The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 996

"Third son, you are still young, and you always want to leave a queen for our old Xu family. This time, mother must keep her eyes open and find you a virtuous one."

Mrs. Xu thought that her third son was not bad-looking. He was 34 years old when he got divorced, so he was not too old. It is not difficult for a woman to get married again at this age, let alone a man.

But she ignored a fact - Xu Qishan's leg was lame.

The family is destitute, and now they are lame, who wants to marry in?
Xu Qishan himself did not want to marry again.

But what if you don't marry?Isn't his lineage going to be extinct?

Mrs. Xu was in a hurry: "Why don't you adopt Shuan Zi from your elder brother's family?"

The eldest, Xu Qijiang, gave birth to three sons and a daughter. The youngest son was six years old at the time.

Xu Qijiang was willing, and it was not someone else, but his own younger brother, who was still in a big family anyway.

But his daughter-in-law didn't like it, so why should she adopt her son to the third child?The third child is not a rich man, and he is not yet well off.

Xu Qishan didn't want to either, he still had to save money to go to Taiwan Island to pick up his daughter, and raised his adoptive son, could he still save money?
But his old mother insisted that he adopt a child, or urged him to remarry.

He neither remarried nor continued, so he kept urging him.

Mrs. Xu was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer three years ago, and she was still thinking about it before she died, saying that the only thing she couldn't let go of was him.

He held his old lady's hand and promised her that he would leave a successor for Lao Xu's family.

But instead of adopting his nephew, he decided to adopt.

At that time, the old monk in the temple on the mountain passed away, leaving behind a young novice monk who was less than two years old. It is said that the old monk picked it up in the mountain, and most of them could not afford to throw it away.

Xu Qishan took the little novice home, went through the adoption procedures, and became his adopted son so that his old mother could rest in peace.

Since he became lame, he stopped thinking about doing coolies in the city.

However, the legs are disabled, but the hands are not disabled. After returning to the village, he has been learning to weave bamboo baskets from an old man in the village.

But ordinary bamboo baskets couldn’t be sold at a high price, so he racked his brains to make them more beautiful than ordinary bamboo baskets, and brought them to the town to sell during big fairs. After a few years, he really saved some money and went back and forth to Taiwan. The travel expenses and accommodation expenses should be enough.

Before the flash flood broke out, he was planning to finish the big fair and take his adopted son to Taiwan Island to visit his daughter.

Over the years, he has also figured it out. Of course he would be happy if his daughter is willing to come back with him; Pack some pocket money.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them set off, Shuangyang Mountain Village was hit by a mountain torrent.

Fortunately, they were not at home at the time, and it rained for several days, and the private land was flooded. Like other villagers, the two of them were scrambling to harvest in the field in coir raincoats and bamboo hats. It would be nice if they could grab some ripe potatoes and taro. .If they are left to soak in the water, there is really no harvest at all.

At this time, there was a sudden "boom", a flash flood erupted, and mudslides gushed down, instantly engulfing their house.

Compared with the house being swallowed, at least people are still alive.If he didn't go out due to the heavy rain, he might have died.

Thinking of this, Xu Qishan, who was sitting in the tent weaving baskets, sighed.

I don't know if the hole in the wall where he hid his money was washed away by mudslides. He has saved money for many years, alas...

"Little monk!"

"Little monk, who is your father? You have guests at your house, call your father out quickly!"

Led by an overzealous street worker, Xu Yin came to the entrance of the hall where the disaster victims were resettled.

Under the eaves, a few children with snotty noses were playing with paper bags, and a thin, bald child squatted in the corner, quietly watching them play.

Seeing someone calling him, he stood up awkwardly, with curiosity in his ignorant eyes.

Xu Yin: "..."

Is this her little novice brother?

"elder sister?"

The little bald head raised his face, stared at Xu Yin for several times, and grinned: "It's really my sister! You have a mole on your earlobe, and my father has it too. Sister, my father and I are going to see it." You, why are you back? Then can dad and I go to Taiwan to see you?"

Xu Yin laughed: "Do you want to go to Taiwan Island so much?"

The child touched his bald head: "Father said to go to Taiwan Island to find my sister, and I found her to take us to play for two days. I heard that Taiwan Island is rich, and there is everything on the street."

But now that my sister is back, will Dad still take him to Taiwan Island?

The little eyes were indescribably confused.

Xu Yin pinched his little face: "I'll take you there when my sister finishes her work. Then you can play for a few days if you want."

"Really?"

Before the little bald head could be happy, several children around him jumped up enviously:

"Little monk, can you go to Taiwan Island to play?"

"I heard that Taiwan Island is very good, and the people there are always rich."

"Little monk, you are so lucky to have a sister from Taiwan."

"Little monk, is this really your sister? Could it be Paihuazi?"

"Yes, do you have such a beautiful sister?"

The little bald head answered quickly: "No, no, she is really my sister, not a flower girl! Look, she has a mole on her earlobe, and my father has it too."

"Who doesn't have a mole? I have it too." A little boy raised his arm and pointed to a small black mole on his arm for the little bald head to see.

"It's different, it's not the same." The little bald head shook his head like a rattle, "My father and my sister both have moles on their earlobes."

"..."

The little boy couldn't take it anymore.

Xu Yin patted her younger brother's head amusedly: "Go, take my sister to find my father."

"it is good."

Before going in, Xu Yin thanked Comrade Liu Yan who led the way, and gave her a box of pineapple cakes bought last night.

There was also a box of pineapple cakes that was opened on the spot and divided among the children present, and the rest was given to the little novice monk.

The child is holding the pineapple cake, his eyes are shining, it is so fragrant and sweet!Just smelling it makes my mouth water.

certainly delicious!

He got half a box of such delicious snacks!

His sister is so nice!

The child secretly looked up at Xu Yin, and it happened that Xu Yin was also looking at him, and both siblings were having fun.

"Sister, I'll take you to find Dad, our tent is at the very end."

He took the initiative to hold Xu Yin's hand, and dragged her through the small path left between the tents, his small mouth excitedly shouted: "Father! Father! My sister is back!"

"Ah Shan, I seem to hear your family Xu Lin calling for your sister to come back. Could it be your family Yin Yin who has come back?"

Hearing what Xu Dazhu from the tent next door said, Xu Qishan paused in weaving baskets, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "I haven't looked for her yet, probably not."

Xu Dazhu was tall, looked up at the direction Xu Lin was running towards, and said "Hey": "Ashan, look quickly, your Xu Lin really brought a girl over, is it your Yin Yin? "

Now, Xu Qishan couldn't sit still anymore, put down the basket and stood up, dragging his legs that were a little numb, and limped to the entrance of the tent.

Xu Lin pulled Xu Yin to the front, happily reporting: "Father, sister came back to see what we did."

"Yin, Yinyin?"

"Dad, it's me."

"Clang clang..."

"Ouch--"

Xu Qishan's lame leg accidentally tripped over the pole supporting the tent, and the tent collapsed.

"..."
