Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 225 The Biggest Surprise
These days, rural stores have a wide variety of products. They have everything, and they have a bit of the flavor of small supermarkets in the future.

Generally, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the larger ones, or the slightly rarer and more complex ones, but there are some small shops in every village.Sell ​​some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, paper and pens, so that people can buy them at any time.

After all, many people in this era don't have bicycles, and people are scattered around, so it's still a bit inconvenient to go shopping in the town.

For example, it takes eight miles to go to town in Lijiacun. If you don't know how to ride a bicycle, no matter how fast you go, it will take several hours to go back and forth.

If you buy something heavy, it will take a lot of effort to carry it back.

Not to mention that many families are not living well, and it is difficult to afford a bicycle. Or a family may only have one bicycle at most, and it is difficult to arrange it.

It’s not like people in later generations thought, bicycles were quite cheap and could be bought at any time.

The store is right next to the brigade headquarters and is usually arranged like this. It is not far from home, so Li Muyang and Lin Xiuli walked there.

He was still a little regretful. If he could ride a bicycle, he could enjoy the romance of riding a bicycle with Lin Xiuli in the back.

But that’s okay. It’s good for two people to take a walk freely and chat together.

People these days are relatively conservative. Unlike later generations, people have been in free love for a long time before getting married.

Nowadays, many people basically have no contact before getting married. At most, they only have blind dates and two meetings when they get engaged.

Many people marry a wife and don't know what her real situation is like before officially marrying her home.

The woman thinks that the man also got some information from the matchmaker, and she doesn't know much about the man's character.

This also led to many misfortunes.

Once they get married, even if they find that the other party dislikes them in every aspect, few people completely separate due to cost and face.The days went by just like that, and as time went by, I gradually got used to it.

The two were walking side by side. Li Muyang looked at Lin Xiuli from time to time. She was about 1.7 meters tall.

Because he works for many years, he appears to be in particularly good health.

The skin is white, with a little bit of red in it, and a healthy complexion.

Her eyes are big, bright, and gentle.

A thick black braid hangs down from the side, making the whole person look particularly energetic.

Unlike later generations of girls who were ostentatious, girls of this era were simple yet lively.

"What did they ask you inside just now?" Lin Xiuli asked with a smile.

"I didn't ask anything. I just asked about things around my house and how our house was built. Anyway, I just said whatever they asked."

"Well, I know they are quite verbose about this, but you have to be able to understand it. As for the old man, and my relatives, they must also be thinking about me.

Ask more questions, don't find them annoying, and they won't be like this every time.I didn't expect you to come today, and they were not prepared. They were more curious about you, so they asked more questions. "

"I know, it's nothing. Just tell them whatever they ask. I have nothing to hide."

"Well, that's good. I'm worried that you will be annoyed by them. These things about family members are quite verbose anyway. Sometimes I don't want to hear what they say, but I can't help it. They are all my relatives. Even if I don't like it, it's okay. For my mother’s sake, I don’t care about them too much.”

"That's the truth. Fortunately, you came to call me and saved my life. Otherwise, I would have continued to stay in there. I don't know what to answer. I have already said all I need to say."

"Giggle," Lin Xiuli smiled, "Yeah, I knew you couldn't stay in there any longer. That's why I bought something, or I could come over alone and buy it, right?"

"Well, I know, I know you are considerate."

They both smiled again.

"How are you preparing over there? There are still more than two months left. Can the yard and house be ready? If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. I will tell my mother here that there is no rush to do it slowly in the future. .

Don't listen to what my sister-in-law said. They must have thought that I had prepared everything in the past and would save myself a lot of suffering.But as for life, everything is prepared, so what are we going to do?

Living life, living life, doesn’t it mean living with the things we don’t have? "

"You think so?" Li Muyang asked.

"Yeah, that's what I think. You look like you don't believe it."

"Ah, no."

Li Muyang shook his head and thought for a while. "Well, I'm just looking at other people's girls. Before coming to the door, I try to ask for as much bride price as possible from my husband's family. I always think that the husband's family has prepared everything. Why are you different from them?"

“Everyone is different, they are them and I am me.

As I said just now, I hope that the two of us can figure out a way to build a family together and work together to slowly build it. It's not like I suddenly marry into your family and everything is already there.

In that way, it seems that everything has nothing to do with me, I didn't create it, and I won't be happy using it. "

"Yeah. I think so too, but you know, you can't say such things to your women. If you do, your sister-in-law will definitely be kicked out on the spot."

"Haha, don't talk about her either. In fact, my sister-in-law is like that. Although she says she is fierce, she didn't live a good life after marrying my brother. You can also see the living conditions in our family. When we arrived, it was actually quite difficult, so we just made do with it.”

"Well, I can tell. But don't worry, if you marry me, Li Muyang, I won't let you live a bad life in the future.

I will try my best to make money and work hard so that my family will not only live a prosperous life, but also make you live a happy life without any worries. "

Lin Xiuli smiled and nodded.

"I don't know why, but I think everything you say is true. Do you think it's strange or not? Logically speaking, we haven't known each other very long, and our understanding is not very deep.

But every time you say something, I don't think about doubting it. I think about how you do it, how you can do it well, and what will happen after you do it well. I don't think about it at all. Say you don't do this, you're just teasing me.

Would you say it's magical? "

"Is it because I look more honest, so I'm trustworthy."

Lin Xiuli shook her head.

"I can't tell, but that's what it means anyway. But it doesn't matter. As long as you behave as you say.

Anyway, my idea is, if this can be done, then you should say it.If you can't do it well, we can do it together in the future, but if you can't do it, don't deceive me by saying you can do it.

If I knew, I would be sad.

And I have always felt that the most important thing in a life between two people is trust, right?

If the most basic trust is not there, then they may be on guard against each other, and life will be basically impossible. "Li Muyang nodded, looking at the pretty face of his wife beside him, feeling very comfortable.

Lin Xiuli's voice was very nice, and her tone was always gentle, without any anger or complaint. Whatever words came out of her mouth made Li Muyang feel like a spring breeze, very comfortable, and it seemed that he could never get enough of it.

"Okay, let's go a little faster. We're still waiting to use it at home. We'll be late when we get back and the dishes will be cold."

Because they kept talking, the speed of the two people was really not very fast.It was more than a mile, and it took me half a day to walk.

"Haha, okay, let's go quickly. I really want to talk to you for a while. There are so many people at home, so I won't have a chance."

Lin Xiuli's face turned red. She rubbed the corner of her clothes and said softly: "Why are you anxious? It's only been more than two months. When I get to your house, I will talk to you about whatever you want to say to me." . As long as when the time comes, you feel you have married me anyway, so you can just ignore me."

"How? Absolutely not."

Li Muyang immediately expressed his determination firmly.

"Anyway, it's too early for me to say anything now. When you come to our house, you will know that I will be very good to you, and I guarantee that I will treat my wife better than any other man in the world.

I will make sure you are as happy as you are now.

No matter when you think of marrying me, Li Muyang, you will not have any regrets, and you will still want to marry me even in the next life. "

This kind of words sounds a bit high-sounding, but Li Muyang said it many times in his heart, so he said it very skillfully.

I don't feel any embarrassment.

"You are so funny when you talk about the next life. We haven't even started this life yet. Let's live this life first. You said that this life is so long, and we don't know what is waiting for us later."

"Hey..." Li Muyang sighed.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

He thought of his hard life with Lin Xiuli, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh.

"What's wrong with you? You remembered something, why did you sigh suddenly?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just think that I can only live with you for the rest of my life, and I feel so sorry."

"I really don't know how to talk to you. Don't keep talking like this. You seem glib. This is not like you."

"Why, you think I'm glib, right? I didn't tell anyone else.

Moreover, what I said are all my true thoughts and true feelings. Are you telling you lies by letting me feel this way and then say I don’t?
Didn't you say that we can't tell lies and that husband and wife must trust each other? Why do you blame me when I tell the truth? "

Lin Xiuli couldn't do anything to him. Fortunately, the store arrived at this time. She ran into the store in a few steps and did not continue to answer Li Muyang's questions.

"Second Aunt, give me a bottle of soy sauce, another pack of MSG, and some saccharin for me."

"Okay, a bottle of soy sauce, a packet of MSG, and a small packet of saccharin. Wait... Hey, is this your partner?"

She is called Second Aunt, which is actually a customary name in the village. She is a middle-aged woman in her 40s.

She was just about to help Lin Xiuli get something when she saw Li Muyang coming in and standing next to Lin Xiuli. Her gossip soul was instantly awakened, and she didn't even bother to get the thing. She got to know Li Muyang first.

"Yes, that's right. It's my mother's birthday today. Come here and pay my respects to my mother."

"You're here today. That's really filial. The young man looks quite handsome. You are very lucky to be able to marry our Lili."

Li Muyang immediately put on a harmless smile and said gently: "Yes, Second Aunt, I know."

"Haha, Lili, listen to him and he knows.

Not bad, then live a good life from now on. You see, Lili has suffered so much since she was a child. If you marry someone back home, you can't be bullied any more, otherwise no one on our side will agree. "

"Second sister-in-law, hurry up and get the soy sauce for me. What are you talking about?"

Although the second aunt was speaking for her, Lin Xiuli felt that Li Muyang was still a little unhappy being scrutinized like this.

I thought to myself that I was always very gentle when talking to him, and I was very careful about what I should say and what I shouldn't say. You talked to him one by one, and you seemed to treat him like a prisoner.

How bad~
I didn’t say anything, what did you say one by one?

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you, just to see how anxious you are."

The two of them took the purchased things out of the store. Lin Xiuli said sheepishly: "Ah, don't mind too much. People in the village are like this. They like to say a few words when there is nothing wrong. Just ignore it, they also It’s not any great malice.”

"Of course I know that. If I get angry because of this, then what kind of farmer will I be doing day after day? I'll just blow up balloons for others."

"Hey. You're here again," Lin Xiuli pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, let's go back quickly. If we're later, we won't be able to make it."

Well, when the two of them went back, they were not much faster than when they came.

Although Lin Xiuli said she wanted to walk faster, in fact she also wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Li Muyang.

After all, they are not married now, and it is not that simple for two people to be together in an upright and honest manner.

So far, she is very satisfied with all Li Muyang's performances.

Whether it's talking, doing things, or dealing with people, being worldly is very good.

He's not the kind of dumb guy who doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

Lin Xiuli has a consciousness that ordinary rural girls do not have. Because she has read a lot of books, her thinking mode will be more open-minded and rational.

She knows very well that the less a person knows and the poorer his knowledge, the more he likes to be more truthful.

So why many times, people around me like to talk too much about others, it’s because they know too little.

I am more accustomed to thinking about some things with the little knowledge and experience I have. Occasionally I can get it right, but more often, I will be completely wrong.

Li Muyang's calmness and gentleness are not just a matter of good temper, but also because he knows some knowledge that other young men of this era do not.

She had tried it many times without thinking.

Although he said on the surface that he was actually uneducated, he actually chose the most suitable one without realizing it.

This was Lin Xiuli's biggest surprise.
