He Songbai didn't say anything, just smiled, he said to the old grandmother: "Come on, our days will be better."
"The country has given us hope that as long as you work hard, there is always a chance to stand out. Granny just waits for happiness."
Grandma Li remembered that many years ago, the skinny young man ran to her bed and asked her for permission to do business.
He told her: "No one will get tired of a good life, and a hard time will make people lose hope."
Granny Li looked at the bustling and prosperous in front of her, and the fire on the edge of the stove kept burning, symbolizing the endless fire.He did not disappoint her, all the promises he had made were fulfilled one by one.
She smiled and said to her grandchildren, "Okay, grandma is waiting for happiness."
"Still waiting for my great-grandson."
He Songbai heard that his ears were red again.
He coughed lightly and looked around to find his wife.She is pregnant and has to be cautious in the first three months. She can't drink, get cold or get tired.Soon he found Zhao Lanxiang who was entertaining the guests in the crowd.
"Go inside and sit down for a while?" He Songbai said.
Zhao Lanxiang entertained a group of educated youths who used to be in the countryside. They coaxed the couple to drink alcohol or drink a glass of wine.
He Songbai drank without hesitation, but did not drink a glass of wine.He smiled and said: "Everyone is rushing towards me today, don't embarrass my mother-in-law."
Everyone laughed again, and filled He Songbai with a bottle of wine.They still remember that when He Songye got married many years ago, He Songbai drank all their gangs.
Although He Songbai didn't wear the groom's official clothes, he also wore a decent tunic suit with a small flower on his chest, which looked energetic.Zhao Lanxiang also went to the countryside to follow the custom, and instead of wearing a pearly red wedding dress, she wore a red gown, which was not much different from the bride married in the country.
It's just that the red flower gown she wore casually, paired with the bright and clear eyes, had the beautiful beauty that was rushing on the face, and the skin that was white enough to pinch out of the water reflected the sun as if it would shine. The scholar's temperament, confidence and elegance, eye-catching.
Those who had eaten this wedding banquet said that the daughter-in-law of the He family was the most handsome in Shili Baxiang.
Although there are also several people who are embarrassed by the new wife, Li Dali and the Li family's big cows, big horses and big dogs stood up and blocked them all like a solid fence.Zhao Lanxiang looked at them gratefully and hurried back to the house to rest.
The wedding banquet was set from early morning to late evening. He Songbai came back to drink a few hangover soups and rubbed his legs.
There was a strong smell of wine in his breath, which caused Zhao Lanxiang to feel distressed.
"Drink less."
He Songbai shook his head, and the whole person was lying on the bed. He looked up and said with satisfaction: "I am very happy today."
His wife wiped his face with a hot towel, and He Songbai rubbed it like a child, and whispered, "I didn't dare to talk to you before because I was afraid of being laughed at by others."
"We can only covertly cover up our own conversations, and even family members dare not tell. At that time, how much I wanted others to know that I was talking to such a good woman, but I could only hold it in my heart."
"After you left in seven or eight years, some people said that I wanted to eat swan meat."
He Songbai showed his teeth, and his handsome face ridiculed himself, "Thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, now that the Toad eats swan meat? I have to let them all see."
"Do not bully the poor..."
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help laughing when he compared himself to a toad. She threw the towel aside and leaned over to lean into his ear and said, "The swan meat is actively brought into your mouth for you to eat."
"Do you like it or not?"
However, Feng Lian was very happy. She suggested that her daughter take a year off from school to prepare for pregnancy. Zhao Lanxiang agreed after careful consideration. The most craving of her two lives is to have a healthy child and take good care of it.The nightmare of two miscarriages made her dared not to take it lightly. Zhao Lanxiang quickly finished the report of school suspension and submitted it.
It's just a pity that He Songbai couldn't accompany her to wait for delivery, so she had to go back to school honestly after school.
When the grandmother learned that her grandson was going to continue her studies, the granddaughter-in-law was waiting at home for delivery, afraid that she would not be taken care of, so she sent a telegram to persuade Zhao Lanxiang to return to the countryside.
She said in the telegram: "The countryside has beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers, which makes people look in a good mood. There are still people in the family who take care of it and look forward to returning."
Zhao Yongqing is struggling to start a business. His prosperous development still has to take care of her daughter's industry. Feng Lian's schoolwork is heavy, and she can't take care of her daughter. The couple sent the daughter back to the country as soon as they combined.
He Songbai returned to Hezitun with his wife, taking advantage of the days when he hadn't started school to stew her bone soup to drink for her.
He said guiltily: "Lanxiang, sorry. I will be back soon..."
Zhao Lanxiang said: "I have a big sister at home to take care of you, you can study with peace of mind, don't think so much."
He Songbai leaned down to apologize against her raised belly, "Tang Tang, Dad will be back soon."
Zhao Lanxiang looked at the figure of the man whose luggage was gradually disappearing, and his tears almost did not fall.
I have survived all the hardships, but I just want to cry at this time.
She held back her tears and turned back to the room to chat with her.
...
Five months old, and the days have entered the summer, Zhao Lanxiang's belly has begun to take shape.
When she meets her greedy, she will ask the elder sister to buy the ingredients back. She will help herself and cook to satisfy herself.When looking in the mirror, the slim figure of the past had disappeared, and the waist looked like a ball.Fortunately, she has a good attitude and is not surprised. She still strives to eat and raise Tang Tang in her belly very well.
But in the middle of the night, her legs and legs started to cramp, and she would complain about the disappearance of He Songbai, and she became increasingly dissatisfied.
One night, she numb her legs, and after rubbing hard for a few comforts, her tears rolled down without even realizing her.
She buried her face by the pillow, as if He Songbai was sleeping beside her.
Soon, a sound of the footsteps of Zuo Suo Suo sounded late at night, and a dark shadow quietly sneaked into her room.
Zhao Lanxiang was so shocked that her tears were all in her eyes, and she didn't even spin, her deep fear filled her heart.
Suddenly the light was turned on, and the person came to see her tears all over her face, shocked and guilty: "Lanxiang, why are you crying."
He carried a sweaty smell, and did not notice that he was terrified by his wife.
He wiped the tears on her face awkwardly and apologized constantly.
"Sorry, don't cry."
"I can stay at home to live with you, and I won't leave."
He suddenly realized that he was kneeling in front of her, wishing to slap himself in the face, "Did I just scare you?"
"The next time I walk, I make a noise. I'm afraid I'll wake you up, so I didn't say anything."
"I didn't even have the last train at night. I took someone's car and went back to the country. I think you will see me at first sight when you wake up tomorrow... Xiangxiang I'm sorry."
