The girl was determined to marry, but Cousin Zhao Fang didn't take it seriously at all, until the master told him about it, he was really confused.

"Master, I'm nearly thirty years old, twelve years older than other girls, this is absolutely not good, how can I take what the little girl says. Let's treat her mother's teeth, it's a hands-on thing, but we can't force others to pay for their daughters for these few dollars, so am I still a person? ”

The more Zhao Fang's cousin refused, the girl's parents thought that he was honest and reliable, and there were so many older daughters, they really didn't pay attention to it.

When the people in the village heard that the old man's apprentice wanted to find a daughter-in-law here, they were really tempted, but most of what they said were widows, and the old man disagreed.

There are also fifteen or sixteen little girls, whose parents have taken a fancy to the old man's cave, and the old man has a terminal illness and can live for a year or two at most. The old man is gone, and the apprentice will definitely have to go back to his hometown, and then the cave will return to the girl's maiden family.

The renovated cave can live for several lifetimes, which is the foundation for people to settle down.

Cousin Zhao Fang was frightened by the enthusiastic people, and he didn't dare to go out alone without a master to follow. In the end, after thinking about it, I thought of my past experience of changing parents, and for the happiness of my eldest sister in the future, it is also a way to get married here.

Seeing that the apprentice was moved, the old man suggested that he should find the first girl, although he was not familiar with the child, but the girl's parents and grandparents, the old man knew that he was an honest and reliable family.

Besides, the first girl is also handsome, and among the little girls introduced to the apprentices, she is the oldest.

Since both of them were interested, the marriage was quickly completed, and Cousin Zhao Fang did not discuss it with the family, but just wrote a letter to the eldest sister and told her the situation in detail.

He borrowed money from his eldest sister for a marriage, and the money he earned from seeing his teeth had to be used by the master to treat the disease, regardless of whether it had any effect or not, the dead horse was regarded as a live horse doctor, and he only wanted his own peace of mind.

When his eldest sister heard that her brother had found her daughter-in-law, she was naturally full of joy, not only sent her brother 500 yuan, but also bought a futon and two military coats for her brother and sister-in-law in Shennan.

The girl's age is not enough for the legal age of marriage, but the people here have a way, and the letter of introduction issued by the village filled in the girl's household registration by a few years, and the two of them easily received a marriage certificate.

People here get married, and very few have official certificates, and the civil affairs department saw that someone came to register, and did not investigate carefully, so they issued marriage certificates to them.

Before getting married, Zhao Fang's cousin made a new cotton dress for the girl's whole family, and also made two sets of new quilts for her mother's family, ending the history of the whole family building a quilt.

The rest of the money was given to the girl's family as a bride price of two hundred yuan, and a decent wedding was held, and a few sheep were bought, and the whole village was invited to a meal.

The people here raise sheep, and there are very few who feed the pigs, and the people are not full, so how can there be anything to feed the pigs. In addition, there is little rain here, and people lack water to eat, and there is no water to feed the pigs.

The people here are reluctant to even use the washing water, and life is really extremely difficult, and if there is a dry well in the yard of someone's house, they are the top families in the whole village.

It costs 1,000 yuan to build a dry well, and people here can't get 100 yuan, and 1,000 yuan is a huge amount of money.

The people in the village were envious of the girl's parents, saying that they had raised their daughter and found such a rich uncle.

At first, Zhao Fang's cousin said that he didn't have a daughter-in-law, and the people in the village were still suspicious, not to mention that he was almost thirty, that is, twenty-five or sixteen years old, such a good young man, and the family conditions were good, how could he not find a wife.

In the past few years, the ingredients were not good, but after five or six years of reform and opening up, people have long stopped taking the ingredients seriously, so how can they delay until now.

There are also speculations that the young man cheated on marriage, and he is temporarily looking for a partner here, and then the old man will run away when he is gone, the world is so big, where to find someone.

Seeing that the two of them had officially gone through the registration procedures, the village knew that the young man was telling the truth. This is also the main reason why the village is particularly happy to change the age of the girl, after all, everyone hopes that the girl in their village will marry well.

The girl's mother was most satisfied that her aunt had made her a denture, and with the dentures, she finally looked like a person of nearly forty, and she looked like an old woman in her fifties and sixties when she had no teeth before.

Less than a month after the two got married, the old man finally finished his life. The girl's parents took out the two-hundred-yuan bride price given by her uncle, bought a good coffin for the old man, and let the old man be buried in style.

After a month of filial piety for the old man, it was almost the Spring Festival, and the two of them had saved enough money to go home, and sent a telegram to the eldest sister in Shennan, and the two finally decided to return to their hometown.

They not only left the old man's cave to the girl's parents, but also left the bedding and various utensils.

Before leaving, the two of them ignored their parents' objections and left all the cotton coats on their bodies. Zhao Fang's cousin promised that after returning to his hometown, he would send them clothes, and they would pack them after the family wore them.

As for food, go home and find a way to exchange food stamps. Cousin Zhao Fang promised them that when they had saved enough money, they would send them a mail and build a dry well for their family sooner or later.

The girl's parents took their daughter's hand and reluctantly instructed them: "You go back to live your own life, honor your in-laws, don't worry too much about your family, now our family's conditions are good in the village."

We don't want you two to send things home, you can write a letter to your home often, and it's best to take a photo and mail it back every once in a while, so that we can see what you look like. ”

The girl's poor family couldn't wear clothes, it was impossible to go to school, and the child couldn't even write a letter so far away from home. My uncle is educated, but it wasn't written by his own girl, and they don't feel at ease.

You can hear the phone on the phone, but only in the commune there is a telephone, and ordinary people don't let you use it.

It's a good idea to send photos, at least you can see whether your girl is fat or thin, and whether her face is happy or sad.

Cousin Zhao Fang assured them: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, after we go home, I promise to send you a photo every month, so that you can see how we are doing." ”

The girl's parents hurriedly said: "That's not enough, you can just send a photo for a year and a half, but you can't waste all the money on the photo." ”

The two of them hurried and hurried, and finally returned home on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, his eldest sister had already returned, hiding in a friend's house and did not dare to go home, the brother and sister met first, sent a telegram to the girl's mother's family, and then returned home together.

Aunt Zhao Fang was finally happy when she saw the daughter-in-law brought back by her son, although she was young, she was tall and handsome. I didn't have the heart to blame my eldest daughter for running away from home, and the three brothers and sisters were finally relieved.
