In 1995, my boyfriend came to propose marriage and was driven away by my father, and slept in the cowshed for 7 days, and now we live happily
I am Luo Xiaohui, born in 1991, and when I was 17 years old, I was admitted to the high school in the county.
My home is in a small mountain village more than 20 miles away from the county seat, and I am the second son of two daughters in the family. His father was a carpenter and worked outside the home to make furniture, while his mother worked as a farmer. The family was well-off, and in the early 90s, we built a small two-story building.
When I was in high school, my sister got married when I was five years old and was introduced to me by a friend of my father's. The brother-in-law works in the construction team of the county and owns a property in the city, and the father is quite satisfied with this eldest son-in-law.
I attended a high school far from home, so I stayed on boarding at the school. I only go home on weekends, and every week my mother gives me some pocket money.
At that time, I was a picky person with dressing up, so I would save my pocket money to buy my favorite snacks and clothes. As for the school food, like other students, I brought a bag of steamed rice with my mother's pickles in an earthen jar, and I could solve it once a week.
In the first year of high school, the class began to pass small notes. My tablemate was a beautiful and quiet girl, and she often received confession letters from boys. I laughed and teased her, but I was also a little jealous in my heart. Because of my ordinary-looking appearance, the boys prefer to talk to my tablemates and call me "Lao Luo".
Why do they call me "Lao Luo"?Because I had a somewhat masculine personality, was keen on sports, and joined the school's basketball team, my male classmates considered me a brother, hence the nickname.
I'm really depressed, why can't you call me Xiaohui?That's a quiet name. Alas, who said that the table looks better than me?Maybe she's more gentle, whiter than me, right?
If I don't go to play basketball, don't run, don't bask in the sun, my face will be white and clean, everyone will love it, and the flowers will bloom, right?
People are more incomparable!
In my sophomore year of high school, my grade was divided into subjects, and I chose the science class because I didn't like rote memorization.
Unexpectedly, there were more than 50 students in the science class, of which more than 40 were boys and only 9 were girls, and I suddenly felt like a rare animal.
Haha, there are many boys in the class, and girls are scarce, with such a ratio, won't the boys notice me?
Sure enough, not long after, while running on the playground, a male classmate always followed me and became mine"Followers"。
However, he was the one from the worst family in our science class, and his name was Xia Dongwei, who was actually my hometown, from the village next door to my family.
Xia Dongwei's family was poor, his mother died early, and his father worked hard to support him and his brother to study.
When I was in school, I often saw Xia Dongwei's father come back from the city to water the vegetable patch. Sometimes Xia Dongwei followed his father, and the feces were dirty and smelly. Every time I met them, I couldn't help but cover my nose and avoid them.
Even though Xia Dongwei was the only one who pursued me, I didn't have much affection for him. I used to look at him coldly, and sometimes even teased him with my classmates to try to get him to give up.
However, Xia Dongwei was not discouraged and has always been my follower. Whenever I was hungry, he would rather save his pocket money and buy me bread, melon seeds, and sweets.
Gradually, I began to recognize Xia Dongwei. He's dead set on me, and few girls can resist such a pursuit, right?
Despite his poor family background, Xia Dongwei's appearance is not bad, ** even whiter than me, 1.75 meters tall, and he is unique in the class.
We began to fall in love secretly, doing homework together, playing sports, like a couple and like brothers.
After graduating from high school, we didn't get into college, so we had to go back home and look for new opportunities.
In those days, there was no **, no mobile phone, and I had to go to the other party's house to find someone in person.
Xia Dongwei and I are going through a period of young boys and girls, and the first emotional bloom. After not seeing each other for a day, we felt anxious in our hearts, so we often sneaked out on dates. However, my love affair with him soon spread throughout the small mountain village.
One day, when my father was working outside, he heard someone tell him that his baby daughter was in a relationship with Xia Dongwei of the Xia family. When the father heard this, he was furious and scolded the person who told him: "You can't say this casually, my daughter is honest, she is still young, how can she know how to fall in love?".They are just normal interactions between classmates. ”
When my father got home, he immediately found me and asked angrily, "What are you doing with the Xia boy?"You're a girl, you're hanging out with guys all day, what the hell are you doing?Everyone else has spread the word, how will you find a partner in the future?”
When I was in school, I never told my parents about my relationship with Xia Dongwei. But now that I've graduated from high school, I've decided not to hide it anymore.
I confessed to telling my father: "Dad, Xia Dongwei and I are indeed dating, and we plan to go out together to find a job." ”
The father's eyes widened in disbelief and exclaimed, "Are you blind?"That Xia Dongwei has no mother, there are only two dilapidated houses in the family, and if you get married, even the food will be unpalatable!”
I insisted: "Dad, Dongwei and I are not children anymore, we can go to work to earn money and work together to improve our lives." Isn't poverty unchangeable?”
Mother also joined in the persuasion: "Xiaohui, you are too naïve, we let you study to find an easy job and find a good mother-in-law." Follow that poor boy, and you will only suffer in the future. ”
My father was so angry that he threw his carpentry tools to the ground and yelled at me, "If you have any more dealings with that person surnamed Xia, I will break your leg!"”
I snorted disdainfully and said firmly: "I like Xia Dongwei just like him, and I want to go to Guangdong with him to work." ”
My father slapped me angrily, and I ran into the room crying, disgusted with my father's **.
The next day, it happened that Xia Dongwei came to look for me, but my parents had been wary of me for a long time and locked the door of my room.
I could only shout to Xia Dongwei on the windowsill and tell him to hurry up, otherwise my father would use a wooden stick against him.
A few days later, Xia Dongwei quietly came to my house again, was found by my mother, and the door was locked again.
I live on the second floor, so I opened the glass window and wanted to jump off the sill. Xia Dongwei saw my movements and shouted loudly in fright.
He whispered to me, "Are you crazy?".What should I do if I fall and get hurt?I'm telling you, I'm going to learn how to repair motorcycles, and if you wait at home, I'll definitely come and marry you!”
In the face of Xia Dongwei's anxiety, I had to give up the idea of jumping out of the window and promised to wait for him. Xia Dongwei went to another county and worked as an apprentice in a motorcycle repair shop.
And I listened to my father and went to learn hairdressing at the barber shop that my sister owned in the county seat.
When I was 22 years old, someone came to my house to say goodbye, a young man engaged in decoration, his father was a foreman, and his family was quite good. My parents were thrilled to hear this.
When I got home, the young man came to my house, and my mother prepared a sumptuous meal for him. But I watched coldly, eating on the steps with a bowl and refusing to eat with them.
The young man was embarrassed and took his leave after eating. My father was furious and threatened to beat me, but my mother persuaded me not to do anything.
I held my head high and said to my father, "Dad, Xia Dongwei has learned the craft, and he is about to come back to open a store." Don't want to marry me to someone else, I will not marry Xia Dongwei in my life!”
The mother persuaded: "Xiaohui, look at the conditions of Xia Dongwei's family, can't you two brothers find a good mother-in-law?"”
I snorted coldly twice and said firmly: "If you marry, you will marry Xia Dongwei, and the rest will not be considered." ”
The next day, I called Xia Dongwei and told him that the person he was looking for for me at home had come to the door to see how anxious he was.
As a result, Xia Dongwei immediately bought a ticket home. Now that his apprenticeship has expired, he has some savings on him, and he brought two bottles of gift wine and snacks, which cost dozens of yuan, and hurriedly came to my house to propose.
Coincidentally, the guy who was doing the renovation was called home by my dad. My dad was dumbfounded when he saw Xia Dongwei coming to the door with a gift. Two sons-in-law are here, but only one daughter is waiting for the boudoir, what can I do?
Seeing another young man in my house, the young man who was doing the renovation looked at my dad and my mom suspiciously.
My dad was embarrassed to chase people out on the spot, so he had to explain: "This, this is my distant nephew, who came to visit me today." ”
So, in addition to my dad, my mom, and me, there were two men at the lunch table glaring at each other.
Xia Dongwei stared at the other party hostilely, making the young man restless. After lunch, the young man made an excuse to leave in a hurry, which caused my father to roar
What are you still doing?What does our family owe you?What does it matter to you that Xiaohui is looking for someone?You're just running here to make trouble, see if I don't beat you!Stinky boy!”
The father held a broom and chased after Xia Dongwei, but Xia Dongwei was young and nimble and skillfully dodged. The father was afraid of alarming the neighbors, so he had to stop and glared at Xia Dongwei.
Xia Dongwei kept saying good things: "Uncle, fulfill us, I will work hard to earn money and honor you well." ”
The father insisted: "Impossible!."”
Xia Dongwei was not discouraged, but his parents did not agree, so he kept waiting at my house.
In those days, my family was busy harvesting rice in the fields. Xia Dongwei followed, actively participated, and worked harder than anyone else.
My parents were furious, but they couldn't do anything, no matter how they rushed, Xia Dongwei refused to leave.
In the evening, Xia Dongwei hurried home for dinner, and my parents were relieved, thinking that the plague god was gone. However, before it was completely dark, Xia Dongwei returned to my house and wandered in the yard.
At night, I felt sad in my heart, why didn't Xia Dongwei leave?Should he sleep in **?It was damp outside, and I was worried that he would catch a cold.
But I couldn't get out, and my father locked the gate from the inside. I can only wait and see how Xia Dongwei spends this night.
Early the next morning, I saw Xia Dongwei walking out of the cowshed with a straw on his head.
My family's cowshed has long since ceased to house cattle, and has become a firewood house. Xia Dongwei didn't go home, but spent the night in the straw pile in the cowshed.
He is so persistent, so that my parents stare at each other, crying and laughing.
For the next few days, Xia Dongwei stayed at my house, working with my parents. He only disappears when he eats, spends the rest of his time in the yard, and sleeps peacefully in the straw pile in the cowshed at night.
A week passed, and the neighbors learned about it and advised the father
The children of the Lao Xia family are really good, since he likes your daughters, you can fulfill them. Now that young people's marriages are not allowed to interfere with their parents, the thing of beating mandarin ducks can no longer happen!”
My parents were helpless, and when they saw Xia Dongwei being so persistent, they had to turn a blind eye and no longer object to my relationship with him.
When our parents acquiesce to our relationship, our hearts are filled with joy.
The following year, Xia Dongwei and I had a wedding with the blessing of our family. Since Xia Dongwei's family did not build a house, he has been living in our house and has become my son-in-law.
After we got married, we decided to go to the county town to do business. Xia Dongwei opened a motorcycle repair shop, while I opened a small hairdresser nearby. Every day is busy with their respective careers, but when they return to our cozy cottage in the evening, their hearts are filled with happiness and hope for the future.
With the change of the times, Xia Dongwei's motorcycle repair shop gradually evolved into a battery car shop. In order to better work together in my career, I closed the hairdresser and fully supported Xia Dongwei's business.
After we bought a house in the city, Xia Dongwei was very filial to my parents. We brought them to the city to live with us, and my father even helped to solicit business in front of Xia Dongwei's shop. He smiled and said to the customer, "This is my son-in-law's shop, choose ...... slowly."”
used to take a broom and want to get rid of Xia Dongwei's father, but now he has become a year-old friend with him who talks about everything. When I had a dispute with Xia Dongwei, my father would also help his relatives and stand on his son-in-law's side.
Time flies, and most of my life has passed. Today, Xia Dongwei's son and I are in graduate school. We once missed the university, and our son was successfully admitted to Zhejiang University, which made our family feel gratified.
Life is not impossible, as long as you have love and pursue your dreams bravely and persistently, you will eventually reap the spring blossoms and become the winner of life.
Do you think so?
