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.
