After being transferred to civilian work in the south after liberation, Zheng Mulan also brought her child with her and was assigned to the Municipal Women's Federation.
The couple worked hard in Xinshi for more than ten years with their child. Yu Jiefang rose from deputy director of a branch bureau to director of the general bureau, and she rose from a junior staff member of the Women's Federation to director of the Women's Federation.
Over the past ten years, the eldest son has followed in his father's footsteps, but he has surpassed his father by getting into a military academy and joining the army.
The second and third children were a bit less successful, only getting into junior colleges, but that's still not bad.
What surprised her the most was her fourth son. The fourth son, who was always climbing on the roof and causing trouble, actually got into Peking University, one of the top universities in the country. After starting university, he became more stable and matured quickly.
After university, the children all started their own families, except for the fourth child who is still in school.
The eldest son's wife lived in another city and went with him to his military post.
The second and third sons both married college graduates, have jobs, and come from well-off families; they were all born into cadre families.
Who wouldn't envy their family's life?
However, everyone in the family has a job and many things are inconvenient, such as when her daughter-in-law gave birth, no one in the family could manage.
Originally, it was her responsibility as the mother-in-law to take care of the children and pregnant women, but she simply couldn't leave her job.
Fortunately, the family wasn't short of money, so they found a trustworthy aunt who was short of money to help take care of the pregnant woman and the child.
My eldest daughter-in-law lives in another city. Since she gave birth, she can't go to my place, so I can only send her more money.
The second and third daughters-in-law hired people to take care of them during their postpartum period and with their babies until the children were two years old and started daycare.
But God saw that her life was going too smoothly, and her retribution came. No, her retribution came a long time ago, it just stopped for a few years.
Her retribution was her youngest son, Yu Qianhe, who was a brat who deserved to be beaten from a young age; he was the kind of person who would climb on the roof and tear off the tiles if he wasn't disciplined for three days.
He goes out to fight every day, exposes people's shortcomings, curses people by poking their hearts, and beats people. He relies on his three older brothers to beat people of all ages.
In those years in the military compound, every family member dreaded seeing him. He would go up the mountain to catch birds and down the river to catch fish; there wasn't a single day of peace for him.
Fortunately, Yu Jiefang was demobilized and kept a close eye on him. If he misbehaved, he would be disciplined. In addition, his eldest son, who was most protective of his children, went to the army, and his second and third sons went to university. Finally, he was beaten to behave a little.
But unexpectedly, it started again after he graduated from university. After all, he was already twenty years old when he graduated from university, and he still refused to get married at the age of twenty-two, while his three older brothers were already fathers at his age.
Her old friends all tried to introduce him to people, but he offended them all.
They complain that this isn't pretty enough, that's too rigid, that's too noisy, or that's too flashy.
Is this even human language? She was just waiting to see if he could find a fairy godmother, but he's been searching for four years and still hasn't found one. He's already twenty-four, and in a few more years she'll be a great-grandmother. Her youngest son still hasn't gotten married. He's her retribution.
When Zheng Mulan returned that day, she saw Luo Huaying.
Luo Huaying: "Old Zheng, congratulations! Your fourth son is truly a man of few words, but when he does speak, he's amazing! I'm just waiting to eat your wedding candy!"
Zheng Mulan was completely confused by these words. Was someone going to take care of the trouble in her family?
Although she didn't know what was going on, she didn't say much, waiting for her youngest son to come back so she could ask him.
As soon as Yu Qianhe returned that evening, Zheng Mulan went over to him. She was extremely curious about what kind of angel her youngest son would find.
I just hope he doesn't end up with someone just like him, a weirdo.
Zheng Mulan: "Fourth brother, I heard you're dating someone? What does that girl do?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qianhe rubbed his nose. "I really don't know that. I think it's from Xin County?"
Zheng Mulan: ...She really didn't expect such an answer.
Seeing his mother's strange look, Yu Qianhe felt a little uncomfortable. "She's Aunt Luo's colleague. Alright, Mom, she hasn't agreed to marry you yet. It's not even close to happening. Once I win her over, I'll ask you to help me propose."
Hearing this, Zheng Mulan raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected this outcome, but it was normal. Over the years, countless young girls had tried to win him over, but none of them had succeeded. He would definitely find one that he could pursue.
Zheng Mulan was quite confident in her youngest son's abilities and believed that results would come soon. All she had to do was prepare things for his wedding.
Sure enough, he took the girl home not long after, which was quite nice.
Although her family background was not as good as her other three daughters-in-law's, her family was still doing alright, as they were all factory workers.
She is quite pretty, and speaks gently, but I wonder if she can keep that brat in check.
Anyway, nowadays, the family doesn't need the daughter-in-law's family to be particularly outstanding, which is fine, and the family doesn't have any burden.
Furthermore, her family was reasonable; she treated all four sons equally, giving them all a dowry of 600 yuan. However, she didn't expect that the other family would do the same, asking for the same dowry for both daughters, without asking for more.
Although the dowry wasn't as much as the second and third sons' wives, it was still quite a lot.
They both seem like reasonable people, but they've become unreliable right after getting married.
Yu Qian brought his mother-in-law's chickens back with him when he returned to his wife's family home! Can anyone do something like that?
But her daughter-in-law didn't see anything wrong with it at all, and was happily directing Yu Qian to boil water and kill chickens!
After Yu Qian boiled the water, he looked at her. That's right, every man in the Yu family is a master in the kitchen, except for this one who can't do anything but grill. She can only grill because she's been eating too much outside.
Zheng Mulan felt a little dizzy. It's true that birds of a feather flock together; you can't expect two kinds of people to sleep in the same bed.
