Chapter 509: What a touching brotherhood!
Many people around her advised her that this was not a relationship.
The purpose of finding a man is to have someone who understands your well-being. Now we are so far apart, even if you are sick, you have to endure it by yourself.
Moreover, the two of them have been separated for a long time, and I am afraid that even the strongest feelings they have will fade.
You have to know that they only see each other once a year and are not together for a long time. Even if the man changes his mind, she will probably be kept in the dark.
Besides, she is not young anymore. When will this end for the two of them? We'll be separated sooner or later!
If they really got separated, it would be extremely difficult for her, a girl almost thirty years old, to find a good one!
Qin Qing has listened to all these gossips over the years, and it would be a lie to say that he never gave it any thought.
After all, being apart for a long time will inevitably make people feel anxious and worried.
However, she still believed in her own judgment and believed that Shen Yuanjun was not the kind of person who would abandon her after having fun with her.
In fact, Shen Yuanjun had mentioned marriage before, but sometimes the two of them didn’t see each other for a year.
To be honest, I’m afraid we don’t even have time to get a marriage certificate.
So, at the beginning of this year, after her old injury recurred, she considered changing her career.
Shen Yuanjun also proposed to her, and the wedding was put on the agenda.
To be honest, before coming to the Wanyang Brigade, she was nervous. She was worried that her personality would not be liked by others and that the Shen family would mind her status as an orphan.
But she didn't expect that after arriving, she felt only everyone's enthusiasm and love.
In particular, Wang Sufen, the future mother-in-law, not only did not mind her status as an orphan, she even prepared some quilts and items for her as a dowry.
Always consider her feelings and face and treat her like his own daughter!
She really didn't choose the wrong person!
Qin Qing had a smile on her face as she sorted out the clothes in her hands and imagined the future.
After getting married and having a child, she will have a family again.
Of course, it would be even better if I could give birth to a son as responsible as Shen Yuanjun!
In the room, Grandpa Ning and Shen Yuancheng were discussing crops, while Shen Laiyou and Ning Zhensheng were looking through the dictionary together, thinking of a name for the baby in Shen Anan's belly.
Fu Caiying couldn't sit still, so she went to the kitchen with Wang Sufen, saying that she wanted to see how cooking was done on a wood stove.
Shen Anan couldn't sit still either. She was watching the changes in the yard with Ning Huai, and cutting paper-cuts with Shen Liping and others.
Although I have only been away from home for half a year, looking at familiar places still makes me feel a lot of emotion.
Shen Anan had just finished cutting a paper-cut when she saw her fifth and sixth brothers coming back from outside, talking and laughing. Her fifth brother was holding something wrapped in red cloth.
"An An! Why did you come back so suddenly? You should have called my workplace to let me know. Your sister-in-law and I will go pick you up!"
"You are not alone now, you have to be extra careful!"
Shen Anan smiled and shook her head, "How can I be so delicate? I'm in good health!"
Shen Anan looked at what Shen Yuanhao was holding with some curiosity.
"What is that in your hand?"
Hearing Shen Anan's question, Shen Yuanhao did not answer immediately, but smiled meaningfully at Shen Yuanjia.
"This! This is what Fifth Brother prepared for you as a wedding gift for Third Brother!"
"Prepared a gift for me?" Shen Anan's mind was confused for a moment, and she really couldn't figure out why her fifth and sixth brothers would prepare gifts for her.
She bought the wedding gift for Shen Yuanjun when she was in Beijing. It was a pair of couple watches.
Of course, there is no such thing as couple watches nowadays, there are just men's and women's versions of the same watch.
However, because the watch was imported, she had to ask someone to exchange the foreign trade ticket for it.
Ning Zhensheng and Fu Caiying helped to exchange this foreign trade ticket. After all, if Shen Yuanjun had not protected her closely during that period, she might have really had an accident.
You know, according to the time, she was already pregnant at that time.
So the Ning family would also like to take this opportunity to thank Shen Yuanjun.
You know, a gift of two watches is considered very expensive in this era.
So, why would her fifth and sixth brothers help her prepare gifts for no reason?
Seeing Shen Anan's puzzled look, Shen Yuanhao showed an exceptionally bright smile and handed the thing in his hand to Shen Anan.
Shen Anan opened the red cloth, and inside was a finely crafted... washboard!
It was still carved with festive patterns, and was almost exactly the same as the ones she had given to her fifth and sixth sisters-in-law before.
The only difference is that the teeth marks on this washboard are obviously deeper, and the cross-section of each step is sharper.
In a word, it is definitely more painful to kneel down!
Shen Anan hesitated, looking at the "wedding gift" in his hand that looked like a murder weapon.
As if he saw what Shen Anan was thinking, Shen Yuanhao quickly explained.
"Given Third Brother's physique, of course he needs a specially customized version, otherwise it would be a bit meaningless!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Shen Yuanjia nodded, but even Ning Huai beside him nodded in agreement.
Ning Huai took the washboard from Shen Anan's hand and wrapped it with red cloth again.
"Well, I'll take it to our room first. After all, it's a wedding gift. If my third brother and sister-in-law see it in advance, it will lose some of the surprise."
Seeing the three of them singing the same tune, Shen Anan could only mourn for her third brother.
Does this mean that just because you get caught in the rain, you have to tear your brother's umbrella into pieces?
What a touching brotherhood!
Especially Ning Huai. Although Shen Yuanhao gave her a washboard when they got married, she had never used it.
How come he now looks like he feels the same as her fifth and sixth brothers!
She didn't understand and could only express deep sympathy for her third brother.
However, when Shen Anan thought about Qin Qing's skills that she had seen in South Island, she felt that this washboard might not be of much use.
After all, if her third brother really dared to do something to let down her third sister-in-law, he would probably have to sleep with one eye open at night.
Shen Anan laughed. The gift she had given as a joke now seemed to have become a wedding gift exclusively for the Shen family.
The main point is that if you dare to mess with your wife, you will be treated like a washboard!
Shen Anan looked at Shen Yuanhao joking with everyone and sincerely felt that her action in helping to bring Shen Yuanhao and Xi Xiaoling together was absolutely correct.
You know, ever since being abused by Zheng Fugui's family and returning to the Shen family, Shen Yuanhao's usually silent personality has become even more autistic. She even thought at one point that her fifth brother had mental problems.
But she was not a psychologist, and there were no means of psychological intervention in that era. During that time, she could only talk to Shen Yuanhao as much as possible and spend more time with him.
But since Shen Yuanhao and Xi Xiaoling got married, under the influence of Xi Xiaoling, he has become more and more lively.
Sister Xiaoling has a very optimistic and cheerful personality, so Shen Yuanhao seems to have become a different person over the years. He has become more talkative and jokes around more often.
Otherwise, her fifth brother would definitely not have done something like instigating her third brother to give a washboard as a gift.
I can only say that when you meet the right person, things will really get better and better.
Because there were many people cooking, dinner was ready in a short while.
This time, Wang Sufen took out all the good things in the house and made a table full of delicious dishes to entertain the relatives who came from afar and the people who came to help with the decoration.
She even made a few dishes suitable for pregnant women for Shen Anan and placed them in front of her.
Shen Anan had been away at school for half a year and finally came back. The whole family was very happy, especially her eldest and second sisters-in-law, who sat next to her, one on the left and one on the right, pushing Ning Huai to another table.
All in all, Zhou Ping and Li Cui'er had watched her grow up, and they not only treated her as a sister-in-law, but also treated her somewhat like their own daughter.
While eating, I taught her about the precautions to take during pregnancy and showed concern for her current physical condition.
However, when she sat at the table, Shen Anan discovered that her godmother was not there.
He was clearly there when I was helping just now. Logically, he should have stayed for a meal, so why is he gone now?
Shen Anan thought about it and asked. When she heard her words, Zhou Ping and Li Cuier looked at each other and smiled.
Li Cui'er leaned close to her ear and said, "You don't know, soon, you will have another sister-in-law!"
"Last month, Gou Wa got engaged to a girl from the next brigade. Someone just came to the girl's house, so Aunt Yulan hurried back!"
"Really? That's great!"
When Shen Anan heard the news, she also showed a surprised expression.
This is great news!
Ever since Gou Wa’s brain was cured, he has been extremely filial to Hu Yulan.
Last year, Gou Wa’s mother Liu Feng was also released from prison. After asking relatives, she also found the Wanyang Brigade.
At that time, Hu Yulan had actually prepared for Gou Wa to leave.
She brought Gou Wa home because she thought of Daniu and felt compassion for him, and she never thought about getting anything in return.
And, to be honest, she also wanted to thank Gou Wa. If Gou Wa hadn't been by her side during those difficult days, she was afraid that she would not have been able to make it through.
Now, as time goes by, she has gradually come out of it.
If Da Niu, such a filial child, saw her suffering in the underworld, he would probably be very worried.
She wants to live the rest of her life well, and spend the rest of her life praying that Daniu will have a safe and smooth next life with no worries about food and clothing.
However, Gou Wa knelt on the ground and begged Hu Yulan not to drive him away.
Gou Wa has seen and remembered every scene of the careful teaching over the years.
After Liu Feng came out, she saw that her son had regained consciousness and became so well again, so she was naturally very grateful to Hu Yulan.
At that time, I wanted to leave alone. She was a person who didn't know how to teach children. Because of her, Gou Wa almost went to jail. After she left, her son became a better person.
Hu Yulan naturally couldn't let Liu Feng go, after all, she was Gou Wa's biological mother.
After the final negotiation, they finally came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties. Liu Feng would move to the Hu family, which would mean that Gou Wa would have two mothers, and the three of them could live together to provide some care.
However, although this seems to be the best of both worlds, it makes Gou Wa's marriage full of twists and turns.
It was no secret that Gou Wa had mental problems before, so the woman naturally had concerns about this.
Not to mention that Gou Wa now has two mothers. If a girl marries into the family, it means she has to serve two mothers-in-law, which is like having two huge mountains on her shoulders.
People always say that a daughter-in-law will eventually become a mother-in-law, but with two mothers-in-law above, the thought of life is scary.
In particular, Gou Wa also said that the first son born would have the same surname as her godmother, Hu, to continue the Hu family's bloodline.
So before Shen Anan went to school, her godmother was still worried about this matter and sighed with Wang Sufen a lot.
Now that her daughter-in-law has finally been chosen, her godmother must be very happy. No wonder she hurried back when she heard that someone from the girl's family was coming.
"Second sister-in-law, have you seen that girl? What's she like?"
"I've seen her before. She's a hard-working girl with a sweet mouth. Aunt Yulan is very satisfied with her!"
"Besides, this couple fell in love at first sight. Just like in the movie, it was a hero saving a beautiful girl. It's really enviable!"
"Really? Dear sister-in-law, tell me quickly! I'm so curious!"
It can only be said that gossip is the most attractive. Even Fu Caiying, who was chatting with Wang Sufen next to her, leaned over and pricked up her ears.
"It was Gou Wa who went to the mountain to collect herbs and heard a cry for help. The girl was looking for wild vegetables on the mountain and she slipped and fell down a slope and broke her leg."
"When Gou Wa arrived, the girl had been shouting for a long time and her voice was almost gone. Fortunately, Gou Wa arrived in time."
"The girl couldn't walk, so Gou Wa carried her back home. A few days later, the family asked a matchmaker to come to their house."
"It's fate indeed!"
Although it is a hero saving the beauty that people are tired of in the story, it is indeed easy to be moved when such a thing happens in real life.
When you are most desperate, someone extends a helping hand to you, and naturally the weight of that helping hand is extra special.
Knowing that the girl was truly in love with Gou Wa and was not here for any other reason, Shen Anan felt relieved.
After all, when she left, her godmother raised the bride price to two hundred yuan in order to find a wife for Gou Wa, which was definitely a high amount of bride price in that era.
So she was also afraid that the girl was coming for the money, or that the girl was unwilling but was forced to marry because of the bride price.
Her godmother has had a hard enough life, and if she finds a black-hearted daughter-in-law, her future life will inevitably be full of twists and turns.
While they were gossiping here, the men at the other table were also talking and chatting animatedly.
Among them, Ning Huai and Shen Yuanjun are the absolute protagonists, one is about to become a father and the other is about to become a groom.
This meal took several hours to finish.
It just so happened that because of Shen Yuanjun's wedding this time, Wang Sufen was worried that relatives who lived far away would come to attend the wedding and would inevitably have to stay overnight, so she cleaned up the old house at the back and now it is just the right place to accommodate the Ning family.
After a tiring day of traveling, after cleaning up the mess, everyone returned to their rooms and had a good night's sleep.
