"Mom, where are we going?" Xiao Bao was being pulled by Su Xia to get dressed, and he was almost lifted into the air.

"Go find your grandma!" Su Xia said as she put on her clothes.

"Mother, watch over them, you go!" Niu Niu, who was reading in her room, suggested when she saw Su Xia busy at work.

Su Xia was taken aback, realizing she had forgotten about Niu Niu. She felt a little embarrassed, but as a mother, she had to save face.

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

Niu Niu breathed a sigh of relief, and even the twins breathed a sigh of relief.

When Su Xia arrived at the old house, she heard Chen Jiandang say, "Brother, this is fine, we have to go find the old man!"

Su Xia was stunned. What happened? Is it that serious?

Mr. Chen looked stern, while Mrs. Chen continued to mutter and curse. "That damned Liu family! They're good for nothing, always envious of others, just like that stinking old woman Liu Chunxia..."

Su Xia.....

As I walked over to Xia Laidi, just as I was about to shove her hand, I remembered that Wu Ya was washing her feet and hair...

He instantly took half a step back and withdrew his outstretched hand.

Xia Laidi was listening to the commotion, but now she's learned to be smart and dares to openly show off.

Upon seeing Su Xia, his eyes lit up. Su Xia... took a step back in fear, her shiny, oily hair catching his eye.

"Sister-in-law, you're here!"

Su Xia nodded, looking a little shyly at people, which Xia Lai Di didn't notice. She excitedly whispered, "Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law has really embarrassed herself this time!"

Su Xia snapped out of her daze. Right, what exactly is going on with Lao Ge?

"What exactly happened?"

Xia Laidi grinned and began to tell the story of what people had come to tell her.

Actually, it was a good idea. Chen Jianjun originally wanted to go, but Si Ya had just gotten married, and her mother-in-law came over with people to help, so he had to go anyway.

So, Liu Chunxia packed up those things, but before she did, she kept half of the cigarettes and alcohol her son-in-law had given her.

"Don't forget your parents, you didn't send them anything!" Chen Jianjun didn't give his wife any face either.

Liu Chunxia gritted her teeth, momentarily basking in the glory, and forgot all about it.

"Does that mean there's a brother and sister-in-law?" Liu Chunxia retorted.

"Could it be that 놖놊 is a son?" Chen Jianjun asked sarcastically.

Liu Chunxia shut up. Seeing that there was still half left, although she was still envious of the other half, what could she do if the male fan was willing?

So, the family rode bicycles to the mother's hometown, Notou Village, which is about 60 li away from Zhao Family Village, and it would take about two hours to get there by bicycle.

Sitting on the back seat, Liu Chunxia looked at the scenery around her. She couldn't contain her excitement at the thought that the bicycle belonged to her and that she would be very proud when she got back.

"Oh right, come back as soon as you finish eating!" Chen Jianjun interrupted her daydream.

Liu Chunxia's face immediately fell, but she still agreed, "I know, and I also know why you're willing to stay here?"

"Why are you staying here? Do you know?" Chen Jianjun thought of his brother-in-law and couldn't help but frown.

Liu Chunxia was happy, but she didn't truly feel happy until two hours later when she saw the familiar village.

"Hey...is this Chunxia?" The village elders recognized Liu Chunxia.

"Hey, Grandpa, Happy New Year!" Liu Chunxia greeted him warmly.

Chen Jianjun and Gouwa, standing to the side, wanted to say something in one word: "One is tired from riding a bike, and the other is tired from sitting."

"Happy New Year, Chunxia, ​​are you going back to your parents' home?"

"Uh-huh!"

"That's great! I heard you're in the army, Miss?" Soon more and more people arrived, and Liu Chunxia seemed to have regained her confidence, acting nothing like the talkative and competitive girl she used to be at the Chen family's house.

He stood in the middle, head held high, wearing a cotton-padded coat and trousers, with clean outer clothes and trousers without patches.

The people of Noto Village looked at her as if she were a gold ingot.

"Chunxia, ​​you're such a lovely girl, and you've found such a good husband. Don't forget your fellow villagers!"

"Yes, I heard from your mother that your second daughter works at the county supply and marketing cooperative?"

"That powerful?"

"Of course, what the Liu family lads say is true, finding a man is a legitimate job!"

"Oh my god, Xia, so your second daughter, Nene, is both of you working?"

How much salary do you get this month?

As Liu Chunxia listened to the villagers' flattery, her vanity was satisfied, and she forgot about the man and son standing beside her...

Chen Jianjun and Gouwa.....

Finally, it was Liu Jia's youngest son who came over, and only then were they able to go home.

Chen Jianjun looked on with obvious delight. Little Zhu, Liu Ge's youngest son, didn't even glance at him; his eyes were glued to the bicycle...

"Uncle, this is a bicycle, it's really new!" At first, his words were normal.

It gradually turned into, "Uncle, can I ride it for a bit? Let me tell you, everyone in the village knows you're coming and wants to see the bicycle!"

"Uncle, I'll ride around once, and then I'll definitely bring it over properly!"

"Uncle, Mom already told me that Auntie agreed a long time ago. When you get married, Auntie will lend you her bicycle for the wedding. Can you let me practice now?"

Liu Xiaozhu only had eyes for the bicycle, and as for Chen Jianjun, his face grew darker and darker, as if he didn't see him at all, like a blind man.

Gouwa is willing too; this is his own family, and besides, when he grows up, he'll be his own...

She couldn't help but start to resent her mother. At first, Liu Chunxia was smug, but when she heard her mother agree to lend her a bicycle, she felt guilty and dared not look at the man.

So, after Chen Jianjun finally arrived at the old man's house...

Liu Xiaozhu tried to take over immediately, but was pushed away. "Xiaozhu, can you ride?"

"Ah...? Um... I will!" Liu Xiaozhu was a little flustered.

Chen Jianjun scoffed inwardly, "Then come to our house when you have time, and we'll teach you. You can ride then!"

"Really?"

Chen Jianjun said expressionlessly, "Really, I have something to do today. We'll talk when you get to my house!"

Liu Xiaozhu grinned foolishly, rubbing his hands excitedly. His patched cotton-padded jacket had shiny black cuffs and collar...

Chen Jianjun looked away with disdain, just in time to see his wife surrounded by her mother, sisters-in-law, and siblings, like a proud rooster...

The Liu family gave Chen Jianjun a very warm welcome, treating him to the highest level of hospitality, from serving him water to cooking for him.

Because the Liu family had not yet divided their property, they were all one family. In the courtyard, apart from the main gate, the right wing, and the main house, there were only houses.

And then there are so many children, including grandchildren, the whole house is in complete chaos.

Chen Jianjun, with Gouwa by his side, sat on a stool in the main room.

Liu Chunxia was still chatting quietly there, "Mom, Si Ya's husband has to go to work, so he didn't come!"

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother immediately looked at the old man, while Liu's father gently shook his head.

Liu's mother immediately understood, "Oh, the class is important, but what about Siya?"

"Didn't Er Ya say when she'd be back?"

"Siya's shift started early this year too. As you all know, the supply and marketing cooperative is busiest during the Lunar New Year!" Liu Chunxia said, raising her head as if she were starting her shift herself when she mentioned the supply and marketing cooperative.

The Liu family's daughters-in-law were filled with jealousy; they couldn't control her even if they wanted to. It turned out their sister-in-law had married someone of similar social standing, but then the Chen family had a powerful uncle...

And then there were those sarcastic remarks they made back then, about what kind of books the girl should read; look at them now...

The first son was a soldier, the second son worked in a supply and marketing cooperative, and their son-in-law was also a soldier, working in a steel factory...

Meanwhile, they're still toiling in the fields for a living; the gap is widening...
