Soon, Secretary An sent his nephew to find Zhaoqing a home again.
But this time it was not an attack on the enemy, but a complete showdown. Xiaoqin was also present.
In front of the two of them, Secretary An expressed only one intention, that he was willing to marry his daughter to Zhaoqing. But Zhaoqing could not take advantage of everything. He could either marry Xiaoqin or go to college, let him choose on his own.
In fact, to be honest, in Secretary An's opinion, although this matter is embarrassing, it is really the best test opportunity.
If Zhaoqing really agrees to stay, Xiaoqin can rest assured. If he doesn't agree, Xiaoqin will be heartbroken after seeing it with her own eyes, so maybe she will give up. As for the failure of falling in love, it doesn't matter. As long as there is nothing wrong between the two, what will happen in the future?
No delay.
Compared with Secretary An, who was well prepared, Zhaoqing and Xiaoqin, who were unprepared, experienced ups and downs today, as if they were in a dream.
When they first heard that the secretary had approved their marriage, they were of course overjoyed.
Just after hearing that Zhaoqing had passed the college entrance examination and Secretary An slapped the college entrance examination admission notice on the table, the two of them were stunned on the spot, but their specific attitudes were a bit different.
Zhaoqing was very excited after reading the notice. He never thought that he would actually pass the exam. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that now he could be proud in front of the villagers and be worthy of his father.
But when Xiaoqin read the admission notice, the smile on her face seemed a bit forced. Obviously, she began to realize that she was about to separate from Zhaoqing.
And at the end, when they heard Secretary An completely lay out the multiple-choice question and asked Zhaoqing if he wanted love or a future, both of them couldn't help but show expressions of bewilderment and disbelief.
None of them thought that the great good thing that others were eager to get their turn would actually become the reason for Secretary An to object to their being together.
Xiaoqin shouted at that time, "Dad, what are you talking about? What confusion are you making!"
But Secretary An said, "Silly girl, I'm not confused at all, but you are confused. Why do you still care about being a city girl?"
Then he explained it in detail and expressed all his thoughts.
Not to mention Xiaoqin's silence now, Zhaoqing also thought deeply. None of them could say that Secretary An's considerations were unreasonable.
Not long after, Zhaoqing spoke.
But he did not make a choice, but discussed it. What he meant was that he could marry Xiaoqin first, and then he would go to school, and he promised to return to the village after graduation.
Unexpectedly, this best-of-both-worlds approach still hit a snag, and Secretary An kept shaking his head.
"I've heard too many promises. It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe anyone. And you still don't understand. I'm not only afraid that you will change your mind, but I'm also afraid that Xiaoqin will leave our old couple. As long as you go to college, it's possible
If you don't come back, then it won't be up to me. Xiaoqin will have to go with you even if you get married. How can I agree? What I want is for you to stay and be a farmer down-to-earth, without recruiting workers or going to school, just in the village.
Live your whole life with Xiaoqin."
Xiaoqin couldn't help but protest again.
"Dad, you are too selfish. This is unfair to Zhaoqing! You can't ruin his future because of me! Besides, even if you force him to stay, he won't be happy..."
Secretary An's attitude was categorical.
"Then let's break up! There's nothing more to say! Don't blame dad for not agreeing!"
At this point, Zhaoqing couldn't hold back his anger. Did he know that the leader of Longkou Village was kind-hearted and kind-hearted, but he was also bold and bloody. He said one thing is one thing and two things is two, and what he said was still unreasonable.
Never swallowed it back.
So he cut it off and immediately shouted out.
"I choose Xiaoqin! Not going to college!"
With these eight words, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Xiaoqin's tears fell to the ground. She was touched, pleased, satisfied, and all at the same time!
Although Secretary An didn't say anything, his eyes flickered and he became very affectionate.
But Xiaoqin soon couldn't help but objected.
"No, Zhaoqing! You have to go to college! Your parents are looking forward to you returning to the capital. We are no longer friends. I want to break up with you!"
Now it was Zhaoqing's turn to be excited, and his eyes widened in confusion.
"Xiao Qin, what are you talking about? Stop making trouble!"
Xiaoqin is stubborn and has her own reasons.
"I'm not making trouble. I know how difficult it is to get into college. If you really gave up going to school for me, I would be uneasy all my life. To put it bluntly, if we really live together, what will happen to us in the next few decades? You
If you fail the exam, you will have no regrets, but now that you have passed the exam, you will definitely..."
"Xiaoqin, don't think too much! I don't regret it, I really don't regret it! If you don't believe it, I will burn the admission notice right now!"
Zhaoqing never expected Xiaoqin to say such words. Seeing her tears falling down, he couldn't argue. He was really anxious. So he impulsively picked up the matches on the table.
, you have to burn the admission notice.
Xiaoqin didn't expect this, but she screamed in surprise.
Fortunately, Secretary An was quick and snatched the admission notice from Zhaoqing's hand and stuffed it into his arms.
Zhaoqing was dumbfounded. "Uncle? What are you doing?"
Secretary An coughed twice before speaking.
"Zhaoqing, I like you very much now. Not to mention that you can study like this, you are really good. Based on your behavior now, I believe that you are sincere to Xiaoqin. But this matter can't be done yet
Let's do it this way. In the final analysis, this matter between you two is about two families getting married. If you want to burn the admission notice in front of me, then the two families will become enemies. What can your father do? So, this matter cannot be done
Urgent, I'm here just to make things clear. I won't force you to express your opinion right away. You can think about it carefully when you go back, so as not to regret it in the future. Think about it clearly before telling your parents. You are not eloping, your parents ordered the matchmaker.
, in the end, they all have to agree for this to happen, do you understand?"
Secretary An's words were indeed reasonable. Zhaoqing calmed down and realized that he had not thought carefully.
He said with embarrassment, "Uncle, I made a mistake. Then you and Xiaoqin wait until I believe it. I will go back and discuss it with my parents..."
"Well, you have to think about it carefully. It's a lifelong matter, don't force it. You can still regret it."
"No, don't worry, I won't change. I only ask you one thing..."
"explain."
"I'll leave the admission notice with you first. If I don't come, don't give it to my father!"
"I can agree to this. According to the regulations, it can only be left to me."
After hearing this, Zhaoqing said nothing more, took a deep look at Xiaoqin and left.
And the smile that appeared on his lips at the end undoubtedly gave her reassurance, and her attitude was already very clear.
But Xiaoqin felt really aggrieved for Zhaoqing. As soon as they left, she burst into tears uncontrollably and kept blaming her father. She also demanded that Secretary An give the admission notice to Zhaoqing, and insisted that she would tell Zhaoqing
Celebrate the end.
Secretary An was not used to her faults and scolded her flatly.
"Bullshit! Don't think that your father is blind and can't see what tricks you are playing! You are very kind to that silly boy! Do you want to use this method to let him go to college first, and then continue to be with him? I tell you
You, there is no sweetness at both ends of the sugarcane. You have a stubborn temper, and your father and I are even more stubborn. As long as Zhaoqing says to go to school, you two must break up. If you dare to lie to me, I will go to his school in the capital to accuse him of being a gangster.
As a dignified brigade secretary, I don’t believe that I can’t erase his student status…”
Xiaoqin felt ashamed and ashamed after her thoughts were revealed, and she was even more afraid that her father would keep his word.
"Dad! Why are you doing this! You are so unreasonable!"
"Daughter! It's not that my father is unkind and cruel! I really do it for your own good and also for Zhaoqing's good. Have you forgotten about your brother? He wanted to get out back then, but I tried my best to stop him.
After he got out, he worked hard and got promoted in the army. But as a result, people... Well, it's not always a good thing to go out, and it's not necessarily all flowers and green grass outside. You are still young..."
This sentence touched Secretary An's sadness, and his voice was choked with sobs at the end.
Xiaoqin seemed to finally feel her father's painstaking efforts. She stopped crying, and then sat next to Secretary An, silently hugging one of his arms.
The father and daughter finally relied on each other again...
Yes, estrangement is estrangement, and blood relationship is blood relationship. After all, family love is better.
Often with family affection, no matter how big the ambiguity between relatives is, they can finally gain understanding and tolerance, and all the conflicts and discords can be reduced to the invisible.
But although this statement is correct, there is another saying called "deep love, deep responsibility". Sometimes, because of this, things will go to an extreme.
Therefore, Zhaoqing's experience at home was not as peaceful as at Secretary An's house.
That night, after some careful consideration, he told his parents about the incident. As soon as he expressed his intention to give up his studies and get married to Xiaoqin, he immediately caused a huge stir.
In fact, Zhaoqing's mother, Annie, is easy to say.
She was a dutiful rural housewife. She was taught to obey her father at home and her husband when she got married. She had no knowledge or accurate ideas. She only knew that she felt sorry for her husband and son. She couldn't tell what was wrong with her son's words.
Well, I think my son should go to school, and I also think that girl Xiaoqin is quite nice.
But Zhaoqing's father was a man with a lofty ideal, and he had wasted his whole life. How could he allow his son to give up so easily in the face of such a great opportunity? He immediately became furious and angrily scolded Zhaoqing for being useless.
He said that there is no need for a real man to have a wife. His life can only be considered in vain if he makes great contributions and does great things for the country and the people. The capital is also the ancestral home of the Wanyan family. Now his son can finally return to the capital.
He would never allow his son to betray his ancestors and do foolish things that would ruin his future for the sake of his children's affair.
So Zhaoqing was ordered to get the admission notice early tomorrow morning and go to school honestly. As for Xiaoqin, if she is really a good girl, she should know how to help others.
Zhaoqing must not do it.
He said that he took the exam just for his father, and that he had no intention of doing anything big. It was his father's wish.
And he doesn’t like the capital either. His father regards the capital as his hometown because he was born and grew up in the capital. In turn, for him, Longkou Village, where he grew up from childhood to youth, is his hometown. Really
If we talk about the truth, the Wanyan family should return to the black mountains and white waters.
He finally said that in fact, even after studying, he would eventually return to Longkou Village. His biggest wish was to be able to stay with his parents and live with Xiaoqin.
Well, just these words really angered Zhaoqing's father. He immediately punished his son severely for his strong words and obsession. He made Zhaoqing kneel in front of the ancestral tablet in the west room and gave him a hard whip.
Punk strips.
But Zhao Qingling didn't ask for mercy, and Zhao Qing's father couldn't hold him anymore when he was angry, and beat Zhao Qing to pieces. If An Dannier hadn't blocked Zhao Qing's life and used her body to protect him, Zhao Qing might have been beaten.
Knocked out.
But this was quite serious. Zhaoqing was covered in bloodstains and could only lie down on the kang to dry his wounds while sleeping. In less than ten days and a half, he might not be able to get off the ground.
The next day, Zhaoqing's father went to Secretary An to ask for the admission notice. Unexpectedly, he failed to get it precisely because of Zhaoqing's foresight.
So when he came back, he got even angrier and announced that Zhaoqing would be grounded. He said that if his son didn't understand, he would be locked up for the rest of his life. If he really didn't go to school, Xiaoqin wouldn't be able to marry him. Let's see who outshines the other, in the end
Who suffers.
Okay, this matter is completely deadlocked here.
Now, it was Xiaoqin who was standing at the door of Zhaoqing's house, looking out the window and crying.
Ever since I found out that Zhaoqing had been beaten for her, I had been restless all day long, not thinking about food or food, and becoming more and more lethargic day by day.
Not to mention that Secretary An looked distressed, even the most talkative people in the village couldn't bear it after learning about the situation.
Anyone who talks about this behind his back can't help but sigh sympathetically, thinking it's a bit boring.
