Before Ding Hongxing asked why Sun Bingcheng dropped out of school, Du Jun had already returned with Sun Bingcheng on his bicycle.

Sun Bingcheng was wearing a worn white vest on his upper body, with five big red characters printed on his back that had faded "The People's Commune is good", and a pair of green military pants that had also faded on his lower body, with his trouser legs pulled up to his thighs, a straw hat on his head, and his feet were simply barefoot, and his calves were full of dried mud that had formed a shell.

Sun Bingcheng jumped off Du Juncai's bicycle and said to Ding Hongxing: "Hongxing, squad leader, study committee, why are you here?" ”

Ding Hongxing smiled: "It's not that I heard that you are not ready to go to school, so we specially came to see what the situation is." ”

Originally, Sun Bingcheng was still very happy to see the three of them, after all, they were classmates for two years, and they hadn't seen each other for more than two months, so they still missed it very much, but when he heard Ding Hongxing's words, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Grandma Sun brought a big bowl of water to Sun Bingcheng and Du Juncai, and Sun Bingcheng picked up the bowl and drank all the water in the bowl.

After putting down the bowl, Sun Bingcheng looked at Ding Hongxing and smiled bitterly.

Ding Hongxing smiled: "Why, it's not easy to say in front of us?" ”

Sun Bingcheng shook his head and said, "I'm really ashamed!" ”

Sun Bingcheng talked about what happened, it turned out that the daughter of a deputy director of the township credit cooperatives fell in love with Sun Bingcheng and wanted to marry him, so the deputy director found someone to come to the door to talk to the matchmaker, saying that as long as Sun Bingcheng married his daughter, his family did not want a bride price, and he could also give a large amount of dowry, in addition, he could also arrange Sun Bingcheng to work as an accountant at their village credit station.

Such a condition is something that the Sun family can't refuse, their family is so poor, Sun Bingcheng has two older brothers, both in their twenties, not married, and a younger sister studying below, all of them need money.

The three young men in the family made the Sun family frown, especially the two above, they have reached the age of marriage, but because the family is poor, they can't afford to kiss, and now it is rare to have a girl with such good conditions who is willing to marry Sun Bingcheng, not to mention the bride price, but also to paste a rich dowry, which means that the marriage of Sun Bingcheng's two elder brothers has also fallen, not to mention that Sun Bingcheng can also be the accountant of the village credit station, although this is not a formal employee of the credit union, but it is also a job that everyone envies. At least Sun Bingcheng got rid of his identity as a mud leg, and with the help of his father-in-law, there is great hope for him to become a regular employee of the credit union in the future.

So, without much consideration, the Sun family made the decision to let Sun Bingcheng drop out of school and go home to get married.

Qin Hong and Lu Chaohui were both dumbfounded, this kind of thing has gone beyond the scope of their cognition, in the words of twenty years later, it will ruin their three views!

Ding Hongxing was not surprised, he thought about it and asked, "Bingcheng, do you like that girl yourself?" ”

Sun Bingcheng didn't speak, and Du Jun shouted: "I like a fart, that Du Xiaoxiang is fat and ugly, how can Bingcheng like her?" She is also very scheming, knowing that Bingcheng's two brothers are waiting to get married, and deliberately use this as a threat, Bingcheng and his father asked if they could wait for Bingcheng to take the college entrance examination before talking about it, she refused, she knew that if Bingcheng was admitted to college, she would look down on her even more! ”

Sun Bingcheng shook his head painfully.

Ding Hongxing asked again: "Bingcheng, did your family ask you to drop out of school and go home, and asked for your opinion?" ”

Sun Bingcheng looked at the grandmother next to him, but he still didn't say anything, he lowered his head, his two hands were twisted together, and the thick bone joints were pinched white by himself.

Ding Hongxing didn't need him to answer, he knew that in the face of such an irresistible condition, did his own opinion matter? This is tantamount to sacrificing one of them and fulfilling the whole family! What's more, his family may not think that this is a sacrifice, after all, if he gets married, his life will be better than now, and he can get a good job!

Qin Hong's face showed a look of indignation: "Sun Bingcheng, you can't drop out, your grades are good, you will definitely be able to get into college, why do you want to stay in this small place!" ”

Lu Chaohui also said: "Yes, if you marry someone who is not what you like, how painful it will be!" By the way, you're not old enough to get married, are you? ”

Sun Bingcheng smiled bitterly, Lu Chaohui is still too naïve! How many people in the countryside obey the marriage law? If the civil administration does not register, they will first create a de facto marriage, and then say that whether or not to have a marriage certificate is a trivial matter.

Ding Hongxing saw that Sun Bingcheng's grandmother's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly said to Qin Hong and Lu Chaohui: "Don't talk about it yet, let's wait for Bingcheng's parents to come back." You stay here, I went with Juncai to buy some food and came back, and we ate at Bingcheng's house at noon. ”

Sun Bingcheng's parents and two older brothers came back at more than 11 o'clock at noon, at this time, it is also the most intense time of the day, although it is September, but the autumn tigers in Guicheng are still very powerful, they come back at this time, eat, rest, avoid the period when the sun is the strongest, and then go to work in the afternoon.

As soon as they got home, they saw that the house was very lively, two beautiful girls one was sweeping the floor with a broom, and the other was wiping the table with a rag, and the grandmother hurriedly snatched the rag from Lu Chaohui who was wiping the table, she reproached Sun Bingcheng and said: "Bingcheng, why are you so ignorant and let the guests do these things!" ”

Sun Bingcheng is so wronged, of course he won't let Qin Hong and Lu Chaohui do these things, but they insist on doing it, what can he do?

Lu Chaohui said: "Auntie, it's okay, we often work at home and at school." ”

The grandmother heard the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen again, and there was a tempting aroma, but the mother-in-law was obviously sitting in the hall, and she asked suspiciously, "Mom, who is stir-frying in the kitchen?" ”

Grandma Sun said helplessly: "I'm not a sincere classmate, I bought a lot of vegetables, and let me rest, he went to stir-fry by himself, I didn't have to give him a hand, it was all made by these two girls, and when I was done, I went to the hall to sweep the floor and wipe the table." ”

The grandmother hurriedly came to the kitchen, and saw Ding Hongxing stir-frying, the stir-fry looked quite like that, and she grabbed the spatula from Ding Hongxing's hand: "Child, this is not what you do, let Auntie do it." ”

Ding Hongxing dodged his grandmother's hand and said with a smile: "Auntie, you have been working all morning, you are tired, you go and rest, I still have two dishes fried and can eat!" Don't worry, my cooking skills are still okay. ”
