Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Xiao Xiangdong did not speak immediately. After his mood stabilized, he slowly said: "Changchi is my comrade-in-arms. In that situation, whether it was him or anyone else, I would have pounced on him. In fact, I am very lucky that I rushed to him at that time." Up there, Changchi is my good friend and my comrade in life and death. I have never regretted saving him. So, Grandpa Zhang, neither you nor Changchi need to feel guilty."

Changchi learned that Xiao Xiangdong had lost his legs in order to save himself. He blamed himself and applied to perform a difficult and dangerous task. Xiao Xiangdong knew that he was punishing himself. He once asked Grandpa Zhang to persuade him, but Grandpa Zhang said, let him go, it would make him feel better.

"But, you are like this now..." Zhang Quanliang still felt guilty. Xiao Xiangdong joined the army early. When he returned to his hometown once, he saw Zhang Changchi was worried about his brother's medical expenses, so he suggested that he join the army. He even found someone to let him into his military camp and take care of him everywhere.

Xiao Xiangdong interrupted him, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm doing very well now. Really, you see, if it weren't for this accident, I wouldn't be able to marry such a good wife and have such a family now. So, blessings and misfortunes Relying on each other, being injured is not simply a bad thing. I have never complained about Changchi, so please let it go."

Zhang Quanliang's cloudy eyes flashed with relief, and he nodded, "Yes, you have indeed married a good wife. You must live a good life with her in the future.".

"Definitely." Xiao Xiangdong said, silently adding in his heart, as long as she is willing.

After buying good things at the supply and marketing cooperative, Meng Xiaoman turned to the black market.

As the New Year was approaching, there were more people in the black market than usual. Meng Xiaoman took a walk and found a skinny guy he hadn't seen for a long time.

Chen Lei has been walking around the black market every day recently, hoping to collect some good things and get the price difference from selling them in the county.

The quality of the rice and noodles I received from the wealthy old lady last time was very good. Several customers came to him after finishing the rice and asked if they had any.

But he came back several times and never saw the old lady again. Unexpectedly, today, he was finally made to wait.

Before Meng Xiaoman could reach him, he quickly walked over and said hello: "Hi, aunt, do you still remember me?".

Meng Xiaoman nodded. Although she was disguised, she could still see it when she was close. Therefore, she always kept her head down in the black market.

"Auntie, you are here. I have been looking forward to seeing you grow old for a long time. By the way, do you have any rice or noodles?"

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"One hundred pounds, okay?" the young man asked tentatively.

"A hundred pounds each? Okay."

The young man was afraid of saying too much and scaring the old lady, thinking that a total of 100 kilograms of rice and noodles would be good. Unexpectedly, the old lady had more rice and noodles than he did, and she actually said 100 kilograms each.

"The old price?"

"Well, the same place, pay the money and deliver the goods in half an hour."

"Got it."

The young man agreed and hurried back to get the money. Fortunately, he had exercised recently, otherwise he would not have been able to run home in the past half hour.

Half an hour later, Meng Xiaoman took the newly acquired fifty yuan and bought some dried mushrooms, dried fungus, an old hen, and two kilograms of eggs on the black market.

I saw someone selling salted duck eggs and bought a pound.

After leaving the black market, I put my things in the space and walked towards the town.

When she arrived in the town, she saw that the mule cart from the village had not reached the point of return, so she turned to the state-owned restaurant and bought four large meat buns. It’s been a long time since I’ve had meat buns, and I can’t think of anything good. During the Chinese New Year, when the New Year pig is killed in the village, she has to cut some meat and make some meat buns to eat.

When he got home, Xiao Xiangdong had finished peeling walnuts and was peeling chestnuts. Meng Xiaoman put away the things she bought, washed her hands, and sat next to him with the meat buns. "Take a break and eat something. The meat buns I just bought today are delicious."

Xiao Xiangdong had lived with her for a while and knew that she didn't like people who were polite, so he accepted her orders obediently.

After Meng Xiaoman finished eating the buns, he saw the money and paper on the table and asked, "What is this?"

"Grandpa Zhang sent it, IOU, and four yuan."

"Oh," Meng Xiaoman opened the IOU. In addition to the six yuan owed, there was also interest written on it. "Grandpa Zhang is so particular."

"Grandpa Zhang attended an old school and is one of the few old men in the village who can read and write."

The breeding house where Zhang Quanliang lived rarely had people coming, unless the team held a denouncement meeting and notified those who lived in the cowshed. So when there was a knock on the door, he opened it and saw Meng Xiaoman. , he was surprised.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhang. I heard from Xiangdong that Changming is back. I came to take a look. There is nothing good at home. I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative today and bought some eggs. I brought some for you to replenish his body. ." Meng Xiaoman handed over the basket in his hand.

Zhang Quanliang hurriedly refused, "No, no, it's not easy to get some eggs. You can keep them to eat."

"There are still some at home, not much, just a few. Let's make some egg soup for him." Meng Xiaoman stuffed the basket into the old man's arms. "I'll come back to get the basket tomorrow. It's cold. You Come inside quickly."

Snow has begun to fall in the sky, and the north wind is blowing hard, making people's faces hurt.

Zhang Quanliang stood at the door, watching Meng Xiaoman walk to the door, then turned around and closed the door.

"Grandpa, who is it? Ahem." Zhang Changchi leaned on the kang.

"Why are you up? Lie down quickly." He said, putting the basket on the kang, "You sent it to Sister-in-law Dong, saying that you were sick and she came to visit you."

"It's okay, Grandpa, I'll just sit for a while. I feel uncomfortable all over after lying down for a long time." Zhang Changming lifted the hay covering the basket and asked, "Is it that beautiful and educated educated youth sister-in-law?"

"Yes, she is a very good little girl, and she is a good match for your brother Xiang Dong.".

"Grandpa, there are eggs and a piece of bacon in it."

Zhang Quanliang took a look and said, "I will stew eggs for you tomorrow. I will save the bacon for you to eat when you are ready. When your brother comes back after sending money, I will give you gifts in return."

Zhang Quanliang put the basket in place, thought for a moment, and took out two eggs from it, "You lie down first, and I'll go to the cowshed."

In addition to being responsible for the livestock in the breeding area, Zhang Quanliang also took care of the people who were transferred to the cowshed, asking them to rehabilitate themselves and not run away.

In fact, a cowshed is not necessarily a shed where cattle are raised, but a place where those bad elements who are labeled as ghosts and monsters live.

Zhang Quanliang came to several low thatched houses and knocked on the door four times.

A tall, handsome young man opened the door.
