Lao Zhao opened a photo studio but the business was not very good, he thought that there were two reasons for the bad business, one was that the location of the photo studio was too partial, and the other was that the money earned from opening a photo studio was enough to support his family, and it was difficult to make a fortune, so he didn't want to make a living in a photo studio anymore.

Lao Zhao had a friend who made a fortune by running a printing house, and when he saw that others had made a fortune by opening a printing house, he was not only envious but anxious, and he also pondered about opening a printing house by himself. However, opening a printing factory is not so simple, first of all, it requires a lot of money to buy machinery and equipment, and secondly, it needs to rent a factory, and some working capital, which he does not have. Gui Fang and Gui Xiang persuaded their father not to worry, to run the photo studio first, and then talk about running a printing house after accumulating funds, but Lao Zhao felt that this was too slow, and business opportunities waited for no one. In order to raise funds, Lao Zhao sold the photo studio and borrowed some money from a few friends, which together was not enough to open a printing house, which made him anxious enough, and he was sad all day long.

One day Gui Fang suddenly said to Lao Zhao: "Dad, my eldest is not too big to get married, Hongxing has always liked me, and I like him too, you can go to Wang's house to propose marriage to me and Hongxing!" ”

Lao Zhao shook his head like a wave drum when he heard it, no! This is absolutely not a no-go! He said to Gui Fang: "Gui Fang, I was kicked out by the Wang family, and if I go back to propose marriage, what a shame!" Besides, we took a lot of black money from their family, so it's better for us to lose people and not see them! Now that I'm planning to start a printing shop, I really don't have time to worry about you. I will definitely make a lot of money by running a printing house, and when I make a fortune, you will be the daughter of my old Zhao family, what kind of good man can't be found! Why do you have to hang yourself on Wang Hongxing's tree? ”

Gui Fang retorted: "Dad, you have a sweet dream! Starting a printing shop is not an easy task, what do you have to do without money? Besides, it's not easy to get rich, if you really get rich, I, the yellow flower girl, will already become an old woman that no one wants! ”

Lao Zhao still shook his head. He said: "Girl, you want to marry into the Wang family, their Wang family is very proud, can they look down on you?" ”

"Dad, this new society is all about equality, rich and poor are on an equal footing! How can the poor be afraid of the rich? And those rich people still want to give us poor people three points! I just don't understand, what are you afraid of when you come to Wang's house to propose marriage to me? What kind of face can you lose? I'll leave you with the words today: Anyway, I'm not married! After Gui Fang finished speaking, she pursed her lips angrily and sat on the edge of the bed.

But no matter what Gui Fang said, Lao Zhao just didn't want to go to Wang's house to propose marriage to his daughter, so he impatiently prevaricated: "This matter is not in a hurry!" Gui Fang. In the realm around us, you are one of the most beautiful girls in a hundred, if you stand on the embroidery tower like in ancient times and throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives, you will definitely be able to attract all the singles in the city! Are you afraid that you won't be able to get married in the future? Listen to me, the deal that is in a hurry is not a good deal! Let's put aside the matter between you and Hongxing first. ”

Gui Fang helplessly pointed to her stomach and said, "Dad, the matter between me and Hongxing can't be delayed any longer, I'm already two months pregnant, how can I not marry him!" ”

"Huh? That kid made your belly bigger! Surprised, Lao Zhao's big eyes stared at Gui Fang's stomach, he shook his head and said, "It's not like it!" “

Gui Fang was embarrassed to cover her stomach with her hands and said, "Dad." I'm only two months pregnant and I haven't shown my form yet, how can you tell! ”

Lao Zhao was in a hurry now, "Ouch! I didn't expect the two of you to do such a shameful and conspicuous thing behind your back! What do I have to do? ”

Gui Fang asked puzzled: "Dad, you should be happy to have a grandson!" Why are you so angry? ”

Lao Zhao was so angry with Gui Fang that he trembled. He jumped to his feet and scolded Gui Fang: "Fart! You are a big girl who has not been out of the cabinet and suddenly has a big belly, the girl is not married yet, and she will hug her grandson when she is a father? You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed! ”

Gui Fang said disappreciably: "Dad." You don't know about me and Hongxing, it's a matter of time before you get a big belly! ”

Lao Zhao patted his thigh and said in an almost crying voice: "Ouch! My Guifang, why don't you know shame? What you're doing behind your backs doesn't know to others. Just do it, but after a few days, you won't be able to hide it from others when your belly is big! If you let the neighbors know about this, they will drown you with a single spit! ”

"Dad, this mouth grows on other people's heads, if they want to say it, let them say it! As the saying goes: don't you plant crops if you listen to the crickets? ”

"Humph! You're still hard-mouthed! After I left the Wang family, I advised you to have less contact with Hongxing, but you girl is just disobedient! No, the good style that my Zhao family has cultivated for several lifetimes has called you a cheap girl to ruin! Hi! It's all my fault that I got involved in the two of you for the money, I deserve it! I'm self-inflicted, I'm sorry for your dead mother! Lao Zhao couldn't be angry, he couldn't stop sighing with his head in his hands, and two lines of old tears flowed out.

Gui Fang saw that her father was so angry, not only did she not feel guilty, but she burst out laughing.

"You shameless girl, you still have a smile!" Lao Zhao was even more angry, he really wanted to smack his mouth.

Gui Fang then put away her smiling face and said, "Dad, I'm not pregnant, I was just teasing you, don't be angry!" ”

Lao Zhao was suspicious, "Are you really teasing me?" ”

Gui Fang replied solemnly: "Dad, seriously, I'm not pregnant. ”

"You ignorant girl! Is there any fun with the chastity of a big girl? If this thing gets out, the fake will come true! Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash it off! Lao Zhao touched his tears with his hand, and his emotions eased a lot at once.

Gui Fang said quite secretly: "Dad, although this thing is fake, but to Hongxing, I have to say that it is true, I want to force him to marry me immediately." Their rich family is the most face-saving, I lied to them that I was pregnant with the child of the Wang family, and the Wang family wanted to disagree with the marriage between the two of us! ”

When Lao Zhao heard his daughter say this, he hurriedly corrected Gui Fang's words and said, "Gui Fang, you are too naïve! Hongxing, this kid is timid, and his words don't count, don't force him. If you push him to the point where he has no way out, you may not get a good result! Things must be reversed! ”

"Dad, your eyes are getting better and better!"

"Girl, you don't understand, it's not that I have a good heart, now this world is about rules, I can't help you nonsense! Besides. Your pregnant nonsense can only deceive people for a while, and after a few days your belly does not get bigger, your nonsense will be exposed, how can you explain it to others at that time? ”

Gui Fang asked unhappily: "Then what do you say I should do, is it not possible that the matter between me and Hongxing is yellow?" ”

Lao Zhao said sharply: "You immediately broke off contact with Hongxing!" ”

"Dad, why are you so confused! Think about it, if I become the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Wang family, I will always find a way to give some benefits to my mother's family, and I will take some money from the Wang family to lend you to open a printing house, don't you feel happy? ”

Lao Zhao felt that Gui Fang had some truth. He pondered for a while and said: "If the two of you are determined to get married, it is useless for the Wang family to oppose it, as long as you are the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Wang family, I and their Wang family are in-laws, and if they are in-laws, they will give me some face, and the benefits will always be touched." Although that Hongxing is distracted, I can see that he really likes you, the key question is whether he dares to marry you? Can you get that kid right? ”

Gui Fang said proudly to Lao Zhao: "Dad, you should know Hongxing's character." Hongxing is a soft mud in front of me, he obeys my words, I let him go east, he doesn't dare to go west, if I ignore him for three days. It was as if he had lost his soul, and he had now completely fallen under my pomegranate skirt. But then again, if he is timid and afraid, I can take care of everything by myself. It's man-made. I have to make this raw rice into mature rice! ”

Lao Zhao admired Gui Fang's pungent and capable style very much, "Good job!" I've changed my mind now. Not only will Dad not hold you back, but I will help you when you need it. But I don't think it's too much of a rush. Don't scare Hongxing with the nonsense that you are pregnant, it's not time to use this trick! You have to probe their royal family from Hongxing's mouth first, and then act on camera. Then he sighed: "Gui Fang, you are really a child of my old Zhao family, you have the heart and eyes to dare to act, it would be good if your sister had the same temperament as you!" She's also a big one, she can't wilt all day long, and she still hasn't a suitable partner, and she is the one I can't let go of the most. ”

As soon as Guixiang was mentioned, Gui Fang's anger didn't come to one place, she complained to Lao Zhao and said: "Dad, wilting people out of leopards!" Don't look at the cinnamon that can't be slipped? Her idea is bigger than anyone else's! No, Guixiang has been in contact with Baosheng on the other side of the door recently, Baosheng always runs to our house when you are not at home, and the two of them hide in the hut and chat for a long time, and they went to watch a movie together last night. That Baosheng is a veterinarian who treats livestock all day long, and he always runs to the countryside, and all the stinky and coaxed are all livestock flavors, and he will not have any interest in the future, but our Guixiang will definitely take a fancy to him. ”

Lao Zhao knew that Baosheng was the second son of Li Dequan in the opposite neighborhood, his nickname was Gouzi, and he and his daughter grew up playing together in the alley. He remembered the dog's appearance very well when he was a child: the child was always dirty when he was a child, his eyes were small like two slits pulled out of a thread, and he shed tears when the wind blew, and there were always two tubes of dirty snot hanging under his nose. Lao Zhao said disdainfully: "The dog boy has looked like an unpopular bear since he was a child, how can our Guixiang take a fancy to him." Don't worry, Guixiang is also a beautiful girl in our neighborhood, she has a very high heart, and she won't marry someone casually. ”

Gui Fang said: "Dad, in fact, I'm just guessing, let's wait and see." Anyway, I can't let my sister marry a poor veterinarian, if it's true, I have to break them up! ”

Lao Zhao nodded and said worriedly: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and you have to be careful in everything." Don't look at Guixiang, this child usually doesn't talk much, she is wilted, as long as it is something she believes, she has to go all the way to the dark, and she can't pull it back with nine cows! Gui Fang, you have to keep an eye on her when I'm not at home. ”

It was a Sunday, Wang Hongxing asked Guifang to go to Beihai Park to play, and the two found a quiet place on Qiong Island to make love and then rented a small cruise boat. The boat sits side by side on the wide water, each paddling a paddle, and the paddle brings a ripple from the paddle, and the cool breeze on the water in the hot summer is very pleasant. When the boat rowed near the Five Dragons Pavilion, Gui Fang shouted that he was tired, so they docked the boat under a weeping willow on the shore of the lake. The long, dense willow almost brushed the water, swaying in the breeze from the lake. Gui Fang fell coquettishly in Wang Hongxing's arms to rest, Wang Hongxing hugged Gui Fang's waist tightly, put his face close to her face, the two of them didn't say anything, just hugged each other sweetly and let the wicker caress and time passed

With a "plop", a fish jumping from the surface of the water disturbs the lovers who are immersed in happiness. Gui Fang sat up from Wang Hongxing's arms, she thought for a while and said to Wang Hongxing: "Hongxing, it's not a problem for the two of us to be like this, I want to get married as soon as possible, and I want to stay with you every day." Wang Hongxing was very happy when he heard this, and he gave Gui Fang a loud kiss on the cheek. But when Gui Fang asked him to go home and propose marriage to his parents, Wang Hongxing wilted again, he let go of the hand holding Gui Fang, and didn't dare to agree no matter what Gui Fang said. Wang Hongxing held back for a long time before finding a reason to excuse Gui Fang and said: "Since ancient times, the matter of proposing marriage has been said by the elders or matchmakers of both parties, how can the parties themselves say it directly." Besides, my parents thought that I had nothing to do with you, and now I don't have the courage to tell them. Wait! ”

Gui Fang was unhappy, she pouted and muttered, "Hongxing, how can I say hello to you?" He doesn't look like a big man! Marriage is a righteous and bright thing, why don't you dare to tell your family? You don't think about it, if we want to get married in the new society, who can stop us? If you don't dare to tell your family, I think our relationship is still broken! After Gui Fang finished speaking, she moved her body to the bow of the boat and pouted angrily.

Wang Hongxing saw that Gui Fang was angry, and hurriedly leaned to the bow of the boat and said softly in Gui Fang's ear: "Gui Fang, don't be angry, okay?" In fact, there is an idea that has been holding back in my heart for many days, you listen to me, we can elope! Then no one can control us, we can live as much as we want! ”

Gui Fang was anxious when she heard this, she pointed at Wang Hongxing and asked, "What kind of bad idea do you have?" Elope? Where are you going? Do you have any money? What will you do? What do you feed me with? Gui Fang asked like a cannon.

Wang Hongxing patted his chest with a manly attitude and said: "China is so big, it's not good, can't I find a job to support my family!" ”

"It's easy to say, you can leave your own home, and I can't leave my father and sister! Besides, you have a good life in your family, but you run away like a thief to live a poor life, are you sick in the brain? Let me tell you, even if I jump into this North Sea and drown, I won't elope with you! ”

Gui Fang was silent about what Wang Hongxing said, she felt that Wang Hongxing was too cowardly, so she secretly made up her mind to go to Wang's house in person to find out the matter between herself and Wang Hongxing to the old lady.

After some quarrels, the two were not in the mood to row any more, and they returned the boat to the charter office and went back to their respective homes. (To be continued......)
