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

Xie Zhuo sighed, walked over and helped his fallen nephew up. After checking that his hands and arms were fine, he reached out and patted his clothes gently.

The two children froze in an instant, staring at him with their big round, black eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Zhuo squatted down and pinched the two little creatures' faces. "It's just playing with dirt for a while, what are you afraid of?"

The children didn't expect him to say that. They stared at him for a long time before they timidly said, "Uncle San doesn't like dirty kids."

Xie Zhuo: “?”

Did he say that?

Xie Zhuo frowned and thought carefully. No matter in his previous life or in his rebirth, he had never made any strict demands on his two nephews. Besides, which child who grew up in the countryside had not played with dirt when he was a child?

When he was a kid...

Oh, he really never played it when he was a kid.

Too dirty.

Not to mention when I was a child, even now, I am busy working in the fields all day long, with my face to the loess and my back to the sky. The soil in the fields is not comparable to the soil in the sand pit in the yard!

"Third Uncle doesn't like dirty kids," Xie Zhuo just opened his mouth and saw the two children in front of him froze in an instant, their eyes seemed to have valves, tears came out without warning.

"But!" Xie Zhuo didn't expect that he could not even finish his sentence and scared the child to tears. He quickly added, "But, Third Uncle likes you two. No matter you are dirty kids or not, Third Uncle likes you two."

I thought the two children would stop crying after he said that, but when he finished speaking and went to wipe their tears, they cried even harder.

Xie Zhuo: “…”

"Uncle San," one of the children sobbed and looked at Xie Zhuo, "If you liked me and my brother, would you not have sold us out?"

As soon as he said this, Xie Zhuo's expression immediately became serious.

"Dabao, who said I was going to sell you out?" Xie Zhuo asked.

"Grandma Tian," the child called Dabao was still crying, his speech was a little unclear, "Grandma Tian said that when Third Uncle gets married, she will sell me and my brother. Then she will be my grandma, Third Uncle. I don't want her to be my grandma."

"I don't want to either," another younger child also cried, "Grandma Tian's beating hurts a lot. Last time I saw her pinch Heiya's arm until it turned red."

Xie Zhuo’s expression became increasingly ugly.

The two children seemed to have noticed his change in mood. They looked at him with tears in their eyes and dared not say a word.

Xie Zhuo came back to his senses.

"Don't worry, I won't sell you out," Xie Zhuo stretched out his hand to wipe their tears, but seeing that his hands were covered in dirt, he could only stand up and pull them into the house. "Uncle San likes Dabao and Xiaobao the most. If anyone says something like this again, come back and tell Uncle San."

Children's emotions come and go quickly. After receiving Xie Zhuo's personal promise, he became happy again, "Well, Dabao likes Uncle San the best too."

"Xiaobao too, likes Uncle San the best," another child quickly followed suit.

"Okay, since you all like what Third Uncle says so much," Xie Zhuo glanced at the two of them who were covered in dirt, "then you will definitely be obedient when Third Uncle gives you a bath later!"

Xie Zhuo looked at them with a smile.

Dabao: "..."

Xiaobao: "..."

Although, I always feel like something is not right.

Didn’t Uncle San say that he loved them no matter what?

Why take a shower then!

However, since Uncle San said so, then they should just take a bath. It’s a good opportunity to play in the water!

Half an hour later, Xie Zhuo carried two little kids with smiles on their faces out of the room. The kids were cute. Although they had different fathers and mothers, they both had Xie family blood in their bodies, so they looked a bit similar.

They all have the same double eyelids, big eyes, and they like to squint when they smile. Of course, they are also just as naughty.

Xie Zhuo's hair was wet after taking a bath.

"Let's go out and play in the sun in the afternoon." Seeing that they were still trying to get out under the scorching sun, Xie Zhuo stopped them and said, "Go play inside for a while. When the weather gets cooler in the afternoon, I'll take you to the river to fish."

The two children were just feeling disappointed when they heard that Xie Zhuo didn't allow them to play in the yard, and then they heard the second half of Uncle San's words.

"Really? Uncle San," Dabao shouted happily.

"Really? Uncle San," Xiaobao immediately followed.

"Really?" Xie Zhuo looked at the repeater Xiaobao with some amusement. "It's too hot now. Don't get a heat stroke. If you get a heat stroke, you won't be able to go anywhere."

The two children immediately said that they would wait in the room obediently and would never go to the yard.

What a good day today is!

Uncle San actually wants to take them out to play!

Ever since grandpa and grandma suddenly disappeared, my third uncle has been very busy every day. Apart from coming back to cook for them, he often comes back very late and goes out very early in the morning. Not to mention taking them out to play, he rarely has time to talk to them.

Grandma Tian said that it was because Uncle San didn’t like them, so he didn’t take them out to play.

He also said that his third uncle would sell him and his younger brother Xiaobao sooner or later because his third uncle was going to get married and his third aunt would definitely not want to have two burdens in the family.

Dabao doesn't know what a burden bottle is.

But Dabao was very scared.

I’m afraid that it will really be like what Grandma Tian said, that Uncle San won’t want them anymore.

What should they do then? They don’t want to be beaten by Grandma Tian every day like Heiya.

Now, Uncle San told them that he loves them and will not sell them.

The two children ran into another room like kites with their strings cut, and after a while, their clear giggles could be heard.

Xie Zhuo stood at the door and listened for a while before he went back into the house, took out a medium-sized wooden barrel and poured it out, then scooped up a basin of water heated by the sun from the yard and brought it into the house, where he washed himself clean, and then washed his clothes together with the clothes that the two children had taken off.

No matter how lawless my life was before, now I know how much my parents and brother dote on me.

Xie Zhuo's family was considered a well-known wealthy family in Qingshan Brigade. His two elder brothers were serving in the army and held high official positions. They would send money and tickets home every month. His father was the accountant of the brigade and his mother was also a capable person. She was not only one of the few literate women in the village, but also managed the household very well. As the youngest and most favored son in the family, he naturally did not have to shoulder the burden of the family.

I have been idle for a while.

Later, my parents and brother were gone, and the family was broken up...

On the first day of working with the team, a big blister formed on his hand from the wooden handle of the shovel, but he worked all day without saying a word. When he returned home at night and looked at the oil lamp, he found that the blister had already broken and blood was all over his palm.

He sat under the oil lamp in a daze. When he came to his senses, he found that two children were hiding at the door and secretly watching him. Their stomachs were growling with hunger, but they didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him.

Only then did Xie Zhuo realize that he was not the only one left in the family, there were also two children left by his brothers.

The burden of life from now on will be on his shoulders.
