My daughter-in-law and I have been married for decades, but when it comes to the first meeting between the two of us, we can completely describe it as "awkward".
In the summer of '89, I watched the watermelon stall for my uncle on the side of the road, and the uncle was a very thrifty person, and the good watermelons would be kept for sale, and the watermelons that were about to spoil would be eaten by themselves.
The watermelon planted by Uncle is very sweet and very crisp, just need to flick it with your fingers, and the watermelon can be split in half directly, so many nearby villagers will ask him to buy watermelons to eat.
So every summer, I would sell watermelons for my uncle, and my uncle would go to the field to pick watermelons and transport them, but because the watermelons grown by my uncle were too crispy, they were very easy to be damaged during transportation.
He didn't want to throw away the watermelon for nothing, so he would let me eat it, and sometimes I would have diarrhea if I ate too much watermelon, and because I had to guard the watermelon stand, I didn't dare to run too far.
So every time I had diarrhea, I would hide in the grass nearby to solve it, and this day I ate too much watermelon, which caused my stomach to hurt very much.
I immediately took a paper and ran to the grass not far from the watermelon stall for convenience, it can be said that this time the diarrhea was more serious than before, so I squatted in the grass for a long time.
Just when I felt better about my stomach, I saw a very innocent-looking girl walking straight towards me, I thought this girl would also be convenient, so I quickly wiped my buttocks.
But the "pain" in my stomach hit again, and there was no way to hold it, so I could only continue to release the pressure in my stomach, thinking that if this girl saw that I was convenient, she should change places to facilitate it.
However, after this girl "saw" me, she still walked towards me regardless of it, and my heart was also very embarrassed, so I could only wipe my ass immediately and put on my pants.
When I stood up, the girl was already walking beside me, and I resisted the embarrassment and said to her, "Girl, I have already made this place convenient, do you want to change ......the place?"
The girl's face turned red at hearing my voice, and without saying a word she ran elsewhere, but because there were more stones in the grass, she fell directly to the ground.
Seeing that the girl had fallen, I quickly helped the girl up, but her face turned even redder, and even her left foot stepped on the I had just pulled, and I also blushed.
But when I helped her, I found that she couldn't see me at all, and then I realized that she was blind, so I quickly helped her to my watermelon stand.
And asked the girl to take off her shoes and wash her casually, at first the girl was very reluctant, but until I told her that she stepped on the, she was shy to take them off.
When I was cleaning the girl's shoes, I asked her why she was here alone, because this road leads to the county seat, and there are a lot of vehicles coming and going, so it is very dangerous for blind people to walk on the road.
But she didn't speak, and when she saw that the girl's mouth was dry, she cut a good watermelon for her to eat, and at first she was very embarrassed, but after handing it to her, she still feasted on it.
It can be seen that she is also very thirsty, after all, the sun is relatively big at noon, and she must be tired and hungry after walking alone for such a long time.
There were no shops on this road, only a few stall owners selling watermelons, so I basically judged that she hadn't eaten, so I gave her the food that my uncle brought to me.
When I put the food in front of her, she suddenly burst into tears, to be honest, how old she was, the first time she saw a blind man crying, the scene was so heart-wrenching.
I said to her, "Girl, if you really encounter something, you can tell me, and the eldest brother will definitely help you!"
I saw her wipe away her tears with her hands, and began to gobble up the food, and got up to leave after eating, originally planning to send her, but the watermelon stall is indeed inseparable from people.
So she could only be careful on the road, and after the girl left, she found that there were five yuan under the watermelon next to the stall, and then she found out that she had secretly left it.
The five dollars are very wrinkled, it should be that she has been saving for a long time, and she originally wanted to return the five dollars to her, but she found that she had already left the watermelon stall.
However, I didn't give the five dollars to my uncle, but secretly put them in my pocket, thinking that if I could see her again one day, I would definitely return it to her.
In the evening, the uncle came to collect the watermelon for me, and suddenly saw half a watermelon on the stall, he suspected that I was greedy and secretly ate a good watermelon, but I didn't explain, just scolded the uncle.
When I returned home at night, I still couldn't forget this girl in my mind, although her eyes couldn't see, but her facial features were very delicate.
If she is not blind, she must also be a beautiful woman in the village, and now that her eyes are blind, most peasant families will naturally dislike her.
Half a year has passed, and I haven't seen this girl again, but there is a happy event in the next village, it turns out that Wang Cripple, who has been single for a long time, has found a partner.
Wang Cripple is over 40 years old this year, and his temper is also very irritable, and when he was young, he was lame because of a fight with people from a neighboring village.
Since then, many people in the village have called him Wang lame, because of his lame leg and his very bad temper, it is difficult to find a partner in the village, which also makes him single for a long time.
But now I heard the happy event of Wang Cripple, which also made many people in the village feel very curious, which girl is willing to marry her.
The ability to gossip in the village is still very strong, and I soon found out that Wang Cripple had found a blind man from another village, and the lame man matched the blind man, which also made many people look at the joke.
On this day, there were many onlookers at the door of the king's lame house, and it turned out that the woman wanted to discuss the marriage with the man, and to see how much the bride price was from his family, and then marry the girl to him if it was appropriate.
So many people in the village went to see what was going on, so I also went to see the excitement together, and I saw Wang Cripple and the woman's family talking about marriage.
When I saw the woman's clearly, I was also completely stunned, it turned out that this girl was the girl who "looked" at me that day, and she was discussing marriage with Wang Cripple.
However, there was no happy emotion on her face, but her crying swollen eyes, and the woman's family and the man's family were bargaining for the bride price, and she sat silently next to her.
This also made me vaguely feel that she didn't want to marry the lame king, so I asked the people in the village about this girl to see what happened to her.
It turned out that this girl's name was Wang Caifeng, and her life experience was also very pitiful, when she was born, her parents abandoned her, because there were already two girls in the family.
Her parents mainly wanted a boy, but fortunately they were picked up by a kind mother-in-law in the village, and Caifeng's eyes were not blind at that time.
It was only when she had a high fever when she was a child, and her mother-in-law was old after all, so she was not taken for timely treatment, which caused her to become blind and blind.
Later, the mother-in-law died, Caifeng also grew up, and the distant cousin of the mother-in-law took her away and adopted her, mainly because Caifeng can not only work, but also make a bride price at the end.
It can be said that as long as the price given by Wang Cripple is high enough, Caifeng will definitely be able to marry him, after all, the woman's family wants money.
But Wang Cripple felt that the woman was not worth such a high bride price, so he kept pulling with them, after all, Caifeng's eyes couldn't see, so he wanted to find a wife cheaply.
I was also very uncomfortable after listening to Caifeng's story, and even remembered that she cried in front of me that day, so I also wanted to return the five yuan to her.
Seeing that Wang Cripple finally broke up with the woman, it may be that the price between the two parties was not negotiated, the woman felt that the price given by Wang Cripple was too low, and he felt that the woman wanted too high.
When the crowd dispersed, I also quietly followed Caifeng, only to see that Caifeng's family didn't care about her at all, they felt that Caifeng's eyes were blind, so they couldn't say a good price.
In this way, Caifeng walked slowly forward with a stick alone, but I quietly stopped her, and when Caifeng heard a familiar voice, her footsteps stopped.
Seeing her stop, I returned the five yuan in my pocket to her, telling her that I couldn't take the money, and Caifeng began to cry again when she saw that I had returned her money.
I suddenly felt that Caifeng hadn't enjoyed a good day in my life, so I asked Caifeng to wait for me here, because the uncle's family made a lot of money by selling watermelons, so they also bought their own car.
I went to my uncle's house to borrow a bicycle, and went to the county seat with Caifeng, I invited her to eat stir-fried vegetables from restaurants in the city, and even bought her a lot of snacks, hoping that her life could be sweeter.
When Caifeng saw me treating her like this, she directly knelt down for me, saying that I was really a good person, not only did not dislike her for being blind, but even helped her frequently.
However, Caifeng didn't take the dim sum with her, because if she brought it home, she might still be scolded, so she left the dim sum to me.
After returning home, I couldn't sleep after thinking about it, seeing Caifeng's pitiful appearance, and thinking that if I married Wang Cripple in the future, I might have to suffer a lot.
A month later, Wang Cripple was discussing marriage with the woman again, but this time it should have been successful, and the woman finally relented and asked for a few hundred yuan.
And this price is also very in line with the price in Wang Cripple's heart, so the two sides feel that they can set this family business, and when I heard that Caifeng was going to marry Wang Cripple, I was very sad.
So he hurriedly rushed to Wang Cripple's house, but the two sides quarreled again because of the price, although the woman asked for a few hundred yuan, but he felt that he had lost money.
asked the woman to ask for less, and the woman felt that Wang Cripple didn't want to give it at all, so the two sides were directly and quarrelling, and Caifeng was also crying on the side.
Seeing her sad appearance, it also made me feel very uncomfortable, to be honest, when I saw Caifeng for the first time, I should have liked her a little, although the scene was also very embarrassing.
In this noise, I said loudly, "Caifeng, I'm married", and the people on the spot became silent, and even she was very surprised.
When the woman saw that I was willing to marry Caifeng, she immediately negotiated the price with me, for them, it doesn't matter where Caifeng marries, what matters is who gives the high bride price.
I said let them go back first, and after I discussed it with my parents, I would naturally propose to Caifeng, and the woman saw my confident assurance, and immediately took Caifeng home.
When I got home, I told my parents that I wanted to marry Caifeng, but the whole family objected, because in rural areas, women wanted to be stronger so that they could do farm work.
And Caifeng is not only very slender, but the most important thing is that she can't see with her eyes, and she can't do any work when she marries home, so she is simply a "decoration" at home.
I was not too surprised by my parents' objections, because I had already thought of a countermeasure, and I told my parents that my daughter-in-law was pregnant with my child.
If she is willing to recognize her grandson as a cripple father, then I don't care, my mother was also very surprised to hear that Caifeng was pregnant.
After the negotiation of the family, I finally decided to find Caifeng to propose, but before proposing, I also secretly found Caifeng and asked her to lie that she was pregnant, otherwise I would have no way to marry her.
Although Caifeng didn't agree at first, but when she thought of marrying me, she still agreed to say that she was fake pregnant, and her mother looked at her grandson's face and gave Caifeng's family a thousand yuan.
In this way, Caifeng and I also got married, but the two of us knelt down for them the day after we got married, and told Caifeng that it was a fake pregnancy.
Mother is also a face-saving person, although she is very angry in her heart, but the raw rice has been cooked, and the money has been given to Caifeng's mother's family, so she has no choice but to accept Caifeng.
However, Caifeng's belly is also very competitive, and in just three years, she gave birth to two sons, which also made her mother and father very happy.
They also slowly reduced their views on Caifeng, it can be said that Caifeng and I have been married for decades, and there is rarely a blushing face between the two of them, and life is also very happy.
However, I have always been very curious about why I was able to meet Caifeng going to the grass alone that day, and she didn't tell the truth until decades after marriage.
It turned out that when she heard that her family asked her to marry Wang Cripple that day, she already planned not to live, although she had not seen Wang Cripple, but she had heard others say that his personality was very irritable.
And the other party is also an old man in his forties, so he plans to die himself, and the road where I sell watermelons happens to be close to the mountain road.
That's why I was able to meet her that day, but it was such an "embarrassing" thing that happened, and it wasn't until my behavior warmed her that I decided to live on my own.
