From Zhan Zeye's story, Tang Qiuyue learned that Xu Qiuju was actually a child bride raised by Hu Peng's family.
He had been raised since he was seven or eight years old, and was originally going to get married when he reached the age. However, Hu Peng had a good nose, and he had been practicing martial arts with an old monk since he was a child, so he was noticed by an old leader who was passing by at the time.
In order to join the army, Hu Peng quarreled with his family. Although he was not his only child, his parents were reluctant to give up their son.
Fortunately, Hu Peng was persistent enough and finally agreed to marry Xu Qiuju before he got his parents' permission.
At that time, the country had just been founded and everything was in chaos. There was no marriage law, so marriages were arranged naturally, meaning that all they needed was a marriage certificate and the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
The day after his wedding, Hu Peng left with his old leader. He was gone for five years. When he returned home to visit his family for the second time, his eldest son was already born.
He had his second son during his second visit, but he found out about it when he went home for the third visit.
The third time I went home to visit my family was five years ago, and this time I had my youngest son.
Tang Qiyue couldn't help but click her tongue after hearing this.
I don’t know whether I should say that Xu Qiuju has a super fertile physique, or that the couple is very strong, but they can succeed every time.
"Do you like children too?"
Zhan Zeye had seen how Tang Qiyue treated Xiaoyang and Hu Peng's children. Every time she saw the children, she would give them candy.
You have to know that candy is a rare commodity. Even if they have salary allowances, not every family will have so much candy.
But Tang Qiuyue is obviously not that old, but she is very good to children.
“Yeah, I like it very much!”
For the first time, Tang Qiuyue openly expressed her desire for a child.
She rolled over and came close to Zhan Zeye: "Then can you give birth? Will I be able to have my own child in this life?"
Zhan Zeye gritted his teeth: "Why can't I have children? I'm more powerful than Hu Peng!"
Tang Qiyue burst out laughing.
Men always seem to have a strange desire to win in this regard.
She wanted to press the issue while the iron was hot and ask Zhan Zeye to prove it, but when she thought of the agreement Zhan Zeye had made with Tang's mother, she decided to ask Tang's mother when she got home what she had said to Zhan Zeye and why she didn't let him touch her.
Tang Qiyue didn't believe that there was nothing going on here.
Although he couldn't have a child, Zhan Zeye couldn't give up the preliminary steps to have a child, so he naturally made a fuss, which allowed Tang Qiyue to sleep.
On the day of the fisherman's wedding, Tang Qiyue had just finished her breakfast when Shanhu ran over to find her.
"Sister Fisherwoman told me you prepared her a wedding dress, and she doesn't even know how to thank you!"
Coral is young, and all her thoughts are clearly shown on her face. She is envious of her.
Tang Qiyue smiled and said, "That's not a wedding dress, at most it's a red dress, just to suit the occasion!"
A real wedding dress is not that simple.
Shanhu said, "That's not a wedding dress? Then what is a wedding dress? Here, for women getting married, it's considered very good to be able to wear a new dress. If they can wear a red dress, they are from a respectable family. Many people get married by borrowing other people's old clothes!"
Life in the fishing village is not rich. Although they can go out to sea to fish, they don’t always get a catch. Moreover, since they make a living by the sea, they cannot handle eating seafood every day.
Most of the harvest has to be taken outside to exchange for food. If it weren't for the divers who risked their lives to go into the sea to collect pearls, life in the village might have been even more difficult.
Tang Qiuyue went out with Shanhu carrying a basket. They met other military wives in the family compound and greeted them. When they learned that Tang Qiuyue was going to attend the fisherman's wedding, they just smiled.
These people hardly interact with the people in the fishing village. After all, communication is a bit difficult. The key point is that the people in the fishing village will feel inferior when they see the people in the family compound and dare not get close to them.
The reason why Tang Qiyue is so popular is that she treated the fisherman's illness and took care of Xiaoyang's family, and she is also sought after by divers like Shanhu.
Only after leaving the family compound did Coral relax her tense nerves.
"Sister Qiyue, you don't know, every time I come here and run into those people, I'm afraid they'll dislike me because I smell like rotten fish and shrimp!"
People in the fishing village eat fish and shrimp all year round and go to the sea, so their bodies are pickled with flavor.
Sometimes when they go outside, people passing by them will subconsciously avoid them with disgust.
No matter how carefree Coral is, she will still have low self-esteem.
Tang Qiyue patted Shanhu's arm and said, "No one will mind. We are going to the sea to eat fish and shrimp!"
We all live on an island, this is unavoidable.
But Shanhu stood beside Tang Qiyue, looking at the glowing white Tang Qiyue, and the envy in her eyes could not be hidden.
She looked at her arms. She was obviously younger than Tang Qiyue, but her skin was so dark from the wind and sun that it looked ugly no matter how she looked at it.
But Tang Qiuyue also had two pigtails, and her clothes were a baggy short-sleeved shirt and baggy pants, but she was still pleasing to the eye.
I can’t think about it anymore. The more Coral thinks about it, the more she feels like she is nothing.
Fortunately, she met Zheng Hongxia. Shanhu greeted Zheng Hongxia enthusiastically and forgot her inferiority complex.
Tang Qiuyue noticed Shanhu's emotional changes, but her appearance and skin were natural, and she really had no way to comfort others.
Zheng Hongxia is the director of the women's department and has close contacts with the fishing village. The fisherman's husband is a typical example of someone she likes. This time the fisherman is getting married for the second time, and she has to go there to support her.
"What do you have prepared for the Fisherwoman?"
Zheng Hongxia was curious, and she didn't understand the rules of the fishing village. She prepared for several days and asked many people, but finally decided to give a pair of thermoses!
Although it is not new, you still need a ticket to buy the thermos.
There were only four children in the family. If it weren't for the wedding, which was not suitable for an odd number of gifts, she would not have been willing to give two.
Tang Qiyue spoke first: "I thought that after Yu Niang got married, she would have to separate from the family, so I didn't need to prepare much. So I prepared a quilt cover and sheets for her, plus two pillowcases!"
It's actually a four-piece bedding set.
Ordinary people are reluctant to use this thing. One reason is that it wastes fabric. The other is that you need tickets to buy fabric nowadays, and there are very few sizes available. A family can only afford one quilt cover in a year.
Zheng Hongxia gave a thumbs up and said, "This gift is great!"
She had one at home, but when she made it, she felt pain for a while.
Only Coral was puzzled: "What are sheets and duvet covers?"
She knew about pillowcases because they would be bought when they got married, but she had no idea about sheets and quilt covers.
They all slept on straw mats with mattresses.
Only then did Tang Qiuyue realize that ordinary people were reluctant to use these things. After all, these things were made by city people for the convenience of changing and washing.
After explaining it to Coral, her eyes widened: "That's a huge gift!"
Tang Qiyue was afraid that Shanhu would be even more surprised, so she quickly changed the subject: "What about you? What gift did you prepare for the fisherwoman?"
