The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2

In winter, it gets dark quickly, so I light the kerosene lamp early. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe light of the oil lamp is not very bright, and it can only illuminate the circle around the oil lamp. Just after eating, Yuxiu wanted to help her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but her mother cherished her so much that she wouldn't let her do it, saying, "Don't get your hands dirty." She was about to help her father chop vegetables and feed the pigs, but her father spoiled her so much, and said, "My little sister, sit down and rest for a while, this dirty work is what you are asked to do." ”

In the past two years, her father has been so annoyed and angry with her, especially after returning the Gao family's bride price, there is hardly a day when he doesn't lose his temper with her and frown. However, as soon as she saw Chen Jie coming, she would soon go to the city to be a teacher, so she was so pampered and affectionate. I think my father is so snobbish. However, there is no way, rural people are so practical. Yuxiu had nothing to do, so she continued to embroider. She wants to embroider the flowers and send them to Chen Jie, because she finally looks forward to the dawn, the spring breeze, and the Red Army in her heart.

At this time, Huang Gehui entered the door. As soon as she entered the house, she shouted to Yuxiu's parents for Daddy and Mom. Mother He answered, and went into the kitchen with a plate of vegetables. When Father He saw him coming, he only asked, "Have you eaten?" and was busy chopping vegetables, without even raising his head. And Yuxiu just nodded at him, motioned for him to sit down, and then continued to embroider at the light.

He immediately felt a little left out, so he sat down at the small table and said to Yuxiu, "Sister Xiu, I heard that Chen Jie is here?" ”

Yuxiu nodded.

Huang Gehui asked, "What about people?" ”

Yuxiu said, "I went to Liangbao's house." ”

Huang Gehui said, "You didn't ask him why he came now? ”

At this time, Mother He walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands with a towel, sat next to Huang Gehui, and said to him, "Chen Jie came just now, saying that he heard others say bad things about Xiu Meizi, so he believed it." Today, the white eagle of the commune radio station met him in the county seat, and told him that Xiu Meizi had suffered a great loss for him to go to college, and suffered a great sin, so he ran over and apologized to Xiu Meizi and me, crying like a tearful person, which made me look so heartbroken. He also said that he would take Xiu Meizi into the city and help Xiu Meizi find a job as a teacher. ”

Huang Gehui looked at Yuxiu and said, "That's good!" Xiu Meizi can jump out of the farm gate and become a national cadre. ”

But Yuxiu immediately said to Huang Gehui, "I have told him everything about your engagement and New Year's marriage." ”

Huang Gehui asked, "What did he say?" ”

"He said he didn't want to affect our marriage. ”

Huang Gehui listened to this, looked at the oil lamp stupidly, and didn't have to speak for a long time. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he took a sip of tea from the cup, then put the cup on the small table, and said to Yuxiu in a serious tone, "Sister Xiu, I know you like Chen Jie." Now he's back, confessing his mistake to you, explaining it, and taking you into town and arranging work for you. If you want to regret the matter between the two of us, it's still urgent. ”

Yuxiu didn't expect Huang Gehui to say such a thing, so she said to him in a very solemn tone, "Huang Gehui, we haven't known each other for a day or two, I'm not the kind of snob, unkind, dislike the poor and love the rich." Since I am betrothed to you, I am half of yours. What do you mean by this, are you afraid that I will change my mind? ”

Huang Gehui immediately waved his hand and explained, "Don't make a mistake, Xiu girl, I really think about you." You were originally Chen Jie's person, he was not there in the past, I have nothing to say, and now that he is back, I will return you to him. ”

Yuxiu shook her head and said, "You don't treat me as an object. Since I am married to you, I am your person, if you want to push me to Chen Jie, are you not afraid that you will be empty? She stopped what she was doing, refilled his cup with some tea, and said, "I don't agree, it's so unfair to you." ”

But Huang Gehui said, "I won't tell you about this, I want to tell your father and your mother." As he spoke, he turned around and said to Yuxiu's parents, "Daddy and Mom, I want to get out of the marriage!" ”

This shocked everyone. Yuxiu and her mother both looked at their father. The father didn't reply immediately, just snoring and smoking a hookah. After a long time, he said word by word, "Ge Hui, you have to think carefully about this matter, there is no regret medicine in the world." ”

Huang Gehui said, "Do you regret it? Xiu Meizi went to college for Chen Jie and suffered a lot of grievances. Besides, Chen Jie's conditions are better than me in all aspects. If I marry a beautiful girl, I'm afraid that sooner or later she will blame me for being unreasonable and complain about me for the rest of my life. ”

Mother He immediately said, "If you withdraw from the marriage, my family is willing to return double the gift money." ”

Yuxiu complained to her mother next to her, "Don't you want to persuade him like this, okay?" ”

But Huang Gehui said, "Don't want your family to return double the gift money, you just need to return the original bride price to my father." ”

He Mu hurriedly said, "If you want it, you have to get it." ”

But Father He said to Huang Gehui, "Have you discussed this matter with your parents?" ”

Huang Gehui said, "I am in charge of my own affairs, and I don't need to discuss with them." ”

Father He said, "You have to grasp this matter yourself, if you want to withdraw from the marriage, I will return the bride price to your family, but don't regret it afterwards." ”

Huang Gehui said, "You can rest assured. I don't regret what I say. ”

Father He said, "Then my show sister will go to Chen Jie tomorrow, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back." At that time, you just regret it and it will be useless. ”

Huang Gehui said, "Yes. You will ask my father to divorce tomorrow afternoon, and you will say that I insist on withdrawing. ”

Yuxiu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but shout, "Ge Hui, do you really want to do this?" Not afraid of losing yourself? ”

Huang Gehui said, "I don't have to suffer any losses." You and Chen Jie are a natural pair. ”

Yuxiu was moved and said, "I owe you a favor, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it off in my lifetime." ”

Huang Gehui said, "If you return the bride price to my family, it is equivalent to paying off the love." ”

After a conversation, Huang Gehui said that he was going to Liangbao's house to meet Chen Jie. originally wanted Yuxiu to go with her, but she felt that it was not good to meet Chen Jie at someone else's house. So, Huang Gehui took advantage of the dark night to go to Liangbao's house alone.

After Huang Gehui left, Father He said to Yuxiu with a smile, "Chen Jie has done this big thing for our family, and we will invite him to a meal tomorrow." ”

Mother He was also excited, and said, "I will go to Qinghe Town early tomorrow morning to buy some pork and tofu, and let Xiu Meizi and Chen Jie talk together to have a good talk." ”

However, Yuxiu said, "Don't do this well? ”

Her parents looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why?" ”

Yuxiu said, "It's better not to make a move, so that the Huang family will lose face." ”

The father felt that what Yuxiu said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Then forget it." ”

The mother said, "It's better to let Xiu Meizi follow Chen Jie into the city tomorrow morning, don't let her be embarrassed and embarrassed when she meets the people in the team." ”

Father thought it was good to do this, so he said to Yuxiu, "Sister Xiu, you can go with Chen Jie early tomorrow morning." ”

Yuxiu couldn't wait to follow Chen Jie, so she said, "You have to treat the Huang family well." ”

The parents said, "Don't worry about it. ”

After a while, Huang Gehui came back from Liangbao's house, he said, "Chen Jie and Liangbao went to someone else's house and didn't see anyone, but Liangbao's mother said that Chen Jie will go to Honghua Mountain early tomorrow morning to take a ride back to the city." ”

The mother said, "Sister Xiu wants to go with him." ”

Huang Gehui said to Yuxiu, "Then I'll ride your bike to you tomorrow morning?" ”

Yuxiu nodded gratefully.
