For the next whole day, Anjia didn't stop.
The villagers came to persuade An Yongfu's parents, telling them not to be too sad or too anxious. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is always a solution to everything.
There are several other young men, all of whom grew up with An Yongfu, who are also staying with him in the room, as if they are afraid that he will lose his mind and do something stupid.
In fact, Xiang Nan's mood was very calm, and he didn't have anything to think about at all.
Because he knew in his heart that the splash would come tomorrow.
…
The next day, early in the morning, the security forces took the villagers on the road again.
"Even if we kidnap people today, we still have to kidnap them." Before leaving, he encouraged everyone, "Otherwise, our children in Kushui Village will not be able to get a wife in the future."
"Yes, that's the truth!"
"Don't make a bad start!"
The villagers responded positively.
Living in the mountains and coming from a poor family, it is inherently difficult to find a wife. If we continue to condone people like Li Laoshuan who regret their marriage, it will be more difficult for their children to marry in the future.
So, no matter what, this trend cannot last long!
At that moment, the villagers of Kushui Village set out on the road boldly and confidently!
After the security forces and others set out on the road, An Yongfu's parents, as well as the young and old who stayed behind in the village, have been worried.
In fact, they are not bad people. They are just ordinary people who dare not cause trouble, don't want to cause trouble, and just want to live peacefully.
However, things have reached this point, and we have to do something. The poorer the people, the less power they have to choose.
…
At noon, the villagers of Kushui Village came back happily.
Also coming back together was Li Shuihua, Li Laoshuan's daughter and An Yongfu's unmarried wife.
"Okay, okay, the bride is finally here!"
"Oh, this bride is so handsome~"
"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, can you eat soup bowls today? Well, I went with the meal yesterday, but I didn't get anything~"
The villagers talked a lot.
When An Yongfu's parents saw the bride arriving, their expressions suddenly turned gloomy, and they quickly greeted the villagers warmly.
The stove was reheated, the banquet was served again, and the whole yard was filled with a happy air.
Only the bride, Li Shuihua, had a solemn face and no smile at all.
…
The wedding was resumed.
Secretary An presided over the ceremony, first bowed to heaven and earth, second bowed to parents, and the husband and wife bowed to each other. After bowing, they were sent to the room.
The banquet has been set up in the room, and each person has a bowl of stew, also known as [soup bowl], which contains radish, tofu, vermicelli, and meatballs, and is eaten with white flour steamed buns.
This meal is already a rare delicacy for mountain people who eat potatoes all year round and feel nauseated after eating them.
"Are you hungry? Eat quickly." After Li Shuihua took her seat, the aunt who was accompanying her warmly greeted her.
Li Shuihua shook her head silently.
"Hey, we're a family after we pass the door, so you're welcome. Come on, let's eat!"
"Yes, we are all a family, why are you so polite!"
"Eat quickly, this soup bowl is very beautiful~"
Everyone tried to persuade her, but Li Shuihua still refused to eat.
Xiang Nan knew what she was thinking.
She felt aggrieved for marrying An Yongfu.
Therefore, no matter how good the wedding banquet is, she cannot eat it.
"Eat some at least. If you're hungry, you'll be the one who suffers." Xiang Nan broke a white-flour bun in half and put half into Li Shuihua's hand.
Li Shuihua hesitated for a moment, then ate silently.
She ran away from home in the early hours of yesterday morning. Until now, for two days and one night, she had not touched her teeth. She fainted just now. In fact, I was hungry in my stomach, but I just didn’t want to eat in my heart.
When everyone saw that she was willing to eat, they all breathed a sigh of relief and started talking and laughing.
…
After the wedding, most of the villagers left.
There were only a few brats left who didn't want to leave and wanted to stay and have wedding ceremonies.
As a result, Xiang Nan used his grasping hand to push them all out of the door.
After driving away these brats, Xiang Nan poured a bowl of water for Li Shuihua.
It is worth mentioning that there are no wells in Kushui Village. To drink water, villagers either walk seven or eight miles up the mountain to fetch water from wells at the foot of the mountain. Or dig a water cellar at home to store rainwater.
The so-called water cellar is actually a deep pit dug in the ground to store rainwater.
Because there is no cement for hardening, the cellar is full of muddy water, and even leaves, branches, firewood, and feces may be mixed in. Therefore, there are many impurities, and it tastes like earth.
Even so, not every household has a water cellar. Because it takes a lot of work to dig a cellar, not every family can afford it.
When the An Yongfu family went on a blind date, they lied to Li Laoshuan that they had two water cellars at home, but in fact they didn't have one. We still have to go down the mountain to fetch drinking water every day, which is very troublesome.
"Drink some water first." Xiang Nan smiled and said to Li Shuihua, "Today's soup bowl is a bit salty, you must be a little thirsty."
"Put it there." Seeing him approaching, Li Shuihua hurriedly hid, still very wary.
Xiang Nan nodded, put down the water, and sat on the wooden pier, "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a bad person. I also know that you feel aggrieved when you marry E.
I heard people say that your grades in school were very good back then. If your old man didn't favor boys over girls, you would definitely be admitted to a technical secondary school. When the time comes, you will be assigned a job and go to the city to eat public food. "
Hearing what he said, Li Shuihua recalled the sad past and couldn't help but get wet eyes.
When she was in junior high school, her grades were really good. If her father hadn't favored boys over girls, she could have been admitted to a technical secondary school, given a job, and become a city dweller. How could one sell a donkey and two sheep?
"Actually, when I was in school, I could study better." Xiang Nan sighed, "If my family hadn't been too poor, I would have been admitted to a technical secondary school long ago."
Li Shuihua glanced at him, a little doubtful.
"If you don't believe it, I'll recite the "Leader's Guide" to you. I'm still remembering it now." Xiang Nan smiled, ""Leader's Guide": The late emperor's business was not halfway through, but the middle road collapsed. Today's three points, Yizhou Fatigue, this is the time when our sincerity’s survival is in danger..."
Li Shuihua initially saw that Xiang Nan's appearance was not impressive, and she looked down upon him. However, I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I saw him reciting "The Master's Guide" with cadence, sonority and force, and seemed to be word for word.
She knew that An Yongfu was twenty-one years old, three years older than her, and had graduated from junior high school several years ago. It's really rare to be able to remember the text so well.
It can be seen that when he first went to school, he was really a good student.
In this case, her impression of An Yongfu suddenly became much better.
"Well, I remember it quite clearly." After Xiang Nan finished reciting it, he smiled and asked Li Shui about flower cultivation.
Li Shuihua nodded. She had almost forgotten this "Lecture Notes", but she didn't expect Xiang Nan to remember it so clearly.
"Actually, when I was in school, my compositions were not bad, and they were often read aloud as model essays." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I had a dream since I was a child. I wanted to be a writer. What was your dream when you were a child?"
Li Shuihua's face darkened and she shook her head, "What's the use of talking about it now."
"You still have to have a dream, just in case it comes true." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
