70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 166
Xu Zhongjun suppressed the worry in his heart, opened the letter carefully, and began to read it.

After reading a few sentences, Xu Zhongjun knew that it was written by his elder brother and dictated by his mother. The first part was the same as before, it was about trivial matters at home, but more than before, it was Xu's mother who kept praising Xie Xiaonian.

Xu Zhongjun was also very happy to see that the two got along so well. After all, he had seen a lot of people who were in a difficult situation because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at odds, and the man was the doormat in the middle.

Seeing that Xu's mother's tone in the letter did not seem to be about anything, Xu Zhongjun felt a little relieved.

But when he had just settled down, when he saw the letter saying that his little daughter-in-law was pregnant, he immediately jumped up again. He read this sentence many times in disbelief before he was convinced that his daughter-in-law was really pregnant.

It was written in the letter that it was about one and a half months when she found out that she was pregnant, so wouldn't it be two months in a few days? Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Zhongjun's mouth curled up unconsciously.

On the other hand, the soldiers on the other side felt their legs tremble when they saw Xu Zhongjun's series of reactions after receiving the letter, especially that silly smile. They didn't expect the King of Soldiers to smile so stupidly.

But none of them dared to read the joke, and they immediately turned their eyes away consciously, fearing that Xu Zhongjun would know that they had seen his stupidity, and he would try to punish them in different ways in the future.

At this time, Xu Zhongjun didn't have time to care about the eyes of these comrades, so he immediately took the letter and went to the leader's office.

"Why are you here, kid? Didn't you ask you to help organize the New Year's party?" Seeing Xu Zhongjun coming, the leader said with a smile.

"Leader, look at me as a big soldier. I don't know much about art, and I can't help those art soldiers. And the training of the soldiers is also arranged in advance. I just came back from the military academy suddenly, and I can't get in." Get started, so I want to ask for leave to go home for the New Year, and then go directly to school when school starts." Xu Zhongjun said seriously.

"It's been a holiday for more than ten days. Why did you think of asking for leave today? You don't have a holiday this year?" the leader asked suspiciously.

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I want to go home and have a look. This year's holidays are gone, but I still have a lot of holidays I saved in the past few years! Otherwise, I can use next year's holidays to make up for it!"

"What, your daughter-in-law is pregnant? You're a pretty good kid. Although you got married late, you can have a baby fast enough. I didn't expect that!" the leader said teasingly.

After speaking, he looked Xu Zhongjun up and down regardless of his image, as if he was looking at how good Xu Zhongjun was.

Because of getting together less and leaving more, leaders only have children after two years of marriage, and there are not a few people in the army who have been married for one or two years and have no children.

In particular, some soldiers whose family members are not yet able to join the army, some have been married for several years and have no children yet.

However, although the leader was a little stingy, he was very happy for Xu Zhongjun in his heart. After all, he brought out the soldiers with his own hands, and he had a life-threatening friendship. He always regarded Xu Zhongjun as his own brother.

Xu Zhongjun also knew the nature of the leader, so he didn't care about the leader's words and staring eyes, and said directly: "See if you can approve it. After you approve it, I have to go to the political commissar for approval?"

"Okay, okay, I approved it, you don't have to go to that old boy, I have full power to decide, when you go to the county later, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask your sister-in-law to get you some malted milk or something, I’m afraid you don’t have some things in your place.” The leader’s daughter-in-law works in a supply and marketing cooperative, so shopping is more convenient.

And because they are close to the military area, the supplies and marketing cooperatives are still very complete.

"Thank you, leader, then I'm leaving!" Xu Zhongjun paid a military salute and left quickly without looking back.

On the way back, although Xu Zhongjun tried his best to control the corners of his mouth, everyone could see that he was in a good mood now.

A few brave soldiers approached without fear of death, and asked Xu Zhongjun what kind of happy event he had. He was so happy.

Although they didn't ask anything in the end, but seeing that Xu Zhongjun didn't train them, he knew that they, the king of soldiers, must have a big happy event.

26 Early in the morning, the members of Xu's family and the third room got up early to steam steamed buns, steamed buns, sugar buns, and Zaoshan.

Zaoshan is a unique kind of tribute here, which is to make various patterns with noodles, and then insert jujubes on top.

After steaming, it should be placed on the table on the back wall of the main room from the first day of the new year, and it can't be taken down until the Lantern Festival is over.

Of course, among the steamed buns they steam, white flour steamed buns only account for a small part, and most of them are mixed noodles steamed buns.

In addition to the things they usually steam, Xie Xiaonian also made a lot of little hedgehogs, little rabbits and other snacks out of the dough for the children, and the happy children held them carefully, not wanting to eat them.

The family was happily steaming steamed buns. While eating the steamed buns, they suddenly heard Grandma Xu calling the door: "Ms. Shuqin, is Xiao Nian with you?"

"Here, Auntie, come in quickly." Xu's mother walked out while talking.

"Hey, Dabao, why are you here?" Seeing the people beside Grandma Xu, Mother Xu asked suspiciously.

"He said he was Xiao Nian's younger brother, and there was no one in Xiao Nian's family. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, if something happened, I brought him here." Grandma Xu said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, come in and have a rest!"

"No need, no need, the family is still busy." After saying that, Grandma Xu hurried back.

After Grandma Xu left, Mother Xu led Dabao directly to the kitchen without asking any questions.

"Dabao, why are you here?" Xie Xiaonian looked at Dabao in front of him, frowning and asked.

"Second sister, something happened to dad, please save him!" Dabao cried as he looked at the second sister in front of him, as if he had found a backbone.

"Why are you crying, talk about it if you have something to say."

"Daddy, daddy..." Dabao looked at the people around him, but couldn't say anything.

"Lanhua, take your younger brothers and sisters back to the house. Don't hesitate, Dabao, just talk if you have something to say." Xie Xiaonian ordered directly.

"Father messed around with Widow Li in the village, and was caught by her two older brothers. Now I want the family to get 2 yuan, or I will sue my father. But the family doesn't have that much money at all. Mother doesn't care, and I don't care. I don't know what to do, so I have to come to you. Second sister, you can save dad." Dabao didn't care about any family scandals at this time, and said everything in front of the adults of the Xu family.

"Let's go, I'll go and have a look with you, but let's say it first, I can't afford that much money." Although Xie Xiaonian didn't have any feelings for Father Xie, he couldn't just watch, so he had to go for a while.

"Xiao Nian, you are still pregnant with the child, how can you go, what if a fight breaks out and hurts you!" Mother Xu said disapprovingly.

"Mother, I have to go to this matter today anyway, but don't worry, I will be careful." Xie Xiaonian comforted.

"That's not okay, you are careful, and others are not careful! In this way, I will go with you, and even if there is a fight at that time, with an old woman like me standing in front of me, they will not dare to move." Mother Xu Decide directly.

"Me too! There must be a man here! Plus her elder sister's man, even if we fight, we won't suffer." Xu Zhongming also continued.

"When I went to look for my eldest sister, my elder sister said that my father had severed relations with her, and my eldest brother-in-law would not be allowed to get involved." Hearing Xu Zhongming's words, Dabao lowered his head and said sullenly.

"If you don't go, then don't go, isn't there still you and your father!" Mother Xu said angrily.

Because Xiao Nian was pregnant, and one bicycle was not enough, so in the end, the four of them walked to Xie Zhuang.

Anyway, the widow's two elder brothers also went there sooner or later to extort money.

About an hour after Xie Xiaonian left, Xu Zhongjun also returned home.

Seeing that his house was locked, he went straight to his eldest brother's house.

"Zhongjun, why did you come back suddenly? You didn't receive the letter in advance!" Li Suxin who came out to pour water saw Xu Zhongjun and said in surprise.

"I also decided to come back after receiving a letter from my elder brother yesterday, sister-in-law, where is Xiao Nian?"

"Oh, it's a coincidence that you came back. Something happened to Xiao Nian's father. Xiao Nian, mother and your elder brother went to her mother's house. They have been away for more than an hour. It is almost time to arrive at the place now. If you come back earlier After a while, we can go together." The sister-in-law said regretfully, patting her thigh.

"What happened? I'm going over now!"

After Li Suxin explained the whole story clearly, Xu Zhongjun threw his luggage on the ground, greeted Xu's father, and was about to run to Xie's house.

"Hey, don't worry, your bicycle is stored in his house in Weiguo, you go by bicycle, it's faster." The sister-in-law said quickly when she saw that Xu Zhongjun was about to leave.

Xu Zhongjun heard his sister-in-law's words, pushed his bicycle and rushed to Xie Zhuang.

But after Xie Xiaonian and the others arrived at Xie Zhuang, they did not go back to Xie's house, but went directly to Widow Li's house, and now Father Xie is still detained at Widow Li's house.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw two black and strong men sitting in the yard. They looked like squirrels, and they didn't look like any decent people.

"Where's my father?" Xie Xiaonian asked directly as soon as he entered the courtyard.

"You are the second daughter of his family. Believe what your father has done, your brother has already told you, 500 yuan, nothing less. You don't want to see what happens to your father, do you? But I heard that you married a good man, so the money should be easy to get out!" Widow Li said in a rough voice.

"You think the money comes from the wind, 500 yuan, you really dare to open your mouth, marrying a big girl with yellow flowers can't cost so much money!" Mother Xu mocked angrily.

"If you marry my sister, it really won't cost so much money, but Xie Yougui is committing a crime now, so the price will be different!" Widow Li's second brother stepped forward and said with a sinister smile.
