After dressing as a widow

The expression on Guo Xiaohua's face was a little stiff, and she was also a little confused: "Before, Dad said to find someone in the village, close to home, but later he didn't say it, it seems to be talking about a village in the mountains."

Xiaogang Village is already very remote, and if you go further into the mountains, it will be a village like Mrs. Lin's.

Lin Zhen didn't expect it to be so far away. If Guo Xiaohua married to this kind of place, the chances of being able to come back in a lifetime are no more than ten fingers, and he looks really too young, not at the age where he can get married. Not to mention that it is possible to get pregnant within a few months of marriage, and then have a full belly.

Just thinking about it, Lin Zhen found it hard to accept.

He looked at Guo Xiaohua: "Then do you want to get married?"

"I don't know." Guo Xiaohua didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and answered hesitantly. Many people in the village lived like this. He has a few friends who either got married last year or planned to get married this year. About his age.

Even his elder brother was like this. He gave birth to a brother just a year after he entered the house, and he is still pregnant with another.

Suddenly, Guo Xiaohua didn't know what she was thinking, and she had the courage to look at Lin Zhen: "Cousin Zhenzhen, are you married? How are you doing after getting married?"

This question is really deadly.

The original body's marriage history can be called wonderful, and now he is still letting him clean up the mess.

He said to Guo Xiaohua: "I have been married twice before, but now I am a widow, and I will take care of this son."

"Twice..." This was surprising in Guo Xiaohua's eyes, he had never been in contact with anyone who had been married twice.It is completely unimaginable that a brother can marry twice.

Lin Zhen could only give a brief description of his marriage history, of course, omitting the part of the original calculation, he just said that he got married after seeing each other, and then he had a disagreement for the first time, and Gu Da died after drinking for the second time up.

He finally said to Guo Xiaohua: "If I want to choose, I may not be married until now. I was too young at that time, so I decided on the very important matter of getting married in a daze."

"But I'm 14 years old this year, and it will be difficult to find someone when I get older in two years." Guo Xiaohua didn't say, in fact, he can't find a suitable one now, and everyone in the village thinks he is too thin She is too young, and the pregnancy mole is not deep enough, so it will be difficult to give birth after marrying back.

So his father had no choice but to marry him to the mountains, at least the boys there would not dislike him.

Lin Zhen said: "In two years, you will only be sixteen, not too old."

Guo Xiaohua listened to his words, lowered her head, and said after a long time: "Actually, I really don't want to marry into the mountains. I heard that it is far away from my home, and I have to walk for several days. I will listen to my parents when they are sick and uncomfortable." If there is no news, you will not be able to come back.”

"Brother Zhenzhen, do you think I told my father and father that we can get married in two years?"

"They are your father and father, as long as you say it, they will listen." At this point, Lin Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said those words to Guo Xiaohua just to see the child come up with his own ideas.

Although he felt sorry for Guo Xiaohua, if Guo Xiaohua insisted on going her own way, he couldn't jump out and be the person who meddles in other people's affairs.

Fortunately, Guo Xiaohua still has some ideas of her own, and will say "I don't want to".

Lin Zhen looked at Guo Xiaohua, who finally had a childish smile on her face, bent down and picked up the remaining snow on the haystack, squeezed a little rabbit, and handed it to him: "Let's go up, go up!" Come down to the top of the hill and go home."

"Okay." The little rabbit pinched by Xue was only a little bigger than a thumb, and Guo Xiaohua spread her hands, afraid that she would crush it.

He looked at Lin Zhen who was walking in front of him, and carefully touched the little rabbit. He felt that cousin Zhenzhen was so pretty, just like this little rabbit, white and cold, and he wanted to be let go just by looking at it. in the palm of your hand.

The two walked to the top of the hill, looked at the other hills around them, and then came down. The little rabbit also melted into water because of the temperature of the palm.

Guo Xiaohua took a deep breath and walked to Guo Fulang's side: "Father, I want to tell you something."

He was also introverted at home, Guo Fulang and Guo Fu were used to his quiet temperament, when they suddenly heard that he had something to say, they couldn't help but soften their voices, "What's the matter, Xiao Hua."

Guo Fulang's softer tone than usual gave Guo Xiaohua some courage. He looked up at Guo Fulang and said, "I want to get married in two years, is that okay?"

Guo Fulang frowned, "Why did you suddenly have this plan? Before the new year, I asked people in the village to inquire about the families in the mountains. There are two families who also have the idea of ​​getting married. I am planning to celebrate the [-]th day of the first lunar month. Take a look."

The words had already been spoken, and Guo Xiaohua broke the jar: "I don't want to marry into the mountains, it's too far away from our home, and I want to come back to see if you and my father can't come."

"But you are not young anymore, and your brother was similar to you when he got engaged, so now he gave birth to a brother smoothly, and now he is pregnant again." In Guo Fulang's thinking, the younger the better. Children, it will be difficult when you get older, and it is harder for a younger brother to conceive than a girl. If you don’t marry at a good age, what will you do in the future.

Under Guo Fulang's continuous offensive, Guo Xiaohua was already a little dazed, and didn't know where to refute her father. He felt that his thoughts were right, but her words were also right.

Lin Zhen sighed, and said, "Uncle, I can actually understand Xiaohua's thoughts. My sister-in-law was married in the mountains. It has been almost ten years now, and she has only been back three times. She can't even hear the news from home. Come on, if you want to go back, you really can’t let go of the things here.”

"Xiaohua is only fourteen, and it is suitable to raise him for another two years to get married. Besides, the family is going to use compost and manure water. After this year, it will be a bumper harvest year, and he can be raised in vain. Maybe the marriage will be in the village. Just like Brother Yu, we can see each other from time to time."

After teaching the villagers to compost manure, and knowing from Father Lin that Lin Zhen actually opened a shop in the town by himself, and sent his stepson to school, Lin Zhen's words became very useful to Guo Fulang.

Hearing Lin Zhen's words, he couldn't help suppressing his own thoughts in his heart, and thought about it carefully.

It's true that the mountain is too far away, you can't even see one side of it all year round, and Xiao Hua is short and small, so going to the mountain must be hard.

Just like what Lin Zhen said, anyway, this year we will use compost and manure water, and there will definitely be more food in the house. At that time, we will raise the little flowers well and add more dowry, even if we can’t marry in the village, we will marry in A place closer to yourself is fine.

After thinking about it again and again, Guo Fulang gritted his teeth and agreed to Guo Xiaohua, but he also said that he must get married before the age of 17 in two years at the latest.

Guo Xiaohua couldn't help laughing and rolled his eyes, he turned to look at Lin Zhen and smiled.

-

Resting at Guo's house for one night, after lunch the next day, Lin Zhen and Lin Adie were about to leave. Seeing Guo Fu and Guo Fulang stuffing things into the back basket, they repeatedly refused.

But Guo Fu had a stiff neck, and Apa Lin had to accept it for life and death. Apa Lin had no choice but to accept the bag of sorghum cakes weighing about three to four catties, and the clay pot stuffed by Aunt Guo. Pots of pickled fruit.

If it wasn't for customary reasons that he couldn't take back the things he brought, I'm afraid Guo Fu and the others would have to give them the bacon with pig's feet.

"Uncle and aunt, you go back quickly, don't send them off." Lin Zhen looked at Guo Fu and Guo Fulang beside him with his back on his back. The couple had already sent them to Shanliangzi in Xiaogang Village, and they were halfway away from home. An hour's journey.

Guo Fu and Guo Fulang, who were persuaded and persuaded, said: "Then we will send it here, you should be careful on the road, don't fall."

"Yes, I will wait for the good news of your autumn harvest this year." This is the happiest time for Dad Lin to go home. He doesn't have to face his brother's eternally sad expression. .

Guo Fu smiled brightly: "I will pick up my brother to play at that time, and the real brothers will come too."

"Okay, then let's go." Father Lin and Lin Zhen shook hands to them, turned around and walked towards the mountain road.

It took about the same time as when they came here. It was already dark when they entered Liyu Village. Fortunately, they walked in a hurry and came down the winding mountain road at the last second before dark.

Lin Zhen and Father Lin had just entered Xialiyu Village, when Uncle Ji, who lives in Xialiyu Village, suddenly stopped them: "Brother Lin Fulang, why are you back at this time?"

"?"

Lin Zhen and Father Lin looked at each other, what happened when they came back at this time?What's wrong?

Uncle Ji hurriedly said: "Today, Li Zhaodi brought a matchmaker to your house. The matchmaker opened his mouth so powerfully that he said that Xiaoyao and Li Jiu were a match made in heaven. Many people who watched the excitement said that the two were It's a good fit."

"But your family doesn't seem to like this marriage, and you can't leave the matchmaker, which makes the villagers confused." Uncle Ji is a person in the village who likes to go to crowded places, and today he also went to Lin's house There was a lot of fun outside, but he and many others thought that the Li family and the Lin family had made an agreement, and they just wanted to enjoy themselves.

Lin Xiaoyao didn't want to marry Li Jiu at all. After Mrs. Lin said she couldn't match the matchmaker and Li Zhaodi, she directly came out and said that she had never had anything to do with Li Jiu, and let the Li family marry her. This heart is dead.

But the story of the two families was widely known, and Lin Xiaoyao's sudden repentance was shocking. Combined with some rumors from the village before, everyone murmured in their hearts, could it be that Lin Xiaoyao has made a name for himself in the town? I hate the poor and love the rich and look down on Li Jiu.

But no matter what, the two families also sent tokens. Isn't this a disaster for the Li family and Li Jiu?

Due to the reputation of the Lin family in the village, everyone dared not say it clearly, but they inevitably talked about it behind their backs.

If in the past, Uncle Ji was one of these people, but he has dealt with Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao for so long, he knows Lin Zhen's temper best, and with a brother like Lin Zhen, Lin Xiaoyao is definitely not like that People, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in it. .
