The new daughter-in-law who brought back looked young, but she had a marriage certificate and household registration as proof, and the people in the village only discussed it in private, and no one stood up to oppose it.

Since the winter of '84, there has been a phenomenon of spending money to buy daughters-in-law in the countryside here. Groups of outsiders, in the name of fleeing the famine to find their daughter's in-laws, collect high bride prices, which is actually buying and selling women.

Older young men or widowed men, who originally planned to change their parents, did not change them, found a suitable family for the sisters in the family, asked for more bride price, and bought a foreign daughter-in-law to live.

Some of them are really fleeing the famine, and most of these people come through relatives and can issue household registration certificates. Some are women who have been abducted and trafficked, sold here by traffickers, crying and running away, and being watched dead by buyers.

There are also pigeons who release pigeons, who take the opportunity to pick up the girl, and fly away with the money they have been cheated of.

Therefore, the people who buy the daughter-in-law, no matter what the situation, look at the daughter-in-law they bought. Most of the families beat or scolded their daughters-in-law who ran away and cried, locked them up at home to restrict their personal freedom, and some even locked them with iron chains. There are also those who are beaten and disabled, and break your legs to make you run again.

There are also village cadres and enthusiastic people who report to the commune police station and relevant departments, but most of the villages are not cared for, and these families who cannot find their daughters-in-law are either very poor, or have poor popularity, or are disabled.

A village inhabited, the poor are sympathetic, and the evil are fearful. Since ancient times, people believe that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one family, and to dismantle people's marriages is to be retributed.

When Aunt Zhao Fang changed her parents last year, she bought all the things for her marriage, and even packed up the new house. This time, the new daughter-in-law entered the door, but there was no need to panic, everything was used.

The new daughter-in-law entered the door of her mother-in-law's house, and looked at the spacious brick house at home, the new bed cover, the grain hoard full of grain, and the various New Year's goods prepared with a happy face, and couldn't believe that all this was true.

Compared to her hometown, it's a paradise life. She was glad that she had met a good person, and her heart was finally relieved.

She hugged her head excitedly, squatted down and cried, and her family was confused by her actions, whether she was happy or sad.

People who watch the excitement don't understand that the bride looks satisfied, but why is this crying.

Cousin Zhao Fang knew why his daughter-in-law was crying, so he patted his wife gently and persuaded: "Now you can rest assured, I really didn't lie to you, this is the situation in our family." After the New Year, let's send the quilt and clothes to your mother's house first.

Don't cry, cry again, the people in the village think I tricked you, and you have to send me to the public security bureau. ”

The girl stopped crying, was helped up by her husband, and smiled embarrassedly at everyone. Cousin Zhao Fang briefly explained the situation of the girl's family to everyone.

The people in the village thought it was incredible, this land was divided into households, and there was such a poor place, thinking of the outsiders who fled the famine and sold their daughters this winter, everyone still had suspicions, but now they finally know that they are not all lies.

The new daughter-in-law entered the house, and they had no other relatives, so Aunt Zhao Fang wanted to lead the new daughter-in-law to visit her grandmother's house. But she took the initiative to break off her relationship with her mother's family, and she really didn't dare to come rashly with her daughter-in-law.

The custom here is that the newly married niece and daughter-in-law have to set up a big banquet on the third day of the new year to visit their grandmother's house, and they have to give the new daughter-in-law a high standard of kowtow money. Therefore, people who do not have a particularly good life at home generally do not allow newly married nieces and daughters-in-law to come to worship.

After a year and a half, my niece and daughter-in-law will come to my grandmother's house again, just give a meeting gift, and there is no need to set up a big banquet.

Cousin Zhao Fang came to pay New Year's greetings early this morning, just to talk about this, but he was honest and told the girl that she was not old enough to get married. With a household registration as proof, the girl's age is really not a problem.

Zhao Fang's parents, no matter how annoyed they are with their sister, still have a very good attitude towards their nephews. The child's marriage was settled, and they were happy and agreed to let them come and worship.

Of course, Grandma Zhao Fang agreed, and her nephew, who she had seen since she was a child, was still more worried. However, the old man still instructed his nephew: "Go home and tell your mother, if she wants to come, she can come, and tomorrow she must come to apologize to your uncle and concubine." If you don't bring your two sisters with you in the third year of junior high school, she won't have to come with you. ”

The women listened to Zhao Fang's words, and they all said in disbelief: "Sanfang, your grandmother was really hurt by your aunt, the person who used to love her daughter so much actually asked her daughter to apologize to her daughter-in-law, it's incredible." ”

Someone else said: "Sanfang, if you don't say it, we thought that your cousin came secretly to pay New Year's greetings today, but it turned out that he had been out for a year and experienced such twists and turns." But it's okay, I found a daughter-in-law after going out for a year. ”

"Oh my God, there is really such a poor place, the family is dressed in cotton clothes, and the nine people cover a quilt, how can they survive the winter. ”

The second grandmother told everyone: "I heard my second aunt say that the northwest and the northeast are the same, the house is sleeping on the kang, in winter, the house is warmer, and we have heating now, it is okay to wear single clothes in the house, but you have to wear a leather jacket when you go out."

You can't grow cotton in the Northeast, why don't you plant cotton in the Northwest, it's really hard to survive in winter where there is no cotton, and a bed cover will be used for a lifetime, and it will be hard and hard, and it won't keep warm at all. ”

The people in the village don't call Zhao Fang's sisters by their nicknames now, they have changed from the third gear to Sanfang, and the two younger sisters below have also become Sifen and Wuhe.

In fact, Sanfang is not as good as the third gear, in the past, large families took concubines, according to the order of entering the door, it was called the second room and the third room. But everyone shouted like this, and Zhao Fang was used to it, and she agreed very happily.

Grandma Baoshan doesn't care about it, they are outsiders in the village, and she is not very happy when others call them Zhao Fang. She thinks that Sanfang is also better than Zhao Fang, and Zhao Fang is not surnamed Han when she hears it, as if she is not from Hantun Village.

In the past few years, Han Tun has recruited several sons-in-law, but they are all close relatives of Han Tun, unlike the Zhao family, who are outsiders who have fled the wilderness, they have no roots in the village, and they don't even have a distant relative.

Looking at Grandma Baoshan's feelings, there is really a certain truth in returning to the roots.

The fourth Zhao Fen's luck is particularly good, although she went to school late, she caught up with the good time. Last year's school system reform, she was supposed to go to the third year of high school, but she had good grades and was allowed to take the college entrance examination.

During the winter vacation this year, after she returned to the village, she went to the village hospital to help, and Hantun Village and her three were admitted to the provincial medical school.

Han Yuchen's third son still didn't go home for the New Year this year, and he found a reason last year, saying that he was on duty in the hospital, and their family didn't mention his son at all this year.
