Getting Married on Chronology (Quick Wear) ~ Chapter 6
Arc 1. Little widow in 1970s ~ chapter 6
The captain asked her to come
into the room to speak, and finally agreed to Qiu Xiaochan's proposal, and
asked to invite Gu Wenqian in. Li Chunhua was called into the room by the
captain as another party to "speak".
"Chunhua, I remember that
you were in the same year as Sun Wu. You are thirty-six this year. Why can't
you get along with a little girl at such an old age? You are a dozen years
older than Xiaochan. If you get married early, you will have enough to give
birth to her. I haven't heard of any holidays between you."
Li Chunhua didn't say a word. She
looked down on Qiu Xiaochan. She didn't expect that this girl would really dare
to ask the captain to complain, regretting that she didn't stop her halfway.
The villagers who watched the
excitement outside the house shouted, “Captain, Li Chunhua’s cousin Li San
wants to marry Xiaochan, but Xiaochan didn’t agree. It is estimated that she
hates because this incident.”
The captain turned around and
asked Li Chunhua, “Is that right? Just because of this, you devalued people for
nothing?"
The captain’s wife took a tea
bowl to pour water for everyone. Qiu Xiaochan accepted her thanks.
The captain’s wife looked at her
in surprise for a few times, and finally laughed and boasted, "The girl’s
eighteenth change, the longer Xiaochan is, the more beautiful she used to be. I
didn’t see you going out much before. Recently, I am a lot more cheerful. This
is good. Young people should come out and walk more. If you live in a village,
if you have any difficulties, just mention it. Everyone will definitely be
willing to help."
What the captain’s wife said, Qiu
Xiaochan understands that if there is a grievance, the feelings between people
come out. If you are wronged, no one will rush to uphold justice for her, every
family sweeps the snow before their doors[1], who would do thankless
things?
The original owner was too
introverted before, but if Anyone who is more powerful will not fall to that
point, in the final analysis, "character determines fate."
Gu Wenqian arrived soon. He had
heard about what happened on the way there. He knew that Qiu Xiaochan was
criticized face to face, so he asked himself to prove his
"cleanness". This reminded him of the period when his family was
wronged and criticized and could not argue.
After entering the door, Gu
Wenqian's gaze first fell on Qiu Xiaochan's body. Seeing her complexion, her
expression calmly relieved.
As for Qiu Xiaochan, since Gu
Wenqian appeared, she started acting mode, acting as a strong and kind-hearted,
but also a shy rural girl. These characteristics were all tailored for him
after Qiu Xiaochan analyzed Gu Wenqian’s character.
"Captain, are you looking
for me?”
"Comrade Gu, you are here.
That's it. A few days ago, Xiaochan fell into the water and you rescued her. It
was a good thing, but some people said things changed in quality. Please come
over today. It's what Xiaochan meant."
After speaking, the captain
looked at Qiu Xiaochan and motioned for her to speak, and Gu Wenqian also
looked over.
Qiu Xiaochan stood up with a
light apologetic expression on her face, and said, "Comrade Gu, I feel
sorry for you to come here. Last time you saved me, I haven't come to thank you
solemnly yet. Today I caused you trouble again."
Gu Wenqian said it doesn't
matter.
"I listened to a few gossips
today, if you just talk about me, but you are involved, I can't let your
kindness be slandered, so I have to confess in front of everyone in front of
the captain. Before I talked to Comrade Gu I have never known each other. The
last time I fell into the water was my first contact. There is no such thing as
random speculation. Please be more virtuous in the future, and be less honest”
She said that she was quite level
and subverted everyone's Impression of her, she used to think she was a silly
girl, soft-tempered, but she didn't expect to speak so organized and clumsy.
Originally, Qiu Xiaochan had
finished saying that Gu Wenqian or the captain should make a statement, but Li
Chunhua once again launched a divine assist.
"You just believe others!
The eyes of the crowd are discerning. Everyone sees him kissing you. Is it okay
to kiss you blindly?"
The people watching the
excitement outside the house also whispered their opinions, and some supported Qiu
Xiaochan, some support Li Chunhua, and Gu Wenqian was about to explain, Qiu
Xiaochan spoke first.
"Comrade Gu didn't kiss me,
he just took a few breaths between his hands. That's a life-saving way. You
think about it when you feel dirty."
If Qiu Xiaochan’s remarks before
just surprised Gu Wenqian, then these remarks are completely amazing. He did
not expect that in this closed village, when everyone mistakenly thought that
he deliberately took advantage of lesbians, Qiu Xiaochan can maintain an
independent mind and see that "artificial respiration" is a way to
save people.
Even though Qiu Xiaochan
explained, Gu Wenqian did not choose to remain silent. He still explained his
behavior. "Comrade Qiu was right. This is called 'cardiopulmonary
resuscitation', which is specifically used to save people. The situation was
urgent at the time. I was worried. I am not comprehensive enough, I apologize
to Comrade Qiu here."
Gu Wenqian undoubtedly changed
the concept, but artificial respiration is indeed a key part of CPR. He avoids
the importance of the light because he does not want to cause unnecessary
trouble, otherwise the four words that make people think are coming out and
don't know what it is.
Gu Wenqian’s role made Qiu
Xiaochan’s affection for him two steps higher in an instant. She responded,
“Comrade Gu is serious, we are all right, it’s just that everyone wanted to be
crooked.”
Li Chunhua was still not
convinced, “ Forget it. You didn’t have much before. Then it’s true that you
want to marry Comrade Gu. Aunt He went to your house first, and then went to find
Comrade Gu. It was spread all over the village, but Comrade Gu didn’t like you.
You have to admit it."
Seeing that she was still
talking, she keeps talking Qiu Xiaochan's personal affairs out of her mind. He
was bored with the character of opening her mouth and having to bite people
into the bloodstream. He can't help but take out the cigarette stick and light
it to relieve the anxiety.
Qiu Xiaochan blushed after
hearing this "accusation" and bit her lip in embarrassment. Gu
Wenqian glanced at her, frowning with a sigh, "Nothing, it was just
Comrade Qiu who sent it out of gratitude that day, a few pancakes, these
chaotic things have done a lot to Comrade Qiu, and I hope everyone will stop
spreading it."
After listening to him, Qiu
Xiaochan gratefully looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and
then moved back to each other.
The captain coughed and took the
conversation, "Okay, since the misunderstanding has been explained
clearly, then everyone should stop discussing these things in the future. Li
Chunhua, you have to apologize to Xiaochan and Comrade Gu."
Li Chunhua leaned on his side and
stalked her neck, and her whole body was full of rejection. Qiu Xiaochan saw
that she didn't feel guilty at all and didn't plan to let her go so easily, so
he just said the previous agreement.
"Captain, we made an
agreement before we came. If it proves that she wronged me, she must apologize
to me in front of the entire production team. If she doesn't say it, then admit
that she is an unbelieving villain. "
Li Chunhua was about to rush over
and beat someone angrily, but was held tightly by the captain's wife.
"Chunhua, just apologize.
This is because you are wrong. You can't bully Xiaochan just because she is
young."
Li Chunhua hummed, "I just
said a few words and you say I am bullying her? I didn’t say it alone. There
are too many people in the team. Why don’t you find them one by one? Because my
mother’s family is from an outside village, so you unite and bullie me.”
She is really not good-looking
with this upside-down look. None of the people at the scene were angry, but if
she was deliberately guilty, others couldn’t help her. In the end, Li Chunhua
didn’t say anything to express apology, and left with a sullen face. Others
watching the excitement were also Lu They left one after another, only Qiu
Xiaochan and Gu Wenqian stayed till the end.
After such a trouble, she will
definitely not go to the town today. Qiu Xiaochan handed the half of small
basket eggs that she had originally planned to go to the supply and marketing
agency to exchange money, give to the captain’s wife. She smiled and said,
“Auntie, thank to you and uncle for helping me get justice for today's affairs.
This is the egg laid by my own hen. You can leave it if you don't dislike
it."
Eggs are a rare thing in the
countryside, the best food for visiting relatives and friends. It can be used
as currency. The small half basket has at least 20 eggs. This girl will give it
to her without blinking her eyes. It is really generous.
The captain’s wife is not the
kind of the eyes open when see money[2], how could she ask for such
a valuable thing, she hurriedly refused, "I can’t accept this. Today we
are telling the truth, and it didn’t help me. You and your mother It’s not easy
to live alone, so you better take it home and eat it by yourself.”
These eggs are wiped clean, and
they must be saved for a long time. Everyone knows that their mothers and daughters
can’t earn money in a year. How many work points they can make, it is still
difficult to fill your stomach. How could the captain's wife know that this egg
was exchanged by Qiu Xiaochan with points?
When Gu Wenqian talked to the
captain, he unconsciously paid attention to Qiu Xiaochan's movements. If the
previous impression of her was based on the scattered words of the villagers,
then today he has a new understanding of her and discovered that she is
actually a very smart person. The girl who is also very courageous is just good
at "hiding clumsy". {Concealed}
The captain’s wife refused to
accept anything. Finally, Qiu Xiaochan had to leave with the bamboo basket on
her back. She walked on the front foot, and Gu Wenqian also said goodbye to the
captain on the back foot. The captain’s wife looked at the backs of the two and
followed her husband. "Even though those words were passed on blindly,
they did match well, but unfortunately, there is a problem with a reputation
and a composition. It must be difficult to make a living together."
The captain tapped the cigarette
stick and said, "You don't care about other people's affairs. It's better
not to learn from long-tongue women[3]."
After speaking, captain walk
outside the house, leaving his wife was in angry.
"What kind of person, I will
grow up with one word."
She sighed, put away the tea bowl
on the table and moved it to the well to clean it.
Gu Wenqian's steps were larger
than Qiu Xiaochan's, and he caught up within a few steps. The two went together
without speaking for a while. Qiu Xiaochan was waiting for the opportunity to
speak, but Gu Wenqian didn't know what to say.
After walking for a few minutes,
the two spoke in unison.
"You..."
"You..."
Qiu Xiaochan smiled,
"Comrade Gu, let's talk about it first."
"You did a good job today.
Sometimes being too kind is a kind of harm to yourself, and the more kind you
are, the greater the harm.”
Qiu Xiaochan nodded, "Okay,
I understand, thank you for your concern, I will bravely protect myself and the
people I care about in the future, so that others will not be bullied."
She smiled brightly. Gu Wenqian glanced away
and nodded in recognition of her words.
He thought of Aunt He's proposal
last time, guessing that she should have known it, feeling somewhat
uncomfortable in his heart, but his rejection at that time was based on his own
problems and had nothing to do with Qiu Xiaochan. In fact, she is a good girl,
and she deserves to be cared for by a good man.
The two walked together for a few
minutes and separated at intersection of the road. Qiu Xiaochan went home with
the bamboo basket on his back. Before reaching the door of the house, the
confrontation between her and Li Chunhua had spread throughout the brigade.
