Chapter 55: Gossip

The business of the barber shop has been good since it opened, Qian treats every customer with enthusiasm and seriousness, and gradually the business is getting better and better, and he often stays in the shop to help, and then sees that everything in the shop is on the right track, and he stays in the shop for a short time during the day, and often goes to the factory to help. In the store, he asked Xiaowei to help, one is to help Qian, and the other is to solve Xiaowei's life problems, Xiaowei always stays here for a while, stays there for a while, and the money he earns is not enough to support himself. Fei also wants to help Xiaowei.

Every night, no matter how busy Fei is, he will definitely come over to accompany Qian, and occasionally stay with Qian for one night, but there are few such times, and he is afraid that his mother will be suspicious. Every time Qian told Fei how much money the barber shop made, Fei didn't let her say that he didn't want any money from the barbershop, and let Qian keep it for himself. Peaceful and beautiful days are lived like this, and occasionally the two of them will have a little turmoil, but compared with a strong relationship, those are the spices of life, which is nothing. Hua later looked for Fei a few times, but Fei refused, the last time in the barber shop Fei in front of Qian and Wei, he bluntly told Hua that the two were impossible, at that time, seeing Hua being rejected and hurt and sad, Wei felt that Hua was pitiful and distressed, and Hua was completely dead, so he gave up. Fei's mother forced her again, but it didn't make any difference, and she didn't know what her son was thinking.

The cold winter passed in the New Year, and Qian felt more and more hopeful in life. After the New Year, the weather is warm, Qian and Fei discuss wanting to use the money earned in the store to clean up her home, and the top priority is to marry a daughter-in-law for her brother. In the tattered home, no woman is willing to fly to support Qian's approach. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he flew to Qian's house, and brought a pound of Lantern Festival when he came. This is also a very rare thing in the countryside. In front of Qian, Fei gave Qian's parents a thousand yuan. The old man said that he would not accept anything, and Fei directly told them that he would regard himself as Qian's son-in-law, so that he would be at ease with the money. When rural dolls get married, they must have an order, and they are very particular about the order of the young and the old. If a strong son does not marry a daughter-in-law, Qian cannot marry.

Fei: "Uncle, after the sixteenth or seventeenth day of the first month, you just look at tidying up the house, and you should marry a daughter-in-law for Brother Qiangzi, flashing age, it will be even more difficult to marry, I have money to do, if you need money, you can let Qian tell me." Seeing that Fei was so benevolent, the two old men felt that it would not be wrong for their daughter to follow Fei.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the night of reunion, and Fei and Qian's family ate the Lantern Festival together, which is considered a festival. At night, Fei stayed in Qian's room for the night, and the family acquiesced to the relationship between the two. From now on, you can fly in and out of the pair. Staying in the barber shop at night, Fei was afraid that his mother would be suspicious, and then went directly to Qian's house to live, when his mother asked, Fei said that he went to a friend's house, of course, he couldn't live in Qian's house every day, it was sometimes.

At that time, people's ideological concepts were very conservative, and if they did not marry and live together, such a woman would be spurned. There are almost no people who live together without marriage, and even if there are very hidden sneaks. Fei and Qian live together, or in Qian's house, which is simply heavyweight news. As long as you are idle, a bunch of people will gather around and lead the topic to Qian: "Look at that woman, eh, shameless, living in her house with a man all day long, shameless, and the adults in her house don't care." "That's what you don't know, that guy heard that the house is very rich, and he gives money all day long!" "That Qian is not a good thing in the first place, what she does in the city is an ugly dirty job." Slowly, the gossip spread not only throughout the village where Qian lived, but also in several surrounding villages, and even became more and more exaggerated.

Several of Qian's relatives said these words to Qian's parents. Hearing these words, the two old men were ashamed and angry. They have lived all their lives, they are honest farmers, they have never done anything embarrassing and unsightly, although they are poor, but they are also clean and bright, and now they are poked and scolded by their backbones, they really live in vain. Their own woman, they know that the baby has never done any "dirty work", and she earns innocent money. It's the fact that he lives with Fei, which is disgraceful in terms of customs, but it's not for money, and he sold a woman. The two babies are what you and I want, so it's shameless. But if the mouth grows on someone else's body, they can't stop it! What's more, Qian's mother has been in poor health for many years, and she has not been out for several years, her father is an outsider, and he never talks about other people's affairs, how can they deal with people who love to watch the excitement and love to chew the root of their tongue together!

The father squatted under the kang, like a man who had made a mistake, with his two hands in his sleeves, and lowered his head deeply to reflect on his mistakes. Qian's mother felt even more uncomfortable when she saw the old man like this. In the evening, Qian came home happily, and her mother called Qian to her, and when her father saw Qian come in, he went out. Seeing her parents' worried looks, Qian didn't know what was going on. The mother told the people in Qiancun what she said, but she didn't say it so badly. After listening to her mother's words, Qian stood up and asked her mother who said these words, and she was going to them to theorize. Mother persuaded her not to be so reckless, some of the words of others are rumors, but the matter of living with Fei is true, this has a bad impact on Qian, so let Fei not come to live at home.

Qian sat down again and persuaded her mother: "Mom, the mouth grows on other people's bodies, and we can't block other people's mouths." Rural people are originally right and wrong, what do they do all day long, ignore them, they are jealous of us. ”

The mother said worriedly: "Baby, why get married and live together, according to the rural people's thinking, it is bad morals, even men will be talked about, you are still a female baby, this has a bad impact on you, if you two become good things in the future, it is good to say, if there are any variables, what can you do!" ”。

Qian said confidently: "Mom, don't worry, Fei will definitely marry me, don't be afraid." ”

The mother wanted to continue to persuade her daughter, but she didn't say it after all, she knew that her daughter had a strong temperament, and what she decided to do, no matter how much others said, it didn't work. Qian went back to her room. Now she is in love, she doesn't think about anything, she doesn't listen to anything, she only believes in love, believes in her flying, and thinks about flying with all her heart. However, this night was extremely painful for the two old men. The father had one arm on the kang platform, and the other hand was holding a pipe and smoking a dry cigarette, and the mother was lying on the kang with her eyes wide open and motionless looking at the dim tungsten light bulb hanging from the roof, both of them were silent, as if they were both thinking about something, and as if their brains were empty. They all think the same thing, they are all worried about their daughter's affairs, but they can't do anything, they can't solve any problems, they don't have a clue, so they seem to be stupid and don't think about anything.
