Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 90
The two brothers Zhao Donglin and Zhao Donghe got off the car and took their four children straight to the restaurant. When they arrived at the restaurant, they found that the situation was not right. The Li family unexpectedly greeted the guests in the restaurant like the owner, and even took care of the work of collecting money.
Li Wangping’s sister-in-law saw the two of them without showing the slightest embarrassment. She smiled and said, “His eldest brother and second elder brother, are you back? Ouch, even when you were busy in the provincial city and had no time to return, the child has already given birth. It’s been ten days.”
There was no beginning and no end to these words, Zhao Donglin frowned and ignored it. Zhang Qiaoer helped in the kitchen, and the black egg took his younger siblings to the kitchen to call grandma.
“Ah, why are you here? Are your parents here?”
“Dad and Uncle are outside.”
“My mother went to see the little sister at the aunt’s place.”
Zhang Qiaoer was very happy to see her grandchildren. She talked to her son-in-law and took the children out of the kitchen.
Zhang Qiaoer had always felt ashamed for not following her son and daughter-in-law to the provincial capital in order to take care of her eldest daughter in childbirth. Now her daughter has been given birth smoothly. Although she is a girl, they are not patriarchs. Boys and girls have the same pain, no difference. , It was the sudden emergence of Li’s family, which made her very angry.
While taking care of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, while helping her son-in-law to look after the kitchen, she didn’t want to fight in the store. This was how she tolerated it until now.
Today, when the two sons came back, Zhang Qiaoer suddenly felt a sense of finding the backbone.
“Have you eaten? What do you want to eat, noodles or dumplings?”
It was lunch time, and there were a lot of people eating in the restaurant.
After sitting in the car for a long time, the children are indeed hungry.
“We want to eat noodles.”
“Okay, grandma wait for you to do it.”
Li Wangping met Donglin Donghe with the help of serving dishes, and did not dare to look at them directly, his eyes kept hiding.
“Brother-in-law, what’s the matter?”
What Zhao Donglin asked was naturally about the third wife of the Li family. Li Wangping understood, and the Li family understood.
Before Li Wangping spoke, the sister-in-law of the Li family spoke first.
“His brother-in-law, we are here to help, isn’t Caixia giving birth to a baby? We are also kind.”
The second sister-in-law of the Li family also said to help, “Yes, a family, we still have to reach out if we have difficulties.”
If Zhao Donglin doesn’t understand what this means, the rice for so many years will be eaten for nothing. It is just a group of brazen relatives who have raised the banner of family affection.
Zhao Donglin smiled and took the children to sit down. One person ordered a bowl of noodles, and put a bowl with Yingbao.
“After eating, let’s go see the eldest sister, and we have to go back to the village at night.”
Such people certainly cannot live in the county. It costs money to live in a guest house. In addition, Jia Huiming’er has to go back to her family’s home.
As for the Li family, wait until they understand the situation clearly, and then talk about other things.
I hope they are all sincere to help.
After eating, Zhao Donglin brought lunch to Jiahui and the others, and went to Meixiang dormitory with Donghe.
At this moment Meixiang has also returned from school, and Jiahui is talking to her about her marriage.
The Ji’s family has already counted on the wedding ceremony on the eighteenth of the twelfth lunar month, which is ten days before the new year.
At that time, the school had already had winter vacation, and everyone had time. What was not perfect was that Jiahui didn’t have much time to help with preparations.
“Your wedding clothes are the man’s preparations?”
Ji’s family is very sincere. The gift is 888 yuan, ten cigarettes, twenty catties of fruit candies, ten banquets in the county seat, and four popular items such as watches, bicycles, semiconductor radios and sewing machines.
Counting it down, Meixiang and Ji Zhenfeng would have to spend four to five thousand yuan to marry the Ji family.
“Auntie said that she would buy two sets of clothes for me. I also bought cloth and made some shirts and coats. The clothes are enough to wear.”
Meixiang thought about asking her sister-in-law to make a wedding dress for her. She knows that her sister-in-law is very good at making clothes, but the sister-in-law is too busy now, she has to go to school, do housework, and bring children. Last time Brother wrote back, saying that his sister-in-law had already practiced in the provincial party committee, and Meixiang was even more embarrassed to cause Jiahui to trouble.
“In a blink of an eye, we, Meixiang, will be married. I have to think about what gift to give you.”
Meixiang is her closest little sister in this world. She is well-behaved and sensible, and she has all the virtues that a girl should possess.
Meixiang is like a little girl projected from Jiahui’s heart, and everything makes Jiahui very satisfied.
“Sister-in-law, no need, you have given me enough gifts, I will never use them up in my life.”
If it were not for a sister-in-law, she might have married early, would not take the college entrance examination, would not be a teacher in the county, and would not have the opportunity to get to know Ji Zhenfeng.
Meixiang is still very self-aware, knowing that if she weren’t admitted to university or became a teacher, her brother and sister-in-law would be so good, and the Ji family would never recognize her.
…………
Most of the wasteland of Dong’s family has been cleaned up, first digging up rocks and weeds with a hoe, and then using a load to pick up soil suitable for planting crops and spread it out.
This time, it was both excavation and leveling. The labor force was really not a little bit. What’s more, the amount of fifty acres of land was huge, and the Dong family almost got down tired.
When Jiahui returned to her family’s house, she saw that her mother’s shoulders were swollen with the load, and her hands were cracked, which made her feel very distressed.
“Mom, don’t be so anxious. The body is the capital of the revolution. With so much, it won’t be possible for a while.”
Chen Guixiang pretended to smile indifferently and said, “It’s okay, this looks scary, I don’t feel it at all.”
Jiahui didn’t believe it. Although she didn’t do much work in the field, she knew how tiring the work in the field was.
“Mom, you are cheating on me as a child. How could it not be felt? It must be particularly uncomfortable.”
Chen Guixiang sighed and told the truth, “So, I looked at the boss at a glance. If I don’t rush to fix the family, I will panic. I tell you, if it weren’t for the night, we would not sleep.”
Jiahui shook her head helplessly, knowing that her persuasion would have no effect, so she started talking about something else.
“I have already asked about saplings. There will be a batch that can be cultivated in March and April after the new year. Don’t leave the land for a few months in the middle. It is good to plant some easy-growing vegetables to sell.”
Jiahui asked about the saplings, and asked a professor from Wudong Agricultural University who specializes in the cultivation of fruit seedlings by grafting.
Chen Guixiang smiled sincerely this time. They sat at home and didn’t know where they could get the saplings. Jiahui told them not to worry. She came to find a way, but how could they not worry?
It’s all right now, everything is settled.
“Okay, listen to you. Also, didn’t you say that some poultry and livestock can be raised on the mountain? I have selected the breeding eggs and sent them to hatch. After the chicks are hatched and kept at home for a period of time, they can be directly put on the mountain. “
Dong Dagui hasn’t been to the fields in the past few days, so he has set up chicken pens and sheep pens on the mountain, and it is full of heat.
I’ve figured out how to raise them specifically. They raise them freely during the day and go in the pen in the evening. There is enough grass in the mountains to eat.
Jiahui nodded, turned around and took her backpack in front of her.
“Mom, I brought some money back. I think there will be more places to spend money after I stay home. You can hold it first, and use it as soon as you can. It won’t take care of the delay.”
The envelope made of kraft paper was a thick wad. At this time, there were no hundred yuan bills. The largest bill was ten yuan. Jiahui had prepared three thousand for the family.
Chen Guixiang took the envelope, but he couldn’t help but feel relieved in his heart.
For half a year’s rent, most of the family’s money has been spent, and there are a lot of things to be purchased next. It is estimated that there will be no return money in the past six months. The rent in the second half of the year is a big problem.
“The money is borrowed by your brothers. When they make money, I will let them pay you back first.”
Both sons and daughters are in their hearts, and the daughters have a good life and are willing to help her natal family. Chen Guixiang can’t let her daughters suffer.
Jiahui smiled and said, “I also hope that the better I can get past the house. To be honest, let the eldest brother and the others do this, I am also quite stressed.”
The idea was brought up by her, not afraid of 10,000 yuan, but just in case, if in the end not only did not make money, but also lost the money, then she would die of guilt.
After all, she is not a major in socioeconomics, and all of her ideas are based on the cognition of her supervisor, and there is no professional data support.
There are a lot of people engaged in agriculture, but if this time and place are not suitable for this, who can she talk to to reason?
Chen Guixiang understood the girl’s meaning and patted her hand with infinite emotion.
“Mom knows, mom knows, anyway, there are so many land, if the same kind is not good, we will change the same, there is always time to make money.”
At this point, Chen Guixiang is still very optimistic.
She came all the way from the old society. In the old society, there were landlords, middle peasants and poor peasants. In her understanding, land means wealth. Why can a landlord be called a landlord? Isn’t it because there is more land?
Now, in addition to the ten acres of land in the village, there are 50 acres of wasteland and more than 700 acres of mountainous land in the family, which has completely reached the level of “landlord”.

“What do you think about the Li family?”
On the way back from her natal home, Jiahui and Zhao Donglin talked about the Li family.
At the beginning, I funded the restaurant to let the elder sister live well. Now that the Li family is here to take advantage of the fisherman’s profit, Jiahui is naturally not happy, but the Li family is the eldest sister’s in-law’s family, and Jiahui doesn’t want to say everything for herself, she wants to hear it. What does Zhao Donglin mean?
Zhao Donglin naturally complained about the Li family. No one would help when the eldest sister needed it the most. What is it to run over now? He knows the brother-in-law, who is too honest and loyal. This kind of personality has its advantages, but there are also many disadvantages, and it is easy to suffer.
The brother-in-law suffered a loss, and the eldest sister’s nephew and niece also suffered a loss, which is not what Zhao Donglin wanted to see.
“I’ll talk to them, so don’t worry about getting angry with them.”
When the restaurant is short of people, they spend money to find another help. The Li family must leave. This is for business, not for charity. They are really allowed to come in. The restaurant does not need to be opened and closed directly.
Since Zhao Donglin said so, Jiahui really didn’t care. I don’t know what he said when he went to the restaurant. Anyway, the Li family had already left before leaving.
“Dong Lin, blame me, and finally caused you trouble.”
Zhao Donglin’s thoughts slapped Li Wangping on the shoulder slightly, and a thousand words only turned into a comforting sentence.
“Brother-in-law, don’t think too much about other things, as long as you take good care of your eldest sister and your children. We are all a family, there is no trouble or trouble.”
In other words, whether it is to open this restaurant or come forward to solve the Li family’s affairs, he is not for his brother-in-law Li Wangping, but for the eldest sister Zhao Caixia, and the big two fat girls and Linlin.
Li Wangping’s thoughts were not that complicated, and he didn’t hear Zhao Donglin’s deep meaning, only knowing that Donglin didn’t blame him, it already made him very happy.
Zhao Caixia already knew about it last night. She cried in the middle of the night and talked a lot about her previous days, such as how she bullied her, how she bullied Li Wangping, how she took her children and earning work points while she came back and talked. You can’t get hot rice or food.
Li Wangping hurriedly scratched his ears and cheeks for comfort, and vowed that no matter how good her life is in the future, she would no longer be involved with his brothers, and Zhao Caixia stopped tears.
“Don’t blame me for being cruel, for so many years, I am really chilling, but if they have treated me a little bit better before, I won’t be so clear with them.”
“I know, I didn’t blame you.”
How could he dare to blame his daughter-in-law, according to his wife’s terms, marrying him would be considered married, but to blame, he could only blame himself for not having the skills, for not letting his daughter-in-law live a good life in the past ten years.
Just like the brother-in-law said, people have to distinguish right from wrong, know how to determine what is not good for oneself, and can’t just be led by others.
He is the head of the family and has opened a restaurant as the boss. He should grow up and give his wife and children a peaceful and peaceful sky.
The author has something to say: It’s too south. After taking a baby for a day, I almost left the window empty (??︿??)
