Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 44

The next day was the third day of the new year. Early in the morning, Zhao Caixia and her husband Li Wangping took her daughter’s eldest daughter and her son Erpang back to her family’s home.

“Second fat, come, let grandma have a look, have you gained weight?”

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhang Qiao’er hugged the little grandson and put a scent on his chubby face.

“Why isn’t it fat? You see this bulging face is like a steamed bun. He eats a lot now, and he eats a bowl of rice every meal. Isn’t there meat at home during the recent Chinese New Year? Oh, don’t you take a few pieces of fat? Blink, I can eat better than me.”

The old man likes tiger-headed-and-brained little dolls the most. It looks so festive.

“It’s a blessing to be able to eat. Children can grow stronger if they eat more, and they are in good health and are not easy to get sick.”

It didn’t take long for Zhang Qiao’er to hold Er Fatty’s arm a little sore, she smiled and patted Er Fat’s little ass, and smiled, “I really gained weight. I held it in my hand like a stone pier.”

Zhao Caixia smiled and replied, “No, Mom, you put him down quickly. Don’t flash your waist for the New Year.”

Zhao Donglin and Zhao Donghe spoke with his brother-in-law Li Wangping. Several children were playing together in the yard. Zheng Yuefen sat under the window sill holding the melon seeds. She and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law had a normal relationship, and had been so close and not far away for so many years.

No one noticed that Jiahui was not in the yard. After a while, Jiahui took out a schoolbag from the house. It was made of army green cloth. There was a khaki puppy doll on the shoulder strap, which was hand-stitched by Jiahui. System.

“Oh, do you like this bag? Can you use it when you start school?”

Da Ya is eight years old and is already in the second grade. Jiahui made a schoolbag for her out of the cloth used to make clothes.

The reason why I thought of making schoolbags for Da Ya was mainly to please the aunt Zhao Caixia.

Daya’s eyes lit up when she saw the schoolbag. After taking it, she couldn’t put it down, especially the **** puppy doll. The image was lifelike and incredibly cute.

“It’s so beautiful.”

It looks better than any schoolbag she has ever seen.

Zhao Caixia also came over and praised, “Jiahui, your craftsmanship is so good, how did this puppy make it?”

Jiahui smiled and said, “It is stitched with needles and threads, and stuffed with cotton.”

She learned to sketch when she was a child, and had a certain degree of drawing skills. Drawing a cartoon or something is completely trivial to her.

“This puppy is quite interesting. I really don’t know how your head grows. It’s all the same person, so I’m so stupid. I don’t know anything.”

“I’m a fool, I just like it.”

“I like it, thank you auntie.”

When Zhao Caixia married Li Wangping, the Zhao family hadn’t prospered. Zhao Donglin was also in the army step by step, from the squad leader to the company commander’s position. Therefore, Zhao Caixia married Li Wangping, who was the right one. Later, the life of the Zhao family was better. The conditions are not as good as Zhao’s.

Because of a useful younger brother, Zhao Caixia’s life in her husband’s family was excellent. Even if she gave birth to a daughter in the first place, she was not tortured by her mother-in-law. You know, her mother-in-law is very patriarchal.

Lunch started at nine o’clock. Today it is Chef Jiahui and Meixiang helping the kitchen. Zhao Caixia and Zhang Qiaoer are sitting at the kitchen door and chatting together.

“There is a nice guy in our village. He is the youngest in the family. He is energetic and temperamental. During the Chinese New Year, his mother said he wanted to find him a partner. I think he and Meixiang are quite suitable. Would you like to look at each other?”

“How are his parents, are they easy to get along with?”

The personality of the man’s parents is Zhang Qiaoer’s first consideration when looking for a girlfriend for her daughter. It is because the daughter’s personality is too gentle. If she encounters a fierce mother-in-law, there will be no bones left to be eaten.

“How many sons in his family? Are you married and separated?”

“Four sons, the eldest and the second are separated, the third is just married, he is the fourth.”

Zhang Qiao’er couldn’t help shaking her head when she heard this condition.

“That won’t work, the eldest will be separated. In case the older couple will follow the younger, just like your sister, life will never go on.”

Zhao Caixia has always listened to her mother’s words, since her mother’s words are not good, it is not good, and this topic has passed.

“I’ve found a matchmaker. If you have the right one, you can meet each other. Anyway, if your girl is still young, it would be suitable to stay for another two years.”

“Well, Mika is really young, so I have to choose it carefully.”

Like her marrying Li Wangping, the conditions of the Li family are not very good. The victory is that Li Wangping is an individual man, especially after the older brother was promoted in the army.

If it was Meixiang, he would definitely be able to find a better family. After all, the conditions in the family are not bad now, and they belong to the top class in the village. Another one, the eldest brother also served as the secretary of the village.

Jiahui heard something vaguely in the kitchen, Meixiang’s face was also red, Jiahui smiled and asked, “Meixiang, when do you want to find someone?”

Meixiang is a very innocent girl. She belongs to the kind who is well protected by her family. Except for the boys in school, she has almost never seen the opposite sex. However, girls will definitely have some affection when they enter puberty. She used to like the one from school. The male classmate, handsome, good at studying, and writing particularly good-looking, has two dimples when he laughs, and his eyes are shining like stars.

But this kind of love is carefully hidden in her heart. For her, the other party is too dazzling, she is ordinary and ordinary, and she is not worthy of such a good boy.

After graduation, I never saw him again. I heard that he worked in the post office, which was the post office in the county. Meixiang rarely went to the county seat, so he never met again after graduation.

Recalling these, Meixiang’s eyes also had a sense of sorrow. Who is Jiahui? Having been baptized by various romantic dramas, this kind of apparent liking for a person can’t be mistaken.

“Mika, do you have someone you like?”

“No, sister-in-law, you think too much.”

“I didn’t think about anything. If you don’t have someone you like, why would you blush when I mention this?”

“Which boy? I don’t know him? Is it from our village?”

“No, it’s from the county seat.”

“Oh, it turned out to be a boy in the county town.”

In terms of idioms, Mixiang is not Jiahui’s opponent, and Jiahui confuses her with a few words.

Mixiang accidentally missed her mouth, she looked at the door nervously, for fear that her mother and her sister would hear it.

“Sister-in-law, don’t talk about it, it’s just that I like people myself, maybe they don’t know me.”

“It’s your former classmate.”

“Well, he is very popular in school. He studies well and organizes many campus activities. The handwriting is very beautiful, and the school board newspapers let him publish it.”

Mei Xiang said that Jiahui knew that the boy was probably like a campus boy. As a girl, it is very normal to like outstanding and dazzling male classmates.

“What’s wrong, what’s unhappy?”

“No, I think I might find someone to marry me in the future.”

Such a good boy can never be with him.

“No, in fact, life can be controlled by yourself. Have you ever heard a sentence,’My fate is my destiny.’ If there is a chance in the future that allows you to change your own destiny, would you choose?”

Meixiang looked at Jiahui ignorantly, she could understand these words separately, but how could she not understand them together? What is the opportunity to change fate that my sister-in-law said? Will there really be such an opportunity?

“Where can I have this opportunity, I think I will be married to a child and farm the land for the rest of my life, so I won’t have any great prospects.”

“No, didn’t you follow me to learn how to make clothes? You also learn to cook. As long as you learn these, your ability will exceed half of the people. With these skills, you will always find a way out in the future.”

Now the digital gang has not been disbanded, and the notice of resuming the college entrance examination hasn’t been seen. Jiahui can’t reveal too much to Meixiang, she can only guide her little by little, first of all, she can’t succumb to an ordinary life.

“Well, sister-in-law, it’s great to meet you.”

This sister-in-law has indeed taught her a lot of things. She looks good, has a good temper, and is generous and courteous. Her goal is to be like her sister-in-law one day.

She also understands a truth, that is, she can’t fully believe in what people say. Before meeting her sister-in-law, many people said that her sister-in-law was divorced, how cowardly, how to beat a word with a few sticks, and how to be unworthy of her brother. After seeing a real person, she found out that she is so good. Apart from divorce, she has no shortcomings at all. Now that she sees her sister-in-law and her brother in love, Meixiang is happy for her sister-in-law, such a good woman, just He deserves a good man like his brother.

“I think the black egg is more cheerful than before. It seems that the younger brothers and sisters treat him well.”

“To be honest, my mother is nothing more than that. I have considered all aspects for the child. I started teaching black eggs to read characters a while ago. I recite a piece of “Three Character Classics” every day. , And she can stand her temper, Jia Hui said, as long as the black belt studies hard, the grades will not be bad in the future, and she will definitely be admitted to a good university.”

“Dong Lin just studied when he was a child, and the black egg is going to follow his father.”

It’s a pity that the eldest brother will only have two babies, Heidan and Yingbao, in the future.

Meatballs stewed cabbage, sour radish bone soup, garlic scrambled eggs, radish seed peanuts, stewed pumpkin, braised fish, full of Dangdang table.

“Come on, taste how good your aunt’s meal is.”

Daya is happy to receive a schoolbag today, and she praises sweetly, “My aunt makes the best dishes, and it tastes better than my mother’s.”

Jiahui smiled and squeezed her small face, “Oh, this little mouth is really good at talking, eat more if you like.”

“This is the one who had a sugar and forget her mother. Don’t expect her to be filial in the future.”

“Who said that, we are honest, what we say is completely from the heart, don’t we?”

Da Ya nodded heavily and smiled triumphantly at her mother.

Ying Bao watched Jiahui talk to Daya, and watched Jiahui’s mouth open and crying.

“What’s the matter, this little mouth can hang oil bottles, who made you angry?”

“Mom, hug.”

Jiahui put down her chopsticks and hugged Yingbao in her arms.

“Okay, hug, why do you want to hug all of a sudden?”

Meixiang smiled and said, “I’m probably jealous, watching you talk to Da Ya, I feel uncomfortable.”

“Is that right? Are you jealous?”

Yingbao buried her head in Jiahui’s arms and refused to look up, probably because she was shy knowing that others were laughing at her.

After eating, Zhao Caixia asked Ying to wash the dishes. Jiahui said no to Meixiang, but Zheng Yuefen didn’t speak.

“I’ll wash it, I can’t take it anymore all morning.”

“It’s so rare that you can rest well when you go back to your natal house.”

“Jiahui’s words are good, isn’t it difficult for women? It’s not a moment of leisure at home. I have been free for a long time today thanks to your blessing.”

“I didn’t see that she was so ignorant before, but Jiahui showed it as soon as she walked in.”

She doesn’t know how to be a human being. She doesn’t help cooking. Although she washes the dishes by herself, she doesn’t even make a statement. You are really polite. Can you really let her wash?

“It just doesn’t make people worry, the more I live, the more I go back.”

“Fortunately, Jiahui is a magnificent person, she doesn’t care about her, if she marries someone who can make trouble, this day will be lively.”

“Who said no.”

Zhang Qiao’er was still satisfied with Jiahui’s daughter-in-law, and it would be even more complete if he could add a son and a half to Donglin as soon as possible.

Half a month later, Daya went to school with her new schoolbag. Her schoolbag attracted the attention of classmates.

“Li Jiaying, where did you buy this schoolbag?”

Da Ya’s name is Li Jiaying, which is the name Zhao Donglin gave to her after she went to school, which means cleverness and excellence.

Before Da Ya could answer the question, the female classmate who asked the question stretched out her hand, trying to touch the puppy hanging on Da Ya’s schoolbag, but she was slapped away by her palm.

“Don’t touch, don’t get me dirty.”

If she didn’t want to show her to her classmates, she would still be reluctant to hang up the puppy. That day, her aunt saw that she liked the puppy, and she made her a bigger doll that could hold and sleep. It was just a long one. The long-bearded kitten, Da Ya hugged it every night, even Er Fat didn’t want to touch it.

“Li Jiaying, where did you buy this schoolbag? Why didn’t I see this puppy sold by the supply and marketing agency? I went to the county town during the holiday, and I didn’t see this in the county town.”

This girl has a good family background. An uncle who works in the county seat and made a home in the city. She went to the city a few years ago with relatives. She thinks she is a knowledgeable person. On the big girl, there is a new schoolbag that I haven’t seen before.

Da Ya raised her chin and said triumphantly, “This is not what I bought, but my aunt made it for me. She can make not only school bags, but also cute animals and beautiful clothes.”

In less than half a day, the news that Da Ya has a beautiful schoolbag and that Da Ya’s aunt will make school bags spread all over the campus.

“Mom, I also want the puppy schoolbag that Li Jiaying is carrying!”

On the first day of school, I need something. Parents who are good-tempered wait patiently to listen to their children.

“If you want something, I will ask you to ask for something. If you don’t study well, you just want something! You don’t need to spend money on things. The money you are at home comes from the wind. The money for you to go to school is to save money at home. It’s okay, you dare to ask for a puppy schoolbag, and watch me beat you into a puppy.”

Who would have thought that the peak of Jiahui’s sewing career was due to an army green satchel with a doll on it.
