Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 167
Wen Guizhen also said: "That's right, you two just need to make an appointment, and we will help you two make arrangements."

After talking about this matter, Mao Xueshan and his wife were obviously in a good mood, and Mao Chunhua's face was also rosy with excitement.

Unsurprisingly, He Ping got drunk again at "Brother Mao"'s house.

In the bedroom of the two of them, Wen Guizhen complained to her husband and said, "You know what He Ping's drinking capacity is, why would you drink with him, what does it look like to be a brother and brother after drinking all day long?"

Mao Xueshan smelled of alcohol, but his eyes were bright, and he was not affected by the alcohol at all, "It doesn't matter if you drink it once a year, it's just a few jokes, don't take it seriously, it's over, He Ping is not good after drinking Yes, I don’t cry or make trouble, I just like to call him big brother.”

It was also the first time for Mao Xueshan to see such a person. He saw a lot of people who cried and made noises when drunk, beat people and destroyed things, but He Ping was the first one he saw when he was drunk. Mao Xueshan laughed after thinking about it, "Don't tell me, this kid is quite interesting."

"Virtue!" Wen Guizhen rolled her husband's eyes. Men are like this. They would pour out their hearts and lungs after drinking a little wine. In fact, they are still heartless after sobering up.

Mao Chunhua wiped He Ping's face with a hot towel, and the towel gently brushed over the contours of the man's face. She looked at He Ping with tenderness in her eyes.

She was a little embarrassed by her mother's urging marriage just now at the dinner table. Fortunately, He Ping made a statement on the spot. In fact, the two of them had never discussed this matter at all, but He Ping's responsibility for his mother's urging made her very happy.

If He Ping doesn't mention this kind of thing, she can't make her a girl's family take the initiative to speak up, and when it comes to getting married, she has a feeling of panic. She always feels that she is still a girl and has not reached the age of marriage.

But now that his mother has brought it up, He Ping made a promise in front of his parents. It seems that the matter of marriage is a certainty. The feeling of free love is really good. I wonder if life after marriage will be as good as this .

In Mao Chunhua's mind, she was dreaming of the scene after she and He Ping got married, imagining that she was reprimanded with her big belly, and He Ping was pretending to be cowardly, she couldn't help but smile, which was also very good.

Early the next morning, He Ping woke up with a slight headache.

Today is Friday, Mao Xueshan and Wen Guizhen went to work after breakfast, and He Ping was going to take Mao Chunhua to the county for a walk.

It took Mao Chunhua half an hour to get dressed, and she also brought the toad mirror that He Ping bought for her.

"Tear off your trademark!" He Ping saw the white circle trademark on the left mirror of the toad mirror and wanted to tear it off for Mao Chunhua.

Mao Chunhua stopped him and said: "What do you know, you have to keep this, it's called fashion."

He Ping failed to shake his girlfriend's aesthetics, or the aesthetics of most people nowadays, when buying something, you must keep the trademark, for fear that others will not know what it is.

"It's so beautiful." He Ping looked at his girlfriend for a while and boasted. Mao Chunhua was tall and slender, and his skin was fair because he stayed indoors all year round. His oval face and cheeks were always slightly bright red. The upturned nose covered the watery eyes, adding a sense of alienation and delicacy. If you put on some lipstick, you would look a bit like a female star named Shuying in later generations.

"Let's go!" Mao Chunhua finished dressing up and hung up his boyfriend's arm.

The two got on their bicycles and rode towards the county seat. After the severe cold, the weather was much warmer, but riding on the bicycles, the wind was still a bit cold.

When he arrived at Dalinghe, He Ping remembered that a few days ago Han Zhaoshe and his gang were fighting at the skating rink and told Mao Chunhua a joke, which made Mao Chunhua tremble wildly.

"Hahaha, didn't Director Yu get out of the car and look for this kid Han Zhaoshe? Those who didn't know thought that this kid was going to retaliate. How could he confess his love to other girls like that!"

"Master Yu has a lot of people, can he be as knowledgeable as that kid. But his girl was scared and cried at the time, thinking that she met a stinky hooligan who couldn't get rid of her."

Mao Chunhua clutched his stomach: "Oh, haha, I can't do it anymore, don't tell me, it's too funny."

Originally, the two of them planned to go for a stroll in the county town. When they mentioned the skating rink, they thought that spring would begin soon and they would not be able to skate this year, so they changed their minds. See a movie.

Hong Qi sent away his cousin who came to pay New Year's greetings. The two families were separated by several forts, so they didn't come to visit until the third year of junior high school.

His mother bled heavily when she gave birth to the fifth child. Although her life was saved, she couldn't do any heavy work, and she was out of breath even after cooking.

The father worked alone in the family, and it was difficult enough to support six people. To support his education, he had to borrow money from relatives.Fortunately, he has been subsidized by the state in the past two years to attend the agricultural college, so he didn't spend any money, but that only kept the family's debt from increasing.

Originally, the money has been borrowed for several years, and the uncle's family has never urged him, because he knew that his family was in trouble, and he thought that it would not be too late to pay him back when he was working.

But my cousin’s partner is going to get married this year, so he will buy a bicycle if he wants to, which makes my uncle very worried. Few rural families can afford a bicycle. Even if they are rich, they are willing to buy a bicycle Isn’t it good for animals to help with farm work? Why do you have to spend money to buy a bicycle that is useless, just to look good and save effort on riding?
The uncle was embarrassed to come to ask for money by himself, so he sent his cousin to come over to pay New Year's greetings. Although the two families are separated by two castles, how could such parents not know about such short-term affairs.

The parents were silent after the cousin made a cryptic request to pay back the money. Hong Qi saw the word "shame" under their expressionless faces.

Ashamed of having no money, ashamed of dragging down their children and relatives, and even more ashamed of their own incompetence.

Hong Qi felt as uncomfortable as if his heart had been gouged out by someone with a knife. He held back his tears and sent his cousin to the door. When his figure disappeared in front of his eyes, tears finally burst out of his eyes.

Boys don't cry easily!
It is said that the collapse of an adult starts with borrowing money, but Hong Qi's collapse starts with being duped. He doesn't hate his uncle or his cousin.

They borrowed money out of good intentions, and they had no choice but to come here to collect the debt. He only hated himself for being powerless, hating himself for being in vain for so many years of upbringing from his parents, but not being able to repay one or two.

At this moment, what graduation assignment, what establishment, what degree, fuck it!

I want my parents and brothers and sisters to live a good life. From now on, I will eat well, wear warm clothes, and no longer have to worry about making a living. I don’t have to put down my dignity to borrow money, and I don’t have to be silent and ashamed when my relatives ask for debts!
Hong Qi thought of the man in Pingxian County who was used to opening his mouth but never broke his word.

It's done!
