Chapter 634 635 [Mountain and Sea Love]

  Xiang Nan then checked the information at that time and made sufficient preparations for the completion of the task.

   While he was looking up the information, several magazines responded that they were satisfied with the articles he wrote and were willing to adopt them.

   Seeing these replies, Xiang Nan was very happy.

  The remuneration of magazines is much higher than that of online articles. He can earn a lot more than before by writing a few manuscripts every month. The standard of living is guaranteed.

  If you are lucky enough to be selected by a publishing house and adopted by a film and television company, you will earn even more money.

   Moreover, the improvement of his writing level has made him more confident in completing the task.

  …

   After Xiang Nan was ready, he officially took over the task of Ernst & Young Fu.

   Immediately, a light gate appeared out of thin air, and Xiang Nan walked into the light gate with ease, and then felt dizzy for a while.

"My name is An Yongfu. I am 21 years old this year. I am from Kushui Village, Gangou Township, Haiji County. Our ancestors have lived in the mountains for generations, and they are very poor. We can only eat potatoes every day. With such a large forehead, we have never eaten fine grains. A few mouthfuls.

  In order to marry E, the family scraped together a donkey, two sheep, two cages of chickens, and a water cellar in exchange for Li Shuihua, a girl from Yongquan Village. I heard that she is a good woman, hardworking and capable, so if you marry her in, you must treat her well..."

  A lot of memories flooded Xiang Nan's mind, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was sleeping on a kang.

  Looking around, it's really desolate.

  A decent piece of furniture, a decent home appliance, a decent decoration, nothing at all.

  There are only loess walls, loess earth, loess kang... so poor that they jingle.

  Xiang Nan could not help but take a deep breath.

  Even though he knew that Xihai was the poorest in the world and was mentally prepared, seeing such a scene with his own eyes still shocked him.

   Such living conditions are not like the 1990s, but the 1950s and 1960s. Really too poor!

   "Such a poor life can still be lived for generations..." Xiang Nan couldn't help sighing, "I don't know whether to praise them for their tenacity or hard work, or to scold them for not being enterprising."

  As soon as he came here, he wanted to go back. I really don't know how those villagers could bear it.

  …

   Unable to figure it out, Xiang Nan turned over and continued to sleep.

  Tomorrow is the day to marry Shui Hua in Yongquan Village.

  It was still dark, so Xiang Nan was greeted by his parents, washed up, and put on new clothes.

  Today is his big day, the bridegroom and the wife should dress up properly.

  After freshening up, the bridegroom team from Kushui Village, led by Uncle Ernst Fu's security guards, walked all the way to Yongquan Village to pick up the bride.

  Kushui Village is 25 miles away from Yongquan Village, and it takes four or five hours to go back and forth. So in order not to miss the auspicious time, we had to set off before dawn.

  As for why I walk instead of cycling, it is mainly because I am too poor. There are more than 100 households in the village, and there are only three bicycles in total.

  …

  After the welcoming team set off, it took nearly an hour before the sky began to light up.

  After dawn, relatives, neighbors, and folks all came to settle down.

  Helping, joining in the fun, and waiting for a meal, the small yard of Anjia was packed to the brim.

   "Oh, the groom looks quite decent."

   "Yongfu usually doesn't dress up, but he looks good when dressed up."

   "Yongfuer, after the daughter-in-law is married, do you know what to do?"

  A group of people surrounded Xiang Nan, chattering and booing happily.

  Xiang Nan feigned embarrassment, but in fact he knew in his heart that the marriage would not work out today.

  Li Shuihua has escaped from the village with Bai Maimiao, Ma Debao, and Li Gawa, and is going to work in the county.

  …

   Sure enough, nearly two hours later, I heard someone shout, "The bride is here~"

  Everyone ran to the door to have a look, and some people lit the firecrackers that had been hung up in advance.

   Crackling, ringing, and smoke filled the air.

  But I saw that the welcoming team all looked unlucky, and the aisle was full of anger.

   "Why, what is this, where is the bride?" The big guys asked one after another when they saw it.

   "Don't mention it, the bride is running away!"

   "The girl from the Li family is running away, running away from marriage!"

   "I heard that he eloped with a wild man~"

  Suddenly, a stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone inside and outside the house was shocked.

  The people who were teasing Xiang Nan at first looked at him with sympathy, embarrassment and bewilderment.

  When An Yongfu's parents heard the news, they were also in a mess, and tears flowed down. In order to marry their sons, they did not hesitate to spend all their belongings, and even caused a whole lot of famine.

   Now that gifts have been given, money has been spent, and the daughter-in-law has run away, what should I do! It's life-threatening!

   "Don't be your mother's gossip, what a wild man, you know what a fart! If you are so nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart." Uncle Anbaojun cursed, calming down those who were talking.

   Then he helped his sister and brother-in-law up and told the story.

  It turned out that after they arrived in Yongquan Village, at first Li Laoshuan was putting on a show, prevaricating, evading his daughter's love for the family, and asking them to wait a little longer so that Shuihua could talk to her mother a little longer.

   But after drinking several large bowls of water, it seemed that it was almost too late, and he had to pick up the water and go back, so Li Laoshuan confessed that his daughter ran away at night.

  The Security Army naturally thought that he was cheating, accepted the bride price, refused to give it to the daughter, and assumed that he ran away. This is planning to marry one daughter and two. It's so wicked, you shouldn't fight! Immediately, they led someone to beat Li Laoshuan until his head was broken.

"Sister, brother-in-law, the county cadres are here today to support Li Laoshuan. If the officials don't fight with the people, they can only retreat first." The security army said loudly again, "But don't be afraid, er tomorrow Take someone there and tie up Li Laoshuan. If his family doesn't pay a daughter, we won't let him go!

  We can't let the people from Yongquan Village take advantage of our Kushui Village. When did our Kushui Village suffer this loss, old and young men, do you think this is the reason? "

"yes!"

   "You can't spare Yongquan Village!"

   "We can't suffer from this!"

  The villagers in Kushui Village were filled with righteous indignation.

   They all live in the same village, and they are all the same ancestors. If An Yongfu was bullied, it meant they were bullied.

  …

  Xiang Nan looked at these angry villagers, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

  Sweet or not, hometown water; kiss or not, hometown people.

  In the city, even if you live in the same room, if you don’t look up and look down, you are just strangers.

  Where can we see such a scene of unanimous voices and echoes.

   "If there is a chance, I still have to help these people." Xiang Nan thought to himself.

   Originally, he only wanted to let Li Shuihua enjoy the blessings, but that is actually not difficult to do. But now, he has bigger ideals.

  If possible, he hopes that all the people in Kushui Village can live a good life.
