Chapter 001: Marriage

Next Chapter

In the first month, the spring is cold, especially when night falls, and there are a few cold stars hanging in the sky.

Zhao's house in Beicheng District, in the front yard of the second room.

Tian Hua was only in his forties, his face was pale and he looked a little haggard, he was holding an azure cotton jacket in his hand, and he shouted to his daughter Zhao Lijuan at the door a little impatiently: "Lijuan, wait a minute, take a brazier to Xiaofang's house upstairs." ”

Zhao Lijuan is eighteen years old this year, and she has been nesting at home before school starts in the first month, and she has just come back from the eldest mother's house next door, holding her sleeves, shivering with cold, and when she heard this, she frowned directly and protested: "I won't go, and there is not much carbon at home, so the remaining little is not enough for me to use alone." ”

"You kid...... Never mind! Then wait and bring the noodles I just cooked in the kitchen to Xiaofang, she will be your sister-in-law in the future. After saying that, she picked up her coat and put it on and walked out, at this time she was going to the backyard to take care of her seriously ill mother-in-law.

Zhao Lijuan, who was behind her, muttered in her heart and scolded without thinking about it: "It's not my sister-in-law, she hasn't got a certificate yet, and besides, a person who is shaving in the field of a village girl is also worthy of marrying my brother, so it's really troublesome to ram the goods." ”

The voice was loud, as if it was deliberately intended to be heard by Shinoxiao upstairs.

He scolded and walked to the kitchen.

In a room on the second floor, Zhou Xiaoxiao was wearing a red cotton jacket, black satin cotton pants, and new embroidered shoes on his feet, sitting quietly at the head of the bed alone. At this moment, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter of the Zhao family outside, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Even refused to give the brazier, with such a sister-in-law treating her future sister-in-law, no wonder Li Xiaofang was about to run away from marriage, Xiaoxiao moved her hands and feet that were about to freeze, and her hands and feet were cold after sitting for a while.

Early in the morning, she came from the countryside in an ox cart, with a few sets of change of clothes, a letter written by the Zhao family to the Li family, and a pair of jade bracelet tokens, and came to the Zhao family in the city in the evening. Because the Zhao family suddenly proposed to do a marriage, the person who delivered the letter asked Li Xiaofang to come over as soon as he arrived at the Li family, and the old lady of the Zhao family was afraid that she couldn't wait for a few more days. And the time was so fast that I didn't even buy the bride price, but said that it would be reissued later.

The Li family did not dare to object, Zhao Lichen, the eldest son of Zhao Zhiguo, the second room of the Zhao family, and Li Xiaofang, the granddaughter of the Li family, were engaged since childhood. It stands to reason that arranged marriages are no longer in the new society, but there is a reason for this marriage.

Uncle Zhao and Uncle Li used to be comrades-in-arms, Uncle Zhao once saved the life of Uncle Li once, so in order to repay the kindness, Uncle Li thought about getting married, and his daughter married the Zhao family to repay the kindness, but his wife in this life has only one son and no daughter, so the family affair is pushed to the next generation granddaughter Li Xiaofang. But Li Xiaofang got along with the people in the commune in the town, and I heard that this Zhao Lichen was a soldier, and he couldn't go home a few times a year, and he married a big family, not to mention that she was a living widow to serve them, so she was not happy to marry, and ran out secretly yesterday, and the Li family didn't find it after looking for a day, I heard that she bought a ticket and ran to the field to join her brother by train, so angry that her father was suddenly sick and bedridden, and Uncle Li was very old, and a few days ago he went up the mountain to collect medicine and broke a leg, and there were two patients at home, Li Xiaofang's mother can't come out, and the marriage can't be delayed, Li Xiaofang's brother is doing things in the field again, and it takes a week to write a letter and send it over, plus it will take a few days to come back, so it's too late to rush back to deal with this matter, and other relatives, the Li family feels that they regret their marriage and are ashamed to let people know, so Uncle Li had to ask Zhou Xiaoxiao for help, and let her come over first on behalf of Li Xiaofang to replace her, and then change it back when she finds it.

But Xiaoxiao is not a person from this time and space, a month ago because of an experimental accident after the explosion and appeared in the countryside, was rescued by the Li family uncle who passed by, the old man saw that she seemed to have amnesia and forgot where she was, so he felt pitiful and took him home, and then recognized Xiaoxiao as his granddaughter.

Xiaoxiao felt that she had been recuperating in the Li family for a month, and she might have died early without the care of the Li family, and the Li family was also good to her, not only took her in, but also recognized her as a granddaughter and became the Li family.

Now that the Li family is in trouble, of course she will help solve it, and she came to discuss with the Zhao family this time, or she can postpone the marriage or dissolve the marriage. When the Zhao family saw her, they didn't suspect that she was Li Xiaofang, because the Zhao family was far away from the Li family, and the Zhao family had never seen Li Xiaofang.

Zhao Lichen's mother Tian Hua hurriedly arranged her to the upstairs room, and then went to the backyard to take care of her seriously ill mother-in-law, and Xiaoxiao never saw her again. originally wanted to discuss with her whether the marriage could be postponed for a month, but Li Xiaofang should have found it and sent it over at that time.

The Zhao family doesn't seem to have much at home at the moment, looking at the letter from the Zhao family before, it was said that the old lady of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Lichen's grandmother, had a serious illness after the New Year, and now she has been bedridden, and it is estimated that everyone will take care of the elderly.

Through the dim light, I looked at the masculine room in front of me. The furnishings in the house are very simple, there are no decorations and superfluous things. The smoky wardrobe at the head of the bed, which looked as shiny and reflective as fresh, was a large desk by the window, on which was a pot of emerald bamboo, and next to it was a bookshelf full of books. The walls were painted upside down white, and there were two maps, one for the world and one for the country.

This room can't be Zhao Lichen's, that person is a soldier, I heard that he went on a mission in the army, and he won't come back for a few days.

Maybe it's because the old lady is seriously ill and the doctors can't do anything, so the Zhao family came up with the idea of hurrying up to get married.

The Zhao family was in such a hurry to get married as soon as possible, but if Zhao Lichen didn't come back today, the wedding couldn't be done, so the Zhao family discussed that it would be done in a few days, waiting for Zhao Lichen to apply with the army, as long as the marriage was passed. So when Li Xiaofang escaped from marriage and didn't want to marry, the Li family immediately panicked, how could this be a military marriage, how could they regret the marriage, and the Zhao family was in a hurry to get married in the next few days, but Li Xiaofang didn't see it, realizing the seriousness of the matter, so the uncle of the Li family had to ask Xiaoxiao to come here to act as Li Xiaofang for a few days, delay the marriage as much as possible, and wait for her to send her over.

Zhou Xiaoxiao's stomach gurgled sound, he ate two corn tortillas in the morning and got on the ox cart to walk all day, it was dark at this time, no wonder he felt hungry.

Seeing that no one from the Zhao family sent food at this time, she still went into the space to take out the steamed buns that were secretly hidden there in the morning to eat, although she was reborn in this time and space, but her bracelet was still there, and the space inside was not lost, and she brought it together.

As soon as I was about to enter, I heard another young girl's question in the courtyard downstairs.

"Lijuan, why don't you go in?"

It was Lu Yumei of the Lu family behind the Zhao family who spoke, she was very good with Zhao Lijuan on weekdays, and she only came over when the Zhao family had a happy event today, and when she entered the courtyard, she saw Zhao Lijuan holding a big bowl of noodles in her hand, standing under the eaves and hesitating to enter the house.

There is bacon and two fried eggs in the noodles, and a handful of chopped green onions are sprinkled on the noodles, and the aroma is bursting to the nose, and I feel very greedy when I smell it. This is what Zhao Lijuan's mother just cooked, and asked Zhao Lijuan to serve it to her new sister-in-law Zhou Xiaoxiao to eat, after all, she had just entered the door, and Zhao Lichen didn't rush back and felt a little wronged by her.

Zhao Lijuan stretched her face and said angrily: "Don't take it in!" In case my grandmother goes these days, this woman is going to be sent away, and she wastes this good thing for her to eat, it is better for me to eat it myself, I have been busy all day today, and I have nothing to eat, and now my stomach is just hungry. ”

I thought she hadn't eaten eggs for a week, but there were two fried eggs in this bowl, and she hadn't eaten much for dinner, so she just used it to add to her meal.
