When Widow Wang went to the health center in a hurry, Jiang Xinyu was sweating under two shabby quilts. She had a dream that made it difficult for her to tell which Jiang Xinyu she was.
Jiang Xinyu from the Wuliqiao Brigade of Hongxing Commune in Henan Province is 17 years old and is in her second year of high school. She is a high school student.
Her father, Jiang Jianmin, was buried yesterday. A week ago, he divorced Jiang Xinyu and fell into the icy river on his way back at night. When he was rescued, he was already out of breath.
Jiang Jianmin is the eldest son of the Jiang family. He is married to Chen Xiuyun, an educated youth from the city. They have three daughters. The eldest daughter, Jiang Zhenzhen, is already married to the commune next door. The second daughter, Jiang Yuzhu, was just married last summer. Graduated from high school. The third daughter is Jiang Xinyu. She will be a sophomore in high school this year. She will take another semester after the spring and graduate from high school.
In this era, primary school has a five-year system, junior high school has a two-year system, and high school has a two-year system.
It is difficult for high school graduates without urban household registration to work in factories as workers.
Jiang Yuzhu, who graduated from high school, could only go back to the brigade to earn work points in exchange for rations.
Chen Xiuyun was an educated youth who was transferred to Hongxing Commune very early. She also married Jiang Jianmin and settled down in the village.
Mrs. Li was satisfied with her educated youth daughter-in-law at first, but she was extremely dissatisfied after she gave birth to three girls in a row. What was even more dissatisfied was that Jiang Jianmin also fell in love with Chen Xiuyun, and even listened to Chen Xiuyun's instructions to make the three girls study in high school. .
In Mrs. Li's mind, the girl will belong to someone else's family sooner or later. If she is given food, clothes, and raised, she will belong to someone else's family. There is no need to be more careful.
However, Chen Xiuyun always treated her three girls well. In the past twenty years, Mrs. Li felt that she had had enough of Chen Xiuyun's anger.
In November last year, Chen Xiuyun's father sent a letter to Chen Xiuyun, saying that her mother was in poor health.
Since coming to the countryside in Henan Province, Chen Xiuyun has gone back a handful of times due to various conditions. This time, Chen Xiuyun had just left, and the commune organized members to build roads.
Half of the strong laborers in the village have gone, and there are also three grown men in Lao Jiang's family.
At this moment, someone from Lao Jiang's family came to help Jiang Xinyu. Yao Xianmin's family conditions were quite good. Yao Xianmin still worked for Jiang Xinyu in the logistics department of the commune high school cafeteria. His father and mother were both cadres with iron rice bowl jobs.
The people who came to protect the matchmaking said privately that as long as the Jiang family nodded, the Yao family would give the Jiang family two worker quotas, one for Jiang Xinyu and one for anyone from the Jiang family.
How could Mrs. Li disagree with such a good condition?
Chen Xiuyun gave birth to three girls in the movie. Their appearance is as good as that of the other. The little girl Jiang Xinyu is the most beautiful girl in the world. When walking on the road, gay men don't dare to raise their heads to look at her beauty.
After the matchmaker finished talking, Mrs. Li didn't care about Qiao at all. She just heard about the quota of two workers, and her eyes lit up. She has three grandchildren, Zhenwu from the second family is still young, but Zhifei and Zhifei from the third family are Yuehua is not young anymore, it would be great if the work could be given to both of them!
Mrs. Li received generous gifts from the matchmaker, including two kilograms of sugar, a pack of dried noodles, two kilograms of peach cakes, a can of malted milk, and rare cans. From these gifts alone, you can see how wealthy the Yao family is. How thick.
Mrs. Li happily agreed and told Jiang Xinyu the good news.
In Mrs. Li's eyes, the biggest use of the movie about the three girls in her family is to receive more gifts when they get married.
Mrs. Li had even thought about it and asked the Yao family to ring three times and give at least five hundred yuan as a gift.
Jiang Xinyu was confused when her mother came to tell her about it. When she asked about the man's last name and the situation at home, of course she disagreed.
Not to mention that she is still in high school and has not graduated yet. She also has a budding crush in the village. How can she agree to the marriage that Mrs. Li promised?
"Nai, Yao Xianmin is a logistics worker in our school. He is over 27 or 88 years old. Human beings have flaws. Not only do they have epilepsy, but they also have three-petal mouth. How can you cope with it!"
Mrs. Li was surprised for a moment when she heard Jiang Xinyu's words, and then she put it aside, no matter what his illness was, "If he wants to be well, it's not your turn! The Yao family has good conditions, and you will be a city dweller from now on. For Zhifei and Yuehua, you will also have the support of your natal brothers in the future..."
Mrs. Li's eyesight was really short-sighted, and she was deceived by the good prospects told by the matchmaker sent by the Yao family. How could she have listened to this girl Jiang Xinyu?
Jiang Xinyu was so uncomfortable that she couldn't even eat. When Jiang Jianmin came back the next day, before she had time to talk to her father, Mrs. Li happily told Jiang Jianmin about this "great thing".
After Mrs. Li finished speaking, Jiang Xinyu pulled her father into the room.
Jiang Jianmin heard about Yao Xianmin's shortcomings and age, so how could he agree to the marriage.
No matter how good the conditions of the other party's family are, and what benefits it can bring to the Jiang family, he only knows that his daughter cannot marry this man!
Jiang Jianmin immediately entered Mrs. Li's room and took out everything the matchmaker had brought.
The second aunt Ma Meili and the third aunt Zhang Fengmei were jumping around.
Both of them were afraid that such a good marriage would run away. What should a person be afraid of if he has some shortcomings? The conditions are good and he can support the family and let them benefit from it. Ma Meili wished that the Yao family had set their sights on Pandi, her family.
"Brother, what are you doing? From now on, Xinyu will become a city dweller and live a good life. Why are you dissatisfied?"
Jiang Jianmin said with a cold face: "You two must be willing to marry your daughter."
It’s a pity for Ma Meili: “If my Pandi had such good fortune, what else could I ask for?”
Zhang Fengmei looked at Ma Meimei's virtue and curled her lips. She would never let her Baoqin marry Sanpanzui and Yangjiaofeng! But she said the same thing again, "Brother, please think of the best and end up like this." With a marriage, both you and your sister-in-law will be honored, and your father and mother will also enjoy happiness in the future. What's wrong with that?"
Jiang Jianmin glared at Zhang Fengmei, "If you have time, I'll marry Baoqin to you."
Zhang Fengmei sighed, "Why is my Baoqin not as good as your Xinyu!"
Jiang Jianmin carried the things and asked his two girls if they had enough. Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "It looks like there is less peach cake, and there are also less cans."
Everyone in the family ate some of it, but she and her sister didn't touch it anyway.
Jiang Jianmin simply took out all the eggs he had saved at home to make up for the gift. He still had some money in his pocket, so he would make up for it.
Mrs. Li didn't expect that Jiang Jianmin was serious and wanted to return the gift to cancel the engagement. She immediately screamed and threatened that if Jiang Jianmin canceled the engagement, she would hit her head against the wall to death.
"You damn unfilial son, you refuse such a good marriage because you want to piss me off to death."
Jiang Jianmin was almost furious with his mother. How could such a foolish person like him sell his daughter for money? If Xinyu really married someone named Yao, then how could he be worthy of being her father?
