Chapter 14: Counseling on the date of marriage
Jiang Nanfei lowered her head, everyone thought she was shy, no one knew that her fist on her knees was clenched tightly, and her nails were embedded in her palms.
It turned out that grandpa had long known the weaknesses in her character, but he had always been complacent and self-righteous.
Seeing that it was okay, Grandpa beckoned the others to leave with peace of mind.
Only Zhou Yongxian was still sitting in place, and her grandmother didn't leave, looking at Nanfei with blazing eyes. Zhang Fengmei couldn't help but worry when she thought of what her acquaintance said when she passed through Dawang Village.
"Nanfei!" Jiang Dechun clenched his hands crampedly, a little afraid to look at his eldest daughter's eyes.
"Dad, you say." She's learned to be comfortable with it.
"Dad......" Jiang Dechun wanted to say that he was sorry for his daughter, but because of the presence of the elders, he would offend people by saying it. I hope Nanfei can understand the difficulties and difficulties of being parents. And he is very satisfied with Huo Beijiang, if his daughter can marry him, he will have to worry for the rest of his life.
"I'll tell you!" Grandma glared at her youngest son and scolded her, "You are eighteen years old this year, and everyone else is so old that you are married." We decided to let you marry Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, and also let Grandma Huo hug her great-grandson as soon as possible. ”
When Zhang Fengmei heard her mother-in-law's words, although she couldn't see it in front of her, she could already think of her daughter's aggrieved face. Being a mother knows best what her daughter thinks. Nanfei was only in her third year of high school when she started school late, and her age was seven years behind the Huo family's grandson, which is called a generation gap in fashionable terms.
She was reluctant to marry her daughter at such an age.
"Mother-in-law, you have to listen to Nanfei herself in this matter." Zhang Fengmei retorted: "And Nanfei has good grades in studying, so she can't marry so early." ”
Grandma said bluntly, "Can you afford her to go to college?" Not to mention going to college, you can't get the tuition fees for the books that started on September 1st, right? ”
A remark silenced everyone in the hall.
Jiang Dechun looked at his daughter with blank eyes, Jiang Zhuan shrank in the corner and didn't say a word, just with a hint of nervousness on his face.
Strangely, Jiang Nanfei understood the thoughts in his sister's eyes.
Zhou Yongxian glanced at the old sister with disgust, "Don't say that, Nanfei is my granddaughter-in-law, and when she comes to my house, I will take good care of her." She can study if she wants to, and I will provide for her if she wants to go to university. ”
"I know you will definitely treat Nanfei as your own granddaughter." Grandma immediately smiled at her old sister's cold face and turned into a chrysanthemum.
She and Zhou Yongxian met because they went to church to worship, and after so many years of getting along, they have long become good sisters who talk about everything. At the beginning, the youngest son went out to hide from family planning and took care of little Nanfei for her, and he would take him to the church every time he went to church. After coming and going, they became familiar with Zhou Yongxian's grandson, and the two of them were given a baby kiss together.
For so many years, grandma has been most proud of finding a good son-in-law for her granddaughter. She has three sons and two daughters. There are more of the younger generation, but among so many grandchildren, because Nanfei was raised by her when she was a child, she also loves Nanfei the most.
It's a pity that Nanfei grows older and more ignorant, and she is not as cute as she was when she was a child.
"Nanfei, if you still call me grandma, you must listen to me in this matter." I expected that this girl was going to drill the horns again, and grandma was a strong threat.
"Mom, don't force Nanfei." Jiang Dechun felt ashamed and couldn't raise his head a little. The family is indeed too poor, Feng Mei's eyes have a problem and she has to go to the hospital for a re-examination, seeing that the school starts on September 1st, these all cost money.
Even if he went to sell blood, he couldn't make up so much money.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dechun's emaciated figure became more and more rickety.
