When Liu Xiu heard this, he was happy.
She had a struggle with her son, and she also had a struggle psychologically.
I finally convinced myself to accept Chen Xiaohong willingly, only to find that I still had to get through Chen Xiaohong.
When Liu Xiu heard Zhang Cuihua's words, he became a little excited.
No matter what, she did her best for this brat.
Liu Xiu said: "Aunt, I feel relieved when you say this.
I will talk to my son Qiangzi about this when I get home, and let Xiaohong talk to him herself."
Zhang Cuihua said: "I also want my daughter to marry a good man.
I have made up my mind that if I can't find the right person, I don't plan to let her get married.
But if it's Qiangzi, I'm happy."
After the two women in their 60s started talking to each other for a while, Liu Xiu suddenly felt that her previous mentality was wrong.
What era are we in now? Just like what my wife said, why should we care about what happens after we die? As adults, we cannot replace our children in taking the path they want to take.
After Liu Xiu finished speaking, she hurried home. She came out of the Chen family's yard and saw Chen Xiaohong running towards her with a red face and a book in her arms. The two of them stopped in their tracks.
Chen Xiaohong was also surprised. Why was Liu Xiu here?
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Xiaohong, are you going to the brigade to borrow books again?"
Chen Xiaohong's face turned even redder than before. She lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes, auntie."
"You are a studious child. Come to my house when you have time. I will leave now."
"Yes, auntie."
Chen Xiaohong touched her cheek and it was burning hot.
As soon as she entered, Zhang Cuihua called Chen Xiaohong to her room.
Zhang Cuihua asked, "Red, why is your face so red?"
Chen Xiaohong felt guilty, lowered her head, and whispered, "It's too cold outside, I'm freezing."
Zhang Cuihua said: "Wear a headscarf next time you go out, be careful not to catch a cold.
Come and sit next to me, I have something to tell you."
Chen Xiaohong sat obediently beside Zhang Cuihua, who held her frozen hand.
"Hong, tell me the truth, if someone introduces you to someone else, do you still want to get married?"
Chen Xiaohong felt nervous. She knew that these two kids were causing a lot of trouble to the family.
My mother seldom asked herself this question, but she suddenly asked, could it be related to Aunt Liu?
"Mom, I haven't thought about it yet."
Zhang Cuihua patted the back of her hand and said seriously, "Hong, this time, you can think about it.
Your Aunt Liu came just now, she came to propose marriage to you."
"Guess who the other person is?"
Chen Xiaohong's mind was in a mess. On the one hand, she thought about what Zhang Qiang said, and on the other hand, Aunt Liu came to her house to propose marriage.
She is a divorcee. It's impossible that Aunt Liu is here in person to propose marriage on behalf of her son, right?
"Mom, I don't know."
Zhang Cuihua said: "It's for Qiangzi.
Hong, I'm happy to hear that. Your Aunt Liu said that Qiang Ziyi hasn't gotten married yet because he's waiting for you.
I am also a mother, and I think that when a mother is forced to come to your house to propose marriage, Qiangzi's feelings for you are real.
Hong, think about it.
Qiangzi is not a bad person. Since we have good choices, why should we choose a bad one?
It is unrealistic for you to remain single for your whole life.
Hong, Mom thinks Qiangzi is sincere to you, please think about it carefully."
"But……"
But she couldn't get pregnant and was divorced.
Sometimes, she even hates herself.
Zhang Cuihua knew what her daughter was worried about, and she said, "I don't know much, but if a man can accept your past and wait for you for a few more days, it means that he has you in his heart.
Girl, remember, it is better to marry someone who treats you well than to marry someone who wants you to be good to him.
People who are good to you will always be good to you.
Qiangzi is a good young man, Mom hopes you can think it over carefully and give yourself a chance."
Chen Xiaohong was silent.
On this day, Chen Xiaohong's heart was completely confused.
The dinner was also extremely salty.
After dinner, Chen Liye again spoke well of Zhang Qiang to Chen Xiaohong.
That evening when Zhang Qiang was having dinner at home, Liu Xiu told Zhang Qiang what happened in the afternoon.
Zhang Qiang said: "Thank you, Mom."
Liu Xiu choked up and said, "Why are you thanking me? For you, I have lost my dignity.
The rest is up to you.
Qiangzi, you are my child. No matter whether I tried to stop you in the past or support you now, I hope you can live a good life in the future.
It’s up to you to decide what to do next.”
Zhang Defu didn't say much.
After that day, the knot in Zhang Qiang's heart was finally untied.
At night, Chen Xiaohong lay in bed, her mind filled with what Zhang Qiang and her mother had said.
The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and felt empty inside.
That kind of desolation and loneliness was unprecedented.
The bed was warm, but she still felt cold.
Later, when she was alone, she also wanted to have someone to lean on and hug.
Chen Xiaohong fell into a deep sleep.
So is Zhang Qiang.
He was wondering what he should do so that she could let go of the past.
That day, Chen Xiaohong went to the wheat field in the afternoon with a basket on her back to pick wheat straw.
When they were halfway through the conversation, Zhang Qiang suddenly appeared behind her, and Chen Xiaohong was almost scared to death.
Chen Xiaohong covered the place where her heart was beating wildly, and her eyes were full of panic.
Zhang Qiang stood tall in front of her and opened his palm, which contained a roasted sweet potato.
Zhang Qiang said: "I roasted it in the brigade yard, it's still hot.
Here you go, I'll help you pull it."
Chen Xiaohong said: "I'm not hungry."
"Try it, it's a new variety, I heard it's very sweet, I can't bear to eat it."
Chen Xiaohong hesitated for a moment before slowly taking it.
Zhang Qiang smiled innocently, took the backpack from her hand, and said, "Let me pull it.
By the way, I have two more bars of chocolate here, which I brought from the city for a meeting a few days ago."
Zhang Qiang took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket and handed them to Chen Xiaohong.
In a trance, Chen Xiaohong choked up a little.
Zhang Qiang said: "All of them are for you."
Seeing that Chen Xiaohong was unmoved, he grabbed her hand and slapped the chocolate on her palm.
At that moment, the warmth from the touch of their fingers warmed Chen Xiaohong's heart like lightning.
Chen Xiaohong felt her heart beating faster and faster. She didn't dare look at him and just lowered her head.
Zhang Qiang just smiled and said, "Consider me. As long as you are willing to be my wife, you won't have to do this kind of work in the future. I will definitely rush to do it."
Chen Xiaohong's face turned even redder.
Zhang Qiang laughed and said, "Why are you blushing again?"
Chen Xiaohong was furious and muttered in a low voice: "If you say anything else, I'll leave now."
Zhang Qiang was in a good mood: "I'll follow you wherever you go.
I'll carry it for you."
Chen Xiaohong was about to refuse, but when she looked up she met Zhang Qiang's smiling eyes.
Zhang Qiang said, "Don't say you're afraid of others gossiping about me.
Xiaohong, I'm not afraid.
Don't be afraid, we are aboveboard."
