Chapter 45 Wedding Gift

Zhang Xiuying: Just assume that she didn’t think of anything.

There weren't many dishes. I wonder why Zhao Jinzhi asked her to help. Was she showing off to her?

Zhang Xiuying had reason to be suspicious.

Everyone was making dumplings and talking about their brothers' marriage. Su Che said, "I'm only 20 years old. I'm not in a hurry."

Su He came in and heard this.

In the book, her third brother got married in the spring of 1965. Not long after the wedding, a major movement broke out, and her third brother's father-in-law and mother-in-law, as university teachers, were naturally affected.

He was sent to a farm, where he suffered a lot. After the country began to reform and open up, he returned to Beijing and died shortly thereafter.

I can't bear it anymore.

Su He thought that small people like them could not stop the movement, so they could only prevent it.

When the time comes, she will remind her third brother and his wife.

Gu's mother said, "His third uncle will graduate next year, right?"

Su Che, "Yes, I will finish it next summer."

Mother Gu: "After graduation, should I stay in Beijing to work or go back to my hometown?"

"In Beijing."

Mother Gu nodded and said, "That's good." The national capital.

It’s faster to make dumplings when there are more people around. In less than half an hour, the dumplings were ready and the dishes were cooked. Now it was time to wash our hands and eat.

At this time, Gu Jianhua also came back with the wine.

Father Gu set the table. Su He wanted to help get the dishes and chopsticks, but Mother Gu wouldn't let her. "Xiao He, you are still in confinement after childbirth. You can't work."

Su He: Holding a bowl is also a job

Mother Gu: Okay, but what if my hands hurt when I get old?

At the table were Gu's father, Gu Jianhua, Su He, and her three brothers. Su Che asked Gu's mother and second aunt Zhang Xiuying to come and sit over as well.

Mother Gu smiled and said, "You guys eat, you guys can have a drink together. I won't be hungry soon, I'll go check on the two babies."

Zhang Xiuying didn't sit down either. She thought that since others had come, why should she sit down as a helper?

She said goodbye to Gu's mother and said she was going home. Gu's mother brought her some dishes, including chicken and mutton.

Zhang Xiuying felt that her sister-in-law was really generous to her daughter-in-law. During the confinement period, she was fed chicken and lamb every day. Who could bear that?

Thinking of this, he took a bite of the mutton. It was so fresh and delicious. He finished the mutton bone on the road. Zhao Jinzhi was a bit stingy. He was only given one mutton bone. Is one enough? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth.

Zhang Xiuying brought the chicken back home, went to the kitchen to get chopsticks, and ate it with her uncle Gu with cornmeal steamed buns.

During the meal, Uncle Gu asked about Su He's eldest and third brothers.

There are three brothers. Let’s not talk about the second and third brothers for now. Zhang Xiuying is the eldest brother in the truth. She said, “Su He’s mother is really good at giving birth to children. Take Xiao He’s eldest brother, for example. He is estimated to be 1.9 meters tall, tall and handsome. Wow.”

Uncle Gu, "I heard he is also in the army, and is a company commander."

Zhang Xiuying, "Yes, I was thinking of introducing my niece to Brother Xiaohe, but I didn't expect that she already has a date."

In response to this, Uncle Gu said, "What are you thinking? Can someone want a girl from our village?"

"Hey, what you said is really devaluing yourself. What's wrong with being a village girl? Besides, all my nieces from my mother's side are pretty, with big eyes and thick eyebrows. They work hard and every family would like them. They would all beg to marry them." Zhang Xiuying snorted.

Uncle Gu shook his head, "That's not the case."

Didn't the third son of his family find a city girl? Then he made her a son-in-law. If marrying a city girl means making her a son-in-law, then it would be better not to marry her.

The girls in their village are pretty good, down-to-earth and hardworking. Look at his eldest brother, ever since his daughter-in-law got pregnant, he has to go to the county to deliver milk every day even in the middle of winter.

Whose daughter-in-law is so precious when she is pregnant that she wants her father-in-law to deliver milk on a bicycle every day. She is even more pretentious than that capitalist lady.

Zhang Xiuying, "Come on, whether you are getting married or not, it is better to find someone who eats government food. You didn't see what good things Su He's elder and third brothers brought to them, two big packages."

Uncle Gu didn't say anything. Zhang Xiuying guessed to herself, "I think there's a military coat inside. Tsk tsk, the Su family really loves their daughter. They sent something as rare as a military coat here."

"It's so comfortable to wear a military coat in this winter."

Zhang Xiuying was very envious and asked why she didn't have such a relative.

In the main room of the Gu family, Su He left the table after dinner and asked Gu's mother to eat. Gu Jianhua, Gu's father and her three brothers were drinking!

Mr. Gu is a man of few words when he is not drinking, but he starts to talk a lot after drinking.

He asked about the second son's work, the third son's studies, the eldest son's work in the army, and then talked about his own son.

After the meal, Su Yue and Su Che thought that the person their sister had found was good and that the person in their family was also suitable.

This meal lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Jianhua was already slightly drunk, as was his eldest brother Su Yue. These two drank the most. Both of them had been in the army, so they had common topics to talk about.

The third brother drank a little of the drink that the second brother Su Xiao drank, but not much.

"Jianhua, let's come over again when the baby is one month old, and then we'll have a good drink." said the eldest brother Su Yue, patting Gu Jianhua on the shoulder.

Gu Jianhua nodded, "Listen to your elder brother."

Su Che said goodbye to Gu's mother and said, "Auntie, we are leaving now. Please go in. It is too cold outside."

Mother Gu: "Okay, drive slowly on the road."

"His second uncle, look at them, they are all drinking."

Second brother Su Xiao is still very reliable.

Su Xiao, "Don't worry, Auntie, I can carry them back."

Although Su Yue had been drinking, he had no problem riding a bicycle and was very stable all the way.

Needless to say, Su Che just tasted a little bit.

The three of them arrived home safely.

"These military uniforms and coats were brought back by his uncle from the army, right? Why didn't he keep them for himself instead of sending them here?"

Su He and Gu's mother opened the package together.

Mother Gu really didn't know what to say. Xiaohe's elder brother even sent her such an expensive military coat.

Jianhua served in the army for eight years and only brought back one coat, which was worn by Gu's father in winter. The military coat was long and very warm.

Su He handed the military coat to Gu Jianhua and said, "Here you go."

She wore big.

The eldest brother brought her big items, while the third brother brought her small items that girls could use.

The military coat was too valuable, so Gu's mother thought about what kind of gift she could give back. Su He said, "Mom, when my eldest brother gets married, I'll just mail him some beef jerky, milk tofu, and butter."

"They don't have it there."

"My eldest brother said this military coat was a wedding present for Jianhua and me."

Gu's mother couldn't think of a suitable return gift, so she nodded.

"Okay, let's mail some more food."

Su He, "They eat in the cafeteria."

Mother Gu said, "The postal rations are definitely good. Even if your brother and sister-in-law eat in the army cafeteria, you can use these rations to give gifts or something."

Su He, "Okay, Mom, we'll see then."

She put the scarf that her third brother bought for her on her neck and asked Gu Jianhua, "Does it look good?"

Gu Jianhua's eyes looked a little strange, and he said, "It looks good."

Su He felt that if Gu's father and mother were not there, this guy would have pounced on her and kissed her. His eyes were full of lust and desire!
