At dawn, the shadows of the trees woke up to the rustling of clothes.

Chen Xi, who was dressing under the bed, paused and saw that his wife was dazed and seemed to be half awake.

Her dark hair spread on her shoulders, making her cheeks look even smaller and whiter. She looked at him obediently with hazy eyes. Chen Xi's eyes were soft. He touched her head and coaxed her softly: "Be good, it's still early, go back to sleep!"

Shuying woke up early yesterday and was taken to the village chief's house to put on her bridal makeup. She was busy all day long. After listening to the man's words, she subconsciously lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.

Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, fastened his belt, and walked out quietly.

When Yang's mother woke up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, she saw that her son-in-law had woken up early and had just finished washing up. She hurriedly asked, "Why did you wake up so early?" Yang's mother also asked what time the bus was.

"Mom, it's ten o'clock in the morning! Don't worry, it's not even six yet!" Chen Xi replied, and then said to Yang's mother, "Mom, I'll drive back to the county to send my parents to the station! My wife will wake up in a while, you can talk to her!"

"What? In-laws are coming back to Kyoto so soon?" Mother Yang was surprised.

"I have something to do in Kyoto, so I have to go back first. Mom, I'm leaving first!" Chen Xi said.

"Or I can heat up some food for you first so you can have breakfast before leaving!" Yang's mother said hurriedly.

"No need, mother!"

When Shuying woke up, everyone was awake. Her nephews were picking up scattered firecrackers in the small yard.

Seeing that the aunt was still there, Dahu and Erhu picked up a few firecrackers and ran over, grinning happily and saying, "Aunt, you didn't leave with your uncle?"

Shuying touched the heads of the two little guys. Thinking that they had to follow the army today, she really couldn't bear to leave her family and nephews and nieces.

"Do you like my aunt so much?" Shuying asked.

"I like my sister-in-law the most!" Dahu and Erhu shouted in unison, making the sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan, who had just come out of the kitchen, feel jealous.

Why!

Who asked my aunt to be nice to the children in this family? Last night, Xiaohu thought his little sister was going to leave that night, and he cried so sadly. He hasn't woken up yet.

"Sister-in-law!" Shuying greeted her and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Yang's mother was still heating up the meat dishes from last night and asked her to pack her luggage quickly.

"Mom, where is Chen Xi?" Shuying asked.

As soon as she asked, Yang's mother retorted: "Why are you calling your husband by his full name? You didn't even bother to see your parents-in-law off when they returned to Kyoto!"

Shuying was really surprised, and wondered why her man didn't tell her. She thought everyone was going to the station together today.

Seeing that her daughter knew nothing about this, Yang's mother thought that her in-laws probably sympathized with the fact that her daughter had just gotten married yesterday and her son-in-law loved her and didn't want her to get up early, so they didn't inform her.

Oh, her daughter really married into a lucky family.

After interacting with her in-laws these few days, Yang's mother also felt that her son-in-law's parents were not arrogant and were very easy to get along with. So she told her daughter to be filial to her parents-in-law in the future and urged her to have a baby as soon as possible.

The shadow of the tree that was born just after the marriage: "..."

"Mom, I'm going back to the house to pack my luggage!" said Shuying.

Mother Yang waved her hand and waited for them to go back to the house. Shuying first put away the newly bought iron pots and basins, and opened the small box. This small box was a dowry box that her father had specially made for her. It was filled with dowry items and clothes.

Seeing a lot of tickets and betrothal money inside, she counted them and thought, wow, there is still a hundred yuan left.

Needless to say, her parents not only gave her the one thousand yuan betrothal money intact, but also gave her an extra one hundred yuan.

How could a village girl's family possibly give so much money to marry off her daughter? A dowry of a dozen or so yuan was considered a lot.

Shuying didn't intend to take the hundred yuan from her mother. After she had packed most of her luggage, she went to the kitchen and stuffed the hundred yuan into Yang's mother's pocket.

Yang's mother said, "Why are you giving me money? The other fifty is from your mother's side. We just bought a bicycle and spent all our savings. Luckily, your father just got his salary, so we can only scrape together fifty yuan for your dowry!"

Shuying thought that the few silver dollars her father stuffed into her yesterday were worth a lot of money.

Seeing that her mother refused to accept the money, Shuying had no choice but to give a few industrial tickets to her mother's family, and also gave money to each of her nephews and nieces.

The two sisters-in-law hurriedly said, "My uncle-in-law stuffed red envelopes for the children at home yesterday!"

"He is him and I am me, we are different!" She couldn't go back to her parents' home since she was accompanying the army, so she just gave them a few red envelopes first.

Breakfast was ready, and Yang's mother immediately asked her daughter to eat first.

After breakfast, Shuying saw that she had some time, so she simply made a lot of egg cakes, either to give to her parents and nephews to taste or to eat on the way.

If Shuying had burned so many eggs on any other day, Yang's mother would have said something. She would have to join the army with her son-in-law soon, but Yang's mother didn't say anything.

To beat the egg whites, Shuying asked her brothers to do it.

Her four brothers are all strong. Because she had to leave in the morning, her father and several brothers took the morning off. So, they are at home this morning.

The four brothers of the Yang family were somewhat curious about what delicious food their little sister was going to make.

I wonder what will happen to the family’s meals after my younger sister leaves this morning!

The brothers were a little worried, especially the eldest brother Yang, who loved the braised eels and loaches made by his younger sister. He had been thinking about catching eels and loaches these days.

The second, third and fourth brothers of Yang like the pickled fish and chopped pepper fish made by my youngest sister the most.

My youngest sister got married last night, and we cooked fish and meat, but the food wasn’t as delicious as my youngest sister’s.

The only thing that made them feel fortunate was that their mother was not as stingy as before and was willing to add some oil.

While Shuying was cooking, several nephews and nieces also stood eagerly beside the stove in the kitchen. Xiaohu was very happy to see that Shuying had not left yet, and he hugged her calves eagerly.

Seeing that the Yang brothers took turns beating the egg whites and made the ordinary egg whites swell up into a white paste, not only the brothers stared with eyes wide open, but also the nephews and nieces.

While her brothers were beating the egg whites, Shuying had already filled the bowl with flour, oil and sugar.

The brothers who were older than sewing opened their eyes wide and thought it was a good thing that their mother was not here at the moment, otherwise they would have to hold their chests in pain again.

Needless to say, the brothers in the Yang family were very lucky that their younger sister married a military officer brother-in-law, who had a high salary. Otherwise, who could afford to support such a good sewer?

Shuying was not aware of her brothers' thoughts. After they helped her beat the egg whites, she mixed the batter with the beaten egg whites and put them in a pot to steam.

Half an hour later, a particularly fragrant smell of cake wafted from the kitchen. Father and Mother Yang, who were sitting in the main room talking, became a little impatient and hurriedly asked their daughter what she had done.

Several nephews and nieces have started to drool. Little Radishes are standing at the kitchen door, reluctant to leave. The four brothers of the Yang family also feel a little greedy after smelling the fragrance of the cake.

After steaming for nearly fifty minutes, Shuying put the big bowl on the chopping board and waited for it to cool down a bit before removing it from the mold. A large, authentic chicken cake came out of the oven.

Shuying cut the cake into two halves and asked her brothers to take one half to the main room for her parents, them, and several nephews to taste.

She cut the other half of the cake into small pieces, sealed them in a bag, and prepared to eat them on the train.

When the large fluffy slab of egg cake was placed on the table in the main room, all the members of the Yang family stared with wide eyes.

Mother Yang took a small piece and tasted it. It was fragrant, sweet and delicious.

Ouch!

Her daughter is really capable.

Mother Yang took a bite and immediately said to Father Yang: "Old man, try your daughter's cooking. This egg cake is so delicious and fragrant!"

Father Yang also tasted a small piece. It tasted really good, fragrant and sweet. Even though he didn't like sweet food very much, he thought it tasted especially good.

As soon as Yang's father and mother tasted it, Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, Da Ya and Er Ya couldn't wait any longer and started clamoring for more.

The Yang brothers were also drooling.

Yang's mother gave each person a piece, and then called her daughter from the kitchen to come and eat.

"Mom, you guys eat, I have some here!"

The freshly baked egg cake is really fragrant and delicious. There are not many delicious snacks in this era, but this egg cake is so delicious that it will make you swallow all the delicious food of Lao Yang's family.

The eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan and the third sister-in-law Wang Rong both think that the egg cake made by the younger sister is better than those bought from the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

Shuying put the cake away and the sound of a car came in.

Yang's father and mother immediately shouted, "My dear daughter, your son-in-law is probably here. Have you packed your luggage?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xi entered the main hall of Old Yang's house: "Dad, Mom!"

Yang's father and mother asked their son-in-law to eat egg cake. Chen Xi tasted a little and went into the house to see how his wife was packing her luggage.

Shuying had already packed his luggage. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Are mom and dad in the car? Why didn't you wake me up this morning?"

When her parents-in-law returned to Kyoto, she, as their daughter-in-law, had to see them off.

Chen Xi raised his thin lips and said, "My parents wouldn't let you do that. They said I made you too tired last night, so they let you sleep a little longer!"

The man spoke seriously, but Shuying heard something ambiguous. She blinked and was not sure if what the other person said was what she had in mind.

The man carried her luggage and took her out.

Just as Shuying and Chen Xi went out, Xiaohu, who had just eaten the cake, saw that his aunt was really going to leave with his uncle-in-law, and he burst into tears and reached out to hug Shuying.

Shuying wanted to hug someone, but the eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan picked her up and said, "Little sister, you and your brother-in-law should go first. This guy wants to cling to you and will definitely not let you go!"

See, Da Hu and Er Hu saw that their aunt was in a hurry to leave, and they couldn't care less, so they pushed Chen Xi away, holding onto the shadow of the tree, and were dragged back by the eldest brother of the Yang family.

Yang's father and mother also had red eyes. Mother Yang wiped her tears. Shuying's eyes also had red eyes and she was taken into Chen Xi's arms.

"Mom and Dad, we're leaving first!"

"Aunt, I don't want you to leave, waa wa..." Xiaohu's crying was getting louder and louder. Dahu and Erhu even pushed their father and were immediately taken back into the house by Yang's eldest brother and asked his wife to look after the children.

Da Ya and Er Ya also had red eyes and hugged Shu Ying and refused to leave. They were also taken back to the house by the third sister-in-law Wang Rong.

Father Yang's eyes were red at first, but he realized that his daughter was going to enjoy life with her son-in-law, not that she would not come back. Father Yang's mood improved a lot, and he said to Mother Yang who was wiping away her tears, "The daughter is just following her son-in-law to join the army, not that she will not come back? Why are you crying?"

Mother Yang thought that her daughter had grown up and had never left her, but the old man was right, it was not like the daughter would not come back.

The family sent the couple to the gate of the courtyard.

Shuying asked her brothers to take good care of her parents and write to her if they had any problems. She also asked her parents to take care of their health and her mother not to overwork herself. She also mentioned that she had left a bag of ginseng slices in their room so that they could use it to stew chicken for nourishment.

Father and Mother Yang were surprised by the ginseng slices and asked hurriedly, "My dear, where did you get the ginseng slices?"

When they learned that their young lady said she picked it accidentally on the mountain, the whole Yang family was stunned.

Shuying said to the eldest brother of the Yang family, "Brother, our parents are old, and chicken stewed with ginseng slices is more nutritious. Our old hen is quite fat, and it hasn't laid eggs recently. Let my two sisters-in-law help stew it someday!"

What?

Not only did he want to stew chicken with ginseng, but he also wanted to stew her old hen with bumps. Mother Yang was so frightened that she almost stumbled.

Yang's mother suddenly remembered that her daughter once stewed a chicken for the family and said it was so nutritious. Could it be stewed with ginseng?

Mother Yang asked this casually, and Shuying didn't think much about it. He nodded and said that the ginseng stewed chicken tasted especially good.

The Yang family was stunned. They had actually eaten ginseng stewed chicken?

Mother Yang held her chest in pain.

Her daughter's hands have grown so big that she really can't afford to support them. She also wants her daughter-in-law to stew her precious old hen with ginseng. Only her daughter can come up with this idea.

"Son-in-law, take your wife to the car quickly. I can't afford to raise this daughter-in-law, so I'll give her to you!" Mother Yang waved her hands and asked her son-in-law to take her to the car. If she let her daughter spend money at home, all the family assets of her Yang family would be squandered.

Shuying: “…” How come her mother changed so quickly?

After Chen Xi put the luggage in the car, he listened to the conversation between his wife and the family members, and the corners of his lips curled up.

After Shuying got in the car, Yang Erge said, "Little sister, I still haven't thanked you for what happened to my second brother!" He then said to Chen Xi, "Brother-in-law, be good to my little sister. If I knew you were not good to her, I would not be afraid of you even if you were a military officer!"

"Second brother, don't worry!" Chen Xi said solemnly.

When the military vehicle drove far away, Yang's mother went to see the ginseng slices left by her daughter and took a look at her old hen.

"Sister-in-law!" Liu Neng heard a familiar voice.

Shuying had just said goodbye to her family and didn't pay attention. Now she saw that it was Liu Neng who was driving the car, and there was a little girl in the back seat, being held by her husband.

Chen Yi buried herself listlessly in Chen Xi's arms.

After Shuying talked to Liu Neng for a few words, he said to the man beside him, "How about I hold you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yi immediately turned his head and turned his back to her.

Tree Shadow: “…”

An hour and a half later, while the three were talking, the car stopped outside the train station entrance.

The train station in Anping County was crowded. Chen Xi was carrying the child and the luggage, and Shu Ying followed beside him. After saying goodbye to Liu Neng, they looked at the train schedule and waited until the time was almost right before the three of them entered the station.

It was her first time riding a train of this era, and she was a little curious.

Chen Xi booked a sleeper berth. After finding a seat and putting down his luggage, Shu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll hold the child, you take a rest!" From then on, whenever the man went on a mission, he always asked her to take care of the child. Shuying took out a fragrant and sweet cake from her luggage to coax the child.
