Chapter 217 Double Happiness
Out of consideration for reality.
In the end, under the threat of loss of life, the He family chose to grit their teeth and compromise.
If Zhao Lili really hanged herself in front of their house, the whole family might lose their jobs.
The He couple completely hated this future daughter-in-law whom they had never met.
Zhao Sheng saw that the matter was settled, and he didn't need to worry about the details.
I made an appointment with the He family to go to the countryside to propose marriage this Sunday.
After setting the date, Zhao Sheng returned to the factory and went to the communication room to make a phone call.
Today is Thursday. Uncle Zhao is holding a meeting in the commune. The regular meeting procedure is for the leaders to speak, and then the village heads will report on the situation in each village.
But this time, the higher-ups gave us some great news.
After two years, the university admission notice was released to their Zhaojia Town.
The commune distributed the quotas to several surrounding villages, with each village having exactly one candidate eligible for nomination.
Zhao Tieniu had lunch in the commune cafeteria and held a small meeting with several village heads. Before he went back, he received a call from his nephew in the city.
Zhao Sheng told his uncle about his younger sister's marriage, and when he heard him talk about selecting college students from workers, peasants and soldiers, he subconsciously asked his uncle to postpone the news for a few days.
He would wait until Sunday when he came back and talked to his uncle before leaking the news.
Uncle Zhao guessed what his nephew meant and agreed without asking any questions. After all, it was not a big deal to be late for a few days.
Just submit it before August 10th next month.
When Zhao Tieniu returned to the village, he went to his second brother Zhao Tiezhu's house.
"Sister-in-law, Zhao Sheng said that someone will come to propose marriage to Zhao Lili the day after tomorrow, so you should be prepared in advance."
Hearing what her uncle said, Wang Caihong immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I get it."
The second son, Zhao Sheng, is still capable. Although he is not very filial, at least he knows how to help his sister.
Zhao Tiezhu only half understood, "What marriage proposal? Are you ready so soon?"
Didn’t your spouse keep asking around and making arrangements every day a while ago?
It was not convenient to tell her daughter’s ugly deeds in front of her uncle, so Wang Caihong just glared at Zhao Tiezhu.
"It's too late to rely on you as a father. I will take care of my daughter's marriage, so don't worry about it."
Zhao Tiezhu choked and just smoked his cigarette. She was the one who decided the marriage of her children and he really had no say in it.
Uncle Zhao left the house after delivering the message, but when he saw his nephew's wife drying her hair in the yard, he stopped and mentioned it with a smile.
"In a few days, it will be Army Day and my nephew will be born. Don't forget me, my nephew's wife."
Lin Yiyi rubbed her washed hair and didn't react for a moment, "Zhao Sheng's birthday? Army Day?"
Thinking about what his nephew was going to do, Uncle Zhao didn't say much. He smiled and responded before leaving the yard.
It turns out that this silly boy is a caring and protective person.
However, it is not impossible to give the quota to my nephew's wife, but I will have to endure gossip for a while.
But if you don't take advantage of your family, that's a sign of mental illness.
I listened to what the village chief said.
For the first time, Lin Yiyi felt that she had never asked much about Zhao Sheng's affairs and didn't care much about him.
It's a bit inappropriate for a wife to learn about her husband's birthday from other people.
But fortunately it was still in time.
Today is the 23rd, and August 1st is Army Day.
What gift should she give him?
I don’t know if they will be able to celebrate their birthdays together at that time.
It’s a pity that I didn’t learn how to bake cakes before, otherwise it would come in handy now.
You can't make two brown sugar cakes as cakes, right?
Lin Yiyi thought for a long time but still had no idea what gift to give. In the city, she could buy ready-made items as gifts.
There's really nothing to show off in the countryside.
Listening to the sound of chopping wood in the yard, I suddenly had an idea. I found a piece of wood of suitable size and length and went back to the house to start handcrafting.
Two or three days passed like this.
It's the 26th.
Wang Caihong cleaned the house early in the morning and directed her two daughters-in-law to sweep the yard without going out to work.
The scale of the mobilization is almost the same as during the Chinese New Year.
At almost ten o'clock in the morning, the person who had been waiting for several days finally showed up.
Zhao Sheng picked up the He family in a truck early in the morning and drove back to the village for two hours.
After bringing people into the Zhao family, he ignored all the matters concerning marriage discussed by the elders.
Lin Yiyi knew that the man who came to propose marriage to her sister-in-law had come. She did not leave the house, but looked at the scene outside the yard from the window. When she saw the man suddenly appear, a surprised smile immediately appeared on her face.
As soon as Zhao Sheng entered the second room, he pulled the woman in front of the window to a corner behind the door to prevent people outside from seeing what was happening inside the room.
He hugged his wife whom he hadn't seen for a long time and was very affectionate with her. He missed her so much.
Lin Yiyi felt itchy and smiled with eyes curved. She looked up at the man and said happily: "Why are you back? Are you here to pick me up?"
Knowing that she had misunderstood, Zhao Sheng hugged her and quickly explained gently, "It will take a few more days, don't worry, I came back today to tell you something."
Seeing the disappointment in her almond eyes, Zhao Sheng felt bad. He lowered his head and kissed her eyes again, and asked softly, "Wife, do you want to go to college?"
Lin Yiyi pouted and hummed, "Of course I do, but aren't you not allowed to go to college now?"
"I just want to ask you if you want to go. If you are willing to go, I will find a way to send you to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."
To be cautious, Zhao Sheng spoke in a low voice.
Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?
Can she go there because her household registration has a stain?
Lin Yiyi was puzzled. "But... there is a problem with my household registration. I cannot pass the political review, you know."
Seeing that she didn't seem to understand what he meant, the man leaned close to Lin Yiyi and whispered a few words into her ear.
There is nothing in this world that you can't do as long as you want to do it.
Lin Yiyi was so shocked by the man's boldness that her eyes could not move. He was really capable!
He even dares to do illegal things!
Can you do it? Definitely not.
Lin Yiyi refused decisively, saying gently, "No, I won't go. What if something happens to you because of me? I will just take care of you at home."
You can still go to university by taking the college entrance examination in two years, but it will be more valuable.
But we can't just harm him for the sake of the present.
"Don't worry about me for now. Are you serious about what you said? Are you really not going?"
Zhao Sheng carefully observed Lin Yiyi's subtle expression, fearing that she would say something against her will out of fear, something that would only happen once in a long time.
I don’t know when will be the next time I have this opportunity.
She is timid about things that others are fighting over.
"No, I'm not going. I'm serious."
Lin Yiyi was extremely resolute, thinking that the man was too bold and afraid that he would go astray, and said seriously: "You have to cherish your feathers, and there are some boundaries that you cannot cross.
If something happens to you, I won’t care and will remarry you immediately. "
Zhao Sheng's face darkened instantly, and he hugged the man tightly, saying fiercely: "How dare you! You have to stay here for me! If anything happens to me, it will definitely be because of you!"
He now couldn't bear to hear her say that she wanted to marry someone else.
