Chapter 75 Getting Married
The March, June and 9th are the commemorative days in Jiudao Township, and the 6th is the market day. It rained heavily for several days, and the villagers were unable to go to the village in the first few streets. The street finally cleared up after the rain, and it was particularly lively on that day.
Zhou Qiufeng went to the garden early in the morning to pick a batch of fresh melons and vegetables, and put them together with the local eggs at home to set up a street stall. By mid-morning, they were sold out. After finishing the goods, she closed the stall and walked around the countryside. On the street, I went to a villager on the edge of the township and caught two piglets, put them in woven bags, loaded them into my car, and drove back to Mei Village in a hurry.
Back home, Zhou Qiufeng first put one of her piglets in the pig pen, then drove the car to the door of the Lejia backyard and parked it. Then she went to the front of the Lejia house to get the key and open the door of the Lejia backyard. door lock.
Early rice is harvested in late July every year. By the beginning of this month, the villagers’ chickens and ducks are also caged to prevent them from going to other people’s fields to peck at rice. Le’s father has to go to work, so the chickens are caged at home. The backyard was also locked.
Le’s father told Zhou Qiufeng where the key was hidden, and she could find it. Opening the door to Le’s backyard, she went into the pig pen and took a look. Go back and take the piglet in and put it in the pen.
Seeing the little piglets jumping happily in the pig pen and lying down all over the nest, Zhou Qiufeng felt relieved. She left the pig pen room, opened the courtyard door and went out. She saw her sister-in-law standing outside. Almost scared.
Sister-in-law Zhou came back from the market, still carrying something in her hand. She saw her sister-in-law coming out, with a smile on her face: "I searched half the street and couldn't find it. I didn't even pay attention to my own family. I was originally helping Yueqing to catch piglets. If you are so enthusiastic about the Le family, why don’t you become stepmother for Leyun?"
"..." Zhou Qiufeng felt like she was being told The hammering hurt so much that her whole face turned white. She didn't know what nerve her sister-in-law had been wrong recently. She always stimulated her behind someone's back. Now, she even said such words...
She didn't want to pay attention to her sister-in-law, but Sister-in-law Zhou didn't let her go. She looked at her sister-in-law strangely and said something even worse: "Oh, I run to Le's house every two days. If you say that I didn't have an affair with Yueqing, even I won't believe it. An old bachelor, a man without a man, putting firewood in the fire, tsk, tsk,..."
Seeing the cannibalistic look in her sister-in-law's eyes, Sister-in-law Zhou felt frightened and did not dare to say any more unpleasant words. She walked home with her bag swaying, and after walking a few steps, she looked back and saw two lines of tears streaming down her sister-in-law's face. She felt very happy and went home with a smile on her face.
After her sister-in-law left, Zhou Qiufeng silently wiped away the tears on her face, endured the unspeakable pain, drove to the front of Lejia's house, put the keys back where they were, and flushed the car with water from the water press. Dou, after cleaning the car, she calmed down, drove the car back to her house under the eaves, parked the car and went back to report to my mother.
During lunch, Sister-in-law Zhou sneered in her heart when she saw that her sister-in-law seemed to be doing nothing., as expected, he is someone who can hold back his anger.
Zhou Qiufeng didn’t tell her mother-in-law about her sister-in-law’s troubles. Naturally, Grandma Zhou didn’t know that her daughter-in-law had been telling the girl things off openly behind her back.
Le’s father was in a good mood. He received a call from Lele in the afternoon to report that he was safe. His long-awaited heart was completely settled. When he got home from get off work, the first thing he did was to go to the pig pen and saw The little piglet was humming in the pen, and I happily fed it hot food.
In Shennong Mountain, Yan Xing waited until the sun went down and it was slightly dark before waiting for the little Lolita back. The little Lolita collected some more medicinal materials, and also got a pack of phoenix tail mushrooms and three Wild eggs.
The things were cleaned and he couldn’t help. He watched the little Loli wrap two wild eggs with several medicinal materials, wrap them with leaves, bury them in the fire, and also bury some yams. , watching her boil the washed yams in a bowl.
"Uncle Scar, have you contacted your relatives and friends?" There was nothing wrong with Shuhuo. Le Yun was concerned about whether the eunuch would stay or leave. She was really in a hurry and couldn't stay with him for a long time.
"My friend will pick me up tomorrow and will arrive after noon." Yan Xing showed what he thought was the most friendly smile: "Little sister, I will never forget your life-saving grace. Please leave your phone number and address. Give it to me, I will recover from my injuries and then come to thank you in person."
Whoosh -
Unexpectedly, Le Yun felt a gloomy cold air, and the eunuch asked for her address and phone number , what if he is a desperado, knows about her family situation, repays her kindness first and then silences her, that would be fine.
"There is no need to come and say thank you. I don't want anyone to disturb my life. You are thinking about the life-saving grace and if you feel that it is in your conscience not to repay the favor, please leave me your phone number or address if I need it. Wherever you helped, I asked you to repay the favor."
"...That's fine." Yan Xing paused slightly and obeyed the little Lolita's wishes. She was probably afraid that he was a villain, so she didn't give him a call. If you don't give me the address, is it possible that he can't find it?
Classmate Le is a practical person. He quickly found the notebook where he recorded his medicinal habits and asked the eunuch to leave his contact information. Yan Xing did not leave an address, only a phone number and told her that she could find him by calling that number. The pseudonym he gave - Zhang Jin, was the name of the original person with the scarred face.
That Zhang Jin is really a real person, but he is currently missing and he is just pretending to be someone else.
Hearing the name of the nunnery, Le Yun sneered secretly. She had seen the ID card he wore close to his body. The photo on the ID card was the photo of his current face, but his face was fake. It can only prove that he used someone else's ID card and changed his face to look like someone else's.
It feels like I’m in trouble.
Classmate Le was confused. She wanted to use people as guinea pigs to try her hand. Unexpectedly, she seemed to have picked up a very dangerous experimental object.
He has a headache!
After struggling for a while, I simply put it aside. There must be a road for the car to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for the boat to the bridge. We will talk about the next thing later.
It gets dark early in the mountains and soon becomes completely dark.
The fire attracted mosquitoes to come one after another. They did not fly to the fire, but were attracted by the smell of the cordyceps. They ran to stare at the cordyceps, and then sacrificed their lives to become the prey of the cordyceps.
Classmate Le cooked the yam, poured it into the nest made of folded leaves, then blanched the phoenix mushrooms and wild herbs, and finally cooked the porridge.
Cooking porridge takes time, so eat yam first to fill your stomach.
Turn the wild eggs half way through the fire and dig them out when the porridge is almost cooked. The herbs wrapped in the shell have evaporated the water and they break into pieces when touched.
Each of them had an egg, cracked open the shell, and the egg white was like a layer of butter. It looked very good and tasted very delicious.
Gui Yanxing ate up the cooked porridge, then boiled the medicine, drank it, and then boiled it again. After the medicine juice had cooled down, he put it into a mineral water bottle, and continued to drink it. After boiling three doses of medicine, I was ready to go to bed at 10:30 pm.
The eunuch is a wounded man, and it is easy to touch the wound when climbing in the tent. Classmate Le asked him to sleep next to the fire and moved the caterpillars nearby. Since she could not enter the space, she spread her tent in the tent. Clothes, lie down and sleep.
Yan Xing secretly observed the little Lolita, and she quickly fell asleep. He couldn't help but feel depressed. The little Lolita was so casual with a strange man, so he wasn't afraid that the man would turn into a wolf and kill her. Stronger?
With not much to worry about, Dad Le had a good night's sleep. He got up before dawn, opened the door, cooked instant noodles, and when it got light, fed hot pig food to the piglets and chickens.
After feeding the poultry, he took the keys and prepared to go to work. When he saw Zhou Qiufeng trotting into the main room, Le's father was stunned. Qiufeng was carrying her bag and had packed it neatly, but the expression on her face was... Not quite right.
"Xiaofeng, are you feeling unwell? You don't look well." Le's father asked cautiously. He was afraid that if he spoke too loudly, others might hear him and think he was instigating the relationship, saying that the Zhou brothers and sister-in-law were treating Zhou Qiufeng. not good.
"No," Zhou Qiufeng felt bad because she was humiliated by her sister-in-law yesterday, and there was no smile on her face. When she heard Yueqing's concern, she shook her head slightly, hesitated and asked: "Brother Le, your household registration book Are you here, can you lend me a book?"
"Oh, the household registration book, I'll get it." Le's father didn't ask what he wanted to see in the household registration book. He dragged his lame leg and kicked lightly. He stomped back to the bedroom, found the household registration book from the closet, returned to the main room, and handed the book to Zhou Qiufeng.
He didn’t ask anything. Zhou Qiufeng was very confused. She took the Le family’s household registration book and her lips trembled slightly.She mustered up the courage to ask: "Brother Le, little Lele said she wants a new mother, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Zhou Qiufeng's abrupt words scared Le's father silly. , he opened his mouth and was speechless.
Yueqing’s appearance made Zhou Qiufeng feel anxious, and her shoulders shook sadly: “Brother Lele doesn’t like the new mother Lele wants, right?”
"...No, no, no... no," Dad Le suddenly became excited and hurriedly denied, feeling nervous and stammering: "I... don't like it, it's just that I'm afraid... of wronging her. My legs are not good, I will only drag others down..."
Zhou Qiufeng's eyes welled up and she grabbed Yueqing's arm: "Brother Le, let's go to the county to register for marriage. "
"Huh?" Le's father was confused.
Zhou Qiufeng was afraid that Yueqing would regret it and that she would not back down. She made the decision after thinking about it all night, and she took this step with all her courage.
Relying on his courage, no matter what happened, he dragged Le’s dad, locked the door of Le’s house, and pushed Le’s dad, who was still standing dumbfounded, into Le’s house. Sitting in the back of an old electric tricycle, she drove and beeped away.
When they arrived at Xiang Street, Zhou Qiufeng parked the electric three-wheeler in a corner in front of a shop that she was familiar with before, pulled Le’s dad onto the county shuttle bus, and used Le’s dad’s mobile phone to call Boss Wu to ask for leave.
When Boss Wu heard that Yueqing had something to do, he went to the county town. He said nothing and smiled.
Le’s father’s brain was in a state of confusion. He would giggle for a while and be in a daze for a while. He was completely in a fog. He was at the mercy of Zhou Qiufeng. When the shuttle bus arrived at the county, he still hadn’t come back to his senses.
Le’s father was confused, but Zhou Qiufeng was sober. She took full decision and took an electric tricycle carrying passengers from the bus station and went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
On Thursday of that day, someone was going through the marriage procedures in the Civil Affairs Bureau. The staff saw a middle-aged man and woman who thought they were getting a divorce, but it turned out that they were getting married, which made them stunned.
Getting married is only nine dollars. , took wedding photos, registered, and then, in less than half an hour, two red certificates came out.
After getting the marriage certificate, Zhou Qiufeng helped Le’s dad downstairs and walked out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Le’s dad was still smiling silly, and it was still a very silly smile that made passers-by look at him.
Zhou Qiufeng took Le’s dad to visit the county town again. They bought a lot of things in big and small bags, then went to have a fast food and went shopping again. It was almost time to return to the station to take the 1:30 bus. Return to Jiudao Township.
It was only around four o'clock when we arrived in the countryside. The sky was clean and the sunshine was light.
Zhou QiufengLet Dad Le wait on the tricycle, and then go buy fish, meat, slaughtered chickens and ducks, milk, tobacco and alcohol, fill the car full, and return home with a full load.
Back home, Le’s father still seemed to be in a dream. It felt so special and unreal. He had never thought that he and Xiaofeng would get married in such a simple way.
Zhou Qiufeng moved things into the house. Le’s father was dizzy and giggled: "Xiaofeng, are we married?"
"Yes, we are married." Holding him Zhou Qiufeng, who was wearing a new quilt and mat, felt hot in the face, lowered his head, walked past Yueqing, and sent the quilt into the bedroom where he used to live.
Dad Le chased to the door of the room with a smile on his face: "Xiaofeng, are we really married?"
"Yes, we are really married." Zhou Qiufeng's old face burned even more It was hot, and she lowered her head to unpack the new mat and make the bed. This marriage was half forced and half deceived by her, and she felt so ashamed.
“I’m really married.” Le’s dad was dumbfounded and pinched himself, it hurt!
She shivered in pain, and her brain finally woke up after a chaotic day. She ran to the closet hurriedly, found the key and opened the small drawer, pulled out a passbook from the bottom, and ran away with a ding-ding-dong sound. He went to Zhou Qiufeng, grabbed her hand, and put the bankbook into her hand: "Xiaofeng, this is all my savings, 11,631 yuan, you keep it."
Having just spread the mat, Zhou Qiufeng raised her head in surprise when her hand was grabbed: "Le...brother, there is no need for a betrothal gift. I will marry you without any dowry. We... can live a happy life."
"It's not a betrothal gift. From now on, you can do whatever you say to this family. The money is also yours. You don't have to worry about Lele's tuition. Lele got a bonus of 60,000 yuan, and a scholarship and a placement of 10,000 yuan to Qingdao University. She has already saved enough for Lele's college expenses."
Zhou Qiufeng was held by a pair of hands and felt his big hands tightening. Her heart felt sour and her eyes almost shed tears. Tears came and he swallowed hard: "Brother Le, from now on...I will wrong Lele to take care of him in old age."
"No...no, it's us who have wronged you. From now on, I want you at home and abroad. One person is in charge..." Le's father was very nervous and his words were incoherent.
"I'm not wronged. I married you and I have a place to stay... Lele doesn't mind me. I... have nothing else to feel wronged..." Zhou Qiufeng felt sad and uncomfortable, and turned around Entering Le's father's arms, sobbing.
Years of watching her sister-in-law look at her eyes made her suppress too many emotions. When she cried, her tears couldn't be stopped, like a flood that opened a floodgate and poured out.
Le’s father was helpless and wanted to pat her shoulder, but he didn’t dare. Finally, he gently put his arm around her waist and let her cry as much as she wanted. He also knew what Sister-in-law Zhou was like, and Qiu Feng felt that Bitter, she needs a place to vent her frustration.
Holding the woman he would spend half his life with, and listening to her sobs, Le's father felt at ease. Years ago, when Qiufeng was still young, he never thought about playing with him and Brother Zhou behind their butts. One day he and she would start a family, but they didn't expect that the world would be unpredictable, and after a lot of twists and turns, they would eventually become husband and wife when they reached middle age.
What happened to Lele’s mother made him know that a vigorous relationship may break up before it ends; marriages can only last long if they last slowly.
