Chapter 30 Too sweet

Author: Wei Mo Chu

Marry the river god?

Nan Qingqing became interested.

As soon as grandma finished asking, Lin Qiuping nodded sharply.

"That's not the problem."

Nan Qingqing had only seen the idea of ​​marrying the river god in some film and television materials in her previous life, but this was the first time she had encountered it in reality.

"To marry the river god means throwing the bride into the river and drowning?"

Naturally, Nan Qingqing could not get a definite answer to her doubts.

"How is it possible? To marry the River God, you choose a sterile woman to soak in the river for a day. When she comes back, she may be pregnant with a child, and the child she gives birth to is a gift from the River God!"

After Lin Qiuping finished speaking, Nan Qingqing looked stunned.

Grandma nodded along.

"That's what happened."

Nan Qingqing:......

Learned a lot!

Where is the river god like this?

"Then why is Sister Zhuangzhuang crying?"

If it were just a custom, soaking in water would be excessive, but it would be understandable.

Who knew Nan Qingqing's rhetorical question, Lin Qiuping waved her hand: "She's not crying in the water, she's crying about being divorced!"

Nan Qingqing then remembered that Lin Qiuping had just said that Sister Zhuangzhuang was divorced.

She married the River God, which can explain why Sister Zhuangzhuang cried.

They are all divorced. If there is no man, what is the use of marrying the river god?

The key is another question: "Isn't this feudal superstition? How is it allowed?"

Lin Qiuping slapped her thigh: "That's what I'm talking about. When we educated youth heard about this, we told the village cadres that we couldn't engage in feudal superstition. But people said that this was a rule left over from this place for thousands of years. Let us

Don’t mess around if you don’t understand!”

She saw that Nan Qingqing had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter: "Someone is going to go to the commune to ask, and they must stop this from happening!"

Lin Qiuping lowered her voice: "The one who caused the most trouble was Hu Chunsheng!"

Nan Qingqing:......

She doesn't understand. What's so fussy about Hu Chunsheng?

What does it have to do with him?

Even grandma can't figure it out.

Although their place is remote, it is generally difficult for people to come from the outside. Even among these educated youths, most of them have not caused much trouble. The incident between Nan Jiaojiao and Hu Chunsheng not long ago broke the tranquility of Taohua Village.

The surrounding villages are not close to each other, and marrying the river god has never been a matter of one village. Sister Zhuangzhuang's problem is obviously a big one.

"But this matter has nothing to do with us, it's better not to make a fuss!"

Lin Qiuping saw that Nan Qingqing was not very excited, but she was not disappointed.

She had a gossipy look on her face, "I just saw that Zhuangzhuang's father and mother disliked their daughter's divorce and insisted on letting her marry an old bachelor in the village!"

Nan Qingqing knew that there were several old bachelors in the village, but none of them were good.

These days, you can get a wife with just a little food, but there are still leftovers. You can imagine what kind of existence it is like.

Grandma sighed: "That's ruined, this girl won't survive!"

Nan Qingqing wondered what this meant, and heard a lot of noise and people running by outside. Lin Qiuping put down her bowl and went to watch the excitement.

Grandma shook her head helplessly: "This kid really likes to join in the fun!"

Nan Qingqing didn't follow her out because she didn't like to join in the fun, and she thought it would be unkind to leave her grandma behind to watch the fun.

"No matter what, Hu Zhiqing did a good thing!"

Grandma's words reminded Nan Qingqing that Hu Chunsheng, as the male protagonist in the book, has always been unfaithful and would not be merciful when he was able to take advantage of Nan Jiaojiao. Why did he marry a river god this time?

, just take action?

Things are not that simple.

"Grandma, let me go out for a moment!"

Nan Qingqing told her grandma that she would go out to confirm.

Grandma asked her to be careful and not to show up randomly.

But as soon as Nan Qingqing stepped out of the kitchen, she ran into Jiang Beiting.

Jiang Beiting grabbed her shoulders and stabilized her, "What are you doing in a hurry?"

Jiang Beiting was holding a stack of red paper and a brush in his hand, and he seemed to be writing something.

Nan Qingqing was instantly attracted to the red paper, "Do you want to write a couplet?"

Jiang Beiting nodded: "Although there is no banquet, you still need to tell the people in the village when you receive the certificate, and you still need to post the couplet on the door!"

Nan Qingqing didn't understand this rule, so she agreed to whatever they said.

Jiang Beiting put the red paper behind him and continued the topic. Nan Qingqing couldn't hide, so she expressed her suspicion: "I think Hu Chunsheng must have something planned!"

Jiang Beiting thought of a small incident in his previous life. After Hu Chunsheng returned to the city, he picked up a woman to work as a nanny in the city, and that person was Zhuang Zhuang's sister.

In the memory of his previous life, Hu Chunsheng was very kind to Sister Zhuangzhuang and said that he took good care of the villagers when he jumped in line, but Jiang Beiting knew that it was definitely not the case.

Now that I think about it, there must be something going on.

Nan Qingqing stared at Jiang Beiting, wondering why he was deep in thought.

She pulled out the red paper with her hands behind her back, but unexpectedly the red paper faded, turning her fingers red all of a sudden.

Rubbing it with fingers, the red color on it became even bigger.

When Jiang Beiting wasn't paying attention, she painted red on the back of Jiang Beiting's hand.

He also thought that he had done a very good job and laughed secretly on the sidelines.

Jiang Beiting was just thinking about something, and it was not that he couldn't feel what was happening at all. The reason why he didn't stop it was because he thought it was unnecessary.

When Nan Qingqing continued to act mischievously, Jiang Beiting pinched Nan Qingqing's cheek.

"Then go ahead!"

He just squeezed it, then let go, and asked Nan Qingqing to go out in a very considerate manner.

Nan Qingqing touched the cheek that had been pinched by Jiang Beiting, and without thinking much, jumped after Lin Qiuping.

Jiang Beiting, on the other hand, stood there until he could no longer see Nan Qingqing's back before going to the kitchen.

Grandma had already harvested almost all the fried soybean skins, and instead of continuing to cook the remaining soybean milk, she let Jiang Beiting drink it.

She held the red paper and said with a smile: "Getting married should look like a wedding. If you don't have a banquet, it's almost meaningless!"

Jiang Beiting hummed: "When the conditions are better, we can apply again!"

Grandma nodded: "That's how it should be, so as not to wrong the child!"

Grandma, who is already presbyopic, will come to the yard and start folding red paper, preparing to cut out some festive patterns and paste them at home.

As for Nan Qingqing, she ran outside and soon found Lin Qiuping who was watching the excitement.

Lin Qiuping covered her mouth and laughed when she saw her.

There were several younger daughters-in-law beside her who also laughed. There was a cheerful older girl who pinched Nan Qingqing's face and said, "What is Nan Qingqing doing? Are you singing a big show?"

Nan Qingqing was confused and didn't understand what the teasing looks in their eyes meant.

After Lin Qiuping had laughed enough, she reminded her in a low voice that there was something on her cheek, and even handed her a small mirror.

Nan Qingqing saw the blush on her cheeks in the mirror and didn't know what was going on.

He stomped his feet to go back and trouble Jiang Beiting. As soon as he raised his feet, he met the gaze of Sister Zhuangzhuang, and there was a kind of hatred in her eyes.

Nan Qingqing retracted her feet and looked at her.
