In the 1980s, although divorce was not a new thing, it was still relatively rare in this military compound.
Even fewer are proposed by women.
Lu Yunxiao didn't expect her to say that in front of her grandmother and mother. He choked and said angrily, "Jiang Yi, that's enough. There is a limit to temper."
"Didn't you just promise me that?"
"That's because..." Lu Yunxiao was speechless for a moment.
The old lady was anxious, "Yiyi, don't talk about divorce so easily."
"I didn't act on impulse. I thought it over carefully," said Jiang Yi.
"Tsk, you're still thinking carefully." Li Meizhen pouted, "You have no diploma, no strength, where can you go after the divorce?"
She doesn't believe it.
The Lu family is not a wealthy family, but it is much better off than the average family. Yun Xiao is about to be promoted to team leader and has a bright future. Jiang Yi is a country girl, how can she give up her stable life and be ridiculed when she returns to her parents' home?
The old lady's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. She immediately took out her cane and hit her grandson. "From today on, you will cut off all contact with Su Wanqing."
That was a real fight.
Lu Yunxiao dodged like he was skipping rubber ropes, "Grandma, she is being unreasonable, and you are joining her in making trouble? If she wants to make trouble, let her make enough trouble."
After saying that, he ran away angrily.
Jiang Yi looked at the direction he ran away and felt calm.
"Jiang Yi, don't mention divorce anymore. Grandma can't stand being scared." The old lady almost couldn't breathe just now.
This is also the only thing that Jiang Yi is worried about. It seems that he still needs to do some ideological work on the old lady.
But this marriage must be divorced.
She was not afraid of starving to death.
During the thirty years without any small fruits, she repeated her senior year of high school, was admitted to a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and obtained many certificates.
She didn't remember how many certificates she had. She imagined that her little fruit would be so outstanding when he grew up, and she would live his life for him.
She also made some money through investment and sponsored many poor students, and later donated all the money to the mountainous areas.
It would definitely be difficult to start over, so Jiang Yi didn't think about it for the time being. She just immersed herself in the joy in front of her and planned to cook a sumptuous dinner for Xiao Guozi in the evening.
Material things were not very abundant in that era, but fortunately, coupons were no longer needed, so she had some spare money and could buy a lot of food in town.
While in town, she also called her older brother Jiang Yang, who worked in a fan factory in the city.
My mother was hospitalized last year. My younger sister happened to be attending high school in the city, so my older brother and his wife took my mother over. Now our whole family lives in a rented house.
Jiang Yi told her elder brother that she would go back the day after tomorrow.
After the divorce, I can only live with my parents for the time being.
Jiang Yang still didn't believe it. "The sun rose from the west? It finally remembered us."
After Jiang Yi got married, although she lived not far away, she seldom went back to her parents' home, so it was no wonder that he was unhappy.
Moreover, Jiang Yi was so persistent in marrying Lu Yunxiao that the whole village laughed at her and said she was shameless for throwing herself at someone else's husband.
There is even a conspiracy theory that says she deliberately ambushed in the pond just to catch the big fish Lu Yunxiao.
The Jiang family was under a lot of pressure.
However, Jiang Yang still gave all the required dowry, including a bicycle, a sewing machine, a tape recorder, etc. That was in 1981, and these things were still quite precious.
Jiang Yi's eyes were hot. In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to go back, but she felt that she would not be happy after getting married and she was ashamed to face her family. "Brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
The person on the other end of the phone paused. "It's fine. What are you saying? It's not that Lu Yunxiao bullied you."
As expected of a blood relationship, Jiang Yang felt something was wrong when he heard her tone.
"No, I'm fine. We'll talk when we meet."
Phone calls are expensive.
As for the divorce, they can only act first and report later.
These days, pork costs RMB 1.5 per pound, eggs cost 90 cents per pound, and vegetables are all grown by farmers themselves, so they are even cheaper. But in just two years, prices have risen several times.
It was from then on that the national economy began to grow by leaps and bounds.
Jiang Yi had more than 300 yuan in her hand, and she spent money without hesitation to buy ribs, pork, lettuce and potatoes, which Xiao Guozi liked to eat. She also bought cloth to make clothes for Xiao Guozi and her eldest brother's son Shanshan.
In the evening, she made corn, yam and pork ribs soup, hand-beaten meatballs, braised potato cubes, steamed egg custard with shrimp, and used rice, black sesame and carrots to make rice balls in the shape of animals.
Although Xiao Guozi is not picky about food, she just wants to make it for him and has been holding it in for thirty years.
The little fruit's eyes twinkled and sparkled.
"Mom, did you really do this?"
My mother can cook, but she has never cooked so deliciously, beautifully and funly.
I couldn’t bear to eat it when I held it in my hand.
Seeing the little guy's satisfied face, Jiang Yi's heart was filled with sadness and happiness, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." The little face smiled like a little sunflower.
"What dish do you make at home that smells so good?" Aunt Wang from next door couldn't help but come over to take a look.
Jiang Yi brought her a large bowl of pork rib soup. Aunt Wang smiled and took a sip. "Wow, it smells so good, Mrs. Lu, I didn't realize you are such a good cook."
She was beautiful to begin with, and Aunt Wang couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Almost everyone in the courtyard knew about this girl's feat of chasing her husband.
I heard that Lu Yunxiao was so annoyed by her that he got married to her.
As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. From the days that followed, it can be seen that Jiang Yi was not very happy, especially in the past two years, there seemed to be a sense of depression between her brows.
But today, Aunt Wang just felt that there was something different about Jiang Yi.
He is full of energy and his whole body is radiant.
When Lu Yunxiao came back, he saw Jiang Yi talking and laughing with the neighbor auntie. The corners of her mouth were curved, and her eyes were bright, revealing an indescribable brightness. He was stunned for a moment.
Haha, you look so happy, you don’t look like you’re going to get a divorce at all.
"Take your time drinking. I'll go back first." Jiang Yi smiled and went back to the house.
Lu Yunxiao followed him in and was a little surprised when he saw the food on the table. "Did you make this?"
Sure enough, she was just making a fuss before, and her heart was still with him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi ignored him.
The little fruit said proudly, "My mother made it."
Jiang Yi smiled and touched his head, "Eat more small fruits, and grow taller quickly."
He didn't even give Lu Yunxiao a glance.
Considering that she had made so many delicious meals for him, Lu Yunxiao decided not to bother with her.
But he soon discovered.
There was no food for him on the table.
He stood up and went to get some rice from the pot, but found that there was no rice left.
Looking at the soup pot again, there was not a drop left.
But he had just seen her give a big bowl of soup to Aunt Wang!
Lu Yunxiao sat down and looked at Jiang Yi with a heavy look in his eyes, "You did it on purpose."
"Hey, what did you say?" Jiang Yi seemed not to hear clearly.
Lu Yunxiao's eyes darkened again, "I have no food to eat."
Li Meizhen also felt that Jiang Yi was overdoing it. "Why didn't you cook for Yun Xiao? It's not like we're out of rice at home."
Jiang Yi seemed to understand and blinked, "Oh, he didn't say he would come back for dinner. I thought he went to the West Courtyard to eat."
It's not the first time.
In the past, she cooked for him, and most of the time he came back saying he was full.
I ate it at Su Wanqing's place.
She put a lot of effort into feeding the chickens in the backyard.
The old lady said, "That's right. If you don't report it, you won't get anything to eat."
Li Meizhen secretly glared at Jiang Yi and gave her rice and soup to her son. "You eat it. It doesn't matter if I eat it or not at night."
Lu Yunxiao stood up and said, "I'm going to the cafeteria to eat."
He turned around and counted to three, thinking that Jiang Yi would definitely call him.
Sure enough, Jiang Yi spoke.
