Chapter 298: Those Two Sons
In 2001, a lot of things happened, Shenzhou-2 flew smoothly, Beishi successfully bid for the Olympic Games, and China joined the WTO...... But for Xia Jingzhi and Zhao Hongsleeve in Linshui County, the most important thing is that their baby daughter Xia Hanqing was born successfully on December 13 of this year!
Xia Jingzhi and Zhao Hongsleeve met in college, Xia Jingzhi is one year higher than Zhao Hongsleeve, and they are not in the same school, one studies medicine and the other studies normal. But fate is such a coincidence, the two met at the hometown meeting, and they fell in love with each other at first sight very cliché - this "cliché" is Xia Hanqing's statement later, for the two at that time, this kind of experience that made people blush and heartbeat, even after decades, can still taste the original mood in retrospect.
After four years of love, the relationship between the two became stronger and stronger, and finally, the day after Xia Jingzhi and Zhao Hongsleeve got their graduation certificates, they returned to the Linshui County Civil Affairs Bureau and quietly received their marriage certificates.
Originally, according to Xia Jingzhi's life plan, after five years of college, he would enter the graduate school of the university for further study, and even in response to the national policy of late marriage and late childbearing, it was also an inevitable result. However, who made the chosen daughter-in-law really beautiful as a flower, he was afraid that if he was studying in graduate school, Zhao Hongsleeve would be abducted. So, taking advantage of the moon before the flowers, the atmosphere was good, and you and I were together, Xia Jingzhi "tricked" the dizzy Zhao Hongsleeve into the grave of love, and he had to live with her for the rest of his life.
Even, Zhao Hongsleeve was originally able to be escorted to the graduate school of this university, but was persuaded by Xia Jingzhi to give up, and chose to return to Linshui County first and enter the job......
In Xia Jingzhi's opinion, it is a fool to believe in his charm boldly and boldly, and leave his girlfriend in the wolf's den!
Later, when Xia Hanqing grew up, when she heard her parents talk about these things, she often accused her father of being too selfish, but it was Zhao Hongsleeve who had to help Xia Jingzhi speak.
After all, how many people can do such selfishness of putting their own future together and being willing to live an ordinary life for one person? People who truly love each other and are truly happy will not care about what they have given or lost, but will cherish what they have gained and be grateful for what they have.
After returning to Linshui County, Zhao Hongsleeve became a teacher at Linshui Middle School, while Xia Jingzhi entered Linshui County People's Hospital. At that time, the welfare housing policy had just ended, and the newly recruited employees were no longer looking forward to buying the preferential housing built by the unit, but bought or rented a house by themselves. The young couple had a dormitory allocation, but they didn't want to live there, so they each took some money from their families and bought two old houses in the middle of Linshui Middle School and the People's Hospital, and lived in them.
At the same time, all their vacation time was spent on preparing for their marriage. Although the red book has long been pinched in his hand, in Linshui, only if a wedding is held, it is called a real marriage, and in order to hold a wedding, he has to go through many hurdles, such as asking a matchmaker to propose marriage, hiring at Yue's house, and taking his future daughter-in-law to tear cloth to make clothes......
Bah, what a future daughter-in-law, they are legal husband and wife, and they are all in their arms early in the morning.
Of course, because Xia Jingzhi "tricked" his baby daughter to get the certificate in advance, Xia Jingzhi was not less "troubled" by the two elders of the Zhao family. The two elders of the Zhao family are both well-informed and literate people, and they never expected that their daughter would privately make a lifelong agreement with a man, and it was Xia Jingzhi's fault that he didn't beat him, it was all light!
At that time, it was the most popular era to go out to work, Xia Jingzhi's two older brothers were working outside and usually didn't go home, and his only sister was also busy studying. Zhao Hongsleeve is a young daughter, and there is a brother who is a soldier above, and he has no time to come back all year round. When all the etiquette was all over and the two families sat together, Xia Jingzhi's father, the old god Xia who was famous in the county, had no intention of finalizing the wedding date: on the eighth day of the lunar month before the year, a good day!
According to the Gregorian calendar, it happened to be January 2, the day after 2001. When Xia Hanqing was a student in junior high school, he used this to laugh at his parents: "The efficiency is good, get married and have a baby within a year." Xia Jingzhi, who loved her daughter the most, didn't say anything, and Zhao Hong deducted Xia Hanqing's pocket money for two weeks. Waited until Xia Hanqing finally understood what he was wrong under Xia Jinchen's guidance, and took the initiative to find Zhao Hongsleeve to beg for mercy, Zhao Hongsleeve pinched her girl's face and taught her: "Bad thing, what are you thinking about? Your father and I got the certificate in 2000, do you know? Bah, bah, why am I saying this......
In short, that time, in order to get the pocket money again, Xia Hanqing not only reflected again and again for his "childish words", but also was taught a lesson by Zhao Hongsleeve by the way, swore that he would never learn from her mother in the future, quietly made a boyfriend and didn't tell his family, and dared to get the certificate himself!
Well, there are some things that adults can do, but children can't learn to drop!
In order to organize the wedding, Xia Jingzhi took a lot of money from his family, and the biggest expense was wedding photography. In 2000, the first wedding photography shop in Linshui County opened, and the cost was high. Xia Jingzhi, who doesn't smoke, drink, or cook, has to calculate how to save the most money, and taking a photo directly uses up his father's hard work for more than half a year. can make Xia unintentionally angry, he said all day long that he cheated some money, and his son took a few photos and spent it, he couldn't even hear a sound, was it easy for him?
Zhao Hongsleeve also complained that Xia Jingzhi was too wasteful of money, so she took a few photos, and she couldn't eat or drink, which was more expensive than the substitute teaching fee she worked hard for a semester. Xia Jingzhi complained casually, just laughed and didn't speak.
The wedding was held in Xia Jingzhi's hometown, and the spacious and bright blue brick house was carefully decorated. On that day, Xia Jingzhi wore a straight suit, and Zhao Hongsleeves wore a white wedding dress, becoming the most fashionable newcomer at that time. All the guests were amazed by the beauty of the bride, and those wedding photos hanging on the wall made people praise the newlyweds for their talent and natural appearance.
After the wedding, the young couple took these wedding photos back to the county seat, put them in their own house, bought a new house a few years later, and these photos also moved to their new home with them. For many years to come, these meticulously framed wedding photos will not be put away and placed in an unknown corner, but will always be placed in the most conspicuous place, even if the years have passed, they can be used to reminisce about their youth.
Whenever her eyes touched those photos, Zhao Hongsleeve's face would be smiling, she was very fortunate that in the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, the person she married always gave her the romance she could. It's like the ring on his hand, which cost all the salary he has saved since he joined the company. Although it is not precious, it will be treasured for a lifetime.
