I was originally worried that as the girl's family, it would be inappropriate for me to go to their house.
Unexpectedly, the Jiang family came to him on their own initiative. There was no reason for Old Man Li to disagree.
"No need to eat. I won't hide anything from you. You know what happened with Lotus before. I thought if the two children are interested, they should go to the commune together to get the certificate tomorrow to avoid any trouble later. What do you think?"
Old man Li didn't want to delay any longer. If he waited a few more days, he might not be sure whether this son-in-law would still be his.
It is better to strike first. By then, it will be too late for the girl from the Wang family to do anything.
Country people don't have the habit of getting a marriage certificate, so Jiang's father had never thought about this.
But since you really want to get married, it would be safer to get a marriage certificate, and he has no objection.
"Uncle Li, I have no objection to getting the marriage certificate, but we haven't prepared anything yet, so how can it be so simple?"
Although there is no need to make too many compromises when getting married nowadays, I still make a jacket for my daughter-in-law and buy her a two-foot red hairband.
Those who were in worse conditions would also carry bags of grain as a betrothal gift.
Old man Li doesn't care about these things, but he doesn't want his granddaughter to be wronged.
After thinking for a while, he said, “Well, let’s get the certificate first and then make up for it later.
Hehua didn't have her parents to prepare a dowry for her, but we old couple and our children will not let her down.
And the house left by the third brother is now under my name and is also given to Hehua.
Your two sons will definitely separate in the future, so you can save them the trouble of rebuilding their house and spending more money. You should give them more money when the time comes."
Father Jiang didn't expect that the Li family would be so willing to do so.
He never thought about the house left by his good brother.
Although Lotus has no other brothers or sisters, because she is a girl, no one thought that she would inherit the house left by her father.
Father Jiang is not a greedy man. He will really take what others say he will take.
"Uncle Li, our family doesn't want to marry Hehua for these reasons..."
Before Father Jiang could finish his words, Old Man Li interrupted him: "I know, but this should have been a lotus.
Her father only has her as his daughter, so who else would he give her to?
If Hehua married outside and couldn't take the house with her, I wouldn't mention it, but since she married in our production team, which is not far from your home, I naturally have to give it to Hehua.
Don't worry, I have already made up my mind about this matter. No matter who says it, it's useless. You don't have to worry about those two people in my family.
I am not dead yet, who dares to cross me?"
Seeing that Old Man Li had made up his mind, Father Jiang said nothing more.
"Okay, then Uncle Li, when will I let my kid come to see you tomorrow?"
Old Man Li thought about what he had to do tomorrow and said, "Let's go find him tomorrow. There's no rush. I'll take Hehua with me to move her household registration back home first."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
When Jiang's father saw the man leave, he hurried back home.
The Jiang family did not have many people. Jiang's father had only two sons. Jiang's mother was in her thirties when she became pregnant with her third child. She was working in the fields when she was eight months pregnant.
With a big belly, he was walking in the mud to pick seedlings. The ground was full of water and his feet were sucked in wherever he stepped on it.
So you have to be careful with every step you take.
Jiang Mu accidentally fell when she was turning around, and fell on her stomach.
A midwife can deliver a simple baby, but such a serious fall is beyond the ability of a midwife alone to handle.
One corpse, two lives lost. From then on, Jiang Weizhuo and his elder brother lost their mother.
Fortunately, they were already teenagers at that time and no longer had to ask their mother for help with everything like they did when they were children.
Grandma Jiang also helps with the housework.
Jiang's father didn't want to find another one.
Even if the stepmother is really good, the children she gives birth to later will gradually drive the two sons apart.
There are many examples of this kind of thing around us. Jiang's father and mother are childhood sweethearts, and he doesn't want to let his wife and children down.
So even after Grandma Jiang urged him, he never gave in.
In this way, Father Jiang lived a rough life with his two sons. It was not until the eldest son got married and there was a woman to take care of the family that things gradually got better.
When Father Jiang got home, he saw his second son holding an axe and trying to chop wood.
He walked up to Jiang Weizhou and slapped him on the back of the head.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Weizhou was a little confused. What had he done? Why did he hit someone?
"While there's still time, go to the commune and buy some things. Buy them according to the marriage proposal standards. Whatever you can get will be good.
Grandpa Lotus just told me that you and Lotus should go get the certificate tomorrow, and we can prepare the rest later.
But we can't really prepare nothing. If it really doesn't work, we can buy some cakes and wine and send them to the Li family first. It can be regarded as our token of our appreciation. The rest can be done later.
I'll get you the money, go quickly."
Father Jiang went back to the house and took out some money from his own small treasury. Without saying a word, he drove the man out of the yard, turned around, locked the door, and ran back to the field to continue working.
Before Jiang Weizhou could react, the person was already standing outside the yard.
It seemed like it just now that I realized that I could marry Hehua tomorrow?
Jiang Weizhou ran away excitedly. He wanted to buy the things and send them to Li's house before dark.
As for why Jiang Weizhuo likes lotus, it is actually very simple.
When Lotus was born, he was already three or four years old and could remember things, so he naturally knew what it meant when the adults arranged a marriage for them.
After Lotus left, he would often take the opportunity to play with his friends to secretly look at Lotus.
I have watched her grow from a little girl to the graceful young lady she is today.
He knew from a young age that Hehua was his young wife, so he often secretly helped her with work.
Secretly throw the wild vegetables you dug into her basket.
Put the picked branches in Lotus's firewood pile.
Lotus was also wondering why there were so many branches after just picking them up in a short time. She just thought she was too busy to remember them.
Just like that, secretly watching and paying attention, the two of them grew up.
In Jiang Weizhou's heart, Hehua should naturally be his daughter-in-law.
Maybe it’s not love, but it must be a liking from the heart and a willingness to get married, and that’s enough.
Hehua naturally didn't know what was happening in the Jiang family.
She helps her grandmother tend to the vegetable garden at home.
The beans are densely grown on the bean rack.
Green beans grow very fast. If they were ripe yesterday, they may be old the next day, so they must be picked in time.
If the vegetables grown in the countryside cannot be eaten up, they are usually dried and kept for consumption in the winter.
The weather is cold in winter, and only radishes and cabbages can be preserved, while other vegetables cannot be preserved.
Lotus picked the long beans, washed them, boiled them in a pot of water, and then hung them outside to dry.
The dried beans are delicious when stewed with meat or bones.
"Let's eat the loofah first. There's too much. We can make scrambled eggs with loofah tonight.
We have five chickens at home, and we can collect eggs every day."
