Chapter 386 The Lion Opens His Mouth 2
Wang Zhengguo certainly knew why Wang Zhengjun came to ask for food, because his family didn't have enough food!
For urban residents, those who have jobs have different food rations according to their jobs, with a minimum of 25 kilograms and a maximum of 45 kilograms. Only miners have a standard of 45 kilograms. Unemployed adults only have 21 kilograms, and children have 8 kilograms, calculated on a monthly basis.
Wang Zhengjun has a job, and his son was assigned a job after graduation, but his wife Liu Jinhua doesn't.
Wang Zhengjun went to work in the city after the founding of the People's Republic of China, because he had read books and knew how to read, which made him stand out in the recruitment.
Before that, he married a wife and had a son in his hometown. The betrothal gifts were all paid by Wang Zhengguo, and the wedding was also organized by Wang Zhengguo. To put it bluntly, he was a mud-legged man, and now he hasn't washed the mud spots on his legs clean.
Their parents were ordinary tenant farmers, with no money and no skills. If it weren't for the Lu family's care, they couldn't raise seven children. Later, they relied on Wang Zhengguo and two daughters who worked as servants in the Lu family for a few years to live a well-fed life. They didn't have the ability to host weddings for their children, couldn't afford the betrothal gifts and dowries, and couldn't act like elders.
Parents are incompetent, and the eldest brother is like a father. Isn't it Wang Zhengguo's responsibility to arrange the marriages of his younger brothers and sisters?
Among them, the marriages of Fengmei and Fengying were not chosen by Wang Zhengguo, but by his parents. Because of this, Wang Zhengguo took charge of the marriages of other brothers and sisters.
He said at the time that the two families were not suitable, but his parents did not listen. They thought that the family that came to ask Fengmei for marriage was a rich cadre family in the city. Fengmei would enjoy happiness if she married him, and she would become a phoenix after flying up the tree. Fengying's father-in-law was a good friend of Wang's father, and he had verbally promised his children to marry. Otherwise, she would not have become Wang Zhengguo's sister-in-law at all.
Wang Zhengguo was very responsible, and Miao Fengqin, the eldest sister-in-law, had no objection. She had a good impression of the second and third brothers. The younger sister-in-law Fengqiao really helped a lot after she entered the house. She was not the kind of cunning and weird person. A good marriage would be beneficial to her family.
Wang Fengqiao and the second and third brothers listened to the eldest brother in everything, and they were kind and honest.
So, under Wang Zhengguo's arrangement, the two brothers married Lu's maids, and Wang Fengqiao married a childhood sweetheart in the village. Now they are living a very comfortable life.
Wang Zhengjun, who was arrogant, was different.
Unlike his three brothers who obeyed their parents' orders and matchmakers' words, Wang Zhengjun, who had great ambitions, was unwilling to marry the maid of the Lu family. He believed that he was no lower than the Lu family, and his soul was as noble as the Lu family, so he was unwilling to be inferior to others, and he did not accept the poison of arranged marriage. He wanted to fall in love freely and then enter the palace of marriage.
Wang Zhengguo knew that a forced melon would not be sweet, so he did not force his youngest brother to live according to his own arrangements, and simply let go of the marriage until he brought Liu Jinhua back and told himself that he wanted to marry Liu Jinhua.
Liu Jinhua was from the Red Star Production Brigade next door.
The two production brigades, oh, at that time they were not production brigades, but villages.
One was Wanglou Village, and the other was Liujia Village.
The two villages were very close, separated by a large piece of land in the middle, which belonged to the Lu family of Wanglou Village. It took about 20 minutes to walk from Wanglou Village to Liujia Village along the road.
Liu Jinhua is worthy of her name. She is a golden flower in Liujia Village. She is very beautiful and can be regarded as a model of a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families.
Her reputation is no less than that of the daughters of the Wang family, which shows how beautiful she is.
