70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 709
After observing the chicken carefully, Xie Xiaonian realized that it was a pheasant from the mountain, it was obviously a chicken raised in the space.

It seems that Zhongjun and her father were a little embarrassed when they saw her sister-in-law was going to kill the family hen at noon, so they went up the mountain under the pretext of getting one out.

"This chicken is already dead, let's eat this one for lunch today, so we don't need to kill the hen at home." Xie Xiaonian said without revealing it.

"Then eat this one first, the chicken at home will wait two days before killing." Li Suxin replied with a smile.

When Xie Xiaonian and Li Suxin finished boiling the water, took off the chicken feathers, and were about to cook, the children came back bouncing back, led by the Wei family.

"Mom, let's eat fried fish today, we brought back a lot of small fish." As soon as the glutinous rice balls came back, he rushed into the kitchen and happily said to Xie Xiaonian.

"How did you get so many? You all picked it up, what did the others pick up?" Xie Xiaonian said in surprise when he saw half of the small fish in the bucket about the size of a palm.

For the fish caught in the team, the big fish must be kept for the whole team, and the small ones must be released. There are not many left for the children to pick up. On average, a child can pick up a few fish at most, like this It is really rare to get back half a barrel.

"Part of it was picked up by us, and part of it was exchanged by us and the kids in the team." Meatball said proudly.

"Exchange it? What did you exchange it with?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

She remembered that when the children went out, they didn't bring anything, not even snacks.

Moreover, the children in the village don't usually see meat, so they still take this kind of small fish very seriously. I don't know what the pancakes they have to offer so that they are willing to exchange fish.

"It is exchanged for stories. They don't know what the capital looks like, and they are very curious. We tell them stories about the capital, tell them what the capital is like, and they give us fish. My brother told us a lot, and they gave us fish. A lot of small fish. I could have exchanged for more, but my brothers were afraid that they would not have any fish for lunch, so I told them about it for free and didn’t ask for any more fish.” Tangyuan said proudly.

"Will their parents be willing? They won't find them later, right?" Xie Xiaonian said worriedly.

She has seen a lot of them before, because of some trivial matters between the children, one of the parents came to the door to make trouble.

"It's okay, little aunt, some of their parents are standing beside them, and they are very happy for their children to play with Apple and others, and some adults are also standing by and listening with great interest." The Wei family explained aloud road.

"It's okay, just a few small fish. They won't come here. Since Tangyuan wants to eat fried fish, let's eat fried fish at noon today." Mother Xu said with a smile, and then asked the Wei family to kill the fish.

What Xie Xiaonian didn't know was that now their family could be regarded as a respectable family in the village, and their parents couldn't wait for the children in the village to play with Pancakes and them. How could they make trouble because of a few small fish.

"Auntie, are there a lot of talented people in the university, and a lot of books to read." During the meal, Tao Hua said to Xie Xiaonian with a look of yearning.

"Yeah, the university library is full of books. As long as it's not too biased, there's no harm in it. You can read whatever you want. Is there any book you want to read recently? Auntie can buy it as a gift. Here you are." Xie Xiaonian asked with a smile.

"No, I'm just asking. When I go to college, I can just watch it without paying any money." Taohua quickly refused.

"Xiao Nian, you don't need to worry about her, she just yearns for university, so she asked you about it, this girl talks about you and her brother-in-law every day, saying that she wants to follow your example and go to university too When she was a child, she followed his older brothers and sisters all day long, and she was very naughty and greedy. Who knew that when she grew up, she would be the best at reading among the four brothers and sisters. I really didn't expect that." Li Suxin continued with a smile.

"It's time to go to high school after the Peach Blossom Chinese New Year. Are you confident to pass the exam?" Xie Xiaonian asked with a smile.

"I'm confident, I will definitely be able to pass the high school entrance examination, not only the high school entrance examination, but also the university entrance examination in the future." Taohua said confidently.

"That's good, when you are admitted to the university, my aunt will give you a reward." Xie Xiaonian said encouragingly.

"Okay, auntie, just prepare the presents, I'm sure I'll pass the exam." Tao Hua said happily.

"Auntie, what gift? Give me one too!" The Wei family looked at Xie Xiaonian eagerly and said.

"At the beginning, I asked you to go to school, as if I was going to kill you, what face is there to ask for a gift now? If you have the ability to enter the university, needless to say, your aunt will give it to you." Li Suxin looked at Wei's house, swearing Said.

"Okay, okay, I don't want it anymore. It was fine when I was in elementary school. After entering junior high school, when knowledge became difficult, I couldn't learn it at all. What kind of material is there for college entrance examination? You still point to my little sister to take the college entrance examination for you. Let's go." When the Wei family heard what his mother said, Lian Mao shrank his neck and said.

Obviously Li Suxin said this more than once.

"Since you're not expected to go to college, I'll find a matchmaker to tell you a daughter-in-law after the Chinese New Year. From now on, I'll work with your father in the team with peace of mind. Don't run around in the river on the Tianshan Mountains like a bum." Yes, let people gossip." Li Suxin educated.

"I'm still young, what kind of wife am I looking for, and I don't like to go to work, mother, just leave me alone." Upon hearing that he was going to find a wife for him, the Wei family said dissatisfied.

"You're 19 this year, and you're even 20 years old. Why can't you find a wife? Most of the people in the village who are as old as you are engaged, and those who are not engaged are also starting to see each other. What do you want to wait for? When? You said, if you are asked to go to school, you don’t want to go, and if you are asked to work, you don’t want to go. What do you want to do? Do you still want me to support you every day until you are old? Enough shopping, I will marry you a daughter-in-law and let your daughter-in-law take care of you." Li Suxin said naggingly.

Hearing what his mother said, the Wei family opened their mouths after glancing at his uncle, but didn't say what they wanted to say in the end.

"Okay, okay, stop nagging, let the child have a safe meal." Seeing that Li Suxin started nagging about the Wei family again, Xu's mother quickly defended her.

"Yes, sister-in-law, the Wei family hasn't met someone they like yet. When they do, even if you don't tell him, he will be in a hurry to marry a wife. Once he does, his heart will be at ease." Xie Xiaonian He also smiled and smoothed things over.

"Okay, let him go today, and we'll talk about it after the Chinese New Year."

Li Suxin also felt that talking about this matter at the dinner table made everyone feel bad, so she quickly stopped talking, but she didn't plan to revisit the matter, thinking that she must teach the Wei family a good lesson after the new year a meal.

Seeing that his mother had stopped talking, the Wei family quickly immersed themselves in eating, lowering their sense of existence, for fear that his mother would nag him again.

These words made his ears callous. Although he knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, he really didn't want to live his life like what his mother said.

"Xiao Nian, let's go to the space for a lunch break. It's too cold today, and the room feels chilly with the kang burning." Xu Zhongjun said to Xie Xiaonian when he went back for a lunch break at noon.

"I see that at lunch today, when my sister-in-law asked the Wei family to work at home, he glanced at you. I think he may have some ideas about his future development. Maybe he should come to you to discuss it in a while. Wait for a while." Xie Xiaonian thought of the look in the Wei family's eyes, and said.

"That's fine, then you can put a few children to sleep, and I'll go and light a fire to make the room warmer, so you don't catch a cold." Xu Zhongjun nodded in response.

And here, as soon as the children fell asleep, the Wei family came to his house.

"Uncle and aunt, I want to be a soldier. I don't want to work in the brigade to earn work points like the people in the village, then marry a wife and have children, and just live like this for the rest of my life. Do you think I can be a soldier? The army will Do you want me?" The Wei family said nervously after arriving at home.

"Yes, why not? It's a good thing to have such an idea. Since you want to be a soldier, why don't you make it clear to your mother, I think she will support you." Xie Xiaonian recalled the scene at noon today, and said .

"There are only one or two soldiers in the brigade a year, and it's not my turn at all. I'm afraid that it will be useless after I say it. It will only make my mother embarrassed and sad. I blame myself for my incompetence. I came here I just want to ask my uncle if there is any special department in the army that doesn’t need to take up the quota of the brigade and can be recruited directly, even if it’s a bit hard and tiring.” The Wei family looked at Xu Zhongjun eagerly and said.

"You want your uncle to find a relationship for you and go through the back door?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.

"No, no, I didn't go through the back door, but I just wanted to ask my uncle, is there a way for me to serve as a soldier without going through the back door and not taking up the quota in the brigade? My uncle has been in the army all year round, so he must know more about it than me. I just want my uncle to give me an idea, if not, forget it." The Wei family quickly explained.

"Compared to what you said, it's easier to go through the back door." Xu Zhongjun said in a deep voice.

"Ah, forget it, I don't want to be a soldier anymore, I can work at home with peace of mind." The Wei family knew that his uncle was always upright, and hated going through the back door the most. Hearing that there was no way out, he could only say in frustration.

"Okay, manly man, don't cry and look dejected when you encounter a little thing. When the conscription is in the spring this year, I will ask my comrades-in-arms if I can get you an extra spot when I see it! But you are sure you want Do you want to be a soldier? Even if you will go to the battlefield and sacrifice yourself in the future, would you still be willing?" Seeing his appearance, Xu Zhongjun continued to ask.

The southern border is not very stable recently, and it is very likely that there will be a war. Although recruits like the Wei family are unlikely to be sent to the battlefield, Xu Zhongjun still needs to confirm the determination of the Wei family.
