Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 79
Ji Zhenfeng was in the patrol brigade, and people from all walks of life knew him. He wanted to “please” his future mother-in-law and brother-in-law. He specially asked someone to borrow a small truck to send the Zhao family back to the village.
“SH130?”
Zhao Donglin is a car acquaintance, and he knows the car as soon as he sees it.
Unlike other domestic trucks, SH130 uses an alternative timing chain, which belongs to the light-duty vehicle series and has a load capacity of two kilograms, which is a very practical type of truck.
Men love machinery in their bones. Zhao Donglin turned around in front of the car and patted the front cover of the car, showing a very interested appearance.
“Brother, why don’t you go back and try it?”
Ji Zhenfeng knows that Zhao Donglin has been in the army. There are many vehicles in the army. Many soldiers can drive and some even drive tanks. He looked at the expression of his uncle in the future and knew that his uncle was interested in this truck, so he voted for it. So, he gave the car key to Zhao Donglin.
Zhao Donglin smiled and rejected it, patted Ji Zhenfeng on the shoulder and said, “It’s better for you to come, I will sit back and look at the child.”
Ji Zhenfeng smiled and entered the cab. Meixiang took the co-pilot and let it go. Zhang Qiao’er was supposed to be the co-pilot, but she suffered from motion sickness. She would rather be outside in the sun than get into the car and suffer from the smell of gasoline.
“This baby looks good, Meixiang has a good eye.”
On the way, Zhang Qiaoer chatted with his son and daughter-in-law.
Although Ji Zhenfeng appeared suddenly, he won Zhang Qiao’er’s good first impression of him with his outstanding appearance and unobtrusive conversation.
Jiahui nodded, “It looks good, but the most important thing is to be nice to Meixiang.”
Including coming to the station on a hot day to pick them up, you should borrow a car to take them back to the village, if you don’t really like Meixiang, why bother so much.
Zhang Qiao’er smiled and nodded, “This is the reason.”
She also saw a little truth from the marriage of her two sons. She still had to find the right one for them. What kind of pot should be matched with what kind of lid. The bigger and the smaller ones don’t match. The life is stumbling and it’s not for anyone. A good thing.
The truck entered the Victory Commune and attracted the attention of many people along the way. When everyone saw the Zhao family sitting behind the car, they looked envied.
Since Zhao’s family took the four college entrance examinations and became the only one in the village, he followed the family and moved to the provincial capital. The family left Zhao Manzhu to look after the house. Zhao’s family has been living well and has seen the big world. In the eyes of the villagers, that is It’s different from everyone.
People will feel a sense of awe at the heights they can’t reach, and the Zhao family is now at this height that everyone looks up to.
Zhao Donglin got off the car and scattered the cigarettes to his uncles and uncles, and everyone took it with a smile.
“Yeah, Peony.”
The boss’s surname smokes fighting cigarettes, and they can sell one cigarette for 1 cent.
There is also a saying about smoking. It is called Provincial Zhonghua and Municipal Peony. The general cadres are not smoked for the common people, so Peony is the best cigarette they have ever seen.
Zhao Donglin has quit smoking now. He used to be a cadre and smoked in line with his status. Now he is a student. Jiahui told him that no student smokes more seriously than the teacher smokes.
I bought a few packs of peonies for social entertainment, and I also brought a whole piece to share one point with the elder brothers in the mother-in-law’s family, so that everyone can have fun together.
The car had stopped at four o’clock outside the gate of her home. Donghe got out of the car and hugged the children out of the car, and then began to unload things. Jiahui helped Zhang Qiao’er to get out of the car.
“Young man, stay and have a meal.”
Zhao Manzhu also came back and saw the smiles of several grandchildren. He was the driver of Ji Zhenfeng and thanked Ji Zhenfeng for a few words and let him come in and drink.
“This is a blind date with Meixiang, I met in the county.”
“what?”
He then turned his head and looked at Ji Zhenfeng carefully.
Although he was mostly taciturn at home, he was a father who loved his children very much, especially the youngest Mika. After her birth, the situation at home became better and better. He grew up in the palm of his hand and stayed with him for more than 20 years. , Admitted to university and became a middle school teacher, such a girl, in the eyes of her father, it is not an exaggeration to match with any man, Ji Zhenfeng is naturally picky.
No matter how good Ji Zhenfeng’s mental quality was, he could not help clearing his throat in the eyes of the old father’s scrutiny.
“Hello, uncle, I’m from the county patrol brigade, and my name is Ji Zhenfeng.”
Looking Zhou Zheng, with his back straight, and his face is the kind of open-minded, Zhao Manzhu nodded.
“Well, hello, come in and sit for a while when you are not busy.”
At this time, I don’t mention tea, but I’m not just polite.
The children went to play with other children in the village. Jiahuier repeatedly stressed that they should not play in the water or do dangerous things. They ran away as soon as they heard.
Since Ji Zhenfeng has been left for dinner, Jiahui and Meixiang are naturally going to prepare dinner. They picked fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden, such as cucumbers, eggplants, leeks, lettuce, peppers, cowpeas, a basket full of two vegetables, and an **** flower at home. The chicken was boiled, slaughtered, depilated, and a piece of bacon left over during the Chinese New Year was chopped off and started cooking.
“Do you want to be clear?”
In just a few words, Mei Xiang already understood Jiahui’s meaning, and she murmured in favor.
“The season officer is very good, and he fits you well.”
Meixiang’s temper is too quiet, so she should be driven by an upright and active man.
“I haven’t asked, what happened to that classmate before?”
Meixiang squatted on the floor to choose dishes. After Jiahui asked this question, she thought about her words and said, “Actually, I don’t know what’s going on. I met him during my internship and he took good care of me. At the time I also wondered if he liked me a little bit.”
“He was there when Teacher Ji said that he wanted to introduce me to someone. Teacher Ji asked him to persuade me that he shouldn’t hurry up looking for someone because he was young. I thought he would speak for me and rejected this. Who knows that not only did he not help me speak, but he also advised me to go on a blind date. I was so confused at the time. I wondered what he meant. Did he never like me from start to finish? I always made it myself. passionate?”
Jiahui nodded, and she also felt that there was a problem with the surname Cui.
“What happened after that? What was the reaction of Cui?”
Meixiang sighed, “I will have a blind date with Ji Zhenfeng from now on. He will always go to school to find me. Cui Zongyi has met several times, and everyone gets along like ordinary colleagues.”
I used to talk a lot, but now I don’t have much communication except work, and I feel embarrassed by the naked eye.
Jiahui feels fortunate for Mixiang, but fortunately she is not with a man named Cui, that kind of man is not suitable for Jiahui at all.
Jiahui is introverted and very kind. A man of “fraternity” like Cui Zongyi will hurt Meixiang severely.
He is the kind of man who is good to everyone and irresponsible to everyone. He likes to play ambiguous but will not really take responsibility. It is also an excellent thing for Mei Xiang to cut off the relationship quickly and make the right choice.
Jiahui expressed this, Meixiang smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, I am not as good as you said. I didn’t think so much at the time, so I felt too wronged. Since he asked me to go, I will go and see. .”
Who knows that I really met the right one.
“This is called fate for you. If it weren’t for this, you wouldn’t be able to meet it yet.”
Chaotic stew, leeks scrambled eggs, lettuce fried bacon, mushroom chicken, and a pot of tomato egg soup, the staple food is noodles and tortillas.
“Well, it’s delicious.”
“These two are made by Meixiang. She followed her sister-in-law and learned the cooking skills.”
Ji Zhenfeng nodded, “Cooking and eating are very good, I love to eat home food.”
After speaking, she smiled at Mika.
After dinner, Ji Zhenfeng drove away. Zhang Qiaoer was grateful to him for a ride. He picked a lot of vegetables and eggs from the house. He put a clay pot in it, and he only gave it to him in the past twenty years.
“Thank you, Auntie, then I will accept it unceremoniously.”
“It’s all home stuff, what are you polite.”
“I’m leaving.”
He put things in the car, turned around and waved, finally glanced at Meixiang, and started the car and left.
“Hey, Mika has also found a partner.”
When he was in the living room, Ji Zhenfeng had already taken the initiative to confess the family affairs. Zhang Qiaoer became more and more satisfied with him, and already regarded him as the future son-in-law in his heart.
“This is Meixiang’s fate. This is good. Meixiang teaches in the county, and it is just right for Meixiang to marry in the county.”
Zhang Qiao’er nodded, “That’s the truth, but we still have to investigate and find someone to inquire.”
“I went to find someone, and there happened to be a comrade in arms at the police station.”
Jiahui smiled at him.
The room didn’t sleep for a long time, so I took the afternoon-washed mat into the house and spread it out, and lit the wormwood to stun the mosquitoes. After taking a bath, Jiahui entered the room in pajamas. Zhao Donglin was already lying on the bed in big pants. He directly used the basin of well water to take a shower.
“I will bring my child back to my parents’ house tomorrow. It has been a long time since I saw my parents.”
She wiped her head while talking to Zhao Donglin.
“Well, I will go with you.”
He is now a student. In addition to the school’s practical tasks, he has a lot of time to accompany Jiahui to do what she wants to do, to make up for the neglect of Jiahui before.
Jiahui wiped her hair in the mirror. She was twenty-six years old this year, and she looked a little more mature than when she first came, but she was more confident and more energetic, like a pearl, emitting a faint light.
Zhao Donglin lay on the bed and looked at her with infinite satisfaction and infinite peace, just like the cool summer breeze and the warm sun in autumn. From mind to body, it is the most comfortable and most satisfying.
When Jiahui combed her hair and sat down on the bed, she fell into a sturdy arm. The two of them faced each other, their familiar eyebrows throbbed differently.
Some people say that after a year of marriage, husbands will gradually lose interest in their wives, and even the most beautiful women will lose their attractiveness. This law obviously does not apply to Zhao Donglin. Jiahui will always be fatally attractive to him.
He painted Jiahui’s lips carefully and hugged her tightly. He was a fire, and Jiahui was the good medicine for relieving heat.
The next day, the morning light was faint, the rooster had already crowed, and the smoke was rising from the kitchen. Jiahui opened her eyes, and the familiar beam above her head, she finally remembered that she had returned to her hometown.
“The little chicken runs, giggles, see who runs fast.”
“Let it go, the chickens are scared to death by you, you see they have lost a lot of feathers.”
“Pick up these hairs and let my mother do us shuttlecock kicks.”
“This chicken feather is too soft. You need the feather on the tail.”
“Then I will pick the tail.”
“Hey, don’t go, chickens will bite people, don’t be pecked by them.”
“Huh, I won’t.”
Outside the window is a dialogue with Yingbao. Jiahui looks out through the screen window. The two siblings are in the yard Huo Huo hens laying eggs, and the black egg sits by the well and recites English words.
I got up late again today, Jiahui put on her clothes, and went out of the room after simple tidying.
“Mom, you got up so late, the sun is almost basking.”
“It’s not that your mother wakes up late, it’s that you wake up early. You have to keep this good habit when you go to school. Do you know if you wake up early every day?”
Jiahui touched Fangfang’s hair, touched Yingbao’s little cheek, and turned back into the kitchen.
“Sister-in-law, breakfast is ready.”
A pot of rice porridge, fresh corn on the cob, and noodle sauce boiled with edamame and river prawns, it can be fragrant and ready for dinner.
“Mei Xiang is getting more and more agile now, and she can get married.”
Zhang Qiao’er carried the wheat straw into the kitchen. Hearing these words, she smiled and said, “No, I don’t know how long I can stay in the female college.”
“Oh, mom, why do you always say this? If you are willing, I would like to stay home with you for the rest of my life and be your intimate little padded jacket.”
“Forget it, the little padded jacket is fine, but you can’t keep it as an old padded jacket.”
Mixiang laughed herself.
“Mom, I took a few children back to my natal house after dinner.”
“Okay, yes, your mother hasn’t seen you for a long time.”
After breakfast, Zhao Donglin and Jiahui went to Yue’s house with a few children on a bicycle.
“mom!”
“Grandma, grandpa!”
“Uncle, aunt!”
The family had just had breakfast and was ready to go to the ground. The door squeaked open. The daughter and son-in-law, who hadn’t seen them in months, came with their granddaughter.
“Oh, when did you come back?” Chen Guixiang walked over and said with surprise on her face, “I told your brother and sister yesterday to see if they can meet your village when they go to town. People, ask if you are back. I didn’t expect to see you today.”
She patted the black egg Yingbao affectionately, and finally put the youngest in her arms and gave him a scent.
“My dear grandson, I want to die grandma.”
Fang Fang also pouted his mouth and took a sip from his grandmother. He stretched out his fleshy little hand on Chen Guixiang’s face and said, “Grandma, don’t die even if you think about me, grandma will live a hundred years old.”
Everyone laughed, and Chen Guixiang’s cheeks rubbed and put on the table were extremely rare.
“My house will let my grandma live for a hundred years. I really am a good grandson. I don’t forget that my grandma loves you and thinks about you. My grandma will tell you something. Next time your parents go to the city, don’t follow them, stay at home and follow. Grandma, how about living together?”
Everyone smiled at Fang Fang, watching how he answered, only to see Fang Fang swaying his head and refused.
“No, I have to follow my parents. They will miss me if they can’t see me.”
“Then what grandma wants you to do?”
Fang Fang touched the buttons on Chen Guixiang’s gown, and happily replied, “That’s okay. I will leave a photo for grandma. Grandma doesn’t need to think about me when she sees the photo.”
Several children go to the photo studio every year to take pictures on their birthdays. This year, they took them on their birthdays. At that time, Jiahui took a few more pictures and said that they would take them back to her hometown. I missed Fang Fang very much, so I don’t have to think about it when I saw the photos. I didn’t expect Fang Fang to remember Jiahui’s words.
“This kid is very clever. Come, give your aunt a hug, and your aunt will buy you sweets.”
“Did the black egg grow taller? It’s so fast.”
“Yingbao has also become more and more beautiful, like a little girl in the city.”
Only then did Jiahui remember the things she had brought, including the peony cigarettes for her father and brother, and for the children to eat, the floral skirts for sweet girls, and the sandals for her mother and sister-in-law.
“Ah, these shoes look good. Last time I went to town to see people wearing them. I said we didn’t sell them. I was envious for quite a while.”
Black hollow leather sandals, a pair of more than ten dollars, definitely look good when worn. These pairs of shoes are equivalent to a month’s salary of a city worker. All the things Jiahui bought with her own translation fees.
It can be said that in the Victory Commune, being able to wear such a pair of leather sandals is definitely a matter of face.
The sister-in-laws were very happy when they received the gifts. Jiahui bought them the correct size of the shoes, and even specially gave them half an inch, so that they would be more comfortable to wear on their feet.
