Chapter 81: Into the City

The Hongtan River is home to dozens of villages, large and small, some on one side of the river and some on the other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tian Lili's village is just across the river, and she needs to cross the river to get home. There is no bridge on the riverbank, only a thick hemp rope connecting the two sides of the bank to the two dilapidated wooden boats on the river.

Liao Wenjie untied the rope of the wooden boat, jumped onto the boat, and reached out to help Tian Lili down.

"Wenjie, no need, I can go up by myself." She was still alone when she came, so squeamish.

Tian Lili didn't help him, Liao Wenjie didn't follow, the two have rarely seen each other since they got married, and the stepmother of her family didn't allow her to come out, nor did he go over, except for occasionally going over to meet him secretly, he hadn't seen her for a long time.

Seeing that Liao Wenjie still stretched out her hand, Tian Lili blushed and could only obediently stretch out her hand. On the road just now, she had already told Liao Wenjie about the dowry, but fortunately, he didn't say anything, and he didn't seem to be angry with himself.

How could Liao Wenjie blame her, he would only feel sorry for her, and he blamed himself for not being able to marry her earlier and let her get out of the family that no one loved at all.

The breeze blows, the water on the river is sparkling, and the face of the woman on the boat reflects the sunset, quiet and gentle.

Liao Wenjie remembered the first time they met, that day he happened to come back from looking at the foundation in another village, when he came to this river, it was raining heavily, and the wooden boats on the river were all pushed to the other side of the river, he wanted to call someone to help, but the rain was too strong and the people on the other side couldn't hear his shout.

Just as he was drenched in soup, a woman in Tsing Yi passed in front of him with an umbrella and a small ox, apparently grazing the cow outside the noodles.

Seeing her, Liao Wenjie didn't care much at all, and the girl fell back after passing by him, and stuffed the umbrella in her hand to him.

It was still raining, how could Liao Wenjie be embarrassed to accept someone else's umbrella, and when he opened his mouth to excuse himself, the girl directly put the umbrella on his shoulder, and hurriedly said, "My home is very close." So he led the little scalper and walked quickly.

With a cow in her hand, how could she walk fast, the girl gave up the umbrella to herself, and she was destined to get soaked when she got home.

At that time, Liao Wenjie didn't know what was wrong with him, he only knew that the position of the umbrella handle was held very hot by the girl, and the heat spread from the palm of his hand to his heart.

The rest of the things are going well, the umbrella is returned, there is a scheming coincidence, and the door is proposed, everything is so natural. He knew that the people of the Tian family were not easy to get along with, and they were all powerful eyes, but none of this had anything to do with her, he knew from the beginning that she was a good girl with a kind heart.

"Wen Jie, just send me here, walk a little more and you can see the door." When the boat docked, Tian Lili opened her mouth and called out to the man who had been immersed in memories, she didn't want her aunt to see that Liao Wenjie sent her back, otherwise her ears would not be quiet, those you will be like your shameless mother, if you don't pay attention, you will run away with people, it is difficult to listen to, and it is uncomfortable.

"Lili, wait a minute." Liao Wenjie saw that she was going ashore, and quickly stepped forward and hugged her.

Liao Wenjie called himself, Tian Lili turned around and crashed into his arms, the man's chest was wide and powerful, Tian Lili blushed suddenly, but now it was still in broad daylight, how bad it was for people to see.

"Wen Jie, what are you doing. Let go and be careful for others to see. ”

"I won't let go, not for the rest of my life. You wait for me, and tomorrow I will go to your house to discuss the wedding date. "I wanted to repair the house and then take her in, so that she could live more comfortably when she came in, but now Liao Wenjie doesn't want to wait for a moment.

Growing so big, it was the first time that Tian Lili felt important in this man, this time she blushed and her eyes were red, so she could only hug him hard.

In the evening, Liao Qingqing and Xiao Yue partnered to do business, and everyone else also knew. She who received everyone's amazed gaze, Ou Hongying was unwilling to take out the fifty yuan and spend it, saying that she wanted to store it there to prepare a dowry for her.

Money will be there later, and more. Liao Qingqing persuaded for a long time but failed, and finally it was Ou Hongying, who lent it to Liao Wenjie, to accept it.

The next day, Ou Hongying took Liao Wenjie to Tian's house, Tian Lili's stepmother is a powerful eye, and she has always disliked the Liao family's poverty, so she never gave them a good face from the moment she entered the door. It wasn't until Ou Hongying handed over the fifty yuan that she had a smile on her face, she originally thought that their Liao family was here to lower the price, but she didn't expect to be so generous this time.

The dowry was added, and the wedding date was set for October.

A few days later, Liao Qingqing also got the news brought to her by Xiao Yue, the opening day of the store was scheduled for the middle of the month, she asked Liao Qingqing to take a car early in the morning, and she was waiting for her at the station at that time.

In his previous life, Liao Qingqing had lived in the city for decades, and his familiarity with that place even exceeded that of Hongtan Village, so he must have no problem in the past.

And in the eyes of others in this life, she is still a girl who has never been out of town. Especially Ou Hongying, knowing that her daughter was going to the city, she was so nervous that she couldn't wait to kiss her and send her over, but unfortunately she didn't know a single word, and she felt that it was useless to go.

In this era, it takes more than five hours to go to the city by car, and there is a special car to the city in Maliu Town. In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, someone will pick you up as soon as you get off the bus, and the current society is quite stable, so you don't have to worry about it at all.

In the end, the family decided that Liao Wenjie would send Liao Qingqing into the city, because the car into the city would go on the same day and return the next day, so they still needed to stay in the city for one night.

Now that many policies have been opened in this era, except for some special people, such as educated youths in the countryside, or going to some special places, ordinary people don't need a letter of introduction to take a car and stay in a hotel.

On that day, the two of them set off before dawn with torches, and when they went to the town, the sky was white.

Nowadays, the cars going to the city car are still very old, there are no chairs in the carriage, only two special wooden benches, and a large empty space is left in the middle for standing people or stacking goods, and there is also an iron frame on the roof for placing items. Most of the people who can go to the city are people who do business in the town, and go to the city at a fixed time every month to buy goods, or some official officials go on business trips.

Nowadays, the car and transport jobs are still state-run, and the drivers who can drive here are all jobs.

When Liao Qingqing's brother and sister got into the car, Xia Yongxing happened to be on duty with someone, and the two people in front of them were getting in the car and didn't see the scene outside, but Xia Yongxing saw Liao Qingqing clearly.

"Brother Xing, why don't you leave?" She Xiangyun was looking down at the record book in his hand, and he bumped into Xia Yongxing's back without paying attention.

"Don't worry, I just remembered that there is still a little matter, I will go back and make a call first, you guys are waiting here." Xia Yongxing explained to everyone and went back to the office, although he was reluctant to do some things, there was no way to do it.
