Chapter 78 The poor little guy who was killed by his uncle 34
Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded shyly, "Brother Cheng Fang, please ask the village chief's grandma to be the matchmaker. I have a pound of brown sugar here. You can Add ten eggs and use them as matchmaking gifts."
She and Cheng Fang established their relationship when she was sixteen.
Cheng Fang has been waiting for her to grow up.
Now that she is an adult, their marriage should be put on the agenda.
When Cheng Fang saw that she had agreed, he smiled like an idiot, "Well, then I will go find the village chief grandma now, I..."
"Brother Cheng Fang, what are you in a hurry? Finish your meal first. Let’s go tomorrow.”
Halfway through the meal, he wanted to run away, but Yuanchun quickly stopped him and said, “It doesn’t take a day to get married. It takes two days, not less than one night."
Cheng Fang chuckled, "Aren't I in a hurry? I can't wait to marry you home. No, I plan to marry you, Yuanchun, I am. I want to marry into your family.”
Yuan Chun was stunned, “Brother Cheng Fang, you want to marry into your family?”
Then he asked, "Is it because of your dad?"
Cheng Fang's smile disappeared, and he grunted, "I'm worried that after we get married, he will disturb you when I'm not at home, and I will be the only one to marry you. Now that he has become the Liu family’s son-in-law, he will not dare to trouble you.”
Speaking of Cheng Fang’s father, Cheng Ping, he is also a strange person.
In 1960, there was a severe drought. Cheng Ping suddenly came to Xiaxi Village and asked Cheng Fang for food for one of his children. He also said that his family was about to starve to death.
Although Cheng Ping left Cheng Fang to be his son-in-law and no longer cared about Cheng Fang's life and death, there was still a place for him as a father in Cheng Fang's heart.
He couldn't just watch his father starve to death, so he gave him a bag of grain.
After that, Cheng Ping would come to get food every month.
Every time I come here, I cry about poverty and hunger.
Cheng Fang was kind-hearted and would give him a small bag of grain every time.
Later, when Cheng Fang ran out of food, Cheng Ping immediately turned his back on him and forced him to borrow it from the villagers.
It was the summer of 1960, the last moment of the drought, and the time when food was most scarce. Even in Xiaxi Village, which had been well prepared, many families were without food. At that time, food was life.
Cheng Fang didn’t have the nerve to borrow it, so he was beaten by Cheng Ping.
For the next two years, Cheng Ping never came to Xiaxi Village again.
Cheng Fang relied on Yuanchun's support to survive the most difficult months.
It wasn't until 1963 that Cheng Fang got his junior high school diploma and went to work in the county transportation team, and Cheng Ping appeared again.
Cheng Ping shamelessly asked Cheng Fang to transfer the work to his stepson.
Cheng Fang said, "Has your stepson ever read a book? Although the transportation team is just a driver and loader, you still need a junior high school diploma to join."
Cheng Ping knew that he would not get a job. Finally, he shamelessly asked Cheng Fang to hand over his salary to his father for safekeeping.
At that time, Cheng Fang was only 18 years old and had just joined the transportation team. He was still an apprentice worker who could not drive, and his monthly salary was only 18 yuan.
18 yuan is already a huge amount of money for rural people.
Of course Cheng Fang refused to agree.
In the drought year, after Cheng Ping took away all his food and ignored his life and death, Cheng Fang completely lost his feelings for this father.
He didn’t want to give Cheng Ping a penny.
I don’t even want to encourage his greed.
Cheng Fang called the village chief and team leader and asked to sever ties with Cheng Ping, but Cheng Ping disagreed, saying that Cheng Fang owed him the gift of giving birth and five years of upbringing. The house where Cheng Fang lived was also He belongs to Cheng Ping.
If you want to sever the relationship, fine, return the favor and the house to him first.
