Chapter 20: Mom and Dad Romance
Midsummer Solstice's mother, the current village head of Xiaocun Village, is known as Lei Yishu, because Bai Lu was born that day, her nickname is Bai Lu, and the people in the rivers and lakes call her 'Sister Bai Lu', and she is the first college student in Xiaocun Village.
Her education didn't go well.
Midsummer Solstice's grandfather, who is Sister Bai Lu's father, died in Sister Bai Lu's sophomore year of high school.
My grandfather was the only doctor in the village, and he was honest and didn't have much savings. At that time, Lei Jingzhen was still young, and with this money, the sisters and brothers couldn't survive at all, and Sister Bai Lu wanted to drop out of school.
Her grades were very good, and the school repeatedly retained her, promising to waive her tuition fees.
Frankly speaking, Sister Bai Lu was moved, and she wanted to continue going to school. But she still has a younger brother.
Lei was still young at the time, he needed to be taken care of in life, and he also had to go to school.
He needs tuition, and the living expenses of his sister and brother are also a lot of expenses.
The school couldn't come up with so much money, so the school leaders had no choice but to discuss it with the village chief and the village party secretary. At that time, everyone was poor, and their own lives were searching, although they sympathized with the old village doctor's children, but they couldn't do anything.
At the height of the summer solstice, Dad stepped forward.
Sheng's father's name is Sheng Qingming, he is the most handsome guy in the village, and he is a junior high school classmate with Sister Bai Lu.
However, his brain was not good, and after he was barely admitted to high school, he stopped going to school after only one year, and went home to learn to be a carpenter with the master in the next village.
He is very good at craftsmanship and kind, and in just one year, he has become famous in the town.
Out of the awe of the scumbag for the scholars, Sheng Qingming almost didn't talk to Sister Bai Lu, and the two were not familiar with each other.
After knowing the news that Sister Bai Lu dropped out of school, he thought hard all day. That night, taking advantage of the night, he slipped into Sister Bai Lu's house.
In order to make this conversation more formal, he deliberately imitated what he looked like on TV, dressed in his best clothes, and stole mousse.
"I, I, I'm here to talk to you, to negotiate a deal."
He sat in the living room of Sister Bai Lu's house and said very seriously: "You, you have to continue to go to school, and I will give you tuition."
But I didn't give it to you for nothing, you have to pay me back after you work. ”
In front of Sister Bai Lu, Sheng Qingming was always nervous. Fortunately, the first sentence is spoken, and the rest is much easier:
"You don't have to be burdened, it's that, invest, invest you know. More profitable than depositing in the bank.
I've observed, you, your hands-on ability is too poor, and every time you take a labor class, the things you make are not the same.
Your advantage is that you have a good brain, and you shouldn't make money with something you're not good at.
Go back to school, study hard, and get into a good university. It may be hard at first, but life will be much easier after that.
You can live better, don't, don't live up to yourself. ”
Although he is very honest in front of Sister Bai Lu, Sheng Qingming is not a calm person. When he went to school, he was there for every violation of discipline.
Sister Bai Lu thought at first that this person was here to take advantage of herself and wanted to beat him out. Later, I thought he was mentally ill and was willing to spend money on strangers.
She was indifferent, but he didn't give up, he talked for a long time, and said a lot, and in the end, Bai Lu was persuaded by him.
But she still hesitated: "But my brother is still young—"
Sheng Qingming helped people to the end: "I'll take care of you." I also have a younger brother and I am very good at taking care of small children. ”
Sister Bai Lu was not at ease: "We are not familiar with each other, do you think I can rest assured that I can hand over my brother to you." ”
Sheng Qingming is an extroverted personality, and after chatting with Sister Bai Lu for so long, he has already regarded her as a friend: "Folks in the township, why don't you know each other?" Besides, I gave you all the money, and if I want to treat your brother badly, you can just deduct the money. ”
He was very sincere and came with money.
They took care of the relevant matters that night, and the next day Sister Bai Lu was driven back to school by him.
Sheng Qingming is really good at getting along with children. The Lei family is an introverted character, and the first time Lei Jingzhen encountered this kind of self-cooked big brother, he was very vigilant, and always felt that he had bad intentions.
As a result, in less than a week, the children were conquered by Sheng Qingming, shouting 'Brother Qingming' one by one, as if the two were brothers.
At first, Sister Bai Lu was not at ease, so she chose to go to school and went home to see her brother every day. Seeing that the two got along well, she put her mind at ease and prepared for the college entrance examination wholeheartedly.
She did well in the college entrance examination, applied for a normal university, the school does not charge tuition, and she also has a scholarship of her own, which can cover most of the living expenses, but Sheng Qingming still provided her with four years of study.
He told Sister Bai Lu not to be reluctant to spend money, and he asked her to enjoy her college years.
During this period, Sheng Qingming was also responsible for Lei Jingzhen's tuition and living expenses.
Their affairs have always been very secretive, and Sheng Qingming did not tell anyone, including his family.
But the matter was still exposed.
Although the two of them are low-key, Sheng Qingming's care for Lei Jingzhen is not fake, and there have always been some hidden rumors in the village.
When Sister Bai Lu was in her junior year, Sheng Qingming's mother, who was the grandmother of the midsummer solstice, accidentally learned his real salary.
The old lady is in charge of the family finances, holding the family's money in her hands, and does not allow others to touch it. To no avail of her eldest son's questioning, she rummaged through his room, pried him into a drawer, and finally found the IOU.
The old lady didn't recognize many words, but the young son read it to her.
The old lady couldn't do it on the spot, so she went home to Sheng Qingming to confront him, scolded him, said that he was tossing around, and asked him to get the money back.
Uncle Sheng Xia Zhi was in secondary school at that time, and he also followed the help, saying that his brother's arm turned out to make money for outsiders to spend.
Sheng Qingming was not angry, and reasoned with his family: "I said that the younger brother went to school in vain, and you still don't believe it." Little brother, you know you don't have a brain.
This money is given to Lei Yishu, which can provide for a college student, the only college student in our village. What's the use of giving you, it's better to feed the pigs. Pigs can grow meat when they eat it, and the younger brother will pull it when they eat it, and waste paper. ”
Grandma Sheng and Uncle Sheng were half angry, but they both knew Sheng Qingming's temper.
This person looks like he is easy to speak, but in fact he is the most stubborn, and no one can change what he decides.
Grandma Sheng was still not convinced, and felt that the money could not be taken out in vain, so she gossiped that Sheng Qingming and Sister Bai Lu were in love, and when Sister Bai Lu graduated from college, the two would get married, and their old Sheng family wanted to have a college student daughter-in-law.
The rumors first spread to Lei Jingzhen, who was very happy and felt that he and his sister and brother were a happy family.
He happily asked Sheng Qingming for verification, but Sheng Qingming was very angry.
He quickly found the source of the rumors, and for the first time he lost his temper at his family:
"Mom, you're so disrespectful, you actually slandered other girls' reputations, you let Lei Yishu behave in the future."
Grandma Sheng really didn't know what her eldest son was pretending to be in his brain, and scolded: "You don't want anything, why do you let the Lei family girl spend your money in vain." You're still losing your temper at your mom for her, are you human! ”
Sheng Qingming didn't give an inch: "She didn't spend my money in vain, she will pay it back to me in the future." The price of pork has fallen and risen, and the value of the money will always be maintained.
At the beginning, our family had no money, didn't Dr. Lei also cure Dad's illness, and we paid back the money after a long time. How embarrassed you are to be so mean to his daughter! ”
In the small village, almost everyone owes Mrs. Lei a favor, and when he was mentioned, Grandma Sheng's momentum became shorter, and she muttered: "Didn't you pay back the money in the end." ”
Sheng Qingming said: "Lei Yishu will also pay me back." Mom, it's not easy for her to be a girl, don't make a mess. ”
After this conversation, Grandma Sheng relented and didn't say anything about the relationship between her eldest son and Sister Bai Lu, but she didn't clarify the scandal.
She still doesn't want Sister Bai Lu to spend her father's money in vain, and always wants to collect some interest.
Sheng Qingming is also a ruthless person, so he directly found the matchmaker and arranged several blind dates for himself.
Lei was too young to understand this kind of thing. He chased Sheng Qingming and asked, "Since you want to marry a wife, why don't you marry my sister?" My sister is prettier than the girls you've been on a blind date. Although she has a bad temper, she is very smart. ”
Sheng Qingming corrected: "Your sister doesn't have a bad temper, it's you who always make her angry." ”
Lei was stunned and protested: "No, no, it's just that she has a bad temper." You see you're never angry — wait a minute, did you deliberately interrupt and didn't want to answer my question? ”
In the end, Lei Jingzhen didn't ask for an answer from Sheng Qingming.
However, once, he overheard Sheng Qingming chatting with Yin Jianjun.
Yin Jianjun asked: "Lao Sheng, I can see that I haven't been in love, our Sister Bai Lu likes you." What do you mean, you don't look down on our squad leader. ”
"What nonsense." Sheng Qingming smiled softly and sadly: "She, she's so good, she should have a vast world, and nothing can restrain her."
Money can't, love can't, and neither can I. ”
After a long time, Lei Jingzhen had forgotten all the details of that night, but he always remembered Sheng Qingming's expression and his words.
Sheng Qingming tossed so many things, but he refused to reveal them to Sister Bai Lu at all. He didn't say it himself, and he didn't allow the thunder to say it.
But Sister Bai Lu knows it clearly. The head of the small village and the head of MI6 was cultivated since childhood, and Ms. Liu and Sister Bai Lu are best friends.
Sister Bai Lu stood still, pretending that she didn't know anything.
As in the past, she called Sheng Qingming once a month to share her college life.
When graduation was approaching, Sister Bai Lu made the last call to Sheng Qingming. She told him that because of her excellent grades, a key middle school in the city decided to hire her.
Sheng Qingming was happy for her from the bottom of his heart, he said a lot of words of encouragement, and said that he would send her money to buy beautiful clothes to go to work.
Sister Bai Lu didn't hear the answer she wanted, and hung up his phone angrily.
She never confiscated his money again, didn't answer his letters, and didn't answer his phone calls.
Until one day, when Sheng Qingming and his blind date met for the second time, she appeared in a high-profile manner and disturbed the date between the two.
She gave up her key job in the city and returned to teach at a small-town high school.
In the end, Sister Bai Lu did not pay back the money.
She married him.
