In the evening, Qiao's father went to Qiao's third uncle's house, and Qiao's mother talked to Qiao Jiayue, "Yue'er, what do you think?

According to local custom, the old man will perform another ritual in the third year of his death, which means that the filial piety period is over.

So if Qiao Jiayue doesn't get married this year, it will be the year after next.

Qiao Jiayue thought for a while, "A-Niang, anyway, we are engaged now, just wait for marriage to get married, and this time is just right to concentrate on developing your career." ”

Qiao's mother thought that her daughter would choose to get married early, after all, she was not young, and when she was nearly thirty years old the year after next, the risk of having a child increased.

Qiao's mother broke these truths and told Qiao Jiayue, hoping that she would change her mind, "Why don't you discuss it with Xiaoying?"

"I feel like he'll respect my choice. Qiao Jiayue said affirmatively.

Qiao's mother sighed, "I think you better have a good chat, don't quarrel over this." ”

Qiao Jiayue was silent and didn't speak.

According to her idea, they will get engaged first, and if they get married, it will be the end of the year, so it's just right.

But no one wants this kind of irresistible external force to happen.

"I don't know why, you don't want to get married, is it because I and your Abba have set some bad example for you?"

Qiao's mother said regretfully that she knew that her children would be so procrastinating, and when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, she should have urged them to go on a blind date and fall in love like everyone else.

"Auntie, don't think about it, this has nothing to do with you and Abba. Qiao Jiayue shook her head hurriedly, she thought for a while and said, "Maybe our minds are not on this." ”

Qiao's mother sighed, "This time your grandfather died, and while we felt uncomfortable, we also felt the decay of our bodies. Yue'er, you and I are old. ”

Qiao's mother's fluttering words successfully made Qiao Jiayue's eyes gather tears.

"I ......" The age of the parents is there, and the wind and frost of the years have long been stuck on the face, Qiao Jiayue can't say anything like you are still young to deceive herself.

Qiao's mother patted Qiao Jiayue's head, "Think about it, I'll go talk to your eldest brother." ”

Qiao Jiayue watched Qiao's mother walk out of her room to talk to Qiao Hongzhi, and it was expected that the eldest brother would not be able to escape the forced marriage.

After so many years, Qiao's mother finally couldn't help it, and she also recited the mantra of urging marriage.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Qiao Jiayue opened it and saw that Deng Ying was standing at the door with a cup of hot water, "Drink something to warm up?"

"Come in. Qiao Jiayue stepped aside and let Deng Ying into the room, moved the stool in front of the table to him, and sat on the bed by herself.

Deng Ying put the enamel cup on the table, and when he saw Qiao Jiayue's eyes a little red, he couldn't help shrinking in his heart: "What's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm not uncomfortable. Qiao Jiayue shook her head, she stared at Deng Ying, his eyes were full of his own reflection, and he was still full of concern.

"I think my Abba and Auntie are old. Qiao Jiayue curled her feet and lowered her chin to her knees.

She stared at him tightly, "My aunt thinks it's best for us to get married during the hot filial piety period, what do you think?"

Deng Ying couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Are you just worrying about this?" He stepped forward and touched Qiao Jiayue's head, "Why do you want to rush it? Without those rituals, would you change your mind?"

Qiao Jiayue shook her head, "How could it be?" She wasn't the kind of person who was half-hearted.

"Then don't dwell on it, okay? As long as our relationship doesn't break up, what if we don't get married?"

Qiao Jiayue looked up at Deng Ying, he looked at herself, her eyes were full of seriousness, she knew that what he said was true.

She wiped away the sourness in her eyes, this is her lover!

"Do you want to eat? I brought a lot of dried fruits, all of which are specialties from the Northeast. Deng Ying thought, if you are in a bad mood, it would be good to eat something delicious.

"Good. Qiao Jiayue put on her shoes and went to rummage through her luggage with Deng Ying, what did she want to do so much, in short, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, everything will be natural.

Qiao's mother and Qiao Hongzhi didn't talk very happily, Qiao Hongzhi kept calling her haha, saying that she would find a daughter-in-law to come back soon, and Qiao's mother was very helpless.

In contrast, Qiao Hongliang is simply too well-behaved, and his daughter-in-law and children are in place in one step.

Third Uncle Qiao was very surprised that Qiao's father came to find him, to be honest, this second brother has always been different from them, and it turned out to be the same.

He asked Aunt Qiao to cook and fry two dishes, and beckoned Qiao's father to drink.

Father Qiao thought that their brother had indeed not sat down for a good chat for a long time, so he did not refuse.

In fact, the two brothers can't talk about it now, and it is Qiao's father who is cooperating with Uncle Qiao to talk about farming.

Qiao's father has been a captain anyway, and he has also worked farming, and now that the fields are divided into households, he also has a lot of ideas, and he has a chat while drinking, as for whether Uncle Qiao has taken it to heart, it is not something that others can control.

Third Uncle Qiao wants a better future in the end, and he also hopes that his children can be better than their parents.

At the end of the wine, Third Uncle Qiao couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

"Second brother, I know that you are a capable person, and our brigade can't trap you in this place. ”

"I thought, if you find any opportunities out there, can you give my kids a hand and give them a chance. If they can't grasp it, it's their fate. ”

Third Uncle Qiao doesn't like to ask for help, but when he reaches a certain age, he also understands that it is difficult for people like them to find a way, and there is no chance, even if they have the ability, what is the use?

Father Qiao nodded, "At the beginning of these two years, there are still fewer opportunities. As for the factory, to see how the nephews and nieces study, they still have to have a foundation, and the exam is not simple. ”

He made it clear that he would not open the back door.

Aunt Qiao was listening on the side, she couldn't help but pout, without opening the back door, how did Aunt Qiao's twins get in?

But now she is also smart, and she knows how to weigh the pros and cons of what to say and what not to say.

In fact, Aunt Qiao really wronged the twins, and the twins were admitted by their own skills.

Not to mention Qiao's fourth aunt, even Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were very surprised, but it turned out that the night school study in the months before they came back was still effective.

The twins have their own dreams, but they also know now that some things are not something that can be done if they want to, such as capital and the environment.

They don't have enough money to realize their dreams, so they can only work and earn money in peace.

The year and a half they spent in Beijing was not without any gains, at least they understood that they had to keep learning all the time, because they didn't know when what they learned would come in handy.

What they are doing now may not be what they want to do the most, but who is to say that the experience and skills they have learned from it will not help them in the future?
