When the spring is cold in February, the cold wind and warm sunshine intertwine, giving people a unique feeling. The new buds growing on the trees awaken the entire earth with the breath of spring.
Wang Jianying rode a bicycle to the county to fill out a volunteer application, and Zheng Jingwen sat in the back seat. The cool morning breeze and crisp laughter look like an oil painting from a distance.
The two of them came to the county middle school to fill in their applications. By coincidence, Su Mingli was also in the office. Since he went to work in the factory, he rarely returned to the village, so seriously counting, they had not seen each other for almost two years.
Su Mingli tried to save Zhao Jiaojiao many times but to no avail. I heard that he was beaten severely by someone hired by the director's son, and he never dared to pester her again.
Wang Jianying walked past Su Mingli without looking sideways, and then smiled and greeted the teacher who filled out the application form. She had already thought of her three wishes when she was at home, and filled them in quickly after getting the application form.
Su Mingli finished filling in and left first. Wang Jianying and Zheng Jingwen were five or six minutes behind him. But when they reached the school gate, they found Zheng leaning against the door, seemingly waiting for someone.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and it turned out that it was Zhao Jiaojiao who was here.
"Jiaojiao, which school are you going to?" Su Mingli walked a few steps quickly and came to Zhao Jiaojiao.
"What does my ambition have to do with you?" Zhao Jiaojiao was very disdainful. She wanted to have academic qualifications and beauty. It was useless for Su Mingli to kneel down and beg her!
"Do we have to talk like this?" Su Mingli put on a hurt expression. I have to say that a pretty boy is a pretty boy, and he looks better than others when he is sad.
"Please don't pester me anymore." After Zhao Jiaojiao said that, she strode away, her little leather shoes making a squeaking sound.
Wang Jianying shrugged her shoulders and left with Zheng Jingwen. Whether it was Zhao Jiaojiao or Su Mingli, they were just acquaintances to her now, nothing more than that.
The two went to the meat factory to cut half a catty of pork, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy half a catty of candy and two cans of malted milk before returning.
The next day, Wu Hongjun's mother and a matchmaker came to propose marriage. Seeing her forced expression and stiff tone, Liu Yufeng suddenly felt very bad. Her daughter needs to be cultured, good-looking, and has a good personality, so why should she be picked on!
"To be honest, our two families are married, not enemies. If you don't like my Jianying, don't force it. You can go back and forth wherever you want. My daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married!" Liu Yufeng said coldly.
Who do you look down on? From the moment she walked in until now, Wu Hongjun's mother has been stiff and her eyes have not met hers at all. Isn't this because she has something going on in her heart?
"No, third sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I am completely satisfied with Jianying! The Red Army is not young, and it is his blessing to find a girl like Jianying. That is-" Wu Ma glanced at Liu Yufeng and hesitated. I dare not say any more.
"Let me tell you, Mom of the Red Army, although I occasionally go crazy, I never wrongfully accuse innocent people. As long as the Red Army doesn't do anything to disgrace Jianying, I will naturally not mess around."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Wu Ma thought it made sense. Over the years, Liu Yufeng had only gone crazy with people who had offended her, such as Wang Laosan and Widow Zhang. Other times, she was still very kind.
Many girls in the village think she is a good mother-in-law and a good mother. She protects her daughter-in-law and daughter from the bottom of her heart.
Forget it, her son is determined to marry Jianying, what can she do? You can't let your son die alone because of Liu Yufeng.
In the end, the two agreed on the bride price and dowry, and weddings in the village were not that complicated. After the marriage was settled, I went to the county to get the certificate, and when I came back, I set up two banquets and that was it.
After Wu's mother left with the matchmaker, Wang Jianying asked curiously: "Mom, why didn't you ask me why I wanted to marry him?"
"Don't wrong yourself in life. Get married if you like it. Separate if you don't like it. Laugh when you are happy and make trouble when you are angry. The leader said that everyone is equal."
"Mom, you are so kind. I will still be your daughter in the next life."
"Okay, let's continue to be mother and daughter in the next life."
It took a long time for mother and daughter to separate. Zhao Chunhua looked on with envy. She also wanted to be her mother-in-law's daughter in her next life.
The villagers were surprised that Wang Jianying and Wu Hongjun were getting married. I thought Liu Yufeng would marry her daughter to the city, but she didn't expect that she would marry her in the village after going round and round.
In the eyes of the villagers, Wang Jianying was at a loss in this marriage. Not to mention that she was eight years younger than Wu Hongjun, they said that she was going to study in a big city soon...
Gee, I really don’t know what Liu Yufeng thinks?
Jianying sat on the back seat of Wu Hongjun's bicycle. When she met acquaintances on the way out of the village, she greeted them generously. The wedding of the two is scheduled for next week. Wu Hongjun said that he wanted to buy something for her, so they went to the county together.
Zhao Jiaojiao bit her lip in anger when she saw the two people's retreating figures at the end of the village. She couldn't understand why Wu Hongjun was willing to marry the cheating Wang Jianying?
She was obviously much prettier than Wang Jianying. While walking on the road, there were countless men flirting with her with her fingers, but Wu Hongjun alone did not waver.
This is how people are, the less they can get something, the more they want it. Do you want to say that she likes Wu Hongjun? No, she would not feel unwilling if Wu Hongjun married a woman other than Wang Jianying.
"I can help you." At this moment, Wang Jianan suddenly appeared behind Zhao Jiaojiao.
"Why should I believe you?" Zhao Jiaojiao mocked.
"We are the same kind, aren't we? I rely on women and you rely on men. In my heart I call them ugly and stupid, but my hands want to empty out their property."
"That's nonsense, don't compare me with a scum like you!"
"Okay, as long as you're happy."
Wang Jianan shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave, but he was stopped by Zhao Jiaojiao after only taking a few steps. See, they also say they are not the same kind.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Wang Jianying and Wu Hongjun arrived at the county and immediately took the bicycles to be stored. It seems that they have been working in the county for more than two years, and they are almost tired of visiting supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned restaurants, Xinhua Bookstore, department stores and other places.
It was the first time that the two of them went shopping together.
People in the county are brightly dressed, unlike people in the village whose clothes are dusty. The department store displays a dazzling array of merchandise, with cigarettes, candies, oil, salt and other non-staple food items on the first floor, all kinds of fabrics and ready-made clothes on the second floor, and large pieces of furniture on the third floor.
The two bought cigarettes and candies on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor. The clothes on the rack were too expensive. A casual thin coat cost seventy or eighty yuan, and a good one cost more than one hundred. Wang Jianying thought it would be more cost-effective to buy the cloth and make it herself.
"If you like it, buy it." Wu Hongjun realized that she just didn't want to buy it, and hurriedly stopped.
"It's expensive and ugly." Wang Jianying pulled him and whispered.
"I have brought enough money. You will look good in this." Wu Hongjun pointed to the red top and said. Married women wear red clothes these days, which is festive and energetic.
Wang Jianying looked at the price and shook his head in fear.
"You don't have to save money for me."
"Making money is not easy, Comrade Wu Hongjun, please maintain the spirit of hardship and simplicity, and don't lead me astray!"
Wang Jianying bought a red cloth, and she planned to go back and make it herself.
When you go up to the third floor, the first thing you see is a 12-inch black and white TV, which costs more than 400. It was truly a top-notch luxury product. The entire Daan production team did not have one.
Wu Hongjun took Wang Jianying to choose a watch. The most popular one now is the Shanghai brand all-steel watch, which costs 120 yuan. Wu Hongjun didn't hesitate, Wang Jianying took a fancy to him and paid for it.
"I want two." Wang Jianying said suddenly. Wu Hongjun was a little surprised because he only had one ticket.
"Send it to you." Wang Jianying put the men's watch on Wu Hongjun's wrist. After working for so long, she also saved some money and tickets.
Wu Hongjun's eyes were a little moist. In fact, when he first learned about his previous marriage, he made up his mind to stay away from each other. However, people in a village can often hear something even if they avoid it.
For example: she fought with the Zhao family in order to protect female educated youth, or went to work in the county, fell out with the Wang family, and was plotted against at work...
For some reason, he waited for Wang Jianying at the head of the village for the first time that day and asked her if she needed help?
She certainly didn't know that that flamboyant smile in the morning light often flashed through her mind, and sometimes appeared in her dreams.
Every time he thought of that scene, he reminded himself that the other person had cheated on him and betrayed him. It seems that this is the only way to avoid thinking of her too often.
Later, Wang Jian'an came and said that his family needed steel sheets and cement to build a house. He wasn't going to help because that kid was talking about cheating and was not a serious person.
