The holy, beautiful and brilliant light of the Goddess of Joy illuminates the earth~ The village party secretary has some complicated relatives relationship with Hao Yuanchao, who is also an army officer and a very promising person in the village. Liang Li suggested that Hao Jianguo should be given an explanation, and he naturally had no objection. In fact, the village party secretary also felt guilty towards Hao Jianguo. That day, he was busy checking the situation of the village warehouse and arranged for Hao Yuanchao to place the pig. Who knew that the house would suddenly collapse, and Hao Jianguo was buried in the blink of an eye without any preparation time.
Alas, there was no point in saying more. With the man gone, all he could do was ask for more benefits. That was the most practical thing to do, considering he still had four children. The commune wouldn't sit idly by. After all, according to Liang Li, Hao Jianguo had sacrificed his life for the collective, so they should at least give him some kind of compensation. And with Hao Yuanchao, his brother, an officer, there, they couldn't just award him a collective contribution award; they actually gave him fifty yuan.
Fifty yuan is already a lot. The commune is not rich, and it is not just Hao Jianguo who died this time. People in other villages also had their houses collapsed or were injured. The commune has to pay some compensation, even three or two yuan will do. Hao Jianguo gave so much because he sacrificed himself to save collective property. This statement is tenable and will not attract any rumors.
However, Liang Li didn't care that much about the fifty dollars. What he wanted was an attitude and a reputation. With that certificate, no one would dare to make up stories about Hao Jianguo's death, and it would not affect the child.
After this matter was dealt with, the next issue was the four children. From Hao Yuanchao's memory, it was learned that he sincerely wanted to adopt these four children, both out of morality and out of family affection. The four children were too young. If they were older, Hao Yuanchao could let the eldest child stand up and support the family, but the oldest was only nine years old and still a child. It was impossible for him to support a family, especially when there were no close relatives at home who could take care of them. Leaving four small children at home, let alone Hao Yuanchao, even Liang Li, who had received the memory, felt that it was inappropriate.
However, Liang Li could not take the child away for the time being, because Hao Yuanchao's further studies in Beicheng were about to end. After that, he would either stay as an instructor in the military academy or return to his original unit. At that time, for the sake of his fiancée, Hao Yuanchao planned to strive to stay in the military academy so that his fiancée would not have to leave her hometown, and this was also the promise he had made to his fiancée.
But the situation is different now. Liang Li does not intend to accept Hao Yuanchao's fiancée on his behalf. Although he did not see Hao Yuanchao's fiancée's appearance clearly in his memory, he is determined not to accept her no matter how beautiful she is. Moreover, Liang Li looked at the four children at home. His fiancée is only eighteen years old. She is a college student in the 1960s and is knowledgeable and cultured. Combined with the surprised tone in Hao Yuanchao's voice when he said he wanted to bring the four children to raise with him, it seems that she is unwilling to continue the engagement. Maybe she is now discussing how to cancel the engagement and will give him an ultimatum when he returns.
Liang Li didn't care about this marriage. From Hao Yuanchao's memory, he liked this girl very much, otherwise he would not be willing to stay and become an instructor in the military academy. But when he decided to raise the child left behind by Hao Jianguo and his wife, he seemed to know in his heart that it was not fair to his fiancée. He didn't have the heart to drag her down, but he was reluctant to let her go. So he didn't say much for the time being. He wanted to wait until he finished dealing with his eldest brother's family affairs and then go back to talk about the marriage. If his fiancée wanted to cancel the engagement in the end, Hao Yuanchao would be upset but he would not make things difficult for her.
Therefore, Liang Li thought about it and decided to take the initiative to cancel the engagement after returning, so as to avoid putting the woman in a difficult position or making her afraid to take the initiative due to moral constraints. If he proposed the idea, it would not damage the woman's reputation and would not delay her from remarrying.
As for the woman insisting on continuing the engagement? Liang Li didn't think much about this question. The probability was too low to be worth considering. Even if it really happened, he could firmly cancel the engagement on the grounds that he couldn't bear to delay raising four children and burden her. After completing the training, he would return to the army. The distance was long, and in this era of inconvenient transportation, it basically didn't matter.
For these reasons, Liang Li couldn't take the child away immediately. He had to leave the child in his hometown for a month or two. It would be convenient for him to pick up the child after he settled down. With this in mind, the child would have to be free from the care of relatives and elders for a month or two. The child's closest relative was naturally Hao Yuanchao, who was undoubtedly in possession of this body. Besides that, there was no one closer to the child on his father's side, and on his mother's side, it was his mother's family.
On the day of the funeral of Hao Jianguo and his wife, relatives from her natal family also came. Hao Dasao's parents were still alive, but they were very patriarchal and had four daughters and three sons. In order to find wives for their sons, they basically "sold" their daughters. Only Hao Dasao married a better man. Hao Jianguo really liked her and treated her well. The other daughters didn't marry well. They didn't go back home and seldom visited their natal family. Hao Dasao also seldom went back home, but she softened her heart when her parents came to ask for help. She gave some food to save her life, and the relationship became a little better. Many people from her natal family also came to the funeral this time, and they were quite conscientious.
Liang Li observed for a while and finally decided to let his second aunt come to help take care of the child for one or two months. The second daughter-in-law from her mother's family was a better person. Because his second uncle was honest and not very favored, his second aunt had to be a little aggressive for the sake of her family. But she was not a bad person and she also valued friendship. When the disaster broke out, her son almost died, and it was Sister Hao who couldn't bear it and secretly gave him some food to help him get through it. This time, after Sister Hao got the news of the accident, she was the first to come and even walked to the town to see the two newborn babies. She was very dedicated.
Taking care of the child wasn't for nothing. Liang Li, though a soldier, wasn't ignorant of the ways of the world. After all, he'd been an orphan and had to rely on himself for everything. If he'd been too straightforward, he wouldn't have achieved that status in his previous life. He still had to pay, but the amount was set at double the work points earned in the fields as compensation. Too much was bad, too little wasn't good either. This was about right.
