The third master felt that something was wrong, frowned and said: "No, according to the rules of our old capital, the marriage of daughters-in-law and children is held in the morning, generally speaking, people will be picked up in the morning, and then the ceremony can be held in the morning, it is almost noon, why hasn't the man sent someone yet?" ”

At this time, the residents in the courtyard who were waiting to join in the excitement also felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, things like getting married are very respectful of etiquette.

Especially when it comes to time, there is not a single thing to lose.

If you say that you have delayed the time, you will think that it is not good for the little couple. ”

"It can't be that there is something wrong with Zhang Dafa's family, right?"

"Impossible, but I heard that Zhang Dafa is a retired old worker with no children, so no one will stop him."

"So what's going on? It's almost noon now, and no one has come yet. ”

The residents in the compound were talking.

Jia Zhang was also a little panicked in his heart.

He is ready to get married, and now the groom has not come, what can he do?

Jia Zhang turned his head to look at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu." Is there something wrong with Zhang Dafa? ”

"Impossible, maybe it's because there's a traffic jam outside now, so it's a delay."

Qin Huairu comforted Jia Zhang.

This reason is quite lame, and now there are not a few cars in the whole capital.

There aren't even many bicycles, so how can there be traffic jams?

Jia Zhang couldn't hold back any longer, and urged Qin Huairu to go to Zhang Dafa's house to see what was going on.

Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed, it stands to reason that when she gets married, the woman can't go to the man's house.

Therefore, Qin Huairu can't come forward.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, why are you so stupid?" You can't come forward, you can find a neighbor. ”

Qin Huairu slapped his head suddenly, he was really in a hurry today, and he didn't even think of such a simple thing.

Qin Huairu rushed to the third master's house at that time.

At this time, the third master was cooking, and when he saw Qin Huailu walking in, he asked curiously, "Qin Huairu." Have your in-laws been picked up by other men? You're going to make a delicious meal at noon today, right? ”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu said angrily: "Don't mention the three masters, the time has come to this point, Zhang Dafa hasn't come yet, and now my in-laws are a little anxious." So I want your Yan Jiecheng to go to Zhang's father's house to take a look, what happened? ”

The third master also realized the seriousness of the problem, although he didn't look down on the Jia family.

He can't look down on Jia Zhang's family, but after all, they are all neighbors in the compound, and he can't watch the Jia family run into big trouble.

The third master shouted into the inner room, "Yan Jiecheng, hurry up." ”

Yan Jiecheng was sleeping in the house.

Hearing the shout, he rubbed his eyes and walked out.

"Yan Jiecheng, you go to the lumber mill compound now, find Zhang Dafa, and ask why he didn't come to pick up Jia Zhang's family."

Yan Jiecheng didn't want to pay attention to the Jia family's affairs at all.

It was only when he heard the third master say this that he reluctantly agreed.

He rode his bicycle all the way to the lumber mill compound.

Same as last time.

Yan Jiecheng also encountered a group of ladies squatting at the gate of the compound.

He asked those aunties: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to find Zhang Dafa, where is his house?" Please show me the way. ”

When those ladies heard this, they all looked at Yan Jiecheng with mocking eyes.

Yan Jiecheng felt a little inexplicable.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

One of the eldest ladies stood up and said, "I advise you not to go to Zhang Dafa." ”

"Why?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

The lady said: "Zhang Dafa has already released his words, he will not go to the Jia Zhang family in your compound." ”

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng was stunned.

This is a good marriage, why did it change when it came time to get married?

It's just that Yan Jiecheng's purpose this time is to see Zhang Dafa.

He smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I came today to ask Zhang Dafa about this matter, as for whether they get married or not, it has nothing to do with me, I just hope you can help me show the way." ”

After those eldest ladies figured out the situation, they didn't feel embarrassed.

One of the eldest ladies led Yan Jiecheng to Zhang Dafa's door.

Yan Jiecheng knocked on Zhang Dafa's door.

After a few moments, Zhang Dafa opened the door.

"Who are you?" He looked at Yan Jiecheng and said.

Yan Jiecheng replied: "I am Yan Jiecheng of the three great masters in the courtyard. This time I came to you because of your marriage to Jia Zhang, and now it's almost noon, why don't you go to marry your family? ”

After Yan Jiecheng explained his intentions in the future, Zhang Dafa did not answer him, but said with a smile: "Yan Jiecheng." You've just arrived, now accompany me to the courtyard. ”

Yan Jiecheng was very happy at first, he thought that Zhang Dafa had already figured it out and was going to marry Jia Zhang in the courtyard.

But when he saw Zhang Dafa going out alone, he felt that something was wrong.

"Zhang Dafa, what do you want to do in the courtyard this time?" Yan Jiecheng asked curiously.

Zhang Dafa patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Zhang Dafa walked out of the house with Yan Jiecheng.

As soon as he had not taken two steps, four or five young men came by.

They looked at Zhang Dafa and said, "Uncle Zhang, are you going to the courtyard today?" ”

Zhang Dafa nodded at them.

The young men suddenly came to their senses, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, then let's go with you." ”

Zhang Dafa said with relief: "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

Zhang Dafa has no children, but he is a very good-hearted person who often helps others in the compound.

These young people are the ones who have received his help.

Especially the one who took the lead, named Huang Jun.

His parents died just after he was born, and he had to live with his grandmother.

His grandmother also had no formal job and could only make a living by doing odd jobs, so it was very difficult for the two of them.

Zhang Dafa often helped them after moving into the compound.

Every time Zhang Dafa's family is ready, they will be served a delicious meal.

What's more important is to wait until Huang Jun reaches the age of going to school. Because the family is too poor to pay the tuition.

In this year and month.

Students need two dollars and five cents to go to school.

This may not seem like a lot of money, but many people can't afford it.

Zhang Dafa after learning about this situation.

deliberately and secretly helped Huang Jun pay his tuition, and he didn't tell anyone else in the compound or Huang Jun's grandmother about it.

Huang Jun really thought that there was a kind-hearted person at the beginning, and by chance he helped him pay his tuition, and he knew that the kind-hearted person was Zhang Dafa.

Since then, Huang Jun has had a better relationship with Zhang Dafa, and he even regards Zhang Dafa as his father.

After learning that he was going to the courtyard this time, he immediately pulled a group of friends to help Zhang Dafa.

Zhang Dafa knew Huang Jun's thoughts, nodded and said, "You can go, but remember not to make trouble, we are not going to make trouble for them this time." ”

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, we are no longer children and know what to do."

Zhang Dafa saw that these people understood the intention of this time, so he didn't say anything more, and left the courtyard with them.

Yan Jiecheng had been watching from the side, feeling that something was wrong with this matter, but he didn't stop it.

Because he is also happy to see the people of the Jia family unlucky.

The group came to the courtyard with high spirits.

At this time, the residents in the courtyard had not dispersed.

Some of them knew Zhang Dafa, and when they saw Zhang Dafa walking over with someone, they immediately cheered.

"Come and see the bridegroom is coming, the bridegroom is coming."

"This groom looks quite young, not like he is in his fifties at all."

"Jia Zhang's family is blessed this time."

Those residents gave Zhang Dafa directions.

The third master also saw this scene and felt that something was wrong, and beckoned to Yan Jiecheng, wanting to find out what was going on.

But at this time, Yan Jiecheng was in a hurry to see the excitement, so he didn't pay attention to him at all.

The three masters had no choice but to follow the back of the team.

If something unexpected happens, he can stop him as soon as possible.

After all, now the first uncle's family is holding a happy event, the second uncle is giving birth in the hospital, and the only housekeeper in the courtyard is him, the third uncle.

A group of people walked towards Jia's house.

At this time, Jia Zhang was squatting in the house and crying.

"This conscienceless Zhang Dafa, my wife is ready, but he didn't come, what kind of face will I have in the future? I'm dead. ”

Qin Huailu also knew that if he persuaded Jia Zhang's family at this time, it would be useless.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside.

Qin Huairu hurriedly walked to the door, he saw Zhang Dafa coming over, and hurriedly shouted excitedly: "Dafa is here, Zhang Dafa is here." ”

When Jia Zhang heard this, he quickly stood up and wiped away his tears, and burst into laughter.

He walked to the door, pointed at Zhang Dafa and said, "You old thing, today is the day of the two of us with a capital letter, you dare to be late, and now if you don't give me ten yuan, I will definitely not go out of this door." ”

Qin Huairu didn't expect Jia Zhang's to have such a means, and his eyes lit up and said, "Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Dafa, you should make amends for your mistakes, don't you know that my mother waited for you here for a morning today.

Ten dollars is still less, and I said I should give you twenty dollars. ”

The onlookers all pursed their lips when they heard the words of the two.

The family opened and closed their mouths full of money, and they simply fell into the eyes of money.

It's just that they, as residents of the courtyard, are embarrassed to say anything.

Zhang Dafa looked at the two and suddenly laughed.

The laughter left both of them a little confused.

Jia Zhang said timidly: "Just sent it, if you don't want to pay." I don't want to, I'll go with you now, and the two of us will get married. ”

Qin Huairu also said: "Yes, Uncle Zhang, we were joking with you just now, we are now a family, how can we ask for your money?" ”

Zhang Dafa looked at the antics of the two and said coldly: "I came here today to tell you. I'm going to divorce you. ”

This sentence was like a thunderclap, ringing in Jia Zhang's ears.

Jia Zhang was a little incredible, looked at Zhang Dafa and said: "Zhang Dafa, I am wholeheartedly devoted to you, you don't want me now, do you still have a little conscience?"

In addition, in order to marry you, I have already told my relatives and friends about it. Now the big guys know it. You even said that you won't marry me again.

Are you playing with me? ”

Zhang Dafa said: "Jia Zhang, what you said is not wrong, I am indeed playing with you." ”

As soon as the words came out, the onlookers were stunned.

"What the hell is going on? The two said that they were going to get married, why did Zhang Dafa suddenly change his mind? ”

"yes, yes. This is also too strange, I don't think this Zhang Dafa is a bad person. ”

"Now that Qin Huairu doesn't want money, he should agree."

Sandaye, feeling that Zhang Dafa was a bit of a bully, stepped forward to look at Zhang Dafa and said, "Zhang Dafa, the news that you and Jia Zhang's marriage is going to be spread out." The residents in our compound already know about it, and now you suddenly say that you won't get married. What do you want Jia Zhang to do?

I'm telling you, you're going to be criticized for doing that. ”

In this day and age, behavior like Zhang Dafa will not only be morally condemned, but may also be dealt with by the street office.

Zhang Dafa faced the accusations of the three masters, and said in a deep voice: "The three masters." I don't know who I am. ”

The third master closed his mouth and looked at Zhang Dafa.

Zhang Dafa turned his head to look at the crowd of onlookers again, and said loudly: "You may not know. My name is Zhang Dafa and I am from Zhangjiazhuang. ”

Hearing someone in the crowd here, he said: "Isn't Zhangjiazhuang from the same village as Jia Zhang's family?" ”

Zhang Dafa nodded and said, "That's right, I do belong to the same village as Jia Zhang's family."

In fact, the two of us were childhood sweethearts when we were younger.

Even already engaged.

In order to get engaged to Jia Zhang's family, my family sold the only cow.

Who knew that later Jia Zhang's family ran away without saying a word in order to marry in the city.

Can you imagine it?

My family was almost ruined because of Jia Zhang's family, and my relatives also knew about it, and they all thought I was useless.

Jia Zhang's family didn't like me, so he told me.

During those difficult years, I had several thoughts of suicide.

But then I figured it out again.

It's not my fault.

But in Jia Zhang's family, I don't need to punish myself for this. ”

After listening to Zhang Dafa's words, the residents couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my God, there is such a secret behind this matter."

"This Jia Zhang is really not a good thing, he abandoned Zhang Dafa in order to enjoy life in the city."

"I saw that the reason why Zhang Dafa wanted to go to Jia Zhang's family, and now he has abandoned Jia Zhang's family, is to avenge the revenge of the year."

"I think this matter is normal, people have revenge, there is nothing to blame"

Jia Zhang didn't expect this to be the case.

He looked at Zhang Dafa with an incredulous look and said, "Zhang Dafa." It was indeed my fault that I left you back then. But you're also a big man, can't you have a bigger belly? Besides, haven't I decided to marry you now? Why are you still picky? ”

Hearing Jia Zhang's words, Zhang Dafa almost laughed out loud.
