That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 313 Straighten your back

Li Yue drove the Volga on National Highway 104, nimbly avoiding potholes on the road and as light as a fish dancing happily in the waves.

Going home this year, Li Ye and Li Yue did not take the train.

Because Wang Jianqiang's mother sent him two telegrams, saying that she had arranged a marriage for him and asked him to go home and get married years ago, Wang Jianqiang confessed to his family that he was "freely in love" with a girl from Beijing.

There was an uproar at home. Wang Jianqiang's wife went to the post office and made the first phone call in her life, blaming Wang Jianqiang for taking matters into his own hands. It was his parents who still had the final say in marriage matters.

But Wang Jianqiang also contradicted his mother for the first time in his life, and firmly refuted his mother Fan Chunhua based on the national law. The two of them were very unhappy.

In the end, Wang Daguang, Wang Jianqiang's father, made the decision and asked Wang Jianqiang to take the girl home to see her.

Wang Qiangqiang was very confused. He and Huang Suwen were not yet married, but they were suddenly sent thousands of miles away. Can his parents feel relieved?

But after Wang Jianqiang told Huang Suwen anxiously, the Huang family's mother and daughter readily agreed.

Huang Suwen said: "You have come to my house so many times to let my parents see it. Isn't it normal for me to go to your house and show it to your parents?"

Huang Suwen's parents had only one request, that is, Huang Suwen must return to the capital years ago and must not be confused or ashamed.

After Wang Jianqiang told Li Ye, Li Ye gave Wang Jianqiang advice and invited Huang Suwen's brother Huang Gang to go back to Qingshui County with him, so that at least the neighbors would stop gossiping.

In addition, everyone drove home together. Wang Jianqiang could have driven the Huang brothers and sisters back to the capital a year ago.

So Li Ye, Li Yue, Wang Jianqiang and the Huang brothers and sisters filled a Volga, and together with the 130 small trucks from Pengcheng No. Factory, they left the capital and returned to Dongshan.

After her sister Li Yue arrived in the capital, she also became very familiar with Wang Jianqiang, her girlfriend, so the two of them chatted all the way in the car without getting bored.

"Sister Xiaoyue, is your hometown a thousand miles away from the capital?"

"Looking at more than 400 kilometers from the map, that's about 800-900 miles! We can drive there in more than ten hours, and it's almost the same by train, but it's not as convenient as driving."

"That's not far away! Qiangzi can also drive. It will be quick to visit his hometown in the future."

"Hehe, sister Suwen, are you worried about whether Qiangzi will settle in the capital in the future?"

"I do have that idea, but it's not necessarily true," Huang Suwen did not hide it, but said calmly: "I think it is best for Qiang to settle down in the capital, but I also have to take into account his thoughts. I can't live in a home by myself. You have the final say, right?"

"Did you see that, Qiangzi? The Huang family girls respect you very much!"

Li Yue made fun of Wang Jianqiang, and then said to Huang Suwen with a smile: "Sister Suwen, there are some things I can't say to you, but just remember my words, Qiangzi is the backbone of his family, you must You have to straighten your waist!"

"Is your waist straight?" Huang Suwen, who has always been cheerful, was a little confused, "Sister Xiaoyue, what do you mean by this?"

While driving, Li Yue pointed behind him and said, "Ask your family for their strength!"

Huang Suwen turned to the left and looked at Wang Jianqiang sitting on the other side.

Wang Qiangqiang smiled awkwardly, pondered for a few seconds and then said: "What Sister Xiaoyue means is that you don't wrong yourself."

Huang Suwen blinked and couldn't help laughing: "What you said is really strange. Am I the one who wronged me?"

Li Ye and Li Yue, who were sitting in the front row, both pursed their lips and snickered.

Wang Jianqiang stared at Huang Suwen blankly for a few seconds, and then smiled honestly.

Doesn't Huang Suwen feel wronged?

Wang Jianqiang doesn’t think so.

Li Ye said something to Li Dayong, and Wang Jianqiang happened to hear it on the side.

That sentence says: "When two people are together, if one person feels loved, then the other person must be willing to bear the grievance."

So Wang Jianqiang fell in love with Huang Suwen at the moment when Huang had just entered the hospital and Huang Suwen rode his bicycle and rushed to the hospital with his mother.

At that time, Huang Suwen looked at her brother, and the heart-wrenching pain in her eyes immediately moved Wang Jianqiang.

Even though Wang Qiangqiang is a tough guy, he still hopes to have someone to love and care for him when he is injured!

Later, Huang Suwen treated Wang Jianqiang just like he did to his brother. During the winter, he did laundry, delivered meals, and asked about welfare. Even though his hands were cracked by the cold, he knitted two pairs of gloves for Wang Jianqiang.

Do you think this kind of girl will not wrong herself?

[Is she a fool? Is she stronger and stupider than my king? 】

. . . . . . . .

The capital is less than 83 kilometers away from Qingshui County. If the road conditions were the same in later generations, five hours would be too slow for passengers, but according to the road conditions in , more than ten hours would be considered smooth.

Li Ye and others set off from the capital early in the morning and arrived in Qingshui County at seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Li Ye asked Wang Jianqiang: "Qiangzi, should we have dinner first, and then arrange for Brother Huang Gang and Sister Su Wen to stay in the hotel, and then go over and identify themselves tomorrow?"

Wang Qiangqiang thought for a while and said: "Brother, I sent a telegram in advance to tell my family that I would arrive home today. It's not even eight o'clock yet. My mother should be waiting for us to eat!"

Li Ye nodded: "That's okay."

Li Yue drove to the west of the county and stopped at the entrance of an alley.

130, who had been following behind, also stopped. Wang Qiangdong and several veterans helped unload some New Year's goods from the cart. This is the tradition of flower growers. During the New Year, you can’t just share money, but also give some meaty gifts that people can see. Then the mother-in-law of the family can hold her head high and speak up among relatives and friends. Otherwise, others will not believe how much you have done this year. good.

Wang Qiangdong smiled and asked Wang Jianqiang: "Qiangzi, can I help you get it in?"

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly said: "There aren't many things, so I took them in myself. You guys should go home quickly! Who doesn't want to go home!"

"Okay, I'll go then. Let me know when I get back and I'll be your companion on the way."

Wang Qiangdong didn't hesitate, got in the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Everyone has been away for more than half a year, and they are indeed homesick for their families.

Li Ye also wanted to drive, but was pulled back by his sister Li Yue.

She pursed her lips towards Wang Jianqiang: "Help Qiangzi move the New Year's goods in, or else you will let the guests move it?"

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly said: "No need, brother, I can do it myself, just move it twice."

Li Ye looked at his sister, then at Wang Jianqiang, smiled, picked up a sack containing hairtail, and led the way in.

"Come on, Qiangzi, let's see what delicious food my aunt has cooked for you."

Sister Li Yue followed with a smile.

Li Yue has a somewhat arrogant temper, but he is actually very kind at heart.

She asked Li Ye to help move things in. In fact, she wanted Li Ye to go in and create a scene for the town.

When a girl from the capital visits her husband's house for the first time, if there is some bad etiquette, shouldn't there be someone to smooth things over?

"Mom, I'm back."

Before anyone could reach the door of Wang's house, Wang Jianqiang shouted, his voice loud and confident, as if he was deliberately letting all the neighbors hear him.

Of course, it is human nature for a young man who has traveled abroad to return home in fine clothes and bring back a beautiful daughter-in-law, shouting loudly to show off.

"Hey, Third Brother, why are you back at this time?"

There was movement in the Wang family yard immediately. Fan Chunhua came out of the house and said in surprise: "We waited for a long time and didn't see you. We thought you didn't catch the train!"

Wang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment and said: "Didn't I say that when I sent the telegram? Drive back!"

Usually, when I take a train back from the capital, I usually arrive in Qingshui County in the afternoon. If I drive, I will naturally arrive home at a different time.

"Look at you kid, you haven't made it clear yet."

Fan Chunhua hurriedly took two steps out, looked at Huang Suwen behind Wang Jianqiang and said, "Is this the girl you're talking about, third child? Please let someone come in to warm her up. It's very ignorant to let people run so far in the twelfth lunar month of winter."

Aren't you going to ask the girl to come back and have a look?

Wang Jianqiang was in a daze, but Huang Suwen said with a smile: "It's okay, ma'am, it's not far, and it's not cold on the road."

"How can it not be cold? Come in, come in, come in,"

Fan Chunhua pulled Huang Suwen into the house and said: "We are a small place here, and the conditions are not as good as those in the capital. You will suffer with the third child of my family.

But if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog, you will get used to it after living there for a few months, and the days will still be long."

Huang Suwen didn't know much about the authentic Dongshan dialect, so he could only smile and let Fan Chunhua take her arm into the house.

Huang Gang, who was lagging behind, was looking around from the beginning.

Huang Gang was considered a smart person on the street in the capital. His mother asked him to accompany his sister, so she naturally wanted to find out about her future son-in-law's family situation.

The houses in Wang Jianqiang's family are both new and old. Among them, the three tile-roofed houses on the right are newly built, and the three square ones are still old houses.

There was smoke rising from both chimneys, and it was clear that the heating conditions at home were okay.

There was a big dog lying in the kennel at the gate, gnawing bones.

Huang Gang nodded slightly. Various conditions showed that Wang Jianqiang's parents were doing well.

Don't think that all people in the capital are rich men. The winter is not without hardships. Even in the large courtyard where Huang Gang's family lives, the conditions may not be as good as those of Wang Jianqiang's family!

But when Fan Chunhua said, "I'm used to living here, and the days are still going on," Huang Gang immediately frowned.

Why do you think this old woman wants her sister to marry from the capital to Qingshui County?

However, Li Ye, who was following behind, stepped forward and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. In the future, your sister may follow Qiangzi and settle in the capital, maybe go to Pengcheng, or even live in Hong Kong Island, but it is impossible to come to Qingshui County."

"Hong Kong Island?"

Huang Gang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's too far, it's better to stay in the capital."

Li Ye smiled without saying anything, opened the door curtain and led Huang Gang in.

After entering the main room, I realized that many people came to Wang Jianqiang's house today, some of whom looked familiar to Li Ye, and some of whom he didn't recognize at all.

But judging from the red faces of some of the men, they probably have good relations with the Wang family.

If the relationship is not good, how can you drink like this?
