Qin Shanhai rode a bicycle, thinking as he walked, since he was demobilized and returned to his hometown, he seemed to have fallen into a strange circle, there were always troubles that could not be dealt with, and before one trouble was dealt with, there were three troubles waiting for him.

The mountain road is long, still rugged, on the way forward, at least this moment is away from the distractions, is quiet, even if it is just a moment, it can also make people sort out their thoughts, adjust their state, and then continue on the road, carrying the weight forward.

After entering the house, her mother Zhou Xiulan pulled Qin Shanhai into the house, and said a little mysteriously: "Hey, the sea, how are you and that Xiaojuan?"

“…… Not really. I'm hungry, eat and eat. Qin Shanhai looked at him left and right.

"What's the name? You are not too young, you are twenty-three or four, you look at our village, which family has reached this age, no matter how good or bad they are, they have to marry a wife and have children, and I am still anxious to hold my grandson? What are you like?" Zhou Xiulan said babblingly.

Qin Shanhai said impatiently: "It's no fun, it's no show, she is a daughter, what can I do to support her? Mother, you don't care about my business...... I don't get married until I'm thirty. ”

"I don't care? Xiaojuan, that girl, I'm very rare, why do you say it's divided? Do you know what's wrong? If it's really not good, your third aunt in the village, have looked for me a few times, there is a girl, the conditions are not bad, the income is okay, you go to see it when you rest, and if it doesn't work, you can talk about it......"

Qin Shanhai interrupted: "Mother, my own business, you let me decide for myself, okay?"

Qin De said at the door: "Yes, let him decide the matter of the sea, don't follow it." ”

"Yo, you two are still on the bar with me, am I not doing it for the sake of the child?" Zhou Xiulan glared.

"Eat, eat. Qin De diverted the topic and said.

The family sat down and began to eat, Qin Shanyue's expression was wrong, she was a little eager to say something, and left the table without eating much.

Qin De then spoke: "The sea, your third aunt is looking for your mother, and she wants to tell Xiaoyue about her mother-in-law's family, and the object is Shen Fei, the boy of Shen Da Wine Barrel in the village." ”

Qin Shanhai was not happy when he heard this, "Shen Fei, isn't that just a second egg? Shen Da Barrel drinks three times a day, and if he drinks too much, he will go crazy with alcohol, I understand these two eggs, when I was a child, I climbed a tree and broke my leg, and I walked with a limp, can we let Xiaoyue marry there? You let my sister marry a disabled person, I resolutely disagree!"

Qin De drooped his eyelids and said: "Well, it's not good to drink all the time, but this person still doesn't agree, don't you know what the situation of our family is? Look at Xiaohe, they are all adults this year, and they can't take care of themselves, this Shen Da wine barrel kills pigs in the town, and a lot of money is made, Erdan, this child is still willing to endure hardships, and now follow his father, Erdan is a sister Dajing, and there is a male in his family, and he will take over his father's class in the future, so the business is not all Erdan's in the end?

"Yes, I have discussed with your father, you and that Guan family girl, there must be no play, you don't know, how majestic her mother came to our house, and took thousands of yuan to come over, instead of forcing your father, let your father take care of you! Don't associate with her daughter, your father won't let me tell you......" Zhou Xiulan nagged on the side.

"Shut up!" Qin De became angry.

"And when is this?" Qin Shanhai asked anxiously.

Qin De waved his hand and motioned for his son to sit down, "I can understand that people are doing this, although the way is a bit excessive, just now I said that I would marry Xiaoyue to the Shen family, aren't you also quite excited?

Qin Shanhai sat down, was silent for a long time, and opened his mouth to ask, "Then Xiaoyue agrees?"

Qin De hesitated for a moment, smacked his lips and said: "Sister Erdan, Da Jing is not married, people mean that Xiaoyue married in the past, and people are willing to marry Da Jing, your mother discussed it with me, I think about it or ask for your opinion!"

Qin Shanhai still cared about eating, got up very angrily and said: "This thing can't be done, I am resolutely opposed, what age is it now?

Qin De took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and there were faint tears in his cloudy eyes, and after a while, he said: "Alas, isn't there no way?"

This sigh made Qin Shanhai's eyes turn red when he heard it, "Method...... There will always be, Dad, this matter will not be discussed, it will definitely not work. ”

"Xiaoyue is so old, and the girls and children of the same age in the same village are running all over the ground, what can I do if it drags on like this?" Zhou Xiulan said worriedly on the side.

"Then you can't marry a cripple! What's wrong with the eldest sister, who wants to marry a cripple with normal legs?" Qin Shanhai would never agree with this family affair in his heart.

Qin Shanyue was reading the first-grade Chinese language paper with Xiaohe, probably because Qin Shanhai's voice was too loud and she heard it, and suddenly entered the house at this time, and said in a trembling voice: "As long as my father and mother agree, I don't have any opinion!"

Qin De saw his daughter's aggrieved appearance, and he was also a little unbearable, and said, "Or, let's discuss it again!?"

"There's no need to discuss, no matter what, I won't marry that Da Jing, and the eldest sister won't marry the second egg! Dad, you see, now I'm also a policeman, I'll work hard, a month's salary plus bonus is five or six hundred, save a little, save three or five thousand yuan, and when the time comes, give the eldest sister as a dowry, and marry a good mother-in-law." Qin Shanhai persuaded.

Zhou Xiulan opened her mouth and asked: "It's simple, save money? Three years or five years? Even if you have saved enough in three or five years, what about you? You patronize the eldest sister, and you will beat the bachelor yourself?"

"Isn't life going well? This marriage is a lifelong event, and it must not be improvised!" Qin Shanhai said uncompromisingly.

Qin De smiled awkwardly and stammered, "Xiulan, why don't you ...... Otherwise, the child has his own ideas, so let's not mix it up?"

Zhou Xiulan glared at her, and said fiercely: "As long as you don't get involved! Nothing will work with you! Isn't it like this in the village? Isn't it the case that people are bald, a boy and a girl, and they are married and born like this, and their lives are not very good, so you have to learn from the people in the city to catch up with the fashion, and still fall in love freely, and our family has that condition? I ...... it?"

When Qin Shanhai heard this, he took his eldest sister and younger brother into the back room, and Qin De also took out most of his books, because everyone knew that reasoning with her at this time would not make sense, and he was used to it, so he naturally did what he should do.

Zhou Xiulan didn't care about the reaction of her family, she kept nagging while cleaning up the dinner table.

……

The easternmost part of Furukawa Town, Guanjia.

Since the last time Guan Xiaojuan scolded Gao Daquan, he bought a car to show off when he had two stinky money, Gao Daquan locked the newly bought Honda car in the garage, bought a recently popular mountain bike in the town, and rode it everywhere he went every day.

Gao Daquan felt that there was nothing wrong with riding such a thing except that it was a little cold, and after pedaling a few more laps, his body would sweat, which was quite exercised.

The suit was also changed into a jacket, the leather shoes were replaced with hiking boots, and he wore a cotton hat and cotton gloves every day, riding a mountain bike, completely losing the style of the young master of the Gao family.

Gao Daquan came to visit again today, the gifts he brought this time were not thrown out, and no one said anything nasty, and Li Guilan sat in the living room and chatted very happily.

It's just that Guan Xiaojuan was expressionless on the side, like a sculpture in the People's Square of Shanhe County, motionless.

"Xiaojuan, you have something to say. Li Guilan urged.

Guan Xiaojuan squinted at her mother and returned to her sculpture form.

Li Guilan smiled awkwardly and explained: "Daquan, Xiaojuan, this kid has made us spoiled, too willful. ”

"No, Auntie, I think Xiaojuan is quite sensible. Gao Daquan said with a smile.

Guan Xiaojuan snorted coldly, still going her own way.

"Eat fruit, eat fruit. Li Guilan took the fruit plate on the coffee table and pushed it to Gao Daquan's side.

"Thank you, thank you. "Tall and polite.

Guan Xiaojuan pouted and said, "Are you two doing cross talk here?"

"Why is this kid so ignorant, Daquan came to play with you, what kind of expression do you have?" Li Guilan dragged the scene back.

"It's still Daquan, Daquan, your name is so close, as if he is your son, how many days have you two known each other?" Guan Xiaojuan sneered.

Li Guilan got up suddenly, and she was about to get angry.

The tall full head was a little sweaty, and stopped Li Guilan and said to Guan Xiaojuan: "Xiaojuan...... If you think I'm an eyesore, I'll leave. Don't be angry!"

After speaking, he stood up, waved his hand to Li Guilan again and again, and said politely: "Auntie, don't be angry, it's okay, it's okay, Xiaojuan doesn't want to see me, I'll go, wait for her to be in a better mood one day, I'll come again, it's really okay, don't make me unhappy because of me." ”

"Hey, Daquan, I'm sorry to get this thing, you go slowly, come by bicycle? Li Guilan had to politely send people away.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Xiaojuan going upstairs to her room without looking back.

"Love it, it's all neurotic!" Li Guilan sat on the sofa in the living room and gritted her teeth.

……

Early on Saturday morning, Zhong Guotao borrowed a Jialing 125 motorcycle from a colleague, and bought ten catties of loose wine from the town, six cents a catty, ten catties is exactly six yuan, tied the small wine barrel firmly to the back seat, and suddenly returned to his hometown Shanghe Village.

At Qiaotou's house, the small wine barrel was handed over to the grandfather Lao Zhongtou, and the grandfather and grandson sat and chatted for about ten minutes, Zhong Guotao said hello and went out, wanting to find Jiang Gui, the village party secretary.

When I came to the village committee, I remembered that on Saturday today, the village committee did not go to work, so I went directly to Jiang Gui's house by the way.

Jiang Gui has been the branch secretary in Shanghe Village for more than ten years, Shanghe Village is a poor place, there are no projects and no resources, and he is not busy with work, Jiang Gui plays a role in uploading and disseminating, as for the villagers, they don't care who is the cadre, in their opinion, this errand is nothing good, except for tiredness, there is no oil and water.

Jiang Gui is almost 50 years old, and just hugged his grandson last year, and his son Jiang Wenming and daughter-in-law opened a small shop in the village to sell daily groceries.
