"Uncle, uncle." Qiao Jiangxin called out to the god Qiao Youfu twice.
"Hey." Qiao Youfu came back to his senses and smiled a little embarrassedly, "What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly."
Qiao Jiangxin felt a little uncomfortable.
My uncle has had few friends in his life, let alone female friends. Everyone said he had a contagious disease and avoided him. Some people even avoided him when they met him on the street.
Over the years, there have been proposals for marriage, but none of them have come to fruition.
There are several reasons.
First, people despised him because he had leprosy. When the girl came to inquire about him, many people said bad things about him, saying that my uncle had an infectious disease and were full of despise.
First, it is difficult to find a wife because the family is unwilling to pay, and it is even more difficult if they don’t even give a normal betrothal gift.
Third, there is a strong stepmother like Lei Hongying in the family, and after marrying into the family, she has to help support her three younger brothers and sisters.
And the widow who died in the second half of last year was the only one who was willing to live with my uncle in all these years.
She even took the initiative to come to my uncle, so my uncle must like her.
"I said I'll go buy some meat and fish, and you go get some wine, and then we'll meet at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative."
Qiao Youfu nodded, "Okay."
Qiao Jiangxin didn't say anything else. She remembered that in her previous life, the widow didn't find a suitable family so quickly.
The first is that the dowry she asked for is still relatively high for today's rural areas, and she specifically left the money to her first son and did not take it back to the man's home.
At that time, even for the first marriage of Huang Xi's eldest daughter, the bride price was mostly dozens of yuan. Even Li Xiaoping's bride price was only one hundred yuan.
First, the widow was not willing to marry just anyone. She was selective about who she married.
"Uncle, are you thinking about Aunt Qin?" Qiao Jiangxin couldn't help but asked.
Qiao Youfu's face turned red. "Don't talk nonsense. It's not good for her reputation. There are already a lot of gossips around the widow, and she is still thinking about her son. If there are more rumors, it will be even more difficult."
Qiao Jiang thought, "Uncle, now that we have separated and built a house, you can decide on your own about your marriage. Let's send someone to Xujiadong to ask tomorrow.
Maybe you and Aunt Qin are destined to be together. ”
Qiao Youfu was a little tempted, but quickly shook his head, "It's been almost a year, maybe she's already married.
Moreover, she came to me last year and told me that I could get in by paying her 100 yuan first and that she would owe me the other 100 yuan. But I couldn't pay her even then and I was too embarrassed to see her.
At that time, she seemed to be in a hurry for money, as if someone in her family was sick. ”
Qiao Youfu felt very upset, "She was standing at the entrance of the village waiting for me. I went back to find your grandpa and grandma, and she waited for me for more than two hours in the cold wind in the twelfth month of winter.
I still haven't gotten the money from your grandfather. I still remember the look in her eyes when I went to tell her about it. ”
Qiao Youfu recalled the scene at that time. Qin Xue was stamping her feet in the cold wind waiting for him. When she saw him coming, she came up to him with eyes full of expectation. But when she heard him say that his family couldn't afford it, her eyes dimmed quickly.
He told Qin Xue at the time that his family couldn't afford the money, saying that their family was in financial difficulty and that the third child had just gotten married and had saved a lot of money. He was eager to explain to her and make her understand him.
