I tell a true and wonderful love story, in the sixties of the last century, when it was particularly poor. There is a man named Li Asan who is almost thirty years old and is still a single dog. The brothers went to Ili, Xinjiang alone, in order to be able to eat enough to eat.
Li Asan works on a farm in Xinjiang, and his monthly salary is about ten yuan. He saved money to marry his daughter-in-law. He has been working in Xinjiang for seven or eight years, and no one wants to marry him in his thirties. Li Asan is ugly, tall and old, so it is normal to find a wife. When he was thirty-five years old, his family wrote that there was a servant in his hometown who was only 20 years old, because her brother could not afford to build a house with his daughter-in-law, and whoever was willing to give her family two hundred yuan and three hundred catties of grain was willing to marry. Li Asan could not read and find someone to read to him, and Li Asan thought that this opportunity could not be missed, so he made up his mind to send five hundred yuan to the eldest brother of the family. To be honest, a few hundred yuan in the seventies of the last century was money, and Li Asan was also particularly distressed in his heart, but in order to have a wife, he opened up.
When Elder Brother Li received Ah San's letter and money, he went to a matchmaker to talk about this matter, of course, he had money to do things. The girl's surname was Zhao Cuizhu, and her father had nothing to say about taking the money from others, and after two days, she followed the matchmaker by train to Xinjiang. Zhao Cuizhu was particularly happy in his heart and thought that he had finally escaped from the poor countryside.
Li Asan was not confident in his heart, because he was ugly and did not dare to see his wife, after all, he was fifteen or sixteen years older than his wife. He found the farm secretary to think about how to arrange accommodation when his wife came, and he absolutely could not see his wife during the day, afraid that the bamboo basket would be empty. The farm secretary was very good, so he specially approved three houses, and also let his wife go to the station to pick up Ah San's wife. Zhao Cuizhu and the matchmaker came all the way to Ili. They were served by a middle-aged woman who brought them to the restaurant to eat and drink raw. When Zhao Cuizhu was eating, he gently asked the farm secretary's wife, why didn't the eldest sister come? The farm secretary's wife, who has seen the world, smiled and said, Sister, you are talking about your object Xiao Li, Xiao Li and my old man went to a meeting for the evening to come back. I arranged everything and said a lot of good things for Ah San. Zhao Cuizhu thought in his heart that the man he was looking for was not a few years older than himself, and it was not bad to be able to mix with the leader, and at this time, Zhao Cuizhu was beautiful in his heart.
The farm secretary's wife took Zhao Cuizhu to Li Asan's marriage room, and the whole house was full of new ones, that is, there were no oil lamps. The sky gradually darkened Zhao Cuizhu did not see his sweetheart return and went to bed alone, and without much effort, he heard the sound of the door opening and squeaking. At this time, Zhao Cuizhu was frightened and asked who it was, only to hear a man's voice, it was me Cuizhu and I was A San. Zhao Cuizhu said, why is there no lamp in this room? Ah San said, I did not buy new lamps, xinjiang this place has a lot of foxes and weasels, I am afraid that you are scared, so I did not dare to buy oil lamps. At this time, Zhao Cuizhu was very touched in her heart and she was afraid of these things. Li Asan sat on the edge of the bed and said, Cuizhu, I am five or six years older than you, are you willing to live with me? This sentence is very straightforward, but Zhao Cuizhu is still in the beautiful dream of longing for love. She felt that this man was quite honest and said, I would like to be with you. It was such a simple wedding where two people were together.
What made Zhao Cuizhu suspicious the most was that his man always left before dawn to go home in the dark. What also makes Zhao Cuizhu the happiest is what he wants, and her husband will take it home at night. After a few months of Zhao Cuizhu being pregnant for a long time, she asked her husband why she could only come back early every day and at night, and other people's men could come back early to accompany their wives. And Li Asan's answer is that the farm is too busy to come back early. Zhao Cuizhu was not very satisfied with this answer, but there was no way, there were no people he knew in Xinjiang thousands of miles away except him.
In the autumn of the following year, Zhao Cuizhu was about to give birth, and she wanted her husband, who had lived for more than a year, to take her to the hospital to give birth, but she was disappointed that it was the farm secretary's wife and other family members who took her to the hospital to give birth. Li Asan's feeling of inferiority is getting heavier and heavier, and he also wants to take his wife to the hospital to give birth. But he did not dare to be afraid that his wife would abandon him. When Zhao Cuizhu gave birth to a, the cry of that made Ah San, who was hiding in the corner of the hospital, shed tears of happiness. Since Ah San had a daughter, he was full of energy, but he became more and more frugal, and the purpose was for his wife and children. But his inferiority complex did not change in the slightest.
Soon to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Cuizhu most wants her husband to have a happy reunion festival at home. That night Zhao Cuizhu said his thoughts, did not expect Li Asan to find an excuse again, Zhao Cuizhu cried in her heart that her husband did not love her, why did not know what her husband looked like for more than a year. Could it be that her husband has someone else who hates her? In fact, Li Asan did not want to accompany his wife who was both familiar and strange to spend the holiday. It's just that he feels that he is an old and ugly man, and he does not dare to face his young and beautiful wife.
Zhao Cuizhu went to the wife of the farm secretary and told him about the pain in his heart. The farm secretary's wife did everything to comfort and persuade her to have another son so that she could tie the man's heart. Zhao Cuizhu had no other way. When Zhao Cuizhu was pregnant again, he told his husband that Li Asan heard that his wife was pregnant again and his heart was sweeter than honey, and he thought that he had two children and I dared to see my wife. Once, Li Asan bought some ribs and clothes for his colleagues to bring back to his wife. That person called out to the sister-in-law Old Brother Li to buy you beef and clothes, Zhao Cuizhu took over the things, see that the person is not young and has more than thirty years old, how can he still call my sister-in-law! Is it true that ah san in his hometown is even older? But what made Zhao Cuizhu most satisfied was that her old Li especially hurt her and her daughter, and really did not suffer a little grievance. In fact, Li Asan was very bitter, usually reluctant to eat and wear, and kept the money for his wife and his daughter.
Zhao Cuizhu was about to give birth, Li Asan went to the farm secretary's wife to help, did not expect the secretary's wife to scold Li Asan said, old Li is not what I said about you, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see the in-laws, you can't not show up for a lifetime. Tell me when your wife is about to give birth, and I'll take you to the hospital to pull your wife. Li Asan's heart was really fifteen buckets of water up and down. A few days later, Zhao Cuizhu's stomach hurt badly, and the secretary's wife shouted in front of her, and Old Li quickly pulled the scooter to pull his wife to the hospital. At this time, Li Asan pulled the scooter and carried his wife onto the scooter and ran to the hospital quickly.
The child was born smoothly and was a handle, which made Li Asan smile and close his mouth, Zhao Cuizhu, who slept on the delivery bed, looked at his son's happy smile, and looked at his husband curiously, Oh my God, how do I find such an old and ugly man, alas! There is no way to be a mother of two children who have cooked raw rice to maturity. Zhao Cuizhu took a closer look at the man who felt that Ah San did not know where to reveal a little handsomeness.
