Going back to 70 years from grazing

"Xiuzhi, your cousin has sent a letter, saying that she has found a partner for you at the ranch."

Li Xiuzhi's father, Li Dongsheng, couldn't help but say while eating.

Just now his wife Liu Cuihua kicked him under the table several times.

He also really has no choice.

Looking at the porridge on the table where the bottom of the bowl can be seen, he said helplessly.

Li Xiuzhi was taken aback when she heard her father's words, she knew it was time to come, but she still came.

There are currently seven people in the family. Besides her parents, she has two brothers.

The older brother Li Jianguo started the family last year and married a girl from his mother's village named Liu Manli.

Not long ago, a boy Li Tianyou was born, this is the eldest grandson of the family.

It can be said that all the delicious food in their family is subsidized to the sister-in-law.

Otherwise, the milk is simply not enough.

The younger brother Li Jianjun, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, was at the time when he could eat.

In this patriarchal family, the existence of Li Xiuzhi seems a bit redundant.

Although she has always been hardworking and capable.

Can encounter a famine, and encounter the current turbulent years.

There's nothing she can do!

In this age, even if you want to get married, it is not easy, no one has any food left!

At this time, I don't know how many generations have passed, a distant cousin.

The letter sent over gave the family a different idea.

Li Xiuzhi's eyes were red. She overheard her parents' conversation last night.

But she knew it was impossible.

One more person means one more mouth, and the family really doesn't have that much food.

"Xiuzhi, your cousin said that the person she introduced to you is the son of the captain of the sixth team of their ranch."

"It's still a carriage driver, that's~that's~"

"That~ After you marry, the other party will send food to our family~"

Her mother, Liu Cuihua, was also very upset, but there was nothing she could do!

She couldn't continue talking about the situation of her daughter.

Not only because of some problems in the brain, but also a lame man, and it is inconvenient to move.

Otherwise, Xiuzhi, a cousin who has been separated for several lifetimes, can contact them?

The main reason is that when Xiuzhi married, the other party would give their family a hundred catties of fine grain and 50 yuan.

Li Xiuzhi's cousin Li Xiujuan.

In 1960, there was no other way, and I came to the grassland pasture.

Because of his good looks, the most important thing is that it is difficult for men there to marry a daughter-in-law.

In the end, the eldest son of the captain of the sixth team fell in love with him and married him back.

Now his younger brother can't get a wife because of those problems.

Li Xiujuan thought of her distant cousin, and that's why she got that letter.

Li Xiujuan did not lie to their family, and the situation was clearly written.

After all, they are relatives, so it's better to make this kind of thing clear.

Although her mother didn't tell the truth, how could Li Xiuzhi, a smart girl, not know.

Two lines of clear tears flowed out involuntarily.

Neither her brother nor her brother spoke, and they knew what it meant.

"This~ Xiuzhi, don't force yourself, if you don't want to go, we won't go."

After all, Li Dongsheng still couldn't let go of his cruelty.

This is his own daughter!

If there was no other way, who would have the heart to push his own daughter into the pit of fire.

"Old man, you~hey~"

After hearing what her husband said, Liu Cuihua kicked him from under the table again.

But in the end, he could only sigh deeply.

How could she not be distressed, it's all the meat that fell from her body!

"Dad, Mom, I'll go." Li Xiuzhi wiped her tears with her sleeve and said.

The kind girl finally decided to sacrifice herself in exchange for a glimmer of life for her family.

Although the cousin said the object is not good.

But the most important thing is to exchange some food for the family.

At that time, just replace the one hundred catties of fine grains with coarse grains.

They'll get through the year as a family.

"My child~you~ hey~"

Li Dongsheng opened his mouth for a long time, but finally he could only sigh.

Who knows what will happen next.

Maybe Xiuzhi can live a good life like her cousin after marrying.

So Xiuzhi and two girls from the same village embarked on the road to the grasslands of Qilian Mountains.

In the days to come, every time Xiuzhi recalled this, she would slowly sigh with emotion.

She didn't expect this decision to change her life.

Let her meet someone who can really spend her life together.

Xiuzhi only brought a small bag, which contained a piece of clothing full of patches.

And the red turban that my mother likes the most.

According to my mother, this red scarf was brought by her when she got married.

In addition to these, Liu Cuihua also prepared some pancakes for her.

This is her dry food along the way.

As for the kettle for holding water, they don't have any at home.

If she wants to drink water, she can only let her solve it on the road.

Three girls who were "on the way" were in a carriage heading for the city.

He waved goodbye to his parents and left.

They are two sisters named Li Huifang and Li Huijuan.

There were also relatives who went to the ranch back then.

I have asked my relatives over there to find a partner, and like Xiuzhi, they are planning to marry.

The three came to the train station secretly, and with the help of kind-hearted people, they boarded a car that pulled bricks.

It can also be regarded as a special car!

This is their first time taking a train, but unfortunately it's not that kind of passenger car.

It was really cold and windy on the train skin.

The pair of sisters could only hug each other to keep warm.

Xiuzhi took out the red scarf her mother gave her.

Grabbing it vigorously with both hands, it covered the head.

Being blown by the wind, there is actually a feeling of "raising your red hijab".

Because of this, the two sisters made fun of it for a long time.

Ke Xiuzhi doesn't have such thoughts now.

She knew exactly what kind of husband she would face when she arrived at the ranch.

A stupid, physically handicapped man.

Even if she is working hard, one can imagine the days after that.

The two sisters certainly had no such concerns.

Their relatives found them a strong young man in the team.

I heard it is still a good job.

It's just because there are too many brothers in the family, it's hard to find a partner.

In this way, there is another donkey cart, another "brick cart", and finally a horse cart.

The three of them finally arrived at the destination "Qilian Mountain Ranch".

The two sisters, Li Huifang and Li Huijuan, were picked up by their aunt as soon as they arrived at the ranch.

The group that went was the wealthiest group in the ranch.

It is said that the first team is the wealthiest team in the whole ranch.

After Xiuzhi said goodbye to them, she secretly blessed them.

And agreed that in the future, if there is a chance, we must meet more and help each other.

After all, they are all fellow villagers who came from a village head.

"Cousin, I finally found you."

Xiuzhi inquired for a long time and finally met her distant cousin.

"Xiuzhi? You~ here~"

Li Xiujuan's expression was a little unnatural when she saw Xiuzhi.

She sent the letter just last month.

In a few days, her lame and heartless little uncle.

When I was driving to pull the goods, I accidentally overturned the car and was crushed to death by the goods.

In other words, Xiuzhi's partner is gone before they meet.

The point is that once this happened, her father-in-law thought her cousin was an ominous person.

He killed his son before he came.

This incident made Li Xiujuan frequently beaten by her husband.

On the grasslands, patriarchal concepts are even more serious.

She escaped from the famine again, and in addition, she gave birth to two daughters over the years.

Without giving birth to a son, the status in the family can be imagined.

Originally, after this happened last month, she wrote a letter to stop her cousin from coming.

But she didn't expect Xiuzhi to act so fast.

It seems that Xiuzhi didn't receive the letter before departure.
