Chapter 209



Sun Hong is pregnant.

She suddenly fainted while working in the wheat field in the afternoon. After being sent to the clinic for examination, the doctor discovered that she was more than two months pregnant.

In 1976, there was no severe crackdown on overproduction. For the country folk, the birth of a new baby was a great thing, and everyone in the family was filled with joy.

Although they usually quarreled and fought over this and that, the Jiang family members were not bad-hearted and sent their blessings to Jiang Laoer.

The whole family gathered together for dinner, and the men drank a little rice wine.

Jiang Laosan was unhappy and spoke a word. The children of the eldest and second brothers have been able to help out for a long time, but he is the only one who is still single. You can imagine the disappointment he feels.

놚놆놊 was intercepted by Huo Jianjun, and maybe she will marry Lin Zhiqing by the end of the year.

Can 녦놆 really do it?

He felt bitter in his heart and his eyes turned red.

The day after receiving the marriage certificate, Lin Zhiqing transferred her household registration back to the city. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time and walked with high spirits.

When I met him, I gave him a handful of wedding candy.

He didn't eat any of the candies and hid them all under his pillow.

Jiang Laosan drank bowl after bowl of wine, and drank them all in one gulp. No one tried to persuade him to stop.

Soon he got drunk, sat on the floor, hugged the leg of a bench and cried loudly: "I'm sorry for her. I don't have a city hukou and I didn't give her the job she wanted."

Jiang Ningning sighed softly. When it comes to infatuation, even Huo Donglin is probably better than him.

Inexplicably, she suddenly missed men a little.

On the other side, Jiang Lao Er listened to his brother's drunken words, and couldn't help but think of Sun Hong's nagging in his ears every day, so he picked up the glass and drank it without saying a word.

Alcohol makes a coward emboldened. He suddenly had the courage to speak out the complaints that he normally wouldn't dare to vent: "Grandma, what was the grudge between Great Grandpa and the textile factory? Did he sacrifice himself for the factory?"

Why did the grievances of the previous two generations, as well as the grievances of the great-grandfather, involve their generation?

The main room suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Old man Jiang took out the pipe from his arms, not even daring to light a cigarette. He pretended to be very busy and started smoking to reduce his presence.

Everyone was well aware of his family status, and their eyes shifted back and forth between Cai Jinhua and Jiang Ningning.

Cai Jinhua changed her usual evasive attitude and said, "You will know in a while. When the time comes, I will take care of everything you two want to do."

As soon as he said this, the curious and prying eyes around him turned to Jiang Laoer.

Jiang Lao Er was not really drunk. When he heard Cai Jinhua's slightly sarcastic words, his face gradually turned the color of liver.

Naturally, he was concerned about the dispute between Jiang Ming and the textile factory, and said that his attraction to Sun Hong about the security job was fake.

It is better to eat public grain than to dig for food in the fields all your life.

After this incident, Cai Jinhua put on a stern face and started to drive people away, directing her grandchildren's wives to clean up the table and end the family dinner.

Jiang Ningning always felt that something was not quite right, so she went back to her room, picked out two pieces of cloth, and carried them to the west wing.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Jiang Laoer opened the door and saw her, feeling inexplicably guilty.

There was a big age gap between him and Jiang Ningning, but his generation was the same as Hu Zi's. Every time he addressed her, he always felt like he was calling her old.

Jiang Ningning raised her red lips: "My niece-in-law is very happy. I just happen to have two pieces of fine cotton cloth. I'll use them to make clothes for the child."

The two pieces of cloth were brightly colored and looked expensive, but she took them out without blinking an eye.

Jiang Laoer suddenly felt ashamed of himself.

"Go to the kitchen to see if the egg custard is ready, and talk to your niece-in-law." Jiang Ningning sent him away and went into the house.

The noise at the door had already woken up Sun Hong. When she saw Jiang Ningning sitting by the bed, her eyes suddenly became evasive.

"Cousin, I borrowed money from you, but I can't get that job."

Jiang Ningning felt that Sun Hong was lying, and wondered why Jiang Laoer could say such words during the dinner.

Where exactly did the accident happen?

"Why did you suddenly say goodbye? You should be worried about paying back the money, right? It's okay to pay back the money a few months later. The interest will also be paid."

"We are a family, and we should help each other."

Sun Hong quickly shook her head like a rattle: "Something happened at home, and I don't have a job."

She was unwilling to tell the specific reason anyway, so Jiang Ningning had to change the topic to pregnancy and raising children, and left after a few pleasantries.

In the evening, Cai Jinhua brought three cups of malted milk as usual.

In her eyes, her granddaughter, like Manman and Xiaxia, is a child who needs more nourishment.

Jiang Ningning didn't doubt him, so she held the fragrant little sweet water in her hand and told her about Sun Hong's strange behavior.

"Perhaps Zheng Gang and others noticed something unusual, and perhaps after thinking about it, they dared not offend my grandson-in-law. The fact that they didn't take any action is actually a good thing for us." Cai Jinhua remained calm.

"As long as you three stay in the village, you will be safe."

That's not wrong.

I have...

"Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the county with Manman and the captain to report, and I will improve the plan later." Jiang Ningning drank the remaining malted milk in one breath and put the ceramic jar back on the table.

Bai Man was preparing a plan. This was her first time doing it, so if she didn't do it well, she could use this as a backup.

She did a great job and she will come up with the plan herself.

No matter what happens, Jiang Ningning is used to being prepared.

Cai Jinhua's eyebrows jumped sharply, and she said to herself: "In the afternoon, it's still in time."

The bus needs to take a detour to other villages to enter the county, so the journey is longer than that of the donkey cart.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? We can make it in time." Jiang Ningning heard those few words so vividly.

Cai Jinhua was very calm: "I'll get up tomorrow morning and steam some buns. I'll still have time for you to take with you on the road."

While the two children were talking, the two kids next to them were already snoring in their sleep.

Seeing the kids sleeping so soundly, Jiang Ningning stopped and snored, "Strange, why are you so sleepy today?"

Cai Jinhua was startled, and her voice suddenly became very rough: "... Nonsense, how can you be tired after standing outside all day? Go to bed early and write the plan tomorrow morning."

"Go to bed later. I still need to finish the plan."

Jiang Ningning blinked away the tears at the corners of her eyes, cleaned the table and took out paper and pen.

Thanks to the perseverance gained from working overtime to revise the links in my previous life, I managed to hold on until I finished the last stroke before climbing into bed to sleep.

When she lay down, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them at all. Even when she was at her most tiring during the flood fighting, she didn't feel this heavy. Jiang Ningning's mind was in a mess.

Before I could think, my head touched the pillow and I fell asleep quickly, forgetting even to turn off the kerosene lamp.

It's late at night.

Someone came in to tuck in the quilt for the mother and her two children, took a set of Jiang Ningning's clothes from the closet, then turned off the light and closed the door.

-

I slept soundly until ten o'clock without any dreams.

He slept so soundly that Jiang Ningning even suspected that his watch was broken.

Thinking that she had missed the agreed time, she quickly got up, washed and packed. As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Bai Man sitting under the eaves, holding Xia Xia and listening to her reading.

"Manman, I'm sorry. I slept too soundly and wasted your time." Jiang Ningning felt full of guilt.

Bai Man tilted her head and asked doubtfully: "It's only ten o'clock now. Did you ask Grandma Cai to tell us not to go out until eleven o'clock?"

"놖No놋..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Jiang Ningning's face suddenly changed.

Then he remembered something and ran to the west wing. He knocked on the door, but no one answered.

She immediately found Xiao Zhang and asked, "Did grandma take Sun Hong to the city?"

Xiao Zhang didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Ningning didn't understand anything at all and was so angry that she laughed.

They all teamed up to drug her!
