Chapter 9

If she could not marry Shen Tingsheng, then what was the point of her rebirth?

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" The little boy who gave her the note saw that her expression was not right, so he pulled on her sleeve and asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm fine. Thank you!"

Xie Huaxiang took out the five cents that she had just saved on the bicycle and gave it to him. The little boy took the money and walked away happily.

According to what she knew, Shen Tingsheng was already in his thirties when she met him in her previous life. He was not married, and she had never heard of him having an ex-girlfriend. At that time, Xie Huaxiang thought that he was such an outstanding person, so he must have high standards. It was normal for him to not like the women around him.

Later on, the two of them got along for more than ten years. Shen Tingsheng was still not married, but Xie Huaxiang did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Times were different, and everyone's concept of marriage was different, especially for a successful man like him. It was not easy to find a woman who was not after his money and who treated him with sincerity.

Even in her heart, she did not want him to get married. As long as he was not married, she could still stay by his side as a good friend with a clear conscience.

Since the situation in her previous life was like that, it was impossible for it to suddenly change in this life. Shen Tingsheng came to break off the engagement this time for only one reason: he felt that he was not good enough for her, or he did not want to be a burden to the Xie family.

If Xie Huaxiang had encountered this situation in her previous life, she might have been greatly relieved like her parents!

Unfortunately, the current Xie Huaxiang had already changed her soul. She came from more than twenty years in the future, and her only goal was to win over Shen Tingsheng and become his wife who had helped him through thick and thin when they had known each other in the past!

Once again, she scanned the bustling waiting hall. She knew that since he wanted to avoid her, she would definitely not be able to find him. Xie Huaxiang snorted. Since he wanted to run, she would let him go for now. In any case, he would not be able to escape in the end!

Xie Huaxiang went out to get the bicycle and hurriedly pedaled to the Revolutionary Committee's office in the area where her household registration was located. She panted and said to the staff inside, "I want to sign up to cut the queue."

After signing up and confirming that the place to cut the queue was Shen Tingsheng's hometown, Xie Huaxiang felt as if she had eaten a calming pill and left the Revolutionary Committee with satisfaction. If there were no accidents, in a week's time, she would be able to step on the train to the end of her happiness and start her new life.

After Xie Huaxiang left, in the Revolutionary Committee's office, the elder sister who had just received her slapped the table and laughed loudly, "God bless me. Finally, I can complete the task. If I still can't find someone to go over, I don't know how to report to the higher-ups in two days!"

In the past two years, the policy of going to the countryside and going to the countryside had been relaxed, and they could no longer force people to cut the queue like before. In addition, there were many people who used their connections to intercede. The conditions in this Anji Village were very poor. It was said that the local villagers were so poor that they could not even wear pants. It was not easy to arrange a few people, but one or two of them were replaced. In two days, the higher-ups would calculate the list of educated youths who cut the queue. If they really could not find someone to make up the number, they really did not know how to report to the higher-ups!

She did not expect that someone would take the initiative to give her a pillow. This girl named Xie Huaxiang was not sure whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. She actually took the initiative to ask to cut the queue in Anji Village. How could she not be happy? The elder sister wanted to hug her and kiss her fiercely just now. It was not easy for her to hold back and help her with the registration procedures with a serious face.

Another person in the office could not help but pour cold water on her, "What do you mean by God bless? Don't you know that people can conquer nature?

I say, don't be happy too early. Maybe she will regret it after a while and come back to talk to you again later. "

The elder sister glared at her, "What are you talking about? It's useless. If this list is reported, even if the Emperor comes, he can't change it." After saying that, she did not rest and quickly organized the list to report to the higher-ups to avoid any more trouble.

Xie Huaxiang hummed a song as she returned to the textile factory's staff dormitory. Along the way, she smiled and greeted the neighbors. When she arrived at the entrance of her house, she propped up her bicycle and was about to open the half-closed door when she suddenly heard the conversation between her parents.

"Lao Xie, let me tell you, I definitely can't agree to this marriage. Our daughter has not even washed many clothes at home. If she goes to a place like the countryside, how can she endure that kind of hardship?" This was Hu Aichun's voice.

"I know, I know, I can't agree either. Our father is old and muddle-headed. It's right to repay a debt of gratitude, but we can't use our daughter's lifetime happiness to repay it. At most, we can give them a little more money and have a good talk with them. To be honest, our daughter can't do anything. For a village family, it's useless to marry over."

"That's right. Instead of marrying someone from Xiangxiang, it's better to take more money and marry a hardworking and capable village girl!" Hu Aichun said.

Xie Huaxiang, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was speechless. How can you talk about your daughter like that!

However, she also had to admit that her father's words were quite reasonable. Firstly, she did not know how to do farm work. Secondly, she did not know how to do housework. Secondly, she did not know how to do housework. What was the point of marrying her?

Was it good to serve her?

"Then it's settled. How much money do we have in our passbook? Can you see if you can give a thousand RMB to Xiao Shen to bring back? In the future, we will have repaid our father for saving our lives. This marriage can be considered canceled." Xie Yiping said.

Hu Aichun's voice suddenly became sharp. "A thousand RMB!

Xie Yiping, are you stupid? You don't need so much money. Now, in the countryside, one or two hundred yuan is enough to get a decent wife. Our money is for Xiangxiang's dowry. In the future, she will get married in a dignified manner. It's not to give you face. What do you mean by saving your life? It's something that happened eight lifetimes ago. As for that marriage agreement, there's no proof. If I say I don't recognize it, then I don't recognize it.

What can he do about it? "Although Hu Aichun's words were sharp, Xie Huaxiang's eyes were still wet. She knew that her family had some money. In her previous life, when she married Jung Yongcheng, her family was worried that she would be wronged because of the huge gap between the two families. Therefore, not only did they give her all the betrothal gifts, but they also spent a lot of money to buy her a high-end and decent dowry. In the end, they even gave her two thousand RMB so that she would have enough money to live her life.

When she got married, she almost emptied the Lao Xie family's money. However, in the end, she did not get the happiness that her parents hoped for.

Although Hu Aichun's words were a little harsh and his attitude towards Shen Tingsheng was not good, Xie Huaxiang knew that he truly loved her. As long as they knew that he was the one who could truly give her happiness, they would definitely accept him.

Thinking of this, Xie Huaxiang was about to push the door open when she suddenly heard Hu Aichun sigh and say, "I've thought about it. I'll go to the factory tomorrow and ask Xiangxiang to take the position. Sigh, she offended the Tang Guiying today. I'm afraid she can't rely on this job. If she can't find a job, she will have to go to the countryside. We can't just stand by and watch our daughter cut the queue!"

After graduating from high school last year, Xie Huaxiang had been unemployed at home. If she could not find a job this year, according to the regulations, she would have to cut the queue. Some time ago, Mr. and Mrs. Xie had been busy with this matter. They were ordinary workers in the textile factory. They did not have any connections with other companies, so they could only ask Vice-director Tang, who was in charge of human resources in the textile factory, for help.

They had given a lot of gifts and said a lot of good words. In addition, their daughter had a good relationship with Vice-director Tang's daughter. They all thought that this matter would definitely be settled. Who knew that there was still no news until now?

The Revolutionary Committee had already notified them several times. If the recruitment matter could not be settled, Xie Huaxiang would have to cut the queue. Mr. and Mrs. Xie originally had some hope. After today's incident, their last hope was extinguished. After thinking about it, Hu Aichun could only retire early and let Xie Huaxiang take her position.

Why else would they say that a job in a company was an iron rice bowl? Not only was this job secure, but it could also be passed down from generation to generation. As long as Hu Aichun was willing, he could transfer this job to Xie Huaxiang at any time and let her work in the textile factory.

The reason why he did not want to do this before was that Hu Aichun was still young. She was in her early forties and could still shine in her position. Moreover, her monthly salary was more than 30 RMB. For the Xie family, this was an important source of income. If he gave the job to Xie Huaxiang, the family's expenses would be much tighter in the future.

His daughter was a young woman. It was not easy for her to work and earn some money. They could not expect her to support the family. Therefore, Hu Aichun was not willing to retire and let his daughter take over the job. Now that he had no other choice, he had to do this.

Hearing what she said, Xie Yiping sighed. "If you give the job to Xiangxiang, what will you do?"

At this time, square dancing was not popular. After retirement, other than doing housework, she could only sit under the locust tree at the back of the courtyard and chat with other retired old ladies who had taken care of their children. Hu Aichun was a person who could not stay idle. How could she live like that?

Hu Aichun persuaded him: "It's okay, I've asked around, I can take some jobs to make paper boxes and bring them home. Although I can't earn much money, it's not a problem to earn money to buy groceries. In the future, the two of us should be more frugal. We still have to save up for our daughter's dowry. Our daughter is so beautiful, in the future, she will definitely marry into a good family. We can't drag her down."
