However, I suddenly remembered another thing: Sister Yun's parents have always opposed Sister Yun and Wang Xiaofeng's marriage, and now Wang Xiaofeng's family has fallen into such a situation: his father is disabled, Wang Xiaofeng has dropped out of school, books have been burned, and there is no hope of going to college, will they still promise their daughter to marry Wang Xiaofeng at this time? So I asked Sister Yun again: "Do your parents agree to get married at this time?" ”

"Agreed. - I agreed, what if they don't? Sister Yun smiled slightly. I said, "Your parents just don't agree, what are you going to do?" Eloped with Wang Xiaofeng? Sister Yun shook her head: "How can it get to that point?" First, my parents understood my heart and determination, and they were not so stubborn; Second, I cut it first and then played, first went to the township government with Wang Xiaofeng to get the marriage certificate, and then told my parents, they just didn't agree, we didn't hold a ceremony at all, and it was reasonable and legal to live together in public. ”

I smiled, pointed at Sister Yun and said, "It seems that you have thought of the idea, and your parents' thoughts and tempers have also made you feel thorough; You have obtained the marriage certificate first, and you are already a sure and legal husband and wife, and they will agree if they don't agree. ”

Sister Yun smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that they didn't scold me less, saying that I was too stupid, I was deceived by Wang Xiaofeng's family, and I didn't want to marry a poor man." I said: "What are you afraid of, Wang Baochuan lives in a cold kiln and is willing to marry Xue Pinggui, not to mention that Wang Xiaofeng's family has three thatched houses." My parents said to me: "Do you think that he Wang Xiaofeng is Xue Pinggui, and he can be the king of Pingxi in the future?" You are Wang Baochuan, ten years of cold kiln, can you be the queen in the future? Fart! That's all storytelling, singing, and deceptive lies! His family asked you to get married at this time, because his father was crippled and couldn't work, Wang Xiaofeng didn't understand anything, and asked you to go over and work for his family. You can't see through that? You're such a fool! I've never seen you so stupid in the world! ”

"You're going to be scolded in peace?" I asked.

"Of course, I'm not reconciled. I replied to them, what happened to Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan? Isn't it worth learning and admiring love and wealth over love? I just want to follow their example! I advise you, don't follow the example of the prime minister Wang Cheng who hates the poor and loves the rich, and you will be infamous for all generations, so that future generations will scold you, how ugly it is, it's just shameful! You take a long-term view, your son-in-law is a talent, knowledgeable, talented, no worse than Xue Pinggui, he will eventually come out, and he will not be poor for a lifetime. The days when your daughters will wear gold and silver are ahead! How could they believe these words? What's the use of saying that Wang Xiaofeng reads? Why don't you go home and farm? said that I don't listen to the old man, I suffer in front of me, I don't listen to their words, and now I marry Xiaofeng, I will suffer hardships when I pass the door, and I will regret it in the future. He also said that President Li's son is not married yet, and as long as I agree, his family can still be willing. ”

"What? That guy still doesn't give up on you? ”

"Don't give up. Once when he met me on the street, he took the initiative to greet me and invited me to his house to play. I ignored him and walked over. ”

"It seems that your parents are not dead to President Li's family. Alas! If Xiaofeng is better off when he is admitted to university, and now that his father is crippled and he comes home to farm, your parents will inevitably lose confidence in him. ”

"That's what they think, I don't think that. I'd rather follow Xiaofeng to farm and suffer for the rest of my life than enjoy happiness with that kind of ruffian. I thought about it, although I suffered with Xiaofeng, I was steady; Follow him to enjoy happiness, but his heart is not steady, I am afraid that sooner or later he will go to prison, and I will guard the empty room. Did you know? Xiao Li went to the police station several times because he injured people in a group fight, but thanks to his father being the head of the township and having a big face, he was able to save it. My parents heard me say this, and they heard about some of the evil deeds of President Li's son, and they didn't force me too much. It's just that I'm still not satisfied with the current situation of Xiaofeng's family, saying that I will suffer and suffer sins in the future. ”

"After getting married, live a good life, and when your life is good, your parents will have no opinion. - They have a little opinion now, and they are still worried about your life suffering. Parents love their daughters and think so. "I comforted Sister Yun like this.

Speaking of buying wedding dresses, I introduced to Sister Yun that there are many better clothes in shopping malls now, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Europe and the United States, what brand of clothing are available, what colors and colors you want, what styles you want, prices range from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan, tens of thousands of yuan, everything, very beautiful! The choice is yours. I can't afford a dress for a month's salary, so it takes months to buy a decent one. I really envy those rich people, as long as they fancy clothes, they will buy them, and they don't talk about the price at all. Sister Yun listened and said shyly, how can I afford such expensive clothes, just a set of a few tens of yuan. In the final analysis, we are rural people, and we have to work in the fields, and that kind of fancy dress is not applicable, and we can't wear it in the countryside at all. I said that it is rare to get married once in a lifetime, and if you don't wear a wedding dress, you should always wear a decent wedding dress. Sister Yun said, now Xiaofeng's family is in difficulty, my family still has two younger brothers to say that they want to spend money, and they can't take out much money, just forget it, we will have money ourselves in the future, and it is not too late to buy good clothes, where will we be old?

Sister Yun's words naturally contain false elements, she sings and acts on stage, and she loves to be fashionable and beautiful when she wears clothes, which is a fact that everyone knows. The reason is self-evident, it is that there is little money, shyness in pocket, and cannot afford to buy good clothes. I didn't understand a little and asked Sister Yun: "Wang Xiaofeng's family should be rich now, didn't the construction station compensate his father a lot of money?" Sister Yun calculated the account for Wang Xiaofeng's family and said: "The construction station finally lost 6,000 yuan, and paid off Xiaofeng's money borrowed from others for medical treatment, and there are still more than 2,000 yuan left; Give me a thousand dollars, and I took six hundred; At the moment, it costs money to do a happy event, and his father has to spend money to see a doctor and take medicine, so what money is there? ”

In this way, Wang Xiaofeng's family really doesn't have much money. I said, "How do you lose this money?" Too little! This is the second half of a healthy person's life. The current social system is different from what it used to be, and we stress the legal system in doing things and pay attention to seeking truth from facts. You can't be too honest, you have to make trouble if you should make trouble, and it is also allowed to sue according to the law. In short, it is necessary to make the matter clear and clear so that the broad masses of the people and leaders at all levels know about it, so that the leaders will feel that the matter is serious and there is pressure from the masses, so that they can make more compensation. ”

Sister Yun shook her head and said, why didn't you make trouble? More than a dozen people went from the two families together, and even my two eldest brothers were called; Xiao Feng wrote another complaint, printed dozens of copies, and posted them all over the street. They said that we had spent too much on medical expenses and hospitality, and only promised to compensate 5,000 yuan. We disagreed, saying that our good man was crippled and could no longer work in the fields, what would happen to his life in the future? They said that it was caused by strong winds, natural disasters, not man-made, and that we gave timely treatment to save their lives, which is already a blessing compared to the dead, and the compensation cannot be increased. We said that it was always caused by your poor scaffolding, and that it could not all be caused by natural disasters, and then we pulled two disabled people with a board cart and let them sit side by side in front of the township government, one with a broken leg and one with a broken arm, and the situation was very tragic. The onlookers were very angry when they saw it, and they told us to go to the court to file a complaint. In this way, they felt pressured, so they added 1,000 yuan.

I asked the deceased man's family how much he would pay for? Sister Yun said 15,000 yuan. I said, why did his family pay so much compensation? Sister Yun said that first, people died, and people's lives were at stake; Second, his family made a lot of trouble, and the corpse insisted on not being buried, first in the courtyard of the construction station, and then in the courtyard of the township government.

I said, one is that none of you have signed a contract, and there is no basis for paying more or less; The other construction station is a township unit, and it is probably true that there is not so much money. Sister Yun nodded and said, after this accident, I heard that the construction station is going to close down, and in the future, it will be contracted by individuals, and the machinery and equipment of the construction station will be rented to them, and some rental fees will be recovered as office expenses, and the rest of the affairs will not be taken care of. In this way, I feel that the construction station is actually very pitiful.

We came to Huatian Shopping Mall, which is the largest and most luxurious store in the county, with good goods and complete colors. But at first glance, the price is frighteningly expensive, and the lowest set of clothes costs a few hundred yuan. Sister Yun said, the clothes here are not something I can afford to wear, let's go to the small shop below.

Leaving Huatian Shopping Mall, she ran to two small shops, and Sister Yun chose two dresses with saffron silk on a shallow bottom and spent more than 100 yuan. I said that when I became a bride, I always had to buy a decent one, and I helped her choose a set of red tweed suit skirts, which cost more than 200 yuan. I also suggested that she buy a set of silk pajamas, but Sister Yun disagreed, saying that she should buy a set for Xiaofeng. I said, he got married without buying new clothes? She said no, and Xiaofeng said that he would just wear the suit I had bought for him. She said, "Where's that?" It's not old, it's not new. So she bought Wang Xiaofeng a gray chemical fiber suit, and spent more than 100 yuan. I said buy another pair of leather shoes, bride, from head to toe. Sister Yun said, no, there is a new pair of leather shoes at home. I asked what color it was, and she said black. I said that it would not work, it was unlucky, and the bride's shoes had to be red to be festive. She looked at the money in her hand and shook her head, meaning that the money was no longer enough. I said, I bought you leather shoes, even if I paid the congratulatory gift money first. So I bought her a pair of half-heeled red shoes. With the rest of the money, Sister Yun bought two more cheap cosmetics.

Sister Yun had to be my bridesmaid when she got married, so I had to take a day off to go home. According to our local custom, the day before our daughter's marriage is called "urging makeup". That night, Sister Yun and I slept together. I asked her, "You have been looking forward to it for so many years, and you got married so hastily, don't you regret it?" Sister Yun said, "What do you regret? I love him as a person, not because I love his family's gifts, nor because I love him as a college student. Poor, what are you afraid of? If you are poor, you will think about change, and if you want to do it, you must make a revolution. Now that the land has been contracted to the household, after getting married, the two of us will work hard, can we still go hungry? ”

I looked at Sister Yun's graceful appearance and asked, "You don't plan to participate in the performance of the literary and artistic propaganda team in the future?" Sister Yun frowned and sighed: "In the future, how can I still have time to participate in the performance?" His father is disabled, he can't work in the fields, not to mention, he has to take care of his mother, so much work at home and in the field, it's not enough for me to be busy? ”

"It's a pity that you have such a good voice and good looks! In the future, the people in our village, and so many people in the surrounding villages, will have no chance, no blessing, and hear and see you singing and acting! Don't you think it's a pity that you've studied and acted for so many years? "I deeply feel sorry for Sister Yun.

Sister Yun sighed again, shook her head slowly, and said: "The literary and artistic propaganda team in the village is not a professional literary and artistic group, it does not pay salaries, and it doesn't care about food, but it is just taking advantage of the agricultural slack or holidays to sing and sing to make everyone happy and happy, and it can't be regarded as a career." It is better to plant the contracted land in a down-to-earth manner and collect more grain, so as not to go hungry. I said: "Now that the reform and opening up, the people's living standards have improved, singing and acting are booming, and they can make a lot of money!" I heard that a popular actor can make hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars when he makes a movie or TV series! If you are a popular singer, you can earn thousands, or even tens of thousands, if you sing a song! ”

Sister Yun said: "People are big stars and big actors, not comparable to those of us; Even the actors of the county troupe can't compare. I heard that the county troupe is no longer paying salaries, and what kind of self-financing is about to disintegrate! I said, "It is a fact that the county troupe is self-financed and has dissolved; However, the actors are not unemployed, they are free to combine and perform in other groups, which can turn a lot of money! Those who can sing opera form a troupe, called the Jianghuai Opera Society, contact themselves, and go to the countryside to perform, I heard that it is more prosperous than before! Those who can sing and dance form a troupe, called the New Era Song and Dance Troupe, where they are invited to perform, and make more and more money; I heard that singers' salaries are many times higher than before! ”

So I persuaded Sister Yun: "With your strength and fame, you can also participate in the drama club and song and dance troupe." Sister Yun shook her head: "Where can I go." Besides, I am illiterate, uneducated, and I have to rely on people to teach me to sing and sing. Now that society is changing so fast, one day at a time, I can't keep up with the pace of others, and I am uncomfortable being dragged down. She sighed, then said, "I don't want to dream of the stage anymore." I can run a family and farm with Xiaofeng for the rest of my life, help and take care of each other, no matter how hard and tired I am, I am willing. Singing, acting, as an amateur hobby. I haven't performed on stage for a long time, I'm used to it, and I don't feel sorry. ”

I was very moved when I heard it, and I admired Sister Yun's sincere and pure love for Wang Xiaofeng, so it was inconvenient to persuade her to go out to join the art group and continue to sing and act. Since then, Sister Yun has really become the housewife of the Wang family and the main laborer of farming, sweating on sunny days, mud on rainy days, hard work, and the life of the Wang family has gradually improved.
