At the educated youth site, Chen Wei has been living quite well recently because of all the good tickets Cao Rou gave her. However, the educated youth have to work in the fields every day, and it is the busy farming season recently. How can Chen Wei, who is brought up with a delicate personality, bear it?
Even with the help of male comrades and educated youth, Chen Wei still felt extremely tired and was extremely disgusted with this kind of life.
When she returned, she heard Tian Lanhua proudly showing off to others in the house that her brother-in-law was the deputy regiment commander, and said that she knew the wife of a regiment commander, and when they got to know each other well, she would ask her to find a good match for her in the military region.
The female educated youth in the educated youth center were extremely envious after hearing what Tian Lanhua said, and some of them even wanted her help to introduce them to a good partner.
Nowadays, being a soldier is very popular and gets paid.
It just so happened that there was a female comrade in the educated youth site who couldn't stand the hard work and married a male comrade in the village. Her life didn't get much better and she lived a miserable life.
The village is poor, and the female educated youth in the educated youth center don't want to find someone from the village, so several female comrades are eager to ask Tian Lanhua to introduce them to a good partner.
But Tian Lanhua was also smart. She couldn't even take care of such a good thing for herself, so how could she take care of others? Her words sounded nice.
Chen Wei also felt that being an educated youth was too hard and tiring, but she had never planned to get married. The village was too poor, and she looked down on the male educated youth.
She couldn't go back to the city, and she didn't dare to call her cousin. After hearing what Tian Lanhua said, she had some ideas in her mind.
At the Lu family, Captain Lu had just returned from training when he heard his wife telling their children to play more with Chen Yi.
Captain Lu didn't think much about it. He just thought that his wife wanted to repair her relationship with the Chen family because of him, and he had no objection.
If his wife had been so sensible earlier, would his deputy regiment commander have been given to Battalion Commander Wang?
Battalion Commander Lu felt very unhappy when he thought that Captain Wang was now Deputy Regiment Commander Wang.
Cao Rou also knew that her husband blamed her when the family of three was having dinner.
Her husband just focused on eating and ignored her. Cao Rou felt very aggrieved and wanted to tell her husband immediately that she had hooked up with the commander's family. She wanted to have a good relationship with Chen Wei so that she could definitely help him in the future.
But this matter has not yet come to light, so Cao Rou doesn't dare to say much, for she is also afraid that her man will hate her even more if he knows Chen Tuan's identity.
Cao Rou now only regrets how Yang Shuying got pregnant. If she breaks up with Chen Tuan, she will ask Chen Wei to introduce her cousin to Chen Tuan so that she can get in touch with the commander's family.
It's a pity that she can only think about it.
She wouldn't dare to do something like ruining a military marriage.
At the Chen family, Shuying was relieved after reminding Sister Ye, but whether Sister Ye believed it or not was her business.
She had a good impression of Sister Ye and the eldest brother of the Ye family, and hoped that the eldest brother of the Ye family would live a good life in the future.
In the evening, Fang's mother next door sent a bunch of pickled beans to her family.
Fang's mother has not forgotten that her two children ate the two eggs from the Chen family last time, and that the Chen family's children often took her baby to play.
Since joining the army, Xiaobao's shy personality has become much more lively, and Fang's mother is very grateful.
Knowing that Chen Tuan's wife liked sour food after she became pregnant, Fang's mother sent her a handful of freshly pickled sour beans and insisted that she accept it.
"The young wife of the Chen family is not worth anything!"
Shuying didn't want to accept it at first, but if she did, what would she do if Xia Lina came to her again to ask for the return of the things?
However, Fang's mother insisted that she accept it, so Shuying accepted it and thanked Fang's mother.
Before leaving, Fang's mother took a look at the complexion of the Chen family's young daughter-in-law. She looked extremely good. Then she thought about the complexion of her own daughter-in-law. There was simply no comparison.
After Xia Lina became pregnant, Fang's mother took good care of her. Unfortunately, her daughter-in-law was not a kind-hearted person and was always making trouble, often quarreling with the youngest child.
Chen Tuan is luckier than the youngest son in her family, as he found such a good wife.
Fang's mother sighed and regretted that she had not found a good wife for her youngest son in the village.
As soon as Fang's mother left, Shuying closed the gate and prepared to cook.
She had just made sweet and sour pork ribs and snails. She originally wanted to make vegetables for another dish, but after thinking about it, she simply made the sour beans that Fang's mother sent her.
The stir-fried sour beans with minced meat was ready. She took a few bites and thought it was especially good. In addition to the minced meat, she also added some dried chilies to the sour beans. It was sour and spicy and tasted especially good with rice.
When Shuying was tasting the food, Chen Yi had just run back from Gao's house. It was hot, and he was sweating all over, with his little face flushed.
Chen Yi smelled the aroma of the food at home and felt hungry. She ran to the kitchen stove and stood on tiptoe to ask, "Auntie, it smells so good. What did we cook?"
Shuying fed Chen Yi a piece of his favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Chen Yi finished it in no time. The meat was tender and boneless, and it tasted especially sour and sweet.
Chen Yi ate one piece and wanted another one, so Shuying picked up another piece for him.
Chen Yi didn't eat the ribs. He ran to the yard and gave the ribs to Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan came to Chen's house a long time ago, but he was too embarrassed to follow them to the kitchen. However, he could smell the fragrance of rice from Aunt Yang's house. Gao Yuan didn't want to be too jealous or greedy, because he knew that Aunt Yang must have prepared another meal for the eldest brother.
Gao Yuan was one year older, and with Mrs. Gao's constant instructions, he had become much more sensible. Gao Yuan was thinking of saying hello to the eldest brother and then going back, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother gave him a piece of pork ribs.
"The spareribs made by my aunt are so delicious! Let me give you a try! But there is only this one piece, no more, my brother wants to eat the rest!" said Chen Yi.
Gao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, took it with his hand, and opened his mouth to take a bite. Gao Yuan wolfed down the sour, sweet and boneless sweet and sour pork ribs with his eyes wide open. He hadn't eaten Aunt Yang's cooking for a long time.
The meat cooked by Aunt Yang is really delicious.
A piece of spareribs was quickly finished, but Gao Yuan was still not satisfied and kept licking his fingers.
When the shadow of the tree came out, he saw Gao Yuan licking his fingers. He knew that the piece of pork ribs that his child had just given to Gao Yuan must have been eaten by him.
"Auntie Yang! Boss, I'm going home!" Knowing that the boss was going to have dinner, Gao Yuan also prepared to run away.
Shuying called out to everyone and gave Gao Yuan a piece of pork ribs before letting him go back.
On the way back, Gao Yuan told his two brothers with a proud look on his face that he had just eaten meat, and it was pork ribs.
Gao Zhi and Gao Xiang also like to eat meat. For a long time, their family has only eaten vegetables and salted dishes. The two brothers were a little greedy after hearing what their younger brother said, so they asked him where the meat came from.
"Aunt Yang and the eldest brother gave it to me. The ribs made by Aunt Yang are really fragrant and delicious." Gao Yuan was still greedy at the moment, but he was very satisfied when he just ate the meat.
Compared with the jealousy of the second brother Gao Xiang, Gao Zhi asked his younger brother to go to Aunt Yang's house less often during meal times, as meat is not cheap.
In the evening, when the Gao family was having dinner, Gao Yuan proudly told Gao Tuan that he had just eaten pork ribs.
He said that Aunt Yang and the eldest brother gave him some spare ribs to taste.
Mrs. Gao was angry that this boy went to Yang's house to take advantage of her again, but Gao Tuan laughed out loud after hearing what his boy said and asked him, "Are the ribs delicious?"
"It's delicious! The ribs made by Aunt Yang are much better than the ones we make at home!" Gao Yuan said.
Mrs. Gao was angry that the boy went to Yang's house to take advantage again, but Gao Tuan laughed even more after hearing what his boy said.
In fact, Gao Tuan had just smelled the delicious aroma of food coming from the Chen family next door. He was wondering what delicious dish Chen Tuan had prepared again. It turned out that his brother and sister-in-law had made sweet and sour pork ribs.
Chen Tuan is so lucky.
He had tasted his brother and sister-in-law's cooking, and Gao Tuan couldn't help but feel greedy. While the children were chattering, he asked his wife to buy some ribs whenever she wanted.
Mrs. Gao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing that her husband was really greedy and the boys wanted to eat meat, and thinking that she hadn't bought meat for more than a month, Mrs. Gao didn't refuse this time and agreed.
There was laughter and joy at the Gao family's table, and the same was true at the Chen family's table.
The dishes that Shuying cooked today were especially loved by her husband and children.
The two, one big and one small, were concentrating on their meal, and Shuying felt satisfied.
Of the three dishes, she prefers the minced meat and sour beans, which are sour and spicy and especially delicious.
Chen Xi was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat something too spicy, so he kept giving her some ribs so that she would eat less spicy food.
Having said that, he himself also thinks that the sour and spicy pickled beans go well with rice, and Chen Xi particularly likes them.
The speed of picking up chopsticks has increased a lot.
Chen Yi prefers sweet and sour spare ribs and snails.
The snail soup was very big and tasted very good. Chen Yi was sweating profusely and buried his face in the bowl. He kept saying to her: "Auntie, this is also delicious. Let's have it next time." Is it good yet?”
She rarely makes snails. She made it once last time and this is the second time. Since the child likes it so much, Shuying of course agreed.
Chen Yi smiled happily.
Before going to bed, Chen Xi held her in his arms and told her that she was pregnant and that he had already written a letter to tell his parents and parents-in-law in Kyoto.
However, he had to go on a mission in a while, and he was worried about her. After thinking it over, he decided to let his mother-in-law take care of her.
Wait until her mother finishes the summer harvest.
Shuying thought about it and realized that the summer harvest was almost over and her mother was free. She missed her mother a lot, so of course she agreed.
Hongyang Society, ever since Yang's mother learned that her daughter was pregnant, she has been in a very good mood. It just so happened that not only her daughter had good news, but the second and fourth sons' wives also had good news.
Under the scorching sun, when Yang's mother went to the field to harvest wheat, she felt full of energy and was in a particularly good mood.
The Yang family is now getting more and more prosperous, and many people in Hongyangshe Village are envious of them. For example, when Yang's mother was harvesting wheat in the field, people would greet her and talk to her from time to time, and most of them would ask her if she really had a daughter.
Ever since she received the letter informing her that her daughter was pregnant, Yang's mother went around the village telling the story, and everyone in the village knew about it.
Of course Yang's mother said yes.
"Oh, Guifang, you are such a lucky girl!" an old lady said enviously.
Listening to the envy of the villagers, Yang's mother blushed and told them about her own daughter who was pregnant and was sent to the army.
The old lady couldn't help asking, "It's a long way to go. Guifang, are you going? When are you going?"
When her daughter-in-law gets pregnant, where can she not go?
Besides, it was her son-in-law who asked her to go, so how could she not give him face? She said she would go after she finished her work in the fields.
The eldest brother of the Yang family and several of his sisters-in-law also pricked up their ears to listen.
After working in the fields for an entire afternoon harvesting wheat, Yang's mother and her friends finally returned home.
Look, the old lady who went to talk to Yang's mother in the afternoon was so envious when she saw the Yang family walking away.
I thought to myself that ever since the daughter of the Yang family married a military officer, the Yang family has been getting more and more prosperous. Baozhu has become a worker, and Guifang's sons have all become successful.
"Mom, are you really planning to go to my little sister's husband?" Yang's eldest brother asked hurriedly.
The eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan, the third sister-in-law Wang Rong, and the fourth sister-in-law Mu Qingqing all visited Yang's mother.
"How can I not go if my son-in-law asks me to?" Besides, she missed her young lady too.
The eldest brother of the Yang family and several sisters-in-law couldn't see that Mother Yang missed her younger sister.
Mother Yang also said that she planned to take Xiaohu with her when the time comes, and leave the housework to her daughters-in-law.
Of course the sisters-in-law had no objection.
On the way back, villagers greeted them from time to time.
Yang's mother is used to it. How can others not be jealous of her family's prosperity?
Mother Yang's face was full of smiles.
The eldest brother of the Yang family and several sisters-in-law were also in a good mood, especially the eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan and the third sister-in-law Wang Rong.
Now our family's life is getting better and better, and we can eat meat on the table from time to time.
When the two of them returned to their parents' home, their brothers and sisters-in-law were extremely jealous of their good fortune.
At the dinner table, waiting for Yang's father and others to come back.
Mother Yang told him that she was going to the army to look after her daughter in a few days.
No one else in the family had any objection, including Father Yang.
The fourth son's daughter was also pregnant. Mother Yang didn't want to be too partial, so she specifically asked the fourth son to take good care of his wife.
"Mom, I understand." Yang Jianzhang said hurriedly.
When Shuying received a letter from her mother, she said that the summer harvest was almost over, and she would bring Xiaohu over to look after her in a few days.
Shuying immediately remembered that in the original book, when her mother brought Xiaohu here, she got on the wrong station and Xiaohu got lost and had an accident.
She had thought that only her mother came alone, but now her mother brought Xiaohu with her, and Shuying was afraid that the plot in the book would happen again.
She quickly wrote a letter and asked her husband to send it back, saying that she was worried and asked her elder brother to send her mother and Xiaohu over.
When her mother arrived at the station that day, Chen Xi took special leave to pick her up.
Shuying felt uneasy because she didn't see anyone. Fortunately, in the evening, her husband drove her mother and Xiaohu home.
Since his mother and nephew were coming, Shuying had to prepare some delicious dishes, and he cooked a lot of delicious dishes in the evening.
There are braised yellow eel, fish, spicy and sour fried lotus root and a big pot of radish bone soup.
When Yang's mother saw the delicious dishes on the table, including fish and meat, with so many dishes, why did her daughter's hands become bigger than before?
"Aunt!" Xiaohu was extremely excited when he first saw his aunt, but soon, when he saw the delicious food on the table, his eyes almost popped out.
Why did his aunt cook so many dishes?
Xiaohu and Chen Yi are not much different in age. Shuying asked Chen Yi to call her mother and let the two children go to the yard to play.
While her husband was putting away her mother's luggage, Shuying saw her mother's expression and knew that she must be dissatisfied with her big hands. She wanted to laugh and said hurriedly, "Mom, you rarely come here, so I cook some good dishes. If you were not here, I would cook vegetables every day!"
It happened that Chen Xi went out to get his luggage. When he heard what his wife said, he chuckled.
Mother Yang was half-believing and half-doubting, but she immediately complained that her son-in-law had to cook vegetables for him every day.
Her mother treats her husband as her own son and treats him better than she does her. Shuying is a little jealous.
It was just dinner time, so Shuying asked her mother to wash her face and change into clean clothes before having dinner.
During dinner, Yang's mother looked at her daughter. How come she hadn't seen her for a while and was taken care of so well by her son-in-law? How come her face was so white?
Yang's mother was not well educated and couldn't put it into words, but she just felt that her daughter had become much whiter and more beautiful.
Mother Yang did not think much about it. She just thought that the climate and soil here were good for people and that her son-in-law was good to her daughter. Seeing that she looked well and had a fair and tender face, Mother Yang felt relieved.
Mother Yang just complained that her daughter's hand stitches were too big, but when she really tasted the food she cooked, she found it was delicious and Mother Yang had nothing to complain about.
It’s no wonder that after her daughter and son-in-law joined the army, her husband and Jianguo were all thinking about the dishes cooked by their daughter.
Even Yang's mother was not used to the food she cooked at first, but she got used to it later.
Even Yang's mother thinks Shuying's cooking is delicious, let alone Xiaohu.
When Xiaohu ate the food made by his aunt again, his eyes were filled with tears and he devoured the food ravenously.
Chen Yi looked at Xiaohu with sympathy, thinking that he had never eaten any good food.
Shuying was just about to serve her mother a bowl of radish and bone soup, but Chen Xi had already served his mother-in-law a bowl, which was mostly meat.
Then he served a bowl of pork bone soup to his wife and two children.
At the dinner table, Yang's mother saw that her son-in-law was particularly considerate to his daughter, and he would put delicious dishes into her bowl from time to time. She felt relieved that the young couple had a good relationship.
While eating, Yang's mother looked at Chen Yi again.
The child had changed greatly from the first time she had seen him.
Before, he could hardly speak and his face was very thin. Now, his face is round.
He was good-looking, with deep features, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and was particularly likable. Mother Yang also liked good-looking children.
After the meal, Yang's mother wanted to help her daughter wash the dishes, but she didn't expect that her son-in-law had already easily prepared the dishes and was washing them.
Mother Yang hurriedly asked, "Girl, why do you let your son-in-law wash the dishes?"
Chen Yi was puzzled and asked, "Grandma, my uncle is the one who washes the dishes at home!"
"What?" Yang's mother suddenly asked loudly, scaring Chen Yi.
Shuying knew her mother would react like this, and hurriedly said, "Mom, I didn't force your son-in-law to wash the dishes, he just wanted to!"
She didn't like washing dishes at all, but she didn't want to be forced to do it when her mother was around, so she just told the truth.
Besides, after her husband washes the dishes, she still has to cook three meals a day.
Mother Yang didn't know what to say. Did her daughter fall into a blessed nest?
Shuying didn't want to talk to her mother about washing dishes anymore, so she went to the cupboard to get some White Rabbit candies and freshly made shaqima for the two children.
She hadn't seen Xiaohu for a long time and missed the child very much, so she pulled Xiaohu to her side. Chen Yi also didn't forget about him and pulled him to her side as well.
Xiaohu was feeling lethargic just now after sitting in the car for three days, but now he is in great spirits after having a good meal and having a playmate.
"Aunt, the food you cook is so delicious!"
Xiaohu missed his aunt very much. When his aunt was around, they had delicious meals at home from time to time. After his aunt and uncle joined the army, they also had meat to eat at home, but it was not as delicious as what his aunt cooked.
Xiaohu was too close to the tree shadow, and Chen Yi was unhappy and depressed. The White Rabbit milk candy and Sachima in her hands no longer tasted good.
Compared to Chen Yi, Xiaohu, who was eating shaqima for the first time, ate it with gusto. He especially loved the sweet and crispy shaqima.
At home, he thinks White Rabbit milk candy is delicious, not to mention the shaqima in his hand.
Shuying also gave her mother a piece of shaqima to taste. At first, Yang's mother thought her daughter was too good at spending money, but when she found out that this shaqima was made by her, she was surprised to find that it tasted really good.
Yang's mother likes to eat it very much.
