The little uncle told Dongmei about the wedding day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dongmei counted the days of Chunmei's wedding, and said in her heart that it was okay not to conflict.
Hearing that Chunmei was getting married, the little uncle was interested. When he was in school, he and Chunmei were in the same school, Chunmei was a famous school flower in the school, and he asked Dongmei: "Where did Chunmei get married?" ”
When it comes to Chunmei's marriage, Dongmei is very optimistic, she told her brother-in-law: "Married to Yan Village." ”
The little uncle said, "Yan Village, it's not far from the hospital where I am. I also know a few young people from Yan Village, what is her old man's name?"
After a long time, two words burst out of Dongmei's mouth: "Yan Ning." ”
As soon as he heard Yan Ning, the little uncle stopped talking.
Dongmei also shook her head. At the beginning, she told Chunmei a lot of men with good conditions, but she didn't agree, either because she disliked others for being low, or because she disliked others for being too old-fashioned, or she just didn't feel it.
This Yan Ning is good, he is 1.8 meters tall, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like he is familiar with everyone he meets, he doesn't recognize life, and he has a good body, but the work in the field is not good, and he mixes and matches in the family planning office in the village.
At that time, family planning had become a national policy, and all women who had given birth, whether you wanted to or not, had to be forcibly sent to the nearest hospital for sterilization.
However, due to the poor medical conditions in rural areas, doctors have done things hastily, and many women who have undergone sterilization have been cured of lifelong diseases, which has caused great mental and life pressure for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, many women do not cooperate with sterilization operations, and some village cadres who are derelict in their duties, in order to complete their tasks, can only hire some ruffians from their villages, forcibly arrest people, and forcibly arrest women who are suitable for surgery but are unwilling to do surgery to the hospital for sterilization.
Rural people call these arresters the losers. And Yan Ning belongs to the ranks of this kind of losers.
The next day, Dongmei took her two children to her parents' house, and Wei Guo, as the main laborer, naturally stayed at home to do farm work.
At that time, unlike now, when you go to someone's house, you have to make a phone call in advance, and the host knows that the guests are coming.
And in those days, everything was random and accidental.
On the road to his grandmother's house, Tao Tao is very familiar, when he was a child, he followed his mother and did not know how many times he walked this road, came out of the head gate, walked out of the village along the east end, and walked along the canal after passing through the village school and health room, and at the end of the canal was the grandmother's village Yinjia Village, and the grandmother's house was at the easternmost end of the village.
When Dongmei jumped into her mother's house with the child, she found that the door was hidden and there was no one in the house.
At that time, because everyone was poor and there was nothing valuable at home, the door was generally unlocked after people went out.
Dongmei thought that her parents must have gone to the field to do farm work, and her younger brother Junjun loves business, so it is estimated that he will go to the county seat to do small business, and his brother has already separated from his parents and lived in Xinyinjia Village.
Just when Dongmei was wondering where Chunmei went, a familiar figure walked in with a brand-new bicycle.
When Dongmei was pregnant and taking care of the child, and she couldn't be busy, Chunmei came over to help her sister a lot, so Dongmei, as an older sister, was more concerned about her sister's personal affairs.
When Dongmei saw Chunmei wearing a pair of bell-bottoms and pushing a bicycle in, she felt that her sister was really beautiful.
She rushed up and tightly held Chunmei Lou in her arms.
The two children also rushed over happily when they saw their aunt, and shouted sweetly: "Aunt Chunmei, Aunt Chunmei ......." ”
Chunmei looked at her sister excitedly and said, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a few years, why do I think you have become younger, younger than me?"
Dongmei smiled and said: "I'm in my thirties, where is your twentieth person young." ”
Chunmei pulled Dongmei to the house and said, "Why did the skin on your face become so white and tender, when you used to use alabaster at home, it wasn't so white, tell me honestly, what kind of face oil do you use?"
Dongmei touched her face, and then touched her sister's face, her face was more tender than hers, she said: "I will smear the labor protection oil issued by the defense unit on my face." ”
Chunmei said: "Lao Baoyou is a good oil." ”
Dongmei said: "The people in the unit say that the old oil retention is not good, and I am blackened, but you still say that my face is white?"
After speaking, the two sisters smiled and sat on the fiery kang.
Chunmei found a mirror and put it in front of the two of them. In the mirror, Dongmei was surprised to find that compared with her sister, the skin on her face was really whiter than her sister and tenderer than her sister.
Dongmei was puzzled, and thought that it was really the old oil issued by the unit that was better than the alabaster used by rural people.
The actual situation is that since Dongmei left the countryside, she rarely works under the sun, and spends most of her time in the house, the wind does not blow, the sun does not shine, and her skin is naturally better than that of her sister who works in the field every day.
Seeing this, Chunmei shouted noisily, asked Dongmei to give him a few bottles of labor protection oil, and said that he would never use alabaster again.
Alabaster cream is actually a very good skin care product, which is logically much better than the old oil retention used by oil workers.
Alabaster first appeared in Shanghai in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century, it will disappear immediately when rubbed on the face, and it will melt and resemble the snow and skin, hence the name.
Hearing that her sister promised to give her alabaster, the stinky Chunmei was overjoyed, so she simply stood up from the hot kang and showed off her bell bottoms in front of her sister and said, "Sister, how do you look at these bell bottoms, do they look good?"
Dongmei looked at her sister's slender legs and said, "It's good-looking, the legs are straight, it looks good when you wear it, where did you buy it?"
Chunmei twisted in front of Dongmei and said, "I worked in the cooperative for a few months before I saved up money to buy these bell bottoms in the county?"
Hearing that she had saved up money for several months to buy bell bottoms, Dongmei thought to herself that these pants must be ridiculously expensive, and they must have been cheated by the boss who sold clothes.
So, she said to Chunmei: "Don't buy good clothes in the county in the future, pour several hands, the price must be expensive, next time you want to buy pants, tell me your size, when I came back from the unit, after the provincial capital, I went to the provincial city's rehabilitation road wholesale market to buy for you, where is the first hand of purchase, the cheapest." ”
Chunmei listened, nodded hurriedly and said, "Rehabilitation Road, I've also heard about it, next time you will definitely help me buy a pair of bell bottoms." ”
After speaking, Chunmei simply found paper and pen, and wrote down her waist circumference and size in detail on the paper.
Dongmei took Chunmei's paper, looked at it carefully, and said, "Young woman, just have a good figure." ”
Chunmei smiled and said, "Sister, you can also buy a pair of bell bottoms." ”
Dongmei hurriedly shook her head and said: "I'm a woman in my early thirties, I'm old, where is it like you young people who pursue fashion every day." ”
Tao Tao, who was listening attentively to the adults next to him, hurriedly interjected: "Mom, I'm also young, buy me a pair of bell bottoms." ”
Dongmei listened and said, "Your aunt is still young, you are old, and you can't wear it." ”
Hearing his mother say that he was old, Tao Tao couldn't figure it out, his aunt was older than him, how could he be young, he was so young, he was really old.
After a while, Dongmei's father walked into the door with a rack car, and Dongmei's mother also followed behind, resisting the hoe and walked in.
When the old couple saw their daughter and two grandsons, they couldn't close their mouths with joy.
Dongmei's mother took her daughter in her arms and said with relief: "Dongmei, you are married to the right person, we rural people are hard, in the field, working day and night for a year can not earn a few dollars, for our crops, as long as you go out of the countryside, it represents victory." After speaking, Dongmei's mother looked at Dongmei's face kindly.
In that era, when the planned economy had just ended, grain stamps had to be relied on to buy grain, and agricultural mechanization was seriously backward, the life of the rural people was much more difficult than it is now.
This was said to Dongmei's psychology, but Chunmei next to her heard her mother's words but didn't love it, she snorted and sat next to her to express her dissatisfaction.
Dongmei's mother turned her head and said to Chunmei: "I said Yan Ning, forget it, your father and I are not optimistic, the matchmaker told a guy from Wang Village, who works at the grain station, you go to meet each other!"
Chunmei shook her head like a rattle and said: "I saw the guy from Wang Village when I was in school, and his clothes are always patched, and he doesn't like to be clean. ”
Dongmei's mother said: "That was in the past, there were many babies in the family, and there were no clothes to wear, but now it's okay, the guys work in the grain station, eat commercial grain, no one wears it well, and the cloth shoes on their feet don't even touch the soil." ”
Chunmei simply lay down, slept on the kang and said: "Even if he changes his shoes every day, I just don't feel for him, you say you don't feel it, what if you smashed it together?"
Dongmei's mother retorted: "Then Yan Ning has feelings, I really can't understand what you young people feel?"
Dongmei's mother sighed and continued: "Although Yan Ning is tall, he is the eldest in the family, there are three elder sisters, his parents are old and good, he must have been spoiled by his parents, I also inquired about the people in Yan Village, Yan Ning still beat his father?"
Chunmei suddenly sat up, puffed her chest and said, "I don't believe that after I get married in the future, she will dare to beat me." ”
Dongmei's mother shook her head and said, "What about my good doll, the dog can't change the way of eating, he beats his father now, and he won't dare to beat you in the future?"
Mother has made it very clear, but Chunmei in love can't listen to it.
Dongmei, who was next to her, also followed her mother's words and persuaded Dongmei: "When you fall in love, you can put feelings first, but marriage is not child's play, and feelings are not the first consideration." ”
Chunmei still didn't listen.
No way, Dongmei can only cite her own examples and say: "Look at your brother-in-law, he is low, long and ugly, and he stutters when he speaks, you say, do you have any feelings for him?"
Hearing her sister belittle her brother-in-law so much, Chunmei finally listened to her face a little bit, and replied decisively: "I don't feel it." ”
Chunmei said: "It's right if I don't feel it, when I was your age, I didn't feel it, but I have feelings for your brother-in-law now, and the whole world only has feelings for him as a man." ”
Chunmei felt incredible, she frowned and asked, "Why?"
Dongmei said with a calm expression: "Because he can pick up the burden of a family, can be a good husband and a good father, and he doesn't beat women." ”
These words are easy to say, but it is difficult to fully understand them.
As a girl who is not married, of course Chunmei can't understand what Dongmei means, but in order to give Dongmei face, she pretended to understand and nodded on the surface, but she still liked Yan Ning in her heart.
Because Chunmei is the youngest child in the family, she has been pampered since she was a child, so her parents can't change her inner thoughts at all.
