Chen Xiaohong smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "Mom and Dad, you're back."
Zhang Cuihua acted as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "You're back. Thanks to you being at home, your father and I have food to eat every day when we come home. We are so blessed."
Zhang Cuihua tried her best to act happy every day when she came back, and her words were full of encouragement and praise for Chen Xiaohong.
Chen Xiaohong prepared some water for them to wash their faces and placed it under the eaves. She squatted beside them and stared at the old couple with a sweet smile.
Zhang Cuihua saw her smiling so happily every day and said, "Why do you smile so happily every day?
Is there something good? "
"Mom, my eldest brother sent a telegram saying that my second brother will be getting married on May 8th, and asked us to prepare in advance."
Zhang Cuihua paused: "What?"
The old couple didn't react for a moment.
this……
Is this too fast?
Chen Kaifang said: "Hey, how come your second brother's incident happened so quickly this time?
Is there anything else in the telegram?"
"Dad, sending a telegram is too expensive, so my eldest brother only sent a few words."
Zhang Cuihua said: "Your elder brother said May 8th, so it must be May 8th.
Then we have to prepare in advance.
I took some time these two days to prepare some things for my child's room.
"The second brother and his wife can arrange Baoguo's room and let Liye move his things to the storage room, okay?"
Chen Kaifang said: "This is the only way."
There are only a few houses in their family, and once the eldest and second sons get married, the third son really has to live in the storage room.
The third child is still young, let’s talk about it when he gets married.
For now, let’s make this arrangement.
Chen Kaifang said: "Oh my, it's finally your turn. There is something happy happening in our family.
On the eighth day of the fifth month, right after the second son’s wedding, it was time to harvest the wheat.”
Zhang Cuihua also smiled and said, "Yes, it's finally our turn for a happy event to happen."
Chen Xiaohong rolled out the cornmeal sheets, put them into the pot and boiled them, then took them out.
The three of them sat at the dinner table, and Zhang Cuihua was already planning what to buy.
Zhang Cuihua said, "We have to prepare a new quilt for the second child. Tomorrow you can ask Zhang Qiang when the village tractor will go to the city in the next two days. Then Xiaohong and I will follow the tractor to the city to buy some cotton and cloth."
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."
Mentioning Zhang Qiang, Chen Xiaohong thought of the conversation she had with Zhang Qiang at noon. A trace of sadness flashed through her eyes, but soon returned to normal.
That night, Zhang Qiang and Chen Dazhuang made an appointment to go to the wheat field to be on duty.
Wild boars begin to proliferate in this season, and we are worried that rapeseed and wheat will be destroyed by them.
Zhang Qiang thought of an idea. He bought four or five flashlights and tied them to the ground at both ends. When the wind blew, the branches moved and the flashlights swayed with the wind, so the wild boars dared not come.
Zhang Qiang was also thinking about giving it a try, and he didn't expect it to be quite effective, though it consumed a lot of battery.
The two men were lying in a makeshift straw hut. Chen Dazhuang was lying in a haystack with a piece of dry grass in the corner of his mouth and his hands as a pillow.
Zhang Qiang also put his hands on the pillow and sighed from time to time.
Chen Dazhuang couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Why do you keep sighing?"
"Nothing, just annoying."
"What the hell is wrong with you? I heard from my mom that Chen Xiaohong came to work in the fields to earn some money, and you yelled at her?"
fierce?
Is he fierce?
"I wasn't mean, I just felt a little worried because her leg hadn't recovered yet, so I let her go back first.
I'm really not vicious."
"She's in a bad mood. Next time you see her, be careful with your tone and don't scare her."
Zhang Qiang sighed again and didn't say anything else.
Maybe his words did sound a bit like a reprimand.
But he really didn't mean anything else.
Chen Dazhuang tilted his head to look at Zhang Qiang and said seriously, "You are not bad in our village. These aunts have often asked matchmakers to introduce you to potential partners, but I have never seen you fall in love with anyone.
It’s time for you to think about your future.”
"You should take care of yourself first."
"Me? I'm a handsome guy, so why am I afraid that no one will marry me?"
Chen Dazhuang was shaking his legs, and he looked very confident, as if there were many girls around him.
Zhang Qiang’s mind was filled with images of Chen Xiaohong’s past.
Chen Dazhuang glanced at him and said, "We grew up together, don't I know what you are thinking?
You've missed it once, do you want to miss it again this time?"
Zhang Qiang's eyes paused and his heart tightened. These words hit his heart like a hammer.
Chen Dazhuang turned over as if nothing had happened, pulled over a piece of clothing and covered himself with it, and said, "I'm going to sleep first. Remember to call me if there's any noise in the middle of the night."
Later, Chen Dazhuang's deafening snoring was heard in the straw hut. Zhang Qiang couldn't sleep, so he came out and sat outside the straw hut.
Under the starry moonlight overhead, in my ears I could hear the sound of green wheat waves being blown by the wind.
He looked at the big, round moon above his head, as if he was looking at Chen Xiaohong's face.
Time flies by so fast...
The next morning, when villagers started to come to the fields one after another, the two men came out of the tent.
Chen Kaifang found Zhang Qiang and told him to go to work.
Is this kid Baoguo getting married?
Chen Dazhuang was also surprised to hear the news.
This kid's marriage was finally successful.
Chen Dazhuang was so excited that he was looking forward to seeing how beautiful the boy's wife would be.
Soon, the news that Chen Baoguo was going to get married spread throughout the village.
When Tian Xiaoyun's family heard this, Tian's mother gritted her teeth in anger.
She muttered, "Bah, the whole family is worthless. Even if I marry her, she won't be a good thing. She hurt my daughter so badly. How can their family live better?"
Tian Yu frowned, afraid that these words would be heard by others.
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "How dare you say that?
Your daughter has ended up like this, is it because others are protecting the country and harming the country?
I'd better say this less in front of outsiders in the future. I don't want to be laughed at, nor do I want to be scolded.
If your own child is not good enough, don’t blame other people’s children.”
Ever since Tian Xiaoyun got married secretly, Tian's mother has had a hard time at home. Tian Xiaoyun, who had no status at home before, has now gained status. She scolds Tian Xiaoyun whenever she is in a bad mood. When her daughter is not at home, Tian's mother dares not open her mouth to resist Tian Xiaoyun.
Xu Daqiang and Tian Li, the couple, also gritted their teeth secretly.
How could God be so blind that he allowed Chen Baoguo's marriage to go through?
Tian Li thought, that woman is from another place, when she comes to the village and knows that Chen Baoguo has been sent to labor camp, she will see if she will still follow him.
If this thing goes wrong sometime, it would be really great.
At the same time, Chen Baoguo and Feng Jun went to the south.
Chen Baoguo calculated the time and this trip to the south took them a week.
It took them four or five days to set off, but they encountered heavy rain along the way. A landslide blocked the road in one place, so they had to take another detour, which delayed them for some time.
