The poplar trees by the roadside rustled in the wind, and the chirping of cicadas against the scorching sun was particularly annoying.
After waiting for a long time, Sunday finally came and Yuanyuan finally had a day off.
Early in the morning, Li's mother started calling Yuanyuan to get up quickly.
After the second brother Jiang You talked about marriage at the dinner table last time.
After repeated persuasion and consideration from her family, Li's mother decided that this marriage was worth considering.
So since the next day was Sunday and her daughter was on vacation, she waited another day, waiting to go back to her parents' home with her daughter.
You should know that your brother is the chef of a state-owned restaurant.
Even though it is a famine year now, we still have enough food and drink.
There are plenty of good things. If I go back to beg for money, I must bring my precious daughter with me.
Eat anything delicious at your mother's house, don't bring it back for these brats to see.
Everyone is thinking about getting married all day long, who cares about his mother and sister?
Early on Sunday morning, Yuanyuan wore a dress made of the fabric that her second brother brought back last time.
He happily rode his eldest brother's bicycle, carrying his mother to his grandmother's house.
Today is Sunday and those in the family who have work are all off.
Factories back then were very different from what they are today.
It's state-owned, so they go to work when they should and leave work when they should, without any fatigue.
It’s not like the busy Zilaijuaner nowadays, who can’t take a single day off in a month and has to work every time he has a holiday.
Jiang Yuan has been here for almost a week and wants to go for a stroll in different places.
It just so happens that I'm going to my grandma's house with Li's mother to play for a while today.
By the way, I was waiting for my mother and grandmother to discuss my second brother's marriage.
You can't just go to someone's house and tell them about this.
These days, a matchmaker is needed, but a marriage cannot take place without one.
Mother Li still planned to go to her mother's house to ask around.
Once you are sure it is really possible, then find a matchmaker to come to your house. Anyway, you can't just go to someone's house and say, "My son wants to date your daughter."
In those days, this was tantamount to hooliganism.
Jiang Yuan rode his bicycle, recalling the memories in his mind and recognized the road to his grandma's house.
Mother Li often took her little daughter back to her parents' home.
My mother's family lives a good life and my brother has a good job too.
The three daughters were married off early, leaving only their elderly mother and their own wife at home.
Three spacious tiled houses and a job that provides enough food and drink.
It is a good idea to take advantage of a good deal. Mother Li also wanted to help her parents digest the good things that they could not eat.
The two families are not close to each other, although they are both in Beijing.
But there is an East Ring Road and a West Ring Road, and the distance between them is still quite far.
Yuanyuan rode her bike for more than forty minutes, her legs were tired, and then she saw her grandma's house from a distance.
Mother Li walked through the streets, crossed the alleys, entered the hutong, and pushed open the door of her mother's house in one go.
As soon as the door was opened, Li's mother standing at the door immediately put on a new look, smiling and shouting loudly.
"Mom, big brother, I'm here to see you. I brought our Yuanyuan with me."
The voice was high and loud, and no bel canto musician could be as stunning as Li's mother's.
Yuanyuan looked at her mother in shock. It seemed that her mother was still keeping it at home.
With this voice at home, just one roar from him would have scared his second brother silly, so why would he need to use a feather duster?
Mother Li dragged Yuanyuan into the yard and returned to her parents' home empty-handed, not feeling uncomfortable at all.
An elderly woman's voice came from the main room, and her voice was equally high-pitched.
"Here it comes, oh my, it's the second one coming! Come in quickly, come in quickly! Mommy misses you so much!"
The voice had arrived, and although the person hadn't come out, the tone of the voice was still very welcoming.
A couple who looked very wealthy walked out of the west wing door.
Both men and women have a lot of weight, no wonder people say they have big heads and thick necks, and they are either rich men or cooks.
As soon as Yuanyuan saw them, she knew that they must be her uncle and aunt.
"Second sister is here, oh, you come here, why didn't you tell me in advance?
Yuanyuan, why are you here too? It's so hot, don't stay out in the sun. Come in quickly and let your uncle make you some sugar water."
Li Deyun, Yuanyuan's uncle, is a tall, strong and sturdy middle-aged man.
This general has a big belly. Who would believe him if he says he is not a cook?
This guy must have eaten a lot! During this era of national famine, to be able to eat like this, he must be a very powerful person.
Yuanyuan smiled softly and let her uncle pull her arm and welcome her into the main house.
Mother Li followed behind with a smile on her face. I wonder if it was Yuanyuan's illusion.
I always feel like my mother rolled her eyes at my aunt.
Of course, my aunt-in-law's expression wasn't too funny either, it looked very forced. It was truly a hypocritical relationship between an aunt and a sister-in-law.
Yuanyuan didn't care about that. Her little mouth was as sweet as honey, and she kept calling "uncle" and "grandma" as soon as she entered the door.
It made the two of them happy.
In the end, it was this hypocritical aunt who made the sugar water.
But it’s right that no one pays attention to her emotions.
"Qingyun, why haven't you come back for so long? The things Mom saved for you are almost spoiled. It's getting hot now, you have to come more often!"
The old lady was in her sixties and didn't look too strong. She was skinny and weighed only about seventy or eighty kilograms.
But his spirit is still good, and the sarcasm on his face can be seen in the blink of an eye.
He is okay with his own mother, but not so nice to his aunt.
