Chapter 54: Forced Marriage
The great-father, who was still weak just now, was already happily dancing the boundless square dance with luck at this time, not to mention how happy he was.
Li Ting sat on the sofa and looked at the old disrespectful old scholar in front of her with disdain, and her contemptuous eyes could be filmed.
"Can you stop swaying and rest for a while?"
"People are in good spirits when they are happy, today is the day when my old man laughs, of course I have to have a good time!" Great-father smiled, how could he look a little sick.
"Alas! I have read sages extensively in my life, but I didn't expect that I would have to act with you when I am old, and tell this big lie! Li Ting complained.
"You clumsy woman, what do you say? Life is a lie, and we are white lies, if I don't sing this bitter trick, how can this kid show his fox tail? "My great-father was triumphant.
"Humph! You're right! If I hadn't looked at Shimeng, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you! Li Ting said.
"Damn, these two children are really going to get married this time, and we have studied it on the table just now, so it's better to book a good date early and get married!"
"The point is that the children are busy with work and can't go home when they get married? Relatives and friends are over there! ”
"Li'er is such a Li'er, but we have to hurry up, hold a small engagement ceremony first, wait for a period of poetry and dreams, and then go home to hold a wedding?"
"Let's get the children's opinions!" Li Ting thought for a while.
"Hmmm! It's a nice day, boy, how about we go out for a walk? Great-father said.
The weather was sunny, the sun was shining, and there were no clouds, Liu Shimeng and her students sat on the lawn with their drawing books and sketched, her face was full of gentle smiles, and her eyes were comfortable and happy.
The students are lively and active, and after a while of drawing, they can't bear to be impatient and roll on the ground.
Liu Shimeng doesn't care about them, let them play willfully, in her opinion, children's nature is carefree, only looking for a colorful life in childishness.
There are only a few students who sketch quietly, especially a little girl with short hair, she is different from other children, she never speaks in class every time, always quietly, without a sense of existence, but she is also the most serious of all the children.
Liu Shimeng noticed her very early, so she leaned over to her and looked down at what she was drawing.
When the female student saw Liu Shimeng sitting over, she suddenly felt nervous, stopped her paintbrush, and looked at Liu Shimeng timidly.
"Wang Jingjing, why don't you paint, you draw so well, what does this mean?" Liu Shimeng's voice was gentle, pointing to her painting.
Today's theme is to draw trees, but there is not a single tree in her painting, just a blue sky, with a few white clouds, and there are three small birds flying in the sky, a big bird struggling to fly, a big bird seems to be very tired, and a small bird is far away from the two big birds.
"Teacher, I drew a family of three, the big one is my father, this beautiful one is my mother, and the youngest one is myself!" Wang Jingjing whispered.
"Can you show the teacher?" Liu Shimeng said with a smile.
Wang Jingjing obediently handed the painting book to Liu Shimeng.
"The painting is awesome and clean, so why are you so far away from your mom and dad? And what's this white one? Liu Shimeng asked.
Wang Jingjing's painting style is very clean and skillful, but it also looks a little untimely and lonely.
Wang Jingjing heard Liu Shimeng lower her head, and was silent for a long time before saying: "This big bird is my father, he flies desperately to make money, this most beautiful bird is my mother, she is sick, very tired, I can't fly, I am a little bird, I want to grow up quickly, I can earn a lot of money when I grow up, I can treat my mother, I can learn to paint!" ”
Her voice is very immature and sad, and her whole person seems to be more mature than children of the same age.
"Can you tell the teacher about your troubles?" Liu Shimeng said with a smile.
Wang Jingjing was a child after all, and when she felt Liu Shimeng's kindness, she told her story.
It turned out that she also came from a violent family, and her mother had been sent to psychiatric treatment because of her long-term fright, and now only her father and Wang Jingjing, who worked hard to make money, were left in the family.
Her father was short-tempered and often did not lose her temper, Wang Jingjing was frightened for a long time, and her personality became introverted, she liked to read books, paint, and find happiness in these beautiful worlds without words.
Liu Shimeng felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, she gently stroked Wang Jingjing's head and said softly: "Jingjing is a good child, has ideals, must be strong, no matter what kind of adversity you face, you must be brave, since you like it, don't give up easily, you must work hard, if you can, come to me at any time after class, I can teach you to draw!" ”
"Really? Art teacher? Wang Jingjing's face showed a rare smile of surprise.
Liu Shimeng seemed to see her former self in her smile, and she gently stroked Wang Jingjing's hair, full of tenderness and helplessness.
There are too many sad people in this world, whether they are adults or children, now she lives in the sunshine and warmth, shouldn't she live happily?
At this time, Zeng Lihua's mobile phone called, and Liu Shimeng picked it up with a slight smile: "Lihua, how can you call at this time?" ”
"Shimeng, can you come out in the afternoon?" Zeng Lihua panted.
"What?" Liu Shimeng asked.
"Aren't we going to get a J marriage license? I asked a friend to help me do it and needed a photo of us together! "I have left the painting.
"Group photo? Do you still need a group photo? Liu Shimeng wondered.
"That's right!" Zeng left the painting road.
In the afternoon, Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua gathered in the office.
"Where did you get your permit?" Liu Shimeng asked vigilantly.
"Are you suspicious, I'm a decent gentleman, I won't deceive people, one of my fans is a J certificate, and I happened to ask him to do something, but if you want to do it realistically, you have to take a photo of us............" Zeng Lihua patiently explained, Liu Shimeng was relieved this time.
The two leaned together and took a group photo with their mobile phones, fans saw Liu Shimeng's moment, their faces showed surprise, beauties are not uncommon, such a beautiful and refined one is rare to see, it is inevitable that Zeng Lihua can only give him big eyes.
When the marriage certificate was in hand, Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng took one in one hand and admired it carefully.
"This is a marriage certificate, huh?" Liu Shimeng blurted out.
"Yes! Is this a marriage certificate? It's fake though! Zeng Lihua stroked the road.
Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua looked at each other, their hearts were extremely complicated, and a series of ripples rippled in the depths of their hearts.
After dinner, Zeng Lihua gave the marriage certificate to his great-father Li Ting, who looked at the red marriage certificate and the bright red seal, and suddenly his eyes moistened.
"Mom and Dad, Shimeng and I have become a legal husband and wife, you should rest assured this time, right?" Zeng Lihua said proudly.
"Yes, that's great! Then you should get married as soon as possible! Let's discuss the wedding? Zeng's father wiped his face and smiled.
"Wedding?" Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng said in unison.
"Hmmm! I originally wanted you to get engaged first, after all, you are all busy, and now that you have received your certificates, don't delay, let's hold a wedding on this Labor Day! ”
Zeng Lihua and Liu Shimeng were stunned again, dumbfounded, thinking that it was still Jiang Lao's spicy, and the little bird was no more cunning than the old fox.
"Dad, this can't work, right? We are very busy, it will take two days to go home, the time is too rushed, there is not enough at all, I have discussed with Shimeng, and we are ready to hold the wedding in October! Zeng Lihua hurriedly took over the conversation.
"Why is it not enough, there are so many people in the family! Who hasn't reached out yet! I've decided, just next month! Tomorrow, let your mother call your sister and discuss! ”
"Shimeng, your mother is no longer alive, so take your stepfather and younger brother over when the time comes, although it is a stepfather, but it is also a father, just let him come to meet for the sake of his father!" Great-father's attitude is incumbent.
At night, Liu Shimeng and Zeng Lihua, who were lying in a room, frowned, especially Zeng Lihua, and they were especially ashamed, they didn't expect things to develop like this.
"Shimeng, we have to find a way to stop my dad, if we hold a wedding like this, things will be big, we really told a big lie!" Zeng left the painting road.
Oh, yes! I wanted to reassure my uncles and aunts and let them go back with confidence, but how did it end now? I'm sorry! I've got a bad idea! Liu Shimeng frowned slightly, and looked at the roof without blinking.
"It's me who is sorry for you! Otherwise, let Brother Zhongshan persuade my dad, they talked very well, and I found that my dad listened to him very much! Zeng Lihua turned over and sat up.
"Good idea, let's talk to Brother Zhongshan about the matter and let him help us!" Liu Shimeng also sat up and looked at Zeng Lihua.
"Hmmm! I'll go tomorrow and say, just fool my parents away! "I have left the painting.
"Aren't we too cruel, if Uncle knew about it, he would definitely hate us to death!" Liu Shimeng said melancholy.
"It's okay! It's not that he indiscriminately made a mistake with mandarin ducks and forced marriage first! Zeng Lihua gritted his teeth and said.
Zhongshan listened to Zeng Li's description of the painting, and almost squirted out the wine he drank in, but fortunately, Zeng Li's eyes were quick and the paper towel was blocked.
"You two are really self-inflicted, and you can't live! Came up with such an idea! Zhongshan pointed at Zeng Lihua and scolded.
"What can I do? It's not that I'm afraid my dad will get sick! I'm scared! "Zeng Lihua frowned.
"Leaving the painting, don't you like poetry and dreams very much? Why not take the opportunity to cook raw rice and cooked rice! In my opinion, you have been together for a while, and you already have feelings, but you haven't understood it yet! "Chungsan-do.
"Brother, Shimeng is a good girl, she has her own ideas, I can't take advantage of others, I like her very much, but I know that I can't force her!"
"Shimeng is a good girl, you have to be brave in your pursuit! Don't miss your chance! Chung Shan said earnestly.
