44 Resumption of the College Entrance Examination (3)

On the first night when Qin Ming and Qin Dahu were gearing up and eager to take the college entrance examination the next day, something unfortunate suddenly befell Qin Ming's head, Zhang Xiaomei rushed in barefoot in a short coat and shorts, hugged Qin Ming and said: "Take me away quickly, my father wants money, force me to marry Brother Xing's son tomorrow, I won't die, take me away quickly!" ”

Zhang Xiaomei's mother lost money in the second year of her junior high school graduation because of her father's gambling, and even the east neighbor sent a bowl of noodles and a handful of rice to the west, living a difficult life of the sun and the moon, persuading her father not to listen to the hanging, and since then, she, her brother and her father have lived a hungry and full life. In the first two years after her mother's death, her father also washed his hands and quit gambling, although the family was not rich, but he could eat enough three meals a day, which made Zhang Xiaomei feel satisfied. But as the saying goes: a dog that eats can't do without a toilet. My father re-indulged in the habit of gambling, and the more he gambled, he lost all his money, and owed a lot of gambling debts. In the past, gamblers changed their faces and did not recognize people, urging them to repay the money within a time limit. The father slept in bed and was worried about the gambling debts he owed, and a matchmaker entrusted by Brother Xing said that as long as he was willing to marry his daughter Zhang Xiaomei, Brother Xing would repay all the gambling debts and give him a few hundred catties of food to eat. Although his father Zhang Weiqian knew that his daughter and Qin Ming were in love, he still agreed to marry his little sister in exchange for money to pay off his debts. persuaded his daughter to marry a rich family again and again, but the little sister resolutely disagreed to leave Qin Ming, and the father locked his daughter in the house and notified the matchmaker to let the Xing family move in. In the dead of night, the little sister pried open the door, quietly jumped out, crossed the river, and took the path to Qin Ming's house, which led to the scene just now.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly brought a basin of steaming warm boiled water, put a towel on it, asked Zhang Xiaomei to wash it, and said, "Well, hurry up and wash your body, don't freeze!" I'll go to your sister-in-law's house and find some clothes for you to change into. ”

Qin Ming held his head in both hands, without saying a word, helpless.

"You're talking!" Zhang Xiaomei knelt in front of Qin Ming, with tears on her face, beat Qin Ming's two arms and said, "I know that you are going to take the exam tomorrow, and I will delay your future here, but I am desperate now and can only rely on you." If you want to take the exam, I'll go back now, it won't affect you, you don't care if I'm dead or alive! Zhang Xiaomei stood up and walked straight out.

"Stop!" Qin Ming shouted with a thousand emotions, but shouted in his throat, took a few steps and pulled Zhang Xiaomei back, hugged him tightly in his arms, had mixed feelings, and choked up and said, "What are you doing?" Why is it so difficult for me to get a love?! Why do you have to tear us apart?! For what?! For what?! Why don't you give Qin Ming a chance to change his fate?! For what?! What is this for?! Yes! Qin Ming howled and cried, his grief shook the sky, and with a fierce force of his two hands, he pushed Zhang Xiaomei five steps away, and Zhang Xiaomei staggered and stood unsteadily.

The neighbors also rushed over when they heard Qin Ming crying and shouting, asked Aunt Zhang about the situation, and persuaded Qin Ming.

"Since things have come to this point, it is rare for Zhang Xiaomei to have this affection for you, you can go as long as you can, so as not to make trouble in her family."

"What is the college entrance examination that is not the college entrance examination, and the ancestors have planted two acres of land for generations and don't eat, and don't they also have children and inherit the ancestry?"

"Everyone thinks about it, there has been no such thing for so many years, there must be no shortage of people taking the exam this year, and you will definitely be able to pass the exam? Teaching in school, I don't get much money, but I don't have any physical strength, the wind doesn't hit the head, the rain doesn't hit the face, just get by, what else do you think? There is no good thing to end, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants! ”

"Even if you are admitted, will you still marry a daughter-in-law, have children, and live a life in the future? Forget it, don't think about anything, hurry up and pack up and go! Gone, gone, you are gone, no one from her mother's house is gone, where can I find you! If you ask us for someone, do we still ask him for someone? Who knows where I was kidnapped by my daughter? ”

"Be careful when you speak, where is the person you are talking to? Anyway, her father must still be her! ”

Everyone, you and I are talking and persuading.

Qin Zhongliang walked up to Qin Ming, pulled him to sit on the bed and said: "Brother, you have to make up your mind about this matter now, Zhang Xiaomei was also forced by her family to come to you, there is a way to go, she will not come now, she will not let you take the college entrance examination, the above (referring to the past) to come, is to help Aunt Zhang work, and to send you a review outline, I don't want to leave you time to review, can you be admitted to the exam and have a formal job in the future?" But now the situation is in front of her, she is unwilling to listen to her father's arrangement, no matter how poor you are, the two of you have a good relationship, of course I shouldn't say this, if you want to put it aside, when your brother says such a thing, you should be beaten, but today is an exception, I don't know how to say it. The two of you have a good relationship, she doesn't think you are poor, and she is willing to live with you, otherwise in the middle of the night, she won't even wear shoes, pants and gowns, and she will run to you all over the mud and water? How much water did you drink when you crossed the river? You can get such a woman who is infatuated with you, be content! You're happy enough! If you can't go to the exam, you won't take the exam, and if you still have a chance next year, I don't believe it, can you only take the exam for one year this year and then stop taking the exam for more than ten years? You must know that there are not many opportunities for Lu Dao to get real feelings, like in the singing drama "The Case of Quanmei", the princess can't have Qin Xianglian's feelings for Chen Shimei as true and deep feelings as Qin Xianglian has for Chen Shimei, cherish it, brother, this is your blessing, and Aunt Zhang's blessing! No one dares to be your home, so do it yourself! If you want Zhang Xiaomei to die for you, you can drive her back now, and tomorrow will not delay you to take the college entrance examination, your ideals and ambitions will not be delayed for you to realize, and the good future of being an official and making a fortune is waiting for you there! After speaking, he said to everyone, "Let's all go back and rest, let him think about it again, figure it out, what do you need our help with, let's help again." ”

Everyone watched for a while and went home, and only the mother and wife were left in the house crying, making difficulties and worrying.

"Mother! What am I going to do? Zhang Xiaomei threw herself into Aunt Zhang's arms and cried loudly.
