Chapter 353
Master Xu is not blind to death, and Cao Fu is looking forward to the good period
Xu Da looked at Xu Shixian, who was extremely stunned, knowing that things were not as simple as he imagined, and it seemed that Xu Shixian didn't know anything about this matter, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, master, a few days ago, I was walking around the village, and I heard from the tenant farmers that before the autumn harvest, the land security gathered them all together and held a meeting for them, saying that they had received an order from the security regiment that this year's rent did not need to be handed over to our family or to the county government, and all of them must be handed over to the security regiment." Moreover, the people of the security group also made it clear that the tenant farmers divided our family's fields, and they still owned them and let them cultivate them freely, but this year's rent has increased by 10% compared with previous years. ”
Xu Shixian's eyes immediately widened, and he asked anxiously: "In addition to taking away this year's rent, the security team also said that they gave all our fields to tenant farmers?"
Xu Da said: "I also asked about this in detail, and they said that when the chief of security conveyed the order of the security group, he made a clear promise to the tenant farmers that as long as they took the initiative to pay rent, the land would still belong to them, and if they were in arrears, they would take back the land in their hands." In order to keep the land in their hands, everyone went to the security group to pay rent while harvesting in autumn. I see that the master has never mentioned the matter of renting, thinking that our family has this relationship with the security group, and must have made arrangements in advance, and I don't dare to ask more, so I didn't talk to the master about the outside. ”
Xu Shixian couldn't help but feel his blood surge, and said angrily: "When did the security team discuss it with me? This is all a promise they made behind my back, why did they give away my land?"
Xu Da said helplessly: "Now we don't have a land deed in our hands, and those tenant farmers have a new land deed issued by the Soviet District Government in their hands. Now the only way is for the government to come forward and abolish the title deeds issued by the Soviet district government, and then let the tenant farmers return the land and issue new land deeds to us, so now the control of these lands is in the hands of the government, and they can give it to whomever they want. ”
Xu Shixian thought that Cao Kai had already helped him solve the problem of land ownership, and it was a sure thing for the tenants to pay rent this year, so he didn't rush to let Xu Da go to the tenants to collect the rent, and was ready to wait for Xu Shuwan to fully launch the collection after she got married, but he didn't expect to wait for such a result. When it comes to settling the issue of ownership and income from these lands, some of them must have lied, is it Cao Kai, or Cao Xuan, or their daughter?
These tens of thousands of acres of land were originally their own property, but they were forced to hand over in desperation, and with Cao Kai entering the capital, he fantasized that he could use his strength to help him recover these lands, which was the last hope for his comeback. What I didn't expect was that the proceeds of these lands were finally collected by Cao Kai.
In the face of such a huge blow, Xu Shixian couldn't accept it for a while, and suddenly felt that Venus was in his eyes, and the sky was spinning. In addition to the anger, his body trembled involuntarily, his chest began to rise and fall violently, his breathing became a little difficult, his face was red, and he opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something but in the end he still didn't say it.
Seeing this, Xu Da hurriedly climbed onto the kang, sat next to Xu Shixian, supported his back with one hand, rubbed his chest with the other hand, and comforted him with some panic: "Master, don't worry, let's discuss the land matter in the long term after the eldest lady gets married." ”
Xu Shixian opened his mouth wide, used all his strength, took a few heavy breaths, and the shaking of his body gradually calmed down, two lines of turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he said with difficulty: "Who is lying to me?"
Seeing this, Xu Da hurriedly helped him sit down, asked him to arch his back, and kept slapping him on his vest, and after a long time, Xu Shixian finally coughed up a mouthful of thick phlegm with blood clots, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Xu Shixian took a breath, he coughed one after another, and then let out a heavy wheezing sound like a broken bellows in his throat, and a large mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.
Xu Da saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked the maid who was standing on the side to go outside to call Mrs. and Miss.
After Xu Shixian spit out more than ten mouthfuls of blood in a row, he suddenly widened his eyes, clenched his fists, and shouted: "I'm not reconciled!" After speaking, his neck was crooked and he fell into Xu Da's arms.
Xu Da shook Xu Shixian's body while shouting loudly in horror: "Master, master, wake up!"
Fang Fei, who was playing with Yawang outside, heard the maid's shout, threw Yawang to the nurse next to him, and ran to the bedroom in a panic. When she came in the door, she saw Xu Shixian lying in Xu Da's arms, no longer breathing.
Fang Fei immediately rushed to Xu Shixian's side and shouted loudly: "Master, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, wake up!"
Xu Shuwan, who came in a hurry, heard the crying in the house, and suddenly felt her heart sink, and immediately her limbs were weak, her legs trembled, and she stumbled into the house against the wall.
Xu Shixian had already been laid flat on the kang, and Fang Fei and Xu Da were crying beside him.
Xu Shuwan stood on the ground and hesitated for a moment, looked at Xu Shixian, who was motionless, and exclaimed sadly: "Dad!" The tears in her eyes had already burst out of her eyes.
Xu Shuwan staggered to her father's side, only to see that her father's face was pale, there were red blood stains on the corners of his mouth and the beard on his chin, his eyes were half-open, but his eyes were no longer shiny, she held one of her father's hands, her body temperature was still there, and she put her fingers under her father's nose, and she was no longer breathing.
Xu Shuwan shook Xu Shixian's hand and cried: "Dad, get up quickly! Dad, you speak, I'm Shuwan, get up and look at me!"
No matter how Xu Shuwan shook and shouted, Xu Shixian didn't make a sound, he had already left this world with a stomach full of resentment.
This rich man, who has always been kind to others, has been working hard all his life to accumulate wealth and protect wealth, being modest and low-key, cautious in doing things, cautious all day long, walking on thin ice, but he didn't expect to end up with a scattered family fortune and a blind death, he didn't understand until he died, this turbulent and dark society was the culprit who killed him.
Xu Shuwan knew that her loving father would never wake up again, and from then on, she became an orphan without a father or mother. She knelt on her father's chest, let out a loud cry of grief, wanted to tell the grievances in her chest, expressed the reluctance in her heart, and after a few heart-wrenching wails, her eyes turned black and fell beside her father.
Fang Fei, who was crying bitterly on the side, immediately panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to pinch her, Begonia, who had been sobbing behind Xu Shuwan, also hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up, and kept shouting: "Miss, Miss!" Under the continuous call of the two, after a long time, Xu Shuwan woke up and turned around.
Xu Shuwan lay in Haitang's arms, looking at her father who was getting colder and colder, and the tears that she couldn't suppress gushed out. After a long silence, Xu Shuwan struggled to straighten up, came to her father's side again, slowly stretched out her palm, gently stroked her father's eyelids, and closed his eyes.
Yawang was held in the arms of the wet nurse, standing on the edge of the kang, looking at the crying crowd curiously, not knowing what was happening in front of him, he was soon infected by the cries of Fang Fei and Xu Shuwan, and also cried, constantly kicking and beating the nurse, shouting to find his mother, no matter how the nurse coaxed, it was useless.
Fang Fei looked at her crying son, so she had to reach out and take him from the wet nurse. The moment Yawang was picked up by Fang Fei, he immediately stopped crying and looked at his mother with a pair of big watery eyes.
Fang Fei saw that Yawang had stopped crying, so he put him on the kang and sat down. Yawang looked at Xu Shixian who was lying there, grinned, smiled happily, and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, ride a horse." As he spoke, he pouted his ass and crawled towards Xu Shixian's body.
Seeing this, Fang Fei hurriedly pulled him down, and Yawang immediately howled aggrievedly, muttering in his mouth: "Find Daddy, ride a horse, find Daddy." ”
After the Xu family's subordinates got the news, they also rushed over, crowded the whole house, and whimpered in a low voice there, they listened to Yawang's immature cry, everyone was sad for a while, and they couldn't hold back the grief in their hearts, and they all cried loudly, and for a while, the sad atmosphere shrouded the entire Xu family compound.
Xu Da had calmed down, he stopped crying, and beckoned to the servants and servants gathered in the center of the room. Let the woman support the lady and the young lady, appease their emotions, and let the man explain the future for Master Xu.
In order to welcome Xu Shuwan's marriage, the big red happy characters posted on the wall of the Xu family's compound and the big red lanterns hanging under the eaves were all taken down and replaced by white curtains hanging on the door, and the entire Xu family compound became a solemnity.
Xu Shixian is dead, and there is no son who has a top door under his knees, and all the funerals can only be taken care of by Xu Shuwan, who is a daughter, how can she understand these rules? Now there is only a stepmother who is one year younger than herself, and a younger brother who is less than two years old. Although Xu Da has worked in his own family for many years and has paid for his family wholeheartedly, he can't do everything for him, and he can't take care of the world's vision at this time, so he can only let Cao Xuan help him handle the funeral for his father.
Xu Shuwan tried to calm herself down, she ordered Xu Da to arrange people to go into the city to report the funeral to her eldest uncle Xu Shiyao's family and her second uncle Xu Shize's family, and at the same time, she went to Zhongyifang to inform Cao Xuan of the misfortune at home and asked him to come to help.
According to the wedding customs in the Bashang area, a few days before the wedding, the man and woman cannot meet, and they must wait until the wedding day, when the groom lifts the bride's hijab with his own hands, to see the beauty again.
Cao Xuan is a person who is not good at expressing love, when he is with Xu Shuwan, he never shows his affection, and more often he hides his sincere emotions deep in his heart, sometimes a knowing smile, a heart-to-heart look, is the best way for him to express his love.
As the wedding date approached, although Cao Xuan looked at the clouds and the breeze, his heart had already flown to Xu Shuwan's side. As soon as I have my free time, I will think about what she is doing at this time, and whether she is also thinking about herself. Several years have passed in a flash, but now these short days seem to have been extraordinarily extended, and I can't wait for the dawn or sunset every day, and I can't wait for the happy moment to come. The process of waiting is both happy and tormenting.
Cao Xuan had no intention of staying at home, and after making a wedding ceremony with his sisters-in-law, he hurriedly returned to the cylinder workshop.
In Cao Xuan's eyes, the Cao family compound does not have the traces of living with Xu Shuwan, and there will be a sense of loneliness in the heart, and the bits and pieces when the two are together will become blurred. And back in the city, closer to Xu Shuwan, I can sense her existence more clearly, there are footprints left by the two of them in many places in the city, no matter where they go, they will touch the scene, and those past things that have passed in the years will come to mind, which is a very wonderful feeling.
Cao Xuan felt that if the two had been separated for a long time before, he would have felt this way, but it was not so strong, although the two had been separated for a short time, but as the good time approached, this feeling became more and more intense, Cao Xuan thought that maybe this is what love looks like.
Although Cao Xuan was anxious to be with Xu Shuwan, he didn't dare to break the rules, and after returning from Fuhe Village, he never went to Xu's house again, staring absentmindedly at the business in the cylinder shop every day.
Cao Xuan is about to get married, in the eyes of Ma Ping and Awl, this is a big deal, although the two also want to contribute to Cao Xuan's marriage, but the huge logistics team of the Cao family has already taken care of all affairs in an orderly manner, and there is no need to contribute.
Ma Ping and the awl are useless, they are unwilling, the two of them think about it, since the home field has no own points, the wedding room cannot be arranged, and the ceremony cannot be arranged, then on the three-point land of the cylinder workshop, get some colorful heads, let Cao Xuan and Xu Shuwan be happy, and let the guys follow the excitement.
The two saw Cao Xuan wandering around in the cylinder workshop, so they didn't bother him, Ma Ping asked the awl to pay some money from the account room, drove the carriage, and went to the street to buy more than ten pairs of red lanterns and dozens of different shapes of happy characters, and bought happy candy, happy cigarettes and other items, in addition, the awl also bought a few pieces of red paper, and spent ten yuan to let people write a couplet for the occasion, the upper link: the joyful spring breeze hall on the double flying swallow, the lower link: the new thing is on the edge of the Liri pool and Tilian.
The awl felt that the word was less and suffered, so he let the knife catcher rack his brains to write such a long couplet, the word awl on the top was an illiterate, not only could not distinguish the upper and lower couplets, but even the head and feet of the word could not be distinguished, he was upside down to show Ma Ping.
Just as Ma Ping and Awl were fiddling with these things in the office, Yuan Laosan and Han Jiao walked in from outside under the guidance of the janitor.
When Ma Ping and Awl saw that Yuan Laosan and his wife had arrived, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and got up to greet them, and Awl shouted even more affectionately: "Master, master." ”
The guy carried two stacks of brick tea tied with straw rope in his hand, told Ma Ping that it was brought by Yuan Sanye and his wife, and put the brick tea on the table and went out.
Yuan Laosan and Han Jiao sat down, greeted Ma Ping there, and the awl went to the cylinder workshop to find Cao Xuan.
When Cao Xuan heard that Yuan Laosan and his wife had arrived, he immediately put down the work in his hand and walked to the office.
After Cao Xuan, Yuan Laosan, and Han Jiao exchanged a few words of greeting, they all sat on the chairs, and the diligent awl made hot tea for them and brought it over.
Ma Ping and Yuan Laosan and his wife said a few polite words, knowing that they were going to talk to Cao Xuan about some housework, so they and the awl went to the yard to post and hang the wedding supplies with them.
Cao Xuan looked at the two stacks of brick tea on the table, and said to Yuan Laosan: "Third child, bringing so much tea leaves will make you break the bank again." ”
Yuan Laosan said: "Second brother, what are you talking about, a little tea, what's the point? Second brother is such a big thing, Jiaojiao and I can't help at all, I feel ashamed." ”
Cao Xuan said with a smile: "The third child, I am too careful, don't say it's you, even I'm idle, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have already arranged everything, I'm waiting to sit back and enjoy it." If it weren't for the fact that marriage could not be replaced, the eldest brother and sister-in-law would have done it for them. ”
Yuan Laosan said with a smile: "Second brother is so blessed, there are brothers and sisters-in-law at home to worry about, there are brothers outside to take care of them, and there will be more sister-in-law Shuwan to accompany me in the future, I really envy others." ”
Cao Xuan said with a smile: "The third child, it is said that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, it is true, you are now prosperous in your career, and you have Wu Zi and Guo Zi to help you; there is Han Jiao's sister at home to help you in the house, and you can tidy up the housework in an orderly manner. ”
Yuan Laosan glanced at Han Jiao's slightly bulging belly and said: "Second brother, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, Jiaojiao is virtuous, but people are now the heroes of our old Yuan family, who dares to let her work?
Han Jiao playfully glanced at Yuan Laosan and said, "Don't always put gold on your face, when will I use you to serve, when will I not revolve around you with my stomach up?"
Cao Xuan sincerely sighed: "Jiaojiao, you don't want to be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, the third child is a pampered son and brother in the family, living a life of clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth, and now he can take care of you so considerately, but he is sincere." ”
Yuan Laosan heard Cao Xuan talking to him, and said with a smile: "Look, the second brother still understands me, and Jiaojiao doesn't know how much sacrifice I have made for her." ”
Han Jiao grabbed Bai and said: "Stinky beauty, you, as soon as someone praises you, you will climb up the pole." ”
Yuan Laosan and Han Jiao glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and said, "Hey, in your eyes, I can't compare to others." If I'm really as unbearable as you say, and you're still willing to marry me, doesn't that prove that you don't have vision?"
Han Jiao said: "Aren't I afraid that you will be proud? Keep hitting you to make you progress." ”
Cao Xuan watched them bickering there with a smile on his face, feeling this rare and warm scene, and deeply envious of their happy life after marriage.
The upright and arrogant Yuan Laosan has become an iron man and tender since he got married, and he knows cold and hot for Han Jiao, and takes care of her carefully, for fear that she will be wronged a little. Han Jiao's original coquettish and willful personality has also changed a lot, and she has subtly become a virtuous wife who is filial to her in-laws and considerate of her husband, perhaps this is the power of love.
Yuan Laosan looked at Cao Xuan, who was smiling and silent, and said to Han Jiao: "Jiaojiao, look, let's come to visit the second brother, let's talk about it here, why don't you hurry up and ask the second brother what little help we can do?"
Han Jiao said: "When we got married, Sister Shuwan worked tirelessly and made a special trip to the house to help me groom and dress up and sort out the dowry, but I didn't put in a lot of effort. It's just that I'm pregnant now, and I'm afraid of going to the house to visit Sister Shuwan and her family. Sister Shuwan is about to get married, but I can't be busy at all, I can only watch her work at home alone, hey, I'll ask her for guilt after Sister Shuwan gets married!"
Cao Xuan said: "Jiaojiao, you are too worried, Shuwan will not be very busy with the help of Mrs. Xu and Begonia." In addition, Master Xu also attaches great importance to Shuwan's marriage, and the Xu family has sent a letter, saying that the family is all ready to stop, just waiting for me to get married. ”
Just as Yuan Laosan was about to speak, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside, and the awl leaned into half of his body in a panic, and said to the room: "Second master, something happened." ”
Cao Xuan and the three of them couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the words of the awl, and at the same time looked up at the awl standing at the door, not knowing why he said this.
Without waiting for Cao Xuan to ask, the awl had already pushed a person behind him through the door.
Cao Xuan knew the person who came, it was the descendant of the Xu family, and he saw him with a solemn face, with pathos between his eyebrows.
