Captain Tian's pipe and pot were banging on the eaves of the kang in the room, reminding his wife not to be too showy.
Aunt Zhu just pretended not to know and said happily: "Having siblings, the marriage is half done."
The captain's wife was really happy to be praised by Aunt Zhu: "I don't have that much face, but don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely run errands for you. I don't know which girl is so lucky?"
Aunt Zhu was a little embarrassed: "The wild girl next door lives across the wall. I have watched her grow up. I know everything about her. Do you think this marriage is a success?"
The captain's wife's face was stunned for a moment. Even the Zhu family could take a liking to such a wild girl: "Sister-in-law, you have thought about it. We country people live a good life. Everything else is fine. Even the reputation of the girl, sister-in-law.
I don’t mind.”
After saying this, the captain's wife realized that she was being rash: "Sister-in-law, looking at my words, I just think that the younger brother in your family has gone to junior high school, and the wild girl has never gone to school. Can your boss be willing?"
There was a moment of discomfort on Aunt Zhu's face: "Ahem, let's see what my siblings said. What age are you? It's not easy for a wild girl to be a child. We don't believe in the idea of suppressing the father and taming the mother. We just feel sorry for the child and it's not easy for the child to live alone."
The captain's wife is not stupid. If she were not greedy, how could a family like Lao Zhu's choose a wild girl as their daughter-in-law? Even her own girl knows that the wild girl has three good houses. Isn't this Zhu family interested in other people's houses?
Aunt Zhu saw that the captain's wife had a strange look on her face, she sighed and said something deep in her heart: "Brother and sister, you are not an outsider, and I am not afraid of your jokes. The eldest of my family has a high heart and spends all day running to educated youth spots.
There are girls in the city that we can't care about. His father and I couldn't help it. We thought of getting him a wife, so we might have taken our hearts back."
These words were spoken from the bottom of my heart. The captain's wife also knew that not only the eldest son of Lao Zhu's family, but also Tian Hua from his family had never taken their eyes away from the educated youth spot.
She is as worried as a mother, fearing that Tian Hua will be dazzled by the young people in the city.
It's quite understandable: "Sister-in-law, there is no need for a girl from the Tian family." Besides, the Zhu family wanted to find a daughter-in-law to take care of their children, which is a good idea, but the daughter-in-law they chose may not be able to do it.
Aunt Zhu: "As far as the boss is so virtuous, no one in the village can see his thoughts. There is nothing I can do about it."
The captain's wife didn't say anything. That's true, no one wants to marry their daughter to someone who pretends to be someone else.
The head of the room was silent for a long time, and she didn't know if she could handle this. The snack and wine were a bit hot.
In the room, Captain Tian's face was so gloomy that he could drop water. He said, "Why did the Zhu family talk to the wild girl two days ago? It was a good idea. She was waiting here."
Captain Tian thought very far. When Tian Tian's father was alive, apart from being close to him, he never heard of any contact with the Zhu family even though they lived next door.
The Zhu family shouldn't have the same doubts as him about marrying a wild girl.
Captain Tian was not at ease. It could be said that the wild girl had been under his nose for so many years. If there was something fishy, there was no reason why he couldn't see it. On the contrary, the Zhu family saw it and wanted to strike first.
Captain Tian was thinking about this matter back and forth in his mind, anxiously.
Seeing that the captain's wife didn't answer, Aunt Zhu raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I talked to the wild girl next door."
The captain's wife raised her eyebrows and looked unhappy: "In that case, what are you doing today?"
Aunt Zhu: "Although the wild girl has no elders, since she will come to our house in the future, we cannot look down on her. We cannot wrong her girl during the process of leaving."
The captain's wife then softened her tone. She was trying to show face to the wild girl: "My sister-in-law is kind, and that girl is also very lucky."
Aunt Zhu: "The wild girl herself means the same thing. She said that thanks to the care of her uncle and her aunt over the years, her brother and sister have the final say in her marriage."
The captain's wife used to look down on the field, but after listening to Aunt Zhu's words, she felt that all the cornmeal she had produced over the years had not been in vain, so this girl was really thoughtful.
Then he became more solemn about this marriage: "Hey, sister-in-law, don't be ashamed of us two. What a big deal, this girl also has the intention. I didn't expect that this girl actually said this.
Why do I feel like I'm marrying my daughter?"
Aunt Zhu smiled and said: "Brothers and sisters, don't just get excited. I will plan this matter with my brothers and sisters from now on."
The captain came out of the back room with a cigarette bag: "Sister-in-law, since the wild girl regards me as an elder, we and I will give him more advice on this matter. Don't be anxious. After all, it is a big matter for the girl. Let us think about it and ask.
That girl means."
Aunt Zhu: "Yes, yes, you can't just listen to me. Good things don't take its toll. You two, the Tian family brothers and sisters, have to worry a lot about this."
Aunt Zhu talked with the captain's wife for a long time before she came out of Tian's house.
I also know that getting married is not something that can be accomplished in just one or two sentences, so I am not in a hurry.
Aunt Zhu still had some idea in her mind. This was obviously the Zhu family's promotion of a wild girl, and the captain and his wife had no reason to disapprove.
The Zhu family came over with fruit wine, which was a ready-made favor for the captain and his wife.
The key is still with the wild girl. It's a shame that the boss is such a monster and doesn't worry about it. If she just goes to the next door a few more times to treat the wild girl, there's no need for her to worry about it.
When Aunt Zhu came home, Uncle Zhu had already gone to work, and the couple failed to meet. Thinking of the attitudes of the captain and his wife, Aunt Zhu felt a little uneasy when she thought about it.
Aunt Zhu thought that a wild girl could marry into the Zhu family, and even though the whole village was talking about it, they couldn't find anything wrong with it.
If the captain and his wife were a little more careful about their marriage, they would probably live up to their word. Only then could they finally reassure themselves that there was nothing wrong with the matter, and then they could calm down and get to work.
While unpacking and washing cotton clothes, Aunt Zhu looked at the wall of the courtyard next door. If she took the opportunity to call the wild girl over, she could teach the child how to make needlework.
However, the wild girl can go out to work very well, so this point of needlework is not so important.
Before the marriage could be consummated, Aunt Zhu began to worry about gains and losses.
Captain Tian said in the afternoon that starting from tomorrow there will be no need to carry water to irrigate the fields. There is a drought and the Hetao has dried up.
The team held a meeting in the evening, where everyone worked together to study how to fight the drought and concentrated on preserving the remaining seedlings in the fields.
Tian Ye's image in the village is that she has no vision, does not know how to plan, and only knows how to work hard, study, hold meetings, etc., and she has nothing to do with one person in the family.
She had greeted the brigade leader early in the morning and asked her to do whatever the brigade decided.
The captain looked at Tianye with tangled eyes: "Girl, you don't have to go out for meetings late at night, just wait for the news."
Tian Tian carried his pole and went home. He felt so beautiful that he could rest for the whole night.
