Chapter 2 Arranged Marriage (2/2)



Her voice became louder and louder, and her tone became more and more excited. The four children outside were trembling with fear.

Brother Xiao is a taciturn person who usually only works in the fields. He always listens to his wife and naturally would not object.

Principal Laoshuan and Cui Lifen tried to persuade their daughter-in-law for a long time, but they were afraid that their eldest daughter-in-law might have a miscarriage, so they finally had to harden their hearts and agree to the marriage.

At the same time, he received his graduation certificate and was planning to sign up with his classmates to go to the Great Northern Wilderness to support the construction of the motherland's black soil.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got home, she was scolded by her parents.

Her parents wanted her to go on a blind date and get married, and also to adopt her brother's two children under her name.

Of course the girl disagreed. How ugly must the man be to accept such a "great humiliation" as being a daughter-in-law in a rural area?

She fought for a long time, but her parents, brother and sister-in-law stood on the same front, crying and making a fuss, using soft and hard tactics.

After all, Qianqiu was a thin-skinned girl. She couldn't bring herself to go to town and make a scene. Within a month, she broke down and compromised.

As soon as the girl agreed, the matchmaker brought the boy's intention.

The man agreed to marry into the family and adopt the child, and he hoped that his family would be able to take proper care of his elderly parents.

So, their marriage was settled.

Today, three months later, when Jiahua, the new generation school principal, read these, I can only say thank God that my child stayed!

Isn’t it better to live in the countryside with food and drink and parents taking care of me than to go to other places?

Although Qinghe Village is also a rural area, Xiao Jiahua knows that many years later, policies will change and suburban villages will develop.

This place will be dependent on the neighboring imperial capital and will be designated as a new urban district that everyone aspires to.

Things have come to this point, so let's make the best of it. In addition, Xiao Jiahua has become much more tolerant of this marriage that was caused by a combination of coincidences.

She couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person is her husband?

Their marriage certificate was placed on the bedside table in the room.

There was no photo on the marriage certificate, only the husband’s name: Bai Keyan.

Xiao Jiahua thought about it for a while, and the impression that came to his mind was "clean and innocent, cautious and taciturn".

The name really suits the person.

She vaguely remembered that they only met once in the county town.

She kept her head down the whole time, unwilling to look at the man's face.

She only remembered that the man was wearing a green military uniform and had a thin and tall figure.

After registering their marriage, they took their only photo together, and then the man boarded the train to join the army.

In rural areas, a son-in-law does not need to pay a bride price.

Bai Keyan still gave all his money and tickets to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He only asked to take a photo with Qie, saying that he was going to the army to file a report.

On the platform, the matchmaker asked the couple to talk to each other alone, and she deliberately turned her head away and didn't look at him.

Regarding this marriage, they both read four words from each other's eyes: she (he) doesn't want to.

They were silent all the way.

When the train was about to start, Bai Keyan took out a brand new military water bottle from his bag and handed it to her with a red face.

"It's new," he explained awkwardly. "You can use it yourself or sell it."

"Home, then..."

Because she never looked at him, he did not say the four words "please".

Later, the military kettle ended up in the hands of the colonel's sister-in-law. After being sold, it was exchanged for food coupons that were used to thank the matchmaker.

.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiahua decisively packed up his things and decided to visit his father-in-law.

She was holding the bowl and had just stepped out of the door when she was held back by the naughty child.

"Mom, don't rush!" Xiao Dabao stood nervously at the door.

Panic is contagious, and Little Stone also fluttered and tried to jump off the chair.

The naughty kid was shaking and dropping golden beans, but Xiao Jiahua was laughing in his heart.

Not to mention that she was a newcomer, even her husband lived in the school and she had only been a foster mother for three months, so there was no way she had a deep mother-son relationship.

Xiao Jiahua knew very well that Xiao Dabao was very smart, and that he was so attached to her only out of awe and obedience to his "backer", and it was by no means love for his mother.

What the children fear is not that she leaves, but that she abandons them.

In those poor years, many people died of famine and disease. It was better to have a foster mother to take care of you than to be alone and helpless.

What's more, this adoptive mother is the most weak-tempered and soft-hearted sister-in-law in the family.

Xiao Jiahua also didn't want to judge two children whose average age was less than a year old from an outsider's perspective.

The past was like a light extinguished, and the grudges from the previous life should be written off, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

The betrayal was too cruel, and she couldn't trust the people around her, at least not now.

Staying deadlocked wasn't a solution, Xiao Jiahua spoke slowly.

"First, I don't have any luggage with me. I'm going to the compound, not running away from home. Second, it's not safe for Xiao Shitou to go out at night. You must stay and take care of him. Third, if you understand, get out of the way."

Xiao Dabao widened his eyes.

For the first time, he felt that his aunt seemed like a different person.

The most obvious thing is that now when he looks into her eyes, he can never last more than three seconds, because he is so scared that he wants to cry.

The sympathy card and the cuteness card are all ineffective.

He asked persistently, "Mom, you really won't go to Northeast China to be an educated youth?"

"...No, I'm free?"

She looked at him, her meaning very clear.

Xiao Dabao burst into laughter and opened the gate with a squeak. "Mom, go and see Grandpa in the labor shed. He's not a bad guy. I'll take good care of Shitou."

Xiao Laoshuan is slightly older than Bai Xuxu. In order to distinguish the two grandfathers, Xiao Dabao calls him that in private.

Xiao Jiahua was surprised: "You know that?"

"Well, the grandfather in the labor shed taught me how to write."

When my aunt got married, her friends all laughed at her for having a bad grandfather.

Xiao Dabao was so angry that he secretly ran to the courtyard and threw stones.

The old man was hit on the leg. After asking the reason, the master not only criticized him but also taught him how to write his own name.

Before his death, the old man picked some fruit from the tree and gave it to him to eat.

"So, they are actually good people." Xiao Dabao vowed.

"You're just smart."

Xiao Jiahua knocked on his forehead and said, "Be good and wait for me to come."
