Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 908 Mother-in-law Visits Son-in-law

Immediately afterwards, Li Dashan began to praise Wang Li to the point of describing him as an invincible young man who was rare in heaven and earth.

Of course, while Li Dashan was talking nonsense, Li Dajiang and Li Dahe would occasionally add a few words.

Moreover, the three brothers also produced crucial evidence, namely the three double-barreled shotguns, to prove the elegance and generosity of Wang Li, the son-in-law.

Although the three brothers of the Li family could neither use guns nor learn to shoot, they had inquired about the prices of guns and had some understanding of them. If they were to go by the selling price at the supply and marketing cooperative, three old double-barreled hunting rifles would cost a full 1200 yuan!

1200 yuan in this day and age is definitely a huge amount of money.

Just like that, after the three brothers' boasting and explanation, and noticing Li Xiuyu's happy little eyes, Han Sanfeng's eyes changed when he looked at Wang Li.

This is exactly what the old saying goes, "The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him."

In fact, the reason why Li Xiu Yu was happy at this time was not because she found a partner like Wang Li.

It’s because now not only has the big trouble in Li Xiuyu’s family been solved, but most importantly, Li Xiuyu’s mother Han Sanfeng has also woken up from her coma, and Han Sanfeng’s overall condition is also very good.

However, in Han Sanfeng's view, this was all an expression of Li Xiuyu's satisfaction with Wang Li.

After the three brothers finished their rambling, Han Sanfeng said to Wang An with an embarrassed look on his face:

"Xiao Za, your Lao Wu and our Xiu Yu will be together. Auntie agrees, but your uncle just passed away two days ago, Xiu Yu has to observe mourning for three years, and then their marriage will have to be postponed for another three years."

Normally, this kind of thing should be discussed by the parents of both parties together, but Wang Daliang and his wife were not around at the moment, so Han Sanfeng could only talk about this with Wang Li's brother, Wang An.

There has been a tradition in the local area that if the father or mother dies, the children cannot get married within three years.

Even if you are engaged, you have to wait 100 days after the death anniversary.

When Wang An heard this, he immediately agreed and said:
"Yes, ma'am, I have to listen to you. How can we have a wedding before the mourning period? Besides, they are still young, so it's too late to get married."

Han Sanfeng said:
"Then wait until your uncle is a hundred days old, and I will find a good day with Lao Wu's parents to arrange the marriage of the two children. After that, we will marry them after three years."

Wang An nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, ma'am, just do as you say."

This kind of thing should be the concern of Wang Daliang and his wife, so Wang An doesn't care at all. The reason why he is talking about this with Han Sanfeng now is just because of Wang An's duty as an elder brother.

After a few more words, it was noon, or to be more precise, it was time for lunch. However, at this time, although there were a lot of vegetables in the garden of Li Xiuyu's house, the rice had not yet been cooked.

Li Xiuyu's sister-in-law gently pulled Li Dashan's sleeve, and then whispered in Li Dashan's ear:

"Dashan, why don't you go to your uncle's house and borrow two liters of cornmeal? Your brother-in-law and his brother are here, they need something to eat anyway."

Although Li Xiuyu's sister-in-law spoke in a very low voice, everyone was in the same room, and Wang An and Wang Li were not deaf, so they naturally heard everything she said.

It has to be said that those loan sharks really robbed Li Xiuyu's house completely, leaving no food at all.

When Li Dashan heard this, he just nodded, but he looked a little embarrassed, mainly because the guests hadn't left yet, but he had to abandon them to borrow food. The son-in-law was already an honored guest at his mother-in-law's house, and now he owed him such a big favor. As the pillar of the family, it would be a bit unreasonable for Li Dashan not to entertain him.

Fortunately, Wang An never cared about these things. After thinking about it, he said to Wang Li:
"Old Five, take your sidecar and go to your brother Mu's house. He doesn't have any helpers to eat right now. First, get 50 kilograms of cornmeal. If there are a lot of corn kernels, get to kilograms."

Although Mu Xueli and Wang Li's family had fewer people to help build their house, they still bought a lot of food. It was Wang An who bought the food coupons for them, and then they bought the food at the grain station.

When Li Dashan heard this, he quickly stopped him and said:
"No, really no need, big brother. I'll borrow some food first, and then mix it with some wild vegetables and vegetables from the garden, and it will be enough to last until the autumn harvest. When the autumn harvest comes in, the family won't have to worry about food."

Wang An felt that the reason why farmers could dig for food in the soil day after day and year after year was simply because they had the hope of the autumn harvest.

Hearing Li Dashan's words, Wang An just smiled, then turned around and continued to say to Wang Li:

"Before I come back, I'll stop by the store and buy some more things, like canned brown sugar and so on."

As he spoke, Wang An handed the car keys to Wang Li.

No matter what, this is Wang Li's first time visiting his mother-in-law's house, so buying some gifts is the right thing to do.

Wang Li took the car keys and agreed with a smile:
"Yes, I understand, Fourth Brother."

As he spoke, Wang Li was about to walk out of the house.

At this moment, Han Sanfeng suddenly called Li Xiuyu and said:

"Xiu Yu, you should also follow Lao Wu for a walk and help him point the way. The roads in our village are so winding that it's hard to find them."

Li Xiu Yu was about to speak, but after noticing Han Sanfeng's subtle look, she shut up and followed him out.

I have to say that this old lady Han Sanfeng is quite interesting. She actually came up with such a lame excuse as "the road is hard to find".

The main thing is that although Sujiatun is a relatively large village with more than 200 households and more than 1000 people, the situation of "not being able to find the way" will never happen.

Han Sanfeng's purpose was simply to let the people in the village know that her family had stood up again and her daughter had a boyfriend, so the young men who had been eyeing Li Xiuyu before should stop eyeing her.

To be honest, Han Sanfeng's mentality is quite strange, but to put it bluntly, he just cares about his reputation and is afraid of being looked down upon, so he wants to show off actively.

At the same time, I also want to tell everyone that our family is no worse off than anyone else’s.

Of course, people in Northeast China generally care about their reputation, so it is understandable that Han Sanfeng would do this.

After Wang Li and Li Xiuyu left, Li Dahai came up to Wang An with a double-barreled shotgun and said to Wang An:
"Brother Xiao An, can you teach me how to use this gun? I have never touched this thing before."

Seeing Li Dahai's actions, Li Dashan and Li Dajiang, who was not very mobile, also came over and said to Wang An:
"Yeah, brother Xiao An, this thing is just like a fire stick in our hands now, can you teach us?"
