Chapter Ninety-Three: What Doesn't Go Down 1
Zheng's mother no longer thinks about her daughter's choice of boyfriend. Even if the Zheng family does not spread the word and does not pass it down, the children and girls of the Zheng family marry their little sons-in-law, but the mother can't help but recall the cousin of Zheng's father, Zheng Xiuzhen found a little son-in-law:
In 1953, 19-year-old Zheng Xiuzhen went to a factory in Wuzhou alone, decided to settle down, and worked in this factory.
When Zheng Xiuzhen was twenty-three years old, her marriage was still unsettled.
One day, in the canteen of the factory where Zheng Xiuzhen was located, a fifteen-year-old helper came. This Shandong boy Li Jigang, after two years of junior high school in his hometown, dropped out of school to follow his fellow villagers and came to Wuzhou to enter this factory.
The masters in the staff canteen are all called Li Jigang: Little Lizi.
After Zheng Xiuzhen had a little savings, she rented a house near the factory, and she moved out of the collective dormitory in the factory.
Although this rented house is in the resident's house and not spacious, the rent is cheap, and it is much quieter and more convenient than the collective dormitory in the factory.
Zheng Xiuzhen eats alone, and it is inconvenient to start the stove, three meals a day, she still eats in the staff canteen in the factory.
Xiao Lizi has been in the staff canteen for a long time, and slowly, he has become acquainted with many people in the factory, and he and Zheng Xiuzhen have also become acquainted.
Once, Zheng Xiuzhen had just arrived at the door of her rented house after work, and Xiao Lizi happened to pass by. Xiao Lizi said, 'Sister Xiuzhen, do you live here?'
Zheng Xiuzhen felt that this boy was very likable, and she didn't shy away from it, so she told the truth: "Yes, this is the house I rented, and there are three people living in this courtyard, uncle, aunt and me, and I feel very good to live here." β
Xiao Lizi followed Zheng Xiuzhen to her rented house to take a look, and the two talked for a while before Xiao Lizi left.
Since then, as long as Xiao Lizi is in charge of the spoon during the opening time of the staff canteen, he will definitely serve Zheng Xiuzhen more meals, and he often goes to Zheng Xiuzhen's residence to play.
Once, Xiao Lizi went to Zheng Xiuzhen's residence to play, and Zheng Xiuzhen said to him: 'Lizi, in the future, you will serve me rice and vegetables, you should serve as much as you want, and if you serve too much, how embarrassing it is, how embarrassing it is!'
Xiao Lizi blushed and said, "Who knows what's going on, as soon as I saw that it was you, the spoon wouldn't listen to it." β
Zheng Xiuzhen smiled and said, "That spoon doesn't obey the call, why didn't you have one less time!"
This made Xiao Lizi's face even redder.
Zheng Xiuzhen thought that the little boy was shy, so she blushed, and she didn't think about it elsewhere at all. With that age gap, she couldn't have thought elsewhere.
This summer, once, Xiao Lizi was playing at Zheng Xiuzhen's house, it was late and it was raining again. Zheng Xiuzhen always regarded Xiao Lizi as a child, she pulled the cloth in front of her bed, pointed to the small bamboo bed at the door and said, "Lizi, it's raining, don't leave tonight, you can sleep there." β
Xiao Lizi happily agreed, and he really fell asleep.
Later, Xiao Lizi went to Zheng Xiuzhen's house to play, as long as it rained, Xiao Lizi naturally lived in Zheng Xiuzhen's house.
A year passed quickly, Zheng Xiuzhen was twenty-four years old, and Li Jigang was sixteen years old. Li Jigang is tall and burly, and the shape of a big man in Shandong has already come out and gone.
At the end of spring this year, Zheng Xiuzhen felt uncomfortable stomach pain, even worse after meals, and it was so uncomfortable to walk that she bent over and pressed her abdomen. The doctor said she had a little stomach prolapse and told her to take medicine to rest.
Zheng Xiuzhen took sick leave, and did not go to the staff canteen to eat a meal, and Li Jigang was alert. He hurriedly ran to Zheng Xiuzhen's residence and asked about her condition.
Zheng Xiuzhen said: "The doctor said, take medicine, rest and rest, and it will be fine soon." β
Since this day, Li Jigang has been busy with work while serving Zheng Xiuzhen, and according to the doctor's instructions, he has three meals a day to carefully recuperate. Three months later, Zheng Xiuzhen regained her health.
When she was sick, Zheng Xiuzhen was afraid that her parents would worry about it, so she didn't mention it in her letter.
After that, Zheng Xiuzhen always thought: She has no relatives in Wuzhou, and Li Jigang is her own brother! But how does she know Li Jigang's thoughts?
This Li Jigang is supposed to be a 'big-hearted' person, but not only is he untruthful, but his 'enlightenment' is still very early!
During Zheng Xiuzhen's illness, two young men in the factory went to see her. Li Jigang stood by and didn't give the two young men more opportunities to speak.
Once, two young men went to see Zheng Xiuzhen, and the two actually ran into each other, and Li Jigang was present.
The two young men looked at Zheng Xiuzhen and said a few words vigorously, but they didn't say what they meant in their hearts.
When Li Ji just sent the guests to the gate, he said to the two young men: "My sister-in-law is not seriously ill, she will go to work soon, you two should not worry about coming to see her anymore." β
When the two young men heard this, they were amazed, and one of them said, 'Is she your sister-in-law?'
Li Jigang said unhurriedly:
In our hometown, we call our brother-in-law brother and sister-in-law sister. Besides, you guys are too confused, my surname is Li, her surname is Zheng, will it be my sister?
"Also, how can anyone call my sister by name? This is my sister-in-law's name before she passed the door, and I was used to mentioning her name." β
Another young man said, 'You said that Xiuzhen is your sister-in-law, why haven't you seen your brother?'
When Li Jigang heard this, his nose and wings were fanned, and he said, "My brother is an active soldier and has no time to come back, so he wrote to me and let me take good care of it!"
As soon as these two young men heard that Zheng Xiuzhen was the wife of an active-duty soldier, they immediately exclaimed in their hearts: Oh mom, if you look at Zheng Xiuzhen with thoughts again, it will be a crime! Whoever gives a few more guts, this is also untouchable! Let's leave quickly, but don't come again!
People in this era are not very open, and they are very honest. Although everyone in the factory knew that Zheng Xiuzhen was an unmarried girl, they heard Li Jigang say it so truthfully, and Zheng Xiuzhen and Li Jigang were both from other places, so they couldn't figure out the details for a while.
After that, the two young men never dared to look for Zheng Xiuzhen again. In this way, Zheng Xiuzhen's 'younger brother' broke her choice opportunities one by one and missed them one by one.
Another year has passed, Zheng Xiuzhen's marriage is still not moving, and the kind-hearted landlord uncle and aunt are anxious about the marriage of the tenant girl, and the old couple asks people everywhere to introduce Zheng Xiuzhen to the object.
Li Jigang soon knew about introducing Zheng Xiuzhen to the object.
Li Jigang based on a villager's facts, he had an idea, according to his own situation, applied this fact to his own affairs and made it up, and thought of a trick:
Li Jigang took advantage of Zheng Xiuzhen's work, and he came to find the landlord. He said:
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry about Xiuzhen's affairs, I'll tell you the truth today, Xiuzhen is my fiancΓ©e."
We are a doll matchmaker with three media and six certificates, and she is four years older than me. When I was thirteen years old, my family got married for me, because the two families were far away, I had never met her, and she didn't know what I was like, so she ran away and came to Wuzhou.
Then my family found out where she was and sent me. You don't want to think about it, it's not this kind of relationship, she can let me in her door, but she still doesn't want to, I'm trying. β
When the landlord and aunt heard this, they said, "Oh!
The aunt looked at Li Jigang and asked, 'Are you twenty-one years old this year?'
Oh, love is such a thing, if it gets into someone's brain and heart, it can really make people stupid and speechless, and it can also make people smart with their brains, twists and turns, and speak smartly!
At this time, Xiao Lizi still replied fluently: 'I am nineteen years old this year, and Xiuzhen is twenty-three years old. Xiuzhen told me that she was away from home at that time, and if she said that she was younger, she was afraid of being bullied, so she said that she was two years older. β
The landlord's uncle and aunt took Li Jigang's words seriously, and when Zheng Xiuzhen came back from work, the old couple learned what Li Jigang said clearly.
Zheng Xiuzhen saw that Li Jigang pinched things with his nose and eyes, he couldn't think of a right answer for a while, and he was afraid that it would become a joke and spread it. She didn't dare to say that there was no such thing, so she admitted it in a hesitant way.
