Chapter 192: The stars turn to determine the good marriage, the phoenix seeks the phoenix before the
Xiao Jianhua stayed in the countryside for a year and then returned to the city.
After returning to the city, he missed Zhang Guixiang more and more and began to write letters.
However, Zhang Guixiang was illiterate. After receiving the letter, she only recognized a few words, which were taught by Xiao Jianhua.
She was too embarrassed to ask someone else to read it to her, for fear that her father would break his legs if someone told her.
When I reached marriageable age, many people came to me to propose marriage.
Chang Jinbao is one of them.
Zhang Guixiang's father is the village chief, and Chang Jinbao's uncle is also the village chief.
In Zhang Guixiang's father's opinion, this is a perfect match.
In addition, Chang Jinbao is handsome, and his family is very satisfied with him.
Zhang Guixiang was ignorant, and there was no trace of love in her education.
We got engaged before the Spring Festival and will get married in the spring.
Xiao Jianhua came during the Spring Festival.
But he was late.
Upon learning that Zhang Guixiang was engaged, Xiao Jianhua regretted deeply that he should have come earlier instead of writing a letter.
Zhang Guixiang didn't come out either, so my father received her.
After the greetings, Xiao Jianhua said that he would also attend the wedding.
Xiao Jianhua attended the wedding of Zhang Guixiang and Chang Jinbao. He didn't make a fuss, but just drank and got drunk.
He had a good relationship with Zhang Guixiang's elder brother and they were of similar age, so Chang Jinbao just treated him as a friend.
After Xiao Jianhua got his work done smoothly, he was assigned to the Animal Husbandry Station.
Go to the countryside often.
At first, he just looked for Brother Zhang Guixiang and went to her house for dinner, but later he occasionally called Chang Jinbao.
Later, he also went to Chang Jinbao's house.
Let’s just not see each other. But when Xiao Jianhua saw Zhang Guixiang again, his heart was still beating fast.
Chang Jinbao's family is not rich.
Chang Jinbao is the eldest of six brothers and sisters.
I barely went to school for three years and gave the opportunity to my younger brothers and sisters.
Since his father did not take care of the family, Chang Jinbao started working hard at the age of fifteen to earn work points and support his family.
He took on the heavy responsibility of being the head of the family early on.
In 1977, at the end of the year, Xiao Jianhua came again.
Xiao Jianhua and Chang Jinbao were drinking.
Zhang Guixiang is more than three months pregnant and is busy in the kitchen.
Zhang Guixiang prepared the meal and brought it into the main room.
There were voices of people selling apples outside. Hearing the voices, Zhang Guixiang stood at the door, looked out, and swallowed.
Chang Jinbao asked, "Don't look at it, I don't have money to buy it."
Zhang Guixiang said, "They said we could exchange it for food."
Chang Jinbao snorted: "How can there be so much food? There are so many people at home!"
Zhang Guixiang said nothing and left the hall.
Xiao Jianhua looked at Zhang Guixiang with pity and said nothing.
When I left, I bought five pounds of apples and quietly put them in the kitchen.
But this apple caused trouble.
After Xiao Jianhua left, Zhang Guixiang found apples in the kitchen and thought they were bought by Chang Jinbao. She was happy and greedy, so she quickly washed them and ate them.
Chang Jinbao saw Zhang Guixiang eating an apple and then looked at the big bag of apples on the ground, and he became furious.
He thought Zhang Guixiang had exchanged it for food.
He pulled out the fire poker in front of the stove and swung it towards Zhang Guixiang.
Zhang Guixiang was caught off guard and had a miscarriage due to the shock!
When Chang Jinbao's mother came back, she was furious. She picked up a shovel and hit Chang Jinbao a few times.
"You beat up a woman just for a few apples, you're pretty capable, right?"
Chang Jinbao was filial and would have a bad face from then on, but he never hit Zhang Guixiang again.
The next year, Zhang Guixiang became pregnant again, and the baby was Zhaodi.
At the end of the year, Xiao Jianhua came and was surprised to see Zhang Guixiang's condition.
I talked to Chang Jinbao, and Chang Jinbao downplayed the incident, saying only that she had a miscarriage before.
Zhang Guixiang served dishes and rice with her head down and didn't say a word, but it was obvious that she looked sad.
At the end of 1982, Xiao Jianhua was getting married and went to invite Zhang Guixiang's father and brother.
It just so happened that Zhang Guixiang took Zhaodi back to her parents' home.
My brother came to my father's house. It was winter and they had nothing to do, so they drank together.
It was the first snow of the winter that day, and it snowed heavily.
Xiao Jianhua and Zhang Guixiang's brother drank a lot of wine.
In the evening, Chang Jinbao also came and they drank together. Chang Jinbao drank less, and Zhang Guixiang's brother insisted on Chang Jinbao and asked him to take him home.
Chang Jinbao saw that his brother-in-law was drunk, so he helped someone to take him home.
One kilometer is not a long distance, but this brother-in-law is tall and strong, and he has been drinking, so he looks very heavy.
It snowed and the road was difficult to walk on.
Chang Jinbao fell down several times on the way, and it took him half an hour to complete the journey that should have taken more than ten minutes.
Seeing that it was getting late and Zhaodi was craving for sleep, Zhang Guixiang coaxed Zhaodi to go to the kang in the room to sleep first.
It was late and snowing, so Xiao Jianhua also stayed there.
Encouraged by alcohol, Xiao Jianhua found his way to the room where Zhang Guixiang was sleeping.
It was dark and there was no light in the room. Zhang Guixiang thought it was Chang Jinbao and Zhaodi had fallen asleep.
Zhang Guixiang felt something was not right when they were having sex, but it was too late.
Xiao Jianhua ran away after finishing his work, and Zhang Guixiang felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
When Chang Jinbao came back, he cursed his brother-in-law and had no place to vent his anger. Zhang Guixiang was in a mess and before she could even get over it, Chang Jinbao came at her again...
Xiao Jianhua didn't know when he ran away.
Zhang Guixiang didn’t dare to say it!
Because she had been pregnant twice before, Zhang Guixiang felt it as soon as she became pregnant this time and discovered it very early.
Although he was nervous, Chang Jinbao was happy. No matter what, he hoped to have a son.
When the baby was three months old, Zhang Guixiang wanted to see a doctor. In case it was not a son, she would not want to keep it.
Chang Jinbao thought it was reasonable.
After taking the pulse, the Chinese doctor concluded that it was still a daughter.
Zhang Guixiang was prescribed several prescriptions of Chinese medicine, and she took them seriously. After she finished the medicine, her stomach felt better.
She also heard that drinking something with something could help with weight loss, so Zhang Guixiang tried it. After drinking the strong liquor, her stomach was still fine.
Grandma advised, "Forget it, this child is lucky. If you continue to suffer like this, it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future."
What really made Zhang Guixiang give up the abortion was a miraculous thing.
At that time, the baby was already five months old and the pregnancy was obvious.
In the afternoon, Zhang Guixiang was sitting in the yard of her home when a monk in a blue robe, holding a rice bowl, walked into the yard without asking any questions.
Zhang Guixiang glanced at the rice bowl in the monk's hand and stood up:
"Master, we only have freshly cooked porridge. Please don't be disgusted."
Zhang Guixiang went to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of porridge, walked up to the monk, and poured it into the rice bowl.
The monk smiled with his eyes narrowed, "Thank you very much, benefactor!"
The monk looked at Zhang Guixiang's belly and said, "What a blessing! A match made in heaven! What a blessed person!"
Zhang Guixiang looked embarrassed. "Master, I don't tell fortunes. I don't have any money."
"I gave it to you!"
The monk left the courtyard and walked for a while before singing a line of lyrics: "The rotation of the stars determines a good match, and before the cries of the phoenix, they are already together and seeking the phoenix."
Zhang Guixiang listened in a daze and could not understand the following poems.
But she was content to hear “blessed ones.”
She touched her belly and smiled, "This must be a blessed child. After all, he worked so hard to survive!"
From then on, abortion was no longer considered.
In September 1983, Zhang Guixiang had a difficult delivery. When the baby was born, one arm came out first. Seeing that the baby was dying, she was sent to the hospital for a caesarean section.
It's a girl again, Chang Jinbao's actions say it all.
Fortunately, I met the kind-hearted Lin Xianglan, who gave me milk powder, nutritional supplements, and a nice name for my child: Lele!
