Chapter 8: The Fiancée
At the same time, the Lao Liu family in Gangzi Village did not sleep, and the family of four was holding a family meeting.
Liu Dexi, the head of the household, sat on the kang head, smoking Hongmei brand cigarettes, and the room was soon filled with smoke, shaking like a fairyland.
His wife Wang Yun, who was sitting next to him, shrugged her nose and waved her hand impatiently to disperse the smoke, "I said, it's almost there, the children are all here." ”
The youngest son, Liu Gang, was lying on his back on his mother's thigh, a pair of black feet kicked on the windowsill, and echoed: "Yes, Dad, stop smoking, I'm choking, I'm almost confused, if you have anything, you can say it, what kind of cigarette do you smoke, I'm sleepy." After speaking, he covered his nose exaggeratedly, squeezing his eyebrows and making grimaces.
"Flutter", my sister Liu Ju was amused by him, her eyes narrowed together like the crooked crescent, which was cute, and there were two small dimples on her chubby apple face, and her smile was sweet and cute.
Her long hair is shoulder-length, her eyebrows are covered by neat bangs, her big eyes are long eyelashes, her big black eyes are shining with a sly light, her clear eyes are as bright as jewels, her nose is high, her lips are plump and sexy, but her complexion is slightly dark, but this does not hinder her beauty.
Liu Ju sat leaning on the foot of the column, she was wearing a red thread shirt, her chest was tall and full, her waist was slender and curved, her thighs were covered with a big quilt, fresh and simple, her whole body revealed a healthy beauty, and a roll of gray cloth curtains hung down beside her.
"Okay, listen to you, don't you smoke it, you kid knows how to sleep all day long, look at you, the fat ones have caught up with our pigs, and they will kill and sell meat tomorrow." Liu Dexi also teased his son, and took a big puff of cigarette hard, and then threw the cigarette butt into the stove pit.
Liugang pouted, obviously very dissatisfied with the pig's statement, afraid that his father would beat him, and he didn't dare to follow the mouth, but shook his mother Wang Yun's hand for help, "Mom, look at what my dad said, this is too ugly." ”
"It's not what's wrong, how can you say that child, what kind of words, what pig, if he's a pig, what are you?" Wang Yun not only supported his son, but also glanced at Liu Dexi with a menacing look.
Liu Dexi knew that he couldn't talk about his wife, so he waved his hand again and again to beg for mercy, "You have to get it, even if I didn't say it, let's get down to business." ”
After that, he cleared his throat, "Attention, now I announce that our family's first family meeting of the year will start now." "He has a straight waist and is full of energy, and when he speaks, he obviously regards himself as a leader.
"Today's topic of discussion is ......"
"Today's topic is that Comrade Liu Dexi should not let children smoke second-hand smoke. Liu Gang suddenly interjected with a grin, interrupting Liu Dexi's train of thought.
"Go and stay, and I'll whip you if you talk again!" Liu Dexi made a face and gestured, and his son was naughty, which made him both happy and helpless, so he could only shake his head and continue to speak.
"Well, today's topic is the marriage of our Liu Ju. Speaking of this, he looked at his daughter, "I heard about a thing when I visited Lao Liu's house just now, the kid of the old Huang family was struck by lightning today, and his life and death are still uncertain, even if it is good, it may leave any sequelae or something, and now the conditions of the old Huang family are not good, in view of this situation, I discussed it with your mother, and now I officially inform you, you and his family business, we will not get married, Huang, I will go to Lao Huang's house tomorrow and withdraw the marriage." ”
After Liu Dexi heard that the youngest son of the Huang family had an accident, he was very excited, and felt that this opportunity was too good to be missed, so he immediately ran home to discuss with his wife, and finally announced the decision.
In fact, this family business was handled by him single-handedly, and he tried his best to promote it, because the conditions of the old Huang family were very good, to put it bluntly, he was rich, quite rich, that was the richest man in the township, Liu Dexi was very greedy for money, so he was anxious to find a matchmaker everywhere, and he couldn't wait to let his daughter marry into the old Huang family immediately.
After the two children got engaged, he was so happy that he couldn't do it, showing off everywhere, for fear that others would not know, "The old Huang family in Shantun, do you know? The richest man in the township is my in-laws!" "Haha, Huang Cai Huang Boss, you know? He has to call me uncle!"
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, the old Huang family suddenly suffered a great change a year ago, this time Liu De was happy, and he didn't show it off, and he didn't even dare to mention it for fear that if something happened, he not only often sighed but also complained, and outside the words, he regretted marrying such a beautiful daughter to the old Huang family.
Liu Dexi's idea of regretting marriage has been brewing for a long time, but he has never said it, he is afraid that at this time he will be ridiculed by the neighbors, scolding him for not paying attention to it, and he has been patient, and today finally let him wait for this golden opportunity.
Liu Ju heard her father talk about her marriage, her pretty face immediately rose a touch of red, she lowered her head shyly, her fingers kept running the hair hanging down her ears, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly with a smile.
Liu Ju and the two got married last year, and set to get married on May Day this year, and their relationship is very good, because they are not only classmates in primary school and middle school, but also at the same table in elementary school.
There is nothing happier in the world than good health and family harmony, and the most romantic thing is to grow old with your loved one for a lifetime.
Liu Ju thought of all the sweetness between her and her boyfriend, the smile on the corner of her mouth was even stronger, her heart was full of joy, and she even looked forward to the world of the two after marriage, she felt extremely happy.
However, Dad's next words shattered her dreams like a thunderbolt from the blue, like a basin of cold water poured on her head and face, making her cold all over, like falling into an ice cave!
Struck by lightning?
Divorce?
How so, is it true?
Shocked and surprised, Liu Ju's expression froze, her body trembled, and Mu Ran raised her head and looked at Liu Dexi in disbelief, "Dad, what did you say, I didn't hear clearly, you say it again." Her voice was dry and trembling slightly, and her big pretty eyes were misty.
"I mean, your marriage is over, Huang, let's not get married, do you understand? Liu Dexi didn't dare to face her daughter when she spoke, but looked out the dark window and answered word by word.
"That's not what I'm asking, it's the one from before, he ...... Was he really struck by lightning? Is this true, oh, you speak quickly, Dad!" Liu Ju had already come to his father's side as he spoke, grabbing his arm and shaking, looking very nervous and anxious.
Sizzle!
Liu Dexi grinned bitterly, this child's hand strength is really not small, it seems that it is not so easy to persuade her to withdraw from the marriage, but her own daughter can't blame her, so she quickly gave her wife a look.
Mother Wang Yun pulled Liu Ju's hand away with understanding, "Xiaoju, what your father said is true, don't be sad, we can't count on the old Huang family, hurry up and let your third aunt introduce you to a few more good families." ”
Liu Ju's face gradually turned pale, tears gushed out like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and the whole person sat on the kang with his head down, muttering to himself: "How can this be, how can this be......"
"No! it's not true, it's not true, I'm going to see him, go now!" Hula stood up and was in a hurry to get off the ground, and she didn't even bother to put on her clothes, which showed the depth of her affection.
Liu Dexi hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hands on the edge of the kang to stop her, his eyes widened, and he frowned and reprimanded, "Xiaoju, what are you doing! Sit down for me! Don't go anywhere at night! I told you, that child can't do it, the person who is going to die, what are you going to see, if you want to go, I will go, and I will go to his house tomorrow to withdraw the marriage!".
"No, I'm going, I'm going to see him, Dad, just let me go and see." Liu Ju pulled her father hard, she was very anxious and worried, and began to raise her hand like crazy and slap indiscriminately, so that she scratched her father Liu Dexi's chin with a blood mark.
Liu Dexi looked at his daughter's pear blossom with rain face, showing a wry smile, saying that the female is not staying, it seems that this is really the case, he thought about it, while holding his daughter with his right index finger, looking angry, "Are you stupid? That kid is no good, the doctors say that there is no help, even if he comes back to life, he may be a vegetative person, and besides, his old Huang family is poor, that kind of famine, our family can't follow his family to eat pot roast." ”
Liu Ju put her head like a plucked drum and covered her ears with both hands, "I don't listen! I don't listen! You talk nonsense, he will be fine, he will be fine."
Mother Wang Yun saw that her daughter was more excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Liu Ju's hand, "Xiaoju, believe it or not, it's true, it was said by Dr. Xiao Li from the township health center, can you not know the disease that people showed him, isn't it, the doctor won't talk nonsense." ”
Liu Ju bent down to get dressed, Wang Yun hurriedly stopped her, "Xiaoju, my good daughter, your father is right, look at the old Huang family, what has become of them now?
If you marry into their family, how much hardship will you have to suffer, can we afford it? Besides, it's not that we can't get married, right, your father and I can't watch you jump into the fire pit.
You are the meat of your mother's body, your parents want you to be good, they hope you can be happy, they don't want you to suffer, your mother knows that you like him, and the child is not bad, in case he really becomes a vegetative person, can you wait for him for the rest of your life?
That's not a day or two, a year or two, that's a lifetime, girl! Mom can't let you waste all your youth on a cripple, think about it."
Mother's words hit her vital point like a cannonball, Liu Ju was stunned unconsciously, if he really became a vegetative person, can I wait for him silently for the rest of my life, can I really do it?
Serving a vegetative person for the rest of my life is not the happiness I want.
I want a lover who understands me, loves me, loves me, and can always be by my side.
At this moment, Liu Ju's psychological defense completely collapsed and loosened, but she still sobbed and said, "But Mom, I'm ...... I like him."
Wang Yun sat down with his daughter in his arms, gently rubbed her back with his right hand, and continued to persuade: "Silly boy, this is fate, you have no fate with him, you are destined not to go together, this is fate." ”
The younger brother Yanaoka came over and grabbed his sister's hand and comforted, "Sister, just listen to your parents, they will definitely not harm you." ”
Liu Dexi saw that his daughter's mood gradually calmed down, and his frowning brows relaxed, and secretly stretched out his thumb to his wife, "Okay, okay, that's it, let's sleep, it's late, I'll go to your grandma's house tomorrow for a while, forget about him, and I'll introduce you to a partner after a while, okay, let's all sleep." ”
Lovelorn people are often very sad, it is a heart-wrenching and unforgettable pain, only time can dilute everything, Liu Ju is no exception, although she does not want to do this, but she must accept this reality, because she knows that a marriage that is not blessed by her parents will not be happy.
She silently accepted her parents' advice, and all she could do now was lie under the quilt and silently wish him safety.
