Chapter Ninety-Four: Obstacles

Compared with the discomfort of the Shui family's toss, the undercurrent in Longkou Village, far away in Fangshan, is even more surpassing.

Now Zhaoqing is completely in a state of utter distress.

Yes, he also passed the exam, and he was admitted to the history department of Renmin University, which has been suspended for eight years and has just resumed enrollment.

But because of this college entrance examination admission letter, his relationship with Xiaoqin is facing the most severe test.

What's going on? It's a bit of a twist to say.

Dare to love Zhaoqing and An Xiaoqin thought they were secrets, but in fact, the good things between the two of them had already fallen in the eyes of those who cared.

It's just that those "people who have come over" suffer from the lack of actual evidence, and they have always been able to speculate only in the shadows and shadows, and it is difficult to openly discuss and play this peachy news.

But after Xiaoqin got two scarves from Zhaoqing's hands, it was different.

Xiaoqin happily ties a scarf around her neck every day, which is equivalent to publicizing, showing, and announcing the sweetness of this love to the whole village. This undoubtedly provides ironclad evidence and rich material for people to speak.

So some people said that it was a private lifelong love token, and some people said that it was a dowry in disguise under Zhaoqing's cleverness. Anyway, the recent incident has suddenly become a hot topic of news behind the old ladies in the village.

Everyone just didn't say it in front of the Zhaoqing family and the secretary of the brigade. For the time being, the two families are still in the dark.

But after all, the secretary of the brigade has an "ear to report to God", and his sensitivity to any news is far beyond the comparison of others.

In addition, Zhaoqing has to blame himself for negligence.

After the exam, he was busy and making money, or talking to Xiao Qinqing, and he didn't pay attention to the pointing and pointing of others behind him.

As a result, these factors come together, and naturally something goes wrong.

On August 8, after Zhaoqing went to the city to deliver eggs to Hong Yanwu, he bought Xiaoqin a few handkerchiefs and stockings for girls in the city.

When he came back, he still met Xiaoqin who was waiting for him at the old place at the entrance of the village.

But when he just handed over the things to Xiaoqin, the two of them didn't have time to say a few affectionate words. Xiaoqin's two uncles and brothers actually appeared.

Then the two young men didn't say a word, completely ignoring An Xiaoqin's pleading to call her brother, and insisted on escorting the panicked man and woman to the team secretary's house

When they came to the door of the house of the brigade secretary. Xiaoqin's father, An Guangsheng, was standing in the yard smoking, he looked very serious at that time, and he looked like a cadre in his actions.

Zhaoqing's spiritual people have analyzed the problem clearly in the shortest possible time. Not only did he see the anger in Secretary An's heart at a glance, but he also understood that today's encounter was an ambush arranged by Secretary An, and he was specially arrested.

Yes, the underground love affair between the two was officially exposed in front of the team secretary.

However, Zhaoqing has a resolute side in his temperament, and he is also very smart and knows that it is useless to escape. So not only did he not defend anything, but he directly made the matter clear, saying that he and Xiaoqin got along, and he was sincere and wanted to marry Xiaoqin as his wife.

In a word, Xiaoqin immediately looked at her father pitifully. There was a mixture of pleading and shyness. Undoubtedly, he was looking forward to his father's promise.

But at this time, Secretary An's face was even more ugly, gloomy.

In his heart, he really didn't look down on this Zhaoqing.

The young man he likes has to be a broad shoulder with a flat shoulder and a thick waist with a big beam. Powerful, able to work, and as strong as a big bull-like "model worker".

And it is by no means a "backward typical" like Zhaoqing, who is white and tender, weak and short of breath, who holds a mobilization meeting to "learn from Dazhai to level the land", and can sleep while standing. Not to mention that the Zhaoqing family is still a feudal landlord with a hat.

He really doesn't know if his daughter is stupid or stupid, and he doesn't want to let so many excellent young men go. Why did you fall in love with this thin and wicker-like "seedling"?

It's hard to look good, can you write and draw?

That is a fart! It can neither be eaten nor drunk, and you will regret it later.

At the same time, what made him even more annoyed was that this incident had already begun to appear.

He has beaten his daughter several times behind his back for this, but his daughter's temperament follows him, and he refuses to look back and not say anything, and he is angry and doesn't eat.

And his wife felt sorry for her daughter, and she counted him down. said that the eldest son who became an engineer had died in the mine, and there was such an only daughter in front of him, and he really broke the girl and starved the child, so he had no one to send him to the end.

In this way, he was also vague, just thinking that the child was still young, and he would wait for him to find a good family for his daughter.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I appeased, this thing would become like this. He didn't know whether to regret or resent it now.

So he held his breath in his heart, and his nose only hummed twice, and he didn't answer Zhaoqing's words at all.

Rural people have simple ideas and do not pay attention to detours. In this case, of course, the first thing is to ask Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin if there is anything out of the ordinary.

This one made Xiaoqin's face crimson on the spot.

Zhaoqing also knew the weight, so he immediately swore very seriously. He and Xiaoqin are absolutely innocent and have not done anything to damage their reputation.

Secretary An's face finally got better after hearing this, but he then asked Zhaoqing what he wanted to marry Xiaoqin.

"I know how many jobs you have in a year, can you support Xiaoqin? I know that you have recently earned a few bucks selling eggs, but that is the category of 'three self and one package, four freedoms'. (i.e., "self-reserved land, free market, self-financing, and production to households" and "free lease, free loans, free employment, and free trade"). It was proposed by Chairman Liu in April 1959) The team only bothered to care about you because your family was too poor and owed a lot of debts. In the future, if I take care of you, this is the matter. I can't rely on this!"

These words made Zhaoqing stuck. He couldn't speak.

Secretary An is reasonable.

"Do you want to be engaged to my daughter? If you can't think of it, you'll have to cut it off for me. I'm not afraid that you don't like to listen, how much hardship has your mother suffered in her life when she married your father? I can't let my daughter be confused again!"

As soon as the words fell, he stuffed the scarf around Xiaoqin's neck and the things that Zhaoqing brought back this time to Zhaoqing. Ignoring Xiaoqin's pleading, he asked the two nephews to drag Xiaoqin back to the house and dry Zhaoqing in the courtyard.

After this night, Xiaoqin did not leave the house for several days, and was obviously placed under house arrest by Secretary An.

Zhaoqing himself is also grasping his heart and lungs, thinking hard about the solution.

But under the system of this era, what can he do? At this time, he really looks forward to being admitted to the university.

Fortunately, things have taken a turn for the better in secret. But this is not because of the college entrance examination admission notice, but Xiaoqin's mother has done the ideological work of the team secretary for her daughter.

Xiaoqin's mother first said to Secretary An, "His father." If the mandarin ducks are not dispersed, there is no hard marriage in the world that can produce good results. You see in our village, the two of them quarreled and didn't live a good life, all because they had others in their hearts back then. It's just that he reluctantly became a relative according to the meaning of his elders, and he still thinks about other people in private. How many housework chores have been made for this?"

Secretary An pondered that this was really the case, he knew the situation in the village best, and there were really a lot of "chaos" between men and women. The hook-ups behind the scenes are really almost all of the ones who had been involved in the past. Many children are obviously tendentious in appearance, but no one has a problem, and it is embarrassing to make trouble, and those who suffer losses can only close the door and beat their wives, and they don't mention black and white......

Xiaoqin's mother saw Secretary An's sad face, and knew that his mind was moving, so she struck while the iron was hot and mentioned another one.

She said that the An family in Longkou Village was originally a big surname, and it has been related to both the surnames Meng and Gong for generations. In addition, it is now a mess, and the blood relationship is getting closer and closer, and the children of this generation can only marry outside.

But they only have this one daughter, and it is difficult to recruit a son-in-law. Since Zhaoqing's mother An Daniel and Secretary An have already come out of the five suits, it is better to fulfill them.

In fact, everything is secondary, the important thing is that in the future, the girl will be able to stay in front of the two of them, and if there is a sickness or disaster, it will not be scratched. In the future, when I am old, I will be able to see my grandson and granddaughter at any time. Dear, hot together, is there anything more affordable than this?

This is really about the reclamation festival, and Secretary An is really tempted.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't look down on Zhaoqing at all. At least this kid has the courage to ask me to marry in person. And their family is really a bit of a family heirloom ghost smart, with smart brains. Not to mention the great contribution his father made to the village back then. Zhaoqing also has a bit of family heirloom skills, such as reading calligraphy, painting and painting, fiddling with flowers and plants, fishing, hunting and hunting birds. A few eggs can also make him rich, but no one in the village can except him. But the problem is that he can't live a long way on this? He has a lazy tendon on his body, what kind of work can he do......"

Xiaoqin's mother laughed. said, "You can't arrange a good errand for your son-in-law as a secretary of the brigade?" He can write and draw, clerk, and manage the warehouse, but he can't do anything? In my opinion, he is the cashier and accountant of the team, and his level is not as high as this kid. ”

These words made Secretary An pause on the spot, and he couldn't help laughing when he said that he was confused.

At this point, it's actually pretty good. But who would have thought that God is so fond of joking with people, he has to get things done too much.

It was at this time that the college entrance examination admission notice was issued to the brigade headquarters in Longkou Village.

The reality really made Secretary An dumbfounded. Of the three production brigades under the Jiulongshan People's Commune, one of the educated youths in the capital did not pass the examination, but it was the Zhaoqing High School in Longkou Village.

That's right, this is a good thing, and it is an absolute good thing for the Zhaoqing family!

Secretary An knew that with this piece of paper, Zhaoqing would be able to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish and enter the capital to study at university. It won't be a problem to stay in the city after graduation and eat public food, but in the future, the official hat on his head will be much bigger than him.

But on the other hand, this is really not a good thing for his family.

Judging from the educated youth, he never believed in any guarantee at all, nor did he believe in anything "rooted in the countryside for a lifetime". He knew in his heart that those educated youths would have to leave sooner or later, so many people in the capital were courteous to Xiaoqin, and he had to interfere.

And now Zhaoqing can't keep it, what can he do if he wants to leave his daughter?

It's been three or four years, and there are no girls in college? His daughter is a junior high school student. Can you guarantee that you won't be dazzled?

really changed his mind in the end, and his family's Xiaoqin didn't wait for three or four years in vain, and she became an old girl.

Besides, what if you don't change your mind? Take Xiaoqin to the city? Can Xiaoqin adapt to it?

Xiaoqin has no job, and she can only be a housewife when she goes to the city. And they are an old couple, they can't see their daughter, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water?

He is not the master who tends to be inflammatory, and wants to climb high branches, not to mention that he has been the secretary of the brigade for 20 years. I've seen and heard too much. He had seen someone fall from office, and he had seen someone rise like a rocket.

In his eyes, in fact, cadres are not cadres, and those in the city and countryside are nonsense. Any big truth is also nonsense, if you want to talk about it, he is better than anyone else.

He doesn't ask what kind of character his son-in-law is, he just wants to be good to his daughter. You can stay with the whole family, young and old, and have a hot meal. It's the best day.

Maybe to outsiders, this idea seems a little silly. But stupid or not stupid is not just lip service, personal perspective is different, he doesn't do things to save face and suffer crimes.

So in this way, this is a university admission letter that most people envy and is enough to respect Zhaoqing. Now it has become a new obstacle between Zhaoqing and An Xiaoqin.

Secretary An had to reconsider his daughter's marriage carefully.
