Second Marriage in the 1970s

Dong Jiahui was lying on the bed with a towel wrapped around her head.

Her face looked dry and thin, her cheeks were deep concave, her lips were white, and her eyes looked straight at the beams under the khaki roof, which was a little scary.

Chen Guixiang opened the door curtain and walked in with a bowl of egg soup. She saw the girl's eyes staring at the roof, and tears came again from her red eyes.

"You said why your girl is so disturbing, why don't you want to find life and death! If it weren't for your Uncle Niu Wang and the strong son, you would have died long ago, so how can you still lie here!"

Chen Guixiang felt pain and anger in her heart. She was accustomed to being pungent and could not soften her voice. Her tone was full of heartache.

Can't you be heartbroken? A good girl, marrying for 18 years, I thought she would have a smooth and peaceful life. Who knew that after three years of marrying, she was driven back by her husband’s family without warning. She didn’t want this because she had nothing to do for three years. Daughter-in-law.

This sudden news caused the entire Dong family to be struck by lightning. In these years, the rural people have solid eyes. As long as they are married, they will live a lifetime no matter how good they are.

A good eldest daughter of Huanghua became a rag after three years of marriage. The reason for the divorce was that she could not give birth to children. This is almost the same as the death penalty in rural areas where "more children, more blessings" and "many people are powerful". How to find someone!

But if you don’t have any hope, you can’t jump into the river to ponder. They say that it is better to die than to live. As long as you live, there is hope, right?

Chen Guixiang put the steaming egg soup on the cupboard next to the bed, and sat down and held her daughter's hand.

These hands were soft and tender before. When she was a girl at home, she felt sorry for her daughter. There are three sons in the family. The labor force is enough. The daughter is also helping with cooking and feeding chickens, mowing grass and watering vegetables, and doing simple tasks at home. It has only been three years since I was married, and the girl's hands have become so rough. One can imagine what life has been spent in Lu's house these three years.

Chen Guixiang regretted not discovering that the Lu family was wrong earlier, and regretted that she did not support her daughter earlier, which caused her to suffer for three years in vain.

That day, the girl came back with a burden on her back. Her eyes were red and swollen and her hair was scattered. She was only in her early twenties. She was supposed to be as brilliant as a flower, but she described it as haggard and lifeless.

She said that the Lu family didn't want her anymore, and the Lu family sent them back the next day.

The Dong family didn’t feel so angry. Dong Jiahui’s three brothers went to Xiaoling Village to find the Lu family to settle the accounts. However, the Lu family was also horrible, and directly claimed that Dong Jiahui had not been pregnant for three years after marriage and said that he was not filial. There are three, no queen is the greatest. Dong Jiahui has been married for three years and has nothing to do. Even in ancient times, she was abandoned.

"Don't make trouble in Xiaoling Village because of the crowds of your Dong family, so who would dare to marry your Dong family daughter in the future? Even if you can't give birth to a child, you have to be reconciled after the family is extinct!"

This not only embarrassed the village cadres in the two villages, but also let the Dong family die.

Strictly speaking, what the Lu family said is not unreasonable. After all, Lu Chengyuan is the only male in the Lu family. Although it is not very authentic to drive back his wife who has been married for three years, the inheritance of incense is ethical to the rural people. The most important thing is that if you don’t give birth to a child, the Lu family will die. If so, who will throw a pot for you and who will burn paper for you after a hundred years?

"Who said that it must be Jiahui's problem not having a baby? Maybe you will be able to give birth in two years, Lu Chengyuan, you are still not a man, and you can't even protect your own daughter-in-law!"

Lu Chengyuan's face was red, hiding in the corner without speaking, his mother, Dong Jiahui's ex-grandmother, sipped her arms on her hips.

"Bah, our Lu family is considered benevolent and righteous. If it weren’t for your Dong family girl, my family’s Chengyuan would have wasted three years? NS."

Mrs. Lu was horrible, and the people in Xiaoling Village followed and pointed. The Dong family brothers couldn't hold their faces, and their dark faces pulled Dong Jiahui's dowry home. At this point, the family of Dong and Lu had completely broken up.

The two got married and didn't get a marriage certificate, so naturally there is no need to apply for a divorce certificate at this time.

This matter spread to several surrounding villages. Those who were kind to Dong Jiahui sighed for a while, lamenting her difficulty in the future, and those who were uneasy and kind began to ridicule and sarcasm behind them.

We must know that when Dong Jiahui married into Lu's family, everyone envied her good life. Her father-in-law was the secretary of the brigade, and there were no wives to follow. When the Lu family's old couple returned to heaven for a hundred years, wouldn't the Lu family's property belong to their young couple?

The Lu family has only one son. As long as they can add a son and a half to the Lu family, the Lu family can provide her as a mother, but this is the case. Dong Jiahui, whom everyone envied at the time, suddenly became a child Abandoned wives out of children.

It is a fact that she did not give birth to a child. Even though she felt a little short of breath, the family of Dong went home after a disturbance. Because of this, her family was very careful with Dong Jiahui.

Brother needn't say, since she was a child, she has always loved her. No matter what she thought in her heart, several sister-in-laws didn't say anything unpleasant in front of her anyway.

But my family didn’t say anything but couldn’t control others’ mouths. No, the daughter-in-law of the neighbor’s third aunt’s wife said something unpleasant when she hurried to the door with her child. The Tongzhou River is connected to the river, if it weren't for someone happened to be rescued, it would have been washed into the river by the water.

In March, the river was still quite cold. Although the people were rescued, they developed a high fever and burned for one day and night. In the end, the barefoot doctor in the village took half of the wild ginseng dug up from the mountain and boiled the ginseng soup. , This fever followed.

"Jiahui, listen to my mother's advice, stop being horny, you're still young, only twenty-one years old, at the same age, not having a child is not necessarily your problem, you also see the wife of the Zhang family in Qiancun Later, after six years of marriage, I held my first baby, and after that, one after another, this is the fifth one."

At this time, the level of medical care is limited. Unlike in the future, B-ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound can do all kinds of examinations. According to the old thinking of rural people, it is the woman's fault as long as it does not give birth to a child.

But giving birth to a child really depends on luck. Some people get pregnant as soon as they get married, some people can’t bear it, and there are other strange things that can’t give birth to a man and get pregnant with another husband. Chen Guixiang doesn’t believe in herself anyway. A girl really can't give birth to a baby.

"This Lu family was a miserable mother. I thought Lu Chengyuan was a good one. Who knows that he is a soft second rake. You can **** listen to everything. In the end, it's your mother who harmed you. You raise your body first. After a while, I will find your sixth aunt. She is a well-known matchmaker. She has made up a lot of good marriages in her life. She knows all the young guys from all over the world. Your sixth aunt loves you a little bit. I will find you a good one."

Dong Jiahui will have a headache, and her body is soft and unable to lift energy. The original owner jumped into the river and hung up, and then she came. After waking up, she had been sorting out the memory left by the original owner, knowing that the original owner had nothing to do after three years of marriage. Abandoned by the man's family.

Hey, why do you have such an identity? It's okay to dress as a big girl.

It’s no wonder that the original owner couldn’t think about jumping in the river. In the 1970s, divorce was definitely considered a scandal. She was a kind-hearted girl, with a soft personality, a bit resigned, and she was called and drunk by her mother-in-law at her in-law’s house. After giving birth to a child, the Lu family simply looked down upon her.

The original protagonist was too soft and had a bad life in her husband's house. She didn't dare to say anything when she returned to her parents' house.

Sometimes the phrase "the poor must have their pitifulness" is very reasonable. People are bullying and fearing hardships. However, where the original owner behaves a little better in her husband's house, her mother-in-law may not dare to treat her like this.

After the divorce, the original owner was already very painful. Her character was so bad and unhappy that she was bored in her heart. Originally, she could not think about it. Once she was stimulated by the outside world, she acted suicide, and she felt that she was unhappy. Can be in love.

Let her say that there is really no need to jump into the river for such a mess. Divorce is nothing. In the 21st century, divorce is not a problem, but the original owner has the pain of the original owner. She is not a party, and she definitely cannot feel the same.

"Come on, drink this egg soup, I specially added two drops of sesame oil, it smells good."

It’s 75 years now. Although it’s been over, the life in the countryside is not easy. Every household has to earn work points. There is not much leftover except for food and drink. This little sesame oil is still squeezed during the Chinese New Year. The three daughters-in-law of the Dong family take turns. To give birth to a baby, sesame oil, brown sugar, and eggs, Chen Guixiang was only willing to use it when a few wives were in confinement.

Dong Jiahui had no strength on her body, and her stomach was groaning with hunger a long time ago. This bowl of egg soup was scented from the moment she entered the house, and she was already greedy.

Hey, all of a sudden in the 1970s when there was a shortage of food and clothing, who else would eat something like egg soup in the 21st world? Dong Jiahui missed those modern delicacies very much.

But a thinking person shouldn't starve to death because of a bowl of egg soup, and she feels uncomfortable even now.

As Chen Guixiang watched her daughter drank the bowl of egg soup, she finally felt relieved, as long as she had something to eat, she was relieved.

Seeing that my daughter is so skinny, there is no meat on her face, and her hands are skinny. She is distressed. She looks at her affectionately and says, "Look, you are thin, and there are some white noodles at home. I remember that you loved to eat green onion pancakes when you were a kid. I will do it for you alone."

Scallion pancakes are easy to make, that is, put the flour and water into a paste, heat the pan with a layer of oil to heat, pour the flour into the pan along the edge of the pan, use a spatula to spread the batter evenly, and wait until the batter is half. Sprinkle with chopped green onion after being dried. When the green onion is heated, it will give off a tangy green onion fragrance. This is a rare and easy-to-operate delicacy in rural areas.

This scallion pancake is best made with white flour. The cornmeal is also delicious but not as soft as white flour. It is said to be delicious, but it is actually a bitter rural life. There is nothing else delicious.

Dong Jiahui received the memory of the original owner, knowing that this year, every household was squeezed in food and clothing. White noodles were only eaten during Chinese New Year. The original owner's family had three sisters-in-laws, five nephews and one niece. How could she be embarrassed to eat alone.

"Mom, you don't have to make it alone for me, I just have to eat with everyone."

When Chen Guixiang heard this, tears fell again.

"It’s all because I taught you so honestly since I was a child. I always tell you that a family should value harmony. After you marry, you must know how to be filial to your in-laws. My mother's fault."

When Chen Guixiang said so, Dong Jiahui's tears did not consciously shed, and it should be the feelings left behind by the original owner.
