Chapter 265 Winter is Coming
The cold winter is here. After a heavy snowfall, the entire Zhaojiatun is covered in new snow.
The sunlight shines through the thin clouds, onto the white earth, reflecting silver light, dazzling people's eyes.
As the end of the year approached and the grain and pears and persimmons from the orchard were distributed, the villagers all stayed at home to spend the winter.
Of course, this does not apply to families with children of marriageable age.
There is no hope for Zhao Liren and He Yanming's relationship.
Zhao's mother began to look for matchmakers every day to help introduce her to a date, but in the surrounding villages and towns, all the men with slightly better conditions had already been taken.
Zhao's mother looks down on any slightly ordinary gay man, saying that either one of them has many brothers, or another has younger brothers, sisters-in-law, or younger sisters-in-law who are a burden.
Zhao Liren has never experienced the pressure to get married in modern times, but she felt it to the fullest extent from Wang Caihong.
"Li, you will be 19 years old next year, and you will be a big girl in your 20s.
If we don’t seize the time to visit each other more during these two months, we will be delayed again when spring ploughing arrives, and half a year will have passed in a flash.”
Wang Caihong was very anxious. "Your sister-in-law is only half a year older than you. She will give birth in a few months. You are really not in a hurry at all. You only grow taller but not smarter."
The younger son can wait a year or two, but the younger daughter’s marriage cannot be delayed at all.
I can't wait to marry her off tomorrow.
Zhao Liren was so upset by what she said that she refused to eat the frozen persimmons.
"Don't say anything. Can't I go with you to see him?"
She has no plan to get married, she just wants to mess with someone else.
Wang Caihong got what she wanted and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, now you dress up and come with me to Matchmaker Zhang's house."
Zhao Liren almost fell several times while walking on the snow before she followed her mother to the destination.
As soon as she entered the room, a middle-aged woman with a particularly professional smile grabbed her hand and praised her.
"My daughter is really pretty and tall, and she is also very useful for hanging clothes and quilts."
"A young man will come here soon. He is from the next village. I heard that he works as a temporary worker in a restaurant in town and can earn several yuan a month.
He knows how to make a living, is honest and decent, and is good-looking, and is about your age."
Zhao Liren was full of black lines on her head: "..."
She had a bad feeling.
After waiting for a while, someone outside shouted to open the door.
The one who came was the blind date partner.
The parents and elders were all saying polite words, trying to make conversation when they had nothing to talk about, and their eyes and attention were all on her and the gay man.
Zhao Liren wanted to laugh a little. Her blind date was about the same height as her, and seemed a little shorter.
He has a flat nose, a big mouth, and slightly buck teeth. He looks really good.
Even without her interfering, Zhao's mother would look down on him.
Zhao Liren didn't like gay men, and as a result, they didn't like her either.
He said he likes girls with a solid physique, thick hands and a big face.
It would be better to say the nice things about what Zhang the matchmaker said. If she had told the original words, the two families would probably have started fighting on the spot.
In fact, he thought Zhao Liren was too thin, and she looked the same from head to toe. She couldn't do farm work and had trouble giving birth. If he married her, she would just be a live-in.
Return to Lao Zhao’s house.
Zhao's mother was a little discouraged. Her daughter couldn't work in the fields and couldn't earn many work points, so it was hard to say good things to her in-laws. Besides, she wasn't as pretty as before.
Men only care about their two taels of flesh, and they just want to look good and pretty.
Even if you can't get off the ground, you can always get on the kang.
Her second son is like this.
The little girl couldn't do farm work but had to work in the fields, and she fell ill two or three times.
He also became darker and thinner.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered sending her to school.
It's really worrying that we are neither going up nor down in this situation now.
Zhao Liren didn't care at all. She went back to her room and started eating the frozen pears.
In late November 1977, she left after being admitted to university. Marriage was not even a consideration for her.
This means that I will have to eat free meals at the Zhao family for nearly two years.
As the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world.
As soon as Zhao Liren mentioned eating free meals, God seemed to open a small window for her.
Zhao Sheng drove Lin Yiyi to Zhaojiatun early in the morning.
When they arrived at the door of the house, they asked Lin Yiyi to sit in the car and not get out.
Because the ground was slippery after snowing, Zhao Sheng shoveled away the slippery ice in the yard before carrying Lin Yiyi into the second room.
Zhao's father and mother were so calm that they ignored the second son's big move.
Anyway, it's just unlimited pampering.
She brought back her luggage, bedding, and daily necessities, including snacks and supplements.
Zhao Sheng touched the kang that was beginning to heat up and said, "I'm going to the main room to talk to my parents about something. I'll be here soon."
Lin Yiyi looked at the man and said "hmm" softly, then took the initiative to hug him and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, cousin..."
I was about to say a few words, but the atmosphere was interrupted by two little troublemakers peeking out of the window.
It's inconvenient to have no curtains.
When Zhao Sheng discovered his two nephews peeping, he looked so serious and intimidating that the two nephews were so frightened that they dared not to look anymore. They jumped off the bench and ran back to the third room.
The kettle that Ma Dongmei asked her son to deliver to the second room was also thrown under the window.
Zhao Sheng went to the main house and told his parents that his wife would live at home for three months.
It also shows that the daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins.
When eating and drinking, everyone should pay more attention to Lin Yiyi. As long as she is well, everyone will be well.
Of course, he also painted a big pie for Zhao's father and mother, promising to help the fourth son, Zhao Cong, find a job in the city.
Lin Yiyi had to keep the firewood for heating the kang during her pregnancy at home.
Also, the snow in the yard must be cleared every day.
Then he went to the house of "Zhao Lili" next door and told her to go to the city to work as a temporary worker.
No matter whether she agrees or not.
Because he had work in the afternoon and time was tight, Zhao Sheng took "Zhao Lili" to his uncle's house.
While giving her the letter of introduction, he also told her about Lin Yiyi's pregnancy in the countryside.
"It's quite busy at the end of the year. I have to help my eldest cousin with the settlement of my nephew, and also look for a courtyard for my eldest cousin and nephew to live in.
I rarely go home every day, and my wife's belly is getting bigger again. She is carrying twins and her body is heavy.
It’s not convenient if there’s no one watching over me.”
"I would like to ask my eldest cousin's wife to come over and help take care of the baby from time to time. She has experience and knows a lot, so I can rest assured when I am out doing things."
Uncle Zhao agreed immediately and readily, "Don't worry, I will ask the eldest son's wife to help out. It's the duty of a family."
It is the nephew's duty to run around for his family and take care of his wife.
Zhao Sheng arranged everything he could think of. In short, he asked all the members of the Zhao family to help keep an eye on his wife.
But even so, he was still not reassured.
Zhao Liren watched what her "second brother" did and couldn't help but feel a little envious of Lin Yiyi.
I feel sad that it is easy to get priceless treasures, but hard to find a lover.
But she was lucky enough that she could work as a temporary worker in the city so she didn't have to be urged to get married by Zhao's mother.
Return to Lao Zhao’s house.
Zhao Sheng said a few words to his third brother’s wife, then turned around and went back to the second room.
He held Lin Yiyi in his arms and hid in a corner behind the door where she couldn't be seen, giving her a warm and affectionate hug.
Their foreheads touched, their lips kissed, and their breaths lingered, filled with the sadness of parting.
The man hugged and embraced his sweetheart again and again.
Inseparable.
Fortunately, she didn't cry or he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to take a step forward.
at last.
Still have to leave.
After the man left, Lin Yiyi lay on the bed with her hair messed up and started reading some books.
If you ignore the tear-soaked handwriting on the pages of the book, she is still the heartless Lin Yiyi.
Ze County.
A few days after Qian Youwei resumed his position, he began to settle accounts with the villains who had been behind the scenes during this period.
However, after investigation, it was found that the report received by the provincial police station at that time was not provided by anyone.
Just a stone and a piece of newspaper circled in red.
This made Qian Youwei very angry. He thought the person who did this was definitely the one who kidnapped him and did something to him.
This insidious and shameless person will be skinned alive if he finds this person.
