Chapter 414 Extra 1: The Past of Comrade Chen Yuling and Su Changyuan (Father and Mother Su)
1934.
Mongolia Province, Zhalute Banner.
That day, Su Changyuan followed his master out to sell meat as usual. When he arrived at the stall and placed the meat in place, he glanced at the restaurant opposite, but did not see the girl doing odd jobs.
At first I thought she might have been late for work today, but she was nowhere to be seen until noon.
Su Changyuan went to ask the restaurant owner, a chubby lady, who heard, "You mean Yuling? Someone from her family came over yesterday and asked her to go home."
"Home?"
The fat lady nodded, "Yes, maybe there is something."
"Oh."
Fat Auntie, "Do you have anything to do with her?"
Su Changyuan shook his head, "It's okay."
In fact, they were not very familiar with each other and had only exchanged a few words, but his master's butcher shop was across from this restaurant, so he could see him every day.
He and she have been working face to face for two years.
Even though we haven't spoken much, we feel very familiar with each other. That's the feeling.
I don’t know what happened in her family, I hope it’s nothing serious.
A day passed like this.
the next day.
When Su Changyuan was following his master to set up the stall, he glanced towards the restaurant opposite and saw a familiar figure.
Even though we haven't spoken much, we are already acquaintances.
So after setting up the stall, Su Changyuan went to the restaurant to ask.
"You went home yesterday? Did something happen at home?"
Su Changyuan asked the question but didn't get a response. He felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard her say, "If I become your wife, will you take me with you?"
"Ah?" Su Changyuan was stunned.
Chen Yuling, "Yesterday my father and stepmother called me over and told me that they were going to send me to the landlord as a concubine."
"I didn't mess with them. I sneaked out in the middle of the night."
Her home was far from the flag, but after her father and stepmother found out that she had escaped, they would come to the flag to look for her soon. She had no other place to hide except this restaurant.
"I heard that your home is hundreds of miles away. If I become your daughter-in-law, can you take me with you? To your hometown, so they can't find me."
Su Changyuan was a little confused. Wife, wife, you have it so soon?
He said, "Can you wait for me for a while? I'll go ask my master."
About five minutes later, Chen Yuling saw him coming back. He looked very happy and said, "My master asked me to find a car team to go to my hometown."
"We just need to follow them."
Chen Yuling, "Really?"
Su Changyuan, "Really, I'm not lying to you."
Chen Yuling, "I have packed my luggage and can leave at any time."
The fat lady who runs the restaurant is a good boss, and the Chen family came over in the afternoon.
Fat aunt, "Didn't your daughter go back home? She hasn't been here since she went back."
"What happened?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Father Chen said, "It's okay, it's okay."
The dead girl went to her uncle's house?
Let's go and take a look. The landlord has already taken the money and it is impossible to return it. The only thing he can do is find his daughter and send her over.
It was not until the restaurant closed that the fat aunt let Chen Yuling out.
"Old Zhang has sent a message saying that the convoy must set out at 3 p.m. tomorrow. You two should follow them then."
"I'll take you to Old Zhang's house later."
"Here is the money. Here are some biscuits and eggs for you two to eat on the way."
"Ling, I think you are a smart girl. You know how to fight for yourself. I heard that Su Changyuan has no parents and was raised by his uncle."
"Without your parents to help you, your life will be more difficult, but now that you have chosen this path, you can't look back."
Chen Yuling, "Auntie, I understand. I won't look back."
Because there is no way to turn back, there is no point in her turning back, she can only move forward.
The fat aunt said, "Well, it's good that you know. I won't say any more. I'll take you to Old Zhang's house and we'll talk for a few hours. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Uh-huh."
Chen Yuling didn't have much luggage, just a package containing her spare clothes and shoes, as well as some dry food prepared for her by Auntie Pang.
The money was put in the underwear pocket.
The two of them went to Old Zhang's house with lanterns. Su Changyuan saw her coming, his eyes sparkling, "You're here."
Chen Yuling nodded, "Yes."
Su Changyuan, "Have you eaten? I have a cake with meat filling."
When he was about to leave, his master baked him two stuffed cakes made of white flour and meat, which were especially delicious.
He ate one and saved one for his wife.
Chen Yuling smiled, "I've eaten, you can eat it."
Su Changyuan, "I don't want to eat it. I'll save it for you to eat tomorrow."
the next day.
The meat pie eventually ended up in Chen Yuling's stomach. When she was about to leave, Master Su Changyuan, Old Zhang, also gave her some money, dry food, and a pig-killing knife.
"Keep it for self-defense on the road." said Old Zhang.
Su Changyuan knelt down and kowtowed to his master. Old Zhang said, "Go quickly, or your wife's family will come looking for you again!"
Su Changyuan, "Master, goodbye."
After saying this, he took Chen Yuling's hand and followed the convoy.
Zaruut Banner, I'm afraid he won't have the chance to come again.
On the way.
Su Changyuan said to Chen Yuling, "Yuling, my family has nothing. I was raised by my uncle."
"I know that if we don't have a house, we build it with our own hands. If we don't have things, we move them with our own hands. If we don't have money, we earn it."
"No."
"Okay." Su Changyuan put his arm around her shoulders.
