Wu Zhengqing set off from Sijiucheng, changed trains to buses, and then walked from the county seat to Tianjiacun. By the time he arrived at Tianjiacun, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Because the fields were divided into households, the villagers were very motivated, and there were still many people working in the fields after five o'clock. An aunt happened to finish her work and was going to pick vegetables and go home to cook.
When Wu Zhengqing saw it, he hurried forward and asked, "Sister, how can I get to Tian Dalin's house?"
The aunt saw that he was wearing a military uniform and was very fond of him. After looking at him for a while, she asked with a smile: "Brother, what did you just say?"
"Sister, may I ask how to get to Tian Dalin's house?"
One couldn't understand Mandarin, and the other couldn't understand the dialect. They spoke like chickens. However, the aunt reacted quickly and immediately called over a little boy who was in first grade.
Because of Principal Xin, the primary school teachers all taught in Mandarin. So the child could understand Wu Zhengqing's words. He turned to the aunt and said, "Fifth Grandma, she is here to see Grandpa Dalin."
When the aunt heard this, she slapped her thigh: "So you are Sanya's partner! Come, aunt will take you there."
As soon as the child translated, Wu Zhengqing thanked him and followed the aunt. When the aunt came outside the house, the aunt shouted: "Osmanthus, osmanthus, your son-in-law is here, come and greet him!"
Li Guihua was picking vegetables, and was very puzzled when she heard this. Tan Yue had to go to work, and there was a wedding banquet to be held in Sijiu City in more than half a month, so how could he come back here.
Sanya was making clothes in the house. When she heard this, she immediately came out and shouted to Osmanthus: "Mom, Brother Wu should be here."
When Li Guihua heard this, she stood up. Yesterday she was telling her boss why Wu Zhengqing hadn't come yet, but she didn't expect that he would come today.
She wiped her hands on her apron twice, then took it off and walked quickly outside.
The first thing Wu Zhengqing saw was Sanya. He missed her very much after not seeing her for two months. Even writing a letter could not relieve the pain of lovesickness. Now that he saw her, his eyes were glued to her and he couldn't bear to move away: "Sanya,
How have you been these two months?"
Li Guihua didn't say anything, she just looked at him secretly. Well, he is tall and strong, and he looks very upright, which is in line with what Tian Shao said. But compared with the eldest son-in-law, he is still far behind.
Sanya nodded, saying it was fine, and then said: "Brother Wu, this is my mother."
Wu Zhengqing immediately stood up straight, saluted and said: "Hello, aunt, I am Wu Zhengqing."
Li Guihua saw two neighbors sticking their heads out, obviously wanting to watch the fun. She let Wu Zhengqing enter the house first, and then said to everyone: "Stop looking, go home and cook!"
He thanked the aunt who sent Wu Zhengqing over and followed her into the house.
After Li Guihua sat down, she did not ask Wu Zhengqing to sit down. Instead, she looked at him and asked, "Tell me how much money you make every month and what's going on at home."
In fact, these three girls had already told her, but Wu Zhengqing still had to tell it himself. Before Tian Shao left, he specifically told them not to be too talkative, and to show the momentum of their future father-in-law and mother-in-law to dampen Wu Zhengqing's energy.
.
Wu Zhengqing's heart tightened. This was different from what he had imagined. He thought he would receive a warm reception! After all, no matter his personal conditions or his family, there was nothing to fault. But he responded quickly and said: "Every month I
My salary is seventy yuan. When I get married, I will apply for a house."
After a pause, he said: "My family consists of my parents and my two brothers. My father works in the northwest, my mother helps in the children's school, and both brothers are in the military. All three of them have higher positions than me."
Tian Shao told the couple these situations, and Li Guihua asked: "Sanya has a soft temper. If someone bullies him, can you protect him?"
My aunt asked this question before, and Wu Zhengqing patted his chest and promised that no matter who bullied Sanya, he would not let it go and he would protect Sanya with his life.
Sanya was extremely moved when she heard this.
Li Guihua asked a question she cared about: "Currently, a family can only have one child under family planning. If I give birth to a daughter, will you and your family dislike it?"
Wu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head and said: "No, regardless of whether he or she is my flesh and blood, I will feel pain. As for my mother, there is no need to worry about it. She has given birth to three sons, and she wants a daughter most.
Now. Even without a daughter, my granddaughter can realize her dream."
As someone who has been there, Li Guihua knows very well that it is useless to talk extravagantly before marriage. It depends on the behavior after marriage. After all, many people have a different face before marriage and a different face after marriage. She has seen this kind of thing too many times.
Li Guihua said: "If my Sanya gives birth to a daughter in the future, if you don't like it, you can tell us directly, and her father and I will take them back..."
Sanya interrupted her and said with a blushing face: "Mom, what are you talking about? I, why does this involve giving birth to a child?"
Li Guihua knew that she was embarrassed, but it was better to explain some things clearly first: "When you get married, you will definitely have children. Now a family can only have one child, and the probability is evenly divided between male and female. With the situation in our family, the probability of you having a daughter is very high.
"
Wu Zhengqing immediately stated that he would love and nurture his daughter and would never dislike her.
Li Guihua hoped that he would keep his word, but the warning should not be less: "You don't like to tell us, it's okay, we can get together and get away. But if you are mentally disgusted, you pretend to love them, and treat their mother and daughter secretly."
, we won’t be able to spare him by then.”
Tian Shao asked the couple to put on a high profile because he felt that if his mother's family had a high profile, the man would not dare to neglect the newlywed mother. However, Li Guihua had scruples, fearing that her daughter-only constitution would be passed on to her children, so she came up with this idea.
Wu Zhengqing said hurriedly: "Aunt, what you are talking about will never happen to me. And I can also guarantee you that my parents also like their daughter."
This is naturally the best.
After asking everyone about the situation in the Wu family, Li Guihua was about to go into the kitchen to cook when Uncle Li came over.
Uncle Li also came over immediately when he heard Wu Zhengqing's visit. The main reason was that Tian Dalin had not come back from the county seat, so he had to come and watch. After looking at Wu Zhengqing, he was very satisfied. Among these nephews and sons-in-law, Wu Zhengqing's appearance and body are comparable.
second.
It is said that character can be seen at the wine table. Uncle Li asked Li Guihua to prepare the dishes for the table, and he drank with Wu Zhengqing in the evening. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengqing had a better drinking capacity than him. After a few glasses of white wine, his tongue became a little curled up, Wu Zhengqing
Zhengqing's face remained unchanged.
Uncle Li patted him on the shoulder and asked: "You are so young, how come you have such a good drinking capacity?"
Wu Zhengqing said sheepishly: "My father is a good drinker, and I am more like my father in this regard."
"How much alcohol do you drink?"
Wu Zhengqing said very honestly: "I don't know. I drank at most a pound of white wine at one time, and I wasn't drunk at the time."
He has never been drunk, and he doesn't know where his limits are.
