After dinner on the day he came back from grocery shopping with Brother Chengwa, he felt a little tired after a busy day of National Day. He wanted to lie on the brick bed for a while and stretch his waist, but the words of the brigade accountant Yang Maohe," Do what you need to do today, and don't delay it." No, the accounts for today's grocery purchases had not been settled yet. He quickly sat in front of his desk, took out the account book, and placed a stack of documents in front of him. Just then, the door of his cave was suddenly pushed open with a crash, and Long Fa barged in aggressively. As soon as he entered, he closed the door and sat down on the edge of the Kang without saying a word, lowering his head. Guo Qing saw his posture and felt that something was wrong. He was about to ask what was going on, but the door was pushed open again. The person who came in was his wife with dragon hair. She also looked angry. Guo Qing was stunned when he saw it.
The dragon-haired wife, Han Qiaozhi, was a pretty woman. She had a slim figure, an oval face, big eyes, and short hair that reached her ears. She didn't smile or speak when she saw people, and she blushed whenever she spoke. These were the first impressions she left on National Day, but today's images were very different.
Long Fage often drove the carriages for the brigade's side team, so he rarely had the chance to visit his home during National Day. He only met Han Qiaozhi up close last year when he visited Long Fage's home for New Year's. He hadn't stayed at Long Fa's house for long, but they had been so clingy in front of National Day that even National Day blushed. At that time, he had been envious of this young couple during National Day. He felt that young couples were probably this close. They hadn't gotten married on National Day yet, so they hadn't experienced the sweet and happy feeling of a couple's love. No wonder young people were so enthusiastic when it came to marrying a wife or son-in-law.
Han Qiaozhi was from Zhaozhuang Commune in the county town, and her father, Han Fajia, was the director of Zhaozhuang Commune's agricultural machinery repair plant. During the Great Leap Forward in 1958, the county transferred more than 1,000 strong young men from various communities to form a militarized militia group and drove them to Phoenix Mountain in the county to refine steel. Han Fajia and Long Fa's father, Li Jincai, were in a company. Han Fajia was the company commander, and Li Jincai was the deputy company commander. They led hundreds of young men to load the iron ore mined from the mountain into a small blast furnace made of clay and start a fire to make iron. The two of them lived in a cave dwelling on the mountain for the whole winter. They only practiced a few black things that looked like glass before they left Phoenix Mountain and went back to their villages. The steel was not refined, but Han Fajia and Li Jincai became a pair of good brothers. They kept in touch during the holidays. Han Fajia's daughter, Han Qiaozhi, was two years younger than Li Jincai's only son, Long Fa. Before the two children became adults, Han Fajia had already planned to marry his daughter, Han Qiaozhi, to Li Longfa. The reason why he was willing to marry his daughter from the flat plains, from the blessed nest where she worked for 70 to 80 cents a day, to the small mountain village of Green Pine Ridge, which could not be compared to Zhao Village Commune in all aspects, was because he liked Long Fa's rich family. Long Fa was an only child, and his parents were also well-known for their ability. The front and backyard of the house were very spacious, and the family had never lacked food and flowers. Besides, Han Qiaozhi liked Long Fa the moment they met. Although Long Fa was not very cultured, he was tall and handsome. From his speech and eyes, Qiaozhi could tell that he was a clever person. He must be very capable to drive a carriage at a young age. In the eyes of the dragon hair family, Han Qiaozhi's height, appearance, and the quick-wittedness of her movements were also unquestionable. Therefore, the two families were very generous in terms of betrothal gifts, wedding dowry, wedding invitations, and so on. There was no competition at all and they became in-laws in one breath. After marriage, Long Fa's parents treated Qiao Zhi like their own daughter, and Qiao Zhi also knew how to be filial. Even though they had been married for three years and Qiao Zhi had not been happy yet, the family still lived a happy life, making the neighbors jealous.
Guo Qing glanced at his wife with long hair and quickly gave up his seat to her. He shouted,"Sister-in-law, why are you willing to visit my humble house today? What kind of wind blew the two of you here?”
"Guo Wa, let's cut the chatter. You're giving us a recommendation letter?”Qiao Zhi said angrily.
"What recommendation letter? Where are you going?”
"Divorce at the community!" Dragon Hair roared.
Only then did Guo Qing take a closer look at Han Qiaozhi. He saw that her face was filled with anger, her hair was a little messy, and there seemed to be tears on her cheeks. She was completely different from the beautiful and cheerful young woman he had seen the first time.
National Day did not understand the inside story and had no idea how to face this sudden crisis. He was silent for a moment, thinking that it was better to ease the current tense atmosphere. He smiled at Qiao Zhi and said," Sister-in-law, you've never been to my house before. It's your first time here, and you're already so angry. You even want me to write a recommendation letter for you. Do you think that just because your brother has this little power, he can give you special treatment and get in through the back door?”After saying this, Guo Qing smiled and glanced at her, but she was not amused by this humor. Her face was still shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
Guo Qing turned to Long Fa and asked in a slightly reproachful tone,"Brother Long Fa, it's time to fight for food. Everyone is so busy. What's wrong with you and sister-in-law?”
"Guo Wa, stop nagging. Write a recommendation letter and we'll leave immediately!”Guo Qing could tell that Long Fa was obviously impatient. It seemed that Guo Qing was putting on airs in front of him and deliberately gave him a difficult problem.
Seeing Long Fa like this, Guo Qing immediately became impolite and asked sternly,""Brother Long Fa, why do you want a divorce? You have to tell me clearly. We are a good couple, but you suddenly want me to write a divorce recommendation letter for you. Think about it, no matter how silly I am, how could I do such a stupid thing?”
"Then ask her what she did.”Long Fa glared at Qiao Zhi.
"Let's talk about you first. Tell the national child about the disgusting things you did!”Qiao Zhi seemed to be even angrier.
"What disgusting thing did I do? You still have the face to say that? Why don't you tell me how you cheated on her?”
Guo Qing was a little confused when he heard this. How could Long Fa say that his wife was cheating on him? Could it be that Qiao Zhi was stealing from his family? How was that possible?
Long Fa saw that Guo Qing didn't understand his words, so he said bluntly,""This afternoon, I came back from the car. The moment I entered the house, I saw her pulling Xusheng into her arms. Their lips were almost kissing. When Xusheng saw me, he immediately pushed her away and ran out the door with a red face. I really regret not killing this adulterous couple!”
"Didn't you force me to do that?”Qiao Zhi took out a two-inch photo from her pocket and handed it to Guo Xing."Guo Wa, look, I found this in his shirt when I was washing his jacket. Ask him where this slut came from.”
National Day raised the two-inch photo in front of him. It was a black-and-white photo painted with oil paint. It was a bust of a young woman. The woman was dressed fashionably and had a perm. She was indeed quite beautiful, but her face was full of coquettish and lewd looks. Guo Qing waved the photo in front of Long Fa's eyes and asked,""Brother Long Fa, who is this woman?”Long Fa immediately reached out to grab it, but Guo Qing stuffed the photo into his pocket and refused to give it to anyone.
At this point, both of them felt that there was no need to hide anymore. They tried their best to expose each other's shortcomings, but they didn't scold each other ruthlessly. Guo Qing's doctor did not say anything until he listened to the two of them quietly. Only then did he sort out the whole matter according to his own analysis.
Long Fa spent more time outside than at home. In addition, he was physically strong, energetic, and had more space in his hands. Every day, he saw the colorful world outside in the car. Besides, he was tall, strong, and capable, so he was very popular with women. Therefore, it was easy for him to have a relationship with a waitress in a carriage shop. After a while, the two of them were like dry firewood and fire. At present, they had reached a state where they could not be separated for a moment.
He had hidden this matter very well, and no one in the family knew about it. However, when Qiao Zhi was washing Long Fa's clothes, she suddenly found a photo of a gorgeous and coquettish woman in his shirt pocket. She looked at this strange woman she had never seen before and immediately felt a headache. At this moment, her heart suddenly lit up. No wonder Long Fa was always hungry and eager to see her when he returned home. As long as his parents were not at home, he would pull her to bed and pour his stormy love on her. In those days, she was happy and intoxicated by Long Fa's passionate feelings. Although Long Fa would come back for a night every now and then, as long as Long Fa left, she would draw lines on the wall of the house, hoping for Long Fa's return. However, since the beginning of the first month of this year, Long Fa had always said that he had a lot of things to do and was busy with work. The number of times he went home was getting lesser and lesser. Even Long Fa's parents were a little puzzled. Even though these things could be seen on the surface, the two old men did not know about the private life of the young couple. Qiao Zhi could sense the secret with her woman's instinct and intuition. In the beginning, she only felt that the frequency of Long Fa coming home had decreased. Later on, she realized why Long Fa had suddenly become so cold and heartless when he came home. It was as if this family was the same without her. Even when he came back occasionally, he was cold and indifferent. When they lay in bed at night, Long Fa always turned his back and pretended to be asleep. Although she teased him on purpose, the dragon hair always said listlessly, Stop fooling around, I'm tired! She wondered if he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to deal with her.
After Han Qiaozhi found the photo of that flirtatious woman that day, she quietly hid it and did not say anything. However, from then on, he did not treat Long Fa well. He threw plates and bowls to embarrass him, making his parents not know what was going on between their son and daughter-in-law, and it was even more difficult for them to interrupt. One night, after the night was quiet, Qiao Zhi couldn't hold it in anymore. She woke Long Fa up and interrogated him about the photo. However, Long Fa didn't tell the truth. He said that he didn't know this woman. He said that he picked her up by chance at the entrance of a photo studio. He saw that the photo looked good, so he hid it quietly.
Qiao Zhi didn't believe Long Fa's explanation at all, but she didn't want to make this matter public before she got real evidence.
As the days passed, the lonely Qiao Zhi couldn't get the caress of the dragon's hair. Her heart felt empty and very uncomfortable. She often looked forward to the fiery love life of the past. Finally, one day, a handsome man barged into her life. This was the current party secretary, Wen Xusheng.
It was a day after spring this year. Qiao Zhi was pulling a cart full of animal manure alone on a slope. Because the slope was too long, or perhaps Qiao Zhi was too tired that day, she bent over and pulled forward with all her might. The swaying carriage was about to fall back from the slope. At this moment, the car suddenly became lighter and sped forward, causing Qiao Zhi to stagger. When they reached the top of the slope, Qiao Zhi turned around and saw Vice-Captain Wen Xusheng pushing the cart. She smiled and nodded to express her gratitude. However, the moment they looked at each other, their faces turned red at the same time. Neither of them said anything. After climbing the slope, Wen Xusheng strode away. After walking for a long distance, he said,"Someone has to stand here and push at the critical moment. Otherwise, it'll be too tiring.”
Xu Sheng walked far away, but Qiao Zhi's heart was beating fiercely. Xu Sheng was about the same age and height as Long Fa, but he was a retired soldier who graduated from high school, while Long Fa was a driver who graduated from primary school. Comparing the two men in her heart, Qiao Zhi immediately fell in love with Wen Xusheng. However, Qiao Zhi knew very well that Xusheng's wife and Xusheng were classmates in high school. They were free to fall in love, but Xusheng's wife was sick all year round. She was as thin as a stick. It was said that she had lung consumption. Let alone working on the fields, even if she sat at home as an adult, she would still be weak. She couldn't even cook well. Other than taking medicine and injections, she couldn't do anything. Who knew, she might leave Xusheng one day and die. Thinking of this, Qiao Zhi suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her heart. Why didn't she hope for the best for him? Although she knew that she shouldn't have any improper thoughts about Wen Xusheng, from that day on, Wen Xusheng's figure kept flashing in front of her eyes like a slide show.
In the days that followed, Qiao Zhi met Wen Xusheng in her dream during the difficult night of staying alone in the empty room. She dreamed that she and Wen Xusheng became a family. They respected each other and loved each other. They worked together during the day and talked about their daily life under the lamp at night. She also dreamed that they had a child. The child was innocent and lively, and he was as smart as Wen Xusheng.
But dreams were dreams, after all, it was what she wanted. When she opened her eyes, the reality was still the same. She could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, whenever she was working in the team or in a meeting, she would always involuntarily approach him, always wanting to talk to him. Especially after Xu Sheng became the secretary of the brigade, Qiao Zhi's desire became even stronger. Finally, this morning, when they were cleaning up the wheat field together, Wen Xusheng asked her,""Qiaozhi, I asked Long Fa to bring me two books. Didn't you hear him say if he bought them?”
Qiao Zhi finally waited for Wen Xusheng to take the initiative to talk to her and immediately replied happily,""What book did you ask him to bring you?"
"One is about the marsh gas pool, and the other is about the 'Jinza No. 5' sorghum'.”Wen Xusheng explained to her.
After listening to Wen Xusheng's words, she remembered that Long Fa had placed two books on the table when he came home a few days ago. At that time, although she felt that it was new, she did not want to ask him about the two books because she was angry. It just felt funny, humph, dung beetle got into the fire sickle box-pretending to be a fire stone! You still want to read with those two moves? However, when she heard that the two books were for Wen Xusheng, Qiao Zhi immediately felt happy. She felt that this was a good opportunity to get close to Wen Xusheng, so she casually said,"I saw two books on the table at my house. It might have been that bastard who brought them back and placed them there, but I didn't see what books they were. Why don't you come and take a look after work?”
"Alright!" Wen Xusheng answered casually. Since Long Fa's house was not far from the courtyard, he could pick it up when he passed by on his way home.
Finally, when it was time to get off work, Han Qiaozhi and Wen Xusheng followed him to his door. Qiao Zhi took out the key from her pocket and unlocked the door. Wen Xusheng looked at it and asked,"What's wrong? Uncle and Auntie aren't at home either?"”
"No, isn't it April 28th today? Their faces are all in the market.”As she said that, she entered the courtyard, threw down her tools, and entered the city of Amoy where she and Long Fa lived.
When Wen Xusheng saw that Uncle, Auntie, and Long Fa were not around, and Qiao Zhi was the only young daughter-in-law at home, he hesitated and did not want to go in. However, he thought,'Let's just take the letter and leave. What's there to be afraid of?' If he turned around and left, he would not be able to explain to Qiao Zhi. He entered Qiaozhi's city of Amoy openly, but just as he stepped into the door of Amoy, he was hugged tightly by Qiaozhi. She rested her head on Wen Xusheng's shoulder, trembling with excitement. Han Qiaozhi's sudden action scared Wen Xusheng. He pushed Qiao Zhi's shoulders away with both hands and said with a red face,""Qiaozhi, I don't dare to do this. What if others see us?”
"There are only the two of us at home today. Who would know? Brother Xusheng, I like you!" As she spoke, she boldly hugged Wen Xusheng's neck and wanted to kiss him.
At this moment, Li Longfa coughed and stood in the courtyard. Wen Xusheng looked back and felt ashamed, but he still quickly explained,"Long Fa, don't misunderstand. I'm here to pick up the book.”As he spoke, he walked to the table, picked up the two books, and turned to leave.
" What misunderstanding?" Dragon Hair shouted angrily." I saw it so clearly. How could I have misunderstood?"”
Wen Xusheng walked up to the dragon and said with a trembling voice,""Long Fa, it's not what you think. I did come to pick up the book, but I didn't expect it to be like this.”After saying that, he quickly left the door.
Before Wen Xusheng could step out of the door, Han Qiaozhi exploded and shouted,""Don't ask him, and don't blame him. I pulled him along!”As she spoke, she laid on the brick bed and started crying.
At this moment, Long Fa felt his entire body go soft and his head go numb. He suddenly hugged his head and squatted down in the courtyard. After a while, he returned to the house and said calmly,"I don't think we can live like this anymore. Let's get a divorce!”
" So be it. Who's afraid of you?"
When they quarreled, neither of them was willing to submit to the other. The more they quarreled, the fiercer their tone became. The more they quarreled, the more determined they became. However, when the two old men returned from the market in the city, the two of them pretended that nothing had happened. After dinner, they went to Guoqing's house at the same time and asked Guoqing to give them a divorce recommendation letter, ready to go to the community to settle the procedures.
After listening to this very simple and ordinary love affair, Guo Qing did not feel strange or surprised. It was similar to the love stories he usually saw in novels and movies. But what surprised him was how the new Party Secretary could be involved in this matter. If this matter were to spread, the impact would be huge. This was not an ordinary relationship between a man and a woman! National Day felt a little tricky.
What should he do? Guoqing thought that he must first stabilize Long Fa and Qiaozhi. He must not publicize this matter, and he must not make this matter big and out of control.
When the husband and wife were done talking, there was no point. "Long Fa Bro, Sister-in-law, you've been talking for a long time. Listen to me," Guo Qing said. I hope none of you will interrupt me while I am speaking. If I'm right, please accept it. If I'm wrong, it's equivalent to a gust of wind. Don't care. First of all, I want to say that both of you have done something wrong. Both of you have done something that is intolerable between husband and wife. You can say that you have done something ugly. It is a scandal that cannot be told to anyone. If the two of you go out and spread rumors about this matter everywhere, I'd like to see how the two of you will go out in the future. So, whatever you said just now, don't say it to anyone else. Second, I want to say, Long Fa bro, you should take the main responsibility for this. You were the one who was disloyal first. Sister-in-law draws lines on the wall every day. What does that mean? She's waiting for you! But you ran wild outside and your eyes went blurry. You learned to do those indecent things! Long Fa bro, she's just a woman you met by chance, how could she have feelings for you? What does she see in you? Isn't it just because she likes the few yuan in your pocket? How is it love? It would be foolish to say that she loved you! Do you know how many people are on good terms with him? She got together with you for money and for a moment of pleasure, but you kept her photo in your pocket and missed her every day. You even looked down on sister-in-law and even wanted a divorce. Just give it a try. If you really divorce Sister-in-law, see if she will marry you. You're too naive! However, Sister-in-law, you also have a problem. I have to say a few words to you. Brother Long Fa was confused and did something wrong. You can tell your in-laws. Why can't you stand the loneliness and go to cure your Qi and secretly get together with someone else? Think about it, Xusheng is a cadre of the brigade and a party member. Would he dare to divorce his seriously ill wife and marry you? The law doesn't allow it! Besides, he and his wife are free to fall in love. Their relationship is deep. How can you compare? Besides, you're in love with her. What kind of feelings does she have for you? Why is such a smart person like you so muddle-headed about this matter? Thirdly, I hope that the two of you will think about your personal mistakes when you go back. From today onwards, you will cut off all ties with the past. No one can mention the past again. As long as the two of you reconcile, everything will go smoothly and disappear. As for Xusheng, I think he's a person who cares about his reputation. Today's matter made you all look bad. I guarantee that as long as you hold on to him steadily in the future, Xusheng won't do anything to you. Brother Long Fa, for the happiness of you and your sister-in-law, for the harmony of your family, why don't you stop running around in the future and take charge of the side team? If you agree, I can help you talk about it. I don't think it's difficult.”
As Guo Qing spoke, he would occasionally look at the expressions of the long-haired man and Qiao Zhi. Qiao Zhi's face turned from white to red, and she lowered her head deeply. Her dragon hair seemed to be regretful as she kept blinking and sighing.
When National Day had finished all the bad things for them, Long Fa and Qiao Zhi were still deep in regret and contemplation. They looked at each other as if they had something to say. However, National Day immediately stopped them and said,"Long Fa Bro, Sister-in-law, don't say anything. We'll talk about it when we get back. I hope you'll consider the three points I just mentioned. If you decide to get a divorce after serious consideration, you can come back tomorrow morning. I won't stop you.”After saying that, she stood up and was about to send them off. Long Fa, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and patted Guo Qing's shoulder.""Guoqing, I just said some angry words to you. Don't blame me.”
Qiao Zhi also said embarrassedly,"Guo Wa, the embarrassing things that Sister-in-law did are all in the past. Don't teach it to others."?”With that, he turned around and left.
It was late at night when a cuckoo flew across the sky and called out in a long voice,"Cuckoo-cuckoo." Guo Qing sent them out and gently closed the door, but he did not go home immediately. He stood inside the door and listened for a while. He heard Qiao Zhi say,"If you don't feel embarrassed, why are you pulling me?"
With that, the two of them fought each other in the alley and walked away. National Day let out a long sigh.
