Someone in the team asked, "Uncle Qin, is Qin Zheng getting married?"
"Yes, it's the sixteenth day of the second lunar month, and there's still a month left."
"Will you go to the capital to attend the wedding?"
"No, no. Why waste that money? I can just wait for Qin Zheng to have a wedding banquet in the capital and bring his girlfriend back to meet us. I'm not in good health to begin with, and I can't sit on a train for a whole day and a night." With that, Qin Tianhua left the team.
As soon as Qin Zheng hung up the phone, Xie Heng came over.
"I'm done, here you go." As he said that, he handed the phone to Xie Heng, who had been standing behind him for who knows how long.
In the brigade, after Qin Tianhua left, Xie Dazhu did not start making phone calls.
"Captain, didn't you say you were going to call your third son? Why haven't you called yet?"
Xie Dazhu's face looked a little grim. "Don't worry, the third brother is training now, wait a minute."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
"Hello, this is the Jixiang Brigade in Heilongjiang Province. Xie Heng, looking for your father. He's in our brigade. Wait a minute, I'll call him for you."
"Captain, your third child."
Xie Dazhu answered the phone, "Third Brother, have you and Yumei's marriage been finalized?"
"Dad, it's decided. It's the tenth day of the second lunar month."
"Okay, then when we get married, Dad and your eldest brother will go to the capital to meet the in-laws."
After saying this, Xie Dazhu, unaware of Xie Heng's expression on the other end of the phone, continued, "Third brother, it's our family's turn to visit the girl's family. But we live so far away that we haven't had the time. Talk to your partner's family and tell them we'll wait until you get married before visiting. Don't let them think we don't value them."
Xie Heng cleared his throat, thinking of something to say as he refused: "Dad, although you are strong, you still can't sit still on the train for a whole day and a night. Besides, when I get married, it's almost time to plant seeds, so I can't leave home. After I get married with Yumei, I can take her back with me."
Xie Heng didn't hear Xie Dazhu's voice, "Dad, are you listening?"
"Dad, if you don't want to, then we can just hold another wedding banquet in our hometown after Yumei and I return."
Xie Dazhu came back to his senses and slowly said, "Third brother, are you unhappy in the army?"
This was the only reason Xie Dazhu could think of. Apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other.
"Dad, it's okay. I'm almost done with my training, and I'll have to be reassigned. It's a bit of a headache, that's all. Dad, Yumei's family wants a 1,000 yuan dowry. I've been sending most of my monthly salary back home these past few years. Do you have any money left? If you do, please give me some. I can't touch the money I have, as it'll be needed next year."
Xie Dazhu nodded and said, "Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing. I'll tell my family when I get back."
"Okay, Dad, then take care of yourself and think about sending me money when you go back."
After Xie Dazhu finished the call, he left without looking back.
The people in the team were confused. "Captain, what's wrong? He was fine just now. Why did he change his expression so suddenly?"
"Why else? Because he's his son."
"Ah? His son is getting married soon, why would he be angry?"
"Alas, I can't explain it to you even if I tell you, just go and do your thing."
In the field, after Qin Tianhua came back, Qin Hongyi kept asking Qin Zheng what he had said. Qin Tianhua had no choice but to tell him the date of Qin Zheng's wedding.
"Dad, my second brother is getting married next month. Really? That's great. When will they be back after the wedding?"
"Your second brother didn't tell me this, but he said he would come back when he got his vacation."
"Okay, when the time comes, let my second brother write back in advance, and we will clean up the house for him and his wife."
"Oh, okay."
The aunts working nearby naturally heard it as well and kept saying good things about it.
"You've finally made it. When your second daughter-in-law comes home and gives birth to grandchildren for your Qin family, your Qin family's life will be completely better."
"Are you going to the capital to attend your second son's wedding?"
Qin Tianhua shook his head. "No. I'm not in good health, and Hongyi is the only one taking care of me on the road. I'm worried. The second brother said they will come back after they get married."
"Okay, congratulations!"
Xie Dazhu stood aside, looking at the people surrounding Qin Tianhua, his temper flaring. "What are you talking about? Don't you want to work anymore? Don't you want work points? You want to go carry manure?"
Everyone quickly picked up their food and separated. Some whispered to each other, "Captain, what's going on? Who messed with him?"
"Who knows? Hurry up and work. If your work points are really deducted, you won't be able to get them back."
That night, Liu Pan'er looked at Xie Dazhu, who was sitting on the bed, smoking silently. "Dad, what's wrong with you? You look so gloomy every time you get home from work, you barely eat a few bites, and now you won't sleep. Who offended you?"
Xie Dazhu said irritably, "Go to sleep, it's none of your business."
"Dad, please say something!"
"It's all because of the third brother."
"Third brother? What happened to the third brother?"
"The second son of the Qin family called today, so I thought I'd call the third son too to ask him who from our family would be attending the wedding. Who would have thought he'd say no one should come? After the wedding, he brought his partner back to introduce us. To put it bluntly, he's just disliked us for embarrassing him and doesn't want us to go."
Liu Pan'er quickly shook her head. "Impossible! If the Third Brother really despised us, he wouldn't have sent us money. Father, are you mistaken? What about the Qin family? Are you going to the Qin family?"
