Grandma An has confirmed that some of the White Rabbit milk candy must have been stolen by the fourth child's family.
If she didn't think it was not easy for the eldest daughter to come back and she didn't want to talk to her more, would she have given the key to the fourth son's wife?
Thinking of those candies, she felt so sad.
I don’t want to bother with such a shameless person like her. “Hurry up and bring the water over.” Grandma An frowned.
Fan Chunmei didn't care about being scolded, because she had already made a profit.
An Jingzhi came over to help, "Grandma, let me help you carry the pastry plate."
Grandma An glanced at him and thought, this is also a little bastard.
"Bring it here." She was just watching right here, so she didn't have to worry about the little bastard stealing food.
However, she didn't expect that An Jingzhi didn't want to cheat on her, but just wanted to curry favor with An Jingmei.
Although An Jingzhi was raised to be fair and tender by the couple, he was still somewhat malnourished compared to real city children.
He was a small boy, holding a plate in his arms. Although it was not heavy, the stubborn and strong expression he deliberately showed made people feel distressed.
An Jingmei quickly took the plate from his hand and put it on the table, "If you can't carry it, don't do it. Be careful not to drop it."
An Jingzhi smiled with his teeth showing: "It's okay, it's not serious at all."
An Jingmei felt even more distressed when she saw this, and said to Grandma An who followed in, "Mom, you too. Jingzhi is still young, why should he carry things?"
Grandma An: “…”
Which rural nine-year-old boy would consider carrying a plate of pastries a heavy job?
The old lady's expression is hard to describe.
Every time she got involved with the fourth brother's family, she always felt aggrieved and simply skipped the topic.
The mother and daughter talked about An Jingmei's life at her husband's house, her work, and what happened at home.
She kept asking An Jingmei to eat more, but An Jingmei kept feeding An Jingzhi instead.
In the end, most of the pastries that were clearly brought out to entertain the eldest daughter ended up in the stomachs of An Jingzhi and Fan Chunmei.
When An Jingmei was sent away, it was almost time for dinner.
An Jingmei's journey back to town is not short, so she has to ride a bicycle to catch her afternoon class.
The old lady called An Laowu, who was working in the fields, back to send An Jingmei off.
By the way, when Lao Wu comes back, he can go to the commune to see his girlfriend and think about when it would be appropriate to propose marriage.
There was only one walnut cake left out of the three pieces on the plate. One of them was eaten by An Jingmei, and the other went into An Jingzhi's stomach.
An Jingzhi and Fan Chunmei had only two White Rabbit milk candies left, but there were still a lot of dried sweet potatoes left.
Grandma An ignored the mother and son who were staring at the plates and put the remaining things back into the cupboard.
After dinner, she gritted her teeth and distributed all the peach cakes in the cupboard to the other children, except for the fourth child's family.
The fourth child's family has been secretly eaten twice, and the others are also her grandchildren.
Even An Guochang got half a walnut cake.
…
After the date was set, Chu Yongping's mother was still a little worried.
"Are you really sure? Is it him? Mom told you that for a woman, marriage is a lifelong thing."
Chu Yongping thought about going to An Guochang's house and smiled, "Mom, I'm sure he's the one for me in this life."
"He is a kind and good-tempered person, and he is also the scorekeeper of the team."
"His family doesn't have much of a burden. His sister is a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative, his second brother can earn work points on the land, and his third brother is also in the army."
"His sisters-in-law are also easy to get along with, and his mother doesn't seem like someone who would be harsh on her daughter-in-law."
"Mom, I've really thought it through."
Chu Yongping's mother sighed and said earnestly:
"I'm not dissatisfied with him, but his family's financial situation is what I'm talking about. If you get married, you'll have to run back and forth between the commune and the village. You won't be able to go home for dinner after work like you do now. I'm worried that it's too hard for you."
"You only talk about how good his family is. Why don't you think about the situation of his fourth brother's family? They haven't split up yet. In the future, you will also have a share of what his fourth brother's family eats and uses."
Chu Yongping smiled and said, "Mom, what does it matter? Although his fourth brother's family is relatively lazy, they are not doing nothing. Besides, aren't his parents still around? How much advantage can he take from us?"
"Besides, Guochang has already told me that from now on I only need to give half of my salary to my family for food expenses, and I can keep the rest for myself."
Chu Yongping's mother was silent for a moment. "Okay, I've told you everything I need to say. Now that you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further."
"Just know that this will always be your home."
After the parents of both sides met, they chose an auspicious date and the wedding day came in the blink of an eye.
In that special era, everything was kept simple. The bride and groom wore military green clothes that were quite characteristic of the era to take wedding photos, and they also treated the villagers to a meal. After getting the marriage certificate, the wedding was considered complete.
All the sons in the family have found a place to stay except the third son who is serving in the army.
The old lady asked An Laowu and An Jingzhi to take turns writing letters about the family affairs and send them to the army where An Laosan was.
It was already after the New Year when An Guohua received the letter.
An Guohua served as a soldier for several years, but due to his cultural background, he could only be a platoon leader of medium rank in the army.
If she got married, her partner wouldn't be able to follow the army and would have to remain a widow, so An Guohua always wanted to wait until she could become an officer who could follow the army before getting married.
But he has become somewhat discouraged in recent years.
No matter how talented he is, if he can't pass the cultural test, he will never be promoted.
