Chapter 139 Village Guard
Zhou Er went crazy about this matter, which reminded Shen Jiale of the village guard in Yaoshui Village in his previous life.
There are three major surnames in Yaoshui Village, namely Zhou, Lu, and Chen.
The village guard is a villager with the surname Chen.
Shen Jiale didn't even know his full name, but heard the villagers call him Erwa.
Erwa has a cheerful personality and is warm-hearted. He takes the initiative to help with weddings and funerals in the village, just like a normal person.
But he often says: "Wait until I get married and give you wedding candy."
I heard from the villagers that Erwa was learning a craft from someone in the town and had a date. The girl's family only had one child, and Erwa had three brothers, so they asked him to marry into the girl's family.
Erwa's parents thought that it was a very shameful thing for their son to marry into the family, so they did not agree to the marriage.
Later, the girl married someone else. When Erwa found out, he locked himself in the room for three days.
When he came out again, he talked to his family with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
His family thought he had figured it out and started introducing him to other girls.
Until he said to the matchmaker, "I have a partner and will have a wedding soon. I will give you wedding candy when I get married."
His family realized that something was wrong with him and said that the girl was married, so he should not think about her anymore.
Erwa smashed things on the spot, and his family was so scared that they dared not mention it again.
The next day, Erwa returned to his original state, still smiling when he saw people, polite and sensible, and took the initiative to work.
Later, his family asked the villagers not to mention his previous partner in front of Erwa.
Erwa often helped the villagers, so everyone had a good impression of him and didn't want to poke at his sorrow. He lived immersed in the joy of his upcoming marriage.
Until 10 years later, Erwa couldn't find his parents and asked his eldest brother where they were.
His eldest brother said, "My parents died two years ago. Don't you remember?"
Erwa was in a trance for a moment and murmured, "It turns out that my parents are dead."
Then he went to the village grocery store and paid back all the money he owed.
After the debt was settled, Erwa bought a bottle of wine and a bottle of sleeping pills.
The next day, his eldest brother saw that his younger brother was late to get up, and no one answered the door. After breaking into the house,
he saw Erwa wearing clean clothes, with his hands crossed on his chest, holding a photo of a girl in his hand, lying quietly on the bed.
After checking her breath, she was dead.
Zhou Er's current symptoms are that he would go around holding a blanket and telling people that he had a wife and a child in a big city.
If someone asked him the names of his wife and child, he would beat them. This was very similar to Erwa's situation in his previous life.
Shen Jiale couldn't remember when Erwa had mental problems.
In her previous life, she went to the mountain to collect firewood. It rained when she was going down the mountain. She fell at the foot of the mountain and sprained her ankle. It was Erwa who sent her home.
Shen Jiale said she wanted to give Erwa something to thank him, but Jiang Haoran said that Erwa was crazy about women and would not let Shen Jiale go.
Later, she learned about Erwa's situation from the villagers' conversation.
Shen Jiale couldn't understand why a young man who seemed to be full of energy and helpful became what people called a mental patient.
In this life, Shen Jiale has never heard that anyone in the village has gone crazy. She doesn't know whether the villagers don't want to talk about it or Erwa hasn't suffered emotional trauma yet.
Shen Jiale asked Lu Mingfeng: "What's the current situation of Erwa in the village?"
"He's not at home often. Have you seen him?"
Shen Jiale shook her head: "No, I heard about him out of curiosity."
"He learned a craft in the town and now has a salary."
"That's good. Does he have a partner?"
"I haven't heard about it."
...
The chickens raised by the villagers have started to lay eggs.
Every day, the villagers send eggs to the biscuit factory, and the village scorekeeper records the number. The factory will also pay the village on the same day.
The village chief said that the money would eventually be used for village construction, and the remaining money would be distributed to the villagers at the end of the year.
Raising chickens does not require villagers to spend money to buy them, and the excess eggs belong to themselves. Few people think it is unreasonable.
The very few people who are dissatisfied will also be criticized.
Just because they cannot buy and sell privately.
...
The biscuit factory is going to open a new production line, and Xu Jin came to plan the production process with Shen Jiale.
Villagers came to deliver eggs one after another.
I only heard the scorer Xiao Zhou say: "Erwa, the number of eggs you delivered is 10. Remember your father's name. You press your fingerprint here to confirm the number."
Shen Jiale heard it and turned to look at the people queuing to collect eggs.
It was the Erwa who had helped him in his previous life.
Shen Jiale walked over and asked, "I haven't seen you before, but I heard that you work in town."
The deputy director of the biscuit factory was talking to him, and Erwa nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Where do you work?"
"As a chef in a state-owned hotel."
"It's a good job. Can I come out to work during my rest time?"
"If Deputy Director Shen needs to hold a banquet, just ask my father to find me. I can also take leave and come back even if I don't have a rest time." "
Okay, wait until I give birth to the baby, and ask you to help with the full-month banquet."
Liang Qiaoli came over and said, "Erwa, can you come back for my eldest grandson's full-month banquet?"
Erwa asked the date, and it happened to be his rest day, so he agreed to come back to help.
After asking Liang Qiaoli about the banquet she was going to prepare, Erwa said happily before leaving: "I will give you wedding candy when I get married."
Shen Jiale's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
He said to Erwa: "If your relationship encounters obstacles, you can try your best to fight for it. If you can't fight for it, you should let it go and don't get too entangled.
People can't only like one person in their life. If two people break up, it means they are not meant for each other.
Even after getting married, you may get divorced or lose your spouse. If you really can't let go, you are not destined to be together in this life. Do more good deeds so that you can continue the destiny in the next life."
Erwa scratched his hair and looked at Shen Jiale in confusion: "Deputy Director Shen, I don't understand what you mean."
Shen Jiale was thinking about how to kindly comfort Erwa without exposing the other party's scars.
"You are good-looking and have a decent job. You are the ideal marriage partner for many girls. Don't be too obsessed."
Erwa still didn't understand what Shen Jiale meant, and said: "I haven't encountered the situation you said. The wedding date between me and my partner is set after the summer harvest. I will invite you to my house for a drink then. "
Uh...
if this is true, it would be so embarrassing.
Shen Jiale looked at Liang Qiaoli, trying to find the answer from the expression on her face.
Liang Qiaoli said to Erwa, "Your parents have already come to talk to you, and we will definitely go when the time comes."
Shen Jiale asked puzzledly, "Where is your partner from? How many brothers and sisters does he have?"
"In town, she's the only daughter in the family."
"Then where will your wedding be held?"
"In Yaoshui Village, but after the wedding we will live in my father-in-law's house, which is convenient for taking care of them, and we will go back to Yaoshui Village for rest."
Shen Jiale didn't expect that Erwa would end up like this in his life. In addition to being puzzled, he was more happy for Erwa.
"Your parents are very open-minded. "
Erwa smiled and said, "At first, my parents asked my girlfriend to live in Yaoshui Village, but they changed their minds after considering the situation of my girlfriend's family."
As long as the tragedy of the previous life is not repeated, it will be fine.
Erwa returned home and wrote down the number of eggs he had delivered today in his mother's little notebook.
Erwa's mother looked at her handsome son and thought of Tuesday.
Tuesday's madness made her dare not force her son, and finally came up with a compromise.
That is, her son's wedding will be held in Yaoshui Village, and they will pay the bride price to marry their daughter-in-law home. After the marriage, they can live wherever they want. In this way, others will not say that their son is a bribe.
She will not blame herself for breaking up her son's marriage.
