Su Xia guessed that Niu Niu, Da Bao, and Er Bao weren't eating well, but so what?
She was practically suffocating, having been confined to her home in the county town by two unruly kids for two whole days.
Every day involves taking care of the children, doing housework, and cooking...
Hmph... Now we're finally free! Let whoever wants to do it do it, she just needs to rest!
"Mom, when is Dad coming back!" They ate early because the two little ones were crying that they were hungry.
After finishing a large bowl of food, Chen's mother wiped her grandchildren's mouths. Upon hearing this, she glanced at the remaining food.
"Put the rest in the big bowl and wait for your father to come home. Don't come over again!"
"Okay... what's going on in Niang Village lately?" Su Xia asked curiously.
"Mother Chen" said, "It's nothing. I heard there are tractors upstairs. Da Lin's team leader applied for one, and now they've chosen two people to learn how to drive one..."
"In ten days, the autumn harvest will begin. With tractors now available, the village will be even busier. During this time, they're repairing roads. The road leading to the village is for the village's corn..."
Su Xia finally understood, rolling her eyes. "No wonder it was so loud, all that 'putt-putt' sound!"
"Put-put..." Xiao Bao's eyes lit up, and he started to imitate it.
The little girl didn't seem to care; she just wrinkled her nose, clearly annoyed by the noise.
Chen's mother chuckled, "Your father has never seen one before, and he still hasn't had enough of looking at it. Sometimes he even sits on it..."
"Who was driving?"
"One is Zhao Licheng, and his father is Zhao Dasheng..."
"It's him! Isn't he the one who slaughters pigs for us?" Su Xia exclaimed in surprise.
Chen's mother also exclaimed, "Indeed, I can't believe that child is already 17!"
"And there's one more thing you'd never guess?" Chen's mother had a look on her face that said, "You'd never guess."
Su Xia's curiosity grew, "Mother, tell me...!"
The coquettish tone of the voice charmed Chen's mother, who immediately exclaimed, "Zhao Gou Dan!"
Su Xia was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened. "Su Lanxiu's son?"
Chen's mother nodded. "Didn't expect that, did you?"
Su Xia shook her head. Her memory of that child was from when he was little, when he was beaten by Da Ya for stealing food from his grandmother, and his nose bled.
Then I heard Chen's mother say, "That child is good, but he's unlucky to have such a mother..."
Why......"
"Mother, from what you're saying, it seems you quite like Zhao Gou Dan?"
Mother Chen shook her head. "Before Da Ya got married, Su Lanxiu came twice, but the second son and his wife chased her away both times. Later, they even had a fight while going to school... sigh..."
"Can you really say we're not meant to be...!"
Su Xia was surprised, she didn't expect that there was such a thing, she really didn't know, she remembered the letter and things that Daya sent last month.
......
The image of Zhao Gou Dan flashed through her mind, and she quickly shook her head. A farmer, a sophisticated young woman...
Don't even mention the "뎃代" (뎃代), "늀" (늀) means later generations, it doesn't fit either!
After Su Xia and Chen's mother finished chatting, the two children ate their fill and went back to sleep.
Su Xia was happy to relax. It was indeed better to be in the village. It was spacious and she could play around as she pleased. Safety was all taken care of by the villagers.
A tractor chugs along beside a vast field of golden corn in the southwest of the village...
The sound reached everyone's ears clearly, but everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
"Captain, this big guy is amazing!"
The captain said proudly, "Of course! Don't you know how much money that costs?"
"Absolutely! Just thinking about all that money going to be burned hurts!" said the former captain.
Zhao Erlin was speechless. "Dad, should we continue with the cow?"
"Get lost, it's not just nagging...!"
Ha ha.....
"Geju, we're all getting old. Let's leave the village to the younger generation!"
"That's right... It's so difficult to even get off the cart in two days!" This was Uncle Zhao Er, who drove the oxcart, but he hadn't been there for two whole days.
The job of driving the oxcart was handed over to someone else in the village long ago!
"Alright, that's enough. If the village is to get better and better, then we old folks can enjoy some happiness!" an old man said irritably.
The others instantly forgot their troubles and looked at the tractor that Kim was working on.
A man next to Chen Jiandang in the crowd teased him, "Jiandang, look at Gou Dan, he's really full of vigor...!"
It sounded like he was just watching a show! Chen Jiandang glanced at him but didn't give any reaction.
The traitorous Chen Jianjun was preoccupied with the recent departure of Er Ya and paid no attention to anything else.
The visitor was dissatisfied and continued muttering, "If you had agreed to Daya and Gou Dan's relationship, you wouldn't be so far away now, unable to come back...!"
Chen Jiandang's face darkened instantly, but the man seemed not to have noticed. "Now Gou Dan is suddenly in high demand; matchmakers are practically swarming her door..."
Stains.....
"If that's so great, why don't you send your own daughter there?" Chen Jiandang said sarcastically.
The man's expression turned cold, and he hesitated, unable to look at her directly, but still managed to come up with what he considered a perfect excuse: "My daughter is already engaged, otherwise..."
"Hmph—stop talking nonsense! It's not that I'm afraid of Su Lanxiu, that formidable mother-in-law!"
The man immediately shut up. With Su Lanxiu as his mother-in-law, no family that dotes on their daughters would want to arrange a marriage.
When Chen's father saw that his second son had told the others to leave, he immediately lost his desire to watch the commotion and called his second and third sons back home.
"Let's go, I'm hungry!"
Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun followed behind, "Second Brother, has Sanya written yet?"
Chen Jiandang was speechless. "Er Ya and San Ya left together, how could San Ya write a letter alone?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianjun slapped himself in frustration, "I was so angry I lost my temper!"
Then she complained, "Second brother, we work so hard to send them to school, how come they've become so bold?"
"Sigh...who knows, your second sister-in-law is cursing at home, I wonder if Sanya's ears are itching to hear it?"
"My husband was the same way. He wanted Er Ya to marry into a good family like Da Ya, but unexpectedly..."
"Ugh... what's going on here?"
"What are you muttering about? Why are you walking so slowly?" Mr. Chen shouted.
The two brothers immediately quickened their pace. "Dad, I was telling the third brother where Er Ya and San Ya are!"
"Dad, do you think girls are more daring because they're well-educated?"
"Bullshit, that's your daughter, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mr. Chen glared at them.
He was also very happy that his two granddaughters had joined the army.
Whether it's a boy or a girl, they're all descendants of the Chen family. Even if they die in the future, they can still stand tall and proud in front of their ancestors.
Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun exchanged a glance. "Dad, do you agree to them joining the army?" Chen Jianjun asked suspiciously.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen didn't hide anything, "Of course! Joining the army is great, Er Ya and San Ya will bring honor to our Chen family!"
"It's not like I'm a father... It's too dangerous for a girl to join the army!" Chen Jiandang was dissatisfied!
"Get lost! These days, there aren't that many battles in the military!"
"But....."
"But what? Hurry home and see if your wives have gotten up yet?"
"Second brother, if things get out of hand, it's your sister-in-law's fault!"
"You bastard, why is she my wife?"
"Has your second sister-in-law not been in many fights?"
"Bullshit! Your wife is wicked; she'll do bad things behind your back...!"
Father Chen carried the child on his back, humming a tune as he walked ahead, while the second and third children...
I'll just eat salty radish and do bland things, anyway, I'm not going to die...
Chen Jiandang, Chen Jianjun... you really are a father!
