Xiangyang Village.
When Su Zhaodi received Su Niannian's telegram, she was ecstatic.
In just two days, the whole village knew that the couple was going to the northwest. Su Niannian even sent the money for the train tickets, for two people! Shen Xiu'e looked at the two long-distance train tickets again and again, her eyes red with envy, "Zhao Di, is it possible that you don't want to go to the northwest?! Your father and I have never traveled far before, this full moon banquet..."
"I really want to go to the northwest!" Su Zhaodi snatched the ticket from her mother's hand and said to Wang Wei who was watching the fun nearby, "Hurry up and take the two pieces of bacon from the kitchen. My sister likes it the most. Take whatever else you can bring, just to add to the festive mood."
Shen Xiu'e couldn't help but snorted, "You ungrateful bastard."
Having said that, when she sent her daughter to the train, she still patiently told Su Zhaodi not to offend Su Niannian, and if possible, to say more good words and try to get Gu Zhiye to find a job for Wang Wei in the northwest, so that the couple could finally pull one foot out of the mud.
Su Zhaodi scoffed at this statement. Gu Zhiye was such a decent man, he would never do such a thing. They regarded this trip as a chance to see the world. They were mentally prepared before coming, but when they saw the high-rise buildings lined up one after another and the single-family courtyards, Su Zhaodi was still dumbfounded.
She was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything curious, whether it was the female comrades in military uniforms or the flowers poking out of the branches in the villas, they all made Su Zhaodi marvel. Although Wang Wei next to her was calm, the coordinated movements of his hands and feet betrayed his nervousness.
The guard took the two to Gu's house. As soon as they stepped into the house, Su Zhaodi couldn't help screaming, "Oh my God! This courtyard is more beautiful than the blue brick building of our captain's house. Grandma, you actually have such a good life in the northwest——!"
Su Zhaodi's rural accent immediately attracted the attention of the neighbors. Huang Juan's eyes lit up. They were like-minded people! Before she could climb over the wall to say hello, Wang Guifen slapped Su Zhaodi on the butt and said viciously, "What are you howling for? Shame on you!"
Huang Juan silently retracted her outstretched legs.
Wang Wei handed the prepared things to Wang Guifen and said with a smile, "Grandma, Zhaodi and I brought these specially for Nian Nian. Where is she? Where is my brother?"
"Your eldest brother hasn't got off work yet. Nian Nian is taking care of the kids upstairs. Come up and take a look." Su Zhaodi and Wang Wei walked inside. When the former saw the black and white TV in the living room, her eyes widened. Wang Wei pushed her, and the two of them successfully went upstairs. In just one year, Su Niannian's life was as different from theirs as the sky and the earth.
Although Su Zhaodi did not regret marrying Wang Wei, she felt sad.
When she thought of the baby who had been killed, her eyes could not help but turn red. She hurriedly hugged Fubao and refused to let go. Seeing that she loved children so much, Su Niannian simply left the task of washing the child's butt to her. Compared with Su Zhaodi, Wang Wei standing on the balcony looked much more uneasy. He took a small shovel and carefully turned the soil of the flowers placed next to him. It was a rose sent by Ning Huan from next door. Su Niannian raised it for a week and then it died.
Seeing Wang Wei's meticulous movements, Su Niannian's eyes darkened, "Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for half a year. How are you and your cousin doing in the village during this time?!"
"It's good. I can earn enough work points. I have moved my household registration to Xiangyang Village." Wang Wei smiled and said frankly.
"Are you satisfied with your current life?!"
“???”
Su Niannian's nonsensical words made Wang Wei feel confused. Thinking of what Shen Xiu'e said, his face felt a little hot. He was like a bandit outside, but when facing the most promising granddaughter of the old Su family, he felt at a loss. He thought that it was all Su Niannian's fault that he and Su Zhaodi could get married.
This cousin is very smart and capable. Wang Wei is actually afraid of her. Seeing this, he reflexively glanced at where Su Zhaodi was and whispered, "Cousin, I am a rough person and I don't understand those roundabout words. If you have something to say, just tell me directly. I will definitely help you if I can."
In some ways, Wang Wei and Su Zhaodi are quite similar. They are both straightforward. Su Niannian chuckled and said, "Let me ask you something off topic first. Do you and your cousin want to eat the food supply in the city?"
Wang Wei's hands trembled slightly. He looked up in disbelief and said without hesitation: "I want to!"
"I remember you only have a junior high school education?!"
"yes."
Su Niannian pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Are you afraid of hardship? Maybe you won't get ahead in this job even after ten years..."
"As long as I have a job, I'm not afraid of anything."
With just one sentence, the fate of the two people was determined. Su Niannian nodded, turned around, pulled out an envelope from under the pillow and handed it to Wang Wei, asking him to go to the address above and someone would help solve their work problems. Wang Wei's mouth was grinning from ear to ear, and he looked light-hearted even when he went downstairs.
…
Time passed day by day, and Gao Shanyue did not return, but Fubao's full moon banquet came. None of Gu's relatives came, except for the old Su family, all of them were comrades and leaders in the army. Gu Zhiye did not want to make Wang Guifen work hard, so he contacted the manager of the state-owned hotel early in the morning and booked two tables.
Jeeps carried people over one by one. Su Niannian was reborn. She wore a thin pink cotton coat and a hat, and was still covered tightly from head to toe. Su Zhaodi and others had already gone to the state-owned hotel to wait, and she and Wang Guifen followed closely with their children.
The old man was still carefully checking the bottles, milk powder and other things he brought for the child.
Su Niannian was holding the child, standing at the gate of the steep family compound in the cold spring. After a while, a poorly dressed young man slowly approached. His cold eyes swept from Wang Guifen to Su Niannian's side. Then, after the confirmation of the guard at the gate, his Adam's apple rolled and he shouted in disbelief: "Senior Sister Su...?!"
He had never seen Su Niannian, except for the few words in the letter.
He didn't expect that the other party lived in the military area and was so beautiful. He felt ashamed even standing next to her. They were both students of Professor Yang, but the gap between them was too big!
Wang Guifen was a person who had seen the world, but she was still shocked by the poverty of the young boy. She thought that the young boy was a refugee from somewhere, so she subconsciously stood in front of her granddaughter. Unexpectedly, Su Niannian pushed the old woman's hand away and whispered, "You are... Xue Weidong?!"
She almost couldn't recognize that this poor and down-and-out boy would be the strongest opponent who could stand against Jin Chuan in the future...
