Liu Xinyu did not expect that the result would not go as she wished. After two fights with the women of the Zhang and Liu families, not only was her engagement with Zhang Hongliang not terminated, but the date for the engagement banquet was directly set.

She stood there numb, and no one asked her for her opinion?

After receiving the affirmative answer from the Zhang family, Chen Zhaodi was naturally happy and quickly gave Liu Houxing a look.

Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang's engagement did not change again. Liu Houxing felt that he was too pregnant, so he got a hint from his wife and quickly let Zhang Daniu and Zhang Hongliang into the courtyard of Liu Xinyu's house.

Now that the Zhang family has decided on the time for the engagement banquet, the two families have to discuss the details again.

Liu Xinyu was led into her small courtyard by Chen Zhaodi's hand. Until now, she has not been able to wake up from the development of the situation.

There were many things she couldn't understand.

She could feel that Zhang Hongliang was resisting the engagement as much as she was, but after she said that she wanted to break off the engagement, Zhang Hongliang made the opposite decision.

That city girl named Ma Li probably liked Zhang Hongliang very much, and could even threaten Zhang Hongliang's job and future. Her family must have some power, not to mention Wu Qiaozhen, who wanted Zhang Hongliang to marry a city girl, and even Zhang Daniu.

hesitated.

However, Zhang Hongliang insisted on his engagement with Liu Xinyu, and in the end, the two families sat together and discussed the engagement banquet.

What went wrong?

Could it be that after meeting Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hongliang opened up the Ren and Du channels and suddenly became enlightened?

Liu Xinyu thinks it’s impossible!

Before Ma Li appeared, Zhang Hongliang seemed to have no intention of accepting the engagement.

Yes, Zhang Hongliang's attitude changed after Ma Li appeared. It can be seen that the problem should lie with Ma Li.

Judging from Ma Li's clothes, her family conditions should be good, and her personal conditions are also good. Regardless of appearance, figure and age, she is more suitable than Liu Xinyu, and she is also a good match for Zhang Hongliang.

Liu Xinyu knew that Wu Qiaozhen had always hoped that Zhang Hongliang would find a girl from the city for her.

Before Liu Qingshan's accident, Liu Xinyu listened to Zhang Hongyun's nagging often, and even heard Wu Qiaozhen talking about this matter with others.

It stands to reason that Zhang Hongliang should readily accept being actively pursued by such a city girl.

What was the reason that made Zhang Hongliang reject such a girl who loved him deeply?

Liu Xinyu scratched her head thinking about it, but finally gave up.

Since the engagement cannot be terminated for the time being, we can only let nature take its course. After all, it is just an engagement.

Instead of thinking about whether these things are there or not, it’s better to think about the weird pictures in your mind.

Liu Xinyu no longer insisted on the wedding date, and she relaxed.

It's just that there are so many people in the house right now, it's not the right time to calm down and think about something, so I just follow Wang Sanmei to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Liu Qingshan is a very capable and hard-working man. He learned some martial arts from others when he was young. During his spare time, he often went into the mountains to hunt with a machete, bow and arrow, and he always brought back some prey. Therefore, his family's life was pretty good.

, you can have a meal of meat every now and then. Even though it has been a few months since Liu Qingshan passed away, there is still a piece of bacon from last year hanging on the beam in the kitchen.

However, without Liu Qingshan, there would be no income, and there was not much food left at home, which was basically dried sweet potatoes and corn flour, and of course a small amount of fine flour and rice.

In the past, most of the coarse grains at home were eaten by Liu Qingshan, while the fine noodles and rice were specially prepared for Liu Xinyu.

The situation of the Liu family and their daughter is not only known to the Liu family, it is also not a secret in the village.

"Second Aunt, please add more rice. If you eat too many dried sweet potatoes, you will get heartburn." Seeing that Wang Sanmei grabbed two handfuls of rice and washed them together with the dried sweet potatoes, Liu Xinyu couldn't help but shook her head, and went to the rice washing basket while Wang Sanmei was not paying attention.

Put a few handfuls of rice in it.

"Oh, you girl!" Wang Sanmei looked at the rice that had been soaked by water, then looked at the millet vat that didn't contain much rice, shook her head and sighed.

Although this was the first sweet potato rice Liu Xinyu had eaten in this era, the sweet potato rice in my memory was really not delicious and heart-burning.

Although the extra handfuls of rice didn't have much effect, it made Liu Xinyu feel better.

"Second Aunt, sister Xinju really doesn't want to go to school anymore?" Liu Xinyu still knew how to light a fire in a large stove based on her memory, and asked while adding fire to the stove.

"Well, I'm not going to do it." Wang Sanmei wanted to say a few more words, but thinking that Liu Xinyu loved reading, she finally held back the words that came to her mouth.

For a girl from the countryside, it would be good if her family could allow her to study for a few years. How could she be like Liu Xinyu and continue until she graduates from high school?

"Sister Xinju is only eleven years old. What can she do when she comes back? Why don't she study for another year and finish elementary school at least." Liu Xinyu thought for a while and advised.

"Eleven is not young anymore. Although I can't do the work in the fields, I can take care of my fourth child at home and wash the clothes, so I can be free to fight for work points. Besides, what if I let her study for one more year? In the end, she won't be someone else's family.

"People." Wang Sanmei said as she put some oil into the pot. She felt that the oil was a bit too much and she shoveled it back with a shovel, which made Liu Xinyu want to shake her head.

It's just a little bit of fat on one finger of your thumb, but Wang Sanmei still thinks it's too much. Can such a dish be delicious?

There is really no oil or water at all!

Liu Xinyu opened her mouth, but finally did not speak, just pretending not to see it.

Today I have cut a few slices of bacon and steamed it in the rice, which is considered meaty. If I ask Wang Sanmei to add more oil, I will definitely have to nag her again.

Liu Xinyu didn't want to give up on the issue of Liu Xinju's study, but still wanted to fight for Liu Xinju.

In her impression, Liu Xinju had good academic performance and loved reading.

Unfortunately, most people in this era favor sons over daughters, and the nine-year compulsory education has not yet begun. Liu Xinyu was not able to convince Wang Sanmei.

Girls in rural areas are really pitiful. There are not many girls like Liu Xinju who have studied for several years, and even fewer girls like Liu Xinyu who have been able to graduate from high school.

There are seven or eight girls in Liu Xinyu's class, but only Liu Xinyu has a rural registered permanent residence, while the others have urban registered permanent residences where their parents have jobs.

Liu Xinyu comes from the future, and of course she knows that the country will resume the college entrance examination in a few months.

Liu Xinyu felt very sorry for not being able to convince Wang Sanmei, but she couldn't force it, so she could only sigh secretly.

Forget it, let nature take its course!

There are four children in the second uncle's family. The eldest Liu Xinjian is two years younger than Liu Xinyu and is fourteen years old this year.

Eleven-year-old Liu Xinju is the second child, the third child Liu Xinyao is seven years old, and the fourth child Liu Xincheng is only three years old.

Of course, having many children means a heavy burden. In this era where people can only compete for work points to survive, even with the help of Liu Houxing and Chen Zhaodi, it is indeed difficult to keep the family fed and clothed.

It's understandable that Wang Sanmei wants to free up her hands to compete for work points, but it's just a pity for Liu Xinju.
