Chapter 412: One Must Look Forward

I was speechless when I heard it.

When he lay down on the kang, he complained to Yi Chichi, who was protecting his hand, "My mother is becoming more and more willful."

"She's worked so hard for so many years, it's time for her to be a little willful."

Wen Shi sighed, "Wife, you are completely on Mom's side now."

"Not really."

Yi Chichi felt it necessary to talk to him, "Life is short, and Mom is getting old."

We are not living in the future with abundant resources, so if you want to live a long life, it depends on your genes.

What's more, Wen's mother was a person who came back from the battlefield. She had suffered a lot and was injured a lot.

"As long as she doesn't break the law, she can live the way she wants. Stop nagging her."

"I didn't say anything."

Wen Shi said confidently, "I'm just worried about her health."

"Don't worry, I'm watching."

Wen Shi thought so too, so he stopped worrying about it and changed the subject.

"How's your tiger embroidery going?"

"Most of it has been embroidered."

Yi Chichi was very happy. Her hard work paid off and the embroidery was completed ahead of schedule.

"Where's the willowherb?"

"Her thing is faster than mine."

Liu Lan's two embroidery pieces are both small in size, and the patterns are relatively less complicated than hers, so they will be completed earlier than hers.

Wen Shi nodded, "Will it be finished by the time I get back?"

As soon as Yi Chichi heard it, he knew there was something wrong.

She looked at the man whose features were soft and stunning in the dim light, and frowned as she asked, "Have you been to Uncle Ning's place?"

"I went."

Lipsticks, imported watches and the like are only available in department stores and Friendship Stores. He is not familiar with the department store, but he has acquaintances in the Friendship Store.

If you want to buy something, you naturally have to find someone you know.

Furthermore, "I was asked to visit the old lady of the Ning family."

Yi Chichi asked, "So Uncle Ning asked you to take the embroidery with you when you return?"

He hummed, "Can I take it away?"

“I can’t take it with me.”

There is not enough time. There are only about twenty days left before Wen Shi returns to the team. It is impossible to complete the project.

"There's still time for the wedding and to accompany me to work."

It would be fine if we didn't talk about this topic, but once we do, we start talking about the same old things again.

"Wife, we haven't had the wedding yet."

Yi Chichi paused, damn it, why did she bring up this matter again to arouse his addiction.

Turning to look at him, the moment their eyes met, Yi Chichi saw clear expectation and yearning in his eyes.

In an instant, the rejection was about to come out of his mouth and he swallowed it back.

But she still wanted to struggle, "Lao Wen, why are you so obsessed with hosting a banquet?"

"Other girls have wedding banquets no matter how poor they are, but I can't let you go without one."

This damn competitive mentality is simply speechless.

However, she really had no expectations for the wedding now.

So he said in a negotiating tone, "Can we do it later?"

Wait until the reform and opening up. Even if you can't wear a bright red Chinese wedding dress, a wedding gown, a bridal suit with the characteristics of the era, and plastic hair on your head are still acceptable.

Now……

Since she couldn't say anything and couldn't wear anything out of the ordinary, she had no expectations for the wedding at all.

"So when do you want to do it?"

“…You’ll know when the time comes.”

Unable to give a specific time, Yi Chi Chi could only give him some excuses. Wen Shi was dissatisfied with the answer and opened his mouth to speak, but Yi Chi Chi suddenly rushed over and pushed him down, saying with a smile, "Stop talking about these insignificant things, let's do something happy."

Before he finished speaking, there was a click, and the room, which was originally dimly lit, was shrouded in darkness.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafts between the nostrils.

Then……

Have a good sleep in the middle of the night.

Time flies, and it is the day for Wu Yongfei and Ge Sujuan to get married.

Yi Chichi brought skin care products, duck egg powder, lipstick and other things that Wen Shi brought back for her to the Youth League Home to put makeup on Ge Sujuan.

It was lively when the female soldiers gathered together.

Wang Nan and the others watched Yi Chichi change Ge Sujuan's face bit by bit, with shock and amazement in their eyes.

Liu Lan was even more envious and said, "I was never painted this beautiful before I got married."

Yi Chichi was applying eye makeup to Ge Sujuan. Without even looking up, she said, "You didn't have so many equipment when you got married. I tried my best."

Not to mention Liu Lan, when she did Wang Nan's makeup, she also used a minimalist style.

There is no way, a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Lang Hong had taken a day off from Uncle Yaozi today and didn't go to the team doctor's office. Hearing the noise, she said to Yi Chichi, "When I get married, can you do my makeup for me, too?"

"sure."

The prerequisite is that Lang Hong was still in Kaoshantun when she got married, otherwise this makeup would not be completed no matter what.

Zhou Qiuyu felt strange, "Why do you want to get married?"

Lang Hong was even more puzzled than her. "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Isn't that normal? Why don't you want to get married?"

This is a good question, and it speaks to the thoughts of everyone present.

Zhou Qiuyu probably didn't expect to be asked this question back. She was stunned for a long time before she said softly, "I feel like getting married is boring."

What's the point?

Most gay men are like her father, with little ability and a bad temper.

Be a grandfather at home and a grandson outside.

In front of outsiders, no one can be more cowardly than him.

It was the same when he was the boss at home. Her mother's words could make him beat her up, and they, her daughters, couldn't escape either.

Being beaten and scolded was commonplace.

But this is not what disgusts her the most. The most disgusting thing is that her mother turns a blind eye to their suffering and even aggravates their suffering.

My eldest sister was exchanged for thirty kilograms of coarse grains and died of complications during childbirth after marriage.

The second sister had a stubborn temper and was beaten black and blue for talking back. In a fit of rage, she jumped into the river during the flood season and her body was completely destroyed.

Then there's the third sister...

If all the children of the Zhou family had bad luck, she would just accept it.

But the appearance of her younger brother and sister made her realize a reality, that is, her parents did not love her sisters.

In the eyes and hearts of her parents, only her younger brothers and sisters are their children.

What are these sisters? At most, they are just objects that work in exchange for food and money.

Moreover, this phenomenon is not limited to her family, the same situation exists all over her hometown.

At least her parents were willing to let them live. Some families would either abandon or kill their newborn girls.

male……

Sighing, she said, "I feel like I'm better off living on my own."

You don’t have to work like a horse during the day to support yourself, and then go home to take care of your parents and children at night.

You also have to be on guard against men starting to beat you up if you disagree with them.

Just thinking about such days made her feel desperate.

"I have no idea about getting married."

"Actually, getting married isn't as bad as you think."

Wang Nan understood her situation and couldn't help but offer some advice, "You have to look forward. Don't dwell on the hardships of the past. If you look toward the bright future, you'll find that you can still look forward to the future."

Zhou Qiuyu smiled and said, "I know this truth, so I plan to live alone."
