Miss, let's get married

Chapter 35 The Past of Mount Jiuhua ([-])

The day to go to Mount Jiuhua happened to be the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and Chen Chao had already booked a flight ticket to Shanghai on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, so he would spend two more days with Mark and his wife, which was quite ample time.

In winter, Jiuhua Mountain is not only depressed due to the cold weather, on the contrary, it is very popular, which adds a lot of excitement to Jiuhua Mountain, a Buddhist holy place.

Because the time of the day is relatively tight, Mark decided to stay at the top of Jiuhua Mountain for one night, and then set off for M City early the next morning.

Mark said to let Chao Chen go shopping casually, take care of his own lunch, and then meet him for dinner at the Hilltop Hotel.Of course, Super Chen has no objection to this point. Moreover, Super Chen doesn't want to be the light bulb of the couple, and he always feels that Xue Keyin has a certain arrogance. General boy.

This feeling made Super Chen very uncomfortable.

But superficially, Chen Chao was still very active. Relying on his hard-earned geography knowledge of Mount Jiuhua, he took the initiative to tell Xue Keyin a lot of common sense about the origins of various scenic spots in Mount Jiuhua, which made the tourist guide beside him roll his eyes.

"Handsome guy, have you been to Mount Jiuhua?" Came to the Palace of Flesh Body, after the Marks and his wife had left for a while, the lady companion couldn't help asking, she was young, but she looked very aggressive.

"I visited it when I was in school, but I almost forgot about it!" Super Chen wanted to tease her.

The little girl rolled her eyes and said: "I think you remember it very clearly, that man is your boss."

Chen Chao was secretly amazed, this little girl has such good eyesight, she really deserves to be a tour guide who has read countless people, but her knowledge is extraordinary.

"You say yes!" Super Chen said ambiguously.

"The girl is mistress?" The little girl gossiped again.

"You can't talk too much about the boss's secret!" Super Chen teased her.

"Then please burn more incense, and become the boss in the future!" The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, showing two playful canine teeth.

After visiting this scenic spot, Chen Chao went to play alone, and Mark and his wife accompanied the little girl to continue to play and burn incense, and Chen Chao also wandered around freely.

However, it is not a lie to tell the little girl that she has been to Jiuhua Mountain before.Chen Chao had indeed been here.

Chen Chao’s family was very poor when he was a child. His parents farmed the land to support his brothers, and it was very difficult to support his sick grandparents.Later, both Chen Chao and his elder brother went to school, and their parents couldn't afford it anymore.

So Chen Chao's father went to work in the city, and his mother followed his father to the construction site to cook for the migrant workers, living in a difficult life.Chen Chao has been an authentic left-behind child since he was ten years old, living with his elderly grandparents, and he knew the hardships of life when he was a child.

Later, my elder brother dropped out of school and went out to work, which slightly alleviated the family's poverty.Later, when I was in college, I talked with Liu Xue. At the beginning, the two just had a good impression of each other. In the relatively pure environment of the campus, they didn't consider the differences between the two.

Although Liu Xue came from a good background, she came from a military family with strict family education, and she didn't show much of the trickery of a rich girl, but Liu Xue likes shopping, spends money generously, eats and loves to eat, and specially picks those It's a weird high-end restaurant, and Chao Chen couldn't resist it without eating two meals.

Although the work-study program also earns some living expenses, but often working hard for a month, it is not enough to go shopping with Liu Xue once!

Once Chen Chao couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Liu Xue: "Xiaoxue, why don't we eat at the restaurant in front of the school in the future, it's convenient and affordable, and the taste is also good!"

At first, Liu Xue didn't understand Chen Chao's intentions, and said disapprovingly, "Shanghai's transportation is convenient everywhere. What delicious food is there near the school? Besides, we can also visit the surrounding commercial streets when we go out to eat, how good it is!"

Chen Chao had no choice but to make it clear: "However, those restaurants are not cheap, and I spent money again this month..."

But Liu Xue laughed, put her hands around Chen Chao's neck, tilted her head and said, "Little fool, you are worrying about this! Don't tell me sooner! My living expenses are relatively rich, so I will spend my money when I go out in the future!"

Having said that, Super Chen couldn't spend Liu Xue's money with peace of mind.

When the left-behind children meet the spoiled rich girl, the left-behind children are often the awkward one.Especially when eating and paying the bill, the waiters always paid for Chao Chen, which made Chao Chen want to get under the table.

When I was a child, my parents always taught me that poor people should not be short-tempered, not greedy for wealth and have no backbone, and Chao Chen felt that he was just a softie.

But the passion of youth and the charm of love often make Super Chen temporarily forget about these things, but occasionally, Super Chen will work hard secretly, thinking that he must make more money in the future and take back the sovereignty that belongs to men.

Children from poor families are arrogant after all.

Chen Chao always thought later, even if he married Liu Xue, would he be able to bear the family gap?He couldn't imagine that the servant who was born as a farmer would have the same idea as himself when he met Liu Xue's father, a high-ranking official.

This is a natural inferiority complex.

No matter how hard you try, you always feel that you have taken over others.This is family status.The right family is the best breeding ground for love.

When Chen Chao was in his sophomore year, his grandfather was ill, very seriously ill, with terminal lung cancer.Parents brought their savings for many years (in fact, in order to support Chen Chao to go to school, the family did not have much savings), and brought his grandfather to Shanghai for surgery.

After settling down with grandpa, Chen Chao took his parents to eat in a small restaurant.The menu was passed around among the three of them, but in the end they only ordered three bowls of plain noodles.

"Your brother has a date, and it's dirty." Father wiped his mouth and said after sucking up a bowl of noodles.

"Why?" Super Chen asked.

"Your grandfather's surgery cost money, and your brother's dowry was paid for." Father said.

Chen Chao understands. At home, the daughter-in-law wants a bride price. Who would marry you without a bride price?

Chen Chao felt sad for a while, and said: "Then I won't go to school next semester, and I will take a year off from school to earn dowry money for my brother."

At that time, Super Chen was still very innocent, so he didn't know that what he said was childish to his father.

But the father smiled sadly and said: "It's important to go to school. Our family confessed to you, but you can't stop it. You study hard at school and strive for success in the future!"

Father's words were straightforward, but Super Chen nodded heavily.My brother is almost thirty. He is an older youth. He has worked outside the home and traveled to many places. When it was the hardest time, he would carry heavy mud buckets on the construction site, just to save money to marry, but it is very pitiful that he has not found a partner at this age. , but what can Chen Chao do?

"I'll accompany you back to the hospital to see grandpa!" Super Chen said.

Father nodded and said, "Okay, maybe this is the last time. The doctor said that surgery might not work."

The mother sniffled and didn't speak, and the wrinkles became deeper, like a knife carving.Chen Chao knew that the taciturn mother must be worried about her grandfather, but also her brother.

When I arrived at the hospital, my brother was accompanying me.

Grandpa is very thin, like a dying monkey, he just opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Chen Chao held back his tears, walked to his grandpa's bed, and called grandpa softly.But grandpa still didn't open his eyes, but he seemed to hear it, and his mouth was still opened.

"Stop shouting, he can't hear you, my grandfather can't eat for a few days, and has been drinking nutrient solution." Brother Chen Hao said from the side.

After leaving the ward, Chen Chao quietly asked Chen Hao: "Which girl do you have a crush on? Parents say it's pornographic?"

Chen Hao sighed and said, "It's the matchmaker that Aunt Wang told you about, and they cost 3 yuan." He stretched out three fingers while speaking.

"You can't talk to Aunt Wang again when you go back, and the money will be paid slowly?" Chao Chen said.

"Girls don't want to! Besides, women are one year old and one year old. It's okay for a big man to wait for a year or two, but it's hard for a woman to marry when she gets old! Who wants to wait for you, a pauper?" Chen Hao Say.

"Hey, look at my mother's gray hair! Grandpa's illness, and I don't know how much it will cost, I don't even want to go to school!" Super Chen said with a frown.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hao quietly bumped Chen Chao with his elbow, and said: "My brother, you should study hard and don't worry about your brother's marriage! Your brother will not be a bachelor!"

Chen Chao's eyes lit up: "Brother, do you have a date?"
