Second Marriage in the 1970s

The incident that the Zhao family gave out three college students caused a great shock in the village, and even the local newspapers reported it.

Many guests came in endlessly at home, and Zhang Qiaoer cheerfully took the melon seeds and fruit candies called from the supply and marketing agency to share with everyone.

Such a happy event, if in modern times, it is indispensable to entertain guests for dinner. In the 1970s, the lives of all families were not rich, but no one invited guests to display wine, but after all, it is a happy thing. It is also a happy thing to eat some melon seeds and candy to make everyone happy and happy. necessary.

Zhao Caixia took the child back to her family's house that day, her face was red, and her family had three college students, she and You Rongyan.

"Mixiang, it's so good. Who would have thought that you, a silly girl, could one day be admitted to university as a teacher."

This little Nizi looked silly all day long, but she didn't expect that this time when she gave her family a face like this, more than one hundred people in the commune were admitted to college, and her sister was one of them.

Meixiang smiled embarrassedly and said, "This is all the credit of the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law's guidance is good."

It can be said that the reason why I was able to pass the entrance examination was thanks to the few materials that were circulated at the beginning. Unfortunately, no one knew that it was sorted out by my sister-in-law. How glorious it is to say it.

But my sister-in-law said, we don’t want this reputation. Anyway, our family members can benefit. Now there are quite a few people with pink eye in the village.

Zhao Caixia patted her little sister on the head, "I know that it is your sister-in-law's contribution. Therefore, there are less misfortunes for a good wife and a good husband. Not only does it not make a lot of noise, but it can also get past the better."

As an aunt, she is very grateful to Jiahui’s younger siblings. Not only did she take good care of the two children of Heidan Yingbao, she also gave birth to such an elf baby. I heard that the college entrance examination is also the first for the younger siblings. Proposed.

After eating at noon, Zhao Caixia went to talk to him when he saw her second brother Donghe by the river.

"I heard Donglin said that you didn't agree when you called you to take the test together. You said that if you go, you are happy now."

She didn't mean anything else, but Dong He was young and divorced again. She, as an older sister, hopes that her younger brother will have a good time, go to college, and find a job easier in the future.

Not to mention how good it is, even if you are a teacher like Meixiang, being a teacher is better than farming at home and working.

This is because she is older, and if she is a few years younger, even her heart will be moved.

Zhao Donghe looked at the river without making a sound. He saw that his eldest brother had all passed the entrance examination. It would be a lie to say that they did not regret it, but that regret did not last long. He always felt that people should know their fate, and everyone’s fate is different. , Missed is missed, besides, even if he participates together, it does not mean that he will be admitted.

Jiahui took a few children back to her family home a year ago. She made two new clothes for her parents and a corduroy strap dress for Tian Niu.

"You are so busy, what kind of clothes are you going to give us."

Chen Guixiang smiled happily, but she said something else. His sister-in-law Zhou Yindi gestured to her daughter Tianniu with a suspender skirt, and she was also very satisfied.

"This kind of skirt looks really nice on girls, don't the kids in their city wear this?"

Jiahui went to the county town for an exam last month. The sister-in-law did it for Sweet Girl when she saw the children in the city wear this.

In fact, Jiahui didn't do it when she saw other people wear it. She just thought that in her previous life, the little girl looked very good when wearing a suspender skirt and overalls. Besides, the suspender skirt was made to save fabric.

"The clothes are pretty good-looking. I made them for Yingbao too. They will wear them together for the New Year, and they will definitely look like two twins when they stand together."

"Isn't it, Yingbao is so fast that he is almost as tall as Tian Niu now."

The difference between the two is more than half a year, and the difference in height gets smaller and smaller as they grow up.

"Time is too late, so I made a dress for Tian Niu, and next time I will make it for a few nephews."

"Oh, what new clothes do the boys want, and they will wear out after two days. The little girl hurts so much."

Zhao Lijuan has been thinking about giving birth to a girl from her second child, who will be born again as a boy, half a year older than Fang, one year old and just learning to walk.

"Mom was so happy to hear that you were admitted to college, so I almost bought firecrackers and set them off at your in-laws' house."

"That's not it, my girl is so good and so good, what's the matter of setting off two strings of firecrackers."

Chen Guixiang hugged and didn't let go. The girl had suffered so much, and now she has suffered all the suffering, and she has a child. This shows that her girl has no problems at all.

Thinking of Lu's family in Xiaoling Village, Chen Guixiang's smoky air was in a mess, and Chen Guixiang was really relieved when he thought about it.

This year's past is extremely lively, eating and drinking well every day, Zhang Qiaoer feels that he has never been so happy this year in his life.

Years later, the Zhao family held a family meeting on future life arrangements. The current situation is that Zhao Donglin Jiahui and Meixiang are going to the provincial capital to study at university. Should they leave their three children at home, or the family will take the children to the city. To live, you have to come up with a charter as soon as possible.

"I always feel that going to the city is too expensive, and there is still a mess at home, I am not willing to leave it."

The matter of bringing the children to live in the city has been mentioned once before. At that time, Zhang Qiaoer's attitude was vague, neither saying good nor bad. At the critical moment of the decision, she was really reluctant to leave her hometown.

As the old saying goes, golden kennels and silver kennels are not as good as their own dog kennels, no matter how prosperous the provincial capital is, it is not as comfortable as living in a house at home.

The mother-in-law Jiahui can understand that the old man is getting older and has never traveled far away in his life. In fact, he is very afraid of facing the new environment. Moreover, they save a lifetime and spend money everywhere in the city. They will definitely feel very distressed. .

But she couldn't bear to leave the child at home for four years. Then she would become a left-behind child.

The provincial capital is only more than a hundred kilometers away from home. If this distance is in the 21st century, it is not a big deal, but in the 1970s, it was really annoying to toss. , If you miss the time, it will be gone. It is really inconvenient to travel a few buses from the provincial capital to the county.

"Mom, I understand your thoughts very well. In fact, we are very reluctant to leave home, but for the future of this family, we are working hard to get admitted to university and go out. My thought is that the black egg is already big and we can go to the elementary school in the provincial capital. Going to school, the education in the city is different from that in the countryside. Children will become better. My idea is that if children leave their parents for a long time, it will be detrimental to their growth. In the past few years, let’s eat more and spend more money. , But it can benefit a child for a lifetime."

Jiahui expressed her opinion with reason and evidence. Zhao Donglin first nodded in agreement. Meixiang also felt that her sister-in-law's words were reasonable. The children in the county seemed to be more polite than the children in the country when they went to the county for an exam last time. The provincial capital is more prosperous than the county.

In terms of eloquence, Zhang Qiao'er is not as good as Jiahui. Zhao Manzhu smoked dry cigarettes and said nothing.

"Then... Donglin, what do you say?"

"Going to the city must be hard for parents and parents, but I also want to go with the family in my own heart. We want to improve ourselves when entering college, give our family a better life, and leave our children at home. There will always be places that we can’t take care of. This is possible, I still want to take them."

The meaning of these words is also to go with the family, Zhang Qiaoer had no excuses, so she had to agree.

"Well, then we have to prepare quickly. We have to look for the house, and what else we can bring to ourselves. You will have to spend money on everything, just like a bottomless pit."

"Then let's find a house first. We may not be able to find a complete house, so we don't need to bring a lot of things."

"Well, I will go in a few days."

Both schools start in March, and they have to finalize the house in February.

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Zhao Donglin set off for the provincial capital. Before setting off, Jiahui told him her requirements for the house.

First of all, it must be clean and tidy, close to the school, with elementary schools nearby, and neighbors must also get along well and have a human touch.

Everyone knows the story of Meng's mother's third move. The quality of the living environment can have a certain impact on the growth of the child.

"Our house now has almost two thousand dollars. Let's rent it on an annual basis. We can consider it within one hundred ten dollars. If it is really good, within one hundred and five dollars will do."

Jiahui was very relieved to hand over the renting to Zhao Donglin. He had been in the army for so many years, and he went back to the village to work as the village party secretary for two or three years. He has outstanding abilities in all aspects. Jiahui believes that he will find a suitable house for his family. .

Zhao Donglin entered the provincial capital and went to school first.

Wudong University is an old university that was abandoned during the Great Revolution. After the country opened the college entrance examination, the school was repaired, weeds and everything were cleaned up, and the walls were repainted.

Zhao Donglin originally wanted to see and left, but saw an old man sweeping the floor with a broom at the school gate. He turned his mind and walked over.

"Old man, do you work in this school?"

The old man was a little slow in his actions, wearing spectacles and gray hair. Hearing Zhao Donglin's words, he turned around slowly.

"Huh? What did you say?"

The old man didn't know if he didn't hear clearly or his hearing was poor, so Zhao Donglin increased his voice and asked again.

"Oh, I'm not, I'm just a janitor."

An elderly person who is still watching the gate of the school during the New Year, this kind of character setting, unknowingly reveals a trace of loneliness, which is very sympathetic.

"Old man, are you a local? I would like to ask, are there any renters around here?"

"Oh, do you want to rent a house?"

These days, there are not many floating populations, and few people go out to rent houses.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law and I were admitted to college, and I want to bring my children together, and want to rent a house nearby."

"Entrance to university, which university?"

Zhao Donglin smiled, "This is Wudong University."

The old man said, "That's not bad, I've been admitted to college."

This is the best university in Wudong Province. This year's score is 285 points. Being able to pass the exam shows that they are good enough. They are among the best, not to mention that both the couple passed the exam.

He saw that Zhao Donglin was tall and straight, and he asked with interest, "Looking at you, do you look like a soldier?"

"Yes, I have been a soldier for twelve years."

"Oh?"

The old people are interested. Is this a soldier who is admitted to college?

"Which unit are you from?"

"I belong to the military, but I have been discharged from the army for two years, and returned to my hometown to become the village party secretary."

The old man laughed twice, worked as a soldier for twelve years, transferred to the village as a grassroots cadre, and was admitted to university. In this view, he is a person who loves learning and progress!

The old man's impression of Zhao Donglin has been improved.
