Chapter 387 Do all soldiers love their wives so much?

"Ah? Why?" Lin Wanxia started the car.

"Eh!" The fourth sister-in-law, who was riding in a car for the first time, was so scared that she was at a loss and tightly grasped the armrest beside her, "Are you really going out? Where are you going? Without Yueyue?"

"Yueyue is asleep, Jiang Si Nian will take care of her when she wakes up."

The expression on the fourth sister-in-law's face became very complicated, with the most jealousy, "If I had known that the fourth brother was going to join the army, I would have secretly let him go. Do all soldiers love their wives so much?"

"Huh?" Lin Wanxia was puzzled. "How can they love their wives? Everyone knows that soldiers are the least caring for their families. Military wives are the most miserable 'single mothers'."

The fourth sister-in-law shook her head. "I don't know about others, but in our family, the two soldiers still love their wives very much. My

eldest brother is also a soldier, just like you. My eldest sister-in-law is also a city person..."

Lin Wanxia shook her head. "Sorry, interrupt me. I'm not from the city. I'm also a country person from a small fishing village."

The fourth sister-in-law was Lin Wanxia laughed: "Even if you were a country girl, you are a city girl now. You are more fashionable and stylish than the girls in the city."

She stretched out her hand and placed it next to Lin Wanxia's hand on the steering wheel, "I am only 25 years old. Look at my hands, they are like tree bark, and your hands are like green onions. Just now you wanted to wash the dishes, not to mention me, I am afraid that Sinian would not agree."

Lin Wanxia did not refute. Thinking carefully, it seems that when she was with Jiang Sinian, she did not even do housework.

Except for the time when Jiang Sinian was sick.

"I don't know how you get along outside, but after coming home, my eldest brother never let my eldest sister-in-law do anything.

In the beginning, my eldest sister-in-law also wanted to take good care of the whole family at home.

Our mother... you've seen her, she has often bullied my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter as her first child, and the old lady didn't like her. She

made my eldest sister-in-law do the housework during the confinement period. Not only did she suffer from postpartum disease, but she almost committed suicide. Later, my mother complained that there were too many people and too many mouths to feed herself at home, too few people working, and not enough work points to earn food, so she wanted to give my eldest niece away..."

Lin Wanxia said "tsk", her expression indescribable.

"My eldest sister-in-law ran away before she was out of confinement, and she almost died of illness."

"Later, my eldest brother came back and took my eldest sister-in-law away."

"Over the years, my eldest brother and sister-in-law rarely come back. When something important happens, my eldest brother will come back if he is free, and he will not come if he is not free."

"Our marriage was probably the biggest event. My eldest brother and his wife came back together. They stayed in the town for two nights and then left."

The fourth sister-in-law sighed, "Although I only met my eldest sister-in-law that one time, I have a deep impression of her. She smelled strongly of medicine, was extremely thin, and would gasp after walking a few steps. My eldest brother never left her side the whole time. It was just that I had just gotten married at that time and didn't know what happened. I thought my eldest sister-in-law was not in good health.

Until I became pregnant and gave birth. My first child was also a maiden..."

The fourth sister-in-law's tears fell as she spoke, "My mother-in-law asked me to get off the kang during the confinement period, saying that it would be good to move more. I ate two meals of eggs right after I gave birth. My parents sent me so many eggs, but she only gave me four, saying that eating too much would be bad for the child, and then gave the eggs to my second and third sisters."

"But, here we say that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. I married into the Jiang family and had to endure it for the sake of the fourth child and the children.

It was the fourth child who came back one day and saw me getting off the kang. He got angry and asked my mother-in-law if she wanted me to be like my eldest sister-in-law. My father

-in-law scolded my mother-in-law, and since then I have really been in confinement."

Lin Wanxia didn't know what to say for a while.

I really wanted to ask, "Your legs and feet are on your body, so you do whatever she asks you to do?"

But it was also clear that people in this era were like this.

Just like before she traveled through the book, Douyin was full of mothers-in-law who humbled themselves to please their daughters-in-law, and this era is still the era of daughters-in-law who humbled themselves.

At least it is still like this in the countryside.

The fourth sister-in-law was born and raised in such an environment, and she is used to this kind of life.

After thinking for a while, Lin Wanxia said: "Fourth sister-in-law, today you should do your best to be a good host and accompany me, your foreign daughter-in-law. You should accompany me to do whatever I want to do. When you get home, if your mother-in-law makes things difficult for you, you can say that I forced you to do it."

Fourth sister-in-law: "..."

Lin Wanxia took the fourth sister-in-law straight to the county town.

The fourth sister-in-law advised: "Sister-in-law, in fact, the town is closer."

"There are not many things in the town, let's go to the county town." Lin Wanxia said, actually because she was afraid that Jiang Sinian, the straight man, would come to find them.

There was not much she could do, so she wanted to give this fourth sister-in-law a day off.

The county town is far away from Qianyu Village, and it takes another 40 minutes to drive there.

When the fourth sister-in-law arrived, she sighed: "Four wheels are still faster! When my child was sick when I was young, it took us two hours to get here by ox cart! It takes more than an hour to drive a tractor in the village."

Lin Wanxia smiled and said nothing, her eyes looking around.

In general, in a city, the tallest building means the most prosperous place.

Lin Wanxia made the excuse that she was from the south and was not used to the cold in the north, and asked the fourth sister-in-law to accompany her to buy clothes.

After all, it was a county town, there was no department store, only a Wujiaohua building.

Like a supply and marketing mall, the first to fourth floors are different areas.

The first floor sells bicycles and the like, the second floor is clothing, the third floor is non-staple food and daily necessities, and the fourth floor is wedding supplies, cultural supplies, etc.

Lin Wanxia dragged her fourth sister-in-law down from the fourth floor. There was nothing they wanted to buy on the fourth floor. They

bought some food on the third floor.

At the end of 1985, although the tickets had not been completely abolished, their role was not as great as before. At least they could buy what they wanted at the counter without tickets.

The fourth sister-in-law tried to stop Lin Wanxia.

"Sister-in-law, is that enough?"

"Sister-in-law, this is too expensive, buy less."

"Sister-in-law, don't buy it, it's not delicious."

"..."

Lin Wanxia pretended not to hear.

The two of them carried their things to the second floor and started buying clothes again.

This year, a kind of coat called a puffer coat was particularly popular in the county.

It can be worn both ways, one side is red and the other side is blue. In order to prevent the cotton wool inside from running away, the coat is cut into diamond-shaped blocks with thread.

What surprised Lin Wanxia was that this coat was very light, even lighter than the down jacket she was wearing.

The down jacket she was wearing was not mass-produced, but was custom-made by Chen Manshu, one for each person.

The coat is not as warm as a down jacket, but it is a native product of the 1980s and has represented the fashion of that era.

"This coat is so beautiful." The fourth sister-in-law praised others while watching them try on clothes.

Lin Wanxia asked the clerk to get one for each of them.

The fourth sister-in-law waved her hands repeatedly, "Forget it, this is too expensive! Someone in our village bought it, and it costs sixty yuan for one."
