When Shen Yuebai heard the conversation between the two, his heart felt warm, and for the first time he felt like home.
Although his uncle was nice to him, his two aunts were not easy to get along with. They often targeted him and even warned him not to go to their house.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have joined the army at such a young age.
At that time, because he had not eaten enough for many years, the sixteen-year-old boy was pale and thin, and less than 1.6 meters tall.
Fortunately, the conscription requirements were not high at that time.
"Jia Jia, eat first." After confirming the wedding date, Shen Yuebai stopped calling Comrade Xu and called Jia Jia directly.
There were not many vegetables at home, so Grandma Xu asked someone to exchange some eggs for her and made two cold dishes.
These dishes may look simple, but they are usually very luxurious.
"Xiao Shen, there aren't many dishes. Don't be disgusted. Just eat whatever you want."
Shen Yuebai felt that the eggs tonight were particularly delicious: “With so many dishes, how could I dislike them.”
After they finished eating, they took out the things they had bought.
There are mirrors, enamel basins, enamel pots, quilts, sheets, pillowcases, etc.
However, these quilts are all red.
These beddings are usually handmade by the bride's family and symbolize good wishes for the newlyweds.
Old Mrs. Xu touched the soft quilt, her wrinkled face full of emotion: "Time flies so fast, Jia Jia will be married in the blink of an eye."
Xu Jiajia hugged Old Lady Xu and said, "Grandma, you and Dad raised me. I will stay with you until you grow old."
Old Mrs. Xu smiled kindly and said, "You will be joining the army in the future, so how can you accompany us until we grow old?
Just take care of your own little family. I have your father to take care of it, so you don't have to worry."
Shen Yuebai was very greedy for such a family, and felt that it would be more lively for everyone to live together: "Grandma, I will apply for a bigger house, and you and Dad will go with the army."
Old Mrs. Xu shook her head. "No, no, the army has organization and discipline, and we can't mess things up. You should live in the same size apartment your leader assigns you. It's the same for me and your father living at home."
…
The next morning, at daybreak, Mrs. Xu got up and took out the cotton wool that had been rolled long ago.
Old Mrs. Xu has been saving these cotton wools for several years.
She planned to sew a quilt weighing twelve pounds, two quilts weighing ten pounds, and one quilt weighing eight pounds for Xu Jiajia.
Xu Jiajia got out of bed with her messy hair and saw Old Lady Xu sewing a quilt. She yawned and said, "Grandma, let me help you."
Old Mrs. Xu pushed her away and said, "After you wash up, go have breakfast. Don't get in the way here."
Xu Jiajia rubbed her eyes and said, "That's fine."
Just after washing up, a woman rushed into the yard and yelled towards the main room: "Old lady Xu, come out!"
