In fact, it was Wang Mei who first fell in love with Zhao Donglin.
Life in the countryside is hard, and those educated youths sent down from the city to Shanghe Village, like the peasants in the village, work in the fields to earn work points and food rations.
Male educated youths are fine, even if they don’t know how to do farm work, they still have strength. As long as they are willing to do it, they can’t escape nine or ten work points a day. Female educated youths have some troubles. First of all, they can’t do hard work, and they can’t do those delicate jobs. , The clerks in the village can't judge them without conscience, it's unfair to other members, so they work hard for a whole day, but only five or six work points, if they are converted into rations, it is a problem to fill their stomachs.
Due to the difficult conditions in the countryside and the status of some educated youths, some of them chose to settle down in the countryside, so that they became villagers and could enjoy the treatment of members of the village with confidence.
As for Wang Mei, her goal is to go back to the city. She can't survive a day in the countryside. There are no shopping malls, no shops, not even her favorite chicken biscuits, butterfly crisps.
The most important thing is that she had a boyfriend at school. Although she didn't know the way, she believed in him in her heart. At the beginning, she was sent to the countryside because of her family relationship. Before going to the countryside, her boyfriend swore to God that he would wait for her to return to the city to marry her.
Therefore, Wang Mei always had a dream of returning to the city, until a year and a half after she went to the countryside, she received a letter from the city. It was written by a female classmate who was close to her. The classmate told her that her boyfriend had married someone else. together.
Wang Mei's heart was pounding. She refused to believe that he would break her promise, so she turned around and asked the team leader for a ten-day leave to return to the city. There was another girl sitting behind him.
This scene deeply stimulated Wang Mei, she rushed forward to question him, asking him why he did this, why did he betray himself
"I'm sorry Wang Mei, but you can't blame me. You have gone to the countryside, and there is no exact time when you will come back. I can't waste my time waiting for you forever."
Wang Mei slapped him and shed painful tears.
"I really misunderstood you. I believe in you so much, and this is how you repay me!"
Before going to the countryside, she gave him everything, endured the harsh conditions in the countryside, and hoped to come back sooner to be her bride. As a result, he fell in love with another woman!
After returning to the village, Wang Mei's mentality changed greatly. Coupled with the family affairs after returning home, she made the same decision as everyone else, which was to find a suitable person in the village to marry. At this time, Zhao Donglin appeared up.
He is a soldier. Soldiers in this era are very popular. Compared with migrant workers, soldiers have higher allowances and better benefits.
After Wang Mei made up her mind, she made friends with Zhang Qiaoer. Zhang Qiaoer saw that the young educated youths in the city always smiled when they saw her, and called each other "Mother" to make out. Her vanity was greatly satisfied.
So when he talked to Wang Mei later, Zhao Donglin didn't want to find an educated youth daughter-in-law, and Zhang Qiaoer insisted that Zhao Donglin didn't want to disobey his mother, so he agreed.
Recalling the past, Zhang Qiaoer was not feeling well. She was silent for a while, tucked the corners of her eyes with her cuffs, and said, "Then you should think about it, if you find the daughter of the Dong family, when you are talked about It's too much, you are all divorced once, in the future you have to bear it yourself, you can't let others see the joke."
Zhang Qiaoer felt wronged. In her son's marriage, even if she was a little selfish, it was not herself. Son Dong Lin, for the face of their Zhao family
Now Donglin pokes his heart with Wang Mei's matter for a divorced woman. To be honest, Zhang Qiaoer is not very happy.
"Mom, I know you're doing it for my own good, but life is like choosing shoes. Only you know which pair of shoes fits your feet and which pair of shoes doesn't fit your feet. It's almost useless to save face, as long as it's comfortable on your feet. If it's just for face, Wouldn't it be even worse to choose an unsuitable one?"
He didn't intend to make his mother unhappy, but this kind of thing just happened once. If he had to find a woman he didn't like and wasn't suitable for him, how would he live in his next life
"Success, what you said is reasonable. Anyway, I can't say anything to you. Since you are the one who fell in love with this time, you can find a matchmaker and talk about kissing yourself. I'm too lazy to bother, but don't worry about it. be blamed."
She was speaking out of anger on purpose, which means, okay, I have no objection, but I don't support it either, you can adjust it as you want, anyway, you choose the person, and you are the one who suits you.
I thought my son would say something nice after hearing this, but Zhao Donglin said directly, "Mom, it's fine if you agree, these are trivial matters, and I can handle them myself, so as not to bother you and make you suffer."
One sentence made Zhang Qiaoer choke up and down, and she put down her chopsticks and left the table after drinking half a bowl of porridge with a tigerish face.
After Zhang Qiaoer left the table, the atmosphere on the table suddenly relaxed a lot. Zhao Manzhu looked at Zhao Donglin with his wrinkled eyes and asked, "Son, you really decided to marry that girl from the Dong family?"
"Yes, Dad, I've made up my mind."
Zhao Manzhu nodded, reached out and touched the pipe hanging from his waist, remembering that it was on the dining table, and there were three children there, and held back.
"That's fine. This is your own business. You can decide for yourself. Your mother will let me talk about it. I will definitely take care of this matter for you."
Zhao Donglin smiled, "It's okay, Dad, Mom, that is to say, I won't really ignore it."
Zhao Manzhu also smiled, "Yes, your mother is such a person, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."
After dinner, Zhao Meixiang cleaned up the pots and bowls, Zheng Yuefen and Zhao Donghe took their son Shitou back to the house.
"Your brother really wants to marry a divorced woman back?"
Zheng Yuefen looked at her husband gossipingly with bright eyes, Zhao Donghe shook his head blankly, "I don't know, didn't we hear about this together?"
Zheng Yuefen hugged her son and rolled her eyes at her husband, then said with interest in a blink of an eye, "I saw your mother's enthusiasm before, and thought she was going to find some kind of fairy wife for your brother, but she finally found a divorced one." Married woman, what do you think your brother thinks, is it really because of Heidan and Yingbao?"
"Otherwise, my brother has been smart since he was a child. He must have his reasons for doing things. Don't be fooled. Give Shito a bath and sleep quickly. He will be sleepy after a day of skin."
Zheng Yuefen kicked him dissatisfied, "Why should I go, Shitou is also your son, so you can't give him a bath?"
After finishing speaking, she stuffed her son into Zhao Donghe's hands.
Early the next morning, Zhang Qiaoer finished her breakfast and put it in the pot before going out with a vegetable basket. Just like Zhao Donglin said, she said that she didn't care, but she was still worried. After all, getting married and marrying a wife is a big event. Just go and see for yourself.
Walking along the country road to Dayu Village, she remembered that Dong Changgui's family belonged to the first brigade, and she had a familiar old sister in the first brigade, and today she went to ask the old sister about the situation of Dong's daughter.
Entering the entrance of Dayu Village, people in twos and threes in the village had breakfast and were ready to go to work in the field. At this time, there was not much work in the field, that is, weeding the grass in the field, fertilizing and so on.
Zhang Qiaoer walked along the route in memory, and found that she was on the wrong path. In recent years, many houses have been built in the team, and it has changed a lot.
Zhang Qiaoer was looking around with a vegetable basket on her shoulders, just as the door of a house opened behind her, and a girl wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat came out of the yard, holding a little girl in her arms.
"Hey, girl, I want to ask where Li Jinzhi's family lives. I haven't been to this village for several years, and I can't find her house all of a sudden."
It was Dong Jiahui that Zhang Qiaoer met, and she held her little niece Tianniu in her arms.
"Li Jinzhi?"
Dong Jiahui's head got bigger when she heard this. She is a Xibei product, and many people in the village don't know her well. Usually, the third aunt and the fourth aunt yell, so how can she know who Li Jinzhi is, but she sees this aunt with a big head. Khan, the question was urgent, and she was too embarrassed to directly answer that she didn't know each other.
"Auntie, how old is the person you are looking for, and who else is in her family? I can't remember who it is when you say this name. Why don't you tell me the name of someone else in her family, maybe I can remember it."
When Zhang Qiaoer heard this, she thought that what she was asking was not a native of Dayu Village, but probably a girl married from another village.
"She is in her fifties. The man she married is Cao Congxi. She has three sons. The eldest son is Cao Hongjun, the second son is Cao Hongqi, and the name of the third son is what I forgot."
Now Dong Jiahui understood, she nodded with a smile and said, "Then I know, you are talking about the fifth aunt of the Cao family. Her family lives at the east intersection. I just happened to go there to find someone. How about I take you with me?" Let's go together."
Zhang Qiaoer was as grateful as anything. She saw that the girl had a fair skin and smiling eyes. She was kind and pleasing. She is a little girl, her face is neither red nor out of breath, which means she is in good health.
"This girl is really good-looking, it's up to you, you can see that she doesn't cry or fuss when you hold her in your hands, she looks at people with piercing eyes, she is clever and well-behaved."
Sweet girl is seventeen months old. She is wearing a small floral gown made by Dong Jiahui, a small sun hat on her head, and a small flower bag on her shoulder. The bag contains some peanuts, water chestnuts, and caramel. and so on.
Tian Niu has a good temper and good looks. Dong Jiahui has no resistance to cute children. Now that the weather is hot, a little girl will follow her to the ground and get tanned. , anyway, it doesn't take much effort to bring Tianniu to be obedient.
Zhou Yindi naturally agreed happily, following Dong Jiahui these days, the sweet girl is very attached to Dong Jiahui, children can best tell who treats her well and who treats her badly, this aunt not only makes good-looking clothes for her, but also buys delicious candy for her. She also told her funny stories and taught her to recite Tang poems and count. Now besides her own mother, Tian Niu's favorite is Dong Jiahui.
Today, Dong Jiahui was going to a house to deliver the clothes she had just made. She was worried about leaving Tianniu at home alone, so she took the child out together.
