Xiangnan smiled and said, "He's from our village, but it's normal that my sister-in-law doesn't know him.
He left the village at the age of sixteen and rarely came back. He was my brother's elementary school classmate.
Do you still remember the eldest son of the Huo family at the east end of the village?"
Li Mo's eyes widened: "Huode? The one who's still unmarried at 28?"
Li Mo felt a little heartbroken. Why did she find someone like this? Although Zhang Hao was a bastard, there was no need to find someone like him.
I'm almost thirty and still not married. I don't know if there's something wrong with me.
I heard that he dated many girls but failed to get any success, and now no one in the surrounding area is willing to matchmake for him.
"That's not right. I just saw him and he looks very handsome, and he was driving... Could it be a military car?
I heard your brother mention that this elementary school classmate of his is also in the army, and seems to be an officer of some kind."
Because Hood never returned to the village, very few people remembered him.
Li Mo just remembered that Xiang Jing had mentioned Huo De when he was still alive.
He said that Hood was very famous in the army, and although he and Hood were not stationed in the same station, he had heard of his reputation.
He also said that his elementary school classmate had a bright future and that he wanted to learn more from him.
Thinking of this, Li Mo felt a little sad. Her husband was hardworking and promising, and he would have a great future.
But he died while performing his mission.
"I don't know about that. I was in a hurry to find someone to marry so I asked him. I didn't expect him to agree."
Li Mo was speechless: "No matter how anxious you are, you can't just casually take away the certificate from others!
You know him, he's still not married at this age, so who knows what might be wrong with him."
Xiangnan chuckled: "Sister-in-law, the soldiers are all lovely people, there is no need to worry about them.
As for any physical problems, there are definitely none, I've tried it."
Li Mo was even more speechless, and couldn't help but poke her forehead with her finger: "You girl, don't even bother to tell me that you don't even take my sister-in-law seriously!"
"How could that be possible? I just don't want my sister-in-law to worry about me.
It’s tiring enough for my sister-in-law to take care of three little kids at home by herself.
I was ignorant before, but after what happened with Zhang Hao, I’ve come to terms with it and will never do those stupid things again.”
Li Mo had some opinions about her original body.
There was no food to eat at home, and the original body even stole food coupons to give to Zhang Hao to use in college.
Even if Zhang Hao's family doesn't have food coupons, they can still find a way to buy them with money.
They have connections in Jinghai, so Zhang Hao won't starve.
But the original body was foolish and only cared about Zhang Hao, fearing that he would not have enough to eat.
The original body would rather starve herself, but how could Li Mo and the children really watch her starve herself to death?
Li Mo sighed: "I'm glad you can think it through. Your brother is gone, and our family really doesn't have any extra money to subsidize others."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, our family is rich, and I can make money from my business now.
Just take good care of Xiaotian and the others, I can make money to support you.
But sister-in-law, you are still young, and my brother is gone. I won’t object if you want to find someone who understands you.
I won’t ignore Xiaotian and the others either.”
Li Mo was really surprised. She didn't expect that her sister had become so sensible after this trip back to her parents' home.
Li Mo shook her head: "I have three children, no matter who I marry, how can they be good to the children?
As long as I can make a living, why should I get married? I can just focus on raising them."
Xiangnan knew that Li Mo was speaking the truth.
My sister-in-law has always had a good relationship with my brother, and they fell in love with each other the moment they met.
Li Mo did not look down on Xiang Jing for being an orphan and having a burdensome younger sister.
I really like him as a person.
After her brother's death, she was sad for a long time and probably still hasn't gotten over it even after two years. How could she have the mind to get married?
But in the original book, she married a man whose wife had died, just to ensure her three children would have enough to eat.
The other party's family also has two children, so you can imagine how their life is.
Xiangnan went to the room and took out 500 yuan: "Sister-in-law, you can use this money first, I will earn more later.
You don't have to be reluctant. Buy some delicious food for Xiao Lanxi and the others. They are in the growth stage now."
Li Mo shook her head: "How can I use so much? One hundred is enough. You can keep the rest."
She knew that the money was given by Li Lanjiang.
Xiangnan has liked Zhang Hao for so many years and his whole heart is on her.
This is equivalent to the money buying out Xiangnan's feelings.
"Just take it if I give it to you. I want to eat at home too, and Hood will be back in a few days.
He's taking two months of wedding leave and is staying at our house. This is the red envelope he gave me."
"That doesn't require so much... No, you mean he doesn't live in his own house?"
Li Mo was a little surprised. Nowadays, which man doesn't live in his own home? Living in his wife's home doesn't mean he is marrying into the family.
Isn’t he afraid of gossip?
"His house is so small, and he has three brothers who are not married yet. It's not convenient for me to live there.
Sister-in-law, our house is big and there are not many people.
It’s more lively with more people.”
Li Mo smiled and said, "I don't dislike you. Your brother is gone, and I wish you could stay at home forever."
At least Xiangnan is at home, so she has someone to accompany her and the child can be looked after.
"That won't do. I have to go out and do business. Come, let me tell you about my business."
Xiangnan told Li Mo about her plan, mainly because she needed Li Mo to help her bake a cake at home.
Li Mo can bake cakes at home and take care of her three little ones.
"Sister-in-law, don't just watch Xiaotian and the others eat, eat something yourself too.
The cost of this cake is not high, with eggs, sugar and flour, the cost of one cake is less than 20 cents.
I sell them in town for sixty cents each."
Li Mo took a piece of cake and took a bite: "It has a nice eggy flavor and is delicious. It melts in your mouth and doesn't get stuck in your throat at all.
Can you really make so much money? In our countryside, is there anyone willing to buy this? The buns are only ten cents each, and one is enough to fill you up."
“Although our country is not as well off as the city, we still have enough money to buy snacks for the children.
I see that quite a lot of people are buying the milk candy in the supply and marketing cooperative.
This cake tastes no worse than toffee. I took eight to sell that day and they were sold out in no time.
I’ll teach you how to do it later.”
Li Mo became excited: "Sold eight? Doesn't that mean I made four dollars in one go?"
These days, working for others only pays a dozen yuan a month, and the salaries in state-owned enterprises in the city are only over thirty yuan, and the better ones are no more than fifty yuan.
Xiangnan can earn four yuan a day by selling cakes in the countryside.
“Yes, but the market is not big if we only sell in the countryside, so I plan to sell in the city.
This thing consumes eggs, so we have to collect the eggs. When we make money in the future, we will buy chickens and build a chicken farm to raise chickens and lay eggs ourselves."
Li Mo was a little dumbfounded when she heard this: "You can even run your own chicken farm."
