Chapter 59 Tong Shiyu wants to marry Ma Siqing but doesn't dare to confess
"Siqing, don't cry! When you cry, I feel distressed and I don't know what to do."
Tong Shiyu saw Ma Siqing shed tears and his heart was in a knot.
"Brother Shiyu, don't chase me away, I have money." Ma Siqi felt that she couldn't hide it anymore, otherwise this fool might do something.
"Didn't you say that your adoptive mother took all the money?" Tong Shiyu is a straightforward person.
"Brother Shiyu, I'm not afraid to tell you that I got divorced and asked my ex-husband for money, house, and bills." Ma Siqi glanced at Tong Shiyu to see how he would react.
Tong Shiyu raised his thumb to praise Ma Siqing.
"Siqing, do you still remember that one summer morning six years ago, you gave half a cake to a passerby at the entrance of an alley in Danjiang?"
Ma Siqing raised her eyes. Tong Shiyu's thought jump was too big.
Aren't they talking about money? Shouldn't he ask himself why he could get so much money?
What does it have to do with cakes?
"Cakes? What cakes?" Ma Siqing tried to search her memory.
"Six years ago, at the entrance of a small alley, there was a hungry man. What do you think, do you remember it?"
Ma Siqing shook her head.
She has shared a lot of things with passersby who need it more than her!
"Brother Shiyu, I have shared cakes with many people, and they seem to need it more than me." Ma Siqing said proudly.
"Well, you are such a good girl."
Tong Shiyu thought about it and decided to talk about it later.
"Brother Shiyu, let me tell you the truth. This time I am being pursued not only by the Yao family but also by Dong Dashan, the director of the Revolutionary Committee of Danjiang. I guess he will also take action."
Ma Siqing brought the topic back to why she was rich, which she was about to talk about.
"Dong Dashan? I have dealt with this man several times. He is ruthless. How did you get involved with him?"
Ma Siqing covered up the story of Yao Guozhu and Bai Xiuzhi's affair.
Tong Shiyu felt that his brain was not working. What had this girl been through? This was too tragic.
So this is how she got divorced.
That man is really a piece of shit.
Dong Dashan, Tong Shiyu is not afraid of him.
Now he is the head of the regiment, on the same level as Dong Dashan, and Dong Dashan dare not touch him.
Not to mention that he has military merits.
Tong Shiyu thought, if he married Ma Siqing, would he be able to protect her?
But how should he ask for it?
Forget it, don't think about it for now, the most important thing is to solve the problem of eating.
"Siqing, you stay at home, I'll go out and come back at the latest in the evening, you cook and wait for me at home, bolt the door, and don't open the door to anyone who comes."
"What if the neighbors come to get water?" Ma Siqing was puzzled.
"Don't worry, they can't get water here, they will go somewhere else. If it's dark, you lie down first and don't turn on the light." Tong Shiyu gave instructions and went out again.
Chen Xiaowei from the neighboring village was in the same company as him, and Tong Shiyu went to his house to borrow money.
Tong Shiyu stayed at Chen Xiaowei's house for a while, and chopped firewood with him for an afternoon, leaving it for Chen Xiaowei's mother to burn during the winter.
Chen Xiaowei lent Tong Shiyu 20 yuan, and Tong Shiyu said he would pay him back next month when he got his salary.
When the two were chopping wood, Chen Xiaowei whispered to Tong Shiyu: "There's an educated youth coming to your village. My god, she's prettier than that fairy."
"Shiyu, I heard that the educated youth came to your village after getting divorced. Do you have any idea, huh?"
"No idea, you just know she must be an educated youth? What if she's the wife of someone in high places hiding here, would you dare to mess with her?"
Chen Xiaowei: "I asked around, she's an educated youth from Beijing, she originally went to work in a department store in Danjiang, but later I don't know what happened, she quit her job."
"From Danjiang?" Tong Shiyu became alert.
"She's not from Danjiang. The person who arranged her is the director of the Yi City Civil Affairs Bureau." Chen Xiaowei whispered in Tong Shiyu's ear.
"Who is the director of the Yi City Civil Affairs Bureau now?"
"A newcomer named Yao Guozhu."
Chen Xiaowei said Yao Guozhu's name while chopping wood vigorously.
"Who do you mean? His surname is Yao?"
Tong Shiyu was upset when he heard this.
"Yes, his surname is Yao. This Yao guy has a strong background! During the time we came back to visit relatives, he was promoted twice."
"From the director of the street office to the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, and now he is the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Yi City."
Chen Xiaowei found that there was no sound next to him, and when he looked, Tong Shiyu had already walked away.
"Shiyu, why are you walking so fast?" Chen Xiaowei asked loudly.
"I have to go home now. I have some things to do at home. I will come to help you another day. Thank you for the twenty yuan."
Tong Shiyu rode Ma Siqing's 28-inch bicycle and bought ten eggs at Aunt Wang's house when he returned to the village.
Seeing that the vegetables in Aunt Wang's yard were growing well, he asked Aunt Wang if she could sell some to him because there were no more vegetables at home.
Aunt Wang pulled out a cabbage and put it into Tong Shiyu's pocket without charging any money.
Tong Shiyu thanked her repeatedly.
"Be generous to the girl and don't let her down. Hurry up and ask her what she thinks. If she likes you, I will match you up." Before leaving, Aunt Wang held Tong Shiyu and said earnestly.
"Auntie, I, I feel I am not worthy of her."
"Nonsense, you are in the army, supported by the country, although she is young, she should also know that you have a bright future."
"Besides, you two look very well matched. Auntie went to see you this morning, standing together, oh, you two are so handsome, like a landscape."
"Auntie, then I will go back and ask Siqing what she thinks."
Tong Shiyu touched his head innocently.
"Such a beautiful girl, diligent, quick and nimble, hurry up and make her yours, otherwise the people who want to marry her will probably line up from our village to the neighboring village."
"Well, I'll go back and tell her. Auntie, if she agrees, you have to help me be the matchmaker."
"Don't worry, if you get married, Auntie, I can also ask for a glass of wedding wine. Thank you for taking care of me all these years, so that I don't starve to death or freeze to death."
Every year when Tong Shiyu went home to visit his relatives, he bought eggs from Auntie Wang, and he also bought vegetables here when he needed them.
Tong Dabao and Sanbao were afraid that Tong Shiyu would go to their house for dinner and make their food tight, so they let Tong Shiyu cook at home.
But Tong Shiyu only came back for more than 20 days a year, and he had to buy everything for his own cooking.
Finally, Tong Shiyu thought that his brothers had already started their own families, and it was not appropriate for him to go to their homes for dinner, so he just bought some eggs and vegetables in the village, and occasionally went to the town to buy some meat to cope with the days of home visits.
But now there is Ma Siqing, who is also Tong Shiyu's benefactor.
Tong Shiyu didn't want her to be wronged.
So he went to ask Chen Xiaowei to borrow money and buy eggs from Aunt Wang.
After leaving Aunt Wang's house, Tong Shiyu rode his bicycle to the village chief's house to ask about the new educated youth, and it was exactly the same as Chen Xiaowei said. Tong
Shiyu returned home when it was getting dark.
He took out the vegetables and eggs and prepared to cook.
Ma Siqing took over the work in Tong Shiyu's hands again.
Today she stayed in the house obediently and did not go out.
The strange thing is that no one has ever been to their house.
Tong Shiyu had dinner. Ma Siqing made fried noodles with fragrant fried eggs. It was really delicious. Ma Siqing's cooking skills were excellent.
After dinner, Tong Shiyu cleaned up the dishes and Ma Siqing tidied the kitchen.
"Siqing, Yao Guozhu arranged for an educated youth to come to our village."
