Chapter 71 I can't accept her marrying a farmer
Early the next morning, the second sister-in-law couldn't wait to find the fourth brother and his wife. Han Jianwu had already filled two water tanks with water and was making breakfast, while Huo Qingqing was still sleeping in with her two children in her arms. Fortunately, she was wearing a sweater and trousers, otherwise she would not be able to face people.
The second sister-in-law said with a smile, "You are so lucky! For women like us, if we can have a man serve us for even one day in our lives, our lives will not be lived in vain. Alas, it's really frustrating to compare ourselves with others!"
Huo Qingqing exclaimed, "Someone needs to look after the kid, right? There's no work to do in the team right now! I was the only one doing the housework when he was busy with farming."
The second sister-in-law curled her lips, "You are good enough, and you have the nerve to say that you do all the housework? Oh, forget it, it's a willing fight and a willing beating, I can't envy you enough!"
Huo Qingqing, "Didn't you and second brother talk about it on your own?"
The second sister-in-law blushed, "That's called talking? It means that your second brother still asked the matchmaker hired by the old man and the old lady to come to propose marriage. The procedure is the same as arranged marriage."
Huo Qingqing, "That's better than a blind marriage, right? Has Second Brother never done housework?"
Second sister-in-law, "Don't mention him. My blood pressure goes up when I mention him. Apart from reading a few more books, what's the difference between him and those rough guys in Hanjiagou? He still acts like a boss at home and won't even help when the door stick falls."
While the two were talking, Huo Qingqing had already washed the two babies, applied vanishing cream on them, dressed them neatly, and stuffed a bottle into each of them after rinsing their mouths. "After you finish your milk, you can eat later, okay?"
Niu'er was wearing a bunny hat, and looked as pretty as a child from a New Year picture. She blinked her big eyes and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to eat bananas."
Huo Qingqing, "Eat fruit after dinner."
The people here can only eat a few apples and rice balls distributed by the team all year round. They can't afford bananas or anything like that.
The second sister-in-law kissed Niu'er with adoration, "How could your mother give birth to two such beautiful children like you?"
Niu'er wiped her uncle's face and said, "My brother and I were born by our mother!"
“Hahaha~”
The second sister-in-law sighed again, "With such a cute, smart and good-looking child, it's worth it for the fourth child to do more work. But it still has to be the fourth child. With a stinky man like your second brother, he would be so stupid no matter how good the child is."
Han Jianwu said, "Second sister-in-law, did you come to my house early in the morning just to complain about my second brother?"
Second sister-in-law, "Of course not. I came to tell you two that we discussed it last night and I think it's okay, but your second brother kept whining and didn't say yes or no. Isn't it annoying? I'm really fed up with his hesitant nature.
By the way, Baojuan seems to be quite satisfied with that boy. ”
Han Jianwu, "Have you told Baojuan?"
Second sister-in-law, "It's such a small place, but she heard us talking, so she pulled her sister into the room and listened attentively. After listening, she smiled and didn't refute. Is she satisfied?"
Huo Qingqing, "She must have fallen for Jiang Zian."
Han Jianwu, "First find a matchmaker to ask that guy. I asked him about getting married, and he said he didn't have the money to get married right now, so he'll talk about it in a few years. I guess no matchmaker has proposed marriage to him, and the people in Team 3 say he's poor, has a bad family background, and doesn't have confidence!"
The second sister-in-law sighed, "But he is just poor!"
Huo Qingqing, "Second sister-in-law, people are always changing. It's hard to say. How old is he? He's in his twenties, which is a good time to make a living. From the fact that he followed Jianwu to learn how to drive a tractor and helped out in the store, we can tell that he is a smart person.
How poor can he be? As long as he has a house to live in, that’s enough! It's not like I want the girl to marry into a cold and thatched house. They are also working hard to make money. If my brother becomes a soldier and becomes successful, then the bad days will come! ”
Second sister-in-law, "I understand what you said, but you can't understand your second brother and I's thoughts. Baojuan picked more of you and finally married the poorest boy with the worst family background in Hanjiagou. Wouldn't those busybodies laugh at us to death? We can't get over it for the sake of face. This is the truth."
Huo Qingqing said, "I understand. You guys take your time to think about it! We are just making suggestions. After all, the person involved doesn't know about this yet, and the matter hasn't even started yet! Besides, getting married is a girl's lifelong matter, so it's only right that she considers it carefully."
After the second sister-in-law left, Huo Qingqing said to Han Jianwu, "Let's end this matter here! The rest depends on what the second sister-in-law's family thinks. We can't get involved anymore."
Han Jianwu hummed and said, "This is indeed the best we can do. My second brother and his wife are very open-minded people. They must have considered it more than we have. Besides, I have never asked Zi'an's opinion on this matter."
Huo Qingqing's second brother Huo Qingyu arrived on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Huo Qingyu's arrival caused quite a stir in Hanjiagou, because Huo Qingyu was so handsome, very tall, with skin that was not that dark, but not too white either. He also came in a military uniform, and the whole village was watching.
These days, Second Brother Huo carries the two kids on his shoulders wherever he goes. The kids and their uncle quickly became friends and had a lot of fun.
That day, Han Jianwu went out on a business trip to deliver goods for the team, and the siblings chatted at home.
"Second brother, what do mom and eldest brother think of Han Jianwu?" Huo Qingqing asked.
Huo Qingyu said, "My mother said he was a good young man with great potential, but it was a pity that he was born in the wrong place. My eldest brother said he was a responsible man."
Huo Qingqing, "That's it."
Huo Qingyu shook his head, "You are still so heartless. Everything is fine, but have you considered the future?"
Huo Qingqing, "Next year, the college entrance examination will be resumed. I will take it! Then I can return to the city with a legitimate reason!"
Huo Qingyu, "What about Han Jianwu and the two kids? Don't you know that farmers are not allowed to enter the city?"
Huo Qingqing, "I know, but who can guarantee that farmers will not be allowed to enter the city?"
Brother Huo, "What if?"
Huo Qingqing, "Then I will go back to Beishan County to work after I graduate from university, right?"
Huo Qingyu shook his head, "You think too simply."
Huo Qingqing, "Don't say anything, I know what's going on!"
The day before the second brother left, he said to Huo Qingqing and Han Jianwu, "Everything is fine at home now. Mom and Dad's affairs have been resolved. Qingqing, do you want to bring the baby home to live for a while?"
Huo Qingqing said, "Forget it. The journey is long and it's not convenient to take the children on the train. Let's wait until the children are older!"
So far, only the father of the Huo family has not met Han Jianwu and the two children have not been to Hanjiagou. Huo Qingqing understands the love of her parents and brothers for her, but she can also imagine their true feelings, especially her mother. She felt sorry for her daughter marrying a farmer and having a child, which completely tied her to the countryside, but she was also afraid that relatives and friends would know that her daughter married a farmer and had a child. In fact, city people at that time really couldn't accept their daughter marrying a farmer. When daughters of most families go to the countryside to work, their biggest worry is that their daughters will be abused by the farmers. What's more, what kind of family is the Huo family now? The father, Huo Zheng, is one of the most important figures in the military region, the mother is the leader of the provincial health system and a professor at the Medical University, and the daughter marries a farmer. Who can accept such a gap?
In her previous life, Huo Qingqing never told her family about such a big thing from beginning to end because she had this concern.
