Courtyard No. 9 - the home of Cui Xuezhi and Dong Dingbang.
The aunt who was buying groceries was Dong Dingbang's mother Wang Yue. At that time, Cui Xuezhi impulsively spent 500 yuan to buy a mink coat. Her lavish spending level directly made her future mother-in-law Wang Yue's heart full of alarm.
Because of this, Wang Yue was particularly worried that his money would be spent by Cui Xuezhi after his son got married, so she fell ill after the wedding.
When the day was set for him to return home, he was still too weak to get out of bed.
No one could force a sick old man to take a train for several days and nights to return to his hometown, so in the end only Dong Dingbang's younger brother Dong Mancang and his sister-in-law Wang Xiaochun boarded the train with their two children, and Wang Yue stayed behind.
Wang Yueqian had actually wanted to leave a grandson here. She'd made a point of checking out the military school, which was larger and more formal than the primary school in her hometown. There were even armed guards standing guard at the gate. Not to mention the teaching, that alone made it better than her hometown primary school.
But Cui Xuezhi was easy to control, and her aunt, who was the wife of a leader, was not easy to fool. Wang Yue was afraid of being exposed, so she had to give up the idea and stayed alone.
After all, her son Dingbang will have to rely on his uncle Cui Xuezhi's support in the future, so he can't offend him.
Out of respect for Cui Xuezhi's aunt and uncle, Wang Yue stayed in the base for half a year and fought with Cui Xuezhi openly and secretly for three hundred rounds, with both sides winning and losing.
Wang Yue went home carrying a basket of vegetables. As soon as she got home, she put on an apron and started cooking.
Cui Xuezhi lay in the bedroom, tossing and turning, feeling uncomfortable all over and nauseous. She couldn't hear the broadcast on the radio, so she kicked Dong Dingbang in annoyance and said she wanted to eat grapes.
Cui Xuezhi had just gotten pregnant, and Dong Dingbang had always obeyed her. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and said, "Wait, I'll go out and buy it for you."
Dong Dingbang's obedience and consideration made Cui Xuezhi feel a little relieved. "Try it, don't try anything too sour."
After saying that, he added sympathetically, "If the grocery store doesn't have grapes, you can buy some peaches."
"OK."
Dong Dingbang came out of the bedroom, putting on his coat as he walked out.
Wang Yue, who was cooking outside, grabbed him and asked knowingly, "Dingbang, where are you going?"
The walls of the room were not particularly soundproof, and Wang Yue could hear everything from outside.
Dong Dingbang said, "Mom, I'm going out for a while."
Wang Yue immediately said, "Don't go out, dinner will be served soon."
In the inner room, Cui Xuezhi coughed violently.
Dong Dingbang said, "I'm just going out to buy some things and will be back soon."
"Let's go after dinner." Wang Yue's smile remained unchanged, but her attitude remained firm: "I've already cooked the dishes. If you go out for a while, they will be cold by the time you come back."
"Oh well."
Dong Dingbang was filial because Wang Yue was a widow who raised him and rejected many marriage proposals over the past decade. Therefore, he respected Wang Yue very much and was willing to agree with what Wang Yue said as long as it was not excessive.
