Chapter 146 'faint' marriage
Let go of Ling'er's side and talk about the Lin family's incident some time ago.
The young man of the Lin family is a junior high school student, and the family conditions are one and two in ten villages, the young man is called Lin Zhisheng, and after graduating from junior high school, he worked in a garment factory in the city under his father's arrangement, working by piecework, with an income of two or three thousand yuan per month, plus his father is an electrician in ten villages, and the income is very considerable.
Lin Qing, in his forties, has a fat face and a figure, and the first thing he does when he gets up every morning is to make tea first, and then smoke. Smoking is also a science, as long as he lights a cigarette, he does not need to draw a second match except for eating.
The two-story western-style building at home, five rooms up and down, quadrangle house, high gate, more × than the village chief and village secretary, we don't write indecent words, where the righteous people have roast chicken and beer to eat, ribs stewed at will, what kind of life will it be. Of course, if each person in ten natural villages receives a few extra yuan per month per family, what kind of happy life will it be.
One morning, Lin Qing and his son each rode a motorcycle to Zhou Xing's house, mentioning a Hepu er, a tin box Xifeng, and as soon as they entered the door, they met Chi'er.
"Sister Chi'er, is Brother Zhou Guang at home?" Lin Qing is very kind, beer belly.
"Brother Lin, yo, this is a nephew, really handsome, or working in the city?" Chi'er praised and said, it's not amazing, the young man looks close to 1.80 meters, his eyes are heavy, and the movie is bright.
The two families have dealings, Chi'er's father and Lin Qing's father are comrades-in-arms in the Liberation War, and the relationship is naturally linked, to be honest, Zhou Guang is very disgusted, because he loves Chi'er, he can talk about it, and he will move around. Because Lin Qing drank the blood of the people.
"I was still in a garment factory in the city, and now I am in the quality inspection department." Lin Zhisheng said. The young man spoke very neatly.
"Let you break the bank, such a valuable gift, you deserve it." Chi'er said.
"It's all given by someone else, and I can afford it. Share it with writers. Lin Qing lit a cigarette, and his teeth were tungsten gold.
The three of them walked into the house and sat down. Lin Zhisheng is very clever. Go make tea.
"It's time to get engaged, right?" Chi'er asked. Speaking from seeing, things are in so I think.
"If you can't be high, if you're low, you'll come for this." Lin Qing smoked a cigarette.
"Voice, there are a lot of girls in the garment factory, so you haven't caught a single one?" Chi'er asked with a smile.
"It's all city girls, impure." Lin Zhisheng said. It's still a country girl, pure. Lin Zhisheng said.
"I've taken a fancy to that girl, I'll give you a match." Chi'er smiled. I know that he wants to get engaged in the mountains.
"Li Kaizhong's family has a daughter on the back slope of the tail village, or you can take a trip. Sister Chi'er. Lin Qing continued to take a second cigarette.
"I'm not at home, I left last year, but I didn't send money to my family, planted dozens of acres of orchards, and worked as a clerk in an investment company, only when she came back, I would be sure." Chi'er said.
"Don't panic. It's only the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'm saying hello to you. Don't let the secretary's big greedy thing take the lead to give it to Erden first. Lin Qing was very serious: "Our children are better than his." ”
"Fair competition, the secretary will definitely give you face." Chi'er said: "It's okay, this little thing, she will come back and say, the girl is not at home, there is no way to decide." ”
"You can rest assured about the bride price. The number of a large scalper. Lin Qing guaranteed the ticket.
"As long as the two children agree, it is basically nine days away from ten." Chi'er said, seek truth from facts.
"Then, I won't wait for Brother Zhou Guang, Mid-Autumn Festival. If you have a good relationship, you have to go, especially the secretary's house. Lin Qing got up and walked out, Chi'er sent his father and son, to the gate, oh, two brand-new Senke mountain bikes, there are cars.
"Goodbye, Auntie." Lin Zhisheng is very smart and polite.
The two of them got into the car, turned on the electric start, and went to the secretary's house with a smoke.
In winter, no book is written by coincidence, the sky is cloudy and snowing for a few days, Grandma Butterfly's leg hurts, Butterfly called Chi'er's mobile phone, Chi'er came to inject Grandma Butterfly, and met Ling'er and Butterfly playing together.
"Isn't this Ling'er, more and more handsome, when did you come back?" After Chi'er packed the outpatient box, she saw Ling'er and butterflies from the East House? Falling in the snow walked in and said.
"Doctor Chi'er, it's me, I'm Ling'er, I've just been back for a day, I haven't gone home yet, I've been from the same school." Ling'er was polite, like in the company.
"Will you leave after the Spring Festival?" Chi'er asked heartily.
"Let's see." Ling'er smiled, it was very difficult: "The outside world is not easy to break into. ”
"Do you have any thoughts of getting engaged at home? If you have, my sister will choose a handsome guy for you. Chi'er asked.
"You have to ask my parents about this, as long as they are good." Ling'er said, slightly ashamed.
"That's it, the voice of Lin Jialin in a village, I want to have one, a junior high school student, in the quality inspection department of a garment factory in the city, with a figure of nearly 1.80 meters, heavy eyes, white-faced scholars, and sought-after goods." Chi'er said and laughed, and became a melon seller. This melon is very sweet, not bitter.
"We are junior high school classmates, but I don't know if he is so tall now, he will not be ugly." Ling'er said.
"This is a good thing, taking advantage of the beauty of people, accumulating virtue and cultivating blessings." Grandma Butterfly said.
"When am I going to your house?" Chi'er asked Ling'er.
"Two days later, I'll play with my classmates for two days." Ling'er said. She's back to normal.
"That's it." Chi'er carried the medical box on her back and walked away in the snow.
"Sister Chi'er, walk slowly." The butterfly asked, a smug smile creeping up the face.
Two days later, Chi'er went to Li's house. This family business, the Li family is happy, the Lin family is naturally willing, sent a bride price of 3,000, gifts of double eight colors, went to the city to take pictures, registered, and then chose November 26 to marry, everything went very smoothly, but Ling'er's gray child did not eat for two days and shed tears.
On the night before getting married, Ling'er finally couldn't hold back her work, and when she said goodbye to her parents, she told her what happened outside, and her parents were surprised. Oh my mother!
“… You, are you pregnant? Mom's fingers trembled, and she pointed at Ling'er and asked.
"I haven't had a period in two months. Ling'er stood at the door of the inner room.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, you girl who doesn't make money, what you said earlier will go to flow, and you will get married at the end of the year." Mom sat down in her chair all of a sudden.
"But, it's a life! Ling'er regained her will.
“… What's the life, the face is worth a thousand gold, you let your father's face go there, squatted down with a butt bone, sat by the stove and smoked, maybe thinking about his jujube bark face.
"If you are willing to withdraw from the marriage, the guests of the ten miles and eight villages over there have all posted a post to eat and drink." Mom said in despair.
"Only by marrying can we save face on both sides, and besides, the child of the Lin family may not be able to understand things in bed." A thousand hammers hit the gong, and the final word is heard. Li Kaizhong said.
"Who else knows about this?" Mom asked, even though it was winter, her face was steaming.
"No one knows." Ling'er didn't say that the butterfly knew, because the butterfly wouldn't say it.
"Your life is your own, if you find something strange over there, you will jump off the love cliff and die!" Li Kaizhong was very ruthless: "In this way, I will say that his family forced you to death, keep your reputation, your father's old face, and let your brother, sister-in-law and nephew raise their heads and be people." "Li Kaizhong thinks really big.
Ling'er slowly walked out of the door of the inner room, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and knelt in front of her mother and father: "You gave me life, you can take it at any time, I will listen to my parents." Ling'er burst into tears, but there was no crying.
"Crying, crying, crying swollen eyes and nose, what does it look like, there is still an hour, the Lin family will come to pick up people and put on makeup." Li Kaizhong said sternly, pulled his wife from the chair, and went to the old couple's room in the east.
The water on the stove boiled, gurgling and overflowing, and it creaked and squeaked on the iron stove.
The butterfly walked in and saw Ling'er kneeling, so she knew that Ling'er didn't hold on and told her parents about her pregnancy. She didn't care about the pot opening, and pulled Ling'er into the west room, which was Ling'er's boudoir.
"What's going on?" Butterfly asked.
"......" Ling'er burst into tears.
"Talking, crying, when is it?" The butterfly was anxious, and her face was as red as if she was on fire.
"It's okay, it's sad to say goodbye." Ling'er prevaricated.
"Don't say it, forget it, let's put on makeup! There was still an hour before dawn. Butterfly said.
The butterfly put on makeup for her, tied her hair, tied flowers, inserted hairpins, put on a red cheongsam, painted her face with powder, and the tears disappeared.
The brother and sister-in-law also got up from the east room and concentrated the dowry and daily necessities, the teapot, the six shops and six covers, and other indemnities.
Chi'er is also here, let's see how the preparations are here.
"Sister Chi'er, I've bothered you." Ling'er wanted to kneel down and snort, but was pulled by Chi'er. This is the genus of rites.
"I'm going to see how the pick-up went? Chi'er said.
"Just wait for seven carts to pull the lady." Butterfly smiled and said, as a common saying, there is no other meaning.
The corners of Ling'er's lips twitched, and she smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry, I'll see you right away in a while." Chi'er said.
While speaking, in front of the gate and in the courtyard, it was as bright as day, three salutes rang out, followed by firecrackers, and Ling'er's heart throbbed and was uneasy.
Gray didn't scream, and at some point came to the room, standing, looking at Ling'er's face, no one knew what she was thinking, an animal.
