Chapter 416: Urged to marry
In '75, at the beginning of May, the Takayama Brigade was thriving, and the reservoir to the east was completed last year, and the water surface was sparkling, with the occasional fish jumping up and down, causing ripples.
The creek to the west has also widened, and the banks have been strengthened so that there is a little less green on it.
Looking inside and outside the brigade, the fields and fields are full of people bending over to work, and tall bayberry trees are planted on the hill near the brigade......
In the Alpine Brigade in May, the weather was still a little cold, Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongliang had been back for two days, and they had to leave today.
Qiao Jiayue looked in the mirror and carefully applied homemade ointment to the red bumps on her chin.
Since her period, the red bumps on her face can no longer be hidden, and they have come out one after another.
It's also a loss that I have ointment, or I'm going to become a cat face, and it's hardly long in the past two years, only occasionally one or two pop up on the chin.
"Yue'er, are you alright?" Qiao Hongliang knocked on the door outside the house.
"Third brother, okay, okay, don't rush. Qiao Jiayue raised her voice and said.
She checked her satchel once more, and put in a thin jacket with pale yellow florals, just in case it would get too cold in the car.
Qiao Jiayue opened the door and saw Qiao Hongliang standing at the door, a few years have passed, his appearance has changed more and more, and the whole person has become more and more handsome, but his appearance is better than Pan An.
Qiao's mother sighed several times that Qiao Hongliang was like their grandmother.
This is the first time that they have grown up like this, and Qiao's mother has taken the initiative to mention her grandmother, and she always avoided talking about it when their brothers and sisters were curious.
Now that they are older, Qiao's mother still doesn't say much, which makes Qiao Jiayue and them curious.
Qiao's father has already gone to patrol the production team, and now that the commune wants to focus on production, their brigade is given high hopes, and the pressure is not small.
On the table were the dishes carefully prepared by Qiao's mother, especially the glass jars, which contained Qiao's mother's special meat sauce.
No matter who of their brothers and sisters comes back, Qiao's mother will survive a lot.
"Eat first, I asked people to go to the brigade headquarters just now to say hello, and the towing opportunity is waiting for you. Qiao's mother came out of the kitchen with another dish in her hand.
"Auntie, it's enough, you can't eat it if you cook it again. Qiao Jiayue looked at the several dishes on the table, and she and Qiao Hongliang couldn't finish it at all.
Qiao Hongliang nodded, "A-Niang, you can talk to us." ”
"That's it. Qiao's mother said with a smile that in the past few years, when several children are outside, when they send packages to their homes, they will always attach some rapeseeds.
After Hu Yueliang and Li A researched and planted, these rapeseeds left varieties suitable for the brigade, which greatly enriched the dinner table of the members.
Qiao's mother sat down at the table and watched the two children eat, and her eyes couldn't help but squint with joy.
In the past five years, many things have happened in the brigade, and it is not an exaggeration to say that things are wrong with people.
The changes in their family are the envy of everyone else.
After Qiao Hongyuan went to Quanshi, within three years, he found a job for Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongliang.
The brother and sister both left the Alpine Brigade and ate food from the city, which made the members of the club envious.
No one is jealous, and Qiao Hongyuan has not provided the brigade with information on urban recruitment over the years.
Whether you can pass the test or not, it depends on your own strength, and there are several children in the team who have passed, which makes those educated youths envious.
It's not that the brigade doesn't give them a certificate, but the factory says that if it doesn't recruit educated youth, no one can do anything.
Everyone is very grateful to Qiao Hongyuan, and there are too few people who can still have the spare strength to help the team when they go out.
In addition to giving away some of the output of their own land, the most enthusiastic way for members to express their gratitude is to be a matchmaker.
Qiao Jiayue's four siblings are well-known older young people in the team, and in the past few years, the matchmaker has stepped on the threshold, and they just don't get married.
This is unthinkable in the countryside where early marriage and early childbearing are made.
Many people in the brigade are also doing the ideological work of Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, so that they can persuade the four children more, not to mention the worry.
When Qiao Hongzhi went home to visit relatives last year, their brothers and sisters had a long talk and talked about many things.
It was the first time they met again after Qiao Hongzhi went to be a soldier, and the barrier of time and space did not make their relationship weaker, but became closer.
They talked to their parents for a long time about getting married, saying that they were still young and wanted to focus on other things.
The brothers and sisters are now well-known in several brigades in the vicinity, and many young people are also proud to learn from them.
This matter has made many old people anxious.
This time, when Qiao Jiayue came back and went to see Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao, she was told about her age, what is that she is already twenty years old, she is an old girl, and other people's girls have several babies, how old are the babies and so on.
From Qiao Jiayue sitting down to leaving the bench, this topic has not changed.
Except for Grandpa Qiao, Grandma Qiao said, uncles, cousins, cousins, cousins, etc., all came up, and in the end, Qiao Jiayue ran away, which was terrible.
Qiao's father and Qiao's mother are both enlightened parents, and they don't urge their children, so if their daughter doesn't get married, they don't get married, anyway, their family can't afford to raise them.
Even if people of the same generation are grandparents, they don't envy them, so let it be.
The main reason is that after New Year's Day this year, a certain leader returned to work, made frequent moves, and vigorously rectified the atmosphere.
A person with a keen sense of politics like Qiao's father can already feel a hint of the coming storm.
Social change may come in the blink of an eye, and then it must be a seismic change, after all, the more suppressed, the stronger the backlash.
At that point, many variables will be difficult to tell, and marrying too early will not necessarily be beneficial.
"I can't help but put these meat sauces, you can eat them early after you bring them. Qiao's mother instructed, "The weather is getting hotter, you are not greedy for cold, be careful of your body." ”
The child is leaving, and Qiao's mother always has endless words, "When you go, persuade Xiaoyuan to pay attention to your body and don't forget to eat." ”
Several children are not fat, but Qiao Hongyuan is getting thinner and thinner, and they are all like bamboo poles, how can Qiao's mother not feel distressed.
"Auntie, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let the second brother go hungry. Qiao Jiayue put down the bowl and touched her stomach, as if she had eaten too much, and she couldn't control her mouth when she went home.
When Qiao's mother saw it, she continued to persuade, "Yue'er eat a little more." ”
Qiao Hongliang on the side was about to put down his chopsticks, but when he heard Qiao's mother say this, he served himself another bowl of chicken soup.
"Auntie, I really can't eat it. Qiao Jiayue waved her hand, and when she was going to make a tractor, she was afraid that she would vomit out if she ate too much.
Qiao's mother is a little regretful, how can a few children not be fat?
In the past few years, the conditions in the brigade have improved a lot, and I can see fat people.
If there is a girl who is mellow, not only adults like it, but the matchmaker is definitely very diligent in coming to the door.
