"She's been admitted to college, so what's the relationship with you?" The father interrupted the conversation between the grandfather and grandson and asked warily.

Wei Wei has always been afraid of his father, he was naughty when he was a child, but fortunately, he has always been protected by his grandmother, and his father is very filial, as long as his grandmother is angry, his father's anger has to be held back.

"She was admitted with her brother, but the family couldn't afford the tuition, and her father couldn't earn money because he fell at work, so he couldn't go to college." Wei Wei put away the hippie smile when talking to his grandmother, and answered his father's question seriously.

"That's a bit of a pity, when you get married, give her family more money." Fathers are relieved.

"Dad, do you think you can do this? Our family gave her money for school, and when she got married after graduating from college, it would only be 4 years! I think it's too early to get married, she's only 18 years old this year. ”

"Xiao Wei, no one can say what will happen after those years, it has been sung in the play. You think, when she graduates from college, her vision is high, and she can't look down on you, but you are a chicken and an egg, and the bamboo basket is empty, no. Grandma was the first to speak out against it.

"Did their family ask for it or did you kid ask for it?" Wei Xinkuan extinguished the cigarette butt at his feet and asked his son with a serious expression.

"Do you have a brain? Our family is marrying a daughter-in-law, not to help them train college students, just like you, can other college students take a fancy to you? I'm afraid our family will become a joke at that time. ”

Seeing that the old mother glared at her fiercely, Wei Xinguang was relieved for a moment and continued: "If she wants to go to school, she will get married first, and then we will get money to let her go to school after she gets married." ”

"She is not yet 20 years old, and she can't get a marriage license." Wei Wei argued quietly.

"It doesn't matter if you can't get a marriage certificate, you can tie the knot first, don't we all do this? Let the people in our ten miles and eight villages know that she is from our family, and we are not afraid that she will run away with others after school. ”

Wei Wei saw that his grandmother was also helping on the side, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while, after all, all his income was handed over to his father, the head of the family, so he still didn't have enough confidence to speak.

"The matchmaker estimated that she would come to our house in the evening, so she asked her to talk back to the woman's house." The majesty of the father made a final decision, and the old lady looked at her son with appreciation.

In Liucun, Yang Fengxia beckoned Mianmian to cut watermelons for Mrs. Li to take off the heat, and she and Mrs. Li went to talk under the ceiling fan of the hall together.

After Liu Mianmian brought the watermelon to the table in the hall, she quietly hid in her cabin, sat on the edge of the desk, and quietly listened to the conversation between her mother and the matchmaker outside the door, and her thoughts drifted far away.

I think of how much I cherish the hard-won learning opportunities in the past three years and study hard every day.

In the master city No. 1 Middle School, she can remain in the top 50 of the grade, and thanks to the boy who tirelessly explained mathematics to her, the tall, thin and polite Wang Qinglin always looked at herself with a faint expression, and did not hesitate to waste precious time to help her solve the function, and secretly put an apple or a piece of chicken cake in her table bucket, this boy from City B, has an indifference and arrogance that is difficult for others to approach, as for why he is willing to approach himself, Liu Mianmian can't say clearly.

Liu Mianmian's heart ached, although she had never been a Qingqing or me, the two of them also agreed to go to City B together, and go to see the prosperity of the capital together.

When she saw the score list, she was very excited, she and Wang Qinglin's scores exceeded the score line of City B Jiaotong University, and she thought that she had achieved her wish.

As a result, I missed the appointment.

After knowing that her father was injured in a fall, she was so sad that she felt that the sky was about to fall. She forgot to say goodbye to him, she had a strong premonition, afraid that it was a vast sea of people, and she would never see him again in the future.

Lamenting that his fate is like duckweed, uncontrollable, and he doesn't know where he will drift tomorrow with the flowing water?

Hearing the knock on the door, Mianmian knew that her mother had sent Mrs. Li away, so she also got up and came to the yard and followed her mother into the stove room. My mother chopped the washed leeks and mixed them with the noodles to make the leeks gnocchi soup that my father loved to eat.

She said while busy working: "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and I deserve your life, and my heart can be put in my stomach." ”

Mianmian added firewood to the stove pit and stubbornly kept silent, feeling upset, but didn't know who to be angry with.

"Silly Nizi, how many years can we women have? They all find a good in-law while they are young, marry a man, dress and eat, and find a good family and a good person who will not suffer for a lifetime. Don't be tough. ”

Mianmian wiped a handful of sweat and stopped talking. Thinking about the words that Wei Wei promised himself when he left, after all, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in this hopeless life.

In the afternoon, Liu Dongfeng went home from rest, and he went to work in a supermarket in Yuncheng after the holiday.

It wasn't until the evening breeze was blowing and the sun was setting that Liu Mianmian saw his younger brother wearing a layer of golden sunset, and saw his sister standing at the intersection waiting for him, Liu Dongfeng raised his right hand and shook it vigorously, shouting Mianmian: "Sister, sister......"

The kung fu of speaking has been ridden in front of Mianmian, and after the emergency brake, the two long legs are supported and sit on the saddle and can't get down, Liu Dongfeng is sweaty, Mianmian slapped his younger brother and said: "Riding too fast, how dangerous!" ”

Liu Dongfeng smiled disappreciatively, "Sister, what does my mother cook delicious?" ”

"Stewed a chicken for you, stewed that fat hen that doesn't lay eggs." Mianmian looked at her brother lovingly, although she was born only 20 minutes later than herself, the girl seemed to be born precocious, and she took more care and love for her brother.

In the field by the roadside was a waist-deep field of sesame seeds, with clusters of small purple trumpet-like flowers blooming on the tops of the sesame seeds, and the corn was already a man's height, and the broad leaves rustled in the evening breeze. The rich fragrance of sesame flowers mixed with the fresh smell of various plants calms down the restless and depressed heart.

Thinking that after his younger brother arrived home for a while, he couldn't hide his father's injury, so he told the story softly, and Liu Dongfeng's heart suddenly hung up, and he couldn't wait to see his father immediately.

When the sister and brother pushed the door into the courtyard, they saw their mother talking to two women in the courtyard, one was Mrs. Li who came in the morning, and the other middle-aged woman looked about the same age as her mother, her hair was permed in curls, and she was wearing a set of ice silk dresses that were not common in the countryside.

After Mianmian and her brother said hello to them, they went to the room where their father was lying.

Seeing his father, who had not seen him for several months, lying there weakly in bandages at the moment, Liu Dongfeng's nose was sour and tears fell. The father held back his tears, looked at his children and smiled lightly and comforted: "It's almost all right, nothing ...... anything."

Not to mention that the sisters and brothers in this house were sad and sad when they saw their father, and the three people in the courtyard seemed to have discussed the big thing.

After sending off Mrs. Li, Yang Fengxia went to the stove house to fill chicken soup, served steamed buns to her husband first, and beckoned the two children to eat.

As soon as she sat down, without waiting for Mianmian to ask Mrs. Li about her intentions, Yang Fengxia said, "Mianmian, did you tell others about going to school?" It was Wei Wei's mother who just came, saying that their family could pay for you to go to school, but there was a premise, that is, to get married first. I think that on the eighth day of this month, that is, a week later, I will directly do the marriage and marriage together, and now getting married is not as troublesome as before, and you can buy ready-made everything. ”
