Chapter III
Not long after half a month, Wang Chu and Li Xiangyang finally came together, their marriage made everyone unexpected, the two took a group photo, went to the Civil Affairs Department, and got the marriage certificate.
According to what Wang Chu said, there was no pompous wedding, no banquet, no wedding dress, and even Li Xiangyang did not take Wang Chu to meet his parents. Fortunately, before marriage, he fulfilled his promise and spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy a brick house of more than 100 square meters, the house is a two-bedroom and a living room, as soon as you enter the door is the living room, next to it is a through bedroom, the small bedroom is close to the left side of the kitchen, and the back side of the living room is the kitchen. Li Xiangyang and Wang Chu took advantage of the weekend to go to the county and bought a set of solid wood furniture, two beds, and a TV. The kitchen refrigerator was broken in the unit warehouse for several years, so he pulled it to the place where the electrical appliances were repaired, and pulled it back home after repairing, the bookshelves and writing desks in the big house were also in the warehouse, and the dust fell all over a thick layer, and the bookshelves could still be placed at home to put a few books, and the writing desk was placed with a layer of glass, at least some photos could be placed. She thinks it's already good, and it's good to have a new house after marriage and dress up the house as she wants.
The parents who were most dissatisfied with Wang Chu's marriage were the two old men who beat them to death and never thought of marrying their daughters off like this. Don't talk about twenty or thirty thousand dowries, don't say eight sedan chairs, at least have a decent wedding, and marry your daughter off in a beautiful way. Therefore, when the parents chased after them and asked Li Xiangyang to give their daughter a wedding, they were also opposed.
When her mother saw Li Xiangyang and Wang Chu's marriage certificate, she was so angry that her heart was about to jump out, and she trembled, her father was fine, no matter how big something happened to his old man, he was in this tepid tone, "Xiangyang, you see that you two have quietly obtained the certificate like this, do you two do this without taking into account the face of our old couple at all?" ”
"Li Xiangyang, I don't care how difficult it is for you? How difficult is your home? The mother jumped up from the couch and said, "I don't agree with you doing this, how do you let our neighbors think of me?" Marry your daughter and don't even have a wedding? Look at the fact that people marry their daughters with at least 20,000 or 30,000 bride prices, five or six wedding cars, what did you give to my family Wang Chu? A marriage certificate will get my daughter done? I worked so hard to raise my daughter so much, and you took it away like this. ”
"Mom....." Li Xiangyang was embarrassed to call his mother for the first time.
"Don't call me Mom." Li Xiangyang just spoke, "I'm not your mother, let me tell you, Li Xiangyang, you do this, I firmly disagree." ”
"Mom." Wang Chu's heart ached, "Xiang Yang is also your and Dad's favored son-in-law, have you calculated how much it will cost to hold a wedding?" It's your money for three years of farming, and Xiang Yang's monthly salary is only 400 yuan, how can he have so much money for a wedding? ”
"He didn't, his parents didn't?" The mother shouted again and faced Li Xiangyang, "Marriage is such a big thing, don't your parents care?" ”
"Mom." Li Xiangyang explained, "To tell you the truth, my family already owed a lot of money when I went to college, and my mother is still selling vegetables to pay off the debt, to be honest, the family really can't help me." ”
"Then you mean to cheat my daughter away like that? Xiangyang, I told you, I didn't ask you for 35,000 dowry, and if you don't have any three golds, I just want you to give my daughter a decent wedding, I don't think this request is too much. ”
"It's not too much, Auntie." Li Xiangyang continued to explain, "I can't give Wang Chu a decent wedding now, but I promise to work hard and make Wang Chu live a good life!" ”
"Cut, cut, come." The mother shook her hand and said, "You can't give the happiness in front of you, who knows what it will be like in the future, Chu Chu." She met Wang Chu with her gaze and pointed her finger at her, gritting her teeth and hating iron and steel on her face, "One day you will regret it." ”
The mother shook off her hand and left, and the father followed, Wang Chu and Li Xiangyang chased out, Li Xiangyang kept his father and mother to leave after eating, but the mother didn't turn her head back, and the father followed the mother away.
The matter of holding a wedding was over, and in the days after the wedding, Wang Chu soon played the role of a good wife and mother. Li Xiangyang went to work at ten o'clock in the morning, and she got up at nine o'clock to make breakfast, although it was just a bowl of porridge, two eggs, and a simple side dish, but this life has always persisted.
At noon, her favorite thing to make is ramen, a craft she learned from her Uyghur sister at the age of 17. The sister named Aunt Azi called her to eat the noodles every night, many times, she observed every process of making ramen, and tried to make it at home a few times, although the taste was not better than that of Aunt Azigu's sister, but Li Xiangyang also ate it with relish, and praised her for her good craftsmanship more than once. These two authentic fellow villagers spend most of the night either braised noodles, hand-rolled noodles, or slurry water. Slurry water surface is a delicacy that the whole Gansu people like to eat, it is said that there is also the effect of lowering the three highs, both of them belong to the super thin kind, not to mention the three highs, but can always eat two or three times a week, especially in summer, can not only reduce the heat, but also quench thirst.
Wang Chu's care for Li Xiangyang is all-round, he can eat breakfast on time, he will have ready-made meals on the table when he gets home from work, the room will be spotlessly cleaned, and the clothes he changes can be washed cleanly. He often praised, "I am blessed to be able to marry a wife who is gentle, virtuous, and beautiful." Sometimes he touched Wang Chu's head and said, "Wife, why are you so sensible?" So good at taking care of people? You are the best wife in the world. Even sometimes he held Wang Chu in his arms and said, "Wife, thank you for doing so much for me, I will love you for the rest of my life." When she said these words, Wang Chu's face was always filled with all kinds of happiness and joy, and she felt that it was worth it in her life to marry a man like him who was educated, knowledgeable, and had a stable job.
Wang Chu and Li Xiangyang occasionally quarrel, she has a bad memory, she always packs up some things at home so that she can't even find herself, she often forgets where the nail clippers, scissors, keys, household registration book, ID card, and real estate certificate are placed, and when she wants to use it one day, she will turn over the boxes and cabinets until she finishes turning over all the drawers at home, and she may be able to turn over the things she wants.
One night, after Li Xiangyang washed his feet, he felt that his nails had grown, so he asked, "Chu Chu, where are the nail clippers?" Help me find it. ”
Wang Chu was still cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen at the time, she came out of the kitchen and wiped the water on the apron she was wearing, "Yo, I haven't used nail clippers for a long time, I don't know where to put them." ”
"Look for it, I've got a toenail grow." Li Xiangyang urged.
Wang Chu first rummaged through some things in the small box on the coffee table, and then opened the small drawer under the TV cabinet to find it, "I really can't find it, I won't lose it." ”
"Look at you, you can't even find nail clippers, forget it, don't cut it." Li Xiangyang pulled his face and went back to the bedroom to sleep, Wang Chu rummaged through all the places in the living room, but never found it, and went to the store the next day to buy a new one back, and then half a month later, he found nail clippers in the bedside table in the bedroom.
I remember again, every household in the land management department registered the real estate certificate and land use certificate, Wang Chu also rummaged through all the places in the house, and finally found the real estate certificate and land use certificate in the briefcase on the top of the bookcase. I can't even remember what I'm packing, and I don't know what I'm doing all day. ”
"Isn't it almost half a year since I put it away, how can I remember it for so long?"
"If you can't think of it, you just put important things in one place and save time when you need to look for them."
"Alright, alright, don't be verbose, I see."
"Is this my long-winded? Don't you have a brain? What else can you do? ”
When Li Xiangyang said this, Wang Chu's brows tightened, the real estate certificate and land use certificate had been put together for more than half a year, and he didn't use it on weekdays, and Wang Chu didn't deliberately keep it in mind. She felt that she was basically impeccable, except for her bad memory, and she did her best to play the role of a housewife and meet all his requirements as much as possible.
Li Xiangyang loves to be clean, neatly dressed, and spotless, and his standards for choosing clothes and pants are also very high, basically all of them are high-quality materials. Every time he washes clothes, Wang Chu also hangs the clothes in a brand new shape according to his standards, and he can't wrinkle. The slightest wrinkle would be counted, and then taken to wash again, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but it never showed it on her face.
I don't know when Wang Chu found that Li Xiangyang had become nagging, and he would always nag about some trivial things.
One night, Wang Chu lay on the bed and fell asleep after washing her face, and when Li Xiangyang came, she was already asleep in a daze, "Chu Chu, I am very tired from work all day, you should care more about me." ”
Wang Chu opened his eyes and found Li Xiangyang standing in the middle of the living room, "How can I care about you?" Three meals a day are cooked for you, clothes are washed, and the house is never cleaned up for you, how can I care about you? ”
"The so-called concern between husband and wife is not as simple as cooking, doing laundry, and tidying up the house. We just got married, don't you live a middle-aged life, I want spiritual care, understand? ”
"Don't you think that's good? How harmonious we are, I don't want to quarrel with you, let's go to sleep? ”
"Harmony? In addition to watching TV and watching dramas, do you take a nap in the morning, take a nap in the afternoon, and sleep at night? ”
"Then tell me, what else can I do without sleeping except cleaning up the housework and cooking, except watching TV? I've done everything I need to do, what else do you have to pick? Wang Chu got up and looked at Li Xiangyang.
"You should read more books to recharge your brain, and." Li Xiangyang pushed Wang Chu down on the pillow and turned off the bedside light, "You should also do more of your duty as a wife instead of sleeping." ”
Regarding the matter of responsibility, Wang Chu really didn't think about it, in the life of husband and wife, she would never take the initiative to ask for it, but when he needed it, she would cooperate. She has always felt that as long as husband and wife love each other, respect each other like guests, and can live a married life once in a while, it is harmonious.
But Li Xiangyang doesn't think so, he believes that true harmony is to pay attention to emotional exchanges in ordinary life, spark love from time to time, and cultivate a warm and romantic atmosphere. These are not enough, he needs to go out to work before Wang Chu can give him a hug, a kiss is perfect, and when he comes home from work, he can say, "Husband, you have worked hard." Then brought Li Xiangyang slippers and changed into pajamas, which can be regarded as an expression of his love.
Wang Chuzhen didn't know how to express her love, so she didn't object to Li Xiangyang's requests. He is delicate, knows how to make life romantic and warm, and will also make his marriage full of mystery, he often says, "Love is beautiful, marriage is also sacred, a happy marriage needs both parties to carefully manage and care for themselves, but also need to create more romance and miracles, so that husband and wife can be happy for a long time." ”
While creating romance and miracles, for a long time, Wang Chu found that Li Xiangyang became nagging and training people, which was originally a very small matter, he always had to nag a few words, and he also spoke very heartfelt.
Wang Chu admits that he has a bad memory, and it is common for him to go out and lock the key at home, and to pay for the vegetables but forget to take the vegetables home. Because of this, she suffered a lot, and even, when she went to his office to get the key, there was an unpleasant quarrel.
"Don't you go out without your brains? Can you forget your keys at home? Why don't you lock yourself in the room? Li Xiangyang reprimanded Wang Chu, but when he saw a colleague passing by, he asked, "Li Xiangyang, is this your daughter-in-law?" ”
"That's right, this is my daughter-in-law." Li Xiangyang nodded in reply, made an enthusiastic movement, and put his hands on Wang Chu's shoulders.
"Look at you, you've been married for so long, and you never took your daughter-in-law out to play with the golden house?"
"No, no, it's my daughter-in-law who doesn't like to go out, I'll take her out more in the future."
"That's it."
Seeing his colleague walking away, Li Xiangyang took the key from his waist and handed it to Wang Chu, "Go back quickly, don't be embarrassed here." ”
"Why am I ashamed to show me? I just forgot my keys at home and came to you to get them. ”
"Have you forgotten less? I can't remember where things are stuffed at home, and how many times have I locked the key at home? How many times have you paid for groceries and didn't take them home? ”
"Then I didn't mean to, is it interesting for you to keep counting me like this?"
"Don't make any noise here, hurry home."
"Are you counting people here or am I arguing here? Li Xiangyang, can you talk about reason? Before Wang Chu finished speaking, Li Xiangyang turned his head and went back to the office.
An inexplicable grievance welled up in Wang Chu's heart, and when she returned home, she threw herself into the quilt and cried. When it was time to cook, he got up and made a delicious meal for Li Xiangyang.
When Li Xiangyang came back, he entered the door with a smiling face, and he saw Wang Chu's red eyes crying, "It seems that my attitude today really made my daughter-in-law cry." ”
"Or else?" Wang Chu glanced at Li Xiangyang and said aggrievedly.
"I'm sorry, I have a bad attitude, but I have a reason, there are a lot of things in the office, and I'm in a bad mood." Li Xiangyang explained.
"Are you yelling at me when you're in a bad mood? I'm in a bad mood, who am I going to shout at? I have no friends or relatives here, so it's good for you to yell at me when you're upset, and besides, if I poke your heart and give you a candy to eat, do you think that candy is still sweet? ”
"Oops!" Li Xiangyang showed an apologetic look, "I was wrong, I was really wrong wife, don't be angry, you see that you even cooked for me, which proves that you are not angry." As he spoke, he pulled Wang Chu to the dining table.
"I'm worried I'm hungry." Wang Chu raised his mouth unhappily and sat on the chair, "I don't know where you got those big truths, who doesn't have any shortcomings, just say that other people's are not." ”
"Okay, okay, I apologize to you." Li Xiangyang took the chopsticks and put vegetables into Wang Chu's bowl, "How can there be no stumbling between husband and wife, when the upper lip bites the lower lip." ”
"That's the reason, but you can't be okay," Wang Chu retorted.
"Hey, it's endless, isn't it?" Li Xiangyang pulled Wang Chu up and entered the bedroom, "I can't cure you yet." ”
Regarding Wang Chu's anger, Li Xiangyang used this way of living a married life to deal with it not once or twice, Li Xiangyang also thought that this was the best way to solve the conflict between husband and wife.
During that time, the TV series "Don't Talk to Strangers", a film and television work based on domestic violence, became popular all over China, and Wang Chu was no exception, and he kept chasing that TV series. When the plot was played to Mei Xiangnan and An Jiahe's quarrel, Li Xiangyang said, "Today's women, quarreling with them is tantamount to asking for their own boring, begging for hardship, pulling them to the bed, and solving the matter at one time, what kind of quarrel?" ”
"It's like you haven't quarreled with me." Wang Chu pouted and said.
"I'll try to control it in the future." Li Xiangyang took Wang Chu into his arms, touched Wang Chu's hair and said, "Besides, I love you so much, how can I be willing to quarrel with you?" ”
"Cut." Wang Chu shook his head in disbelief, ignored Li Xiangyang anymore, and continued to devote himself to the TV plot.
Wang Chu's degree of chasing the drama "Don't Talk to Strangers" has reached the point where it is out of control, and every night before the end of the news broadcast at half past seven, he will finish all the housework and concentrate on watching the two episodes of the TV series broadcast every night, including Li Xiangyang is also caught in it.
