Chapter 7 Marriage
"Oh, not only did she quickly sit on the back seat of the oil worker's car, she really harmed my Guozhu." It was my aunt He Chuner who came with a crying voice.
Pointing at Chen Lina, she said, "Guozhu sent another telegram saying that he regretted it and wanted to come back to see you. He will lose his job if he leaves his post without permission. Lina, if Guozhu loses his job, I will not forgive you."
The educated youth whistled again, "Hey, what is this called, stepping on two boats with one foot."
You know, it was Nie Guozhu who made the mistake. He was the one who broke up first, then regretted it and wanted to come back to get back together. What does this have to do with Chen Lina?
Chen Lina was pretending to be dumb. Seeing more and more people gathered around, she was too embarrassed to speak up for justice.
The young educated youth had always wanted to pursue Chen Lina, but Chen Lina was too picky and looked down on him. So she immediately started to make a fuss and scold him.
He Chun'er cried even harder, with such a loud voice that it seemed as if she could attract all the people from several villages to come over.
Just when Chen Lina was thinking that her marriage with the man was going to encounter twists and turns again, she didn't expect the man to speak.
"Is it Nie Guozhu from our Nie Family Manor? Auntie, I have to tell you that Chen Lina and I met through an introduction, and it was a voluntary agreement on both sides.
Besides, they are already engaged, and once they are engaged, they will not regret it. So, Comrade Nie Guozhu, you should still advise him to return to the army as soon as possible. After all, although it is a peaceful period now, the Sino-Soviet border is tense, and it is not the time for a soldier to leave his post. "
"My Guozhu is a good person, it's all because of Chen Lina. Engineer Nie, you probably don't know that her family background is very bad, and she is a bad element." He Chun'er was so shameless. You have to know that Chen Lina is still her little niece.
"I don't know what a good element is and what a bad element is. I only know that she is a simple, positive and active young person." Nie Bozhao stood by the river. He was tall, with strong eyebrows and resolute eyes. Every word he spoke was neither humble nor arrogant, and his pronunciation was clear and loud.
He Chuner added, "Nowadays, people are more concerned about one's background. Her sister asked someone to cancel the engagement and sent her back to her parents' home. Boss Nie, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Before Nie Bozhao could say anything, Chen Lina was so angry that she could no longer pretend.
"Since Auntie said that we should talk about class background now, I have something to ask you. Since our family is a bad element, why did you eat so much rice and use so much oil from our family? If you eat the food of bad elements, what are you?"
"I, didn't I pay it back?"
"Oh, my family gave you a 50-jin bag of Fuqiang flour, and you gave us 2 jin of 85 flour. Is that also called repayment? My mother gave me half a pound of New Year's pig, and you gave me 2 jin of meat. Is that also called repayment? Why do I feel that you are worse than the bad guys?"
"That's right. We often see He Lan'er crossing the bridge and bringing gifts to He Chun'er's house, but we never see He Chun'er giving anything to He Lan'er. Can they be called sisters?" a woman said softly.
"Oh, sisters also need to be kind-hearted. He Chun'er, you are very kind-hearted." Another woman also whispered.
Everyone started talking about He Chun'er and her sister.
"Comrade Xiao Chen, since our marriage has been decided, I will never regret it. You get ready, I will come to marry you tomorrow morning." Nie Bozhao's voice was particularly clear and loud. His purpose was to let everyone present know that he had decided to marry this wife.
As he spoke, he walked through the crowd and took Chen Lina to her door. He took a pair of shoes from the back seat and handed them to Chen Lina, saying, "These are shoes for the kids. Take them home and bring them back tomorrow morning. The kids will be more willing to accept you. After all, they still think you are looking for a nanny."
Letting her marry in with shoes, which are what the children need most, will increase the children's liking for her.
Among men, he is considered to be a rare thoughtful person.
Chen Lina waved her hands and said, "No, take these shoes back and put them on the children. Since we are married, they are my children. I know how to treat them."
Nie Bozhao thought about the cracks on the three children's feet and stopped refusing. He took the shoes and was about to leave. But at this moment, Chen Lina called him again.
"Comrade Lao Nie, I have something else to confess to you." A blush appeared on her fair little face, an extremely intoxicating color, and her eyes were dull, making her look extremely adorable.
…
How to say it?
Chen Lina married Nie Bozhao in her previous life, but it was her second marriage, and both of them were second-time lovers, so of course neither of them would dislike the other. However, she still remembered that she did not bleed during her first nights with Nie Guozhu in her previous life.
Normally, a young girl should have her period on the first night, but she didn't.
Of course Chen Lina is innocent, as innocent as can be. Apart from Nie Guozhu, she has never even held hands with any other man, so how could she not be innocent?
But why didn’t it turn red?
He Chun'er and Nie Guozhu questioned Chen Lina and her parents, who were all racking their brains, and they came up with only one reason: she was naughty when she was a child.
This is her first marriage in her life, so of course she has to explain this matter to Nie Bozhao in advance.
"I heard that Comrade Lao Nie had never lived in the countryside. I have something to tell you. In fact, I was naughty when I was a child and loved to climb trees. My hymen might have been... My father told my cousin about this, but he thought it was ridiculous and impossible. He always thought that I had engaged in promiscuous relationships, so he was very determined to cancel the marriage.
He is uneducated. Comrade Lao Nie, you are an educated and cultured person. You should believe this, right? "
Nie Bozhao, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a straight brown woolen coat, was supporting his bicycle with one long leg and was really stunned.
The man walked over with a look of shock on his face, and there was some ferocity in his eyes, which scared Chen Lina so much that she took two steps back.
Why does she feel that she shouldn't bring this up at this time?
Would he think that she had had sex with her cousin Nie Guozhu, which is why the membrane is gone? After all, wasn't my aunt making trouble just now?
"Comrade Xiao Chen, first of all, I believe what you said. But you must never say such things again.
…
"You are still a little girl. If a second person hears this and spreads it everywhere, it will damage your reputation."
He looked serious and said, "Go in quickly. Remember to get up early tomorrow."
Having said that, the serious man got on his 28-inch bicycle, turned around and left.
Chen Lina covered her lips and smiled. See, this man is completely different from Nie Guozhu. Otherwise, why would she only be willing to marry him and not Nie Guozhu?
The next morning, Nie Bozhao, his mother, and Nie Laoer personally crossed the river to Chenjiahe Village to pick them up.
"My dear girl, the Nie family is getting married without even killing a single pig, and without even holding a wedding banquet. Are you really going to get married?" When Chen's mother saw that only Nie's mother, the eldest Nie and the second Nie came to pick up the bride, her heart sank.
"What if we don't get married? Look, the bride is here to pick me up. Mom, I'm leaving now." Chen Lina wrapped the big gray scarf around her head and ran out of the house.
When he got to Chen's father, he was stopped.
"Bo Zhao, although modern weddings nowadays emphasize simplicity, your wedding was a little too simple," said Chen's father.
The dowry for the third child was three washbasins stacked together, and Nie Laoer carried them all by himself.
"Uncle, I am in a hurry to report back to my unit, so I cannot arrange the marriage. But don't worry, as long as Comrade Chen Lina is willing to follow me, I promise to Marx, Lenin, and the leaders that I will treat her well for the rest of my life."
Just as he turned his head to look, the second daughter of the Chen family's mouth twitched again.
She didn't dress up today, still wearing the same army green dress from yesterday, with a red leader badge on her chest, but her face was really pretty. No, it should be said that she was pretty, with particularly pretty features. But when she twitched her mouth, she looked silly again.
Well, if she hadn’t been hit so hard that she was stupid, she probably wouldn’t have married me.
"Dad, he will treat me well." Chen Lina lifted her father's sleeves. "Okay, stop talking and go back. I will write to you when we get to the border."
"If he wants to hit you or scold you, tell Dad immediately. I will help you deal with him even if I have to take a train to the border." Father Chen said this deliberately in front of the entire Nie family.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. When the time is right, I will invite you to visit my relatives in the border areas. If Comrade Chen is really dissatisfied with something, I will definitely apologize and ask you to punish me until Comrade Chen is satisfied."
Nie Bozhao's words were very elegant, which immediately made Father Chen laugh. "Okay, why bother to apologize? Just treat her better and I'll be relieved."
Mother Chen held her husband's hand and watched her heartless daughter leave. Then she thought that she had just married and now she was going to run away to the end of the world. She felt so sad that she couldn't help but turn her face away.
When we arrived at Nie's house, we saw three children standing at the door in a well-behaved manner. Nie's mother gave them a unified command: "Call mom."
The three children were reluctant, except Nie Weimin, Erdan and Sandan also shouted loudly, "Mom".
As for Nie Weimin, he held his mouth tightly and his face turned blue with anger.
He probably felt like he was being fooled. He was clearly looking for a nanny, but how come she became his mother the moment they met?
You know, he is the only one among the three children who remembers his mother. If he really calls her "Mom" now, wouldn't it be a betrayal to his own mother?
So, he originally liked this aunt who helped him fight, but the moment he saw that she became his stepmother, he immediately disliked her.
Chen Lina looked down and saw that each of the three children had a new pair of shoes, and the sizes seemed to be just right. She had to say that she had a really good taste.
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Chen, these three pairs of shoes fit perfectly." Nie Bozhao said at the right time.
Chen Lina raised her eyebrows. The man was tall and had a serious face. Hmm, what did he look like? He looked like a middle-aged man who was also an old cadre.
