Trees in the Rain, the second series of rural marriage and family novels.

The phenomenon of lack of wives in rural areas is pregnant with crisis, which should attract the attention of relevant parties! -the author's inscription

The morning light rises from the sky, the morning star fades away, and the smoke from the kitchen roof floats into the morning sky. Sister-in-law's breakfast is ready. She takes off her apron and runs to the first room. Shout: "Star, moon, rainbow, get up quickly, wash your face, brush your teeth, have breakfast, go to school after dinner, I'm going to the fields."

Xing is his own boy, twelve years old, Yue is a second brother's girl, ten years old, and Hong is a second-born girl, eight years old. Sister-in-law Li Jinhua is a left-behind woman. Her husband and a second couple went to work in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The farmland that the family is responsible for is managed by the eldest sister-in-law, and Li Jinhua takes part in the laundry and cooking of the two children alone. For a strong, hardworking and simple rural woman in her early thirties, all this is regarded as routine and has long been used to it. Four husbands, brothers and sisters, parents-in-law, died young, the eldest sister married to other places, and the eldest and second children also got married independently, and each built a farmhouse and lived next to each other. The two brothers are healthy and tall, and they inherited their father's woodworking skills. They can work independently or contract carpentry work. Only the third child, as tall and powerful as his two brothers, had a serious illness before he was ten years old, which delayed treatment and led to half a fool. A handsome young man in his twenties, whose intelligence is still in a juvenile state. Eldest brother and second brother dare not take him to work in the city, so they have to leave him at home to help the eldest sister-in-law's boy do some farm work. He is also happy to run after the eldest sister-in-law's ass, and sometimes giggle. Sister-in-law also treats this brother as a child.

Li Jinhua's uncle and sister-in-law were caught off guard in the early summer of May when a rainstorm suddenly came. They were suddenly drenched into two soup drops? Chicken. The rain makes the white shirt stick tightly on the plump chest of the eldest sister-in-law, and the whole person is almost naked in nature.

Suddenly, my brother almost burst into laughter. In a blink of an eye, two stout arms held the eldest sister-in-law in their arms and repeatedly shouted, "I want a woman!" " "

At the moment of Li Jinhua, the whole people completely trapped in. Her beautiful face turned into pig liver color, and all kinds of expressions of surprise, anger, panic and shyness gathered on the young peasant woman's face. She tried to struggle, but the strength of a fool is endless, and her efforts were in vain. Her tears flowed out and mixed with the rain, salty and astringent, and she saw the coming of disaster.

Just now, the picture lasted about 60 seconds, and the two brothers suddenly let go of their arms and burst into tears, waving their hands, opening their bows left and right and slapping their faces.

After a while, the rough black face was red and swollen into a pig face.

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law came to her senses and said angrily, "Go home."

June in the countryside is the season of doing farm work with two guns. The boss returned to the village as scheduled. Li Jinhua told the man that the third brother was ill and would arrange marriage for him and start a family independently. As for what happened on a rainy day, God knows what my uncle and sister-in-law know, so she won't tell pillow in front of her husband. (The tree sighs in the rain: Sure enough, a good wife and husband have fewer disasters. If you are a gossip, I don't know how much trouble this family will set off! The tree in the rain is also puzzling: how can the third child suddenly recover from illness after years of mourning? After a day's work is finished, the husband and wife turn off the lights and sleep at night. Li Jinhua snuggles in her husband's arms: "Third brother is married, let's help build a house first." The husband readily agreed.

After January, the third new house was built, and the news of recovery spread all over Songshi Lake District.

Looking for a daughter-in-law for the third child almost made Li Jinhua lose ten pounds. Sure enough, many things have finally found a woman who is three years older than the third in Zhangjiatai Village, a neighboring county.

Sister-in-law begged the intermediary to take the third child to meet the woman. Unexpectedly, both men and women fell in love at first sight, as if marriage had been tied by a red line in a previous life. After less than an hour of conversation, it's settled. The next day, the man hosted the bride price, and three days later, he recorded the card. Ten days later, it was an auspicious day, and the wedding was held as scheduled.

Wangjiawan Village, located on the shore of Songshi Lake, was full of joy. Men, women and children in the village gathered at Li Jinhua's home to eat Wang Laosan's wedding banquet.

Dashu was lucky enough to attend the wedding reception in the rain.

When two newlyweds toasted the tree in the rain, the tree in the rain brightened up at the moment, the groom was tall and handsome, and the newlywed wife was an innocent girl. It was really a perfect match, which made people envy.

A talkative middle-aged peasant woman whispered to a tree in the rain, "You know, that bride is the widow who killed three men. Look at those peach eyes! " "

Sister-in-law Li Jinhua also whispered to the tree in the rain: "There are 28 bachelors in the village who are more than ten years older than the third grade, but our Lao Wang family is full of smoke!"

Two key words flashed through the tree's mind in the rain: bachelor village and wife shortage.
