Chun Xing smiled shyly and said softly, "Chun Sheng told me everything. The matchmaker told him on the day of the blind date. He said I didn't know he had a limp, and that it would be best if he didn't stand up after seeing me.
He didn't want to deceive others, fearing that he would be exposed and the marriage would not be successful, so he planned to tell the truth when the time came.
At this point, Chun Xing's face turned red unconsciously, "He said that he fell in love with me the first time he saw me, and he also said that the matchmaker really didn't lie to him, and I really am the most beautiful girl in Qingshan Brigade.
He suddenly felt inferior, and after chatting with me for a while, he wanted to tell me the truth, but my mother kept winking at him, and before he could stand up, she pulled me away.
Shi Aihong asked doubtfully, "Chun Xing, didn't you meet once before? Why didn't he tell you the truth then? The matchmaker even lied to you and said he had sprained his foot."
Chun Xing sighed, "That morning, his mother told him early in the morning that you are 26 years old this year, and other people's children are old enough to help with cooking.
My family all knows that he has a lame leg, and this is not considered a lie. I told him not to tell me about his lame leg. If he dares to tell me, the marriage will be ruined and his mother will die in front of him.
He said that he actually had his own selfish motives. He had met several girls from far away before, but none of them worked out because he told them that he had a lame leg.
When he saw me this time, he was attracted to me and didn't want to ruin the marriage, so he cooperated with my mother and others and didn't tell me the truth.
Chun Xing said this and glanced at Chu Jingqiu, "Chu Zhiqing, didn't you ask me to find out about his character? I even went to their village and the factory where he worked to inquire about him.
Everyone says Chunsheng is a smart and capable person, willing to endure hardships, doesn't drink or smoke. Within a few days of joining the food factory, he learned how to repair machines. He also went out to do business and brought in many orders for the food factory. Now Chunsheng has even become a minor official in the food factory!
Chu Jingqiu nodded, "Chun Xing, Chunsheng was able to sacrifice himself to save the little girl from the frightened horse, which shows that he is a good person."
Chun Xing smiled and said, "I think so too. I admire him very much. He is a hero. When he saved the girl, he didn't know that the little girl was the daughter of the director of the food factory.
After he became lame, the factory manager felt really bad for him. Knowing that Chunsheng was a high school graduate, he even gave him a job at the food factory. He then went to work there."
Shi Aihong asked curiously, "Then Chunsheng's sister's replacement marriage partner must be the introverted young man your mother mentioned! Is Chunsheng's sister willing to marry him?"
Chun Xing said shyly, "Chu Zhiqing, do you believe in fate? Chun Ni has been like a tomboy since she was a child. She was reluctant at first, but Chun Sheng's mother asked Chun Ni to meet the young man, and they both fell in love.
In this way, the marriage exchange between the three families was finally arranged, and the matchmaker was very happy. She said that in the past, brides would get married with pouting lips and tears in their eyes.
The matchmaker also said that if Chunsheng hadn't had a leg problem, his children would have been several years old. She also said that if it weren't for the family background, the boys from both families would definitely have found wives, so her matchmaking was so successful this time.
Shi Aihong said puzzledly: "Chun Xing, Chunsheng wore those special shoes when he came to your house this time. Why didn't he wear them before? If he had worn them when he first started dating you, wouldn't he have been less afraid of being exposed?"
Chun Xing smiled and said, "Shi Zhiqing, I was also very curious, so I asked him. It turns out that when he went out on business this time, he specially went to a big city to check out his legs.
He thought that if his leg could be cured, he wouldn't have to lie to me like this, and he would feel that he was worthy of me.
Doctors at big hospitals said his legs couldn't be cured, but he could wear special shoes so the damage wouldn't be noticeable. After he came back, his mother made him a pair to try on, and the damage really wasn't noticeable.
He was very happy, thinking that marrying me like this would not make me lose face."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Chun Xing, I think you and Chun Sheng have a very good relationship now. Even if you get married, you have to manage your life well. Happiness needs to be created by yourself, and you will definitely be happy."
Chun Xing smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Chu Zhiqing. You educated people know a lot. Chunsheng also said that after I get married, he will teach me about culture, and then I will become an educated person."
Seeing that it was getting late, Chun Xing said goodbye and went home.
After dinner, Chu Jingqiu took Jiang Jiang out for a walk. They also stopped by the cowshed to deliver some food to Grandpa Wu and Uncle Ning.
When I returned to the educated youth site, I found that Shi Aihong was not studying in her room, but seemed to be chatting with Zheng Hongjuan and Wu Shuangshuang in her own room.
Chu Jingqiu packed the package she was going to send to Xiao Yihan and went to bed early.
The next morning, after breakfast, Chu Jingqiu went to the town post office to pick up the package Xiao Yihan gave him, and then sent the letter and package to Xiao Yihan.
She took out the prepared plastic sheet from the space and planned to cover the chicken coop with it when she returned to keep the hen warm.
When I returned to the educated youth site, I found that the site was surrounded by people inside and outside. There were several sidecar motorcycles and several bicycles parked outside the site.
Chu Jingqiu walked into the backyard of the educated youth site and found Shi Aihong with disheveled hair being escorted by several female comrades from the Revolutionary Committee. Zhou Weidong was standing next to Shi Aihong with a worried look on his face.
Xu Zhongmin from the Revolutionary Committee was giving a speech nearby, and the old branch secretary Du Jianguo was standing next to him with a sullen face.
Seeing Chu Jingqiu coming in, Zheng Hongjuan pointed at her and shouted, "She is Chu Jingqiu. The book that Shi Zhiqing had must be hers."
Chu Jingqiu said in confusion: "Zheng Zhiqing, what are you talking about? What book is Aihong holding?"
Xu Zhongmin looked at Chu Jingqiu calmly and was dazzled by her beauty, but he concealed his emotions well.
He said with a serious face: "We received a report that Shi Aihong, an educated youth from Qingshan Brigade, was secretly reading banned books.
After searching, we found two banned books in Shi Zhiqing's room, one was a foreign work and the other was a handwritten copy.
Shi Zhiqing even changed the cover of this manuscript. She used the red plastic cover of the leader's works to make a fake cover, making it look as if she had very progressive ideas and was seriously studying the great man's thoughts, but in fact she was reading a banned book.
Of these two books, the handwritten copy is especially pornographic. Anyone caught reading it would be guilty of hooliganism.
These books are poisonous weeds. Some of us educated youth, who came to remote rural areas to work in the fields, did not pursue ideological progress, but instead secretly read these feudal, capitalist, and revisionist works. This will corrupt our minds. I hope that the majority of educated youth will learn from this and completely break with feudal, capitalist, and revisionist ideas.
Shi Aihong cried anxiously, "This is not my book at all. I never read such banned books of feudalism, capitalism, and revisionism, let alone committing hooliganism. Someone is deliberately framing me."
