Mrs. Fang saw Fang Man biting her lips tightly, and then went to get another bowl of rice, and then she said slowly:
"Speaking of which, our Xiaoman is now twenty years old. It's time to find a husband for her."
"That's right. Xiaoman has grown up in the blink of an eye. She is pretty and a teacher at the military school. I have to pick a good boyfriend for her!"
Captain Fang has only one sister, Fang Man, and he loves her very much. When his sister grew up, he was thinking about finding a good husband for her.
Mrs. Fang smiled and said:
"Speaking of finding a husband for Xiaoman, I do have a good candidate...the one in front..." She was interrupted by her sister-in-law before she could finish her words.
When Fang Man heard that her sister-in-law wanted to marry her off, anger appeared on her pretty face. She glared at Sister-in-law Fang:
"I won't get married! I won't get married! This is our Fang family, when will it be your turn to make the decision? You are just an outsider! Do you have any shame? You still want to chase me away!
No way! "
Mrs. Fang, who was serving the dishes, dropped the spoon in her hand and smiled sarcastically:
"Yes, I know my identity. It is true that I am an outsider in your Fang family, but you also have to know your own identity and your own weight!
Xiao Lu has been married for several years and has a child with his wife. You, a grown-up girl, have nothing to do all day instead of teaching properly, and are just thinking about how to get in his way.
Don't you see that in the past, when you approached Xiao Lu and showed your courtesy, he never even looked at you! And yet you still shamelessly approached him!
Now that it comes to this, let your brother see who is more shameless between us!"
"How dare you call me shameless?"
Fang Man let Mrs. Fang point at her nose and scold her in the face. Her face turned red and white, her eyes suddenly widened, and she screamed and was about to rush over to hit Mrs. Fang.
At this time, Fang Dasao's son Xiao Mingming was hungry and ran into the house with small steps. Hearing this, he saw Fang Man's eyes were red and she was about to hit her mother, so he immediately opened his arms to block her:
"Bad aunt, don't bully my mom!"
Bad aunt!!!
When Fang Man heard that her own nephew would not help her, she became even more furious. Just as she was about to tear Xiao Mingming apart, Mrs. Fang immediately picked up the hot porridge on the table and poured it on Fang Man's head. In an instant, Fang Man's screams echoed throughout the Fang family courtyard.
All this happened too suddenly. Captain Fang, who had just picked up his bowl, stared at the scene blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Fang Man, with the hot porridge on her head, felt so painful and uncomfortable on her face that she couldn't bear it any longer. She sat down on the sofa and started crying:
"Brother! Look at how this evil woman treats me. You have to make the decision for me!"
"Your brother doesn't need to make the decision for you. I can go on my own!"
Mrs. Fang, with a calm expression, picked up the sobbing Xiao Mingming, looked coldly at the stunned Captain Fang, and gave him an ultimatum:
"Fang Jianshe, I have been married to your Fang family for ten years since I was eighteen. During these ten years, your mother has despised me, and your sister has looked down on me. She has set traps for me openly and secretly, deliberately making clothes dirty for me to wash. When I was pregnant, I did everything by myself at home. Just two days before I gave birth, in the middle of winter, your mother and your sister still made me wash clothes in cold water.
In the past, I could tolerate all this for Mingming's sake, but now I don't want to tolerate it anymore. I will only say these words to you once, so please listen to me carefully.
From now on, in this family, if Mingming and I are there, Fang Man cannot be there; if Fang Man is there, Mingming and I will not exist.
I'll give you a week to think it over carefully. If you want your sister, then we'll get divorced. If you want Mingming and me, then send Fang Man away!
Whether she is sent back to her hometown or married, in short, this family has me but not her!"
After saying this, Mrs. Fang carried Mingming back to the house to pack clothes.
Captain Fang had a complexion of pain on his face. He didn't know how much his wife had suffered over the years since she married him, nor did he know why his mother and sister did this. He only knew that if he didn't send his sister away, this family would be gone.
Fang Man, who was originally sitting on the sofa crying, looked at Mrs. Fang who was carrying a big bag and leaving without looking back, and then looked at her distraught brother. She suddenly panicked. She didn't want to leave, she still had to wait for Brother Lu to come back!
Fang Man rushed over and grabbed Captain Fang's hand:
"Brother, I won't leave. I won't leave! I'm your biological sister. You can't send me away!"
Battalion Commander Fang pulled Fang Man's hand away with a numb expression and said coldly:
"Is what your sister-in-law said earlier true?"
“........”
Fang Man, feeling guilty, stammered and was unable to speak. When Captain Fang saw her like this, his heart suddenly turned cold. He stood up and said coldly:
"Pack up your belongings tonight. I'll take you back home tomorrow morning. If you don't want to, just leave this home and fend for yourself."
After saying that, Captain Fang turned around and left, leaving Fang Man sitting on the sofa with a look of despair on her face.
Fang Man, with tears on her face, rolled her eyes a few times and bit her lip unwillingly. She had gone to great lengths to come to the military district from her hometown, and with the help of her brother's connections, she became a teacher in the military district's primary school.
Although the military area is a bit remote, she has food and drink, and gets paid every month. If she returns to her hometown in a remote and poor area, not only will she not get paid, but she will also have to work in the fields every day!
She doesn't want to go back to her hometown!
Fang Man gritted her teeth and decided that she must marry Brother Lu!
~
A hundred miles away, Lujia Village was peaceful and quiet. After entering June, with the approaching wheat harvest, Lujia Village entered into busy preparations. The team leader stood with his hands behind his back all day long, leading the village cadres to watch on the ridges of the fields, waiting for the wheat in the fields to mature, and then he would quickly lead the villagers to harvest the wheat.
It rains a lot in summer. The sky may be clear just a moment ago, but suddenly it becomes cloudy and starts to rain.
These days, the villagers of Lujia Village have been busy organizing farm tools, cleaning the wheat fields, and preparing corn seeds for the next crop. It can be said that this period is the busiest time of the year.
The days are long in summer. The clock in the main room of the Lu family has reached six o'clock. The sky outside is still blue. Grandma Jiang is still sitting on the mat laid out in the yard, busying herself. However, this time she is not busy taking off clothes, but preparing to sew clothes.
Two days ago, Grandma Jiang took Jiang Chunzao to wash and scrub at home every day, and they washed all the winter quilt covers, cotton padded jackets and other items at home.
At this moment, Grandma Jiang was holding a cotton blouse that had been washed so much that it turned pale. She looked left and right and saw that it had several patches on it. She sighed:
"This is the cotton jacket my son-in-law wears in winter. Look at how many patches are on it. The cuffs are worn out. It's not worth wearing anymore. Keep it to make insoles. You really don't care about your family."
After hearing her mother's reproach, Jiang Chunzao felt inexplicably guilty. Well, before she was reborn, wasn't she just not paying attention to anything?
But now it's different, she has turned over a new leaf and this year she promises to make a new and warm set of cotton shirts and pants for Lu Lin and the two kids.
The prerequisite was that she had to learn how to make clothes from her mother. Jiang Chunzao smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and humbly asked Grandma Jiang to learn how to make clothes. Grandma Jiang saw that her daughter sincerely wanted to learn, so she didn't say much and taught her how to make a cotton shirt step by step.
The mother and daughter taught and learned at the same time, and time passed by unknowingly. When Lu Lin brought the two children back from fishing outside, little Moli cried in a baby voice that she was hungry. Jiang Chunzao then realized belatedly that she had not yet made dinner.
Jiang Chunzao quickly jumped up from the mat, put on his shoes, washed his hands, and ran to the well in a hurry. Seeing this, Lu Lin, who was fetching water from the well to wash his face, hurriedly pulled his young wife to his side. The well was wet, and he was afraid that something might happen to his young wife.
Lu Lin had good intentions, but Jiang Chunzao not only did not appreciate it, but also grumbled coquettishly:
"Why are you pulling me? I need to get the beef from the well and make tomato beef noodles for my son."
Lu Lin raised his eyebrows:
"Tomato beef noodles?"
Yes, it was the beef and beef bones that I bought from the county town earlier. They were kept in a basket hanging in the well to keep cool.
Jiang Chunzao was about to go up and pull up the beef hanging in the well while mumbling. Seeing his young wife mumbling about going up, Lu Lin said softly:
"There is no hot water at home. You need hot water to make beef noodles. Go and boil some water first. I'll get the beef."
When Jiang Chunzao heard this, he thought that it would be a shame to not have hot water at home, so he hurried to the kitchen to boil water.
Mother Jiang had nothing to do, so she took her two grandchildren, Shitou and Xiao Moli, to the vegetable garden to pick tomatoes.
The tomatoes in the family garden were growing well. Not long after, Grandma Jiang came back with her two children, carrying a basket of red tomatoes, and said happily:
"The tomatoes in our garden are growing really well, bright red. I'll leave a few for Shitou and Jasmine to wash and eat later."
Jiang Chunzao came out of the stove after boiling water, took a look at the bright red tomatoes in her mother's basket, and said with a smile:
"There has been enough rain this year, so the vegetables in the garden are growing well."
After that, Jiang Chunzao selected four or five good tomatoes to make beef noodles. He washed the remaining tomatoes, cut them into slices like flowers, and placed them in a bowl. He sprinkled a handful of sugar on them. They tasted sweet and sandy. Jiang Chunzao squinted his eyes, handed each of the two children a small spoon, and said with a smile:
"Shitou, take your sister to the yard to eat."
Little Stone nodded, and took Little Jasmine with him. The two kids went to the yard to eat, hand in hand, holding their small bowls.
Lu Lin carried the beef from the yard into the kitchen. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a sweet taste in his mouth. His black eyes froze and he looked at Jiang Chunzao in confusion, who was smiling at him with chopsticks in hand.
Jiang Chunzao looked at Lu Lin's expression and said proudly:
"Are our tomatoes very sweet?"
Lu Lin looked at Jiang Chunzao who was squinting her eyes and smiling sweetly at him. His dark eyes deepened. He leaned over and pecked Jiang Chunzao's red lips lightly:
"Yeah, very sweet."
Jiang Chunzao: !!!
