Back in 1981: Marrying the love of your life

Su Mu put Widow Xu by the stove, and then poured another cup of hot water and handed it over.

Xu Wei was still screaming, and the water in the cup was shaken out and spilled on her hands, but she didn't seem to feel anything.

Su Mu then noticed that the other party's hands were covered with small cracks, which were often wet in winter.

This kind of mouth is not big, but it hurts very badly, and it is not easy to recover.

"Thank you, thank you."

After a long while, Xu Wei finally spoke.

She held the water cup in both hands and put it to her lips, but she didn't know what to think, stopped moving, unbuttoned her worn coat, took out a broken bowl with a missing hole from her arms, poured the water in the cup into the bowl, and then took a small sip.

Seeing his appearance, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh.

He had seen Xu Wei's youthful appearance, when she was enthusiastic and cheerful, with a lively personality, after doing work in the field, in her spare time, she would also teach the children in the village to read and sing.

But at the moment, the enthusiastic and cheerful female intellectual, but looks like a beggar, how can people not feel embarrassed.

"I heard that you were buying amazaka and yam on the mountain, so I went to dig some last night."

Xu Wei said while unbuttoning the abdomen of her coat, took out a small bulging bag from her arms, and untied it, revealing the tianma and yam wrapped inside.

"Look, will I dig these okay?"

Xu Wei handed the burden over with both hands, and then as if she was afraid that Su Mu would not accept her things, she added: "If you have money, you can just look at it and give it."

Su Mu looked at the pair of rough hands in front of him, and his mind couldn't help but think of the other party's appearance in the middle of the night, against the cold wind, squatting on the ground to dig for tianma and yam, and couldn't help but say in a dull mood: "It's too dangerous to go up the mountain at night, why don't you wait until daytime?"

Xu Wei smiled bitterly when she heard this, lowered her head, and said in a humble tone: "There are too many people digging Tianma yam, I am afraid that I will not be able to dig much during the day, and besides, everyone is not willing to get together with me, I am afraid that everyone will pick me up."

"Then why don't you go home first when you're done digging?" Su Mu frowned, "If I go out late just now, you will be frozen to death, do you know?" "

I... I'm afraid that I'll be late, and if you collect enough, you won't accept me. Xu Wei lowered her head and explained in a low voice, looking like she had done something wrong.

Su Mu shook his head and sighed, lifted the lid of the stove, took out a roasted sweet potato from the edge of the inside, and handed it over: "You pad your stomach first, I'll get the scale." "

Thank you."

Xu Wei thanked her softly, carefully took the sweet potato with both hands, broke it from the middle, and ate it in small bites, while the other half was carried into her arms.

After weighing the yam and tianma, Su Mu handed over the money to Xu Wei according to the price promised to the villagers.

Xu Wei held the money, tears rolling in her red eyes, and they slipped down her cheeks drop by drop.

"Plop!"

Xu Wei knelt directly on the ground, constantly kowtowing, and choked: "Thank you, thank you, really thank you!"

"Don't be!" Su Mu hurriedly helped him up, and said in a serious tone: "You are earning money from your labor, there is no need to thank me."

Xu Wei wiped the tears from her face and asked, "Will you still receive Tianma and yam in the future?"

"Collect, you can dig until you come to me at any time, but it's best not to go into the mountains at night, it's not safe."

"Well, there are tianma and yam on the mountains of our village, and there must be some on the mountains of other villages, so I will dig on the mountains of other villages."

When Su Mu heard this, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, obviously it belonged to the whole village, but this woman in front of him was excluded, is this fair?

However, where in this world is there any absolute fairness?

"It's almost dawn, I have to leave quickly, if people see me going out of your house, it will affect your house." Xu Wei put the money away and hurried out of the gate of the Su family.

Su Mu looked at the thief-like back, feeling like a stone pressed against his chest, and breathing was a little strenuous.

In the previous life, was the daughter-in-law the same as Xu Wei, or even worse than Xu Wei?

After all, Xu Wei only has one mother-in-law, but her daughter-in-law still has to support her children...

Thinking of this, Su Mu suddenly wanted to see Chen Xiuqing very urgently, so he immediately went out and went to Chen's house.

"Su Mu, why did you come so early?" Hu Guifen was puzzled.

Su Mu said with a smile: "I got up for a walk in the morning and walked here before I knew it."

"You kid, don't say sleep more on a cold day, come in quickly." Hu Guifen led Su Mu into the house and said, "Xiuqing hasn't gotten up yet, I'll call her."

Su Mu stopped: "Mom, don't call her, I don't have anything to do, let her sleep more."

"You're going to get used to her." Hu Guifen blamed on his lips, but the smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.

Not long after, Chen Xiuqing's door opened.

Seeing Su Mu actually sitting in the yard, he suddenly felt completely sleepy.

"Why are you here so early?" Chen Xiuqing said curiously.

"It's okay, I just missed you all of a sudden."

"Will talk nonsense!" Chen Xiuqing gave a good-looking roll of his eyes and said, "Meet every day, what do you still want me to do?" Say, what the hell is wrong?

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said Xu Wei's story as it was.

After Chen Xiuqing listened, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Xu Zhiqing's life is really bitter, in fact, her hands are very skillful, I remember when I was in middle school, she also taught me to weave flower rope."

"I'm just worried that you have an opinion, so I'll come and tell you."

"You're doing good, how can I have an opinion?" Chen Xiuqing pretended to be displeased: "Could it be that in your heart, I am also the same as the people in the village, believing that Xu Zhiqing is a disaster star, and it is impossible to let you accept her things?"

Su Mu shook his head and denied: "Of course not, my daughter-in-law is gentle and kind, so she is not the kind of person with a small belly."

"Hmph, poor mouth!" Chen Xiuqing puffed out her cheeks, turned around and washed.

Su Mu smiled, and the original depression was swept away.

The daughter-in-law's angry look is really indescribably cute.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Hu Guifen's voice came from the kitchen: "Su Mu, I can't free my hand, you go and see who is coming." "Good

!" Su Mu agreed loudly and went to open the door.

He was not only unwilling to call his mother-in-law, but also quite happy.

Let him open the door, it means that he is his own family.

"Squeak!"

The door opened and a gray-haired man appeared in sight.

The man looked fifty or sixty years old, holding hemp rope in his hand, and looked menacing.

It is Hao Yongfu's father, Hao Zhicheng.
