Chapter 3 The Long History of the Xu Family II

When his mother's vacation was about to end, the family booked a family affair for Xu Heqi, not far from a family in Majiazhuang, the girl on the other side had no mother, only a father and a younger brother, and the younger brother also dropped out of school early to work. www.biquge.info Coincidentally, the girl was Xu Heqi's junior high school classmate, and because there were fewer students in the village, several villages shared a middle school. Xu Herer met on the day of the wedding wine, thin and tall, not outstanding, and a little unworthy of him with his brother, but the girl bowed her head and looked shy with her brother, even if Xu Herr didn't understand it at that time, she knew that the girl really liked her brother.

After the marriage, Meng Fangtian began to renovate the family house, and it was all handed over to her grandfather and grandmother, and she had to go back to Shanghai. The original three bungalows of the Meng family were expanded into six rooms on two floors, and the kitchens and bathrooms were repaired in the courtyard, and air conditioners, solar water heaters and cable TV were installed.

During the winter vacation of his junior year of high school, Meng Fangtian deliberately took 5 more days off and stayed at home for 15 days just to get married to his son. The woman asked for 60,000 bride price, which was not much on their side, Meng Fangtian took out all the year's salary, but Xu Heqi was only willing to give 40,000, when the marriage was made, the Xu family had already given the woman 36,000 yuan, and the woman returned 6,000, this time the woman asked for 60,000, but she would also bring it all back, so that both parties looked good, but Xu Heqi was only willing to give 40,000, and the wedding was at an impasse for a while.

The woman's aunt is a little reluctant, and now she is marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside, which family is not politely coaxing the woman, Xu Heqi is good, and she even wants to save this money, so Ma Hongmei's aunt wants to regret her marriage. In their place, if the girl is without a mother, the marriage is generally taken care of by other female elders, so Ma Hongmei's aunt has the absolute right to speak and make decisions in this matter. But Ma Hongmei liked Xu Heqi very much, so she came up with an idea, and promised Xu Heqi a 40,000 bride price in the name of funding Xu Heer's university entrance examination next year. This makes the aunt have nothing to say, no matter how mixed she is, she can't rob Xu Heqi of this money.

Meng Fangtian was very satisfied with Ma Hongmei's handling of it, through this incident, she liked Ma Hongmei even more, but Xu Herer always felt a little uncomfortable, and it was the first time that someone had been pulled out to lie down. On the eve of the wedding, Meng Fangtian took his three children and Ma Hongmei, the daughter-in-law, to her husband's grave to pay respects, so that her husband could meet the new members of the family. Meng Hui's grave is buried on the mountainside, and the heavy rain has almost wiped out his grave in recent years, and last year Xu Heqi rebuilt his father's grave and planted a monument to make this tomb look decent.

The wedding was very lively, Xu Herer was assigned by the family to pick up the bride, watching Ma Hongmei wearing a white wedding dress, with a thick foundation on her face, smiling and greeting her and other relatives, she was in a trance, and from now on Ma Hongmei will become a new member of the family. She has always been very sensitive to changes in her family, a few years ago, her aunt got married, and to this day she can't call her aunt's husband uncle, she always calls his name behind her back, and now it's the same, she can't call Ma Hongmei the word sister-in-law.

Ma Hongmei has a group of little sisters, several of whom are junior high school classmates, and they joked on the side that she might have fallen in love with Xu Heqi when she was in school, otherwise she wouldn't have married him so easily. Ma Hongmei just smiled, but she didn't deny that she had dreamed of such a wedding for a long time, even if Xu Heqi didn't like her so much.

After Ma Hongmei got married, three days after returning to the door, Meng Fangtian's vacation came to an end, she had to rush back to Shanghai, before leaving, she also deliberately brought some rural specialties and her son's candy, last year she brought back the bacon and salted fish was very much the appetite of the young master, so this year she brought some more.

The scorching heat of June swept in, and Xu Herer also stepped into the examination room of the college entrance examination, Meng Fangtian had no way to come back, and Xu Heran asked for leave to accompany the examination in the county seat. In the past two days, Xu Heran made a bunk on the floor, because her sister's bed in the rented single room was only a 0.8-meter-wide single bed, she was afraid that she would squeeze her sister and let her sleep badly. Xu Her's three meals a day are all prepared by Xu Heran, because she is in the school exam, so she can take a nap at noon, after the nap Xu Heran also prepared yogurt and fruit, after the afternoon exam, the two sisters went to the big playground not far away for a walk, relax.

On the afternoon of the day Xu Herer finished the exam, the classmates agreed to go to KTV to celebrate, and Xu Heran gave his sister 300 yuan. In the KTV, the male classmates ordered beer, because Xu Her's class is the school's experimental class, and the quality of boys and girls is not bad, but Xu Her never likes to sing, on such an occasion, she can only eat some fruit on the table and chat with the surrounding classmates.

There are also male classmates who have the courage to confess, and Yang Fan, Xu Her's tablemate, met him. Yang Fan is a girl from the county seat, a member of the study committee in the class, a wide range of books and a little boyish, and mingles with boys, so it is not surprising that some people like her. But Yang Fan didn't accept that male classmate, now that she has just finished the exam, who knows where everyone is in college, life has not yet begun, she doesn't want to tie herself up.

After the end, Yang Fan hugged Xu Heer and several other female classmates and separated. There was a boy from Wu Ming next to Xu Her, and they lived relatively close, so everyone asked her to send Xu Her back. Wu Ming asked her where she wanted to go to university, and Xu Hel blurted out: Shanghai! Wu Ming said that he also wanted to take the test there, after all, Shanghai is an international metropolis, and it is only a little more than 2 hours away from the high-speed rail.

On June 24th, you can check the results on the Internet, Xu Herer saw her score in the dirty Internet café, which is 89 points higher than the admission score line, which means that she is likely to be admitted to the best university in the country, but Xu Herer still chose the college in Shanghai because her mother is there.

On June 30th, Xu Her will apply for the school entrance examination, four parallel volunteers, the first three filled in the university in Shanghai, and the last one filled in the university in the province, the mother and older brothers and sisters did not understand the major she applied for at all, or the grandmother Fang Meng accompanied her granddaughter to read the application guide issued by the school and the reference materials on the Internet. No one knows that when Xu Herer was very young, Fang Meng often instilled in her the idea of going to Shanghai for university entrance examinations, she has been rooted here all her life, but she still hopes to return to her hometown one day in the future. Since Fang Meng chose to marry Meng Hui, the family has not been in contact often, and she hopes that her little granddaughter can find her relatives in Shanghai for her.

On July 23, Xu Herer found his admission information from the Internet, Xu Herer was admitted to F University, majoring in Chinese, which made her grandfather quite dissatisfied, a rural old man who did not know a few big words, most hoped that his granddaughter would study nothing more than a doctor or teacher, and the job bowl would be stable in the future, especially doctors, and they could also let their granddaughter see themselves in the future, killing two birds with one stone.

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, the matter had come to this, and Xu Her's grandfather had no choice but to accept his fate. Although Meng Fangtian could not come back, Xu Heqi and his wife still invited many relatives to celebrate Xu Heer's admission to university, and even the village sent a representative to send 3,000 yuan to Xu Heer.
