Second Marriage in the 1970s

The Zhao family had just left, and the entire Dayu Village knew about Dong Jiahui's kiss today.

"It is said that Zhao Donglin, the eldest son of Zhao Manzhu's family in Shanghe Village, was also divorced. The first daughter-in-law was an educated youth who went to the countryside. Later, somehow, she didn't want to go back to the city after spending time with Zhao Donglin, and left her two children cruelly. So he left. This Zhao Donglin is also a capable master. He joined the army as a company commander when he was a teenager. He returned to his hometown a while ago and became the party secretary of their Shanghe Village. His monthly salary is 62 yuan."

Never underestimate the power of the people’s gossip. As soon as a person walks away, the back foot is smashed. Who is in the family, how much salary, how big the house, and even raising a few chickens and pigs, it is clear. ,clear and direct.

"Really? Can she find such good conditions even if she is divorced? Isn't the man hiding something from her?"

This is human nature. Most people don’t see other people’s goodness. Their hidden line is that divorced women cannot have such a market. Even if this man is the village party secretary, there must be something wrong with the high salary. .

"Hidden Ji hasn't heard of it. Just now when someone passed by, I took a long look. I was wearing a military uniform and looked very energetic. I was tall, at least six feet tall."

One foot is 33 centimeters, and six feet is equivalent to a height of about 1.8 meters. This height is considered high regardless of the age.

"Now Chen Guixiang is satisfied. After picking up these days, she really picked up a good one for her."

Zhao Donglin was a company-level cadre in the army and was paid at the 20th level. After he changed his job, he became a township-level clerk. He was assigned to Shanghe Village by his superiors to serve as the village secretary. The salary is for the 21st-level cadres.

The 21st level administrative salary is sixty-two yuan a month, and now one pound can buy one catty two taels of eggs and one catty seven taels of pork.

You can buy eleven catties for cornmeal, seven catties for white flour, four taels per catty for soybean oil, and hundreds of catties for white radish.

Rural people admire the urban household registration of urban residents. With urban household registration, they can recruit workers in factories. The most common salary for urban workers is 36 yuan a month, and the average living expenses of urban residents is 8 yuan a month. If it is counted as rural The cost of living is even less. Two or three yuan per capita is enough. After all, there are private land in rural areas, and vegetables and eggs can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to spend extra money to buy them. A salary of sixty-two yuan is still available every month. No wonder many people in the village feel sour in their hearts, no matter how large an income is.

Starting in the afternoon, a lot of people from the Dong family came to inquire about the relationship between the Dong family and the Zhao family.

"Guixiang, you're exasperated now. The one Jiahui found is better than the previous one."

Chen Guixiang was originally smiling, but when he heard this, his face was a little unsightly. He felt that he didn't know what to say when he said it. At this time, he still mentioned the Lu family. This is not intentional to make people feel unhappy.

Chen Guixiang hadn't spoken yet, and someone else jumped out and changed the subject, becoming a peacemaker.

"Oh, today is a good day, we can do what we did before, let's just talk about it later."

"That's right, they are the secretary of the village. They eat public meals. Jiahui can follow along with her for the rest of her life."

"I heard that the man has two children, how old are they?"

"One is four years old, one is less than one year old, they are all quite young."

"The little one is good, the little Jiahui will be able to grow up with her in the past. If she is old, she will be unfamiliar with her mother."

"That's fine, no matter if Jiahui will have children in the future, he is not afraid of having children anyway."

Everyone, you and I talked about the excitement, Chen Guixiang would sit with you and answer a few words occasionally, and then everyone would leave after working hours in the afternoon.

*****

After Zhang Qiaoer returned home, she took the birthdates of her son Zhao Donglin and Dong Jiahui to count the days. By the way, she asked if the two were suitable. Now the whole country is carrying out activities to break the feudal superstition, so she secretly asked about it with egg whites.

"These two horoscopes can be counted down to the top and the bottom. The harmony is made in heaven, the husband and wife are in harmony, everything goes well, and they can enjoy their old age, and their children and grandchildren will have great prospects."

Zhang Qiao'er happily closed her mouth from ear to ear when she heard that the two of them were in harmony. As for the words "Many children, more blessings" and "Children and grandchildren", she didn't pay much attention, and returned home with her husband's good days.

There are good days in September, October and December in the lunar calendar, because this year’s New Year’s Eve is early, and January 30th after New Year’s Day is New Year’s Eve. The day is no, she is entangled with the remaining two.

"Mom, if you ask the older brother what you mean, if he wants to marry a daughter-in-law earlier, you can choose the first one. If he is willing to wait more, then you can choose the second one for him."

The ninth month of the lunar calendar is also the October of the solar calendar. It is the time when the weather is not hot or cold. It started to freeze in November. Zhao Caixia herself married in winter. It was a pain, so she felt that she could get married sooner. The knot will be settled sooner. Newcomers don’t have to suffer. Those who come to the house to help make the noodles don’t have to suffer. Even the family doesn’t have to wash pots and dishes in cold water.

"Ask your brother, ask him what he can say, he must be eager for his wife to come in early."

Zhao Caixia saw that her mother was not smiling reluctantly, she peeled peanuts in her hand and asked curiously, "Mom, I think you are quite satisfied with this new wife. Why did you hear Meixiang say that you disagree? ."

Zhang Qiaoer put down the red paper with the wedding date in his hand, sighed, and told the eldest daughter about the last time she went to Daewoo Village.

"I think this girl is pretty good, looks good, and knows how to take care of the children. What do you think your brother will do when he comes back from marrying a wife? Don't you just want to live with the children? He chooses the person himself. It's not a matter to disagree. Your brother could not really blame me about Wang Mei's matter before. If I don't follow him this time, with his temperament, it's possible that I don't look for it in my life."

Zhao Caixia crushed the peeled peanuts and fed them to Yingbao, while feeding her niece and comforting her mother.

"Mom, don't think so much. Donglin can't blame you in his heart. No one knows that Wang Mei is like that. How sweet her mouth is when she first met her. Just like touching honey, don't say you look bad. Yes, I still look bad. People will change. She is a city dweller, and it’s normal for her not to spend time in the countryside and want to go back to the city. I’ve been to our county before I’ve been to a big city. I’m still envious of living. People in the county town, they go out on the highway, there are shops, markets and movie theaters. We don’t have any of these when we go to the countryside. So, I always don’t think about Wang Mei going back to the city. Although Donglin has no daughter-in-law, it is not now. I'm looking for it again, but I'm sorry for these two motherless children."

Zhao Caixia touched Yingbao’s head. Yingbao was well taken care of by Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Meixiang. Rice batter, egg custard, and steamed buns soaked in sugar water are definitely among the best in the village. She also lost Zhao Donglin’s high salary, otherwise I can't afford to eat it like this.

Zhao Donglin’s monthly salary is still handed over to her family. Zhao Caixia knows that her mother is holding a lot of money. Like she usually goes back to her family’s house, her mother does not give her anything less. The second fat girl loves to come to her grandma’s house. I know that grandpa's food is a lot.

Before, her mother was quite economical, but now I don't know if she wants to open it, and she is willing to take out the money to buy food for the children.

"That's how the gift for Dong's family will come?"

For sixty-six yuan, I buy two from head to toe, plus 50 catties of cornmeal, 20 catties of white flour, 10 catties of brown sugar, 10 catties of fruit candy, five big front doors, 200 eggs, and two beds of cotton wool.

The reason why he added so much food is because the Dong family said that the donation money will not be kept by the Dong family, so Dong Jiahui will bring it all. In addition, the Dong family also gave Jiahui a bed, a wardrobe, and a sewing machine.

The sewing machine was added by Chen Guixiang. In the past six months, Dong Jiahui has been able to make some money by sewing and mending clothes. He has kept it for Chen Guixiang except for adding some things to the family. The money is not much, but it is a few dozen dollars. Chen Guixiang feels distressed. Girl, I want to add more money to buy a sewing machine for her, so that she can continue to do some private work to earn some money when she gets to her husband's house.

It is hard for a woman to have money and a waist. She is afraid that her boudoir will be weak and be bullied in her husband's house. Although the Zhao family looks good now, it will take a long time to see people's hearts.

Chen Guixiang’s suggestion was that most of the Dong family did not have any comments. Although she was married for the second time, Chen Guixiang used her own money to buy dowry for her daughters. Another one, Dong Jiahui is looking for a good family, the cadres in the village, can you guarantee when it will be used or not? When it comes to the relationship between people and the society, there are multiple paths for multiple people, and those who have a clear mind will not be a petty profit.

"Your sister would still post if we didn't make any money when we got married. Is there such a woman in the countryside who marries a girl like this?"

Rural people’s sons are valuable, and most of the bridesmaids’ beauties will be deducted from the maiden’s family, even if they don’t accompany them. It’s good to go to the sister-in-law. Not only did the mother-in-law say that Zhao’s things will be brought by the sister-in-law, she also bought something for her. There is a bed, a wardrobe and a sewing machine. Even if the sister-in-law has dozens of dollars with her mother-in-law, the rest will cost hundreds of dollars, right?

Liu Xiuyun didn't have an opinion on my sister-in-law, but she was unbalanced in her heart.

"Other people's homes are other people's homes, ours is ours, so you'll be happy if you don't be a girl? If you're a woman, why should a woman embarrass a woman."

Dong Jiahui said this. The Dong family found it quite interesting, and they often joked with this sentence. Dong Aimin couldn't help laughing when he said Liu Xiuyun.

"What are you talking nonsense, it's difficult for me to mutter like this?"

Liu Xiuyun snorted and threw a piece of clothing over. After her husband interrupted her, the discomfort in her heart was mostly gone. The rest can only endure. The key is that this kind of thought must not be let her mother-in-law know, otherwise she will have to do it again. Talk about how ignorant and ununited one is.

"You are the daughter-in-law of the Dong family. You have to abide by the rules of the Dong family. If we live with our family, we can eat a big pot of rice like the production team. There can be no such thing as you eat more and I eat. If you feel that you can’t eat enough, you can eat hard. If you are not hungry, you will be full. If you are not hungry, you will feel unhappy just because others eat more than yourself. That’s you. You have to reflect on your own problems and correct them."

Such an adult, how can he meet people after being taught so in front of her mother-in-law? Anyway, Liu Xiuyun is quite **** at her own mother-in-law. Although her mother-in-law looks very kind, she is not the kind of temperament that comes to life every day, but she speaks and does things in a set way. Can make people dizzy.

What's more speechless is that every time after being taught by her mother-in-law, Liu Xiuyun felt that what her mother-in-law said was particularly right and reasonable. This caused her own mental entanglement and collapse. She knew that she was wrong intellectually, but controlled her thoughts. Can't help thinking that, sometimes she feels that she will get schizophrenia.
