Zhang Caixia went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. She could smell the stewed meat from a few hundred meters away.
I'm still wondering who is so rich that they can afford to buy meat even though it's not a festival.
I didn't expect that when I walked to the door of my house, I found that the fragrance came from my own family. The smell was so fragrant that it was intoxicating.
Seeing that there was no one at the door, she secretly pinched a piece and put it in her mouth, saying softly: "Wenxiu, this is the meat that my second aunt brought back? Our second uncle's family is really rich."
Wenxiu was afraid that her sister-in-law would steal some food again, so she quickly took the whole bowl away.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, little sister, let us have two more pieces."
Zhang Caixia followed behind and called Wenxiu softly, afraid that if she spoke too loudly her mother-in-law would hear her and she would definitely be scolded again.
Wen Xiucai didn't listen to her. If he kept the dish in front of her for a while longer, half of the meat would be gone.
Here, Gu Xiaogu and Li Cuiying were sitting together and chatting.
"Why is Second Sister-in-law here today? I was planning to go back after I'm done with this busy period."
Although Gu Meifeng has not been back as often since her parents passed away, she still keeps in close contact with her brothers.
Even Gu Zhenhai, who was far away in the army, would often exchange letters with him, sending him local specialties picked from home.
Luan Huiying knew that many things were hard to buy in the countryside, so she would buy some rare things and send them back.
"Is it Wenxiu's marriage? Why are you so anxious to arrange it for her? I heard that the boy is a soldier and didn't come back even after the engagement?"
Being a soldier is not a good thing in the eyes of the public these days.
It's not that soldiers are bad, they are just afraid of the dangers of going to the battlefield. Being a soldier is glorious, but not every family is willing to send their sons to the army.
Gu Meifeng was quite satisfied with her future son-in-law. She often saw the child when he was young. He was a good person and there were not many troubles in his family.
"His family is also from Taoyuan Brigade, but they are not in the same production team as us. It was his aunt who proposed this marriage to me and I think it's a good idea.
I originally said I would take a vacation this year, and we wanted to take this opportunity to let the two children meet each other, but who knew that I suddenly received another task, so I can't come back this year.
Wenxiu has seen his photos and is quite satisfied. She plans to get married when he comes back next time and if both of them are satisfied.
"You're being too hasty. Do you know when he'll be back? Look at how often Xiaobei and the others only come back."
Li Cuiying sighed, not knowing whether this marriage was a good or bad one. "Ah, Wenxiu will inevitably have to work much harder in the future. We'll have to rely on her for all the big and small things at home. Are you willing to let her go?"
Of course Gu Meifeng was reluctant to do so, but she always wanted to find a better condition for her daughter.
Staying in the countryside, facing the earth and the sky all day long, my future children will only have the same fate. When will this end?
Gu Meifeng didn't have a very far-sighted vision. She just wanted her family to have a better life and didn't want her daughter to suffer.
"This is already a good offer, sister-in-law. I don't want Wenxiu to marry in the countryside. You said that our descendants will have to rely on the land for their livelihood. It's not easy for us."
Gu Meifeng has lived like this all her life. Her brothers and nephews from her mother's side have all gone to the city, and their living conditions are among the best in their area.
People outside knew that Wenxiu had so many promising uncles and cousins, and the door was blocked by people who came to propose marriage.
But how could those in the city be willing to look for someone from the countryside?
This is the one that Gu Meifeng has carefully selected. Although she has no parents at home, she is not a burden either. She will be the head of the family after she gets married.
Besides, they are in the army, and with Gu Zhenhai and Gu Qingbei around, there is no need to worry about them treating Wenxiu badly in the future.
"Just think it over with his uncle. Xiaoxue and I brought some cloth for Wenxiu to make some clothes. Xiaoxue also brought some vanishing cream. You're a grown-up girl now and will be getting married soon. You need to dress up nicely."
Zhang Caixia, who had just arrived, had her eyes light up when she heard there were other good things.
The cloth is good. They live in the countryside and can only get two inches of cloth a year, which is enough to make a pair of shorts.
The tickets a family gets are only enough to make a jacket, and the children can only pick up the ones from the older children, and then mend them for three years. Some people have never worn a new piece of clothing in their entire lives.
However, no matter how unreasonable it was, Zhang Caixia knew her aunt was there, so she had the shame not to say it.
"Mom, Auntie, please have dinner. Xiaoxue doesn't want to come over to eat?"
"No, she's going home to eat."
It was still early after lunch, but since they still had to continue working in the fields, Li Cuiying and Jiang Mengxue decided to go back first.
Before I even walked out of the group, someone started chasing me.
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, wait a minute."
Jiang Mengxue wasn't sure if he was calling her, so she turned around and took a look.
She looked familiar, but wasn't sure if it was someone she knew. However, the person was definitely coming for her.
"Xiaoxue, are you guys going back?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
The person who came was a woman in her thirties. Jiang Mengxue remembered that she was also a sister-in-law of the Jiang family. She seemed to be Han Qiuyan, the eldest cousin of Gu Wenxiu's uncle's family. She was not distantly related to Jiang Mengxue's family.
Han Qiuyan couldn't hold back her tears and they fell.
"Xiaoxue, you're a doctor, please go check on my son Zhuangzhuang. He's had a high fever since last night and it hasn't subsided yet. He was just talking nonsense. I'm really worried that he might have a brain problem."
It turned out that Zhuangzhuang was playing with a group of kids by the river two days ago and somehow he accidentally fell into the river. Fortunately, there was an adult nearby at the time and he was found and rescued as soon as he fell. He was not in danger of his life.
But it was only the end of April and the weather wasn't warm enough yet. I started coughing and having a fever when I got home that night.
They all thought that he had caught a cold from falling into the river, so they boiled some ginger water for him and asked him to cover himself with a quilt to sweat out the cold. They thought that he would be fine after a sleep, so they didn't take it seriously.
But I didn’t expect that it hasn’t healed until now, and the symptoms are getting worse.
He just started talking nonsense and couldn't listen to others talking to him.
Han Qiuyan started to get anxious. She originally wanted to borrow a car to take the child to the hospital, but she just heard that Jiang Mengxue was going back to her parents' home today.
Everyone nearby knew that Jiang Mengxue was a doctor in a big hospital. She could even cure her cousin and cousin-in-law who hadn't conceived a child after a year of marriage. So what else could she not cure?
So when she heard that Jiang Mengxue had returned, she came to see her again.
When I arrived at Jiang's house, I heard the children say that Jiang Mengxue had left, and she was probably almost out of Taoyuan Brigade by now.
So Han Qiuyan immediately chased after him in a hurry, fearing that the person had already gone far away.
