Chapter 122: Eating Bran and Vegetables

Sister Gu nodded in agreement, "That's right."

It’s not that she forgot that she used to farm at home after getting a job in the city, but the request made by her eldest sister was too outrageous.

Objectively speaking, whether it was her younger brother Gu Jianhua or her second uncle's Gu Jinzhu, the reason they were able to marry city wives was that they had jobs in the city, and her younger brother was even a soldier.

Girls will definitely look at material conditions when choosing a partner. It is impossible for them to marry you if you don't even have a job.

The same thing happened when her husband came to her.

Gu Erjie, "Second sister, just choose a good girl from the nearby village for Qingmu."

It means don't think about the girls in the city.

Sister Gu smiled and said, "Well, let's talk about it later. There's no rush."

Crowd: Who just said that at this age, my brother-in-law has become a father.

Sister Gu wants to find a city wife. Her son Qingmu is not bad looking, but he doesn't have a job in the city. If he had a job in the city, there would definitely be girls who would like him.

This matter was not discussed further.

Instead, they talked for a while about Su He's third sister-in-law's family, that is, Father Feng and Mother Feng. Of course, this topic had probably been discussed before Su He came.

But everyone doesn't mind talking about it again.

Su He handed Sister Gu some chocolate and said, "Try it, Sister."

Sister Gu, "What is this?"

Sister Gu was standing by and said, "Chocolate, imported from abroad."

Not really, this piece of chocolate is produced in our country. But in Sister Gu's opinion, it is eaten by foreigners and is rare in China, so it can be called a foreign product.

The chocolate was already in Sister Gu's mouth. She chewed it and said, "It's a bit bitter." But she didn't spit it out because she could taste sweetness in the bitterness.

Su He smiled and said, "It tastes a bit bitter."

"Mom, what are you eating?"

Little girl Zhao Qingyu came over, and Su He gave her a piece of chocolate. Children are different from adults, and they probably all like chocolate. After she finished eating, she asked, "Aunt, do you have any more?"

"Here you go." Su He broke off another piece for her.

He gave the rest to Sister Gu, "Sister, take this back and let Qingmu Qinglin and the others taste it."

When the two sons grew up, Sister Gu and her husband no longer took them out.

It was imported from abroad and was sent by her brother's sister-in-law's family. Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, it must be very precious. Sister Gu was embarrassed to accept it.

"No, no, just save it for the two babies."

Su He, "They both have food. Big sister, you can take this back. Big brother-in-law hasn't tasted it either."

Sister Gu glanced at her man, thanked Su He and accepted it.

Zhao Qingyu was a greedy girl. On the way back, she pestered Sister Gu to give her another piece of rice. Sister Gu scolded her, but she finally gave her a small piece.

In the past, the first thing Zhao Qingyu would do when she got home was to go look for her grandmother, but she didn’t go today because she still had some chocolate.

After her elder and second brothers had shared their share, she was still able to have a piece.

Father Feng, mother Feng, Feng Shuning and Su Che returned on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Father Su and mother Su prepared generous gifts for them.

Of course, Suhe also made preparations, and their gifts were nothing more than meat and dairy products.

Su's father and mother prepared a large lamb leg and milk tofu and milk skin, and Gu's mother prepared two old hens, so there was no need to worry about them getting damaged on the road in the middle of winter. In addition, they also prepared some dried fish, sun-dried mushrooms, dried beans and the like.

It was also a big bag filled with stuff.

"Jianhua Xiaohe, when you have time, please come over as a family of four."

"good."

Su He felt that Mr. and Mrs. Feng were very good people. It was said that when they were fighting the Japanese, they donated most of their property to the country to purchase supplies.

Such people, even if they are capitalists, are not bad. Besides, they are teachers who teach and educate people. How can they be defined as...

But when I think about how soldiers who have been to the battlefield are also defined, what about university teachers?

It's a question of the times.

The New Year is over.

By early March, Su He also started working.

After a few years, her salary increased a little, but not much. Compared with workers, teachers' salary is still low. Workers' salary is higher after they have survived the three-year apprenticeship period.

But who gives her a vacation? Others work 365 days a year with almost no rest, but she rests at home for at least four months a year.

The two babies are already three weeks old. As the children grow up, Su He bought them pens and notebooks for them to draw and write numbers on.

Whatever the two grandchildren do is good, just like the two babies scribble on papers, and the parents can also praise them.

Su He was very convinced and she couldn't brag anymore.

Even their own children.

When something big happened in the country, ordinary people like them who lived in a small county town could not feel it for a while. The book described it very clearly: the meeting was held in May and the criticism and struggle began in August.

Now it is June, and there has been no change in their county, nor has there been any rumors. However, it is understood that everyone in their county is poor and there are no capitalists.

Apart from anything else, the happy holiday in Soho has begun again.

Mingyue, the eldest daughter of Gu's second sister, seems to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians since she entered junior high school. Her academic performance has been getting better and better. She ranked 14th in the class in the mid-term exam in the first year of junior high school and ranked 7th in the class in the final exam.

Next semester, I ranked 5th in the midterm exam and 4th in the final exam.

The child worked very hard. When she didn’t understand something in math class, she would ask the teacher after class and also ask Su He when she got home from school.

She said, "Aunt, I didn't know learning could be so fun."

"Aunt, I also want to be like Uncle Su San, and go to college and bring honor to my parents."

Mingyue used to think that going to school was fine, and it would be good to stay at home and farm, or help her parents with work.

Now I realize that her idea was totally wrong. If she hadn't gone to school last year, she would have been married and had children in two years, and would have been revolving around the stove, children and husband.

Not only was I unable to give birth to a son, but I was also forced to do so by my mother-in-law, and was criticized by others.

She was grateful to her parents, who said they would not let her go to school anymore, but still sent her to junior high school. Her mother was afraid that she would get tired of studying and didn't want to go, so she specially made a new dress for her.

Thanks also to her grandmother and aunt who tried their best to persuade her to stop it.

She was indeed a child before, too young, and there were many things she didn't understand.

Su He was very supportive, "Sure, Mingyue, you are very talented and hardworking. Your previous learning environment was not right, which led to your dislike of learning."

"Aunt believes in you, keep going."

Mingyue nodded excitedly, "Aunt, I want to tell Chunqing and enlighten her."

Studying is so good, why not study?

So Mingyue returned home and tried to counsel her sister.

“..........”

"If you don't study, you'll have to get married."

"If you don't give birth to a son after marriage, your mother-in-law will say that she won't even give you eggs to eat, and will make you eat coarse food!"

Her sister said a lot of things before, saying that she couldn't give birth to a son after getting married and was told by her mother-in-law that she was not allowed to eat good food and had to eat only coarse vegetables.

Little girl Chunqing was really a little scared.

My parents said that she was the most greedy among the four children. If she went to her husband's house and couldn't eat good food, not even eggs, what would she do?

Chunqing ran out to ask her mother if what her eldest sister said was true. Her mother answered her second sister, "Of course it is true. I, your mother, have suffered a lot. Listen to me..."
