After the story was told, a piece of melon seed peel fell on the snow.
Miao Hongqi looked back and saw the four of them standing there, cracking melon seeds, and felt helpless: "I'm sweeping the snow out front and telling stories, and you guys are listening and eating melon seeds in the back?"
Wang Xue chuckled, took a broom and swept it twice, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the two of them had such a relationship. I was wondering why Xiangqin was willing to give Zhao Zhuangshi a small lesson to teach him how to read! "
Wen Lan was not interested in love or love, and asked inquisitively: "How many people are there on the other side? How many did Zhao Zhuangshi bring? How were they beaten?"
Only Wang Shumei was serious. She pondered for a moment and said objectively: "From this point of view, Xiangqin must be unstoppable from marrying Zhao Zhuangshi."
They all finished expressing their opinions and turned to look at Lin Nianhe.
They are not used to it when the most capable person suddenly goes silent!
Lin Nianhe finished eating the last melon seed and commented: "Based on my understanding of Zhao Zhuangshi, he would choose to knock on the door in the first place. Most likely, he felt that his authority as the village hegemon was being challenged."
Everyone: "..."
It seems... makes sense...
…
After hearing Yu Xiangqin's story, Widow Zhao felt even more complicated.
Of course she remembered her son's battle to become famous. His face was beaten like a pig's head, and he still had the nerve to go home and say that he would be a hero guarding the production team in the future... Who could be a hero with big black eyes?
Yu Xiangqin grabbed the corner of her clothes, lowered her eyes and whispered, "Who else in this world can risk their life to save me."
Widow Zhao often listened to stories and operas in her early years. She loved to listen to stories about heroes and beauties and watch "The Matchmaker," but her son was not the number one scholar, and it seemed that... he could barely be considered a hero now.
Widow Zhao recalled her mood when she was listening to the book. She was silent for a long time, then reached out and patted the back of Yu Xiangqin's hand: "Don't be anxious about this matter. Let's discuss it with your parents... My family can't compare with yours in the city. We are so strong." One illness cost the team more than a hundred, and even my family's money was less than half of it. You will definitely suffer when you get married."
Widow Zhao knew how to live and work. Although Zhao Zhuangshi didn't work much in the past, he could always get some money back by catching fish or catching rabbits. But no matter how good she was, it was really difficult for a widow with two children to save money.
Widow Zhao stood up after talking about her family's situation. She said, "You tell Zhuang Shi, I'll go home and get something."
"OK."
Widow Zhao dragged Wang Hong away, leaving Zhao Zhuangshi and Yu Xiangqin alone in the ward.
Yu Xiangqin lowered her eyes and peeled the eggs, then handed them to Zhao Zhuangshi.
Zhao Zhuangshi felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to hide back, but it hurt when he moved his legs and he couldn't help but take a breath.
"What's wrong with you? I'm going to call the doctor to take a look at you." Yu Xiangqin quickly put the eggs into the lid of the lunch box and got up to go out.
"Hey, it's okay." Zhao Zhuangshi called out to her, "It just hurts a little bit, no need to be pretentious."
Yu Xiangqin saw that he really didn't seem to be in trouble, so he sat down again.
Zhao Zhuangshi felt uncomfortable all over and was quite puzzled——
He hadn't been so upset when he teased the little widow before, but now it felt like he had lice?
Yu Xiangqin handed him the egg again.
Zhao Zhuangshi said dryly: "No, I'm not hungry."
"Oh." Yu Xiangqin put the egg back and rolled his eyes, "Then you didn't tell me earlier."
"I thought you wanted to eat."
"If I want to eat, just give it to me."
Zhao Zhuangshi: "..."
That's right, he can give it to her if she wants to eat it? Why didn't he stop her? Those are eggs!
He didn't understand, so he could only stare.
Yu Xiangqin looked at him for a while and suddenly smiled.
She raised her chin at him and asked, "When can you go to the ground? Let's go get the marriage certificate."
Zhao Zhuangshi: "...!"
Yu Xiangqin glared at him: "What? You hugged me in front of so many people. You don't want to take responsibility and you want to act like a hooligan?"
Zhao Zhuangshi's eyes were full of shock: "Didn't I f*cking save you?"
"Yes," Yu Xiangqin said, "Just tell me whether you hug me or not!"
Zhao Zhuangshi opened his mouth wide, and after a while he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "You bitch! I can't explain to you!"
The still young former village tyrant fell into trouble at the hands of a shrewd bitch.
From that day on, Yu Xiangqin and Widow Zhao began to take care of Zhao Zhuangshi every day. When her aunt asked about something, she said directly without blushing or out of breath:
"We are in a relationship and we are getting married soon."
As soon as these words came out, no one stopped gossiping. They all said that Zhao Zhuangshi was worth the beating and got a wife back.
Yu Xiangqin was not idle either. She called her mother's work and explained the cause and effect clearly, and also hinted that everyone knew about it.
Yu's mother, who was far away in Hohhot, was stunned and cried for three days, and finally had to accept the fact that her eldest daughter was going to marry a country man.
Because Yu Xiangqin specifically emphasized the life-saving grace several times on the phone, Yu's mother and Yu's father discussed it until midnight, and finally secretly sold a pair of jade bracelets left by the old man, and used the family's savings over the years to raise money. I paid 200 yuan and remitted it to Yu Xiangqin first.
When Yu Xiangqin received the remittance slip, everyone was stunned.
When she was four or five years old, she had to take care of her younger brothers, first one, then two. Both parents have to go to work, and she does most of the work at home. The two younger brothers will open their mouths and call sister.
When she gets into trouble, her parents will definitely scold her first; when there is a conflict, they will definitely say "you are the elder sister".
When she went to the countryside, her mother gave her fifty yuan. She kept asking her to take the money from the time she left the house until she got on the train. If she lost it, the family would have no money to give her...
She always felt that she was the least popular child in the family.
She dialed her mother's work phone number again, and heard her mother's voice before she opened her mouth. She seemed to have been waiting by the phone.
"mom……"
"Hey, have you received the money?"
"received……"
"Listen to me, give me the money for the medicine first. You can't owe it to me, otherwise you won't be able to hold your head high at your husband's house in the future. Keep the rest first, and don't spend it randomly. , I will exchange cloth tickets and industrial tickets for you. I will send them to you when I have collected enough. You can buy some red cloth and tailor your own clothes... Tell me when you set the wedding day. Your father and I will have to ask for leave in advance. The second child is in the Corps and will definitely not be able to go, and I don’t plan to let the third child follow. The train tickets are very expensive..."
Listening to her mother's nagging, Yu Xiangqin's eyes turned red.
She suddenly understood that the injustice and hardship she had felt were actually something every "eldest sister" had to experience.
"Your grandma also got you twenty yuan, and I will bring it to you when the time comes. Oh yes, the old lady also got you cheese and packed a big bag... Girl, think again, if you don't want to get married. , just give the two hundred yuan to his family, so we can thank him..."
