Chapter 37 How sad it is to get married

One

After spring and summer, Zhang Furui's leg healed. The pillars of the house stood up. He was busy day and night, and the life of the whole family improved, with gruel and rotten rice three meals a day, and finally imported food. The days are spent in hardship day by day, year after year, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaoyu is also a teenager, and now she has become a big girl. Although the marriage contract with the Qiu family was not mentioned back then, the two families knew each other well. It's just that the two children are too young to get married. One night, Qiu Ziqiang was full of sadness, and hurriedly came to Ni Lan and said: "Mother-in-law, now my family is also in a difficult situation, my son and mother don't know what disease he is suffering from, his limbs are weak, he can't afford to lie on the kang, my son and I are coarse-hearted, and it is not easy to serve." And if I serve, who will provide for my family? In order to solve the urgent need, I want to discuss with my mother-in-law and his wife to give birth to my son Baosheng to get married, I don't know what my mother-in-law and his wife think? ”

Ni Lan looked at Qiu Ziqiang and frowned, and said: "Since my mother-in-law is sick and can't take care of herself, and she urgently needs to be served, I have no opinion on my son's marriage in advance in order to solve my urgent needs, isn't it difficult for our two families to help each other?" What's more, Xiaoyu is already in the Qiu family, so there is no need to discuss the urgent need to employ people, you can marry whenever you want. ”

Qiu Ziqiang was full of joy at his mother-in-law's such generous and humane words, and he secretly whispered: His mother-in-law is really reasonable, kind-hearted, and thinks about others. But there is one thing that I have to say and can't hide in my heart, so I said: "Mother-in-law, you said that it is difficult for me to marry, I can't afford to marry?" First, I didn't have the money to buy a wedding, and second, I couldn't afford to hire anyone to help, so my life was not what it used to be in order to treat my son and his mother; Now the family is poor, and the days are sunset; I don't want to have a wedding, I don't want to leave a hole for my son; This wedding will definitely cause famine, and won't having a famine leave a future for his son? My thoughts are: Let Xiaoyu go directly to the marriage is over, what do you think? ”

Ni Lan listened to it and thought to herself: "What else can I say about doing it in front of me?" What's more, his family's life is not what it used to be, and when his family was living like a year, wasn't it his in-laws who helped him get through the difficulties? Also, every extra day I live in the world now is given by my in-laws, otherwise I would have returned to Huangquan Road. "Thinking of this, what else is there to say? So he said, "Good, good, good!" Just do what your in-laws say. In this way, it will not disturb others, save time and money for your own family, and avoid piling up debts for your son. ”

Qiu Ziqiang was full of joy when he heard his mother's words, and said, "Since you agree, let Xiaoyu go with me!" ”

Ni Lan thought: "This is too hasty, why do you have to let your daughter dress up and go clean?" Also, it's bad luck to get married on this big night, whose boy and girl get married at night? Only those who are married for the second time or widowed or divorced are married at night. There is another night of marriage according to superstition is unlucky, and at night the ghosts and ghosts come out to make trouble. Then he said, "How can a boy or a girl marry at night?" Tomorrow, let Baosheng come over and marry Xiaoyu a little earlier tomorrow. Qiu Ziqiang heard his mother-in-law say this, and felt that it was reasonable, so he no longer insisted on it. I thought to myself, "My wife is sick and needs someone to serve her, but I don't care about this night." So he said, "Okay, okay, that's what you say." The in-laws and mother-in-law decided on the marriage of the two children as they wished, and then he turned around and left.

Ni Lan sent her in-laws away, she said to her daughter: "Girl, you are going to get married tomorrow, your Qiu family's aunt is sick in Kang and urgently needs to be employed, you must take good care of her after you pass the door, and take care of the family." After a while, you go to wash up and go to bed early, and tomorrow you have to go to your in-laws' house early. ”

Xiaoyu silently listened to her mother's instructions. She never expected that being a bride would come so quickly, and her numb heart was at a loss, so she could only listen to her mother's narration. She was lying on the kang with dull eyes, I don't know why? I don't know if it's reluctant to give up my mother or no dowry, I don't know if it's pain or sadness, I don't know if it's joy or happiness, but the tears keep gushing and rolling, colliding with the turbulent heart. She could no longer bear the pain of this moment, so she quietly got up, sat quietly and thought, sobbed and choked, and waited for the rooster to crow. Endless tears, silent sobbing, accompanied by their restless heart through this difficult night, the night is nearly three watches, and the distant rooster cries directly into Xiaoyu's ears, more like knocking on her heart. She reluctantly got dressed and waited for Qiu Baosheng to marry.

The footsteps of "kicking" told Xiaoyu, "Qiu Baosheng is here, he is here to marry him." So, she quickly got off the kang, and her heart involuntarily kept 'jumping' with the kang, and it took a while to calm down.

Qiu Baosheng walked into the Chaimen earthen courtyard that was already waiting for him openly, and then entered the house and said, "Mom and Dad, you are good!" ”

"Okay, okay, you came just in time, Xiaoyu just packed up, you take Xiaoyu and leave, go home and make breakfast." Zhang Furui urged.

Qiu Baosheng looked at Xiaoyu and then said with admiration: "If you want to pack up, let's go, breakfast is still waiting for you to do that." ”

Xiao Yu thought: "After entering the Qiu family, the burden is pressed, and I will never be easy again." My mother-in-law will be well one day, if she is ...... Alas, my life is miserable! Thinking of this, tears rolled down, and she wiped away the tears with her hands to say goodbye to her parents and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving." Then she picked up the package and put it under her armpit with tears on her face and turned away, she didn't dare to look back at her parents, she was afraid that her parents would be sad, she was even more afraid that her parents would see her tears and see her pain, so she went straight out of the house. Qiu Baosheng said goodbye to his parents-in-law and said, "Take care of your second elder, we often come back to visit your second elder." After speaking, he silently walked out of his parents-in-law's house with Xiaoyu and went straight to his house.

All the way, Xiaoyu was silent, she wanted to get married, she wanted to get married, she wanted to get married, she wanted to ...... She wanted to ...... She thinks too much, too much. She wants to get married without a wedding banquet, no relatives and friends, no dowry, just a small package under her armpit and an empty heart. Recalling Yingge's marriage, it was really beautiful, twenty-four sedan chairs, surrounded by relatives and friends, the warm scene and the charming scene with infinite scenery are enviable. What is even more enviable is her figure in the sedan chair, her satin cheongsam that is red by the lights, her jeweled jewelry, the people in the streets and alleys are watching with anticipation, the drums and suona are singing, and the rich lady is not magnificent; Poor and sour people who want to marry themselves: a small package under the armpit, in which there is a pair of torn clothes with patches, a pair of old shoes, a comb with a toothless tooth, and a broken grate with a shaved head. This is the dowry of parents. With his parents' dowry under his arm, he went to his mother-in-law's house. It's so sad, it's so sad!!

Along the way, the husband looked at his shabby dowry and said, "I'll take the package for you." ”

"No, I don't have any clothes, and it's not heavy under my armpits, so I'll take it myself!" In this way, she was married to her in-law's family by her husband. There is no wedding, no wedding banquet, no relatives and friends, no friends, some just can't get married simply and have a sad heart, which can be described as the most poignant and painful marriage in the world. is the same person, the same woman, but the fate is so disparity, she is three feet three in the sky, and she is in the abyss. How can it be compared? I was thinking, "Is my life miserable?" Or is God deliberately creating injustice? "She doesn't know, she only knows the poor and the rich. She only knows the poor and the rich. I am a poor man, a poor man, and my life should be like this! I don't agree with this foolish statement, I don't accept my fate, and I don't bow to fate, I still think about it all the way: I think about the scene of Yingge's wedding sedan chair that day, I want to hide in a corner of the dark and look at the endless reverie and sadness evoked by touching the scene, and I think that my marriage is different from others. I looked at this different way of getting married, I saw tears streaming down my face, I saw it very sad, and my heart was even more bitter and cold; She thought, she thought sadly; Until tears blurred his vision.
