Chapter 140: The Phoenix Man (22)
Extra
Xinghua Village, in recent years, has been renovated by the government's welfare, turning their originally beautiful small village into a typical tourism project.
With the support of the policy, the people with flexible brains in the village have built various farmhouses and homestays in accordance with the convenient conditions of their homes.
There are no pesticides in the fields, there are natural fruit trees in the mountains, and there are wild fish frogs, shrimps and crabs in the ponds....
The people in the village don't understand how these things are so attractive to the people in the city, but it doesn't prevent them from using this as a boo to expand their wallets and improve their lives.
Basically, the people in the village are living a good life according to the natural advantages of their hometown.
Xinghua Village has now become a well-known wealthy village, and the girls from all over the country still want to marry here.
But there are always exceptions, and this exception is none other than the Zheng family, who was also famous at that time and was admired by everyone.
Zheng Zhanpeng was so beautiful at the beginning, the first college student in their village, and the tuition and travel expenses for him to go to school were still made up by every household in the village.
And what about the result.... How beautiful it was at the beginning, how depressed it is now....
When the people in the village mention the Zheng family now, they are all embarrassed.
However, the sympathy at that time has now turned into contempt.
Now that the conditions in the village are good, even Lai Mazi's family at the end of the village can live a good life with a room of old, weak, sick and disabled, and if they are diligent.
But the able-bodied people in the Zheng family's house are all nested in the brick house with leaky air on all sides, waiting for pie to fall from the sky....
Especially a big man like Zheng Zhanpeng, who is still a college student, can't even compare to the little fat who has never studied in the village and only has a primary school education.
At least Xiaopang has no culture and no culture, but he will find a way to support his family, he is good, he is at home all day, and he doesn't go out of the door, let alone work, and even the stuttering has to be brought to the door by two old ones.
Over the years, it can be regarded as a bitter old couple, who is not a diligent person, and the two daughters who marry outside the family secretly pull some back from their in-laws' family for three meals a day.
------------------
Zheng Youli was smoking a dry cigarette, the wrinkles on his face were deep and many, and there was a bitter expression on his crepe face.
The old Xiao Tou, who couldn't even compare to him in the village before, is now smoking good cigarettes, only he is still smoking cigarettes.
Zheng Youli glanced at the dry tobacco pouch in his hand, and took a deep breath, bored... There was no smell of cigarettes that old Xiao Tou gave him that day.
He sighed heavily, and ordered Shi Erxiu, who came back from outside with a small basket, "You go and see if Zhanpeng is awake, the weather is good today, if you wake up, let him go out and go up the mountain with me, and let's dig some bamboo shoots." ”
"I heard Lao Xiaotou say that the price of wild bamboo shoots this year is good. ”
Shi Erxiu pursed his lips, with a worried expression on his face, and complained: "You don't know, now that your son doesn't even go out, you still want him to go up the mountain with you to work?"
Zheng Youli frowned again, raised his head, and turned his gaze around the small basket in Shi Erxiu's hand, and the Sichuan character lines between his eyebrows deepened a little, "You secretly went to the field next door to pick vegetables again?"
Shi Erxiu was not stunned at all, "If I don't pick it, what will we eat, just rely on your two daughters who have no conscience to send some food from time to time?"
Zheng Youli: "It's not a good thing." ”
Shi Erxiu also pondered for a long time, but he had some thoughts in his heart, "You see that Zhanpeng has been divorced for so long, and that woman is also a thunderstorm, which makes our son so miserable... I wondered, should I not marry my son again?"
"Maybe he'll cheer up when he gets married...."
Zheng Youli probably didn't have this idea before, but when his wife mentioned it like this, he realized that this idea was good.
Their Zheng family gave birth to such a lone seedling, if Zhanpeng doesn't become a family, the Zheng family will not be able to die.
Zheng Youli took a puff of cigarette and hesitated a little, "But this bride price.... If you really want to do it, the house has to be repaired..."
Like the former daughter-in-law, who doesn't want a bride price, doesn't ask for anything, and is still upside down, it's hard to find a stupid out-of-stock now.
Marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside starts with at least a bride price of 100,000 yuan, and people also have to ask for a car, a house... Even if you find someone whose own conditions are not very good and cheaper, you have to prepare tens of thousands. Now that their family is almost empty, where can they get this money?
Shi Erxiu: "The bride price will be taken by the eldest and the second together, their only younger brother is going to get married, and they can't say nothing at all." ”
"In the past few years, the two sons-in-law have heard that they have earned a lot. ”
Zheng Youli: "Then you can call the two of them home today to discuss this matter." ”
"It's okay to take a little less, but you can't not help at all, otherwise they won't recognize us as a parent. ”
If you have less, you can marry a cheaper daughter-in-law, as long as you can give birth and pull down the lamp, isn't that what a woman is like.
Zheng Youli knew that the two sons-in-law's families always subsidized their daughters and had great resentment. But what does it matter to him, his daughter is married, or his daughter, Lao Tzu always has to listen to his words.
In the room, Zheng Zhanpeng covered his head, lying in the quilt and falling asleep, the sound of his parents outside the door was not small, he also heard some, and his parents were thinking about how to exploit their daughter to pull their son, but he didn't want to get up at all.
No matter how they toss, no matter how they toss, they still live this kind of poor life, and they are really unlucky, how can they be reincarnated in such a poor family.
If only he had lost his family background with Su Qing, he would definitely have great achievements.
It's like Su Qing's little brother who I saw on TV yesterday, not because of the blessing of the family's wealth, he was born and stood at the top of the pyramid, which is really unfair.
Not to mention how Zheng Zhaodi and Zheng Qiudi were asked by the family, there was another after-dinner conversation in the village a few days later, and the two daughters of the Zheng family were divorced by their in-laws and came back with divorce certificates. There is also the youngest son of the Zheng family who is getting married again.
When I heard that the other party was looking for a Bai Fumei in the city, I didn't know how to do it, and the family came back in disgrace, and the Zheng family kept all this a secret.
But this time, I heard that the bride was bought from Vietnam, and it only cost 20,000 yuan. Also, now that the Zheng family is under such conditions, no one's daughter is willing to marry her, let alone a family that is not easy to get along with.
I heard that the 20,000 yuan was taken back by the two daughters from their in-laws, no wonder their men don't want them anymore, so pulling the daughter-in-law of the in-laws' family, no matter how much of the family can be lost by them, it's really unaffordable.
Regardless of the cause and effect of the future, Zheng Zhanpeng finally got married again, Zheng Youli and Shi Erxiu both had deep hopes, hoping that this time their son could cheer up.
Zheng Zhaodi and Zheng Qiudi also have deep hopes, and now the two of them are really desperate, after the divorce, the children will not let them take them away, and the money will not be shared, and the only bit has been looted by Shi Erxiu.
But if the younger brother/son can get up, he will definitely be better than everyone in the village, and he will still be a famous college graduate.
But things are not always as people imagined, Zheng Zhanpeng is married, but the bride's appearance....
After eating a luxurious meal, it was a little uncomfortable for him to get used to the porridge and side dishes.
The bride bought was also unreliable, after a period of lukewarm time between the Zheng family and Zheng Zhanpeng, in the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, the burden was rolled up, and the people ran away.
This time, the family has no extra money to marry Zheng Zhanpeng again.
