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

Yuxiu goes to her cousin Meiling's wedding. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info say it's a wedding, it's better to invite relatives to a meal. Because her uncle and aunt are not enthusiastic about this marriage at all, but Meiling is already pregnant, and her belly is getting bigger day by day, so she can't get married again. Moreover, no one from the man's family came, perhaps because he didn't agree with this family business.

My aunt's family lives in Changqing Commune, which is not far from or near the county seat. There is no shuttle, and it takes at least two hours to walk. So, when I walked to my aunt's house, it was almost noon. My aunt was two years younger than my mother, and because she was handsome when she was young, she married into the door of the secretary of the brigade, and the family was more generous and exquisite.

My aunt's house is located on the roadside at the head of the village, two rooms larger than Yuxiu's house, and it is the most magnificent house in the village. Yuxiu came to the door of her aunt's house, and saw that the door was deserted, although there was a big word on the door, but she couldn't see a lively atmosphere, as if she was doing a funeral.

When I entered the hall, there were already a lot of relatives and people who were happy to do it. Some were people she knew, some people she didn't know. When she saw her aunt, she said, "My mother has something to do at home and can't come, so let me come to Meiling's wedding." As he spoke, he took out ten yuan of gift money and gave it to his aunt.

The aunt sat her down and poured her tea. She greeted relatives and acquaintances, and then asked her aunt, "What about the bride and groom?" Let me take a look. ”

My aunt said, "I went shopping, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Judging from the atmosphere in front of me and my aunt's attitude, it seems that there is something not very glamorous. Because she knew that Meiling was only sixteen years old and still in school, how could she make her belly bigger? Because the style of men and women is a very serious matter, cheating between men and women happens from time to time in rural areas, and generally men will be escorted by the militia and paraded in the streets to criticize; If they are cadres and workers, they must be dismissed from their posts. Women will be called shoe-breaking bitches. In short, this kind of thing can ruin people's reputation. However, Meiling and the teacher are both young people, as long as the two become a family, no one will be held accountable, but they have a bad reputation.

The uncles and aunts had bad faces, and everyone kept them secret, and they didn't talk about the marriage of the bride and groom, but just talked about some innocuous ordinary things. Yuxiu felt bored, so she went to find Xiulian. Xiulian is a cousin who married here from Chaling. The two are very good at talking together. Yuxiu found Xiulian's house, and Xiulian happened to be sitting in the hall mending an old dress.

When the two met, they were so affectionate, so they sat together hand in hand and began to chat. Yuxiu asked Xiulian, "What's going on with Meiling, she let others make her belly bigger before she graduated?" ”

Xiulian said to her slowly and carefully, "Meiling doesn't have to worry about reading, but she is so bold and frivolous." There is a young teacher from Shanghai, twenty-four or five years old, who is very good-looking, well-written, and very good at teaching. I don't know what Meiling is obsessed with, so I worship him and am fascinated. Originally, Meiling didn't learn English, because she liked the teacher, and she learned English quite well. The teacher made her a section representative. Meiling loves her teacher so much that she takes the initiative to wash her clothes and sew quilts for her teachers. However, someone in the school accused the teacher of eavesdropping on the enemy's platform, and the teacher's father had studied in England, so the people from the county arrested the teacher and asked him to confess to the foreign country. But the teacher was so stubborn, he just didn't admit it. There was no way, so they beat the teacher and locked him in a hut. The hut is a new temporary warehouse of the school, the sun is shining, the inside is like a steamer, the teacher is a white-faced scholar, there is no food, no water to drink, was locked up for a day, people will not work, fall to the ground. When Meiling saw it, she cried and shouted, kicked the door and smashed the lock, and the person who wanted the doorkeeper to release the teacher. The gatekeepers couldn't stop her, so they tied her up and locked her in the duty room. In the evening, there was a head in charge of handling the case, and when he saw that Meiling was so beautiful, he teased her, and said that as long as she agreed to have a relationship with him, her teacher would let her go. Meiling was so stupid, she agreed to others. The teacher was released, and she was so weak that she couldn't stand up, so Meiling borrowed a board car from the school, pulled the teacher to the hospital, and accompanied the teacher to the hospital. The teacher was so grateful, so he got along with her, and he didn't know why he made Meiling's belly bigger. ”

Speaking of this, Xiulian said again, "Your uncle and aunt regret it, you shouldn't have boarded Meiling in the city, otherwise Meiling wouldn't have had such a big scandal." ”

Hearing this, Yuxiu said angrily, "It's all my uncle's fault, he is ruthlessly pampered with Meiling, and no matter what happens, it depends on her temperament." ”

But Xiulian said, "However, you haven't seen that guy, so white, clean, so gentle, so beautiful, sensible, and eats imperial food, the girls are not unmoved when they see it." It's just that that guy is much older than Meiling. ”

Yuxiu said, "In this way, my aunt's family actually didn't have to suffer, why did they make the wedding the same as the funeral?" ”

Xiulian said, "It's not that you don't know, your uncle and aunt are so polite and love face, Meiling is so young at this age, doing such a thing for them makes them feel so shameless." ”

While the two were talking, their aunt came to call Yuxiu over for dinner. Yuxiu followed her aunt back to the front of the house, and saw Meiling and the groom standing in front of the door to greet the guests. Meiling was wearing a new light yellow dress from Hershey's, with a beautiful hairpin pinned to her head, and she looked more and more mature and beautiful, not at all like a sixteen-year-old girl. The bridegroom was quite tall, his face was white, his appearance was gentle, his clothes were neat, his trousers were straight, and even the cloth shoes on his feet were black and white, spotless. Yuxiu compared him with Chen Jie, and felt that this humanity was whiter than Chen Jie, but his body was not as strong as Chen Jie. Yuxiu thought that this guy could only teach, and if he went to work in the field, he would fall in the field in less than half an hour. But on the whole, this guy is really good, no wonder Xiulian would say that about him.

Seeing Yuxiu coming, Meiling first called Sister Xiu, and then said to the groom, "This is Sister Xiu, is she more beautiful than me?" ”

The groom smiled at Yuxiu and said, "You are both so beautiful, one is Minchan and the other is Xi Shi." ”

Yuxiu teased the groom and asked, "Which of us is Minchan and which is Xi Shi?" ”

The groom said, "You are Xi Shi, and my Meiling is Diao Chan." Because she's younger than you. ”

Yuxiu smiled and said, "Meiling is younger than me, but she matures earlier than me. ”

Meiling took Yuxiu's hand and said, "Sister Xiu, don't make me happy." I'm just asking you, what do you think of me? ”

Yuxiu complimented and said, "I can't say for sure in Linjiang County, there is definitely no one in the abnormal Qing Commune." ”

Meiling said, "In fact, there is no one in Linjiang County who can compare with him." ”

The groom was embarrassed and said to the bride, "Don't say that, there are quite a few people who are better than me in the Qingshan Building outside the mountain." ”

But Meiling said, "But in my eyes, you are the best in the world." ”

These words made many people next to them laugh. As soon as everyone laughed, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Everyone talked and laughed and went to the table to eat. It is said that he entertained relatives for dinner, but there are quite a lot of relatives in the countryside, plus some neighbors and acquaintances who have a good relationship, there are still a lot of people. There were four tables in the hall, one table in each of the six rooms, a table of eight people, eight dishes per table, four halos, four vegetables and one soup. The four halos are braised pork, braised fish, roasted chicken nuggets and plum cabbage button pork. The four vegetarian vegetables are glutinous rice magneta, braised tofu, fried chili with eggs, and green bamboo shoots and mushrooms. One soup is meatball vermicelli soup. Each table has a bottle of Qu Yuan Tequ and a packet of gold leaves.

It is difficult for rural people to smell meat all year round, so when they encounter this kind of red and white celebration, they will bring their family and children to eat together after paying a few yuan. None of us was ugly, so we picked up a cigarette and put one in one hand and one in our ear. A woman who doesn't know how to smoke puts a cigarette in her pocket so that she can take it back to the man to smoke. The dishes are served one by one, using those thick discs. Glutinous rice magneta is the first dish, just out of the hot pot, quite hot, but as soon as the plate fell on the table, it was only a few seconds, and the bottom was seen. Everyone waited for the next dish. After a while, the braised pork came up, and everyone was also hungry like wolves, sweeping away a large plate of meat. In just half an hour, the banquet was over, and the whole table was full of food, wine, and rice, like the wind sweeping away the clouds.

After eating, most of the people went home, and only a few relatives who came from afar stayed to drink tea and chat, and do some homely work. At this time, Yuxiu quietly pulled Meiling into a room and asked in a low voice, "You are so bold, you dare to do anything." You don't think about it, if Yanan doesn't want you, if you end up? ”

Meiling said, "If he doesn't want me, I'll die to show him." I knew he liked me. ”

Yuxiu asked again, "Been pregnant for a long time?" ”

"The doctor said it was at least three months. ”

Yuxiu said, "Why don't you kill it earlier, it's a shame to have a child at a young age." ”

Meiling said, "What kind of person is lost? To be a woman, you have to have children? Late birth is not as good as early birth. By the time my children went to school, I was only twenty-three years old. Many of the women in the city may not have gotten married yet. ”

Yuxiu said, "You are a little girl, you have not yet reached adulthood, and you have become a mother, are you not afraid that others will laugh at you?" ”

Meiling disagreed, saying, "Whoever wants to laugh can laugh presumptuously, and if he laughs enough, he doesn't want to laugh." As he spoke, he touched his belly and said proudly, "I want to be a gentleman, as smart as a man; Another girl, as beautiful as me. ”

Yuxiu thinks that although Meiling is young and not very good at studying, she is so smart and can do such a thing as sacrificing herself for love, no wonder Yanan loves her so much. So, she took Meiling's hand and said, "Meiling sister, you need a lot of courage and courage to do this, my sister envy you, admire you, and congratulate you." It's just that your parents are so unhappy, you don't care. ”

Meiling said, "They are making an example for the people in the village. In fact, they like Yanan so much, and they say that my life is good. ”

Yuxiu said, "My Meiling sister is just a good fate." ”

Meiling saw Yuxiu praising her, so she said, "Sister Xiu, you have to look for it quickly, don't wait until you're older, people won't look good, and the good guys will be robbed by others." ”

Yuxiu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that my sister didn't have a life like you." ”
