Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The meaning of Niu Chunsheng's words was very obvious.

That is, for Wang Xiaohua to marry Li Jianjia at this time would simply be muddle-headed!

Li Zhongxian's corruption and bribery case was made into a typical example and spread throughout the entire county town's establishment; from small township and village officials to the county government leadership team, this case would be brought up and discussed at anti-corruption symposiums.

From this one can know that Li Zhongxian had already been completely abandoned by everyone in the county town's officialdom; everyone in the establishment kept their distance from Li Zhongxian, busy cutting ties.

For Wang Xiaohua to marry Li Zhongxian's daughter at this time, isn't that equivalent to cutting off his own chance to enter the county town's establishment?

If he really returns to this small county town to serve the people in the future, his wife Li Jianjia would definitely become a major stumbling block on his official career path.

"Uncle Chunsheng, my marriage to Jianjia was after careful consideration."

Wang Xiaohua didn't explain much, only said this one sentence.

Niu Chunsheng sighed with a bitter smile:

"Alright then, I won't say more. I'll stick to what I said: what my daughter said just now was spoken without ulterior motive, please don't take it to heart!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"It's fine, I indeed won't take it to heart. If there's nothing else we'll head off first."

Wang Xiaohua and Wang Erhai left the Niu family and drove back to Shanggou Village.

On the way, Wang Erhai couldn't help but say:

"Third Brother, not that I'm saying anything, but you marrying Li Jianjia really isn't a wise move. Actually you could just keep dating, no need to rush into marriage."

Wang Xiaohua smiled:

"Second Brother, I have my own measure. The marriage certificate is already obtained, so don't say these things anymore."

"I'm just worried about you! You're not the same as us ordinary people; you have a bright future ahead. Since the college entrance exam resumed, you're the only one from our county town to test into Tsinghua. You can't let a woman ruin your prospects!"

Wang Xiaohua just said:

"Jianjia hasn't broken any law. My marrying Jianjia doesn't affect me taking the civil service exam."

With Wang Xiaohua putting it this way, Wang Erhai didn't say anything more.

Wang Xiaohua's inner heart was actually quite complex.

He had long known that marrying Li Jianjia would inevitably invite gossip.

So he had long given himself a preventive inoculation.

But when it truly came time to face it, it was very hard to do, to truly have a heart without waves.

Right at this moment, Wang Xiaohua's mobile phone rang.

He took it out to look — it was unexpectedly a call from Wang Xiaoqian, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.

Wang Xiaohua had just answered when Wang Xiaoqian's voice came through:

"Brother Xiaohua, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Wang Xiaohua replied with a smile.

That Wang Xiaoqian could call him to say Happy New Year during the Spring Festival made him feel that tutoring her homework back then hadn't been in vain.

"Brother Xiaohua, Lin Xin just told me you came to the county town."

The meaning of Wang Xiaoqian's words was very obvious — she hoped to meet Wang Xiaohua.

But Wang Xiaohua was already on the road back to Shanggou Village with his Second Brother.

So Wang Xiaohua said:

"I'm already heading back to the village."

Wang Xiaoqian said: "I still wanted to see you. Since you're going back, how about this — tomorrow my parents and I will go to your house to pay New Year's respects! My parents said that my current grades are all thanks to you tutoring me back then!"

Wang Xiaohua readily accepted:

"Sure, I'll send the address to your WeChat in a bit. Just come over."

Wang Xiaoqian was excited beyond measure:

"Okay, then we'll set off early tomorrow. We'll have lunch at your place then, hee hee, is that okay?"

"Of course. I'll have Mom kill a free-range chicken to entertain you!"

Thus the two agreed just like that: Wang Xiaoqian and her parents would visit Wang Xiaohua's home tomorrow.

"Who's that?"

Wang Erhai, driving beside him, asked.

"Niu Linxin's junior high deskmate." Wang Xiaohua truthfully said: "Back then I went to tutor Niu Linxin's homework; she came to the Niu family to freeload the lessons. Result: Niu Linxin didn't learn much, but her grades advanced by leaps and bounds. Now she's already a top-ten existence in her grade."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Sometimes things really are accidental — planting willows without intent, they grow into shade."

In a blink it was the next day.

Morning past nine o'clock, Wang Xiaoqian and her parents indeed truly came to Shanggou Village to visit the Wang family.

They even specially bought a lot of New Year's goods and gifts.

Although none were precious items, it was still a piece of sincerity.

Wang Xiaoqian's father, upon seeing Wang Xiaohua, was very enthusiastic and proactively went over to shake hands:

"Xiaohua, my daughter having today is really thanks to you. You don't know, she's really promising. This year's final exam, she scored fourth in the whole grade! With this grade, getting into a good university for the college entrance exam should be no problem!"

Wang Xiaoqian's father is an honest, dutiful worker. His ability isn't great; he may not be able to repay a grudge, but he will definitely repay a kindness.

Wang Xiaoqian's mother also had a face full of joy, and she said:

"Later, for the college entrance exam volunteer application, I reckon we'll still have to trouble you, Xiao Hua, to help guide us a bit. Her dad and I don't understand anything!"

While speaking, she also took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Wang Xiaohua's hand.

"No need, no need. I'm an adult now, why would you still give a Spring Festival red envelope?"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly refused.

Wang Xiaoqian's mother, however, forcibly stuffed it into Wang Xiaohua's hand:

"Take it, take it. You accept it, just a small token of our feelings!"

In the end, Wang Xiaohua could only reluctantly accept it.

Wang Xiaoqian looked at the Wang family's this big house, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Brother Xiaohua, your family's this house, it's really beautiful!"

Wang Xiaoqian's father hurriedly said:

"Daughter, this is called studying changes fate! I remember when your Brother Xiaohua just tested into Tsinghua, the TV station interviewed his family, and his family still lived in a very dilapidated place. Now, how many years has it been, and they've already moved into a big villa! You must redouble your efforts in studying!"

Wang Xiaoqian nodded heavily:

"Mhm! I will definitely redouble my efforts! My goal is to test into Tsinghua, and study at the same university as Brother Xiaohua! If that really doesn't work, then test into another university in Beijing!"

Wang Xiaohua said with a smile:

"Go for it. Having a goal is a good thing!"

At this time, Li Jianjia came downstairs from upstairs.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly pulled Li Jianjia over to make introductions:

"Let me introduce you all. This is my wife, Li Jianjia!"

Then he said to Li Jianjia:

"Jianjia, this is Wang Xiaoqian. This is Xiaoqian's dad and mom. Xiaoqian is Niu Linxin's junior high school classmate. Before, I went to tutor Niu Linxin's homework, and she came to freeload the lessons. As a result, now Niu Linxin's grades haven't gotten up, but she has already become a study god! This year's final exam, she even tested into fourth place in the whole grade! Following this momentum, a key university should be a sure thing!"

Li Jianjia politely smiled and glanced at Wang Xiaoqian.

Wang Xiaoqian also politely smiled and glanced at Li Jianjia, but her expression was somewhat flustered and lost.

At this age of hers, she is most unable to hide things.

And Wang Xiaoqian's parents, the expressions on their faces, also showed a trace of subtle change.

There was surprise, also unexpectedness, and even more a kind of indescribable complex emotion.

It was very obvious they all didn't expect that Wang Xiaohua had actually already gotten married.
