Chapter 118: The Lin Family in the Capital (3)
"How do you feel when you hear that? This is a 17-year-old rural girl who has never seen the world. She has a saying that is true, she really doesn't care about money.
When she got married, Zhang Guoqing's family gave her a high-priced bride price of 800 yuan, and the old Zhou family didn't have a penny to marry. She used the bride price money to buy a sewing machine, and married into the Zhang family with the rest of the money. Zhang Guoqing wanted to buy her a large item, but she refused and said it was unnecessary. I have a bicycle at home, so I can keep a low profile. Her cousin had just gotten married, and there were many valuables besides three turns and one ring, and she didn't even look at them.
At the age of 17, who doesn't want to marry into her husband's family in a beautiful way, and be superior. But what about her? In her husband's house, she was thoughtful in everything she did. The two concubines in the family treated her like their own sister-in-law, and their mother-in-law and father-in-law were partial to her.
That is still when her household registration is not in the local area, there is no rations, and there is no dowry, and her family protects her. At that time, those people surrounded the gate of the Zhang family, and all the people of the Zhang family stood behind her and paid attention, for fear of accidents. Zhang Guoqing protected her, and without saying a word in the audience, he stood beside her on the left, and on the right were her two concubines, blocking the girl of the Zhou family from approaching.
Zhou Jiao is very good at being a person. At that time, I knew that the family was kind. Also, if she wasn't kind, she wouldn't have married into the door. Let's talk about why Zhou Jiao got married so early?
Her eldest aunt's nephew who wanted to marry her to her mother's family was discovered by Zhou Jiao. It's a pity that she has no one to help her in the Zhou family. As for her, she said that she didn't want to go to the capital to find us. When he was distressed, Zhang Guoqing received a place for him to be a soldier from an acquaintance. At that time, he ran to Zhou Jiao and said that he didn't want to be a soldier, and he was afraid that if he went to be a soldier, he would leave like her father, and there would be no one to accompany her, and he felt sorry for her, so he refused. That's it. Zhou Jiao told Zhang Guoqing that if he didn't regret it, he would come to the door to propose marriage. Let him think about it and get the consent of his parents again, and ask the matchmaker to officially come to the door. She gave him three days to think about it.
After going back, Jiaojiao was afraid that the Zhou family would not let her marry and would calculate her, so she found her grandmother and told her that she wanted to marry Zhang Guoqing. If they don't agree, they will go back to the capital. The result was the same as she thought, Old Man Zhou was reluctant to accept this piece of meat, so he agreed with a cold face.
I'm wondering, these two children have very good academic performance, and the first and second in the county occupy it all year round, so why don't they go to school? Zhou Jiao has always hidden her aunt's calculation of her in her heart and didn't say it, but Shanshan asked about it. Even Zhang Guoqing didn't know, for fear that he would do something out of control on impulse. Sansa asks her why she didn't tell her grandmother. She smiled and said that her grandmother herself had to look at the faces of the family, so what was the use of saying it?
She can't trust anyone, she is very guarded, she is very cautious, and everything she does is good step by step. Except for Zhang Guoqing, who has protected her since she was a child, there are no good friends who have nothing to talk about. It's gentle and polite to everyone, but it's not in her eyes, and it doesn't matter to her. I think the only thing she cares about besides Zhang Guoqing is her father, Zhou Xiaozheng.
treats Shanshan, with her life and character, that is, the mother who gave birth to her. It's not someone she trusts, she draws a line in her heart. She would protect her mother, but she couldn't believe it.
When she was 10 years old, she couldn't stand it anymore and tried her best to finally talk to Shanshan on the phone. Shanshan rejected her on the phone, and after that, she didn't even read the letter she received for six years, and she didn't even get the things she received, and she didn't even look at them. When she's at her hardest, she doesn't think of us first, she thinks of her mom.
If it weren't for the feeling of having a child this time and sending a letter to open those years, it is estimated that she would smile as if nothing happened, but she would never take the initiative to contact Shanshan. When Shanshan is old, she will support her, this is her character.
Fortunately, she read the letter, and she said to Shanshan, Mom, don't be sad, if I were you, I would also go to Xiao Wu. I never complained about you, maybe I would before, but then it didn't matter, and after reading the letter, I understood that the only belief in your life is to find my father. You can wait for my dad for so many years, and all this is enough for me. When Dad comes back, you will live a good life, as long as you are well, even if you are not by my side, I am also happy.
Tell me, why did she endure it for so many years, and she would have an accident on the second day when her son washed the third day? Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is a trick, it is estimated that Zhou Jiao caused Zhou Xue to come to the door to make trouble. ”
Lin Liying thought about it and said cautiously: "Could it be that you know that you have passed and have something to rely on?"
Li Jianjun next to him immediately retorted when he heard it, "No, even if Dad, they didn't pass, and many people can be condemned to death just by what she said." Rely on what? Working? Didn't Dad say that? That kid didn't want to be a soldier.
Money doesn't mean much to people like their little couple. I think the key is that sentence, the sentence of my grandfather in the capital, whose grandfather, this is to be clearly distinguished, and it is not good to make trouble. This should be her bottom line, in order to be prepared, she must play first, and those who are good at chess see it as a backward road. In front of everyone's eyes, who will mention her in the future?
On the contrary, she can't let her father and eldest sister rely on her. She wants to be portrayed as a poor worm who has no father and is oppressed, for the sake of her relatives and the old Zhou family, she swallows her anger and has an unspeakable image of suffering.
The last three rings, who dares to say that she is ruthless and unrighteous, that is, she developed in the future, and she also left the old Zhou family who oppressed her. Even killing three birds with one stone, didn't she know that her father was alive? Then she took the opportunity to break off this family. Who dares to say that her dad is bad? It also saves her from dragging her dad back. There are also many benefits that you will understand if you have nothing to ponder. The question is - did she play a trick to lure out the other party? ”
Old Man Lin sighed and nodded, "At that time, the three of us watched the whole audience at the scene, and Zhang Guoqing saw us again, so we didn't see it at that time. The husband and wife in the audience cooperated, and nine times out of ten, they got off the set to attract people to the door.
Zhou Jiao's temperament doesn't like to talk about people's right and wrong, and it is difficult to hear a word from her mouth that is unpleasant to the Zhou family. But that day happened very coincidentally. If she hadn't calculated, there would have been no bones left in the old Zhou family.
Fortunately, the couple has a good heart, otherwise it would be a disaster. Zhang Guoqing is very righteous and well-known in the county. No matter how old or young he has interacted with him, there is no one who does not praise him. Before we went, the director of the county public security/security bureau reserved a place for him to go to work. He himself has found a good way to plan to enter the military/equipment/department.
What do we give him to rely on? Jiaojiao can't look down on it. The two of them are not here. Besides, they all guessed that Zhou Xiaozheng was back, so what else do they want us to do?
Jiaojiao is very stable. Zhang Guoqing listened to her advice. Some words are hard to say, Zhang Guoqing is not a simple peasant boy. It won't take long for you to see, look at the little couple, and you will find that I am absolutely not lying, and even Xiao Zhou has praised it several times. ”
Xiao Zhou listened and nodded solemnly. Secretly discussed, what is the use of the old man wanting his family to understand the temperament of Zhang Guoqing and his wife? Those who should understand have long understood, such as Li Jianjun. Those who can't hear are still secretly rolling their eyes there.
Aiming at the eldest lady of the Lin family beside the old lady, hehe, she is really the eldest lady, she is still not convinced, she is not as good as Zhou Jiao's hair. Seeing that she was sitting unmannered, lazy, and lazy, she shook her head secretly. Who knows that Lin Xueling, who has always had equality in her mouth, is like this in the mainland. He is also from the countryside, and he has seen too many such inconsistent people, and it seems that the chief's thoughts have been in vain.
Mrs. Lin opened her mouth and closed it several times, endured it and finally asked, "Old man, does Zhou Jiao really look like me?" Is it true that you can learn the three-character classic thousand-character text at the age of three? Isn't it unforgettable? ”
"Didn't you see the photos and say they looked like you? Not to mention, it's really quite similar. However, after a long period of contact, it feels more similar to Zhou Xiaozheng. I really don't know if she's not going to forget it. Even if that's the case, she won't say it if she hides it.
Hey, old woman, have you noticed that you are actually quite similar to Zhou Xiaozheng, if you don't know, you must say that you are mother and son. Why didn't I find out before? It is estimated that Zhou Xiaozheng's boss didn't notice it with a face. It's no wonder I felt so familiar with him when I first saw him. After Old Man Lin finished speaking, he looked at her suspiciously.
Old Madam Lin looked at him, avoiding her gaze and lowering her head in distraction.
Lin Liying stabbed Chen Jingru, looked at her strangely, and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, why are you so silent?" Doesn't scare you, right? Rest assured. She just wants to blame no one and won't blame you, aren't you also the eldest brother who is not at home and has no news. I don't think that kid is a stingy person, if that's the case, he can't use a broom to drive away the eldest sister. I'm not worried, I came back just now, and I thought that my eldest sister would go back to Beijing crying tomorrow. ”
Chen Jingru smiled reluctantly, looked at the daughter next to her and sighed in her heart, and then looked at the distracted old lady, who was even more upset. Thinking of her husband who is about to return, I was excited and happy some time ago. Now that it has slowly calmed down, the joy in my heart has slowly faded when I think of the days ahead.
Lin Xueling rolled her eyes and leaned on the cloth sofa boredly. Thinking about where to go tomorrow if you don't go to work? Listening to the old man and the little uncle chatting there, laughing, it's really annoying, what is there to talk about in that place in the northeast.
The left sentence in his mouth is Jiaojiao, and the right sentence is Xiao Wu, I don't know why I think it's a great person. Even when it comes to flowers, she still doesn't believe it. Just by reading a few broken books, he became a character. So who doesn't read? She can't stand the nerd who loves to read the most, and she is stunned, what's the use? Where is the nerd who was the most readable in her class now? From her own point of view, nothing is more useful than her background and family background.
Which of the friends in the compound is not like this, they are beaten every day, and when the parents say that their sons and daughters are not angry, they have already secretly arranged their work behind their backs.
If you come out of the countryside, do you really want to fly to the sky? is lucky, her father suddenly appeared, otherwise it would be better for her aunt to go to the village in the northeast.
Forget it, she'd better sleep tomorrow. Look at what her aunt brought back, it is estimated that it is a local product from the countryside, what sweet potatoes, dried vegetables. The relatives of Xiaoxiu's family didn't bring a big bag of dried sweet potatoes to the door, and went back to carry a whole sack of rice.
When night fell, the courtyard of the Lin family in the compound was brightly lit. The nanny served the meal, and the old man Lin brought the family to the table, and the old lady Lin always carried out the food at home without saying a word. Except for the wife and the little son-in-law to say a few words, everyone was busy eating. Today, the old man came back, and a few dishes were added to the meal, which enriched a lot.
In the dead of night, Mrs. Lin couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, which alarmed her wife beside her.
Old Man Lin woke up in a daze, and said vaguely, "Don't think about it, I'll talk about it during the day." He rolled over and snored and fell asleep. This man was old, and after a long journey, he was already tired and slept soundly.
Old Mrs. Lin listened to the snoring and smiled silently. This rough man is still a rough man when he gets old. The jade-like man came to mind and sighed softly.
