"Little baby, the rice is so good!" the daughter-in-law Zhao Xia called.

Since he was in school, he has been the youngest baby in the same grade, so among his childhood companions, Jing Jian has such a title.

The couple are from the same village, and they can't talk about childhood sweethearts, and they don't guess, but they have also been classmates all the way from elementary school to high school. Before marriage, Jing Jian's impression of Zhao Xia has not been very good. No one will have a good impression of a female classmate whose grades are overwhelming him. But Jing Jian had to admit that this girl's learning was really good. A top student!

It was already completely dark. Although the kerosene lamps were lit, the room was still dark.

In addition to the dishes and chopsticks on the table, there is a pot of sour and hot shredded potatoes, a pot of cabbage vermicelli, in addition, there is a plate of pickled bacon, and half a bowl of dry chili pepper stir-fried pork head. Unexpectedly, half of the meat dishes were eaten, and what was even more surprising was that Zhao Xia also twisted and took out half a bottle of Xifeng wine.

Jing Jian's memory is very good, especially what is about to happen tonight, which has cut a wound in his previous life that can no longer heal. But it's impossible to remember every detail, every dish. At that time, he was just a young man, and he couldn't understand the back of this table of wine and food.

Now, however, Jing Jian can see through it at a glance. Although the Chinese New Year is not long in coming, each family has some hard dishes. But as soon as the old man escaped and retired from the army by himself, he didn't prepare much at all, and he didn't feel that mood. So most of the ones on the table were brought back by Zhao Xia from her mother's house.

Jing Jian squinted and sat down. watched Zhao Xia diligently pour wine for herself, and put a few chopsticks into her bowl. He waited quietly for Zhao Xia's opening words, and there was even a kind of encouragement in his eyes.

The daughter-in-law's hesitant and struggling expression is very cute. In her memory, Zhao Xia seems to have always been a pool of stagnant water, cold like a block of ice that never melts. Where is it like now? Lively and youthful, with rich expressions and immature without secrets. Jing Jian sighed "hey" in his heart, this should be the original her!

"Little baby, dad said, dad said......"

Jing Jian thought to himself, it's really here!

Zhao Xia pinched the corners of her clothes, and finally mustered up the courage, "My family's land, my father has already picked up the wheat, so I want to discuss, is it ......?"

Zhao Xia was embarrassed and tight, and she was already blushing to the base of her neck. married to Jing Jian, she should be a member of the Jing family. But now he is elbowing out, and it is really hard to speak.

The shy appearance of this little woman made Jing Jian almost laugh. hurriedly pretended to drink, hide his expression, and interrupted Zhao Xia's words, and agreed without hesitation: "What do you say, it is my uncle and several brothers-in-law who are helping." This year's production is all theirs. Return to the ground after the autumn harvest. ”

In the countryside back then, what Jing Jian and Zhao Xia said was a big deal.

Due to the fact that it was not long after the package production arrived at the household, Jing Jian was still in the army when the land was divided. And the land must not be abandoned, so it was entrusted to the Zhao family.

The Zhao family has four children. Zhao Xia has two older brothers and a younger brother, and she is the only girl. And this family is very calculating, and loves to take advantage. Let's start with Zhao Xia's marriage!

Originally, every family in the countryside was poor, and the Zhao family was no exception. And although there are many sons, although they are beautiful, they are also under great pressure to marry a daughter-in-law. The boys in his family have reached the age of marriage, and they can't make up the bride price at all, so they use their brains on their own girls.

reluctantly let Zhao Xia finish high school, and she was very competitive to be admitted to Huaqing. You must understand that this was the top student in the science college entrance examination in the entire region that year! But what was the choice of the Zhao family? They were not willing to invest money in losing money. actually forced Zhao Xia to marry and give up going to college.

Jing Jian remembered very well that Zhao Xia cried so much that it shook the whole village. It was the teachers of the school who persuaded them, and the old couple of the Zhao family still did not let go. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Jing Baisheng, who was rescuing the suffering, made a decisive move.

This is actually a problem of poor information. As a regional cadre, Jing Baisheng is well aware of how brilliant the future of college students will be after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Especially in famous schools like Huaqing, most of them have the opportunity to study abroad, and those who stay are coaxed by major ministries and commissions. In a word, even the worst students in prestigious schools basically stay in the central part of the capital to work. That's a veritable central leader!

The funny thing is that in the closed countryside in the interior, the Zhao family doesn't know about this stubble at all. Jing Baisheng paid a double bride price of 500 yuan, and also promised to give the Zhao family another 200 yuan a year in the name of sponsoring Zhao Xia to study in college, until Zhao Xia worked. And so the marriage became a reality.

The Jing family is very satisfied, the daughter-in-law has a bright future, and Zhao Xia has a good appearance and figure, and she has been taking care of housework, inside and out. The Zhao family is more satisfied, the in-laws are big cadres in the region, and in the countryside in the early 80s, this money is not a small amount at all. The bride price plus expenses for marrying a daughter-in-law is 3 or 400 yuan. It fundamentally solves the big problem of the succession of the Zhao family.

As for Jing Jian, it is too difficult to ask a 16-year-old child to know what kind of marriage and family responsibilities and love are. It can only be said to be hazy. Besides, isn't it all like that in the countryside? 16 or 7-year-old young people, find a matchmaker, agree with both parents, and then start a family. Young couples in their 20s, there are many babies running all over the ground.

Zhao Xia is even more fine. If you can solve the problem of going to college, you have already escaped death, and it is impossible to ask for too much. And he also lives in the countryside, and he has never opened his eyes at all. I didn't hate Jing Jian, so I accepted my fate.

So the two families stepped up their operations, and the newlyweds had been in the same room for more than a month. Subsequently, Zhao Xia happily went to the capital to go to university, and Jing Jian also passed the physical examination and went to the army.

If the timeline is postponed by more than ten or twenty years, it is simply a miracle that a peasant son who is a soldier marries a scholar from a top university. Even if it's not hellish difficulty, it's an epic quest. It is particularly valuable, and the wind reviews of the ten towns and eight miles are actually very good. And most of them praised Jing Baisheng's good deeds and commented on the Zhao family's Gao Pan. The people of this era are really simple!

However, feng shui takes turns, with Jing Baisheng's accident and Jing Jian's retirement, the Zhao family's high climb has become a big joke. The future funding is gone, and the only place left in the hands of the Zhao family is the self-reserved land of Jing Jian. Therefore, when Zhao Xia returned to her hometown during the winter vacation, her parents-in-law held the attitude that they could not suffer losses, and instigated their daughter to discuss with Jing Jian whether they could still hand over the land to the Zhao family for cultivation, and the harvest would all belong to their family. At least until the winter wheat harvest.

Such a request is actually quite excessive. Help take care of the son-in-law's land, and the son-in-law is serving in the army, although there is no explicit, but there are country rules. Your Zhao family has made a contribution, and it is okay to get a part, but you should also leave rations for Jing Jian. Otherwise, what will Jing Jian eat for most of the next half a year?
