Hard times have room

"I told you last month, why haven't you told your parents yet!"

"Xiaoxiao, it's not Sister Hui that I have to introduce to you, but that young man is really good. He is the only one in the family. He has three sisters, and his parents can do it. Both father and son are old employees of our steel factory. I know the bottom line, I have seen that young man, and he even came to my house for a drink, he is an honest man."

"Besides, my sister really doesn't want you to delay like this. Your parents won't tell you, I haven't seen it, but your brother is really irrelevant. He came to see you seven or eight times last month, every time It’s all about money, and it’s really impossible to stay in a home like this for a long time. If you find a good place, let’s go!”

"It's really not easy for us women, otherwise I wouldn't be here to persuade you."

Li Hui saw brother Cheng Xiao's attitude towards her, that arrogant appearance, it seemed that she was not here to ask for money, but to collect debts.

Anyway, she had a bad impression of that man. The elder brother didn't look like an older brother. He was already 25 and six, and he even reached out to ask his younger sister for money, so he didn't take any responsibility.

Every time she sees Cheng Xiao giving money cowardly, she gets angry, both her brother and herself.

Cheng Xiao is a good girl. She didn't want her life to be ruined like this, so she took the initiative to find a good guy in the factory for her. It's a good thing.

Now it seems that she still takes it for granted. She told her about it last month. This month, Cheng Xiao has not told her parents that it is impossible for people to wait for this delay. With his conditions, there is a big problem. The little girl who is willing to marry, it seems, after all, she will miss it.

"Sister Hui, I know this, and I'm very grateful to you in my heart, but I can't control this matter. My parents want to stay with me for two more years." Cheng Xiao lost his interest in drinking porridge and lowered his voice. said the head.

She didn't want to leave that cold home, but she couldn't, her parents wouldn't let her go.

At the beginning of the year, the neighbors came to inquire about the news because they wanted to introduce her to someone, and she was kicked out by her parents. That night, she was trained by the family for more than an hour. Naturally, she can't marry. If she really can't wait, she will break her legs.

She is not young anymore, 22, her brother is four years older than her, 26, her parents are anxious to find a partner for her brother, but with his conditions, ordinary people look down on him. I can't go home!

So, even the matter with her was delayed, and it was still indefinite, because she didn't know when her brother would find a partner.

"Hey, injustice! You are such a good girl, how come you have such a family member." After Li Hui sighed, she didn't say anything more. After all, they are a family. If they talk too much, Cheng Xiao may be unhappy.

Turning around and looking, isn't there another one!

"Paulin, you are also nineteen this year, do you want to think about it? Sister Hui will definitely find a reliable one for you."

Paulin was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the fire to burn her: "Don't, Sister Hui, I'm still young! I don't want to talk about this now, my parents told me last time that they wanted to keep me for a few more years. "

Seeing a lot of the woman's life at this time, Paulin had to admit that she was affected. For example, Li Hui, who seemed to others to live a very happy life, felt tired in Paulin's view.

It is winter now. Li Hui has to get up at [-] in the morning to boil water, make breakfast for the whole family, and help with dressing and washing for the little ones. After breakfast, she rushes to get off work. She is all-inclusive, and the family members will call her if they have any problems. They are surrounded by their father and son. of life.

Besides, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at this time is really bad, she is a little afraid, if possible, it is best to avoid it.

Now that she is not yet twenty, her parents haven't urged her yet. Naturally, she doesn't want to get married and have children early. It's too tiring.

She is luckier than other girls. She is sure that she can decide her own marriage. Unlike most girls at this time, they still follow blind marriages, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers.

"You! Okay, with your conditions, you won't have to worry about playing for a few more years."

"I don't rush you, as long as your family is reliable, you are really happy and happy when you are a girl, and you can be happy for a few more years as long as you can!"

Hearing Li Hui's words, Cheng Xiao put on a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth. The fate of this person is really different from others, and the difference is too great.

The latter three didn't talk about it anymore, because there were too many people in the office, it's not easy to talk about this anymore, and some people would gossip. It would be bad if there were rumors that the two of them hated getting married.

A few days later, when Li Hui was chatting with the two of them, he talked about the young man who had been introduced to Cheng Xiao before. He had already found a partner, and his words were full of regrets.

Cheng Xiao was silent all day, and was very sentimental, but she had never seen him or knew him. She didn't have any big turbulence towards him in her heart. She was sentimental about herself.

On the 26th, the factory finally had a holiday. The annual leave was [-] days, and I didn’t start working until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Pauline came back by car on the afternoon of the 27th. Although it snowed heavily last night, it had almost melted in the afternoon, but the freezing outside the house was really freezing.

This time, when she came home, she brought a lot of things, two pounds of white flour, one kilogram of meat and one kilogram of mung bean cake. These are the benefits of the factory's New Year's holiday, which is similar to the situation when the two large moon cakes were distributed during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In addition, she has spent almost all the tickets on her body, mainly meat tickets, oil tickets, etc. She has already exchanged the tickets for things.

So, when Paulin came back, she brought a sack with it, and it was full of stuff in it.

As soon as the station stopped at the entrance of the town, Pauline got off the car immediately and rushed home without stopping. She didn't want to wait to go home in the dark. Even if she had a flashlight in her hand, she still felt a little scared and troublesome.

As for the quilt, it was already packed and kept in her space. After passing through Chenjiazhuang and reaching the small woods at the entrance of the village, she secretly took it out. In the winter, it was already very difficult for her to carry the sack in her hand.

No matter how she dared, it was getting dark early in winter, at five o'clock, it was about to be completely dark, and Pauline arrived home at this time. Looking very embarrassed.
