Chapter IV: Persuasion
Xu Zhenhua was dragged to his house by his childhood friend Zhang Lijun, and said to the reluctant Xu Zhenhua on the way: "I'll tell you, Zhenhua, don't you don't like to listen." You can't do this, doesn't this make the matter bigger and bigger, and if it really spreads to your troops when the time comes, it won't end well. Listen to me, calm down, go to my house first, let's talk about it and think of a safe way! ”
Xu Zhenhua knew that what he said was the truth, but he was really unwilling in his heart, and there was some resentment in his voice, "I really didn't expect that my mother would be able to do this!" Saying that, he sighed, and said in great frustration: "What else can I do!" ”
yes, what else can be done?
He slept naked with other girls in a bunk pit, in a quilt, and took advantage of all the cheapness, can he succeed if he doesn't marry?
Zhang Lijun critted his teeth, thinking that this task arranged by his father was not easy to complete!
Looking at Xu Zhenhua's resentful face, if he really wants to fight this military uniform and refuses to marry the girl from Willow Village, then this is not only a matter of resentment between the two families, but also two villages, I am afraid that they will not have a grudge?
"Daughter-in-law, get us something to eat, and then beat half a catty of liquor, and our brothers will have a good drink." After entering Zhang's house and holding him down on the edge of the kang, Zhang Lijun shouted loudly.
Zhang Lijun is two years older than Xu Zhenhua, two sons, the eldest son is eleven years old, and the younger son is the same age as Xu Nian.
The two were classmates when they were in school, and their relationship was still very good, but in the past ten years, Xu Zhenhua has left as a soldier, and the contact between the two has decreased.
Zhang Lijun's daughter-in-law is a tall, thin and thin woman, "Yo Zhenhua is here, sit down quickly, Lijun has already said that he wants to invite you to dinner, and he hasn't poured out of his leisure." Wait, sister-in-law will stir-fry for you, and have a good drink with Lijun today! ”
Xu Zhenhua's face was slightly hot, and when something like this happened, he felt that he had no face to see people. Seeing that Lijun's daughter-in-law did not mean to look down on or ridicule him, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and replied politely: "Trouble sister-in-law." ”
"What's the trouble, you and Lijun are both friends, we live in a village, why are you talking about such polite words?" Li Xiumei went to the stove room with a smile, called out to her eldest son who was playing in the yard, and handed him a bottle of liquor, "Go, go to the sales point to get half a catty of liquor." ”
In the house, Zhang Lijun was persuading Xu Zhenhua, "You said you, what's in it for you to make a big fuss?" You're also a company commander, if you really make a big fuss, you don't want to wear this military uniform? ”
Xu Zhenhua didn't know this truth, but he really couldn't swallow this breath.
"What do you say our men are doing when they marry their daughters-in-law, isn't it just that someone helps take care of the family, has children, and can still warm up the bed at night? That Lin Tong, in a few villages around here, is also known for being beautiful and capable, and can also read and write, unlike your sister-in-law in my family, who can't read a single big character," Speaking of this, he glanced out and whispered: "How good that girl looks," he gestured to his chest, "And the buttocks, at first glance, they can give birth to and raise, and they are also strong to touch, unlike your sister-in-law, who is shriveled and boring, you say, what are you not satisfied with?" Let me tell you, brother, I always envy you. ”
Xu Zhenhua listened to him more and more unlikely, frowned slightly, and then smiled bitterly, he has been outside for more than ten years, and his way of thinking has been very different from them.
If it is really just for someone to take care of the family and have children, as they say, then why did he not remarry after his wife's death for five years?
He wanted to get married, and he wanted to find a woman who could speak together and had a common language, not just a nanny.
That Lin Tong, he heard about it, is a smart person, although he has only studied for three years, he is definitely not a stupid person who has finished all the primary school textbooks before he is ten years old.
But no matter how smart she is, it's not what she wants. He really didn't want to marry an unfamiliar woman again for the rest of his life.
What's more, this woman and the old lady really made him feel sorry for him, and he naturally didn't have a good impression of this woman.
He didn't even see what the woman looked like, and when he was blocked under the bed by his wife and a group of people in the morning, he hated it so much that he didn't even look at the woman.
Moreover, he has already met with the elementary school teacher in the town where he is stationed a few times, and he can still talk about going together, and he originally thought that he would almost make a marriage report, but he didn't expect to be deceived by his mother and come back with this incident.
How can he face the teacher when he goes back, people can't think that he is cheating on marriage? Have a problem with your style?
Li Xiumei's hands and feet are nimble, and she looks like a person who is used to doing work, and after a while, she got two dishes, vinegared cabbage and fried shredded potatoes, and a large bowl of noodles mixed with white flour and cornmeal.
This kind of meal is already a good specification for entertaining guests in the local area, and many families are reluctant to eat the vegetables harvested in the autumn and sell them to the town, and the family eats cornmeal flatbread and gnaws pickle gnocchi in winter.
Li Xiumei sat on the edge of the kang and persuaded him, "Zhenhua, you have a good relationship with my family, don't blame me for being a sister-in-law." This matter, my sister-in-law knows that you are wronged, but things are already like this, if you don't marry, you can't wear this military uniform, don't say it, this girl, there is no way to live. Li Xiumei frowned when she saw him, knowing that his heart was moving, so she sighed and said: "Last year, there was a village over there, and there was a girl with a big belly, but the man was not a thing, he didn't admit it, he didn't say it, and he married another woman. ”
Since Xu Zhenhua joined the army, he has only come back twice in the past ten years, and he really doesn't know these things.
His throat moved, in fact, when something happened in the morning, he knew that that woman, he had to marry it, and if he didn't marry it, he had to marry it.
Who made him not vigilant and was calculated by his mother and younger brother!
But he was just unwilling, and took the opportunity to make a fuss, also to vent his grievances.
He is the most promising son of the old Xu family, but the old lady forced him to marry a woman he didn't like once or twice, which hurt his heart very much.
Moreover, although he is not young anymore, he still has a strong tendon in his heart, coupled with the anger that was calculated, and the coercion of the Lin and Xu families, he is even more unwilling to compromise easily, so this matter is getting bigger and bigger.
Xu Zhenhua was in a bad mood, and he didn't eat vegetables, so he lowered his head and drank sullen wine one by one.
Li Xiumei gave her man a look, shook her head and sighed and went out.
Zhang Lijun thought for a while and said, "Zhenhua, your Xu Nian is also five years old this year!" ”
Xu Zhenhua paused with his hand holding the wine glass, and let out a low "um", thinking of the son he hadn't seen for five years, who was thin and small, and looked much younger than the second son of Zhang Lijun's family, and felt sorry for this child.
