1970s Spicy Mom: Marrying a Military Officer and Having Twins

At twenty-three years old, Shen Fenghua was plagued by infertility, making her marriage unstable. She had thought she could live her whole life alone, but the organization, hoping to give her a sta...

Chapter 16 I Want to Support My Grandmother (shuhaige.net)

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Fenghua became increasingly satisfied with Huo Qingming.

So, Shen Fenghua thought it was time to move on to the next stage. If even this was fine, then they could get married right away.

She did everything she should and shouldn't have done, and even after getting married, she's still like a completely different person...

We'll see when the time comes.

"By the way, I've been thinking about enrolling the kids in school lately. They're all cooped up at home all day, doing nothing, they're turning into little idiots."

"Go to school?" Shen Fenghua thought for a moment, "What grade?"

"Both brothers have missed school, let them start from first grade."

“She doesn’t recognize a single word, how can she go to first grade? She has to start from kindergarten,” Shen Fenghua frowned and clicked her tongue. “Don’t worry about this, let me see what we should do.”

After all, she had her own ulterior motives. If she got the child into the military compound, things would get complicated.

“Okay,” Qi Ye said, pushing his bicycle with a hint of probing, “Then tomorrow I’ll bring the two kids out, and we can go shopping together?”

“Sure,” Shen Fenghua readily agreed.

Qi Ye chuckled foolishly, and then said, "Then, then I'll submit a relationship report to the authorities."

A relationship report?

Shen Fenghua slapped her forehead, realizing she had almost forgotten about it. "Go ahead and make the call. I should be fine on my end."

Thinking of her grandmother, Shen Fenghua hadn't found a suitable opportunity to tell her at first, but now this was a perfect opportunity to be honest.

"etc……"

Qi Ye: "?"

The smile froze on his face. What's wrong? We were just talking, and now we have to wait?

"What's wrong?" Qi Ye swallowed hard. "Is there any other problem?"

"Do you have anything planned for tonight?"

"It's okay, just say what you want to say."

“Alright,” Shen Fenghua closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and decided to be frank for today. “I do have something to say, but this isn’t the place to talk. Shall we go somewhere else?”

The closest thing to the two of them was the iced soda vendor, with a bicycle standing to the side. More than half a month had passed, and Shen Fenghua still felt like laughing when she looked at it. She reached out and poked the corner of the table with her finger. "Hey, does this look familiar?"

"Why doesn't this table look familiar?" Qi Ye laughed. "What a coincidence, after all this time, I've chosen this table again."

This is where the two first met.

The image of Shen Fenghua holding a glass, looking so arrogant, remained vivid in Qi Ye's mind.

Even today.

As soon as the chilled soda was served, Shen Fenghua took a sip, feeling refreshed and cool as it slid down her throat. She then said, "I actually need to tell you something."

"Okay, go ahead."

Qi Ye sat upright and solemnly.

"When we met at Sister Yanran's house, you must have known about my family situation by now."

“Hmm,” Qi Ye thought for a moment, not knowing what Shen Fenghua was referring to, but said, “I know you have two siblings, you are the second oldest, your eldest brother is married and has two children, and you have a younger sister who just graduated from high school.”

“Hmm,” Shen Fenghua fiddled with her fingers and pursed her lips, “Then let me tell you more about myself. I grew up with my maternal grandmother in the countryside. My parents had their own favorite children, and I wasn’t even considered one of them at home.”

"So?" Qi Ye pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Then don't worry, you're the eldest in our family."

This seemingly loyal remark stunned Shen Fenghua. When she came to her senses, she smiled. For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit more confident about bringing her grandmother to her side.

“My maternal grandmother is getting old now,” Shen Fenghua raised her head, looked directly into Qi Ye’s eyes, and said seriously, “My aunt is a bit stingy, and my maternal grandmother’s life over there is not very good. I was thinking that I would bring my maternal grandmother to live with me and take care of her when the time comes.

"I'm fine with that!" Qi Ye agreed almost instantly. "But, does Grandma know I exist?"

Qi Ye pondered for a moment, "Will you dislike me then? I also have two children. They're not too naughty, so we should be able to get along well, right?"

"You, you, you..." Shen Fenghua blinked. "I'm telling you, I'm not joking with you, and I'm not testing you. I really, really intend to bring Grandma over."

"Take it!" Qi Ye decided immediately. "Besides this, are there any other questions?"

Looking into Qi Ye's dark eyes, which were full of sincerity, Shen Fenghua thought to herself, "I've spent half my life following the rules and scheming, but this time, I'll gamble. If I lose, I'll take a knife and fight him."

"That's all!" Shen Fenghua stood up, picked up the iced soda, and drank it all in one gulp. "Stop writing a dating report, just write a marriage report! We met through a blind date, why bother with dating, just get married."

She quickly calculated in her mind, "I'll take the child out tomorrow. I don't need to rush to buy books and notebooks. I'll buy two new outfits first to get ready. We'll go to the countryside to see my maternal grandmother on Saturday."

In her eyes, the people living in the tenement building were not even worth a finger of her grandmother.

When you're dating, you definitely have to take your girlfriend home to meet your grandmother first.

"Really?" Qi Ye's eyes lit up. "Then, what does Grandma like?"

I met your parents.

I'm so happy!

"Let's put aside what Grandma likes for now, I'll handle that. What I want to ask you about is the house, how's that going?"

Qi Ye: "It will take some time, but don't worry, it will definitely be finalized before September."

“No need to solve it,” Shen Fenghua said decisively. “We have a house with a small yard in our factory. I’ll move in there and bring the two kids with me. We’ll transfer their household registration and they can attend the steel factory’s affiliated school. My maternal grandmother can stay here and take care of their meals.”

Qi Ye felt like he'd been hit over the head with a pie. "But, won't Grandma be too tired taking care of two kids?"

"I'm not tired," Grandma said. She's not that old; it would be the other way around if she stayed home all day with nothing to do.

I'm always getting bullied at my uncle's house, so it's better to come here. I won't have to worry about food or drink. I can catch three chicks and raise them in the yard. I can also cultivate two small vegetable plots in the yard. I can plant whatever I want and have a good meal.

"However, you'll have to cooperate with me then."

Grandma's thinking is still stuck in the old-age security concept of raising children to provide for her. If I suddenly go over and offer to take her over, she might not be willing. However, if I lower my stance a bit and coax her over first, saying I'll help take care of the children...

Given how much Grandma doted on me, I'll be able to get through that big meal.
