Chapter 2 Blind Date
Xiao Hong was awakened by a nightmare again, and for a while she couldn't tell whether she was thirty-eight years old or eighteen.
She picked up a round mirror with a red plastic frame the size of a palm from the pillow.
The girl in the mirror has fair skin, a round face with a little baby fat, and her eyebrows that have not been retouched look a little rough, but her apricot eyes are bright and cute.
She smiled a little happily, and the young girl in the mirror looked even better when she smiled.
No wonder when grandma was alive, she often said that she liked to see her laugh.
Grandma Xiao gave birth to two daughters and two sons.
It's a pity that Xiao's sister-in-law died of a sudden illness when she was more than ten years old.
This has always made Grandma Xiao regret in her heart, at that time, the child had a fever, and she was fed some medicine, but she was not sent to the hospital, who knew that the little daughter died like this.
Therefore, although Grandma Xiao was dissatisfied with the fact that her daughter-in-law gave birth to two girls, when she saw that Xiao Hong was similar to her youngest daughter who died young, she doted on her eldest granddaughter more and more.
It can be said that when Grandma Xiao was still alive, even Xiao Jianhua, his father, couldn't scold Xiao Hong, otherwise he would be scolded by Grandma Xiao.
Even if Liu Meijuan gave birth to her son Xiao Yuhang later, she didn't let her mother-in-law's heart come back.
is mainly Grandma Xiao's eldest daughter, as well as her eldest daughter-in-law, who gave birth to two sons and one daughter.
Her old man is not uncommon, and grandchildren are no longer rare.
Xiao Hong is also spoiled by Grandma Xiao's simple temperament, has no ideas of her own, and is not good enough.
Otherwise, I wouldn't listen to my parents, and I felt that my grades in high school were poor and I couldn't get into a good university, so it was better to get married early.
If he hadn't been too stupid in the past, he wouldn't have thought that the Zhao family was a good family.
He would not run back to his parents' house after being beaten, but he listened to the persuasion of his stepmother, and felt that women should be virtuous and capable, and they should swallow their anger when they are wronged, and they want a woman to fight for two families.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hong couldn't help but scold herself for being stupid.
However, not now, she will definitely fight for herself to create a life that is different from her dreams.
The Xiao family has three mud embryo black tile houses, and the land is very clean and compacted.
Xiao Hong lived with her grandmother in the easternmost room from the beginning, with the kitchen in front and people in the back.
In the middle is the living room, and behind the partition is the small room where Lou Xiangxiang lives.
The other room is Xiao Jianhua's room, where people live in the back, and in front of them are some cabinets for rice and bottles and cans for rice and noodles.
The yard is also fenced with mud embryos, and there are toilets and pigsties in the corners, and there are two tall grapefruit trees on the side.
Strings are pulled between the grapefruit trees to dry clothes.
However, the flesh of these two grapefruit trees is very sour and astringent, and they can't be eaten at all, but they just look good.
There are also tractors parked in the middle of the yard, making the originally spacious yard narrow.
Xiao Jianhua was taken away by the police, Lou Fenfang also took Xiao Yuhang to their grandmother's house two days ago, and now Liu Meijuan doesn't know where to go, and Xiao Hong is left alone at home.
After Xiao Hong freshened up, she came to the kitchen and found a cold pot and a cold stove.
She quickly started the fire with straw, boiled the water, took out the brown sugar in the biscuit box, put two spoonfuls of it, and knocked three eggs down.
In about ten minutes, a large bowl of brown sugar egg water is ready.
When she finished eating, she cleaned up the kitchen and walked around the water tank.
She still remembers that in the book in her dream, it was written that after two years of building a new house, after they moved the water tank out, they found that there was a bluestone slab underneath, and under the bluestone slab was a small box with a lot of good things in it.
It should be that Grandpa Xiao secretly got it back from the landlord's house when Hong Xiaobing was young.
It's a pity that when Grandpa Xiao went to town, the ox cart overturned and died unexpectedly, leaving no last words.
Grandma nagged her in private, saying that it would be good if she could find it and give her a dowry, but unfortunately Xiao Hong didn't pay attention to it at that time.
In the end, Xiao Jianhua and Liu Meijuan were cheaper, and they exchanged a lot of money privately and bought a house in the city.
Now that Xiao Hong knows, of course she doesn't want to cheapen them anymore.
But it was too much of a movement, and she didn't dare to do it now.
She was thinking in her heart that while Xiao Jianhua was eating free prison food, she would have another fight with Liu Meijuan, if she could make Liu Meijuan angry, then she would close the door at night and start digging treasures.
Just when she was pondering around a large water tank more than one meter high, Liu Meijuan came back with a large bag and a small bag.
She saw that Xiao Hong was wearing half-worn blue short sleeves and gray pants, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Xiaohong, your father is worried that your high school grades are not good, and you won't be able to take the exam in the future, so he specially found you a family with a good background." ”
"The Zhao family is from our town, and the family has contracted five or six fish ponds to raise lotus root and fish, and they can earn a lot of money every year."
"And Sister Zhao has a good temperament, her daughter's in-law has also contracted a supply and marketing cooperative, if you can enter the Zhao family, you will be able to enjoy happiness in the future."
Liu Meijuan kept saying good things about the Zhao family, and took out a new set of clothes and shoes from the bag, and asked her to hurry up and change them.
Xiao Hong didn't expect Xiao Jianhua to go in, but Liu Meijuan still didn't give up the idea.
She seemed to be shy to listen, and obediently took her new clothes in and changed them.
Speaking of which, Liu Meijuan's superficial kung fu did a good job, after her mother-in-law died last year, even if she wanted to rub Xiao Hong in her heart, but when she saw that Xiao Hong was good, she endured that breath, and instead pondered how to 'sell' her at a good price.
It's best to wait until you get married, and you can still remember your mother's family in your heart, so that is the most relieving.
When she saw Xiao Hong who had changed into new clothes, she couldn't help but be shaken.
Eighteen-year-old Xiao Hong is about 1.6 meters old, with white skin, wearing a pink trim top, a white skirt, and white pull-back sneakers.
Liu Meijuan saw that she was still tied with two braids, so she quickly removed her and combed them into a ponytail.
During this period, of course, he kept saying good things about the Zhao family.
For example, if Xiao Hong misses the Zhao family, she will not be able to get married, and she will regret it for life.
Xiao Hong is actually very unaccustomed to this body, the top is too short and fits too well.
If it weren't for her to let her down her guard, Xiao Hong would have wanted to turn her face with her immediately.
But Xiao Hong really didn't want to listen to the good words of the Zhao family anymore, so she pretended to be shy and said: "The Zhao family is so good, why don't you let Fragrance come back, maybe the Zhao family will take a fancy to Fragrance?" ”
Liu Meijuan choked.
Of course, she can't say that she doesn't look down on the Zhao family at all.
Zhao Long is short, not to mention, he has been spoiled since he was a child, and he didn't graduate from junior high school, so he mixed with those second-rate people, stealing chickens and touching dogs to make people suspicious.
Zhao's mother wanted to tell her son about her family, just to take the opportunity to collect her son's heart, so as not to fool around with those messy women.
But Zhao Long's reputation in the town has been bad, and he can't find a good family, so he is willing to pay 2,000 yuan as a dowry to find a handsome girl with a good temperament from the countryside.
