Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

As the days go by, the weather is getting colder. I used to just wear a coat in the morning, but now I have to wear a sweater.

Before Dabao entered the house, laughter could be heard. Xu Yan was washing vegetables. Hearing the noise, he looked outside.

"Third aunt!"

Although Xu Yan didn't see anything at first glance, Dabao rushed into the kitchen the next second and told her what had happened.

"My brother and I got first place in this exam," Dabao shouted, "We are the only two in the whole school who got full marks."

"Really? So amazing!" Although Xu Yan knew that they were both smart, he was still very happy to hear that they did well in the exam.

"Yeah," Dabao nodded hard.

"Look, our test papers," Xiaobao also ran in, holding his and Dabao's test papers in his hands.

Xu Yan took it and took a look. They were indeed bright red. She immediately bent down and kissed the two little guys on the cheek, "Great!"

Although Dabao and Xiaobao had been kissed on the cheek before, they were still a little embarrassed.

No, it should be happy and embarrassed.

"Where is your third uncle?" Xu Yan carefully put away the test paper, and asked when he saw that Xie Zhuo had not come in for a long time.

"Uncle San was called away by Grandma Yang," Xiaobao said.

"Grandma Yang?" Xu Yan didn't react at once.

"She's Uncle Mancang's mother," said Xiaobao.

"Oh," Xu Yan nodded. In recent days, Aunt Yang has been trying to find a wife for Liu Mancang, but Liu Mancang is stubborn and insists that he is still young and there is no rush.

Yang Shulan couldn't persuade him, so she wanted Xie Zhuo to go over and persuade her.

Xu Yan didn't know whether Xie Zhuo had tried to persuade him or not, but he had been dragged there to act as a lobbyist for three consecutive days.

"Then we can only eat mixed fried rice today," Xu Yan looked at the two kids, "I'll let Uncle San make you something delicious tomorrow at noon."

"Mixed fried rice is delicious," Dabao immediately responded.

"Well, it's delicious. I haven't had mixed fried rice for a long time," Xiaobao also said following Dabao.

Xu Yan's heart softened immediately.

"Oh, how come you two are so well behaved?" Xu Yan touched their heads. "Auntie Three really likes you two so much."

"We like Third Aunt, too," the two boys answered at the same time.

Because Xie Zhuo couldn't come back for the time being, Xu Yan started cooking by himself. Dabao and Xiaobao ran back to the house to put down their schoolbags, changed their clothes, and then came to the kitchen to help.

Influenced by Xu Yan during this period, everyone in the family would consciously wash their hands and change their clothes after returning home.

They wear the same sweater and pants. They are obviously not twins, but they like similar colors and styles.

Of course, a big part of the reason is that there are only a few styles of clothes in this era, and it is good to have something to wear. So there are still people who are picky.

After Dabao lit the fire, he said to Xu Yan, "A classmate cried in class today."

"Ah? Why are you crying?" Xu Yan finished steaming the rice and looked back at him.

"He said someone poured water on his stool," Dabao said, "and then the student he pointed it out denied it and said he wet his pants and then blamed him."

"So, how was this matter finally resolved?" Xu Yan asked him while cutting vegetables.

"The teacher punished the crying student by making him copy the text," said Dabao.

Xu Yan frowned.

"In fact, I saw the water that Fang Guochao poured," Xiaobao said, "but I told my teacher and he said I saw it wrong."

Xu Yan stopped chopping vegetables and asked, "Is that Mr. Feng, the math teacher?"

"No," Xiaobao shook his head, "It's Teacher Chang, the Chinese teacher."

Xu Yan stood there without moving, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she walked in front of Dabao and Xiaobao and squatted down, "Is there anyone in the school bullying Dabao and Xiaobao?"

"No," Xiaobao shook his head.

"Teacher Feng likes us very much," Dabao said. "Last time, someone said we were... wild kids that no one wanted. Teacher Feng slapped their hands and said that if they dared to talk nonsense again, they would be punished by copying the test paper. So they didn't dare to say anything anymore."

"Is there anyone who says this to you?" Xu Yan's eyes grew a little colder, but as he was afraid of scaring the two kids, his expression remained gentle.

"It happened a long time ago," Dabao said, "no one talks about it now."

Xu Yan touched his little face and asked, "Why don't you tell Third Aunt and Third Uncle?"

"It's nothing," Dabao said, "Some people said that before, but I didn't like to hear it at that time. But since Third Aunt came to our house, I don't care anymore."

Xu Yan looked at him.

"Because I know that we are the treasures of the Xie family, not wild children that no one wants. Even if there is no one else, we still have our third uncle and third aunt," said Dabao.

The little baby makes a sweet voice.

He is just a kid who hasn't even turned five yet, but the words he said are so touching that it makes people want to cry.

"Yes, no matter what time, you two are Uncle San and Aunt San's treasures," Xu Yan hugged the two children.

"You are not unwanted. Your uncle and aunt want you. Other families want such cute children but don't have them yet."

Xie Zhuo came out of Liu Mancang's house just before dinner and returned to his own home. When Xu Yan saw him coming into the kitchen, he said, "I thought you were going to have dinner at his house."

Xie Zhuo smiled.

"Aunt Yang insisted that I talk to Mancang about the benefits of marriage," Xie Zhuo said, "It's hard to explain it in a few words, so I just sat there for a while."

Xu Yan glanced at him.

"It's great to get married," Xiao Bao suddenly added, "Uncle San is getting married, and Aunt San is coming to our house. How great is that."

"You're really sweet," Xie Zhuo teased him, imitating Xiaobao's tone of voice, "It would be great if you could be this well behaved when you sleep later."

Xiaobao stopped talking.

He has had some trouble falling asleep lately, and after listening to a story he wants to hear another one.

Sometimes Xie Zhuo told three stories in one night, and even when Dabao fell asleep, he would still blink his eyes and beg Xie Zhuo to tell him another one.

Of course, there was no problem for Xie Zhuo. It was the slack season during farming recently. Apart from doing some odd jobs assigned by the team leader, he usually went hunting in the mountains with Liu Mancang and Zhao Jisheng. It was okay to sleep late.

But Xiaobao can't do that. He is still growing and needs enough sleep. Besides, he has to get up early to go to school the next day, so he can't not go to bed on time.

Xu Yan felt that he was worried about something, but he couldn't get the answer after asking him several times. Xie Zhuo also asked him several times in different ways, but he still couldn't get the answer.

It was almost seven o'clock when they finished dinner. While Xie Zhuo was washing the dishes, Xu Yan told him what Dabao had said to her.

"Tell me," Xu Yan frowned, "Does Xiaobao miss his mother?"

Xie Zhuo remained silent.

"Or..." Xu Yan stopped talking halfway and didn't know how to continue. Except for Xie Zhuo's brother and sister-in-law, no one else knew what happened that year.

If we go there rashly, who knows if there will be any unpredictable situations.

"Let me talk to Dabao and Xiaobao again," Xie Zhuo put the bowls in the cabinet, "If it doesn't work, I'll go over and look for them again."
