The purpose of the second courtyard house purchased by Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie was very obvious. They just wanted to leave it there for appreciation. They had no other plans for the moment. Liang Baozhen originally wanted to let her eldest sister and second brother live there, but she was worried that people would think she was buying a house to subsidize her parents' family, so she first tried to suggest renting it out.

See what Xu Shengjie says.

As a result, Xu Shengjie understood and spoke directly, "Why don't you let your eldest sister and her husband live there? And your second brother and his family can go there if they want to move out. It's hard to rent a house now, and it will be even harder to get a room in the future. Even if we rent it out, the monthly income is not much. We can get it back by selling a few more clothes. There is no need to rent it out.

"I think your suggestion is very good." Liang Baozhen has learned from her mother that in order to avoid being retaliated by her father later, she should let the other party take the initiative to propose it. "Is it settled then?"

In fact, Xu Shengjie really didn't care about the money of renting out a house. His business was good and he made a lot of money every month. It was really meaningless to rent out a house for only a few dollars a month. Besides, if he rented a house to outsiders, they might mess up the yard. It was better to give it to his family, who would definitely know how to take care of it.

Of course, the most important thing is, how could he not see what his wife is thinking?

I wanted to let the Liang family's eldest sister and second brother live with me, but it was not easy to ask directly.

"That's probably what grandma meant. You can talk to your elder sister and the others directly. It's really uncomfortable to live in that tube building. We also suffered for many years when we were squeezed into the big courtyard."

Liang Baoying and Song Jianguo's family lived in a crowded tube-shaped building. It was unrealistic for them to wait until the soda factory allocated a large house. They also couldn't get a number for renting a house after registering at the street office. There were too many people in the city now and there were not enough houses. It was already good for a family of three to have a 20-square-meter house.

"Sister, you guys can live in the main house of the courtyard house in Xinyan Hutong. It's spacious for the three of you, and you can ask my second brother and his family to move out. It's too crowded for them to live together with Shuping's parents, brother and sister-in-law. The remaining two rooms can be left for my parents and Baoling. If one of them is vacant, they'll have a place to stay if they want to move to the city." Liang Baozhen had already thought it through. Everything was ready, so they could just move in.

Liang Baoying went with her third sister to see the courtyard house, which was also very grand, especially the main house, which was spacious and bright.

"Then I won't be polite to you!" Liang Baoying was looking forward to a more spacious place, for Mengmeng as well. It was much more spacious in the countryside before, and the children could run around freely. Now it's too confined. "But we have to pay the rent, we can't take advantage of you."

"What's the rent?"

"As the saying goes, brothers should be clear about their accounts. The rent is based on the market price, which is indeed not much. It is difficult to rent outside. We are already taking advantage. Your in-laws have taken the lion's share of the money for this house. We can't have another bowl after eating the bowl in our bowl. Don't be stubborn with me. I will give you this little money easily now."

"Okay, sister, you are a little rich woman now."

Being teased by the girl, Liang Baoying blushed. What a little rich woman! But she did save a lot of money from her business. Although she couldn't afford to buy a courtyard house, her savings account had already exceeded four figures. She also bought a black and white TV. Life was getting better and better.

Song Jianguo was overjoyed when he learned that his wife, sister and brother-in-law wanted them to move in. Who doesn't want to live in a spacious house?

"We must pay the rent!"

"Of course. I've already made an agreement with Baozhen. The rent is ten yuan a month, and we'll live in the main room. Baojun and his family are also moving in. They don't want to be crowded with Shuping's family, so they'll live in the east wing."

"That's great, we can have a spacious house in Mengmeng!"

Song Jianguo called his daughter into the house and held Meng Meng, whose hair had grown longer, in his arms. "Meng Meng, do you want to live in a big house?"

"think!"

Song Jianguo smiled as he watched the lady smile. Thinking of the number in the bankbook at home, he felt a little embarrassed. "You see, we finally saved 5,000 yuan. It's very impressive to say that we are a half-million-yuan household. We are still 17,000 yuan away from the price of a courtyard house that Baozhen and her friends bought back then. But now, the price of courtyard houses outside has risen to 33,000 yuan. We are 28,000 yuan away. It's really infuriating. The price is rising too fast. Can we catch up?"

Liang Baoying runs a stall selling food and drinks every day. Her business is good and she earns a considerable income every month, but it cannot keep up with the rising price of courtyard houses.

"Let's try harder. Anyway, it's good enough that we can live in Baozhen's home now."

"Do you think it's stupid for me to earn so little money in the factory?" Song Jianguo began to think about this question for the first time. The state-owned factory job that he was proud of seemed a little insignificant compared to the rapid development speed outside.

"What? You want to quit your job and go into the adult industry?" Liang Baoying suddenly raised her voice. She knew her man's temper very well, and it would be strange if he even had this thought.

"No, no." Song Jianguo was brought back to his senses by his wife's shout. No, no, he is a glorious working class and cannot quit this job!

Half a month later, Liang Baoying and Liang Baojun's families moved into the Xinyan Hutong courtyard and became Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie's nominal "tenants".

The two families lived in a courtyard house, which was completely enough and there was still plenty left. They all consciously paid rent to my sister and brother-in-law. No matter what, this form could not be lost.

Liang Zhigao and Song Chunhua also brought Baoling to the city. They were very happy to see the whole family living together. It was so nice that brothers and sisters could be neighbors again.

The Chinese New Year is the busiest time of the year.

The Xu family and the Liang family all went to the courtyard house in Chunri Hutong, and a total of fifteen people celebrated a lively reunion year.

Liang Baoying should have gone with her husband Song Jianguo to the Song family to celebrate the New Year, as it has always been a tradition. However, a few days before the New Year, Song Jianguo had a big fight with his family, and the family decided to just come here to celebrate the New Year.

Liang Baozhen, Liang Baoying and Xu Shuping were making dumplings at a square table in the yard. This year there were three kinds of fillings: pork and leek, mutton and cabbage, and pork and three fresh fillings.

This pig came from Liang Zhigao's farm. Thirty kilograms of it were brought here before the Chinese New Year, which made Zhou Yun's eyes brimming with envy. For someone who has experienced hardship, seeing so much pork meat can only make one's heart beat fast.

On the 29th day of the lunar year, people knead the dough to make dumpling skins and mix the fillings to make dumplings.

The plump white dumplings gradually filled the square table.

"Sister, are my brother-in-law and his parents really noisy?" Liang Baozhen was bored while making dumplings, so she started to ask. Xu Shuping was also curious and pricked up her ears to listen.

"What are you arguing about? You're still arguing during Chinese New Year." Everyone generally agrees that the most important thing is not to quarrel or lose temper during the Chinese New Year, and to spend a harmonious year together.

Liang Baoying gets a headache when this matter is mentioned.

"My parents-in-law disliked that we only had one daughter and no son, so they kept urging us to have another son."

"Ah? Isn't it family planning now? The law is so strict outside, and they are still urging you to have a second child?" Xu Shuping didn't plan to have another child. One was enough. She just followed the call of the country.

"Who said it wasn't true? I've heard that some pregnant women were forced to have an abortion..." Liang Baoying felt a little uncomfortable when she said this. As a mother, who could bear to hear such things? "I've told my mother-in-law that I can't have another baby now. Besides, who can guarantee that the next baby will be a son? If I give birth to a girl, will she make a fuss again?"

"What did she say?" Liang Baozhen wrapped a dumpling, pinched the mouth tightly, and threw it into the bowl. The three bowls on the table should have been filled with about 400 dumplings. She shouted to her brother-in-law in the distance, "Xiao Wei, come and take the dumplings to the pot."

Liang Baoying helped pass the basin full of dumplings to Xu Shengwei while saying, "She made it so easy for us to give birth secretly in the countryside, saying that no one would find out."

"Who said it can't be discovered? The elder sister next door gave birth to a baby in the countryside. It was discovered. She used to be a match factory worker, but now she was fired. She lost her job and her child. Now she cries at the factory gate every day... It's pitiful to see the thief." Xu Shuping felt that her elder sister's mother-in-law's words were unreliable. "If it is really discovered, you will suffer."

After all, Song Jianguo was still a worker in a soda factory.

"Right, Jianguo and I have already said that we can't have children, and it will affect Jianguo's work. He is now a third-level worker in the factory, which is considered a decent job. The soda factory has already held a staff meeting and repeatedly emphasized that it is not allowed to have two or three children. Just have one. If anyone is found to have more than one child, they will be fired directly."

"Don't you think your mother-in-law cares about her son's job?"

"She did care, but I didn't expect that caring more than her grandson was important. She thought that Jianguo would be extinct without a son, so she kept nagging him, saying that Jianguo had worked the night shift a few days ago, and when he came home and slept in the morning, she woke him up. She also wanted to persuade him to have a baby, and as she was persuading him, the mother and son started arguing.

I closed the stall and went home to listen to Mengmeng's story. She said it was the first time she saw her father and grandmother quarreling like that. I think Jianguo was also driven to desperation. He didn't go home for the New Year this year and said he would come here. "

"Oh, every family has its own problems." Xu Shuping sighed.

"Anyway, it was them who quarreled. Don't blame your mother-in-law on you. Let them solve it themselves." Liang Baozhen felt a headache after listening to this. Her eldest sister was really terrible. How could she end up with such a bad in-law family?

"Stop chatting and eat dumplings first." Liang Baojun came over to call people. The big pot of dumplings was already cooked.

There are 400 in total, and each person has a big bowl. They are all plump, thin-skinned dumplings with meat fillings. When you take a bite, the gravy flows out, mixed with the aroma of leeks or cabbage and three fresh ingredients. It is fresh and delicious.

"Let's see who can eat the one with a coin. Grandma made them herself. She said that whoever eats the one with a coin will have the best luck next year." Xu Shengya reminded everyone that there were three dumplings with coins among the four hundred dumplings.

Fearing that the children might swallow it all in one gulp, the adults specifically instructed Shanshan and Mengmeng. As for Liang Baojun and Xu Shuping's son, who was still young, his mother was still feeding him, and Xu Shuping could crush it and feed it to him.

Shanshan got excited when she heard there were coins in the dumplings. She sat next to her cousin and whispered to each other about wanting to eat the coins. Liang Baoling and Xu Shengya also sat next to each other, wanting to see who would be luckier.

The dumplings taste good, I'll have another bowl after finishing one.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh, "Life conditions are good now, and we can eat as many dumplings as we want. It's great."

"Grandma, next year we'll make some other flavors and try everything."

"good!"

Xu Shengjie put a dumpling from his bowl into Baozhen's bowl and lifted his chin for her to eat. Liang Baozhen knew what he meant and took a bite, and indeed, she bit into a hard coin.

"I ate the coin!" She held the coin and smiled as brightly as a rose.

Of course, the others saw what Xu Shengjie did, and they all started to boo and condemn him, "Xiaojie almost fed it to you!"

"Not worth it, let's start over. We still have two."

"Hahahaha you just envy me!"

"It doesn't matter whether my wife or I eat it." Xu Shengjie recognized the dumpling wrapped with a coin because he happened to see his grandmother wrapping the third coin and the dumpling skin was almost torn. His grandmother then pinched it tightly, making the dumpling a slightly different shape.

"Did you hear me, Liang Baojun? Help me find it." Xu Shuping smiled and pushed her man's hand, "Look at your brother-in-law, then look at yourself!"

Liang Baojun: "..."

Why is it rolled up? It's just a coin.

Song Jianguo realized that he was looking at the dumplings in his bowl before Baoying said anything, but who could understand?

After all, it's not a X-ray eye.

A group of people were busy fighting for the last two coins, but Liang Baozhen actually scored twice.

This time, she actually ate the coin herself!

"I ate it again, I ate it by myself!" Her beaming joy as she raised the coin infected everyone. What's going on, why is it her again!

"There's one last one!"

“The last coin might be in my bowl.” Xu Shengwei always had a hunch that there was a coin in every bite.

Song Chunhua said to Liang Zhigao, "Our baby is just lucky!"

Liang Baozhen had already won twice, which was enough. She stopped participating and watched with a smile to see who could get the last coin. She swallowed her dumplings slowly and was ready to take a break after finishing the last two dumplings in the bowl.

As she was eating, she realized something was wrong. The taste, huh? It didn't seem right.

This time she was no longer excited and just said to everyone weakly, "I think I ate the third coin."

Everyone: “…???”

That’s too much!

This year's Spring Festival Gala has arrived as scheduled. The Chinese New Year is the most important event for all Chinese people throughout the year, and the Spring Festival Gala broadcast live on New Year's Eve is the event that everyone is looking forward to.

However, the penetration rate of television sets is not high nowadays, and buying a television set is a luxury for most families. Both the high price and the precious TV tickets hinder people from watching TV programs.

Therefore, going to neighbors' houses to watch TV has become a trend.

The Xu family was also generous and warmly entertained neighbors who came to watch TV.

Before the New Year, when preparing for the New Year, the family bought ten kilograms of melon seeds and peanuts, as well as egg cakes, red shrimp crisps, rice candies, jujube crisps, and two boxes of soda from the soda factory that Song Jianguo brought over...

At this moment, as the Spring Festival Gala music opened, Liang Baozhen put all the candies and cakes on the table and invited everyone to eat.

"Baozhen, stop busying yourself and sit down and watch."

There were more than twenty people crammed into the house, including the Xu and Liang families, as well as a dozen neighbors. Everyone was packed into the house.

"Why did the Spring Festival Gala change its venue this year?"

"This must be a gymnasium, there are so many people here!"

"Wow, the actress from Lushan Love has come out."

This year's Spring Festival Gala was very fresh, with many differences from the previous two years. The most surprising thing was the change of venue, from an indoor studio to the large Workers' Stadium. This change put a lot of pressure on the narrow TV set. It was already difficult to see people clearly, and now with the zoomed camera, it was even more difficult to see.

Everyone involuntarily turned to look at the TV, but forget it, the place is too big, so let's just listen to the music.

Beautiful music, lively dances, hilarious crosstalk...all of them are fascinating. Nowadays, there are few entertainment options, and being able to have such a large-scale party and see so many programs is enough for everyone to reminisce for a year.

We discuss the program from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and only turn the page when next year's Spring Festival Gala begins.

There was a dance performance on TV, and Shanshan could no longer sit still while watching it. Her hands and feet started jumping around. She and a little girl of the same age from the next door neighborhood saw one or two moves and started to imitate them, their little heads shaking.

The adults actually wanted to go too, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it. They are too grown-ups, how could they do such a thing?

Then someone started to make a noise, "Shanshan and Xiaofang, come to the front and dance for everyone."

"I just saw them dancing very well."

Xiaofang was a little shy. Just now she and Shanshan were twisting around in the open space at the back of the house, and now she had to go to the front and be seen by so many people. She felt her face burning.

Shanshan didn't care. It didn't matter where she danced. Seeing that Xiaofang couldn't be persuaded, she simply ran up and stood next to the TV, dancing to the music.

The adults all grinned as they watched Shanshan jump and twist freely, and thought the child danced very well.

Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie were also sitting nearby, watching the lady dancing around with her little face raised, and they laughed along. Xu Shengjie even picked up his camera and took a picture of the lady.

The spacious main room was packed with people, all staring at the black-and-white TV in front of them. However, a cute little girl in a blue floral cotton jacket dancing next to the TV was even more eye-catching.

“You dance really well.”

"You Shanshan are really not shy. You just jump up and down as soon as you are told to." The older sister from the next door neighborhood came up to Liang Baozhen and said.

"This girl is so cute. If she's happy, she'll jump anywhere."

"Good."

When the dance ended, Shanshan also stopped moving. She remembered that at the end of every Spring Festival Gala, the performers had to bow before leaving the stage, so she followed suit and bowed to everyone.

"Oh, Shanshan is so cute."

"You danced very well, applause everyone!"

There was warm applause in the room. Shanshan felt a little shy at this moment. She was not shy when she was dancing, but after she finished dancing and woke up, she started to feel embarrassed.

He flew directly to his mother, his big eyes sparkling, "Mom, am I dancing well?"

Dad answered first, rubbing the girl's hairy head, "You danced very well."

There were also people from Beijing City TV station participating in the production of the Spring Festival Gala. Liang Baozhen knew two of them. While watching the show, she told Xu Shengjie, "Sister Wang and Brother Huang from our station both participated. Everyone was envious. Although their faces were not shown, I heard that their names would appear in the list of behind-the-scenes staff at the end."

"This is indeed an honor. Will you try to get one next time?"

"You have a nice idea, but can we just go there casually?"

"Maybe, maybe you will have a chance in the future." Xu Shengjie thought, "But then we can't celebrate the New Year together as a family. You'll be at the Spring Festival Gala, and we'll be at home."

Liang Baozhen: "..."

This person really thinks too much.

As the night deepened, the neighbors packed up and went home. Everyone knew that they didn't want to disturb others too late.

"Drive slowly on the road. Be careful of the slippery ground." Zhou Yun kept reminding everyone and sent them to the door of the main hall, watching a group of people disappear in his yard.

Xu Shengwei waited until all the neighbors had left before he unbolted the gate and locked it tightly. It was so cold that he went out wearing only a wool sweater, and within a minute he was shivering.

"Hey guys, it's cold outside."

As he nimbly jumped into the house, Shanshan struggled to close the door and pushed the wooden door with both hands to block the wind and snow outside. Unfortunately, she was not tall enough and could not reach the wooden bolt.

Liang Baoling stood aside and put the wooden cork on her niece.

"Aunt, let's go back and watch the show!"

There were only family members left in the room. A qigong performance was going on on TV. Everyone had never seen such a magical thing before and kept clapping and cheering.

Zhou Yun smiled and stood up to cook glutinous rice balls, but as soon as she moved, she was stopped by Xu Shengjie, "Grandma, please sit down, I will go cook."

Unable to persuade his grandson, Zhou Yun gave up and told him, "Cook more. There are many people here today and it's very lively."

"Know."

It’s almost eleven o’clock and everyone still has to stay up to celebrate the New Year. Eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls in the cold night can warm the body.

Seeing this, several people in the room were ready to help, but Liang Baozhen stopped them all and said, "Just cook some glutinous rice balls. It's enough for the two of us. You guys just watch TV."

"Okay, then we won't be polite and just wait to eat." Liang Baoying said to the girl.

Xu Shuping was holding her son, patting him to sleep, "Let's eat a few more later."

Liang Baozhen went to the stove with a smile on her face. Xu Shengjie had already boiled a pot of water and was preparing the glutinous rice balls that he had wrapped in advance.

This year’s glutinous rice balls are the same as usual, with black sesame and peanut fillings. The plump, round and white glutinous rice balls are put into the pot one after another and gradually become soft.

Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie, both wrapped in military coats, stood in front of the pot, stirring the glutinous rice balls from time to time.

"Go back to the room later and pack the money for the children as they receive their first birthday presents." Liang Baozhen has been very busy these past two days and only just remembered this.

"Okay, I'll go make it in a minute." Xu Shengjie nodded in agreement, then thought of something and continued, "Make a big one for Shanshan."

"How old is she? Why is she giving so much money as a New Year's gift?"

"Leave a memory for the children."

"It's up to you." Liang Baozhen touched the man's arm, motioning him to bring the basin over. Just as she was about to grab the handle of the pot and pour a basin of glutinous rice balls directly, she was stopped by Xu Shengjie.

"I'll do it. Be careful not to burn you." Xu Shengjie took over the job automatically, poured the glutinous rice balls into the basin, and carried the large basin with boiling hot steam into the house. Liang Baozhen followed closely behind him, holding a stack of bowls and soup spoons.

Outside, the wind was blowing and snow was falling, adding a bit of coolness to the New Year's Eve. However, inside the house, there was a festive atmosphere. There were more than ten people, each holding a bowl and eating glutinous rice balls, and they all felt warm.

There are six glutinous rice balls in Shanshan's bowl. She specifically requested them and they must be in perfect order.

She ate the glutinous rice balls in small bites, but couldn't eat any more after the fourth one. She had already eaten a lot at the New Year's Eve dinner today, so she wasn't really hungry at all. "Dad, I can't eat any more."

Xu Shengjie took the bowl from the lady and helped her finish the remaining two glutinous rice balls. "You don't eat much, but you have a big mouth. You insisted that I scoop out six glutinous rice balls just now?"

"It's Shanshan who isn't hungry. If hungry Shanshan came to eat, she would definitely be able to finish it." Anyway, her father would take care of it, so Shanshan went back to watch the Spring Festival Gala with peace of mind.

After eating the glutinous rice balls, the time was almost midnight and the new year was about to begin.

Braving the cold wind, the group put on military coats and thick cotton jackets, and went out with their families.

Xu Shengjie hung four strings of firecrackers on the door. There were several small families here tonight, so everyone had to have some fun.

"Go and light the firecrackers." Xu Shuping pushed Liang Baojun and asked him to go as a representative.

"Mengmeng, Shanshan, cover your ears quickly, the firecrackers will go off soon." Liang Baoying reminded the two children.

Hearing this, Mengmeng and Shanshan ran several meters away, covered their ears, and prepared to watch the firecrackers.

"Will you go this year?" Xu Shengjie looked at his own firecrackers and motioned for his wife to go up. "They are so bright and red. Do you want to try them?"

Liang Baozhen heard that the omen was indeed good and said, "Then I'll go."

He said that his daughter-in-law should go, so Xu Shengjie followed. He lit a match and handed it to Baozhen, then held her wrist and looked at the family members standing in front of the other three firecrackers.

"Let me order first." Liang Baozhen was worried that she would be the last to order, and before she could even run away, she was startled. She smiled and said to the people at home.

"Okay, you go first."

The long firecracker was hanging down. Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie passed the matches over together and watched the flame lick the fuse of the firecracker.

"Run!" Liang Baozhen smiled and pulled Xu Shengjie to the side, listening to the crackling sound of firecrackers behind them.

In front of us was our daughter Shanshan, jumping and waving anxiously at her parents, worried that they would be hit by the firecrackers. "Mom, Dad, come here quickly!"

"Hey!" Liang Baozhen picked up the girl and stood far away listening to the sound of firecrackers, "Is the New Year fun?"

Shanshan nodded, "It's fun!"

"Happy New Year, Mom!" Shanshan pouted and gave her mother a kiss.

Seeing this, Xu Shengjie also leaned forward and was smacked by the girl again.

"It's Chinese New Year!"

The whole family stood in the yard listening to the crackling of firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, with a smile on everyone's face.

"Come, let daddy hold you, but don't tire your mom out."

Xu Shengjie leaned over to take Shanshan, holding the little girl in his arms, and looked at his wife beside him with her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance.

Perhaps his gaze was too intense, Liang Baozhen turned her gaze back to the man and said with her red lips, "Another year has passed."

Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, another year has passed." Xu Shengjie approached his wife and said in a deep voice, "Happy New Year, Comrade Liang Baozhen."

Liang Baozhen saw that Xu Shengjie's dark pupils were full of herself, and smiled, "Happy New Year, Comrade Xu Shengjie."

Shanshan was in her father's arms. As her father moved over, she fell to the side. She watched her father move closer to her mother and kiss her on the face.

Hey!

Children can't watch adults kissing!

Shanshan covered her eyes with her hands, then quietly moved them away a little, and saw her mother kissing her father on the face again!

Forget it, just keep it covered!

No peeking!

Shame on you!

When midnight arrives, time is like a river, flowing quietly without too many waves, just moving forward slowly and non-stop.

There was a bustle on the ground and a silver hook was hanging high in the sky.

Year after year, the full moon brings families together.

The next book is "Marrying a Husband on an Island in the 1970s", which should be published in June. Everyone is welcome to collect it so that you won’t get lost when the time comes, hehe.

~~~The author's column can be found in "Marrying a Husband on an Island in the 1970s", welcome to collect~~~

Jian Lu traveled through time and became the youngest daughter of the brigade leader of Dachuan Commune in the 1970s.

The captain's family had been hoping for a son all their lives. After giving birth to three daughters in a row, they almost died of anxiety when they had their youngest daughter.

Jian Lu was born with a good complexion, fair skin, delicate and beautiful appearance, but because she was not a man, her father and mother did not love her. When she reached the matchmaking age, she was even forced to marry someone in exchange for a high amount of dowry. The man she was arranged to marry was a notorious second-rate person with a mean look, a lazy and greedy personality.

Jian Lu:? Why not just let me die?

Aunt Hu from the village is looking for a wife for her son. Others go on blind dates by meeting in person, but Aunt Hu only has a photo. The matchmaker thinks she is unreliable and the villagers think she is insincere. How can you go on a blind date with just a photo?

Jian Lu, who was anxious to find a reliable marriage to escape her tragic fate, fell in love at first sight with the photo of Aunt Hu's son. The young officer in the photo had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, tall height, long legs and a tough face.

He is a regiment leader, he saves his salary and doesn't like to spend money. He goes to the island with the army without his in-laws to supervise him. The most important thing is that he is far away from the original owner's family. Isn't this a paradise life after getting married?

Shen Zhao is an old, single and unmarried man, who is a regiment leader who is devoted to defending the island. The conditions on the island are harsh, and many people dislike the strong wind, sand and the scorching sun, and are unwilling to join the army.

One day, Shen Zhao received three telegrams from his mother:

First telegram: If you don't get married, we will end our relationship and you can live on your island for the rest of your life.

Second telegram: Please have mercy on your mother

The third telegram: You have a wife now and she is on her way to the island. Treat her well.

Shen Zhao:?
