shi urged him earnestly.

   "My uncle is a good one. You two get along well. If you have a baby early, your father and I will be at ease."
