Chapter 310 Engagement
Xia Qingqing is a very stubborn person. She has a sense of responsibility towards her family, is respectful and filial to her elders, and is friendly and caring towards her brothers and sisters.
Out of filial piety to her elders, a sense of family responsibility, and love for her sisters, she agreed to the marriage proposal.
In later generations, it seems like being held hostage by morality, but in today's environment, the first child in the family basically bears such responsibility.
She is just marrying someone. Some people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the family. For such a person, since she has already made the choice, she will never think that I will have a hard time and the other brothers and sisters will have to suffer together.
She chose to stand up because she wanted to protect her other brothers and sisters. Why would she drag others into this?
If you really have such a decisive idea, just disagree directly.
Anyone with eyes can see that Xia Qingqing and Song Zhijie are not a good match, and if there are other options, the Xia family is not very willing to marry their child to them.
The Song family relationships are a bit complicated.
Wang Fang was the first wife of the old man of the Song family and gave birth to a son for them.
But Old Man Song was not a human being. After a few years of education, he looked down on the wife his family had arranged for him to marry. He shouted that he wanted freedom in marriage, gave Wang Fang a letter of divorce, then abandoned his entire family, married a new lover, and no one knew where he had gone.
The times back then were different from the times now. Wang Fang had not received much education and was just a hardworking and simple woman.
Even after getting the divorce letter, she did not leave the Song family to remarry, but stayed to serve her parents-in-law.
After all, Wang Fang can leave, but the eldest grandson of the Song family must not be taken away by Wang Fang. Besides, if she leaves, who will take care of the two old people in the family?
The two old men in the Song family held the child in their hands, coaxed Wang Fang a little, said a few words like "We only recognize you as our daughter-in-law", and then kept Wang Fang.
Wang Fang couldn't bear to leave her child, so she had to stay and take care of her parents-in-law and child.
Later, there was war, the two old people in the Song family died, and the son also joined the army. Wang Fang followed her husband wherever her son went. She learned simple bandaging and by chance joined the medical team.
Wang Fang is a rural woman, so it is definitely not the case that she is very good at medicine.
She is very strong because she has been working hard for many years.
If she is not good at the delicate work of wrapping, she will go to the battlefield to pick up people. She is stubborn and even angry. I have to get it back for him no matter what.
Wang Fang dug out many people from the pile of dead bodies, but most of them did not live to see the founding of New China. The few who survived also lost contact because the team was going to be reorganized.
Among those who have connections, Xia Bangguo is the one who is doing the best.
When the North was liberated, Wang Fang happened to meet her ex-husband, whom she thought was dead.
Wang Fang didn't care about her ex-husband at all. She almost forgot what he looked like after not seeing him for so many years. It didn't matter whether he was alive or not, and life would go on the same way. But she would not stop her son from recognizing him as his father.
It was bad luck that his son died in a small battle after liberation, leaving behind a one-year-old grandson.
Her son was Wang Fang’s life. When she heard the news, she could not bear it. Her old injury recurred and she was about to pass away.
Wang Fang was dying, and she was really worried about her grandson. Under this circumstance, when Xia Bangguo suggested arranging an engagement for her, she readily agreed.
Wang Fang trusted Xia Bangguo's character. With this marriage contract, if the Xia family could take care of him a little, her only bloodline would have an easier life, and she could die with peace of mind.
Song Zhijie does have other brothers and sisters.
But Wang Fang has only one grandson, Song Zhijie.
Xia Bangguo owed a favor to Wang Fang, not to his Song family, so it was naturally impossible for him to change the person involved in the engagement.
Who could have known that the Song family would raise their grandson to be such a wicked person?
Xia Qingqing also knew the relationship. Without Wang Fang, there would be no Xia family's current prosperity. Even if Song Zhijie was just a piece of shit, she would have swallowed it with gritted teeth. She just planned to make her home, but she still felt a little hard-pressed in her heart.
Xia Qingqing is a person who only reports good news and not sad news. Since she has made the decision, there is no need to make her family suffer with her, so she rarely tells her family about this matter and just keeps it to herself.
After a long time, won’t you get depressed?
When people are in a low mood, they may have negative thoughts sometimes, but a gentleman judges by deeds rather than by the heart.
Xia Zhizhi watched Xia Qingqing gulp down a pot of milk tea, then wipe her mouth generously, as if she had drunk some magical dew. She became clear-headed, saw through the worldly affairs, and became extraordinary and detached.
Xia Qingqing put down the enamel pot, took Xia Zhizhi's hand, and said affectionately: "When our mother called me and told me that you were found, I was happy, but I still felt a little complicated. I didn't know what kind of personality you had and whether you were easy to get along with. After seeing you, I was just happy. I don't know why I was uncomfortable before. If I had known, I would have come to see you earlier."
Xia Zhizhi had no idea how complicated Xia Qingqing's mind was, but seeing that Xia Qingqing looked like she had figured it out, she thought it was a good thing.
Xia Qingqing talked to Xia Zhizhi about her work and asked about Xia Zhizhi's current situation. They chatted for a while and gradually became friendly.
Xia Qingqing took out the gifts she brought for Xia Zhizhi from her bag: two altered shirts and a set of cosmetics.
As expected of a member of the art troupe, he has all the tools.
Xia Qingqing is pretty, loves to dress up and knows how to do it. Anyway, she likes this kind of thing, and she thought that Xia Zhizhi, a teenage girl, would definitely like it too.
Of course Xia Zhizhi likes it.
Seeing that her sister looked pitiful and cute, spoke softly and well-behaved, and the two sisters could talk to each other, Xia Qingqing was very happy in her heart.
Blood relationship is really a magical thing.
Originally it was only one point good, but then I thought, hey, this person is related to me by blood, so I immediately gave it x10.
Some people believe that the most important part of a body is the soul.
But I wonder if you have ever thought about this: for people who are related to this body by blood, what is important is actually the body.
No one knows how lucky one is to be able to break away from the blood ties of the body and gain unlimited recognition and love from relatives based on the soul alone.
If blood ties are removed and both parties feel they want to continue this relationship with him in the next life, then this person should be very happy, right?
This certainly happens, but probably not too often.
Because of their blood relationship, the two of them became very close within the afternoon.
After asking Xia Qingqing about her taste, Xia Zhizhi asked Yang Yingxu to prepare some delicious dishes and open a jar of plum wine in the evening.
