They soon arrived at the entrance of the alley. Seeing Grandma He and Grandma Shen talking in front of the door, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they didn't arrive too late.
"Come here quickly, we're waiting for you guys to have dinner."
Grandma He and Grandpa He attach great importance to their eldest grandson's house buying and banquet. They have been directing and helping here since yesterday.
"Here it comes, grandma."
"Here comes Grandma He."
Three voices sounded at the same time, and the three people walked in unison towards the small courtyard building at the entrance of the alley.
The four houses opposite the entrance of this alley were all bought by Uncle He and given to his sons.
The other three families had finished their meals before the New Year, leaving only He Jiadong who came a few days before the New Year.
The houses next to these families were bought by Uncle He Er and Uncle He San and divided among their sons.
The three families bought the houses from He Wanqing, and some were sold by people acquainted by Gu's mother and grandfather.
Of course He's mother also bought one, but He's mother and father also bought one for He Wanqing.
Also because of He's mother's operation, He Wanyi, He Wanlin, and Chen Ping, who got married last year, all have a house given by their parents.
Although the house they have is not as good as the one He's mother bought for He Wanqing, it is still a hundred times better than those who have nothing after getting married.
The three followed Grandma He and Grandma Shen into the yard. As soon as they entered the door, they were surrounded by people from the He family and the Shen family, and were arranged to sit at the table to prepare for dinner.
All the members of the He family and the Shen family have now come to Nanshi from the He family brigade. Except for those who are in the army and cannot come, today's meal can be considered a family reunion.
During the meal, Grandma He and Grandma Shen kept praising He Wanqing, which instantly made He Wanqing, who was eating, look better.
She lowered her head and let her tears drip into the food, but she said nothing because she felt ashamed of the praise from the four old people.
"Indeed, if it weren't for Wanqing's insistence that year, Wanyi and the other two wouldn't have come to Nanshi. If they hadn't come, there wouldn't be any extra work for Jiamin and the others to come.
If Jiamin and his family don't come, even if we have money, we won't come with our whole family.
So, Wanqing, your aunt must be very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, we would still be hibernating at home preparing for spring sowing. ”
"Yes, if we were to say who we should be most grateful for our good life now, it would be none other than Wanqing.
Second Aunt Wanqing also thanks you, thank you for bringing our whole family away from our hometown and settling down in the city. ”
"Thank you, Auntie. If it weren't for your decisiveness, we would still be busy preparing for the spring at home!"
.......
The thanks and praises from her family members made He Wanqing unable to eat, because she thought of the many graves of her family members in her previous life.
She swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty and forced back her tears. She raised her head and shook her head with a bright smile:
"Grandma... Fifth sister-in-law, please don't say that. We are a family and we should help each other.
And if we really have to say thank you, I think the people we should thank the most are He Cao and Xu Weijun.
If they hadn't been having an affair, I wouldn't have married Gu Cheng'an. If I hadn't married Gu Cheng'an, I would only be able to work in the brigade and earn work points.
Therefore, the people our two families should thank the most are this couple. "She also has to thank God for giving her a chance to start over, and even more so, thank He Cao for his careful planning.
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room nodded and started talking about He Cao and Xu Weijun.
In the past few years, the reputation of the Xu family in the village has been declining. Coupled with the things that the Xu Qiuhua sisters do from time to time, the Xu family has become famous in the area within a hundred miles.
Because all the men in the Xu family were useless, the last one Xu Weibing married ended up in divorce, and he was sent to a farm for reform by his wife's family. It is estimated that he will be middle-aged when he comes out.
As for He Cao who harmed her, it is not known whether Xu Weijun is still useful or what, but she has given birth to children every year in recent years and her belly is never empty.
She has given birth to four children so far, two of whom were born in 1970, one at the beginning and the other at the end. I heard that she is pregnant with another child, and she will probably give birth soon.
Moreover, the children all looked like members of the Xu family, so people in the village said all kinds of things about them. This also resulted in He Cao being beaten more often than she could eat.
Of course, because she went to work in the fields right after giving birth, people would believe He Cao when she said she was in her thirties. She has completely lost her former domineering attitude.
Because of the incident of hiding in the woods, the sisters Xu Xiahua and Xu Qiuhua could not get married. When they left, it was heard that the sisters had attacked the educated youth who had just arrived in the countryside.
Now the Xu family is just a pile of smelly, hard dog shit in the He family brigade, and people from several nearby brigades despise them.
Lunch ended with casual chatting. Not long after eating, He Wanqing hurriedly rushed to the compound with the triplets.
When I got home in the evening and finally lay down on the bed, it was already half past nine, almost ten o'clock.
Seeing the man who still wanted to exercise, He Wanqing kicked him away, rolled up the quilt, buried her head in it, and fell asleep, completely ignoring the desire in the man's eyes.
The next day of school, He Wanqing got up early, had breakfast, and after handing her three sons over to the kindergarten teacher, she hurried to Lianchang Junior High School.
On the way, I was thinking about the lesson plans I had prepared recently, while chatting with He Wanyi who was also nervous.
When the visitor arrived at the office, he found that some teachers had not arrived yet. He then breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not the last one on the first day.
The first day of school is always busy. It starts from the moment students enter the classroom. I collect tuition fees one by one and then arrange for them to clean the classroom.
After the classroom was cleaned, books were distributed to students who had paid, and then the students left school and the teacher started the meeting for the first day of school.
In the afternoon, the students started cleaning the school before even entering the classroom.
Those with big brooms sweep the playground, those with sickles cut weeds, those with shovels dig out grass roots, those with bags carry weeds, and those who have nothing are responsible for transporting garbage.
If they didn’t finish the work on the first day, they would continue working on it the next day. They would not start classes until the school was clean and free of weeds.
.......
Time flies. The busy years of 1972 and 1973 ended and 1974 arrived.
In the past two years, He Wanqing gave birth to a second set of quadruplets, namely the fourth child Gu Moyan, the fifth child Gu Mohe, the sixth child Gu Mobin and the only daughter Gu Zhiyao.
And because it was a multiple pregnancy, she took four months of maternity leave.
The hospital also successfully helped Gu's mother, who remained in the job, retire three months early. She was then called back by the military hospital and a military aunt was arranged to come to their home to take care of the children.
Chen Ping also gave birth to her second child, Su Jiang, in the same year, and her third daughter, Su Sheng, in 1973.
After marrying Shen Weiren, He Wanlin also gave birth to her third child, fulfilling her wish of having both a son and a daughter, and from then on she prepared to stop having children.
He Wanyi, who married a capable officer under He's father, also gave birth to her third child after He Wanlin gave birth to her third child, and also had a son and a daughter.
