When Wang Cuizhi woke up, he rubbed his swollen head, his throat was so dry with smoke.

"I haven't drank for so many years, and I was so drunk all of a sudden that my alcohol intake has regressed."

Muttering to herself, she stared blankly at the strange old man lying beside her. , I was drinking with her at the noon banquet, and for some reason, they slept together.

I drank it, and I can't remember what happened next.

Wang Cuizhi glanced at the neat and bright clothes on his body, pouted his lips, first went down to the ground, brought a thermos and poured a cup to quench his thirst, and looked around the house with his eyes.

The house looks clean and the conditions are not bad. In addition to the clock, teapot, and flashlight, there is a boxy play box in the chest of drawers, and there is a bottle of colorful in the corner. plastic fake flowers.

Wang Cuizhi glanced at the flower one more time, and then looked up at the photo frame on the wall.

The photo frame is not big, and there are several large and small black and white photos inside.

Wang Cuizhi glanced at a family portrait at the time. The man in it was the old man on the kang, looking younger. The wife and children next to him were sitting upright, smiling dryly and unnaturally, but they were not ugly.

Have a wife?

Wang Cuizhi frowned and swept his eyes to the ground, but did not see many shoes.

She was a little relieved, and then leaned over to the kang to look at the old man carefully.

The old man was snoring and sleeping soundly, the smell of alcohol was pungent, and when he got hot after drinking, he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the sweater collar that was stitched inside.

Wang Cuizhi made a judgment in his heart that the old man was probably a widower with a dead wife. Otherwise, a woman who would decorate her room with plastic flowers would not ask the men in her family to wear open-knit sweaters, which would be disgraceful.

It's good if she doesn't have a wife, she doesn't do the immoral thing of hooking up with married husbands.

Knowing what to do, Wang Cuizhi only frowned slightly, looking at the old man's black and gray nails, not so disgusted.

A man who has been carefully taken care of by his wife for most of his life, how well do you expect him to clean up? It's not bad to be able to wash your clothes and hair.

Wang Cuizhi looked around, his mind turned a few times, his eyes looked at the star calendar on the wall and the map of China, and then he glanced at the crisp gray tunic of woolen fabric on the old man's body, and focused on the silver watch on his wrist. And the gold-trimmed pen in his coat pocket, and finally he looked at the old man's appearance.

The man who can trick her into going home looks really decent.

Although he is a little older than the handsome guy in the picture in the frame, he is still handsome. His hair is black and white, and his face has deep and shallow wrinkles, but he does not have age spots, and his skin is quite fine and white. It's rosy, and it's not a crime at first glance.

Wang Cuizhi thought for a while, then climbed back onto the kang lightly, laying back down and pretending to sleep.

It's hard to explain when you go out to meet people at the moment. You have to be dumb and your reputation will be ruined. It's better to delay and wait for the old man to wake up and see what his rules are.

She can't make her suffer alone, can't she.

Wang Cuizhi lay down quietly, listening to the snoring, no small or small, sniffing the lingering smell of alcohol, and suddenly remembered Tang Yuanzheng's biological father.

Tang Maoren was her first man. The two were introduced to each other. They chatted a few times when they met, and they were very satisfied with each other.

She admired him for being handsome, upright and literate, and he liked her to be gentle, capable, and willing to make progress. The two naturally came together and formed a revolutionary family. After the second year of marriage, they gave birth to a lovely and lovely son. The family of three is happy. A good compliment?

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. In the winter when his son was four years old, Tang Maoren followed a group of young people in the production team into the mountains to hunt. He wanted to get some meat and meat to make money, and the New Year's Eve dinner could be more meaty.

Unexpectedly, this hunt will meet a big guy, a litter of big wild boars!

Unfortunately, Tang Maoren was overturned by a wild boar and rolled down the hillside, causing the person to faint.

The young people who went with him were busy fighting with a litter of wild boars, and they fought and retreated. There were not a few people who were lucky, and no one could spare his hands to save him. When he found someone later, Tang Maoren had been buried in the snow hole for a long time.

He hurriedly sent the person to the hospital for rescue, and his life was saved, but the person was paralyzed, and he suffered from a whole body problem.

She was short of clothes and clothes in those days, and life was already tight. There was still a medicine jar lying in the house. She was a woman pulling a four-year-old child, and she really broke her teeth and survived it.

It seemed that her life had not been easier since then.

When you open your eyes, you are busy, doing laundry, cooking, chopping firewood and carrying water, feeding the younger ones and feeding the older ones, shampooing, wiping body, excrement and urine, and working at home to earn work points, otherwise the whole family will be lost. Eating, day after day, year after year, there is no time to stop.

It's not that she has never complained, she is really tired, so tired that she can't wait to run away.

But thinking about her son, she can walk away and leave a paralyzed man to call her son to live?

Besides, her husband was actually kind to her, and he wasn't happy about being paralyzed.

Just grit your teeth and boil it for a while, anyway, men don't live long. Until he left, or until her son was a little older, she would have survived.

Just trying to persuade herself again and again, she just gritted her teeth and endured it for ten years! From a young daughter-in-law who had just gotten married and was still alive, she became a middle-aged woman full of vicissitudes.

The exhaustion and suffering really made people desperate, she was so numb, she couldn't remember that she used to be a lovely woman who needed someone to take care of her.

Wang Cuizhi closed his eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.

She has the capacity to drink, and when she was a girl in her parents' family, she could accompany her father to drink two cups during the festivals.

In the first two years of marriage, the husband also brought back half a catty of loose wine every ten days and a half months, and asked her to make two snacks, and the couple had a drink for the month.

Even if there is nothing to talk about, just sitting across from each other like this, raising a glass to each other's eyes, there will be a smile in the eyes, and the heart will be sweet and warm, and all the fatigue of the day will be relieved.

But ever since the man lay down and drank medicine all the year round, he has never eaten alcohol again, has no spare money, and has no spare heart.

She also lost her drinking friends. Even if her family felt bad for her, they always secretly gave her money to eat, but they never persuaded her to drink again.

His own man was paralyzed on the kang waiting for someone to serve him, and his daughter-in-law was drinking and having fun outside. Who knew that he would stab her in the spine?

As for the man in front of her who left, not to mention the man she was looking for later. Halfway husband and wife, simply find someone to live with.

Fang Jianting wanted to find a mother-in-law to arrange the marriage for the little girl, and hoped to find a virtuous and capable wife to support the family. She had to continue to live according to his ideas, and she could not touch all tobacco, alcohol, cards, and even swear words.

Wang Cuizhi pouted and let out a dirty breath. She made up her mind to find a step-wife who knew the cold and the heat. First, she wanted to be healthy and not be a drag on others. Second, she had to be knowledgeable and interesting. .

Thinking about it this way, the old man around him seems to be in line with everything, and it's not that he can't consider it.

To be able to come to her son's house for a wedding banquet, at least one must be a cadre, right? Working to his age, the official salary will not be low.

If you count his children in the photo, they should all be married, and they don't seem to be by the old man's side. When she gets married, she can be the master of the family, and she doesn't need to serve the family and be a mother. What's the difference between being an official wife?

She and the old man had a single relationship, but what do you want to eat, what do you want to drink?

This deal is done.

As for the news, whether her son's daughter-in-law's face will look bad, she can't control it. Those are two little white-eyed wolves!

And it won't necessarily be that bad.

Even if the old man doesn't want to admit the account when he wakes up, he won't make a big noise if he asks for a face. If he doesn't want to pay her a hush fee, it's not a loss for her.

Wang Cuizhi's little abacus in his heart crackled, and he lay down firmly, not in a hurry.

Only the seeds of the brain are still uncomfortably swollen, and I haven't completely sobered up.

It seems that I can't drink it at night, Wang Cuizhi thought a little regretfully.

I haven't had a drinking ban for more than ten years, and today I've caught the greedy worms all at once, and I haven't had enough of it yet.

Stop it, wait for the next time.

The next time she drinks her own wedding wine, it's fine to drink it all day and night, she has the final say in her own family's rules!

Wang Cuizhi thought about it, and fell asleep again after a while, still babbling in the dream, not sure if he would drink again.

***

Jian Qingtong stayed at home quietly for an afternoon, painting to pass the time.

Liu Dani came over at around five o'clock next noon to get busy with dinner.

The marriage word for marriage was first written in faint, and the ceremony was performed when faint, so it was called marriage.

However, the customs have changed over time. Now that the custom of grabbing marriages has long since disappeared, and they don't care about the auspicious time of marriage, naturally there are no such particulars.

Jian Qingtong didn't know anything about the marriage customs at this time and here, so they all arranged for them to be arranged by a few sisters-in-law.

The wedding was simple, with a full meal at noon, guests and a ceremony held. In the evening, a small number of close relatives and friends were invited to get together again, and there was the meaning of reward for helping.

All the leftovers from the noon banquet were taken home as favors to relatives and neighbors, and they had to be re-fired in the evening. On the wedding day, how can you eat old vegetables and leftovers.

Liu Dani worked neatly on the stove with her hands and feet, and the dishes were all ready and ready to go.

Jian Qingtong was embarrassed to lie down and watch people busy, and wanted to help start a fire, but was chased away by Liu Dani.

"You are the bride, take a rest honestly, I don't need you for this kind of work."

Jian Qingtong sneered, and did not go back to the house, talking to her by the side.

"Sister-in-law, isn't it cruel to make a bridal chamber here?"

She was actually a little afraid of marriage troubles, and the community feared that people would thank Bumin.

Liu Dani put the lid on the pot and simmered, and sat on the small bench to add firewood to the stove, comforting her with

a smile: "Afraid? It's alright. All soldiers are well-qualified, and those who dare to make a bridal chamber must be familiar with Tang Yingying. I'm afraid of him, so I don't dare to make trouble too much."

Jian Qingtong said that he was not comforted at all, and continued to inquire with concern:

"Why are they making trouble, what projects do they have?"

Liu Dani really knew this, and continued talking, There was an unconscious smile on his face:

"Hey, what else can you do, that's all. I'll ask you two to bite an apple together with a thread, the groom does push-ups with the bride on his back, asks the bride to sing a song, ask you The two of you are in love, at most I want you to kiss each other, don't embarrass others, just have fun, don't be afraid."

Jian Qingtong smiled politely but embarrassedly, and was even more panicked.

Is it too late to escape marriage now?
