“That won’t work. You asked the Xu family for the sewing machine. If I marry you without it, they don’t know how to frame you, so I can’t return it.
As for the issue of the homestead, my uncle also asked about it just now. He asked whether we should build a house, live at home, or find an uninhabited house in the village and clean it up to live in temporarily.
I didn't answer you just now, so why don't you think about it. If you want to build it, the money is with you, so you can decide where to build it.
It's fine if you stay at home. I can't stay there for too long anyway, and I'd be worried about you being alone when you return to the army.
Of course, if you don’t want to live at home or build a new house, that’s fine too. You can just find an unoccupied house in the village and improve it. I can do that anyway.”
Any sentence would do, summarizing the fact that he would not stay for long, and also telling her to make her own decision.
Looking at Gu Chengan with curved eyebrows, He Wanqing nodded: "I understand, I will think about it carefully, you go to work!"
She saw what he had just done, and looking up at the slightly slanting sun in the sky, she realized that it was time to go to work, so she immediately urged him to leave.
"I'm leaving. It's hot in the afternoon. You should rest at home!" Gu Cheng'an said after taking a look at the dried wild vegetables in the basket. After seeing her nod, he smiled and left.
He still didn't go through the main door. He took a running start and climbed over the wall in Uncle He's backyard again.
He Wanqing, who was following behind him, watched him leave and was about to turn around and go home to process the wild vegetables when she was stopped by two laughs.
"Second sister, look at how my eldest brother-in-law looked just now. Isn't he handsome?"
"Handsome, much more handsome than Xu Weijun."
"Indeed." Not only the two of them felt this way, but the entire He family, including the Shen family, felt this way.
Now they are very glad that He Cao and Xu Weijun are together, otherwise He Wanqing would never have met such a good person.
"Aren't you two going to work in the fields this afternoon?" He turned around and looked at his two cousins helplessly.
Seeing that the smiles in the two people's eyes had not yet faded, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"No, I'll be at home making bread dumplings in the afternoon."
"Me too. I'll go to the bus company to buy some meat and we'll make dumplings at home tonight." He Wanlin said with a smile.
"Then I'll go cut some too."
Thinking about how busy she had been with spring planting recently, He Wanyi calculated her pocket money and the meat coupons at home. When she found that she had enough for a pound of meat, she decided to go and buy some to feed her family.
"Sister, are you going?" Seeing that she had been looking at the two of them without saying anything, He Wanlin couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Thinking of the basket of wild vegetables, He Wanqing nodded and said, "Go, it's just right for your aunt to nourish herself."
When they heard that she was also going to cut the meat, He Wanlin and He Wanyi looked at each other and told each other the method they had just thought of.
Hearing this, she did not refuse. After all, the families often ate together. Just yesterday they had a big pot meal.
It was only today that her grandmother announced that the spring planting was over and each family could eat their own food.
"Okay, I'll give you the meat coupons and money later. You two go buy the meat and I'll cut the vegetables at home."
"No need for two people to go, I can do it alone. Let my second sister knead more dough at home, so that there will be more fillings. We can make dumplings with the remaining dough."
Thinking of the buns she had in the morning, He Wanlin swallowed her saliva. She still wanted to eat.
"Got it. Then you go buy the meat and we'll cut the vegetables and make the noodles at home."
"good."
Just as the three of them had agreed and were preparing to act separately, He Jiakang came over with money and meat tickets.
"Third sister, this is our family's meat coupons and money, please help me bring some too.
you......"
Before he could finish, He Wanqing took the money from his hand and interrupted him:
"Got it. Bring your wild vegetables here later and we'll pack them together."
"I'm so sorry. I was going to say I'll pack it up after I get home from work." Scratching the back of his head, He Jiakang was too embarrassed to say it.
"It's okay. It's convenient anyway. Maybe we'll have a big pot dinner again in the evening. Okay, go to work!" After saying that, he turned around and went home.
Seeing this, He Jiakang quickly ran back home, and before He Wanyi and her partner got home, he scooped up a gourd of flour and handed it to them:
"Second sister, I'll make you some dough and some wild vegetables." After saying that, without giving her a chance to refuse, he took the hoe and ran away.
Looking at the flour and wild vegetables in her hands, He Wanyi turned to look at her cousin who had already returned to the yard. Just as she was about to step over, she was stopped by He Wanlin.
"Don't go. Since Ieyasu gave it to you, just take it. Otherwise, Aunt San will definitely be unhappy."
"Okay." Thinking of Aunt He San's appearance, He Wanyi nodded.
Then, one of the sisters went home to get money and wild vegetables, and the other went home to get noodles and wild vegetables.
He Wanqing, who had already returned home, took a quick look at the passbook and found five thousand yuan in it, then she flipped her hand and put it into the space.
Finally, it was the betrothal gift given to her by the Gu family.
I opened the little notebook and took a look. There was eleven thousand in total, and there was a piece of paper on it with the words "one in a million" written on it.
Looking at the four vigorous and powerful words, she knew that they should have been written by Gu Chengan’s father or grandfather.
Thinking that they did not dislike her and approved of her just by listening to Gu Chengan's words, she felt very warm in her heart and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
He opened another small box, and inside was a snow-white and translucent jade bracelet.
There was also a note on it: 'This is a gift for my granddaughter-in-law. I can't give it to her in person. Please forgive me.'
The handwriting is elegant and it is obvious that it was written by a woman. It should have been left behind by the late Grandma Gu before she passed away.
There was another box next to the box, and when it was opened, there was a gold bracelet.
The note on the side said it was a family heirloom given to the daughter-in-law. It should have been written by her future mother-in-law.
And under the box, there were two passbooks. When I opened the first one, it said 11,000 yuan, and there were four big words on the back: One in a million.
There were also a few small words written below the big words, detailing who gave them to her.
Just as she had guessed, this one out of a million was the only one released later by Gu's father.
The passbook below contains the salary that Gu Chengan paid back during his years of military service, a total of six thousand yuan.
Mother Gu meant that since Gu Cheng'an was married, the money he had previously placed with her should be given to her and kept by her as his wife.
Finally, there were various bills, including military food coupons for 100 jin, cloth coupons for 5 feet, meat coupons for 5 jin, sugar coupons for 10 jin, and cotton coupons for 20 jin.
There were ten tickets for various daily necessities. After counting, they were just enough to complete a small home.
Looking at these things, she was already moved, but she tilted her head back and forced back the tears.
It turns out this is what it feels like to be cherished by your in-laws!
very nice.
He reached out and stroked the written notes one by one, and finally put the things into the space, thinking about returning the gift in his mind.
When people are nice to her, she can't help but be appreciative.
He looked through the wall at the mountains behind, and immediately thought of a return gift.
She had discovered a lot of good things in the mountains that year, and she took this opportunity to bring them all back.
Then he turned around and went into the kitchen with a smile on his face.
