Chapter 54 Love is Beautiful
In fact, in the end, Jing Jian was still confused. He smiled and asked without shame: "Uncle, my father-in-law can't make up any waves even if he only has a few acres of land and a few broken houses in my family? Why do you think of my brother-in-law's cowardly appearance, as if he had dug up my ancestral grave? What happened?"
"Ah?" Liu Xiangdong was very surprised. "I thought you knew it. I was so pretty just now? But this matter...hey! Listen first! Let's talk about your private land and homestead..."
After listening to this passage, Jing Jian's face was completely dark. However, seeing that Liu Xiangdong seemed to have some more words, he caught fire: "Uncle, continue."
"Before talking about this, I'll give you a reminder. This matter is not OK without the village's consent! That's your father-in-law making a fool of himself."
"It's okay, you said."
"Ahem. That day your three brothers beat gongs and drums, and the whole village was shouting that you and Xiaoxia were broken and you were going to have a divorce."
“…”
Jing Jian was completely speechless. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and thought of a question: "Is this what Xiaoxia means?"
"It shouldn't be." Liu Xiangdong shook his head, but he didn't dare to say anything. "Only the Zhao family knows the details inside, and outsiders are all guessing."
Jing Jian thought about it and felt that this matter was not that serious. It was nothing more than the original downplaying breakup, which turned into the current public breakup. Anyway, there was no need to think about it. The Zhao family could be more cleaner after such a fuss. Shaking his head, Jing Jian sighed, "Forget it, let it be!"
"That's right." Liu Xiangdong smiled and poured wine. "You and your wife will have to last longer in the future. Some things must be broader. Close your eyes and pass."
Jing Jian smiled bitterly: "It's all like this, it's long-term? It's hard!" Calculate the days, Zhao Xia's trip abroad was only half a year, and she could be with Wei Yingzhi legitimately. So here, Jing Jian gave Liu Xiangdong a vaccination first. What the Zhao family did was nothing more than to strengthen Jing Jian's idea.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiangdong reacted fiercely: "What are you doing? I thought that some things would be done just by saying a little bit, but I didn't expect that you are so confused and not transparent. Don't think that it's different to go to Huaqing. Choosing women can make you confused. Those vixen are bad and want to hook up, just the teacher I met last time, ah... Don't deny it, you really think that you have no ears, and you can't find out? You look serious, and you still hook your soul?"
"If we don't talk about this, can we?" This question cannot be communicated, and Jing Jian smiled and wanted to change the topic.
"No!" Liu Xiangdong stood up, "You don't think about it, how easy is it? Everyone is staring at you, and everyone in the neighboring villages are proud of you? Which one will educate children, and will not mention our Xiaogang Village, and your Jing family?"
"Not that exaggerated, right?"
"It's not an exaggeration. Think about it, if a couple of people have been admitted to Huaqing, how many other companies can there be in China?"
"Eh?" Jing Jian thought about it carefully and it was true! After being admitted to Huaqing, there may be many classmates who became husband and wife in love. But it is absolutely rare for couples to be admitted to Huaqing. With just one age limit, countless people can be stuck, and the "Marriage Law" does not allow it. At this moment, Jing Jian felt a little vain.
Liu Xiangdong continued: "From the future, you and your wife will stay in the capital and have nothing to do with the Zhao family. The mess here has no effect at all. To put it bluntly, Xiaoxia has no support from her family. You have the final say at home? Is it really annoying, and you should beat me and scold me if you should be scolded?"
"This... domestic violence is not good?" Jing Jian always felt that Liu Xiangdong's idea was a bit unacceptable.
"Tsk!" Liu Xiangdong disagreed, "Women are just like that, don't praise your wife too high. Isn't it just to take the Huaqing exam? If you become the empress, will the head of the family still be our men?"
"Hey hey." It seemed that Liu Xiangdong was a little confused, and the more he spoke, the less he was not at ease. Jing Jian quickly interrupted, "Is Xiaoxia the Empress? Then I don't have the life of the dragon robe?"
"Who is right? The people are all in charge of their own country." Perhaps they have been let go, and today Liu Xiangdong has dared to say anything, "So I made a decision at the village committee that there is no way to keep your own land, and the policy of death will be kept. The homestead will be reserved for you, and the village will not be short of it. Whenever you really enjoy the scenery, it will be the former residence of your couple."
"Cough cough cough." Jing Jian had nothing to say, "Okay, okay, uncle! I'm famous for paying money in the village, and it would be nice to build a scenic spot in the future."
"A joke, don't you buy your house by yourself? Do you want to take advantage of the collective? Just your enlightenment will be in the former residence?"
"... Please don't mention the 'formerly residence' in your opinion. Why do you feel more and more furious when you hear this word? I'm still young."
“…”
*********************************************************
After Liu Xiangdong left, Jing Jian made preparations before leaving. Some invitations were hard to refuse. The two report meetings in the county were one of the commendation meeting organized by the county party committee; the other was a mobilization meeting for freshmen in senior high school. In addition, together with the admitted candidates, thanked the teachers of various subjects for coming to the door. The last one was a private banquet at Fang Ya's family. In addition, Jing Jian refused. It was when he left Fang Ya's family that day, Fang Yuan patted Jing Jian's shoulder meaningfully, and everything was indifferent.
The Zhao family visited again. This time, the three brothers all dispatched. They sent a lot of mountain goods, which was a lot of money. And there were also many things that were brought to Zhao Xia. It was difficult to deal with those mountain goods and wild game, so Huaqing could not set up a stove for himself. So Jing Jian transferred it to neighbors such as Aunt Li, as a thank you.
In the last few days, Jing Jian didn't go out much. He cleaned the two rooms, sorted his luggage, and put Wei Yingzhi's things back to her room. After sleeping in the bed where the two of them had loved each other for a night, Jing Jian finally couldn't help but leave a letter, and never went to the room with beautiful memories again.
On the last day, Jing Jian remembered a childhood dream - climbing the hill at the east end of the county to see the scenery. The hill was called Daqingshan, not famous, its name was a bit tacky and not very high. Therefore, near noon, Jing Jian had already reached the highest point and looked into the distance.
Looking at the ancient wall of the county town below, a river winds by. Jing Jian takes out the smoke and lights it. He smiles, laughing a little self-deprecating. In his memory, he once thought so - this is not Qiong Yao's world. Except for love, everything else is not all clouds!
