Chapter 698: I'm here to marry you
It's getting late.
Zhang Jian dragged his somewhat tired steps and walked down the trail, looking up at the sky was quite bright, but because there were only rolling mountains around him, the light had dimmed, and it seemed that the night would fall at any time.
Shuchuan Province is mountainous, and the mountain road has eighteen bends.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Shu is difficult and difficult to go to the blue sky.
Once in the area of Zhongguancun in the capital, it can be regarded as a scorpion that has broken through some fame, but I don't know that "Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky." This sentence, but in the time of today's day, he can be regarded as deeply aware of it.
Looking at the mountains and running dead horses, it takes several hours to walk past a village in sight.
Zhang Jian remembers that there are mountains in his hometown in the Northeast, but it is not so difficult, not so far!
Girlfriend Kang Jie's family is poor, and she doesn't even have a phone, so many years, she has also saved money and kept sending it to her home, and it is said that occasionally the family calls over, and she also runs a long way to the town to find a phone to call Kang Jie, and then she has to stay next to the phone and wait for Kang Jie to be free, and call back.
Therefore, Zhang Jian came to Shuchuan to find his daughter-in-law this time, and he could only find it according to the home address that Kang Jie once told him.
I never thought that it would only take a few hours for the plane to reach the capital of Shuchuan Province, but I took a train, a car, and three jumpers, until I didn't even want to go to the three jumpers, so I just pointed him out the route and let him go by himself.
Standing halfway up the mountain during the day, the master who drove the three jumpers pointed to the village that was faintly located in the mountains in the distance, and told Zhang Jian that it was Shanmiao Village, and then, no matter what Zhang Jian said or how much money he gave, he refused to go.
Zhang Jian felt that the driver just thought that the mountain road was not easy to walk, so he didn't think much about it.
As a result, this one went ......
That's just over four hours!
The sky was getting darker and darker, and when the sky was still bright, the afterglow of the setting sun was finally completely obscured by the mountains, and when night had fallen, the scorpion turned a corner, and finally saw the houses on the edge of the village, which appeared a hundred meters away.
As soon as the Buddha turns around, it is the Peach Blossom Spring.
He strode towards the village, but saw a scene that seemed completely disconnected from the society he had been in contact with before.
No house is brightly lit.
There was only a faint glow from the small windows of every house.
In fact, Shanmiao Village has been electrified, but when the power supply is tight at night, this remote mountain village will be cut off.
Zhang Jian consciously lived in the poor and backward rural areas of Northeast China since he was a child, but he never imagined that in this vast country, there are such poor and backward mountain villages, and there are such ...... In the fashionable words of the city people, it is a natural village.
Although Shanmiao Village is remote and backward, it is not small, and there are more than 200 households in Shanmiao Village, which is located in the middle of the mountain.
The houses are stacked on top of each other, the streets and alleys of the village are full of winding paths, and the irregular mountain stones are paved, if you come here during the day, it will really make strangers have a very beautiful reverie and nostalgia for this village.
Pristine, everything is so beautiful!
Zhang Jian walked on the gently sloping streets between the villages, listening to the barking of dogs from time to time, and was a little confused for a while, thinking that he had arrived in another world.
Where to find your beloved, but you haven't realized this love for a long time.
In the open street door of a house next to him, an old man with a white beard walked out, followed by a sturdy and sturdy earth dog with drooping small ears, the old man held a cigarette stick in his hand, stared at Zhang Jian and asked, "Baby, what are you doing?"
It took Zhang Jian a lot of effort to understand this dialect-filled question, and hurriedly bent down and bowed slightly, and said, "Uncle, I'm from the capital, and I'm looking for someone in Shanmiao Village." ”
"Who?" asked the old man, warily.
"I'm looking for Kangjie. Zhang Jian replied honestly.
"Kangjie?" the old man thought.
Zhang Jian suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "She is twenty-six years old this year, her nickname is Miao Ya, and she has been working in the capital......
The old man frowned and thought for a while, as if he had finally thought of who it was, and showed a look of enlightenment, but asked very seriously: "She has returned to the village and will not go out again...... What are you looking for him to do?"
"May I ask you ...... all the time?" Zhang Jian asked respectfully.
"Go ahead, turn right in the first alley, and the second on the left. The old man showed a trace of impatience on his face, but he still pointed out the way to Zhang Jian and said: "Little baby, don't say that I don't have to remind you, no matter who you are, it is taboo to come to Shanmiao Village and find an unmarried girl." ”
"Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. Zhang Jian bowed respectfully.
The old man sighed: "You are Miao Ya's male in the capital...... Boyfriend?"
"Yes. ”
"Then you have to pay more attention. The old man straightened his face and said very unhappily: "If it were my old man when he was young, I would discount your leg now...... However, now is a new era, what kind of marriage freedom is emphasized, other people's dolls, I can't take care of it, but you don't want to be sorry for the people of Shanmiao Village!"
Zhang Jian couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't respond, and watched the old man turn around and go back to the courtyard, and then walked forward.
According to the old man's instructions, Zhang Jian came to the door of Kang Jie's house.
Like all the families in the village, the street door is not closed, and it seems that the house is really closed at night.
Zhang Jian stepped up the three-story stone steps, stood in front of the open street door, looked at the street door less than one meter and a half wide, looked at the hall house with dim butter lights inside, and gently knocked on the street door a few times.
No response.
He could hear someone talking in the hall seven or eight meters away.
So Zhang Jian knocked on the street door a few more times.
The villagers of Shanmiao Village are accustomed to shouting when they walk into their homes, and no one will knock on the door without squeaking.
In the hall.
A family of five who were eating finally heard a knock on the street door.
However, at the age of forty-six, he looked like he was sixty years old, and Lao Kang, who was full of wrinkles, frowned, got up and walked to the door of the hall and looked out: "Who?"
"Hello Uncle Kang. Zhang Jian stood a step away from the street gate, bowed respectfully and said, "I am Zhang Jian, I ...... I'm here to find Kangjie. ”
"Zhang Jian?" Lao Kang walked down the steps of the fourth floor, walked a few steps to the front of the street, and barely saw clearly in the dark, Zhang Jian, who was wearing a shirt, trousers and leather shoes, was the young man who had a relationship in the capital and invited him to a meal, Lao Kang suddenly woke up to something, and immediately frowned and said: "Why did you still find our family? Let's go, we don't welcome you in our family!"
In the hall, Kang Jie, who was sitting at a low dining table, fell off the chopsticks in her hand, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Zhang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I know that I didn't do well enough in many places before, so I just came to admit my mistakes, and ...... I want to marry Kang Jie, I will buy her a house in the capital, and I can have the best wedding in my hometown, in her hometown, and in Shanmiao Village!"
"We don't want to!" Lao Kang seemed to be taken aback, waved his arms with a somewhat frightened expression, and lowered his voice with some anger and scolded: "You hurry up, get out of our house, don't make trouble for us again!"
"I'm serious!" Zhang Jian looked resolute, raised his head and called into the room: "Kang Jie, I came to apologize to you, I want you to propose!"
"Zhang Jian!"
Kang Jie cried, screamed, his voice was full of surprise, ran out of the hall, but was stopped in the middle of the courtyard by his father, looking at Zhang Jian, who was standing in the street gate, standing as tall as a pine, with a resolute expression, and cried: "So far away, you came to our house from the capital, apologized to me, proposed to me, I, I am content, I love you...... But Zhang Jian, I can only marry you again in the next life. ”
"Kangjie. Zhang Jian said lightly: "You know me, decide what to do, you must do it!"
"Zhang Jian......" Kang Jie squatted down, covered his face and cried bitterly.
"You said you loved me and forgave me. Zhang Jian made a straight face and said: "Then, no matter what difficulties you encounter, who is preventing us from being together, I will marry you home and be my wife!"
"Get out, get out!" Lao Kang scolded angrily.
Zhang Jian raised his eyebrows, stared at Lao Kang, and said, "You are Kang Jie's father, and you will be my father-in-law in the future, I will respect you, but ...... Don't stop me and Kangjie!"
Lao Kang was stunned.
He was a little confused, he didn't know why, but he clearly felt that the young man standing inside the street gate, like a javelin, exuded a palpitating cruel and decisive aura.
Kang Jie rushed past his father's obstruction, threw himself into Zhang Jian's arms, and cried and said: "Zhang Jian, I'm sorry for you, you go quickly, it's impossible between us, you ...... A lot of things you don't know, you, you go!"
"I'm here to marry you!" Zhang Jian shook his head, his expression was slightly puzzled, and then he smiled and said: "I came this time, and I have prepared a million yuan! enough for us to get married and start a family, and buy another house in the capital! Kang Jie, come with me...... I will let you live a good life, I will not let you be angry, even if it is ......" Zhang Jian squinted, glanced at Kang Jie's father, and said: "Your relatives bully you, I won't allow it!"
Lao Kang was so angry that he trembled all over, holding a cigarette pouch and pointing at Zhang Jian: "You, you, you ......"
But he couldn't say a word of angry scolding - he was an honest mountain man, he would stumble and be speechless when he quarreled with others, and now, although he was very happy in his heart Zhang Jian cared so much about his daughter, but Zhang Jian's strong attitude after entering the house, as well as the marriage contract and the gambling agreement......
But it was pressed on Lao Kang, Kang Santie's heart was extremely heavy, and he couldn't turn the mountain.
Seeing that the two sons are gradually growing up, I thought that my daughter had been out for many years, and the family that made the doll's marriage contract should have given up a long time ago, who would have thought that people would come to the door again this year and ask for marriage this year!
Moreover, Lao Kang's family is responsible for all the bride price of the marriage.
Just because, Lao Kang didn't help the other party take good care of his daughter-in-law, and let his daughter-in-law run away for so many years, she is already an unclean person who has been defiled.
