Chapter 386 The Lion Speaks 2
Of course Wang Zhengguo knew why Wang Zhengjun came to ask for food. It was because his family didn’t have enough food!
For urban residents who have jobs, food ration standards vary depending on their type of work, with a minimum of 25 kilograms and a maximum of 45 kilograms. Only miners have the 45-kilogram standard. Unemployed adults only have 21 kilograms, and children have 8 kilograms, calculated on a monthly basis.
Wang Zhengjun has a job, and his son was also assigned a job after graduation, but his wife Liu Jinhua does not.
Wang Zhengjun came to the city to work after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He stood out in the recruitment because he was educated and could read.
Before this, he married a wife and had a child in his hometown. The betrothal gifts were all paid by Wang Zhengguo, and the wedding was also organized by Wang Zhengguo. To put it bluntly, he was just a mud-legged peasant, and he hasn't washed the mud off his legs yet.
Their parents were just ordinary old tenant farmers, with no money and no skills. If it weren't for the Lu family's care, they would not have been able to raise seven children. Later, they relied on Wang Zhengguo and two daughters who had worked as servants in the Lu family for several years to live a well-fed and well-clothed life. They did not have the ability to preside over their children's weddings, could not afford the betrothal gifts and dowry, and could not act like elders.
The parents are incompetent, and the eldest brother is like a father. So doesn't it mean that the marriage of his younger brothers and sisters should fall on Wang Zhengguo and be his responsibility?
Among them, the marriages of the two sisters Fengmei and Fengying were not chosen by Wang Zhengguo, but by his parents. Because of this, Wang Zhengguo took charge of the marriages of his other brothers and sisters.
He said at the time that the two families were not suitable, but his parents did not listen. They thought that the family that came to propose to Fengmei was a wealthy cadre family in the city, and Fengmei would enjoy a happy life if she married into that family, like she would become a phoenix on the tree. Meanwhile, Fengying's father-in-law was a good friend of Wang's father and had verbally promised his children marriage. Otherwise, based on Feng's father, she would never have become Wang Zhengguo's candidate for sister-in-law.
Wang Zhengguo is very responsible, and his eldest sister-in-law Miao Fengqin has no objection. She has a good impression of her second and third brothers. Her sister-in-law Fengqiao has really helped a lot since she came into the family. She is not the kind of cunning and weird person, and marrying well will benefit her family rather than harm it.
Wang Fengqiao and her second and third brothers always listen to their eldest brother and are kind, honest and grateful.
So, under Wang Zhengguo's arrangement, the two brothers married Lu's maids, and Wang Fengqiao married a childhood sweetheart in the village. Now they live a very comfortable life.
It’s different for Wang Zhengjun, who is arrogant and looks down on others.
Different from his three brothers who obeyed their parents' orders and matchmakers' words, the ambitious Wang Zhengjun was unwilling to marry the maid of Lu family. He believed that he was no inferior to the Lu family members, and his soul was as noble as the Lu family members, so he was unwilling to be inferior to others. He also refused to accept the harm of arranged marriage and wanted to fall in love freely and then enter into the palace of marriage.
Wang Zhengguo knew that a forced marriage would not be happy, so he did not force his youngest brother to live according to his own arrangements. He simply let go of the marriage issue until Liu Jinhua came back and told him that he wanted to marry her.
Liu Jinhua is from the Red Star Production Brigade next door.
Two production brigades, oh, at that time they were not production brigades, but villages.
One is Wanglou Village and the other is Liujia Village.
The two villages are very close to each other, separated by a large piece of land that belongs to the Lu family of Wanglou Village. It only takes about twenty minutes to walk along the road from Wanglou Village to Liujia Village.
Liu Jinhua is truly worthy of her name. She is a golden flower in Liujia Village. She is very beautiful and is an example of a girl who is sought after by hundreds of families.
Her fame is no less than that of the Wang family's daughters, which shows how beautiful she is.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
