Hearing Wang Yansheng's words, Qiao Hongxia felt that something exploded in her mind!
Her whole body seemed to be a shrimp thrown into boiling water, turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her hands were tugging at the corners of the clothes, tightening and loosening, loosening and tightening, and the corners of the clothes were rubbed so badly by her that it took a long time before she found her voice and said, "Why me?"
Not only is she one year older than him, but she is also divorced and has a child. With his status and achievements, he can absolutely marry a better girl!
Even if he wants to marry a girl from the city, it's not impossible. If she hadn't known that he wasn't the type to make fun of others, she would have thought he was making fun of herself!
Qiao Hongxia was nervous, but Wang Yansheng was more nervous than her.
It's just that he is dark-skinned and serious, if it is not for those who are very familiar with him, he will definitely not be able to see it.
He stared at her face without blinking, and when he saw her cheeks were flushed with pink, he thought it was beautiful.
After staring at her for a while, afraid that she would think she was a rogue, he forced himself to look away from her face, and then heard her question.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately she didn't reject him: "I-I've been paying attention to you for a long time."
As soon as he said this, he wanted to slap himself.
Bah, this sounds more like a hooligan!
Sure enough, when Qiao Hongxia heard what he said, she looked up at him.
Wang Yansheng was so nervous that his heart jumped out of his throat: "I-I didn't mean that, I mean do you remember the year 1960?"
Qiao Hongxia was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Of course I remember, the three years of famine will never be forgotten in this life!"
Wang Yansheng also nodded his head. From 1959 to 1961, there was a famine across the country, and many people did not survive those years.
In the past, the Wang family was not wealthy, and it could even be said that they were very poor. When the famine came, people like them with four walls and a large population were the first to be hit.
His grandfather, grandmother, and a little aunt died from eating Guanyin soil in 1959. He originally had a little sister who also starved to death that year.
In those three years, people in the production team starved to death almost every day!
Although the family warned them not to eat Guanyin soil every day, but on that day, he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, and when he was shaking hands and trying to stuff the Guanyin soil into his mouth, she appeared to him with half a thick steamed bun. before.
He still remembers what she said to him, she said: "If you eat this soil, you will die, don't eat it, you eat my piece.
Bread it! "
He raised his head and looked at her blankly, thinking that she was really stupid, how important food was in those days, she actually gave him steamed buns to eat!
Seeing that he hadn't moved, she shoved the steamed buns into his hands, and before leaving, told him again, telling him not to eat Guanyin soil in the future.
At that time, he was staring blankly at her distant back while gobbling his food. He felt that she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life, even at that time she was thin and pale.
She was thirteen years old that year, and he was twelve years old. After that day, he knew her name and knew that he was the third child in the family like himself.
Later, they all survived the most difficult three years. After that, the Qiao family's life became more and more prosperous, while the Wang family was still very poor. His eldest brother and second brother got married one after another, and the family had more and more children, and the burden became heavier and heavier.
A girl in the village can be said to be her husband's family at the age of sixteen or seventeen. When she is sixteen, the matchmaker frequently goes to Qiao's house to talk about relatives. The young men in the production teams near and far all want to marry her as their daughter-in-law, and he also thinks so.
But he didn't want to marry her back, let her live in a thatched hut, and let her eat pickles and gruel with him every meal, so when the troops went to the production team to select people to serve as soldiers, he seized the opportunity.
Before going to the army, he really wanted to ask her to wait for him, but he really couldn't open his mouth. He had nothing. If he didn't get any results, why would he let her waste time for him
In the end, he didn't say anything and went to the army alone with a suitcase on his back.
He almost worked hard with his life. When others put in 100% of sweat, he paid 200%. When others practiced for ten hours, he also gave himself two additional hours of practice.
His hard work paid off a bumper harvest. He was promoted from soldier to squad leader to platoon leader. When he thought he had finally made some achievements and could come back to propose marriage to her, she got married.
After knowing that she was married, he regretted and blamed himself very much in his heart. He should have come back earlier, he should have the cheek to express his heart to her, maybe she will be willing to wait for him.
But it's useless to regret again. Before returning to the army, he made an excuse to go to the production team where her husband's house was located, just so that he could take a look at her from a distance.
After returning to the army, he worked even harder. Although he didn't know who he was fighting for, he didn't want to miss the person he liked next time because of his incompetence.
It took him three years to be promoted to the platoon leader, and eight years to be promoted to the head of the regiment. During this period, countless people wanted to match him, some of whom he directly refused, and some who could not refuse to go on a blind date, but all
There was nothing that moved him.
When he came back this time because of family matters, he had never thought that he would meet her, let alone that she would go home after a divorce!
The moment he heard her divorce, he felt his heart beating fast, and he was very excited. This sounded a bit schadenfreude and despicable, but he was really glad that the man had no eyes!
In the past few days, in addition to being busy with the Huo family, he also went to the county seat to inquire about his fifth brother. He thought that when he was busy, he would not be able to remember other things, but her appearance seemed to be engraved in his heart. The busier I am, the more I want to see her.
A few days of precipitation also made him understand that he wanted to marry her!
He doesn't want to miss this opportunity again, if he misses this opportunity again, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
Qiao Hongxia heard him mention that she gave him half a steamed bun back then, and heard him say that she wanted to marry her eleven years ago. Her heart seemed to have been put into many rabbits, and they were all jumping wildly.
"Bang bang bang-"
It was the sound of her heartbeat.
The two stood so close, she wondered if he would hear her heartbeat.
She tried to calm herself down, but it didn't work at all!
She blushed, bit her lower lip and said, "So... are you trying to repay your kindness?"
Wang Yansheng nodded his head like a stunner: "Didn't the ancients say that the kindness of saving one's life should be promised with one's body? I want to promise myself to you..."
After that, he wanted to smoke himself again!
What the hell happened to him today
Why are you saying such a hooligan? !
Qiao Hongxia's neck turned red: "Do you usually talk to women like this?"
Wang Yansheng shook his head like a rattle: "No, I didn't talk to other women like that, no, no, I don't have any other women!"
"Pfft-"
Qiao Hongxia finally couldn't help laughing when she saw how nervous he was talking nonsense.
Wang Yansheng looked at her pink cheeks and the corners of her lips curled up, an impulse surged in her heart, she wanted to hug her in his arms!
He took a deep breath and said, "Hongxia, I'm stupid and can't speak, but I really want to get along with you. If you want, we can get engaged immediately, just after a year of marriage."
According to the custom of the village, after the death of an elder in the family, one year must pass before getting married and having a wedding.
Qiao Hongxia seemed to be stuffed with sweet dates, sweet from her mouth to her heart: "I-I'll talk to you after I think about it!"
After speaking, she turned and ran down the mountain, as if a wolf was chasing her behind her.
Wang Yan
Sheng looked at her "fleeing" back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
***
Qiao Hongxia ran home in a huff.
Lin Hui walked out of the kitchen holding her stomach. Just when she saw her panting, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you run like this? Did something happen?"
Qiao Hongxia "has a guilty conscience to be a thief", her eyes are erratic and dare not look at her: "Nothing happened."
Her temperament has always been generous, and at this moment, Lin Hui can't even notice if she doesn't want to, but she is gentle, and she will never talk too much about things the other party doesn't want to say.
She reached out and pulled her basket and said, "give me the vegetables, and I'll wash them."
Qiao Hongxia shook her head: "No, I'll do it. You have such a big belly, so don't do the usual housework, just wait for me to come back to do it!"
Lin Hui curled the corners of her lips: "It's only been five months, and it's still several months before the actual production. How can I do nothing?"
A sister-in-law who gets along so well with them, I'm afraid they won't be able to find a second pair in the entire production team.
In the end, Qiao Hongxia took the job of washing vegetables.
But she didn't finish washing it for a long time, and she also ruined all the cabbage!
When Lin Hui came out to see her like this again, she couldn't help but be a little worried: "Hongxia, do you have something on your mind? The mother-in-law in the village always speaks badly, so don't take their words to heart!"
Some time ago, Zhao Jiefang remarried, which was publicized by Song Jinlai's daughter-in-law, and the whole production team knew about it.
She was worried that Qiao Hongxia had heard something unpleasant when she went out just now, but she refused to tell others, and kept her grievance in her heart.
Qiao Hongxia looked up and saw the second sister-in-law looking at her with worried eyes, and said warmly in her heart: "Second sister-in-law, I'm really fine, but I have something... I want to ask your opinion."
Lin Hui saw that her cheeks suddenly turned red, and a strange feeling surged in her heart: "What's the matter?"
Qiao Hongxia hesitated: "Second sister-in-law, how did you make up your mind to be with my second brother?"
Speaking of which, the second sister-in-law is really infatuated with the second brother!
Back then, when her second brother's legs weren't healed, she had no hesitation to marry her second brother!
This time, it was Lin Hui's turn to blush: "Why did you get involved with me? Actually, there's nothing to say, I just don't want to miss it again."
Qiao Hongxia looked at her with bright eyes: "Then are you worried about not being suitable for each other after remarriage?"
Speaking of which, their aunt and sister-in-law had a rough marriage, one was a widow and the other was divorced.
, In the eyes of others, they are all "broken shoes"!
People like them who have been married once need more courage to remarry, because they are afraid of making a wrong decision. If she makes another wrong decision, can she still get divorced again
If she really gets divorced again, I'm afraid her reputation will stink all over the world!
Lin Hui smiled and nodded: "Of course I'm worried, but compared to worrying about inappropriateness, I'm more afraid of regrets."
She has regretted it once, and it is a rare opportunity to come to her again. If she misses it again this time, she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life!
Qiao Hongxia was holding a vegetable leaf in her hand, looking thoughtful.
Lin Hui looked at the vegetable leaves that were kneaded out of shape in her hands, and asked tentatively, "Hongxia, do you... have any thoughts in your mind?"
Qiao Hongxia came back to her senses, and her face burst into flames.
She stood up in a panic, holding the pot of rotten vegetable leaves and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm going to cook, you go to the room to rest for a while, and I'll call you later after dinner!"
After speaking, she ran away again.
When it was time to eat, the table was full of "sorrows and complaints".
"Three aunts, this dish is so salty!" Da Qiao almost cried when she took a bite of the dish.
When Qiao Hongxia heard this, she quickly took a sip with her chopsticks and almost spit it out. It was too salty. How many times did she put salt in
Xiao Yiming hugged his little arm and said with a sullen face: "Mom, waste is shameful, you can't spit it out!"
Qiao Hongxia: "…"
Seeing the slumped appearance of the third aunt, Da Qiao covered her mouth and laughed.
Qiao Hongxia stood up and said, "Don't eat these, I'll get you some noodles."
Lin Hui followed and stood up: "Forget it, let me go. You look like this, I don't worry about handing over the kitchen to you again!"
She is now quite sure that Qiao Hongxia has something in her heart, and it should be a good thing.
Qiao Hongxia felt guilty again.
That night, the dinner in Qiao's courtyard was a little late, and that night, Qiao Hongxia fell asleep again.
***
"clang clang-"
The next day, Wang Shuisheng got off work half an hour earlier, and then he beat the gong and asked everyone to gather at the threshing ground. He had something to announce.
"What do you think the captain wants to say? Could it be that Xilinzi's story has been spread out?"
"No way? Didn't the captain tell everyone not to speak out?"
"It's hard to say, you also know that there are a lot of broken mouths in this production team!"
"Damn, if this is the case, and I find out who said it, I will definitely not forgive him!"
This word spread in an instant, and the more it spread, the worse it became. Everyone suspected each other, and several people almost fought.
Wang Shuisheng came over, knocked on the gong, and said, "Just be quiet for me, and don't allow any fights, or I'll deduct centimeters!"
When everyone heard that centimeters would be deducted, they quieted down.
Wang Shuisheng coughed and said, "Our production team has average harvests, and we don't have any specialties, nor do we have a geographical advantage. As a result, our production team has been unable to go up and down over the years, and we can't starve to death, but we can't be rich!"
"Since I have become the production captain, I naturally want to help everyone and the entire production team to become rich, but I am stupid and inflexible, and I have no connections, so I'm really sorry for everyone over the years!"
When everyone heard this beginning, they couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Captain, what does this mean
Doesn't he want to do it
Most of the people looked worried. After all, Wang Shuisheng, the production captain, was not very skilled, but he was fair, and he was not greedy. Everyone was quite satisfied with him as the production captain.
There are also a small number of people who are very happy. Some people have long wanted to remove Wang Shuisheng from the position of production captain and replace him, but because the Wang family has a third Wang who is an official in the army, no one dares to tell him clearly. Right.
Wang Shuisheng ignored everyone's discussion and continued to shout with a thick throat: "My third brother came back this time and showed me a way. He said that the country needs a lot of Chinese herbal medicine now, and there are almost no production teams that can grow Chinese herbal medicine, so he suggested that we The production team can develop in this direction!”
Someone shouted: "Captain, how is it going? Don't everyone plant food instead of Chinese herbal medicine? Then what will we eat at the end of the year?"
"Eat the northwest wind!" Someone raised a bar. "The commune stipulates that the production team can only grow cash crops, and the captain has privately changed to Chinese herbal medicine. If we can't pay the grain, we will have to go to jail one by one!"
When everyone heard this, they panicked.
"Captain, you can't do this!"
"Yeah yeah, we don't want to go to jail, what's wrong with growing food?"
"That is, although I can't be rich, I still have food to eat. If I grow some Chinese herbal medicine, can that thing survive? Even if I grow it, I can't fill my stomach!"
Wang Shuisheng saw that everyone was in high spirits, so he banged on the gong quickly, but his voice was hoarse, and there was still no way to calm everyone down.
At this moment, Wang Yansheng walked out from the crowd with his long legs and came to the stage.
His eyes are cold
Lengchao glanced at everyone, and said in a strong and powerful voice: "All quiet for me!"
As soon as this sound went on, the people in the entire threshing floor seemed to be strangled by the neck of a duck, and there was no sound.
Few people in the production team do not know Wang Yansheng's identity in the army. This time, when he came back, many people wanted to have a relationship with him. Unfortunately, after he came back for so many days, he ran out almost every day, and it was difficult for everyone to see him!
At this moment, he was standing tall and straight on the top, and his aura was unspoken. When everyone was drunk like this, they naturally became fearful.
Wang Yansheng said with a solemn face: "My elder brother said that the planting of Chinese herbal medicines does not mean that we do not grow food. The land of the production team belongs to the state. Only after confirming with the government can the plant be changed, otherwise it is illegal!"
"What did the captain mean when he said that just now?" Someone asked boldly.
Wang Yansheng said: "Every family has a private plot. Although the area is not large, if you want, you can use this private plot to try to grow Chinese herbal medicine."
It turned out to be a private plot. When everyone heard this, the hearts that were raised high were finally put down.
Private plots are not allowed to grow commercial crops, so ordinary households use them to grow vegetables, such as cucumbers, pumpkins, radishes, and cabbage.
If this private land is changed to Chinese herbal medicine, what will they eat after that, do they eat white porridge with boiled water every day
So some people are not happy!
"The third one, the Chinese herbal medicine you mentioned, is there any benefit after planting it?"
For example, can it be sold to a supply and marketing cooperative for a good price, or whether the state will send someone to buy it? If the price is good, they will be happy, but if it is not good, why would they plant it
Wang Yansheng said: "If you can plant a large area, it will naturally be beneficial, but it is only now, the amount is not large, and everyone has never planted before, it needs a process of exploration and adaptation. In other words, in the short term, it may be possible get no benefit."
If you can't get any benefits, you still want everyone to plant
Isn't this sick
The crowd boiled again, complaining of all kinds.
Qiao Hongxia looked at the man on the stage with a complicated mood.
Before yesterday, he was a person from the same village to himself, other than that, there was no relationship between them.
But after yesterday, they were implicated in a relationship that no one else knew about. At this time, seeing that everyone disagreed with him, she
No wonder he was nervous.
"Mom, I don't think Wang... the third child is like a mess. He dares to say such a thing. There must be a plan in the future, but it's hard to tell everyone now."
She considered it for a while, then turned her head and said to her mother in a low voice.
Qiao Xiuzhi glanced at her and said, "You... seem to know him well?"
"Boom!"
It seemed that a thunder had exploded in Qiao Hongxia's heart, and her face instantly turned red.
She wanted to say that she didn't know him, but when she met her mother's penetrating eyes, she couldn't say a word, so she could only bow her head with a blushing face.
In that way, Qiao Xiuzhi felt more and more guilty.
At this time, there was another woman staring at Wang Yansheng with a pair of eyes in the crowd.
That person was not Fang Xiaojuan, but a female educated youth.
Dazhi's eyes were bright and his cheeks were fluttering. He stared at the tall and straight man on the stage without blinking, and asked the female educated youth beside him, "Who is that man on the stage? Why haven't I seen him before?"
The man on stage is amazing!
Those pair of straight and slender long legs, that tall and straight figure, those handsome and resolute facial features, no matter which one they are, they are all in line with her interpretation of the perfect man!
"You said him, he is the third brother of the production captain. I heard that he is a very capable person. He was just promoted to the regiment commander in the army last year. He has not been home for several years. It is normal for you not to know him."
The female educated youth beside her was the first batch of educated youth to go to the countryside. Because she was old, she married someone from the production team a few years ago and had children, so she knew very well the origin of Wang Yansheng.
Head! ! !
Azhi's entire face turned even redder, and his body trembled with excitement.
This man is simply a dream lover tailored for her!
This man, she is determined! !
Wang Yansheng spoke up again to silence everyone: "My eldest brother and I are just telling everyone about this. As for whether you want to change to Chinese herbal medicine, you can decide for yourself. If you don't want to, the production team will never force you! Give you one day to think about it, If you want to change Chinese herbal medicine, go to the production team office tomorrow to sign up!"
"None of us have ever grown Chinese herbal medicine, what if we die?"
Some people know that Wang Yansheng is a capable person. Like Qiao Hongxia just thought, they thought he would not aimlessly, so they were a little moved when they saw him on stage just now.
When Wang Yansheng heard this question, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Our production team had three people from the farm before, who happened to have planted Chinese herbal medicine before, and they can let them
They come to guide you in planting! "
Some people who wanted to plant plants felt relieved when they heard this.
"Do you have any questions? If not, then—"
Just when Wang Shuisheng was about to dismiss everyone, a delicate voice suddenly rang out: "Captain, I have something to say!"
Answer rank squeezed out of the crowd and walked onto the stage with his waist twisted.
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angel who threw the mine: 1 succulent pistachio, snow (﹡?o?﹡);
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: 20 bottles of Youzhi and Gu Han; 17 bottles of Xiaocai; 10 bottles of Jimu, Yuanyuan Baby, Queqiao Da C, Yang Yang's Little Fairy; 4 bottles of Shishi; 3 bottles of cat bones; blue 1 bottle of Nini, Little Mango, and Aneng;
