The original body's memory doesn't have much memory about his father, but Yan Chu thought, just a few simple letters can give a hope of life back to a person who was destined to die. For the other party, the original body may be very important An important person, but it's a pity that he never saw this son again until his death in his last life.
"Yan Chu, what are you doing, are you overjoyed?"
Lin Qingshan pushed Yan Chu aside, now is the time to go to the woman's house to greet the bride, and the auspicious time cannot be delayed.
Yan Chu came back to his senses, ignored the three hundred points for the time being, and rushed towards Lin's house with a group of educated youths and neighbors.
Because Yan Chu's elders are far away in the capital, the Lin family organized the wedding inside and out, and there are also many gossips in the village. They think that on the surface, the Lin family is marrying a daughter, but in fact it is no different from recruiting a wife. son in law.
These words are not pleasant. Huang Ruhua really annoys those talkative mother-in-laws to death. She knows the self-esteem of a normal man in her heart. If she understands these gossips, she will not anger her daughter-in-law. If she meets a black-hearted person, she will hear these words , don’t blame the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law’s natal family for all the faults. There are many people with low self-esteem and pride in the world. I will remember the scheming ones in my heart. When he gains the upper hand, there will be you nice.
Huang Ruhua's temperament is easy to think too much, but she is not unreasonable to be worried. Fortunately, Yan Chu is not the kind of narrow-minded person. Besides, in fact, what the villagers, including some educated youths, are right. Now he really looks like a The one who eats rice, the job is arranged by the wife’s uncle, the house is the old house of the daughter-in-law’s house, the dowry gift is only the Omega watch that the original body was wearing, it’s that watch, it’s just a scene, and it will still be Lin Dingding’s at that time The dowry returned.
After hearing those rumors, Yan Chu didn't intend to get angry at all, but felt that his wife was good, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were kind and generous, and all he could do was to treat them better.
Time has witnessed everything, and one day, others will know whether his father-in-law and mother-in-law married Tintin to him, whether it was a loss or a gain.

"Have you heard that the college entrance examination has resumed?"
In October 1977, a shocking news spread to several nearby villages. The news was brought by someone from the county. Almost on the same day, all the educated youths who got the news went crazy.
There is no educated youth who is not looking forward to returning to the city, including those who have already married wives and children in the village. For them, returning to the city has almost become an obsession. Their relatives are in the city, and their dreams are in the city. The countryside, the heavy labor, and the decent and relaxed life in the city are obviously the way they are used to.
Lin Guangcheng looked at the field that was originally assigned to the educated youth. Today, he did not see a single figure, holding a dry bong, smoking a cigarette, with deep forehead wrinkles, full of melancholy.
"What's going on here?"
Huang Ruhua hasn't been able to work hard for the past two days. She wipes the table and mops the floor. Whenever she stops, she gets a headache.
"The head of the family, you say that child Yan Chu..." The girl has been married for more than half a year. Except that she is not pregnant with a child, she has almost no dissatisfaction. I envy her daughter.
Yan Chu is responsible and caring for his wife. Now he spends six days a week teaching in the commune primary school, and when he comes home at night, he helps his wife boil water and cook. Which big man in the village would do this for his wife. In Lin Dingding's childhood, Yan Chu didn't let her touch the cold water, and he even helped wash the little clothes that were close to her body.
Not to mention the income of the family, he teaches in elementary school and earns a salary of 20 yuan a month. Just after the hand is over, it is all handed over to his daughter-in-law. He does not smoke, drink, or beat his daughter-in-law. On summer evenings, you can often see young couples taking a walk by the river or at the foot of the mountain to enjoy the cool air. You can often see Lin Dingding holding a bunch of beautiful wild flowers in his hands, asking who picked them? It's not that Yan Chu came here specially to make his wife happy.
The men in the village may think that Yan Chu's behavior is too unmanly. Isn't it just to give birth to a son and order her around when she marries? It makes people feel that they have lost the backbone of a man.
The women scoffed at this. What do a group of heartless old men know? Facing a man who doesn't like bathing, who smokes and drinks, and who stinks every day and only wants to get under the bed, a good husband like Yan Chu is simply a good husband. was compared to a god.
Back then, Lin Dingding secretly laughed at Lin Dingding for blindly looking for a man who was useless and wasting a girl of the same age as her good family. Don't worry about regretting it. If they knew Yan Chu was such a considerate husband, they would have already on.
In addition, this husband's appearance is still notoriously handsome, which makes people scratch their ears and hearts with jealousy, and can't sleep because of tossing and turning.
"Don't think about it. Yan Chu is a high school student. How could he not participate in the resumption of the college entrance examination? Today the team will help them sign up. Both his and Ding Ding's names are on it."
Although Lin Guangguo was surprised that his daughter had also signed up for the college entrance examination, he still had a good idea of her daughter's grades, and he probably just wanted to join in the fun. On the contrary, Yan Chu was a high school student from the capital, and he had great hopes of passing the college entrance examination. A college student and a small village girl in the countryside, even though Yan Chuji cares about his wife and has no intention of being Chen Shimei, as the days go by, the gap between the husband and wife is getting bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to live this day.
Huang Ruhua's worry came true. She threw the dishcloth on the table. Like her husband, she also didn't think that her daughter had any hope of passing the exam.
"Master, isn't that list in your hands? Why don't you give our son-in-law's name quietly, quietly..."
Huang Ruhua still couldn't tell directly about asking him to remove her son-in-law's name from the list. After all, it was a shame. As an ordinary peasant woman, although she was worried about her daughter, she really couldn't say such things frankly.
"Do you still want my daughter to live a good life?"
Lin Guangguo rolled his eyes at his daughter-in-law. He knew it was a foolish idea, so he removed the name from the list. When the time came to take the exam, everyone else received the admission ticket, but Yan Chu didn't. What he thought was not a fool.
"Don't worry, our son-in-law is not that kind of person." Lin Guangguo frowned, Huang Ruhua curled his lips while watching, saying that his son-in-law is not that kind of person, and he didn't know who it was at night, and couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

"Lin Dingding, your man is here to pick you up."
After getting married, Lin Dingding found a job to subsidize his family. Their side is near the sea, and some factories will give some jobs to women from nearby villages to help weave the net. A group of women chat and work, Lin Dingding hands and feet Hurry up, you can earn two to three cents a day, not much money in a month, but it can also reduce the burden on some families.
Because the site for weaving the net was set at a family with a relatively large yard at the head of the village, Yan Chu would stop by every day when he came back from school to pick up his wife, and he was used to this couple who were still bored after almost a year of marriage. For young couples, most of their jokes are with good intentions.
Lin Dingding put away most of the nets she had woven, looked at her husband standing at the door doting on her and beckoning, smiled sweetly, and ran briskly over.
"What are you proud of? The college entrance examination has resumed, and the educated youths are still willing to stay in this small village. I have seen Yan Chu stay for a long time. The more loving he is now, the more he will be beaten when he becomes a yellow-faced woman."
Seeing the back of the handsome and tall man carefully protecting the wife beside him, a young daughter-in-law who was about the same age as Lin Dingding murmured jealously, the people next to you look at me, I look at you, there is a tacit understanding Moved a little away from her.
That person was too busy with jealousy, didn't realize it, and tried to arouse the sympathy of others.
"Just look at it. Is it because Lin Dingding's father is the captain of the production team and his uncle is the deputy director of the commune that Yan Zhiqing treats Lin Dingding well? When he is admitted to university and becomes a college student, let's see if he will So flattering this daughter-in-law."
She swears that it's because her life is so bad that she is jealous of others, wishing that all their happiness is fake and it's good to pretend.
"I went to the county to report on a mission today. I bought your favorite meat buns and cut five taels of meat. When I go back tonight, I will make egg steamed meat for you, and I will also bring some to my parents."
Yan Chu took out a steamed bun wrapped tightly in oiled paper from his bosom, because it was placed next to his body, even though the weather had turned cold, the steamed bun was still warm.
"Half for each of us." Lin Dingding happily took the meat bun, broke the meat bun in half without thinking, and stuffed the meaty half into Yan Chu's mouth.
"It's the steamed buns from the first state-owned store. The stuffed buns at that store are rich in fat and more fragrant. Unlike the second store, the meat is all lean." Lin Dingding ate the love steamed buns specially bought by her husband, with happy eyebrows, It was obviously just an ordinary meat bun, as if eating some delicacies from mountains and seas.
"Yan Chu, what do you think if I don't get into college?"
For some reason, the normally energetic little girl suddenly drooped her shoulders. Even if she was eating her favorite meat buns, she seemed to lose her taste.
Lin Dingding knew her own level in her heart. Although Yan Chu had often tutored her with her homework since the two got married, after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, she intensified her efforts to make up her lessons.
It's just that Rome wasn't built in a day. Lin Dingding's background is there. She didn't have Yan Chu's help, and her grades could improve by leaps and bounds. There are also several years of high school courses to make up for, and being admitted to university is like a dream.
"Yan Chu, if you go to college, you can go. I'll wait for you at home."
She raised her head, looked at the husband next to her who could make her blush and heartbeat at any time, and said firmly.
She knew that Yan Chu shouldn't stay in this small village. He is talented and has a broader future, and she shouldn't be the one who restrains him. Besides, she also sees Yan Chu's hard work. , even if the surrounding discussions made her flustered, she didn't want to keep him selfishly.
"fool."
Yan Chu finally understood the reason why she always didn't think about food and drink these days, and it turned out that she was thinking wildly again.
"You scold me."
Lin Dingding is now a man's treasure, and he has become a little bit tempered by being spoiled. Hearing the encouragement of his own pain and sacrifice, he turned back into a fool, pouting and not wanting to talk to him.
"Even if you didn't go to university, are you willing to let me go to school alone? What if I am thirsty and hungry? What if I get cold at night? The husband doesn't care."
Yan Chu reluctantly nodded the little girl's nose. From the beginning to the end, he never thought of leaving her to go to school alone. Even if he was admitted to university, he would take her away with him.
"What, what do you mean?"
Lin Dingding's eyes widened, and he cheered happily.
"It's getting dark, let's go home and cook." Lin Dingding stuffed the remaining steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, where there was no melancholy before, his brisk steps seemed to fly, and he didn't dare to look at Yan Chu's expression at this time always felt that he, who was just acting in a bitter scene, must be extremely helpless in Yan Chu's heart.
Yan Chu shook his head, looked at the little wife who was still like a child, and left behind her.
