"knew!"

When the two and a half-year-old children came out of the house, they were like wild horses that had escaped the reins and could no longer be tethered. They ran happily towards the entrance of the village.

"Be careful on the road, don't fall!"

Teacher Bai stood in the courtyard, stood on tiptoes, raised his head, looked at the direction his daughter was leaving, and shouted loudly.

"knew!"

Mai Miao's voice became smaller and smaller, her words filled with happiness that could not be concealed.

When Teacher Bai saw his daughter and Debao disappear around the corner, he withdrew his gaze, smiled on his face, shook his head gently, and murmured with emotion, "This child!"

But then he thought about the news that had just come out in the village two days ago that a coal woman came to Shuihua's house and that a man named An Yongfu from Kushui Village proposed marriage to Li Laoshuan and wanted to marry Shuihua.

In her heart, she couldn't help but secretly wonder: Could it be that Shui Hua didn't have a relationship with the man named An Yongfu, but instead had a relationship with Wang Zhong?

Unfortunately, these are all teacher Bai's own guesses, and at this time, another figure appeared in Teacher Bai's mind. It was no one else, but Debao's eldest brother, who was once his childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart, Ma Defu.

Why!

"That's it! That's it! Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

In the past, Teacher Bai could still have done a good job in it. After all, Ma Defu is now a student in an agricultural school. After graduation, he can be directly assigned to work in a government unit. His future is much brighter than that of a teacher from a small village like him, and it is also better than that of a teacher from a small village like him.

Then the settlement in Kushui Village has more prospects.

But thinking of Wang Zhong, Teacher Bai couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with this boy, Ma Defu, who was originally excellent, seemed a bit mediocre.

Teacher Bai didn't have much contact with Wang Zhong, and he didn't know much about them. However, these few contacts made Teacher Bai feel deeply.

Digging kilns to bake bricks, making tiles to build houses, these are nothing. What really surprised Teacher Bai was the depth and cultivation Wang Zhong revealed when chatting with Wang Zhong, as well as his accomplishments and accumulation in literature.

Not only that, Wang Chong can talk about fields and farming with the farmers in the village, but he can also talk about education and literature with himself. In the county, he can even talk about cooperation and business with those businessmen who are unprofitable and can't afford to start early.

The folks in the village are looking for a way out and planning for the future.

Moreover, Wang Zhong is a descendant of martyrs and has been a soldier himself. It may be difficult for others to change careers, but Wang Zhong, Teacher Bai sighed, is such a capable and capable young man who can repay his fellow villagers and elders like Ma Defu.

Even though a kid who grew up in a poor mountain village has been admitted to an agricultural school, he is still somewhat inferior.

Whatever! Whatever!

Teacher Bai sighed and murmured helplessly, "My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I think so much, but what's the use?"

In Teacher Bai's heart, every student he has ever taught is no different from his child.

At the entrance of the village, Wang Zhong was holding a bicycle, Shui Hua was holding a basket, and wearing a scarf, they were standing by the low wall.

Debao and Shuihua came running all the way. When they saw the two of them from a distance, they couldn't help but wave and say hello happily.

"Brother Wang Zhong!"

"Sister Shuihua!"

The two excited people ran in front of them. Wang Zhong kicked the bicycle's stand back and said hello, and the four of them ran towards the county seat together.

As the New Year approaches, many people in the village also go to the city to buy things one after another. Those whose families are in a better situation, cut up more than ten or twenty kilograms of mutton and buy a few bags of flour. Those whose families are in a worse situation are also gritting their teeth.

Cut a few kilograms of mutton, buy some white flour, and prepare to make some dumplings for the Chinese New Year.

Although the snow was not thick, it still had some impact on everyone's journey. The journey that originally took less than two hours actually took two and a half hours to arrive.

In the county town, the New Year atmosphere is even stronger on the streets. There are stalls hanging with couplets and lanterns everywhere, and the flow of people on the streets is much larger than usual.

The four of us didn't have much to eat in the morning, and they were all hungry after working on the road for so long.

Wang Zhong found a noodle shop and ordered five kilograms of noodles, a plate of fried mutton with green onions, half a stir-fried chicken, and four or five heads of garlic. Debao and Mai Miao immediately turned into gluttons, devouring the noodles, eating the mutton, and stir-fried the noodles.

chicken.

After I was full, I asked for a few more bowls of free noodle soup.

When they came out of the noodle shop, Debao and Shuihua held their bloated stomachs and burped a few times from time to time. This was because they were full.

Shui Hua was a little restrained at first, but looking at the three people feasting, she was quite full in the end.

"Brother Wang Chong, where are we going?"

"Go buy some clothes for your sister Shuihua first!"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Sister Shuihua immediately refused, "No, I have clothes!"

Wang Zhong looked at her and said gently but domineeringly, "Listen to me today!"

Shui Hua felt her heart tremble, and then she was pulled by Mai Miao and went straight to the clothing store.

But after entering the clothing store and asking about the price, Shui Hua shook her head repeatedly and refused to take anything, and her attitude was still very determined.

Wang Zhong knew that Shui Hua really didn't want it and felt it was a waste of money. He felt helpless. Shui Hua had been frugal since she was a child. Even if he did buy it, she would definitely not be able to bear to wear it, so he complied with Shui Hua's wishes.

I ran to the market with Shui Hua and watched Shui Hua bargaining with the bosses and bought cotton cloth, cotton, several large balls of wool, and shoe soles.

Especially the soles, size 44, Wang Zhong’s size.

Then he went to buy a lot of dried longans, red dates, wolfberries, two slaughtered sheep from the market, and a lot of other miscellaneous things, filling the two large boxes that Wang Zhong brought with him.

As for Debao and Maimiao, Wang Zhong gave each of them a new pair of Jiefang shoes.

The two little guys were very happy as if they had found a treasure.

Two days later, Wang Zhong, under the leadership of the old party secretary, brought the two sheep he bought as well as dried longans, red dates and other dried fruits, as well as ten live chickens that Wang Zhong bought one after another, two hundred

I loaded up a cart full of flour and took it to Shuihua's house to formally propose marriage to Shuihua.

As soon as this news came out, it caused quite a stir in the entire Yongquan Village.

No one thought that Wang Zhong would actually fall in love with Shui Hua.

The old party secretary and Li Laoshuan came together. The old party secretary wanted to postpone their marriage until after the new year, so as to free up more time for preparations, but Li Laoshuan insisted on hurrying up.

The battle must be decided quickly, and it is best to be done years ago.

Finally, he asked Wang Zhong and Shui Hua for their opinions, and Shui Hua said that she listened to Li Laoshuan. The father-in-law insisted, and Wang Zhong had no objection, so the matter was settled.

The date was set on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Wang Zhong set up a banquet, invited the whole village to have a meal, and served tea to Li Laoshuan, and the matter was settled.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhong got on his bicycle, carrying Shuihua, and headed straight for the county Civil Affairs Bureau.

After paying the cost of the work, taking photos, swearing an oath, and stamping, the relationship between the two was officially settled.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ma Huashui helped organize the meeting. As for the old branch secretary, Wang Zhong invited him to be his chief quilt, and he followed Li Laoshuan to accept tea from the two of them.

Etiquette is also very simple, even worshiping heaven and earth is omitted, the main thing is to toast, and the couple toasts at the table.

A total of twelve tables were set up, with more than a dozen people at each table. People from the entire Yongquan Village were here. They were crowded, and the dishes were simple. One table had a pot of mutton stewed with potatoes, a pot of cabbage, and a pot of white noodles and noodles.

There are two kinds of steamed buns made of cornmeal, and on the men's tables, there are also two bottles of white wine on each table, both in one pound bottles.

When they arrived at the penultimate table, as soon as Wang Zhong and Shui Hua walked to the edge, Ma Defu stood up, looked at the two people with smiles on their faces, took a deep breath, showed a somewhat forced smile on his face, and picked up the

He held the wine bowl and said to the two of them, "Brother Wang Zhong, Shuihua, congratulations!"

"I wish you will always be united, have a happy marriage for a hundred years, and have a son soon!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank a bowl of wine.

Wang Zhong gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Okay! Brother Defu is a good drinker!" As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and poured a full bowl. "Brother Defu, thank you for your blessing. I won't say anything else.

, all in the wine, dried up!"

As he spoke, Wang Zhong started drinking, drinking the entire bowl of wine without spilling a drop.

"Drink less! Are you saying that drinking too much wine is harmful to your health!" Shui Hua tugged on Wang Zhong's sleeves and warned in a worried voice. Wang Zhong had already drank almost a pound when he came all the way.

Wang Zhong, however, remained calm and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart. Today is our wedding day. It's only this time in our lives. It doesn't matter if you drink more."

Seeing this scene, the look in Ma Defu's eyes quickly dimmed a bit.

After the guests were sent away, everyone helped clean up the mess and returned the tables, chairs and benches brought by each family. The old party secretary patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder and glanced at the two of them, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Treat Splash well from now on!"

"Uncle, don't worry!" Wang Zhong solemnly assured the old party secretary.

He sent the old party secretary to the door, watched the old party secretary leave, closed the fence door, and the sky gradually became dark.

"Are you hungry?" Shui Hua looked at Wang Zhong and asked with concern.

Wang Jian nodded, "You must be hungry too!"

At the end of the day, the two of them just went about greeting the folks, and they didn't eat much at all.

"I just went to check. There is still some mutton stewed with potatoes in the pot, and there is also a drawer of steamed buns."
