MTL - He is From Great Sea of Stars-Chapter 10 Sisters in the 1970s,
The affair of Huo Chenyang and Jiang Xiaxia's engagement quickly spread in Shaping Village, causing a lot of heated discussion in the community, and most of them were envious of Jiang Xiaxia.
Because Huo Chenyang and He Nian's marriage contract, outsiders actually don't know.
Even though Huo Chenyang went to the countryside, the Jiang family and the Huo family were afraid that this relationship would lead to bad speculation, so they kept it a secret.
But now it seems that it saves a lot of other troubles.
When Grandma Jiang went out to deliver food in the field, she happened to meet Aunt Jiang, whose neighbor was also delivering food.
As soon as Aunt Jiang saw her, she carried the basket in her hand and walked over with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Xiaxia and the eldest son of the Huo family are engaged?"
Grandma Jiang glanced at her and nodded with a smile.
"yes."
"Yo, really, you Xiaxia are really lucky. If you marry in the city, you will have a good life."
Grandma Jiang held her hand affectionately and said, "Mr. Huo has entered the workshop now, isn't he? He is really capable. Didn't his brother pass the provincial champion exam some time ago? I heard that there were many leaders at that time. They all came, and a lot of money was distributed, and they were all reported!"
"Sister-in-law, Xiaxia has fallen into the golden nest this time!"
Aunt Jiang has always been like this, she says what she wants to say, and sometimes her words change as soon as they come out, which sounds weird.
But Grandma Jiang understood this and didn't care, she just smiled and said,
"This is the fate of the children. I don't care about the rest. It's mainly Chenyang, the child, who is honest and respectful, and treats us Xiaxia well, so I can rest assured to marry Xiaxia."
"Yes, yes, Chenyang is a good boy. Now in the village, who doesn't praise your family, Xiaxia, for being lucky. This person is really different. Don't you think He Nian also plays with Xiaxia every day? , two people are as good as one person."
Aunt Jiang approached her and lowered her voice, "I heard something, sister-in-law, let me tell you, don't be annoyed. Before, Mr. Huo seemed to have a crush on He Nian, but you see, Chenyang just can't see it. When I went to her, I chose Xiaxia instead."
"What does this mean? It means that some people, she is a blessing. But your family, Xiaxia, is out of a lifetime, and I know that she has great prospects when I look at her nose and eyes!"
......
Grandma Jiang's smile faded a little, "Niannian is also a good boy, maybe it's because fate didn't come."
Grandma Jiang slapped herself quickly,
"Yes, fate hasn't arrived yet. Sister-in-law, look at me, but you can't speak. I'll just say that. Don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, I don't know about you, brother and sister. By the way, the wedding ceremony is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and Xiaxia is married far away, so I hired Liu Sanshu's ox cart, and when that time comes, I will take everyone to the city to bring her blessings. Don't forget to come and have a drink."
Grandma Jiang was stunned, "The day after tomorrow? Why are you rushing like this?"
"Isn't the second kid of the Huo family going to college?"
Grandma Jiang smiled, "The two brothers are in a good relationship, so they want to have a drink before Xingchao leaves. Xingchao had to leave today, and he pushed it for a few days for his brother's wedding."
"Oh, yes, the relationship is good, the two sons of the Huo family are promising, and they are united, Xiaxia is married, just sit and enjoy the happiness..."
......
That's right.
The reason why Huo Xingchao went to the capital a few days late was because he was left behind as a pretense.
In fact, the Jiang family and the Huo family knew why this marriage was done in such a hurry.
-Because the child in Jiang Xiaxia's belly has been more than two months old.
If there is no banquet, then everyone will be able to guess why this marriage is married.
It was because the two young men accidentally made the woman's belly bigger because of the two young men's gunfire.
Huo Chenyang is a kid, it's okay to say, but Jiang Xiaxia, a girl, can't afford to lose face.
So I prepared in a hurry, I picked it up, I thought about it, and in the end, I hurriedly picked the most recent good day for the marriage.
Mother Huo felt guilty for He Nian in her heart.
But on the one hand, he couldn't endure the hardships of his eldest son, and on the other hand, he couldn't let go of the grandson in Jiang Xiaxia's stomach, so he could only hold the banquet.
He Nian also came that day. He gave a wedding gift and said a lot of blessings with a smile on his face.
Outsiders looked at the tearful eyes of the bride and thought she was moved, and said that the two girls had a good relationship.
But Jiang Xiaxia knew.
The more lighthearted He Nian was, who didn't blame, question, or criticize, the more it showed that she didn't forgive her.
She knew that she had done something wrong. He Nian and Big Brother Huo had a marriage contract since childhood, and she should not have feelings for Big Brother Huo.
But at the same time, she felt aggrieved.
He Nian had told her that she didn't like Brother Huo. She had also told her that if she could, she would rather not have this engagement.
......
Besides, it's just a marriage contract, and the two are not really in love, so why did Brother Huo say she was a mistress?
She pinched the corners of her red and gorgeous clothes, pursed her lips, and held back the tears of grievance.
Forget it, one day, when Niannian grows up and has someone she likes, she will understand her.
......
In fact, what Jiang Xiaxia didn't know was.
If she and Huo Chenyang are in love with each other and want to confirm the relationship, she will tell He Nian about it. Your best friend is happy.
But she chose to hide it and secretly fell in love, and it was not until she couldn't hide it when she was pregnant that she thought of praying to Grandpa Huo.
This kind of behavior is not only in the eyes of Huo Xingchao, but even in the eyes of He Nian, who has been influenced by Huo Xingchao over the years, it is the behavior of a mistress.
......
He Nian's feelings for Jiang Xiaxia are complicated.
On the one hand, they grew up together. Jiang Xiaxia is lively, cheerful and enthusiastic, and her kindness and help are genuine.
But on the other hand, what she did that He Nian couldn't accept was also true.
Therefore, An Jing quietly broke off the engagement with Huo Chenyang, and sincerely wished her a happy life in the future at the wedding banquet.
—It was He Nian's last warmth to this best friend.
......
For the villagers who don't know the truth, the banquet is very lively, and the Huo family is indeed quite rich.
Looking at this dish, most people are really reluctant.
However, just when the guests were drinking happily in the yard, the groom was making up his mind and confided to Mr. Huo what he had thought about for several days in the room.
He really loves Xiaxia, but he also doesn't want to be disappointed by his grandfather who has been loving him for so many years.
Huo Chenyang thought about it for a long time, and finally last night, his brain flashed and he thought of a proper solution.
"Grandpa, I already have Xiaxia. There is no way to marry He Nian. This is a last resort, but...but there is still Xingchao."
Huo Chenyang grabbed Mr. Huo's hand with a sincere expression,
"When Grandpa He made an agreement with you, he only said that if there happened to be a man and a woman, they would become in-laws. But our Huo family has two grandchildren. If Xingchao and He Nian get married, our two families will also become in-laws, right? ?"
"Grandpa, Xingchao has a good relationship with He Nian, let them get married, the best of both worlds."
......
Mr. Huo was silent for a long time.
Leaning on crutches, he looked at the eldest grandson whom he loved most in the past, with a deep tone.
"So, what you don't want to do, push it to your brother?"
In the past two days, his hair has turned a lot whiter again, looking at Huo Chenyang's expression with obvious disappointment and dissatisfaction,
"Chenyang, when did you become like this?"
......
Huo Chenyang drank a lot of wine today, and he dared to say these words to his grandfather only after he had grown up courage.
But the expected relief and approval did not appear, and even grandpa looked at him with uncontrollable pain and anger.
Huo Chenyang was stunned all of a sudden.
Grandpa Huo stared at him, knocking on the ground with his crutches in a stern tone,
"I don't know how to make progress, not being filial to my elders, and not loving my brothers, Chen Yang, you really disappoint me!"
"grandfather!"
Huo Chenyang couldn't help shouting.
He stood up, and because of the drink, he became agitated for a while, and even his eyes became scarlet,
"Are you even facing him now!"
"What do you mean by that!"
"Grandpa, you forced me to marry He Nian. If I didn't, you said that I was unfilial. I said that I would let Xingchao marry, and I said that I didn't love my brother, but have you ever thought about whether this is fair to me!"
"Why are all the children of the Huo family, this marriage has to fall on my head? And Xingchao, he can live by his own mind?"
Huo Chenyang's heart was filled with the grievances and resentments that he had accumulated over the years, and he would vent all of it through the alcoholism.
"Since I was a child, my dad liked him more. He is good-looking and has a good brain. He didn't have to work hard for anything, and he was admitted to Beijing University casually. As for me, even if I read it late at night, I still fell off the list. You know me Why don't you want to take the college entrance examination? It's not that I'm afraid I won't pass the test, but even if I pass the test, people still think I can't compare to him!"
"When I was a child, our family was poor, and we often didn't have enough to eat. We didn't have a new dress for a few years. But as soon as he was born, the family had a good life. We had enough to eat and clothe, and we never suffered for a day. You said, this Why?"
"When I went to the countryside, when I was doing farm work in the fields, he was studying peacefully in the city, and he didn't have to do all the hard work. The Huo family's two children, one carrying a **** and the other holding a golden spoon, Have you ever thought, is this fair to me?!"
......
Grandpa Huo looked at him in astonishment.
He never knew that Huo Chenyang had so much resentment in his heart, and he never imagined that the eldest grandson, who was honest and loyal and cared for his brother, actually had so much dissatisfaction in his heart.
"you......"
He moved his lips, trying to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
After being silent for a long time, he waved his hand, his tone was deep, with an old twilight meaning,
"You call Xingchao in, I'll talk to him."
......
After Huo Chenyang vented, in fact, he had already woken up most of the time, and only then did he realize what he just said.
His face suddenly turned pale.
But seeing Grandpa's wrinkled face and his body that seemed to be tired all of a sudden, he lowered his head, shuffled his steps, walked out the door, and went downstairs to call Huo Xingchao.
...He didn't know why he said these words today.
Perhaps, in his heart, he was really unwilling.
......
Huo's two children.
When Huo Chenyang was born, Huo's father was still an ordinary worker. Huo's mother took care of her husband and son at home and did not go out to work, so the family's income was not as high as it is now.
His childhood was indeed not as good as Huo Xingchao's.
But after Huo Xingchao was born, Huo's father went up level by level, Huo's mother also entered the textile factory, and the conditions became better and better.
But at the same time, Huo's father and Huo's mother became busier and busier. When he was a child, Huo Xingchao grew up free-ranging.
Mother Huo took care of him, not as carefully as taking care of the eldest son.
Huo Xingchao still has a shallow scar on the right side of his forehead. It was because he was playing at the gate of the factory when he was a child. Huo's mother was busy with work.
Not only this scar, he actually suffered many minor injuries when he was a child, all because the adults in the family were busy and could not take care of him.
That is to say, after being in this state of stocking for a long time, he grew crooked day by day, and finally became a local ruffian.
But because of Bawang Xing, Huo Xingchao's fate was turned to another path.
Seeing that his younger brother was getting better and better, but he was in deep trouble, Huo Chenyang's heart gradually became unbalanced.
One after another, he thought it was the injustice of his parents and the world.
......
Huo Chenyang said it was unfair. In fact, Huo's father and Huo's mother put more energy on him than on Huo Xingchao.
If the only place where he could barely make him feel wronged might be when the genes were distributed, they gave the younger son better genes.
- But this, is it under their control?
Whether going to the countryside or changing conditions at home, is it something they can control?
As for what.
The reason why Grandpa Huo wanted Huo Chenyang to marry He Nian was because he preferred his eldest grandson.
He thought about it all.
Since Huo Chenyang married He Nian, all the things and contacts in his hands would be handed over to Huo Chenyang, and then they could be passed on to his and He Nian's children.
In this way, it can be regarded as a kind of repayment of the old comrade-in-arms who sacrificed their lives to save them.
As a result, after so many years, I have given a lot of things, and I have almost explained my contacts. When it came time, Huo Chenyang suddenly wanted to fall in love freely, and he also brought back Jiang Xiaxia with a big belly.
Can Mr. Huo be angry?
You said that if you didn't want it earlier, he wouldn't force it.
Now that I almost got what I should take, I suddenly regretted it and said it was unfair.
Mr. Huo really couldn't figure it out.
Whether this grandson is honest and loyal, or is he foolishly hiding a traitor.
......
As soon as Huo Xingchao entered the room, he saw his grandfather leaning on a cane and looking at the sky.
A look of sadness looking up at a 45° angle.
I couldn't help raising my eyebrows, and cautiously probed,
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Mr. Huo came back to his senses, "Oh, it's okay."
He pointed to the opposite chair with his cane,
"sit down."
Because Huo Xingchao was naughty and troubled when he was a child, Mr. Huo would beat him whenever he saw him, and he was used to it for so many years.
With such a gentle tone today, Huo Xingchao looked at his grandfather in surprise, then looked serious,
"I'll just stand."
Mr. Huo didn't force it, he just sighed deeply, as if he was going to explain something important.
"...Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it, I can bear it."
"Star Dynasty..."
...This tone does not seem to be explaining a major event.
It's more like a confession.
Huo Xingchao immediately straightened his face and leaned over,
"You say."
"Grandpa wants to ask you..."
The young man's eyes were dignified and he listened attentively.
"Would you like to marry Niannian?"
"..."
