Chapter 139 Is the memory true?
My second sister and her husband didn't have any big requirements. They just asked for fifty yuan as a dowry and then built a house in the village for the couple to live in after they got married.
The rest is gone.
The girl's parents are reasonable, so the boy's side can't be too bad either. After listening to this, Tang Zeyan said, "In addition to the betrothal gift, buy a bicycle for your brother and sister-in-law."
I bought a bicycle for her. Gu's second sister and her husband were very surprised. Mingyue was also surprised. She looked at Tang Zexu, and Tang Zexu winked at her.
"This guy is good. Mingyue didn't find the wrong person." Gu's mother whispered to Su He.
Su He nodded in agreement, "It's better than marrying a villager."
If you marry a villager, you won’t have a bicycle and you will have to live with your in-laws’ family.
How many parents-in-law like Gu's father and mother are there? Gu's eldest sister is still Gu's mother's daughter. Logically speaking, her temperament is similar to Gu's mother, at least when it comes to treating their daughter-in-law.
But it is very different from Gu's mother.
In fact, families in the city are similar. There are very few families like the Tang family. Their parents are gone, and the eldest brother is in charge of the family. The family conditions are also good, and after getting married, they live with their parents in the village.
So the person Mingyue chose is truly one in a million.
Mingyue's marriage was settled. They would hold the wedding after the house was built and dried.
Tang Zeyan worked on the black market and had plenty of industrial tickets and all kinds of tickets. He got the bicycle the next day and sent it to Second Sister Gu's house together with the betrothal money.
At first, the villagers grumbled about why Gu's second sister and her husband came here and did not marry their daughter to a village boy but to an educated youth instead.
I don’t even have a house, where will I live after I get married?
Everyone was really excited and wondered if the couple had known about Tang Zhiqing's family conditions long ago and that was why they agreed so readily.
It was a pity. If they had known that Tang Zhiqing's family was so well-off, they would have married their daughter to him. Some other female educated youth had the same idea.
What a pity.
The house was built next to Gu's second sister's house, not far away. It was a three-room brick house and not very big. It took about half a month to build and could be moved in after two months of sun exposure.
The house was built in August, September, October and November.
The wedding will be held after the autumn harvest.
The girl was getting married, and if she went out to the fields she would get too tanned and would not look good in her red wedding dress, so Second Sister Gu did not let her go out to the fields.
Stay at home and cook.
After checking the date, the wedding banquet was set on November 10th, which was October 12th in the lunar calendar, a good day.
Uncle Su He and Aunt Gu Jianhua treated all the younger generations equally and gave each of them a pair of pillowcases when they got married. However, she secretly gave them twenty yuan as a gift.
She has many aunts, and each of them has given birth to many children. She cannot give them a big gift because there are so many children.
But she was good friends with Second Sister Gu and she also liked her niece Mingyue very much, so she secretly gave her twenty yuan. Of course Second Sister Gu knew about this.
Mingyue told Second Sister Gu immediately.
Gu's father and mother, the grandmother, also treated everyone equally and bought them a pair of hot water bottles. Other relatives gave similar gifts, including a pair of washbasins for Gu's third sister, a pair of towels for Gu's eldest sister, and a pair of soap boxes for Aoki and Zhang Ning.
Gu's second sister and her husband made a cabinet for their daughter, as well as two sets of new quilts and mattresses, and asked Su He to find the missing cotton.
I also made a new dress for my daughter, kept thirty dollars at the bottom of the suitcase, and bought the bicycle.
These were the dowries given by the parents of my second sister and brother-in-law.
This dowry was very impressive in the village, and Su He felt that it would not be inferior in the city.
On the day of the wedding banquet, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu also came, representing the whole family, and brought their granddaughter Gu Li with them.
Since her rebirth, Gu Li has been wondering whether her memories of her previous life are true, and whether her so-called previous life was just a dream.
Because everyone in my hometown in this life is wrong.
In the eldest grandfather’s family, the third daughter’s cousin Gu Yunlan, according to the memory of the previous life, is already dead. She died of illness a few years ago!
Now she is living a good life. I heard from my parents that she divorced her ex-husband. Later, she found a job in the city and met her current husband.
The two also had a child.
It's really outrageous. In this life, not only are my uncle and aunt Gu Jianhua and Su He still alive, but even my aunt Gu Yunlan is different from what I remembered from my previous life.
There is also my second cousin’s eldest daughter, Wang Mingyue. She should have married someone from the next village. She already has a child now. Why did she only get married in this life?
And I'm still a high school graduate.
As far as I can remember, she was only in primary school.
Not only her, but also Wang Chunqing stopped studying after elementary school, but went to junior high school in this life.
Gu Li couldn't understand why the development of her family in this life was different from that in her previous life. If her memory of her previous life was just a dream, then why was this dream so clear?
If she was reborn, why are these people's trajectories different from her previous life?
What is the reason?
Gu Li felt that the problem was with his cousin Gu Jianhua and his aunt Su He. His uncle died in the war in his previous life, and his aunt died in childbirth upon hearing the bad news.
But not in this life.
I heard that during the Chinese New Year in 1964, my third cousin was abused by her ex-husband, so she ran back to her parents' home, and then divorced with the support of her sister-in-law Su He.
In her previous life, both Gu Jianhua and Su He had died, and her family was in great grief. Even if Gu Yunlan was subjected to domestic violence, she would not run back to her family to cause trouble.
Then a series of things changed.
Gu Li does not think that her experiences in her previous life were a dream. She is 100% sure that all her experiences in her previous life were real.
And she was truly reborn.
So what was the reason that caused Gu Jianhua's cousin to not die in the battle? The bullet missed the target.
Or maybe his comrades were also reborn like him? And protected him?
There must be cat pussies involved, but as for Gu Jianhua and Su He, their cousin, there is definitely no possibility of them being reborn.
If my uncle Gu Jianhua were reborn, he would definitely make military achievements and continue to stay in the army instead of retiring.
Not likely.
I guess there's not much I can do after rebirth. After all, there's no mercy on the battlefield. Writing a letter to remind him is like saying nothing.
Gu Li felt that there must be a problem with the troops.
She was thinking that since the life trajectories of so many people were different from their previous lives, would Zhou Yinghuai be affected?
Probably not, after all, the distance is so far.
No matter what, she had to study hard and wait for the college entrance examination in 1978 to be admitted to Peking University and become Zhou Yinghuai's classmate.
It's a pity that she doesn't have a golden finger. If she had one, she could make a lot of money. When the country reforms and opens up, she can buy a house, a shop, and do business.
