Chapter 402 The Daughter of Luck (Page 1/2)
Due to the special nature of the Chinese New Year in 1976, it was quite dull, gloomy and depressed. People didn't even think of going out to pay New Year's greetings.
They all close their doors and live their lives well.
But the year of 1977 filled the entire nation with hope.
Jiang Qian had prepared the New Year gifts for her hometown early on.
Because the atmosphere is much better this year, she planned to send back a lot more bacon.
I am sending four strips of bacon back to my parents' home. Each strip weighs two kilograms, which makes eight kilograms in total.
I also plan to send four pieces of bacon back to my father-in-law, Han.
I don't care whether the eldest son can also get a share of the profits. With my current financial situation, I really don't want to care about these things.
On the contrary, Han's mother, seeing that she had bought so much bacon from outside to send back, said that it would be a waste if they gave it to Han Jiayue and the others.
The old lady really doesn't like her granddaughter Han Jiayue.
Especially after guessing that she was most likely pregnant before marriage and then had sex with Huang Geng, a male educated youth, and forced her family to marry her off.
I really don't like it.
But Jiang Qian didn't care about that. All she wanted was a good reputation.
After all, my mother-in-law was brought out by them, and my father-in-law was left alone in the village, so of course he had to send more things back.
And even now, Han's father-in-law has not asked them for a penny. He thinks that their expenses will increase after coming to the capital and does not want to add to their burden.
In the old man's words, he could still earn work points and food rations on his own, so he didn't have to send money back home. He had sent money before, but it was returned by his father, who called his third aunt Han Shijia.
Jiang Qian didn't lack the fifty yuan for retirement money, but for an elder like her father-in-law, she really didn't mind showing more respect to him.
As for those who enjoyed the blessing of their father-in-law, she didn't care so much.
So she turned around to comfort Han's mother, and Han's mother talked about it with her son Han Shiguo in private.
The daughter-in-law's filial piety is really beyond words.
Of course, Han Shiguo also repaid his wife with his actions. He always asked Jiang Qian to sleep until noon, and her face was rosy when she woke up.
After sending the things back to his hometown, Jiang Qian also started preparing snacks for this year.
This year she really wants to have a good and lively New Year.
Take Zhang Xiaohui with me to make all kinds of delicious food for the children.
There are all kinds of things like spiced melon seeds, rice crisps, shrimp chips, fried dough twists, popcorn, etc.!
There are also the sugar paintings, candied haws, and candied apples that were made at the old base in the past, and they are also available this year!
This also made the house exude an enchanting fragrance. When other military wives in the family compound smelled it, they all wondered privately what delicious food had been cooked.
Others may not know, but the children at home were delighted.
For example, the fourth child, Han Jiachen, who was over one year old, was so happy that he took a small paper bag filled with snacks. When the little brother Lu Lin from next door came over, he generously treated him to some snacks.
Lu Lin is more than three months older than Han Jiachen. He ate the crispy shrimp chips and kept praising them for being so good!
Han Jiachen couldn't speak yet, but he understood, grinned and gave him two more pieces.
Lu Lin nodded as he ate, "Great, great!"
Gu Yunlan found it hilarious. While eating popcorn, she told Jiang Qian that the newspaper had sent her an invitation, wanting to invite her to be the editor-in-chief.
"Do you want to go?" Jiang Qian knew what she meant and asked.
"I do want to." Gu Yunlan sighed.
