Chapter 2 Thinking Before Marriage

After a while, Father Song came to his senses, opened his mouth to speak, realized that there was still half a corn in his mouth, and hurriedly swallowed: "You, ahem, are you married?"

"Zhao Di, don't talk nonsense." Mother Song saw that her daughter's eyelids were red and swollen, and she was immediately sure that she was crying secretly for a long time last night, "If you don't want to marry, we won't marry, and we will recruit a son-in-law tomorrow."

"Mother..." Liu Ling, that's not right, Song Zhaodi thought, the son-in-law who came to the house was not Chinese cabbage. With an extremely serious face, he said, "I'm not talking nonsense, I don't want to marry Wang Degui, I want to marry Zhong Jianguo."

pat!

The chopsticks in Father Song's hand fell into the bowl, splashing a lot of white rice grains, but he didn't care: "Zhao Di, are you sleepy?"

"What's the confusion? In my opinion, it's clearly crazy." Song Zhaodi's eldest sister said, "Mother, go and find Dad's silver needle and give the little sister a few needles."

Song Zhaodi sighed: "Eldest sister, I'm not crazy."

"Why don't you want to let Wang Degui, an innocent young man, marry a widower?" Sister Song stared, "My aunt is not at ease, she is a stepmother to her family, and she can't see our family well. The second child of the Zhong family is a soldier in Shencheng, as she said, and is a college student. He still has a salary of more than 100 yuan a month. Not to mention three children, even if he has five children, there are many women willing to marry he.

"You don't remember what she brought to our house? A few broken pears, and a few matchmakers brought pears to the door. By the way, her husband's surname is Zhong, our surname is Song, you marry the second child of the Zhong family, Song Zhong In the end, you don't know what she has in mind?"

The original owner was only concerned that Zhao Yin was uneasy and kind, and Song Zhaodi, whose core was replaced by Liu Ling, recalled Zhao Yin's words carefully, and found that her words were full of loopholes: "Today is National Day, and Zhong Jianguo will come back in a few days. I will ask him what happened. ."

"Zhao Di, listen to your mother's words." Mother Song stood up against the table with a sad face, "Mother knows that the Wang family and the Zhong family are not good match, don't worry, I will ask someone to talk to you when I arrive tomorrow, and I won't let you go. My daughter is left."

Song Zhaodi thought, the world will become more and more chaotic in the future, and nine out of ten people who are in good conditions and are from the city will be criticized. If they don't marry now, they can only marry in the countryside in the future.

Let her spend ten years of chaos in the countryside? Song Zhaodi is not happy. As for Zhong Jianguo's child, she has never raised a child anyway, so she is helping him to raise it for the time being, and she doesn't want to raise it in the future, it's a big deal to get a divorce.

military marriage

Difficult to divorce, it is not impossible to leave, just think about it when you want to divorce.

However, these words could not be said. Song Zhaodi took Song's mother's hand. The gully on her hand surprised Song Zhaodi. She looked down and saw that Song's mother's fingers were wrapped in a few pieces of cloth. She was shocked. At this time, the peasant Really bitter: "Mother, Zhong Jianguo is a college student, or a soldier who eats commercial grains. If I marry him, I will be a city person—"

"You can be considered a city person when you marry into the Wang family." Sister Song is not impatient, and she doesn't have a lot of temper. It is about her sister's life, and slow Langzhong is also anxious at the moment, "Wang Degui's parents also said that you married Wang Degui. , I'll ask Wang Degui's uncle to transfer you to teach in the town."

Song Zhaodi knew that the eldest sister was good for her, so she didn't blame her for yelling: "My aunt deliberately made the second child of the Zhong family hyped up. I think my aunt doesn't know about Zhong Jianguo's situation, but she is right."

"What do you mean?" Mother Song was puzzled.

Song Zhaodi: "Zhong Jianguo is at least a captain."

"Captain?" Sister Song didn't understand. "What kind of officer is he?"

Song Zhaodi guessed according to later generations: "I heard from my classmates that after graduating from college and enlisting in the army for six years, he can be promoted to captain. Zhong Jianguo has been graduated for eight years, and Binhai Ocean University is a military academy. Now he is at least a captain, and then he is a captain and a major."

"I know the major." Sister Song said, "The major must be the head of the regiment, right?"

Song Zhaodi has watched military programs, but has never noticed whether the major is a regiment commander or a division commander: "I don't know, and no one in our family is a soldier. I guessed based on what my former classmates said."

"If Zhong Jianguo didn't have children, he would be more suitable than Wang Degui." Wang Degui is a shipyard worker. Zhong Jianguo may be promoted to general in the future. Sister Song hesitated, "Father, mother, what do you think?"

Mother Song looked at her little girl and said, "It would be nice if the two of them could make peace."

"How can there be such a good thing in the world." Father Song is a barefoot doctor in Xiaosong Village. In recent years, he has been "destroying the Four Olds" everywhere. People in the village know that the Song family has a lot of books, but no one dares to read Father Song's books. He and Yinzhen were taken away because he was afraid that one day he would fall ill, and Father Song who did not have these things would not be able to cure the disease.

At the craziest time, someone wanted to go to the Song family to collect things. When a relative's child is sick, he can't care about anything, so he will go to Father Song with the child in his arms.

Father Song has only read a few medical books, and he also knows that nothing is perfect in the world. He also knows that Zhong Jianguo, an officer, is more valuable and capable than Wang De, a worker. If his daughter is married, he will not have to worry about running out of food in times of famine. "Zhong Jianguo has three children, you You have to think clearly."

Mother Song turned her head sharply: "Her father, why did you agree?"

"Mother, I have something to tell you and Dad." Song Zhaodi saw Song's mother's impatience and pulled people into her room.

Father Song waved to the eldest daughter and the eldest son-in-law, and the couple returned to their house with their meals. Father Song went in and said, "Just say whatever you want, my mother and I will listen to you, this is your life's business, your future Don't regret it."

"Father, mother, don't be angry when I tell you." The original owner planned to rot in his stomach. In order to reassure the second old man, Song Zhaodi thought about it for a while and then decided to tell it all, "I'll talk to a friend when I go to school."

Mother Song didn't react for a while: "What friend?"

"Male?" Father Song couldn't believe it, Song Zhaodi nodded, and Father Song hurriedly asked, "Where are the others?"

Mother Song suddenly widened her eyes: "Zhao Di—"

"Mother, don't worry." Song Zhaodi's body instinctively went to help Song's mother, "I told him to come back from summer vacation last year, but there was a problem with his family background and he secretly went overseas."

Father Song stared at his daughter: "You came back suddenly last year, and your mother thought you had something to do. I said that your mother thought too much. Later, I heard that the university was closed, so I didn't think deeply about it. Was it that time?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi said weakly, "He promised to marry me, and I'll be with him." Pretending to be sad and ashamed of his parents' teaching, Song Zhaodi lowered his head, looking as if he was ashamed to meet his parents.

Mother Song's tears burst out, and she hugged her daughter in her arms.

During the difficult three years, Mother Song never shed a single tear when she only ate one meal a day. At this moment, Mother Song's tears fell down and fell on Song Zhaodi's clothes and hit Song Zhaodi's heart.

Liu Ling is a powerful woman. She has been to the Oscars and Cannes in her previous life. She has also held a personal fashion show. She has encountered countless difficulties and believes that nothing in the world can make her cry.

Listening to Mother Song sobbing in a low voice, she noticed from the corner of her eyes that Father Song, who was half-white-haired, was holding the door frame to secretly wipe her tears, and Liu Ling, who had long forgotten the taste of tears, was wet in the corners of her eyes: "Father, mother, don't be sad, it's all over. I, I found out what kind of person he was before I married him, it's better than getting married

after marriage

I just realized he was a coward. "

"My darling, why is your heart so big?" Mother Song cried out with a wow.

Liu Ling patted Song's mother's back lightly, and said in her heart, your daughter's heart is not big. Since Zhao Yin left, she has been crying under the quilt every night. If it weren't for this cry, the core would not have been replaced by her Liu Ling: "Mother, Zhong Jianguo has three children, I have only had one object, and he does not dare to dislike me. Don't worry about you and Dad."

"He doesn't dare to dislike you, and he still expects you to take care of his children." Father Song wiped away his tears, "What did the Wang family say?"

Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully: "No need to say anything, we have confiscated the Wang family's belongings, so there is no need to explain it to the Wang family. Zhong Jianguo is a soldier, and the Wang family dare not offend Zhong Jianguo, nor do they dare to embarrass our family.

"Father, mother, the villagers are conservative. If the Wang family knew that I had talked to friends, they would have thought that I was not serious, and I had been hesitant before." This is the truth, but the original owner did not expect this.

The original owner was sad because she couldn't go back to the city, and there was no suitable partner in the country. She didn't want to, but she couldn't wait for her age, so she couldn't stop crying, "It may be three or five years, or it may take another seven years. It will be eight years before I can go back to the city to continue my studies, and the country will not give me a job until I graduate. Until then, I will not be able to talk to my neighbors. I thought about it carefully last night, and Zhong Jianguo is the most suitable."

"Oh, you're right. We villagers care about the innocence of the girl's family the most, but we don't care how much the girl's family asks. If you don't marry Zhong Jianguo, you will have to marry in a big city in the future." Father Song looked at Mother Song, " That's all for Zhao Di. Shall we wait at home or go to the city?"

Mother Song didn't even think about it: "There's no reason for me to marry my daughter and ask him to come by himself. If he doesn't come, if he doesn't come, I, I will raise Zhao Di for the rest of my life."

"Mother, be quiet, eldest sister heard me." Song Zhaodi quickly reminded.

Mother Song covered her mouth subconsciously, looked outside, and faintly heard the sound of brushing the pot: "Far away, I can't hear." Turning to Father Song, "I will take Zhao Di to pull two clothes tomorrow?"

"Do we have cloth tickets?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Mother Song choked: "Mother find someone to change her."

"Don't change." Song Zhaodi said, "When Zhong Jianguo comes back, I will ask him to change."

Father Song nodded: "Zhao Di is right. Although Zhao Di has talked about friends in our family, he is still a college student. Marrying him Zhong Jianguo is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life. He must make new clothes for Zhao Di."

"Mother, don't cry." Song Zhaodi subconsciously looked for paper, thinking that it was not 2067, but 1967. People who learned from this era raised their sleeves to wipe tears for Mother Song, "Zhong Jianguo If it is a lieutenant, it costs dozens of yuan a month, even if he looks like Zhou Zheng, I will not marry him. Don't think too much about you and your father, I will talk about everything when I see someone. "

"Yes!" Father Song said, "After graduating from college and serving in the army for eight years, he is still only a lieutenant. Such a person might not be as good as Wang Degui."

Mother Song: "But Wang Degui can't marry either. If he knew about my family's Zhao Di... he might dislike my daughter." Tears came out again as he spoke. Mother Song believed that her own girl had only talked about one friend, and others might not believe it, "Mother's Zhao Di, why are you so miserable?"

"Why are you still crying?" Sister Song walked in, her brows furrowed, "Mother, Zhao Di doesn't look down on Wang Degui, and she doesn't want to marry Zhong Jianguo. When I go to work in the furniture factory tomorrow, I will ask who has He Zhao. A boy of the same size."

Mother Song put away her tears: "Don't ask. My mother is worried that my stepmother is not good enough. People's children can't be beaten or scolded, and they can't become talented if they don't beat or scold. Zhong Jianguo has to complain about Zhao Di. When she thinks of this, she will feel in her heart. Congested."

"You can't beat him, you can't scold him, he'll be honest after starving him for three days." Sister Song looked at Song Zhaodi, "Zhong Jianguo dares to protect him, so he won't look after him."

Song Zhaodi deliberately asked, "What if Zhong Jianguo drives me away?"

"Go home." Sister Song blurted out without thinking, "You are a college student, and some of the second marriages are also married. We will not be wronged by his family."

On October 3rd, in the evening, when Mother Song came back from the production team, she saw that the pigsty and sheeppen had been swept clean, and Song Zhaodi was squatting on the ground to chop up rotten vegetables and throw them into the ducksty. She was very busy.

"Zhaodi, take a break." Song's mother moved a small bench and sat next to Song Zhaodi. "Today is No. 3, and Zhong Jianguo is still missing. Do you want to ask your elder brother-in-law to go to the city and ask?"

Song Zhaodi stopped: "Ask my cousin, Zhong Jianguo, why hasn't she come back yet? Don't ask. We didn't tell her the truth when my cousin left. The elder brother-in-law went over to ask her, but it wasn't enough for her to run."

"The important thing in your life, let's let her run a few words." Song mother sighed, "In the future, when you marry Zhong Jianguo, in the famine years, your mother and your father will not worry about your hunger."

Zhong Jianguo has three children, the eldest is five years old, the second is three years old, and the third is only one year old. Song Zhaodi was not worried that Zhong Jianguo would not come back, but was afraid that her cousin Zhao Yin, who was also Zhong Jianguo's stepmother, would make Zhong Jianguo angry. As a result, Zhong Jianguo would rather not marry than his stepmother's cousin.

"Wait two more days." Liu Ling vaguely remembered that when the world was at its most chaotic, it didn't affect the army, and the army was like a paradise. If Zhong Jianguo is really a senior officer, it means that he is neither mediocre nor short-sighted.

Liu Ling's idol in her previous life was a public police officer, which also led her to be extra tolerant of men in uniforms. Although Zhong Jianguo is in the navy, which is not the same as her idol's occupation, Liu Ling believes in herself, Zhong Jianguo should not do too much, she can hold back and don't care about each other.

If the object was changed to Wang Degui, Liu Ling, who became Song Zhaodi, could guarantee that she was impatient to deal with it. When things happen to him, Wang Degui, a worker, can't protect his wife and children.

What's more, Zhong Jianguo's conditions are also very outstanding in the city. Seeing that he may be a high-quality stock, Song Zhaodi, who has changed his core, said, "If he still doesn't come, ask my brother-in-law to ask Zhong Jianguo's eldest brother. ask."

Mother Song's eyes lit up: "Yes, we don't need to look for your cousin, we can go past her to look for the boss of the Zhong family, and ask him what Zhong Jianguo means."

"Little Bell, what are you hanging around here, why haven't you gone home yet?"

Zhong Jianguo looked back and said in surprise, "Commander, when did you come back from the imperial capital?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll ask you something." The man in his 50s wearing a navy blue military uniform said, "Listen to your teacher, you have received a telegram from your family to introduce you to someone. He has already approved your fake, what are you doing? Still not going?"

Zhong Jianguo was quite surprised: "Why did the teacher even tell you such a thing."

"Your teacher is happy for you." The man said, "I heard that you are a rural girl. You, a college student, look down on others."

Zhong Jianguo didn't even think about it: "No." He met the other's eyes, and saw that the other party was waiting for him to continue. After pondering for a moment, he felt that the commander also cared about him, "That woman is my stepmother's niece."

"Your stepmother, I heard your sister-in-law say it a few times." The man said, "your previous daughter-in-law told your sister-in-law that he would force your father to send you a telegram when the boxing was late. Tiao is reluctant to put salt. However, I still think that women who are indifferent like your stepmother are rare."

Zhong Jianguo was very worried: "What if? All three of them are still young."

"What if it's not?" the man asked, "Your three children plus one dollar is not ten years old. If you don't marry this year, you must marry next year. Your teacher wants to introduce the teachers in the school to you, but you don't want to. "

Zhong Jianguo waved his hands again and again: "She has just graduated from high school, an innocent little girl, I am hurting her by marrying her." After a while, "Besides, I have three children, and she is a female student who has never done any work. It's not well taken care of."

"Then go back and see you." The man made up his mind for him, "Did you get the marriage report?"

Zhong Jianguo was stunned: "Isn't it necessary?"

"When you see it when you see it, you can do it quickly, so that you won't be distracted." The man said, "Lao Jiang stares at us all day long, and will kill you someday. You can't lead troops to fight Lao Jiang in your state." Immediately he waved to the guard behind him, "Xiao Wang, bring me Master Liu."

Zhong Jianguo hurriedly said, "No, no, I will go to the teacher to apply for marriage."

"That's right." The man smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about anything, just talk about it when you see someone."

On the 4th of October, in the evening, Zhong Jianguo got off the train and did not go to the pipe building on the side of the road. Instead, he walked across a street to the door of his eldest brother's house. A four or five-year-old child ran out of it, Zhong Jianguo subconsciously bent down and picked up the child.

Sister-in-law Zhong chased after him, saw who was coming, and was overjoyed: "When did the second brother come back?"

"Just arrived." Zhong Jianguo held the child in one hand and the bag in the other. When he got inside, he opened the bag and took out all the candies, biscuits, and malted milk inside.

Sister-in-law Zhong stared at the children eagerly, opened half of the candy, and then went to make the wheat milk essence: "I told your elder brother in the morning, is there any delay, why haven't you come back."

"Big brother hasn't gotten off work yet?" Zhong Jianguo asked.

Sister-in-law Zhong: "Your brother has been promoted to team leader and is busier than before. When are you going to go to the Song family?"

"The Song family... Has the sister-in-law ever met that girl from the Song family?" Zhong Jianguo asked.

Sister-in-law Zhong pointed to the south side: "She went there that day, and when I came back, I smiled and said it was done. Since she can't see our family getting along all day long, even if the girl from the Song family has no flaws, people can't follow her. Your first daughter-in-law compares."

"Dad, do you really want to find me a stepmother?" the child leaning on Zhong Jianguo's lap suddenly said.
