Chapter 158: Prelude to the Wedding
The sunlight flickered on the window lattice, and the sound of snow clearing in the yard woke Xie Fang up. She yawned, seeing that Pengxiang was not sleeping next to her, and thought that he had gotten up early, so she didn't pay attention to it. In her heart, she didn't want to get up, she slept late yesterday and was too tired. This bad boy, don't call me when she gets up, where is this, she wants her parents-in-law to say that I'm lazy, she got up in a hurry, the stove was already out, the house was very cold, she complained that Pengxiang didn't light the stove first. Before I got married, I didn't take it seriously, and I had a complaint in my heart, and I suddenly felt very funny.
When she got up, she put on her gloves and wanted to help her husband clear the snow, which he had never done since he was a child, so it must be fun. When I opened the door and went out, I didn't see my husband, but my mother-in-law.
Chunmei also saw her, and said to her with a smile: "It's such a cold day, let's sleep more, what are you doing in the morning?" ”
Xie Fang smiled and asked, "What about Pengxiang?" ”
"Pengxiang?" Chunmei was asked inexplicably, and before she could speak, there was a knock on the door, and Chunmei hurriedly opened the door, it was Pengxiang.
"Where have you been on such a cold day?"
"I'm going to see the snow, it's beautiful," Peng Xiang said with a smile, seeing Xie Fang, he hurriedly pulled her, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see the snow." ”
The two laughed and went out.
In the field, the snow is white, and there is no edge as far as the eye can see, the breeze blows, and the falling snow foam burrows into the neck, so that people can't help but shrink their necks and refuse their intimacy, and the rising sun rolls in the snow like a naughty child, slowly revealing its face that is red from the cold.
In the lonely wilderness, they were like children, and the laughter of silver bells spread far and wide. Stepping on the snow, the sound of 'crunch, crunch' is like a beating note, and the echo of the earth, this beautiful sound makes people feel refreshed and reverie. The regular footprints of the two stretched out along the country road into the distance, this is the road of life, step by step, down-to-earth.
"It's so beautiful," Xie Fang said excitedly.
"Yes, this beauty exists because of you."
"Really? Wouldn't it be beautiful if I wasn't here? Xie Fang looked at him affectionately and said.
"Maybe it's the same beauty, but I don't necessarily find that with you, I found this snow scene so beautiful."
"It's a little flattering to me, but I like it, it's the first time you've praised me like this, don't say I'm a liar," Xie Fang laughed mischievously with him.
Peng Cheng scraped her frozen red nose with his hand and said with a smile: "You, you're still a little laipi, be careful, don't freeze your little nose, it will become ugly." ”
Hearing him say this, Xie Fang ripped off the scarf as red as fire and laughed loudly: "I'm not afraid, anyway, I found what I love, I don't care if I become ugly, if you dare to change your mind, I will, I will," she suddenly hugged Pengxiang's neck, pressed her small mouth on Pengxiang's mouth, and gently bit his lower lip, glared at her Danfeng eyes and scared him: "I'll bite off your lips and your nose, so that you will never be able to go out, and if you die, you will become a ghost haunting you." ”
"You're so ruthless," Peng Cheng deliberately scared, and itched her with his hand, Xie Fang dodged, smiled happily and ran forward, Peng Cheng picked up her scarf and chased her, and the two threw snowballs at each other until they were so tired that they were out of breath and rolled in the snow. Seeing them talking sweetly and laughing, the sun was shy, staggering, and unwilling to rise for a long time.
Enough of the trouble, the two sat in the snow, "Come, let's make a wish," Xie Fang said, she stopped laughing, folded her hands, stared at the sun, lowered her head slightly, and closed her eyes. Peng Xiang also followed her example and closed his eyes.
The disc-shaped flying objects came in an instant, hanging above their heads, silently, and in a beam of light, they disappeared, leaving only Xie Fang's scarf in the snow, which looked particularly dazzling......
I don't know how much time passed, the two of them appeared in the snow again, still sitting like that, and the sun had already risen. Pengxiang slowly woke up, he felt a little unwell, and he felt nauseous. Xie Fang also woke up, she looked at Peng Xiang: "I seem to have a dream, I dreamed of a lot of people, they are giving me a physical examination, and they are still ......" said, Xie Fang blushed.
Although Peng Xiang couldn't say why, he could vaguely feel it, but he couldn't stop it. He deliberately teased, "You, it's really good, don't be ashamed, isn't it just a dream, and it's serious, do you think about it when you make a wish?" ”
"you," Xie Fang smiled as well.
The two snuggled up, looking at the sun that seemed big but couldn't feel the warmth. The field was quiet, except for the cold wind that disturbed them from time to time, and they could not hear a sound at all. Facing the white expanse, lovers stand in the world embracing each other, and if you have a lover, you have this world and everything. The two of them enjoyed, enjoyed the world that belonged to them completely, which was stripped of the dust of the world, carefree, pure and flawless.
The old yellow dog of the family came running, spreading joy, jumping around them, and humming twice from time to time, and it was also very excited.
The two looked back, and their sister was walking towards them, waving to them from afar, as if calling them.
Walking back, the old yellow dog ran forward, stopped and looked back at them, waited for them, watched them catch up, ran forward again, waited for them again.
Peng Xiang smiled and said to Xie Fang: "How do you see me racing with the old yellow dog? ”
"You can't outrun the dog," Xie Fang said with a smile.
"Look at me," Peng Xiang said as he changed back to the dog, and when the dog had not yet turned around, he ran forward quickly, and the old yellow dog was stunned. Understood, pulled up and pulled up, ran out of more than 200 meters, seeing that the dog overtook him, he panted and threw himself in the snow, the old yellow dog pounced on him and fell with him, laughing so much that Xie Fang squatted down, and Bai Xue also smiled......
Besides, Peng Cheng, he hurriedly ate something and went to work. Wang Sen then also went to the town government.
Li Chun was very happy to see him coming, and as soon as he arrived at ten o'clock, he went to the hotel and sat down, and the main leaders of the town government went to accompany him. He drank until four o'clock in the afternoon, and Wang Sen drank a lot. Coming out of the hotel, Li Chun called him to his home again and said to him, "Ah Mei's business, don't worry, the children of the leaders of our town government will be arranged next year, and they will settle down together when the time comes." Let her go to work in the family planning office. As for you, just go to the district and go to work first......
The wedding day is coming, and the family is busy. Pengxiang told Xie Fang's parents about the arrangements at home. Xie Fang's parents are also very happy, this is fine, according to the customs of the family, go through the motions, relatives also know, it is inconvenient to travel back and forth such a long way in the province, if there are no special circumstances, they will also come at that time, if there is a change, then contact......
When the two sons got married together, they had to have two new houses, and Wang Sen found someone to clean them up, repainted the walls, repainted the doors and windows, and hung the ceiling. There are a lot of people in the village who come to help, anyway, it's okay in winter, and I'm idle at home, regardless of whether the surname is high or the surname is Wang, they all come to help.
I wanted to find a few cars, even if it was to go around the village, this was Wang Sen's idea. Fugui said that there was no need, just a village, just a few steps to walk over, just beat the gong and beat the drum. Xie Fang also said: "When the time comes, I'll just go and pick up my sister-in-law." ”
"You were also a bride that day," Peng Xiang said with a smile.
"Isn't it right, I entered the door with my sister-in-law," Xie Fang said with a smile. The family agreed to do so, but Wang Sen no longer insisted.
Today, Wang Sen and Chunmei's laughter is the laughter in their hearts. They all dreamed that one day, their son would happily get married, and he would complete his task comfortably.
Thinking that when Peng Cheng got married for the first time, he just thought that he was about to complete the task, ignoring the thoughts and feelings of the child, that is, he put himself in the wrong position, and it should be the child who sings the protagonist, not himself. Some things can be done for you, and some things must not be done for you, and this is what you can only figure out after the lesson of blood.
I think that at the beginning, the timid child was so resistant, he thought of running away from home and dying, or did he force it, but what was the result? After many years of hard work and worry, I still didn't bring the two of them together, so that I didn't have a good mood all day long, I didn't have the heart to do anything, I didn't have the heart to think, I came to this point, and I almost ruined the child's life. It's terrible to think about, I was really enchanted at that time, why didn't I understand, why did I look down on my child, and think he couldn't do anything? It seems that he is too arrogant and self-righteous. The three years of imprisonment have not been done in vain, which has made him understand a lot. It's over, it's not too late to make amends.
Li Chunkua his son is very good at dealing with people, his writing is very good, his work is very solid, his brain is very flexible, he is a handle, and he has a good future, and hints that he has solved the organization first, and has the intention of lifting him......
Why didn't the child discover these advantages at all, just seeing his shortcomings, just thinking that he was useless, it would be good to find a daughter-in-law and earn a bowl of rice to eat. How many daughters-in-law did you tell him at that time, and they all said that he was thin, how many of them liked him? At that time, I was really worried, I was afraid that he would be like his uncle.
Now it seems that I really don't know the child well, and I am really in a hurry to treat the child's marriage, underestimating the child, ignoring the child, which has caused misfortune to the child, and only then has the family suffered hardships, and everything is unbearable.
Wang Sen thought, his heart fluctuating. In the past, the child ignored him, full of hatred, and did not say a word to himself for a month or two. Now, how does the child care about him, smile, sit together and talk, talk about everything, work unit, village affairs, and Amei's marriage, what to do, who should I invite, strive for his opinion, and then talk about his own opinion, it is reasonable, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, he has done it. It's a different feeling. He felt the joy and happiness of family that he had never felt before.
The news of Peng Cheng and Peng Xiang's marriage together spread in the village, and they all came to congratulate them. It is said that people's bad luck has passed, and this family has survived again, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, and good people have good rewards. The key is that other people's children are okay, Pengxiang needless to say, not only found a job by himself, but also pressed a job for his sister. Pengcheng is not bad, he has been working for a few days, he is about to become a leader, he has also divided the house, eaten the emperor's grain, and his sister is also blessed, at least he doesn't deal with this yellow earth......
There are those who laugh and those who cry, and it is Zhou Ni who is uncomfortable, she can't swallow anything of this evil breath. All day long with Wang Shu to control the qi. Wang Shu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and if he said the wrong word, he was scolded, and if he couldn't get the broom, the small bench was smashed on his body, causing a burst of wolf crying and howling, and provoking the eight generations of ancestors to be scolded and insulted.
She warned Wang Shu that the Pengcheng brothers were not allowed to go when they got married, even if they came to call, they would not go while kneeling and kowtowing, and no one would be able to make peace. No one is allowed to go, and I will fight whoever goes. She told Jin Guang first, because Jin Guang often doesn't listen to her, if you dare to go this time, I will die in your house. Let's talk to Nantou again, if you go with us, don't go with him, she swore to embarrass them, let you get married happily, and double happiness, wait and see, I won't turn you upside down, you don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes......
Wang Sen discussed with Chunmei, but he really didn't plan to call his brother and sister-in-law, just for fear that they would come to make trouble. Of course, it's better to talk to them, don't let them grasp it, it's their business whether they come or not, it's better not to come, and save trouble. Aunts, uncles and aunts have been notified, all come, just one day all the table, there is something not free to come after the play can also be, close to the noon to send a bowl of dishes, send two steamed buns to the top of the past. That's it.
Chunmei said: "I'll go and tell my sister-in-law, don't go look for that bad thing." ”
"Go and say it well, isn't it for her or for our brother, don't refute what she says if she says something unpleasant," Wang Sen instructed Chunmei.
"I know, I can talk to her and tell her that if she is like that, I will sit there, and if she says something nonsense, I will come back."
At noon, after eating, Chunmei took twenty eggs and a packet of good candy and went to her sister-in-law's house.
Coming in, the family had just finished eating, Jin Hua was cleaning up the table, Zhou Ni was sitting on the kang and wiping Yau Huahua's mouth, Wang Shu was sitting on the sofa and lighting a cigarette, seeing Chunmei come in, her mouth opened but she didn't speak, she couldn't help but glance at her wife, Jin Ming and Jin Cheng didn't talk to each other, and the brothers went out.
Chunmei put the egg on the kang, sat on the edge of the kang and said, "I heard that you are sick again, are you better?" I'm busy these days, and I haven't come to see you. ”
"I'm angry, can I get better? You're done, you're proud, your three children have jobs, and you've got a good daughter-in-law, and all the good things are yours," Zhou Ni said with a pout.
Seeing that her face was not a face, and her nose was not a nose, the fire in Chunmei's heart couldn't help but hit up, and she said nonchalantly, "Are the children okay, are you still looking forward to them being bad?" ”
"How are you, me? His aunt, I told you clearly, on the day they got married, you shouldn't let people call you, I can't go over with your brother, what did you do in the past? It's not shameful enough, I can't afford to lose that person. ”
"It's up to you to go or not, you see how to do it, the children's marriage is a big deal, you should be a mother and uncle, I have to come and talk to you, the family is still very busy, I'll go back," Chunmei said and got up and left, she just walked to the door, eggs and candy were thrown from the house to the yard, and the door slammed shut.
Chunmei was so angry that she turned around a few times and wanted to find them, but she still swallowed her anger and went home.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Sen saw it, and when he saw her angry, he persuaded her, "What's the anger, anyway, I told them, it's their business whether to come or not, and anyone can do it if the matter is gone." ”
"I told them, we don't get angry if we don't come. But they were too bullying, and as soon as I got to the gate, that old thing threw the eggs into the yard," Chunmei said angrily.
"You shouldn't take anything away, okay, okay, you owe it to feed the dogs, what's the point of being angry with them," Wang Sen persuaded......
The gongs and drums sounded, bringing liveliness to the quiet countryside, and the family came in and out, helping, watching the lively, a joyful scene. The aunt and the aunt came, the three aunts came, everyone had a smile on their faces, Peng Cheng and Peng Xiang were busy going in and out, Zhang Luo was worried about the affairs of the family, Wang Sen was idle, he didn't have to worry about anything, just sat in the house, became the shopkeeper, and laughed with his relatives.
Wang Shu and his family didn't come, everyone understood in their hearts, and no one mentioned it, including the three aunts, who didn't mention them. Basically, the first Wang family in the south of the village came, except for a few families who were very close to Wang Shu.
Wang Yinshu said: "Come here, if you don't come, you will break up, anyway, it's a matter of coming, don't call them." ”
Wang Sen didn't have any opinions. Chunmei was very angry, "There is no grudge or resentment, I went when their child got married, and I gave gift money, my child can't come when he gets married, who is it." ”
At this time, Peng Xiang came in and said to his father: "I just called, Xie Fang's parents said that they would come tomorrow and would come at about ten o'clock." ”
"Then you have to prepare another seat, or you will accompany it personally, and when the time comes, Sister Xian will also go up to accompany you, there are no men's seats and women's seats outside, people are different from our countryside, and the second sister-in-law can also go to the table," Wang Yinshu said.
Hyun agreed. Peng Xiang smiled and said: "You can do anything, if you sit away, the aunt and the aunt can also come to the table, and they all know each other." ”
It was almost ten o'clock, Wang Yinshu and Fajiu had arranged everything, and the helpers dispersed one after another.
The house was crowded and she couldn't sleep, so Hyun called her two younger sisters to her side for the night. Wang Yinshu and Fajiu were just about to get up and leave, when Jin Guang pushed the door in, the two looked at it, and still left.
Wang Sen said to Jin Guang: "If your mother is unwilling, you won't come here tomorrow, so as not to make your mother angry." ”
"It's their business that my father and mother can't come, I can come as I want," Jin Guang said, wiping his eyes, "I just came from my mother's side, if they don't come, I won't recognize my father and mother." ”
"Just talking stupid things, for the sake of Ah Mei's business, your father and mother are angry, and they can't turn a corner for a while, you can't just mess around with it, just wait for them to think about it. Besides, if your father and mother come with anger, there will be a lot of people talking tomorrow, if they can't help but make a fuss and don't let the outside see the joke? ”
"Yes, your mother is very embarrassed, she came reluctantly, and she can't stand it in her heart, don't we take care of her illness, if you don't come, you won't come, but if you don't come to this kiss, you can still wipe it off?" Chunmei also said.
They understand the child's mood, especially the golden light, maybe it's because of the big reason, some people know a lot about the world, the father's approach is really wrong, but he can't control it, tonight he went to talk to the father, maybe it was ugly, not only scolded by the mother, but also beaten by the father twice, and told him that if he dared to go, don't want to step into this house again. Elbows crutches out, eating their own to others, I have never seen such a stupid species, married a daughter-in-law and forgot my father's mother, isn't it close to your father-in-law's family, what is also sent to your father-in-law's house, I can't see a matchstick at all, they are your father and mother, and your father and I are stepfathers and stepmothers? You are an ungrateful thing, don't send it here, I can't see it, I can send it wherever I want, Zhou Ni scolded her son with her head and face, and scolded Jin Guang crying.
was not angry, but as soon as the gong and drum sounded, Zhou Ni was angry, and her child still said that her nose was not a nose and her face was not a face, and she also said some big truths to teach herself. She's so angry, your uncle and aunt have ridden on our heads to, and come to speak for them, just talking about me, what benefits do they give you, isn't it just to watch the child for a few days, just buy you like this, just come and fight with me, see how poisonous your aunt is, provoke our family relationship, provoke you to fight with me, don't you have a brain, lack of heart, how did I give birth to you these mocking things, one by one is not angry, your father and I were killed by you, and we have no face to see people when we go out. was so frightened that Wang Shu didn't say a word, and sat on the sofa sulking.
The few families in the south who were very good to her came to her to listen to the news and see what she thought. Guarding the people, Zhou Ni said that Wang Sen and Chunmei had a good meal, not that they said a few big baskets, and they echoed them. The anger was vented, and my heart felt better.
"Whoever comes to call me tomorrow won't come over unless his uncle and her aunt come to compensate me in person. When his uncle had an accident, I was hitching a ride with someone to run with money without white or black, asking people everywhere, how cold it was this day, sometimes your brother ran back in the middle of the night, and he couldn't eat a bite of food, his aunt didn't even come to ask, did you say she understood personnel, wiped tears every day, I kept persuading her, enlightening her, let her eat together when she met a meal, and sometimes let Jinhua do it alone for her aunt, if you don't believe it, just ask Jinhua, am I sorry for her, even my father and mother have not been so good to them, for her family, I Jincheng's affairs have been delayedWhy? His uncle was so scared that your brother and I couldn't sleep all night, just thinking about him, how to trust people, and how to save him. His aunt is so good that she snatched Jin Cheng's daughter-in-law," he said with a burst of crying. And they were persuaded.
"Saying that her aunt has no heart, she really underestimated her, she actually bought Fugui and let Fugui force Ah Mei to follow Pengcheng."
"I see," the crowd sighed.
"It's not how, Pengcheng who doesn't know, he hasn't had a child after three years of marriage, it's not when he sells him, he is sick and has no children, who doesn't know, this is what Xiaojun told me personally, when she didn't get divorced, she also came to me and me many times and said, what can I say, it's not for him to cover it, just afraid that people will break up with him. It's really scattered, what can his aunt do, and he won't give his life yet. I'm looking for her everywhere, what about her? Cross the river and tear down the bridge, and pour salt on my wounds. Actually, don't we know, Peng Cheng has had problems since he was a child, and there are two less things below, can he have children? Who did I talk to, "Everyone looked at each other, and they stared at each other with wide eyes.
Zhou Ni just said, how to get rid of hatred, how to say, "Look at her aunt, don't you know your own children, you are coaxing your daughter-in-law, if you really don't have children, you will have a child in two years, as the saying goes, it is better to raise relatives than to raise relatives, is it different from your own biological one?" His aunt doesn't think so, she doesn't complain that her children are useless, she just complains about other people's daughters-in-law, picks her son to divorce others, and coaxes other people's Xiaojun, saying why leave first, let him live by himself for a while, and when he has had enough, he will remember you, and then he can live with you with all his heart. Xiaojun's stupid seed really believed her words, and asked her mother's family to come and pull things away at night. You say, how could a person with such a ability give birth to such a stupid girl and let his aunt be honestly deceived. It's not that he doesn't have a relationship with you, you are making trouble, making trouble with him, fighting to death, and tossing to death. Sooner or later, the two of them will be tossed and ridiculed. It's good that you want to come back when you're gone, dream about it, people are looking forward to you leaving, and you're in other people's hands. This is the good play of his aunt. ”
"So that's the case, everyone outside said that Xiao Jun was unwilling to do it first, and if he didn't follow him, it turned out that Pengcheng didn't want her."
"The outside doesn't understand the truth. You said that his aunt was not bad. If it's scattered, it's gone, let's not say anything, after all, we're dear, I don't think about you anymore. For Pengcheng's daughter-in-law, I was so anxious that I asked people to introduce him everywhere, but I didn't expect his aunt to buy Fugui to toss me, toss Jin Cheng's daughter-in-law and scatter it, and told his son, you say that people are not angry, let anyone bear it. Aren't I angry, how embarrassing, I don't have the face to go out," Zhou Ni clapped her hands, and she cried again with grievances.
Everyone persuaded again, saying that Chunmei is not, how can you do this, not to mention pro, even Zhuangli and Zhuangxiang should not do such a lack of morality.
"Yes, what do you want me to say, do you want to fight with her, I can't afford to lose that person. Speaking of his aunt, I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night. I don't know what she did, to buy that madman to listen to her so much, when his uncle didn't come back, the family's land was not planted for her by Fugui. We shouldn't say it, his aunt is really lawful, and no one in the village will talk about it. His uncle came back, and he still looked grateful to Dade, and he was stupid in prison. ”
When she said this, Wang Shu couldn't listen to it anymore, but she didn't dare to respond, and her face was ugly and indescribable. Everyone also saw it, and they all said that it was not early, and they got up and left. Zhou Ni got out of bed and saw them off and said, "Let's not go, we will embarrass them tomorrow......"
Everyone came out and discussed, they had contradictions, and Chunmei didn't mess with us, and when my children got married, his uncle and her aunt came, not only with the gift money, but also very anxious, even if they didn't help, they had to follow the gift money.
After some discussion, they all agreed.
So, they came to Chunmei's house together, and they all took the gift money with them, and they all made excuses that they couldn't come to help tomorrow.
Wang Sen and Chunmei understood their difficulties, and pretended not to know and said: "You all should be busy first, anyway, there are a lot of people who are helping, and when the time comes, I will send someone to call you ......."
