About fifty minutes later, Ge Lianghua invited Feng Qinghua over, arranged for Feng Qinghua to sit down, and poured her a glass of boiled water. Ge Lianghua asked her to sit by herself first, and he hurried out of the store. Not long after, he asked his elder brother Ge Liangcai to sit down.
Please come over.
At this time, Comrade Xu also prepared the lunch work meal. Ge Lianghua had already cooked two dishes before, and Comrade Xu added two more dishes and one soup.
It becomes four dishes and one soup.
They are: dry pot cabbage, mapo tofu, large plate of chicken, green pepper shredded pork, and tomato and egg soup.
The dishes and soup were already served on the table. As soon as Ge Liangcai arrived, Comrade Xu went to get beer from the display cabinet and asked everyone to take their seats quickly and prepare to eat.
Ge Liang, who had just entered the door, saw Feng Qinghua, smiled at her, and raised his hand to say hello.
Then he asked Comrade Xu, "Xiaodao, I heard Gongji say that you have something to discuss with us. Just say no to anything. You even invited us to dinner. Do you want to be so intrusive?"
He complained, but there was a smile on his face. As he spoke, he had already pulled out a chair and sat down.
Comrade Xu came back with a few bottles of beer from the display cabinet, with a smile on his face, "It's not a surprise, we have to eat at noon anyway, just by the way! Come! Let's drink some wine first, and we will do other things later.
Say it again!”
Xu Tonglin and Ge Lianghua agreed one after another.
"Yes! Let's drink first!"
"Let's have a few drinks first!"
As a result, Comrade Xu poured wine for everyone, and when it was Feng Qinghua's turn, Ge Lianghua, who had just invited everyone to drink, reached out to cover the wine glass in front of her.
Comrade Xu looked at him in confusion, and Ge Lianghua chuckled, "Qinghua can't drink now, she has! Hehe."
Xu Tongdao: "..."
Ge Liangcai: "..."
Xu Tonglin: "..."
Xi Dongyang: "..."
Several pairs of surprised eyes looked at the smiling Ge Lianghua, and then looked at Feng Qinghua, whose cheeks were slightly red, with different expressions.
At this moment, the air was a little quiet.
Feng Qinghua lowered her head slightly and whispered shyly: "I'm sorry! I really can't drink with you today."
Comrade Xu was a little confused and completely caught off guard. This happened before he even said what he wanted to say.
Ge Liangcai was the first to react. He frowned and asked, "Cock! Please speak clearly! What's going on? She's pregnant? Do you mean Xiao Feng is pregnant?"
Xu Tonglin couldn't help but interrupt, "Isn't it right? You are not married yet, and you are pregnant now? Is it true?"
Even Xi Dongyang, who always talks little, couldn't help but ask: "How many months has it been?"
Xu Tongdao slowly retracted his right hand holding the wine bottle with a complicated expression. At this moment, he not only had a complicated expression, but also a complicated heart.
Is Ge Lianghua going to be a father?
Comrade Xu glanced back and forth twice from the faces of Ge Lianghua, Ge Liangcai, and Feng Qinghua. The fate of these three people was completely different from the original time and space.
[Get cash red envelopes] You can get cash by reading books! Follow WeChat and the public account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/point coins are waiting for you!
In the original time and space, Ge Liangcai and Feng Qinghua were a couple.
Now, Ge Lianghua and Feng Qinghua are a couple, and they are both pregnant with their children.
Tongdao Xu was complicated not only by the changes in fate of these three people, but also by...the children.
In the original time and space, he, Comrade Xu, lived to be in his thirties, at the age of four, and had been married for several years, but he never had a child of his own.
It's impossible to say that I don't regret it.
How many men get married and don’t want to have children?
But fate is so messed up sometimes, and some people play random tricks, and the children are born one after another, just like laying eggs.
But when it was his turn, Comrade Xu continued to be disappointed year after year.
Not only was he disappointed, but his mother and his whole family were also disappointed.
In the original time and space, in the years after his divorce, he thought more than once: If he and that woman had a child of their own, maybe their marriage would not reach the stage of divorce.
However, there is no if in reality.
They also went to many hospitals and had various examinations and treatments done many times, but they just couldn't get pregnant.
He didn't know whether he would be able to have a child of his own in this life.
It's been more than a year since he was reborn, and he hasn't thought about this issue yet.
But the good news announced by Ge Lianghua just now instantly evoked this regret deep in Comrade Xu's heart.
Squeezing out a smile and barely suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart, Tongdao Xu also asked: "Are you planning to get married in the near future?"
Ge Lianghua was smiling all over his face at this time, nodding his head and answering everyone's questions.
"Well, I'm pregnant! I just found out a few days ago that it's almost two months since I got married! I'm definitely going to get married! Qinghua and I have discussed it and we'll get married at the end of this year! We definitely can't wait until her belly gets bigger.
Knot, that would be ugly, right? Hehe."
Feng Qinghua also endured her shyness at this time, raised her head and smiled at everyone: "When the time comes, everyone is welcome to come and drink our wedding wine!"
Xu Tonglin blinked and suddenly said: "Great! Congratulations! I will definitely go to drink your wedding wine then!"
Xi Dongyang smiled, nodded and said, "I will go too! If you send someone for the wedding, count me in!"
The meaning of getting married, getting married.
Ge Lianghua and Feng Qinghua expressed their thanks to everyone.
Comrade Xu looked at Ge Liangcai, "Cousin! Brother Rooster is getting married in front of you. What do you think?"
According to local custom, when brothers and sisters get married, they should be arranged in order of eldest and youngest.
Under normal circumstances, if the eldest child is not married, the second child, third child... cannot get married first.
It is said to be unlucky.
Comrade Xu has heard about this rule since he was a child. Some elders care about this rule very much. He has also seen similar things end in tragedy since he was a child.
He remembered that when he was about ten years old, there were two brothers in the village. During the Chinese New Year one year, the younger brother brought back a girlfriend and proposed marriage to his parents.
As a result, the man's parents were firmly opposed to it, and the family almost had a quarrel at that time.
The younger son insisted on getting married, and the parents scolded and cried, but they didn't agree anyway.
The reason is this rule.
The mother cried and scolded her youngest son - did she want his brother to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?
…
Tongdao Xu has seen several similar examples since he was a child.
What I see most often is that a daughter wants to get married, but the parents refuse to allow it. The reason is that the daughter's brother is not married yet and it is not the daughter's turn to get married first.
This kind of thing will be rare in ten or twenty years.
But before 2000, especially around the 1990s, it was particularly common among Xu Tongdao and his colleagues. At that time, most parents were illiterate, and most of the principles of life and work were based on the rules passed down from the past.
Do not do anything that is against the rules. If someone breaks the rules, the whole village will scold them.
Fortunately, Ge Liang smiled and said, "What objection do I have? I have no objection! Their child is pregnant, can I still stop it? Besides, I don't taboo this."
As he said that, Ge Liangcai looked at his younger brothers Ge Lianghua and Feng Qinghua with a smile, "Since you have thought about it, I will bless you here first! I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon! And, rooster, my parents still have to worry about this.
Don’t you know? Tell them quickly and let them help prepare for the wedding! Don’t delay it!”
