The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

In a daze, Lele felt something hot near his ears.

She was a little tired after two days of train travel. Although it was a sleeper, the carriage was noisy and she was a light sleeper, so she couldn't sleep well. So when she lay down just now, the soft bed was particularly comfortable and she fell asleep quickly.

Until she felt a warm breath beside her ear. She tried to open her eyes, but she was still in a daze. There was no one beside her, but Wei Wuya was standing at the door of the room looking at her.

She rubbed her eyes and said, "Brother, what's wrong? I was so sleepy that I fell asleep."

Wei Wuya glanced at Lele, still with a lazy and stinky face, "It's okay, you go to sleep, my mother will be back soon, so I'll see if you're awake."

"Oh, then I'll get up." Lele just got up, because she didn't cover herself with a quilt. The soft bed was a little dented by her sleeping, but all the sheets were still neat and tidy.

Then she heard the sound of the combination lock, and as the door opened, her godmother's sweet laughter came in.

"Lele, Lele, you are here."

The guest room was right at the entrance. Lele saw his godmother at a glance and walked up to her happily, "Well, I'll come to see you as soon as I get off the train." He looked happy and well-behaved, completely different from the way he looked in front of Wei Wuya.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for two years. Did you miss me?" The middle-aged woman looked radiant, with tight, fair and translucent skin. Her carefully permed hair was casually tied up. The dark green jade jewelry on her hands, ears and neck made her look elegant and luxurious.

"Yes, I do. Very much." Lele acted coquettishly in front of the woman.

"Go take a shower first. When your godfather comes back from get off work, we'll go eat." Godmother said, pulling Lele's hand into the room.

"Where is your luggage?" asked godmother.

"I left it at the station. It's too heavy to drag." Lele said with a smile. In fact, she didn't want to stay here for too long, so she left it there on purpose.

"You should have called earlier. Your brother is at home. Let her pick you up." Godmother scolded.

"No need to go through so much trouble. Transportation is so convenient now." Lele said with a smile.

"Then I'll find you some clothes. You go take a shower first. You're so tired after two days on the train. Why don't you take a plane back?" The godmother kept nagging.

"I came back at the last minute and the air ticket is so expensive, haha." Lele did not hide it. Her godmother was very good to her.

"Then just tell me and I'll buy it for you! Your face has turned pale after sitting on the train for two days." The godmother pinched Lele's face, her eyes full of heartache.

"No more." Lele touched his godmother's hand.

"Didn't you eat well? You've lost weight again. You have to take good care of yourself when you are alone outside. This is not okay." The godmother looked at Lele's body with a worried look on her face.

"I'm fine now. I'm going to take a shower." Lele said as he took the clothes and bathrobe that his godmother had found for him and went to the shower room in the guest room.

After she finished her shower and was getting dressed at the dressing table, she vaguely heard the conversation between her godmother and Wei Wuya.

"Son, can you be more proactive? It's not like you don't like Lele. You just have a sour face all day long and don't even bother to pick him up when he comes."

"Ok!"

"I really don't know what you're thinking. You don't dislike Lele, do you? Let me tell you, with Lele's looks and figure, where else can you find someone like her? She was born in the countryside, so what? She graduated from a top 985 university. You don't know what you're made of. Anyway, we're not short of money, and having a well-educated daughter-in-law will make it easier to raise our children in the future."

"I don't mind."

"Then what are you thinking? You're like that every day, never saying a word, never smiling." "You're a man, and men should take the initiative. If your father hadn't taken the initiative, would I have married him? He's short and ugly."

Lele turned on the hair dryer, and the sound of the hair dryer gradually drowned out the voices outside.

Lele sighed, and she remembered the process of recognizing a godmother that her mother had told her countless times.

(Memory dividing line-----------

Lele's mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to her. At that time, most rural women gave birth at home, but Lele's fetal position was abnormal, and one arm came out first. Seeing that the birth could not take place at home, Lele's father took time out of his busy schedule - it was the autumn harvest season - to drive a tractor to take Lele's mother to the county hospital.

The doctor took the surgery notice and asked the family to sign it. If there was an accident, the only option was to save the baby. After Lele's father signed it, he went back to work, leaving Lele's mother in the hospital for a caesarean section.

Fortunately, both the size and size were saved. However, due to heavy bleeding, Lele's mother had a vasectomy and could not have another child.

When the great-grandmother heard that she had really given birth to another daughter, she urged Lele's father, who was busy working in the fields, to use money to find someone to exchange for his son. Lele's father worked silently without saying a word - where could he get the money!

Lele wasn't covered by the family planning policy. They'd hoped for a son, but it ended up being a girl. Not only could they not have another child, but they also had to pay a fine. Grandma was so angry her mouth twisted.

Grandma, on the other hand, was more sensible. "I don't want to change it if I have to. After all, it's our own flesh and blood. A girl is a girl!"

Although Lele was accepted, the family was busy and no one came to the hospital to look after Lele's mother.

Living in the same delivery room with Lele's mother was a beautiful woman - Lele's godmother. Wei Wuya was born a day earlier than Lele.

My godmother is Lin Xianglan, who works at a grain station, and my godfather is Wei Qifeng, who works at a bank. They were a working couple in the 80s.

Lin Xianglan looked at Lele's mother in the next bed. Because she didn't eat much after giving birth and had insufficient milk, Lele kept crying and no one took care of her. She looked very pitiful.

She shared her food with Lele's mother and shared the milk powder for Wei Wuya with Lele.

She asked Lele's mother if the child had been named yet. Lele's mother shook her head and said, "Our custom is that children cannot be named before they are born! His father is not around anymore, so he hasn't been named yet."

Lin Xianglan smiled and said, "What a broken rule."

She looked at the crying baby and said, "Such a cute little girl should be happy and cheerful, so let's name her Lele."

Lele's mother, who has never been to school, likes this name very much.

Lin Xianglan likes Lele very much and wants a girl. Lele is born with fair skin and big, bright eyes, which always stare at Xianglan.

When she was discharged from the hospital, she left the remaining milk powder, diapers and nutritional supplements to Lele's mother.

The two families became connected here.

At that time, farmers had to pay grain taxes every year. When the autumn harvest came, Lele's family would drive a tractor to the grain station in the city to deliver the grain. Lele loved this day the most because after paying the grain taxes, he could sell the grain and get paid immediately. His father would take them out to eat and buy them candy.

Ever since they met Lin Xianglan, selling grain has been very smooth. There is no need to queue. When the truck arrives, they weigh the grain and pay for it. Lin Xianglan always hugs Lele at this time, pinching her little face, touching her head, touching her hands, and it is obvious that she can't let go of her.

She would buy Wahaha for Lele to drink, and every time before paying her taxes, she would prepare a large bag of clothes for Lele and the others to take with them when they left.

Of course, every time I have to pester Lele’s dad, “Let Lele recognize me as his godmother!”

Lele's father looked at the city woman and shook his head. "Who are you? Who are we? We can't afford her."

Lin Xianglan was not annoyed and asked again the next year.

It was not until Lele was 6 years old that Lin Xianglan went to the countryside to visit Lele's home.

Lele's home was a typical quadrangle courtyard, with a main hall for receiving guests. Xianglan sat in the main hall, but she could not see Lele. Because when guests came, the children were told not to run around and stayed in the kitchen. Lele was burning firewood for his mother who was cooking.

When Xianglan came in, Lele was playing with a small fire stick. His face was covered with black ash and looked dirty.

Xianglan didn't dislike it at all. She pulled Lele over and held Lele's little face in her hands. "Lele, how about being my goddaughter?"

Lele looked at this beautiful aunt who was so kind to her. She didn't know what a goddaughter was, so she nodded unconsciously.

Seeing Lele nod, Lin Xianglan happily ran to call Lele's father, "Old Chang, Old Chang, the child herself has agreed, so you can let Lele be my goddaughter!"

Lele's father held a cigarette in his hand, remained silent, neither saying good nor bad, and shook his head.
