Chapter 51 Being targeted and refused to propose marriage
As soon as the new year is over, it will soon be time for spring plowing and planting again.
All things are recovering, and the green grass on the riverside is sprouting new shoots from the soil, looking lush and lush, which is very gratifying.
The gurgling water lapped at the river bank. The water in the river was a little more rapid due to the melting of the snow.
As usual, Zhao Xueer and Dou Hongxia were busy plowing the land and planting rice.
Yun Xiaotang and Zhao Tianer, on the other hand, worked from dawn to dusk to feed the cows.
"Hey, Chun'er, why do I feel that you are so much whiter again?"
Taking advantage of her free time, Wang Dongmei talked to a good friend she hadn't seen all winter.
Yun Xiaotang smiled and brushed Dongmei's bangs on her forehead, "I stayed at home all winter and didn't get much sunlight."
Dongmei glanced at her and pinched her tender and smooth face.
I looked at Yun Xiaotang's increasingly white skin, and then looked at my own sallow skin. I was really envious.
Subconsciously, Dongmei's hand changed from pinching to touching.
Yun Xiaotang was helpless and gently patted away Dongmei's hand that took advantage of her.
Wang Dongmei retracted her hand and laughed, her eyes wandering.
...
After the spring plowing and planting, the members of the entire brigade looked at the sky day after day, looking forward to good weather.
Fortunately, their expectations were not disappointed.
There has been plenty of rain in the following days, and there is no longer the drought of the past three years.
When the summer harvest comes, at a glance, the fields are filled with plump rice grains.
The production team ushered in the first bumper harvest after three years of famine.
Every member's face is filled with the joy of the harvest.
I don't know who stood up in the field, and suddenly someone started singing folk songs.
Everyone bent over and cut rice while singing songs.
You said something and I said something, and many young male and female club members who sang duet suddenly blushed.
The economic base determines the superstructure.
There was a good harvest this time, and the members of the commune, who were in their prime, became more active and wanted to find a wife.
In the past three years, no one has thought about getting married, and no one wants to have more than one person eating at home.
Now, this bustling scene of harvest has given everyone new hope.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and an honest and honest appearance looked around Dou Hongxia.
His mother-in-law had been dead for several years, and he had long noticed this delicate and gentle little woman.
But eating was really stressful before. He has four children at home and has many mouths to eat.
I don't have to worry about it now.
As Zhao Xueer was cutting the rice, she felt a gaze staring at them.
She followed her gaze and saw a man staring at them, or to be precise, staring at Aunt Dou next to her.
Zhao Xueer's heart rang alarm bells, it was this middle-aged man who married Aunt Dou in his previous life, but did not treat her well.
This man's name is Zhao Danian. He seems to be a simple and honest farmer, but he is actually a violent man who likes domestic violence against women.
Zhao Xueer turned sideways to block the burning gaze staring at Aunt Dou.
With her here in this life, Aunt Dou will not be bullied.
Miao Ren'er's figure was blocked, and Zhao Danian had no choice but to look back with regret.
I was thinking about it and went to Aunt Tian in the village to propose marriage.
Aunt Tian is a well-known matchmaker in the village. Apart from gossip, she is most passionate about making marriages and pulling strings.
At this time, he had already determined in his heart that this would definitely happen.
So, he withdrew his gaze. There would be plenty of time and opportunities in the future.
Dou Hongxia was focused on harvesting rice, but she didn't know that she was being watched.
Sure enough, within two days, Aunt Tian came to the door with a smile on her face.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Hey, little girl, Xue'er, there is going to be a happy event in your family."
Aunt Tian also carried two packets of brown sugar tied with thin hemp ropes in her hand. She entered the room, put them on the table, and pulled Zhao Xueer to congratulate them.
Zhao Xueer knew what was going on, but her face remained calm. She held Aunt Tian's hand and asked, "Auntie, what's the happy event?"
Aunt Tian smiled again, "You don't understand even if I tell you, a little girl."
At this time, Dou Hongxia came out of the room.
Aunt Tian's eyes lit up, she let go of Zhao Xueer's hand, walked to Dou Hongxia and looked her up and down, "Look, when you first came to our team, I thought you were gentle and virtuous."
After saying that, she held Dou Hongxia's hand again and said, "I'm here to propose marriage to you. I'm an honest farmer and I've fallen in love with you a long time ago..."
"Here, here are the two packets of brown sugar he asked me to bring to my door. He is also a man who loves his mother-in-law. When you get married, your life will be easier."
When Dou Hongxia heard this, her face turned pale with fright, "Wha...what, proposing marriage? Marrying someone?"
She has never thought about getting married again. She likes her current family.
She just wants to raise Ping An well and take good care of Xue'er, Chun'er, Tian'er and the others.
Without thinking about anything else, she suddenly broke away from the hand that was being held.
He stumbled back a few steps.
When Zhao Xueer saw Aunt Dou's expression, she quickly came over and patted her hand comfortingly, and then looked at Aunt Tian who looked a little confused.
"Auntie, we have always known that you have always taken good care of us. When my grandmother and uncle came to make trouble, it was all thanks to you."
Aunt Tian's expression softened a bit.
Zhao Xueer held Aunt Tian's hand affectionately again, "Auntie, you also know the things that happened to my aunt in the past. Now my aunt has finally become a lot more cheerful, and even Xiaopingan is a lot more lively."
"Women can also hold up half the sky. Our family is living a good life this way. My aunt doesn't want to get married again."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Tian also understood that the marriage was not done.
This is not the old society, and there is no such bully behavior as forced marriage. She does know in her heart that their family is not easy.
Sighing, she said, "Girl Xue'er is right, I feel sorry for your aunt as well. Since I don't want to, I'm not sure I can meet someone better in the future, someone I like in my heart."
Dou Hongxia blushed when she heard the word "like".
I thought to myself, how old is she, and she still has peace, how can she like it or not.
Aunt Tian saw her thin skin and laughed again.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed.
Yun Xiaotang, who was on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.
She also thought of Aunt Dou's previous life, and she managed to escape it this time.
I will never marry that violent man and be bullied again.
Xiao Ping An looked at the people in the room, walked to A Niang's side, and grabbed A Niang's hand.
The warmth of her small hands calmed Dou Hongxia's heart.
After talking for a while, Aunt Tian took the brown sugar and left, going to reject Zhao Danian who asked her to propose marriage.
As for what Zhao Danian thought after learning that the marriage failed, it has nothing to do with her.
Although she is keen on making marriages, she will not offend people without any reason and end up becoming enemies with them.
After Aunt Tian left, Zhao Xueer was still comforting Dou Hongxia, "Auntie, don't worry. Unless you like it, no one can force you to marry as long as you don't agree."
Dou Hongxia finally smiled and yelled, "Children know whether they like something or not."
Yun Xiaotang curled her lips and smiled.
Aunt Dou is so kind, she will definitely meet someone who really cares for her.
