This was very bold and completely unexpected. Hu Pingtao and Gu Dewei looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Xie Anguo was also a little embarrassed. After saying this, he fell into silence for half a minute.

After a long time, Hu Pingtao first broke the deadlock: "Lao Xie, um... was this the first time for Wang Qiong?"

"It's the first time." Xie Anguo was very sure about this: "Although I had never been in contact with women at that time, the old man in his family had told me about this matter. Especially my mother, since Wang Qiong and I went on a blind date, we have always had a close relationship with each other.

After we started dating, my mother would ask me in letters from time to time, have I ever done anything like that with Wang Qiong? She also told me how to judge whether she had had other men before."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Are you sure?"

Xie Anguo nodded heavily: "How can you joke about this kind of thing? Marriage is a lifelong matter, of course I have to figure it out!"

Hu Pingtao asked attentively: "What happened next?"

"Wang Qiong and I found a restaurant in the city for dinner that day and didn't go home until very late." Xie Anguo recalled the past with a sigh of relief on his face: "I will never forget that day... To be honest, although

Later, I met many women outside, of all kinds, and they were all prettier than Wang Qiong, but I could never find that feeling again."

Hu Pingtao observed his words and continued following Xie Anguo's words: "Wang Qiong should be considered your first love! The first time is always the best, and can also leave the best memories in my heart... By the way, you weren't just now

He said that he went home to visit relatives that year and the vacation was very short. According to the timeline you mentioned, the marriage certificate will be obtained on the second day and you will return to the army on the third day. When will your wedding be held specifically? "

This question seemed a bit sharp. Xie Anguo lowered his head and silently stared at the cigarette in his hand without answering.

After a long while, he said gloomily: "Wang Qiong and I have never held a banquet."

Hu Pingtao frowned: "Never done it before? Why?"

Xie Anguo opened his mouth, but no sound came out. It seemed that there were some things he found difficult to say and was unwilling to say them.

Hu Pingtao did not rush and waited patiently.

"...Wang Qiong...she has another man outside." In the end, Xie Anguo revealed the secret in his heart.

"The army does not have family leave every year. I was busy with promotions at that time, and if I wanted to be promoted, I had to perform well and be on top of everything. That year I was promoted to deputy company, and I had a lot of things to do. I was so busy throughout the year that I didn't even have time to rest.

, let alone going home.”

"It's been like this for two consecutive years, and there's really nothing I can do about it. My parents wrote to me asking me when I could go back? I couldn't even tell you for sure, until April of the third year, a new instructor was sent down.

, I handed over part of my work and got annual leave.”

"I was looking forward to going home to visit my relatives that time. Ever since I joined the army, I had saved all my allowances just for the wedding. I planned to have a good wedding and marry Wang Qiong in a glorious way.

Live a good life from now on. After all, I have made meritorious service in the army and received awards. If I am lucky, I will be promoted to a full company in one or two years, and then my family will be able to join the army. What a great thing."

"But on my way back to the village, I met an acquaintance. He used to teach in the same school as Wang Qiong. Later, the village primary schools merged. He lost his job and worked at home farming."

"He told me that Wang Qiong was pregnant with a child last year and then aborted it."

When he said this, Xie Anguo slowly smoked his cigarette, his expression indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Hu Pingtao asked subconsciously: "That child who was aborted...is it yours?"

Xie Anguo shook his head, and his tone was obviously self-deprecating: "Judging from the time, it can't be mine. She and I got the certificate and did that kind of thing. It took more than a year and nearly two years before she got pregnant and had sex.

If you have an abortion, it is obvious that you are not my seed."

"I later learned that the first-time pregnancy rate between men and women is very low."

"When that person told me this, I was completely stunned."

"I really think of her as my wife! Isn't this man working hard outside just for this family? I want to give her a good life, and it's beyond my control to not go home for two years. Besides, it's not like being a soldier.

Gun, this is my responsibility and obligation, why should she do this to me?"

Gu Dewei couldn't help but ask: "Did you believe what that person said casually? What if he was just lying?"

Xie Anguo patted his thigh hard: "How can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing! We are all from the same village, and we can't see each other when we look up. If he dares to arrange it randomly, I will make him suffer. Besides, at that time, reforms

It has only been a few years since the opening up, and the people in the village have deeply ingrained ideas. Although I am only a deputy company-level cadre in the army, my military uniform is still very intimidating. If he talks nonsense and arranges people at will, nothing will happen.

How dare you say something wrong about me behind my back!"

Hu Pingtao, who also came from a military family, was deeply touched by this and nodded: "That's true."

Xie Anguo said bitterly: "Although Wang Qiong and I were married, we were married only once! My family gave me a bride price, and I still have a marriage certificate. My father was in the army and did not come home for two years.

, she made me a doll... I couldn't swallow anything I said, so when I heard what that person said, I got angry and went straight home to look for the household registration book and marriage certificate, making up my mind to marry Wang.

Joan is divorced.”

"When I returned home and met my parents, I realized that things were far from as simple as I had heard."

"Wang Qiong not only had one abortion, but three abortions in succession. Counting from the time I left that year, one at the end of that year, one in March of the next year, and another in July of the same year...Wang Qiong was in

The village’s reputation has long been ruined.”

"Wait!" Hu Pingtao interrupted him and asked doubtfully: "Logically speaking, abortion is inherently disgraceful and must be hidden from acquaintances. But your family knows the time of Wang Qiong's three operations very well. How did they do it?

Do you know?"

Xie Anguo explained: "The main reason was that Wang Qiong did not go to the hospital when she had an abortion for the first time. At that time, abortion was not as easy as it is now. Just go to the hospital and buy a medical record and spend money. In the past, you had to have a Murakami certificate. Rural Health

The hospital couldn't do it, so it had to be at least a district-level maternal and child health hospital. Wang Qiong couldn't get a certificate, and her belly was big, so she had no choice but to find a midwife from another village and do it privately."

Gu Dewei also had his own thoughts on this and asked: "Since I can't hide it, why didn't Wang Qiong give birth to the child? Calculating the time, even if her first child is not yours, she can still blame it on you, which will reduce the responsibility.

and trouble.”

Xie Anguo sighed: "I had the same idea at the time. But later I found out that Wang Qiong had been with someone else before me. In fact, she didn't want to go on a blind date with me, but she was forced by her family and had no choice.

She met me. After the blind date, she had a good impression of me, so she broke up with her previous partner. But that person often came to see her and took off Wang Qiong's clothes several times, and she was just short of the last step."

"Wang Qiong didn't dare to do that kind of thing with him. After all, the customs in the village were different in the past. If you were to lose your virginity before marriage, you would be scolded to death by everyone. Later, Wang Qiong and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate and open a house.

From now on, she was very proactive, just to get past me first. After I returned to the army, she started hanging out with the man in private, several times a week. The more times she went, the longer it took, and it would be difficult to get pregnant."

Hu Pingtao's frown deepened: "Lao Xie, according to you, Wang Qiong is really courageous! You were an active soldier at the time, and she was messing around like this in front of you, and her ex-boyfriend, it was obviously sabotage.

Military wedding!"

Xie Anguo showed anger on his face: "Of course I know that military marriages are protected by law. So I went home and got the marriage certificate, ran to Wang's house, found Wang Qiong, and asked her to follow me to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures.

"

"In addition to divorce, I also asked her to name that bitch man. I'm going to court to sue this bitch couple and make them pay for it."

"But Wang Qiong refused to admit anything and claimed that she had never done it."

Hu Pingtao said coldly: "Anyway, you just refuse to admit it and keep denying it?"

Xie Anguo said: "It doesn't matter whether she admits it or not. The whole village knows it anyway. This kind of thing can't be faked, and it's impossible for others to smear her face. Wang Qiong and I are actually husband and wife in name only. She

She couldn't bear the life of two people living apart. I guess she had wanted to divorce me for a long time, but when things came to pass, she was afraid and didn't dare to face me."

"Later, someone reported the news to her brother, and she hurried home and begged me in a low voice. Then she turned around and scolded Wang Qiong, saying that she was young and ignorant. Later, her parents also knelt on the ground and begged me, saying that they would discipline Wang Qiong well.

Joan...well, it's all my fault.

If I had been so cruel that day and had taken Wang Qiong to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures, there would have been no such nonsense. Seeing that their whole family was there, I felt soft in my heart, thinking that I had to give the old man face, so I didn't.

Leave Wang Qiong alone and turn around and go home."

"I was upset in those days. Later, I discussed it with my family and decided to get a divorce. After all, Wang Qiong is a woman who can't keep her family. Even if we have an agreement now and she is willing to repent, she may repent as time goes by.

Do it again. And my mother also said that this woman

Too many abortion surgeries will affect the body, and I'm afraid even having children will be a problem in the future. Wang Qiong has no scruples in this regard, and it seems that she has a strong need for that aspect. If this continues, if we get married, start a family and have children, I will be with her.

It’s better to leave now than you are asking for trouble.”

"Later I went to Wang Qiong's house again, but she refused to do it...Marriage and divorce are not unilateral. Even if I was an active soldier and she deliberately destroyed the marriage, divorce would take time. So I asked her and her

The family expressed their attitude and then returned to the army."

"After half a month, Wang Qiong came to the army to look for me. She kept saying that she couldn't live without me and wanted to save this relationship. She also said that she would live with me wholeheartedly from now on. But what she did before made me very sad and I have no feelings for her anymore.

No matter what she says, I won’t listen to her, and I am determined to get a divorce.”

"Later, Wang Qiong found the instructor and also the group about this matter, hoping that the leader could persuade me. At first, the instructor and the leader did not know the inside story, so they all advised me to be more mature and put family first. Later, they listened to me explain the matter.

Well, knowing what Wang Qiong did at home, everyone was angry. Even the political commissar of the regiment, my old superior, said: This kind of woman is undesirable."

"The instructor talked to Wang Qiong once, and Wang Qiong quickly learned that having an affair within marriage is no joke, especially since I am still an officer. If it really pisses me off, not to mention her lover, even Wang Qiong herself will

Gotta go to jail."

"She was afraid and agreed to divorce."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao asked: "Did you go through the formalities in the army?"

"Yes." Xie Anguo replied: "At that time, including me, no one thought much about it. They just thought that the matter was over and that Wang Qiong and I would never have anything to do with each other again."

"What happened next?" Hu Pingtao lit up a cigarette.

"Later..." Xie Anguo sighed: "I never thought that Wang Qiong was not an ordinary person! She left the army and returned to the village. When she met everyone, she said: She reconciled with me and held a wedding in the army. The chief

Many people from the soldiers came, she drank a glass of wine with me and entered the bridal chamber, and everyone in the army was a witness."

Gu Dewei opened his mouth in surprise and said "Ah": "Is there such an operation?"

"That's why I said she is not an ordinary person." Xie Anguo was in a low mood: "There were no mobile phones before, and communication was not as convenient as it is now. To make a call, you had to go to the city telecommunications office, and the long-distance cost was very expensive. My family couldn't bear to spend it.

I had no choice but to let Wang Qiong handle the money. From that day on, she regarded herself as my daughter-in-law and lived in my house in a big way."

"Some people had doubts at the time, but after all, Wang Qiong got the certificate from me. It's common for couples to quarrel and continue living together after a fight. There are also precedents for men and women to cheat outside... Anyway, after a while, everyone thinks it's normal.

, my parents also think that as long as Wang Qiong calms down and lives a good life with me, it will be fine."

"Three months later, I wrote a letter home. I told her about my divorce from Wang Qiong in the letter. When my parents read the letter, they were very angry because Wang Qiong lived in the house and ate and drank for free every day.

, and kept taking things to subsidize my parents' family. My dad found Wang Qiong, took out my letter, and asked her what was going on?"

As he said that, Xie Anguo stood up from the sofa, walked to the door of the living room, and pointed at the door: "My house used to be a courtyard, and the door was over there. It was open during the day. I kept two dogs at home, and when strangers came,

The dog barks. People in the village don't look up when they look down. No one who knows the way around would think of going to someone else's house to steal something, so they only close the door when the sun is about to set."
