Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 72
Zhao Donglin went to study with the professor. After leaving Jiahui, Jiahui was a little uncomfortable. From the time the two got married to now, it hasn’t been such a long time since they were separated.
Without her husband, Jiahui decided to find something to do on her own. She didn’t make clothes for a long time. Jiahui had some itchy hands, so she asked her mother-in-law to go to the mall to have a look.
“Mom, I heard that there are a batch of new clothes in the mall, let’s go check it out and buy two suitable ones.”
The season is changing. Jiahui always adds two new clothes every time he changes. This is a habit left from a previous life. In addition to adults, there are several children in the family. The black egg grows very fast. It’s small, especially the pants, the trouser legs are a bit shorter.
There are also stones, which grow very fast. Although Zhao Donghe loves his children, such meticulous things are not as comprehensive as Jiahui’s thoughts.
When my daughter-in-law said to buy clothes in the mall, Zhang Qiao’er waved her hand repeatedly, “Oh, I have clothes, so I don’t need to buy new ones. If you want to buy them, you can see them by yourself. Don’t take me to them.”
“Mom, if you want to be filial to you as a daughter-in-law, you can go with me. If you don’t have everyone, then I feel so uncomfortable.”
This daughter-in-law is so good at talking, Zhang Qiaoer’s eyebrows were open and she chuckled and said, “Who can say that you are not filial? Others asked me, how is your daughter-in-law, how good is it to you, I will say everything is fine, everything is good, Not a word.”
This is the truth. Zhang Qiao’er never talks about Jiahui in front of outsiders. In the same way, when she mentions her mother-in-law Jiahui, she also speaks good words.
“This is because my mother is kind to me, I am called’repaying the peach for the plum’.”
Zhang Qiao’er is not well-educated, and she is not good at idioms, but it does not affect her understanding of Jiahui’s meaning, and she smiles happily.
The shopping mall in the provincial capital is a two-story building. The two got off the bus, took the released hand, and walked into the mall together.
Fangfang is very impressed by the places where they sell food, especially the colorful iron boxes, which contain all kinds of delicious food.
He took Jiahui to the right, and went directly to the food counter, pointed to a box with white rabbits on a red background, and said yes.
“That’s biscuits. If you want to eat it, let’s call it casually. You don’t need to buy an iron box to eat it at home.”
Put her mouth flat and want to cry.
I don’t know when I learned a skill. I started crying when naughty was educated by an adult. Zhang Qiaoer ate this set very much, and Jiahui didn’t allow it.
At this moment, he flattened his mouth, Jiahui insisted that no, Zhang Qiaoer behind him couldn’t bear it a little, worried that the daughter-in-law was teaching the child and didn’t raise her foot.
How smart is Fang Fang, knowing that she can’t break through from her mother, she walked past Jiahui, hugged Zhang Qiao’er’s leg directly, raised her head, tears in her eyes, Zhang Qiao’er felt relieved directly.
“How about… let’s buy a can?”
Yes, now more than one person is looking at Jiahui pitifully, and even her mother-in-law has joined the team.
“Then buy a can, buy it back and share it with your brothers and sisters, you know?”
Tickets are required to buy these biscuits. Jiahui and Zhao Donglin are now students. Except for food stamps, the school does not issue other ticket types. Jiahui’s sugar tickets, milk powder tickets, and biscuit tickets are all given by Shen Nianru.
She really treats Jiahui as a girl and takes good care of the children in the family.
Listening to her mother finally let go, letting go of her tears to laugh, and nodded again and again.
In the end, they bought a can of biscuits. After the purchase, the two took the children to see the fabrics and ready-made clothes.
“Several children need to add new clothes and their pants are short. I also want to make two for Meixiang. She is going to work and needs to dress decently. Mom, see if you have any clothes or fabrics you like.”
“You can just buy it. I don’t need to buy it. The ones you made for me before are not bad or broken, and they look good on my body.”
“Then you have to pick one. If the whole family has new clothes to wear, you don’t have any. That’s because I am a daughter-in-law.”
After Jiahui said something, Zhang Qiaoer chose a piece of material. The ready-made clothes are too expensive, and she is really reluctant to spend the money.
When she came back last Chinese New Year, Zhao Donglin had already helped her move the sewing machine. Jiahui bought a lot of fabrics and prepared to do it herself. She was not reluctant to spend money, mainly because she disliked that those clothes were not good-looking.
Wang Mei was wearing a plaid striped improved tunic suit and stepped on high heels to buy things in the mall. She fell in love with a rose-red silk scarf. Last time there was a batch of goods, she did not catch up. This time, she said okay with the salesperson who knows her well in advance. I left one for her, and I came to get the silk scarf today.
When passing the first floor stairs to the second floor, Wang Mei turned around abruptly, as if she heard the voice of her former mother-in-law.
“Isn’t it too fashionable for me to wear this pattern? How can an old lady in her 50s or 60s wear it so brightly.”
Zhang Qiao’er talked and laughed. Jiahui compared her with a piece of black printed fabric. Zhang Qiao’er had worn blue, gray and black before, and didn’t wear this kind of print.
“This is pretty, it’s the best match for you.”
Zhang Qiaoer laughed.
“Your godmother looks good in this kind of fabric. I am an old lady from the countryside. I don’t want to wear it.”
“I bought the godmother’s too, this is yours.”
Zhang Qiao’er wanted to say anything else, the salesperson who had been watching silently smiled and said, “Old man, your daughter-in-law is a filial piety to you. You can rest assured.”
Most of the salespersons in the shopping malls are looking for people to order food. Jiahui bought so many pieces of cloth at once, and even selected them. The salesperson knew that they were in good condition.
At this turn, Wang Mei discovered that she was not sensitive, but that the old lady was really her ex-grandmother Zhang Qiao’er.
Wang Mei was full of doubts as to why Zhang Qiaoer would appear in the provincial capital, or such a high-end shopping mall, who is the nice and young woman next to her, and whether the one sitting on the small bench eating cookies is the grandson of Zhao’s Xintian.
Fearing that her position would be exposed, Wang Mei found another place to observe and found that they had bought a lot of things. They only bought seven or eight yuan for fabrics. The woman’s name was Zhang Qiaoer’s mother, and the little boy was called Zhang Qiaoer’s grandmother.
Thinking that the life of the Zhao family would not be easy after he left, Zhao Donglin could only find a little-seen rural wife, but he did not expect that the life of the Zhao family would be better as possible. This made Wang Mei’s calm heart ripples.
*****
In the morning, after having dinner at a family home behind the dormitory, Mei Xiang walked towards the school in the sunshine.
All students in No. 1 Middle School are students who live nearby, so the school does not have a canteen. The teachers who live in the dormitories join the team at the residents’ homes. Meixiang also joined the team for five yuan a month, including three meals.
After eating these days, the combination of meat and vegetables, although the benefit is not as good as her own, but being able to eat hot meals on time every day has moved her very much.
I met a lot of students from No. 1 Middle School on the road. I saw Meixiang and knew that she was a new trainee teacher at the school. They all politely called her “Ms. Zhao”.
Mika was very moved when she heard the title “teacher” for the first time and almost cried. For her, as long as the students call her a teacher for one day, she will be their eternal teacher.
The bell of the “Tingling Bell” rang, Meixiang turned around and it was Cui Zongyi.
“Morning, Teacher Zhao.”
Cui Zongyi is a native of Yunxian, and time hasn’t left too much mark on him. He is still so handsome and handsome, and still looks so sunny when smiling, just like the young man in Meixiang’s memory.
The two of them are in the same office. Every day they bow their heads without raising their heads. Mei Xiang and the other teachers are doing well, but Cui Zongyi is always embarrassed to talk to him alone, and feel embarrassed when he gets closer.
Cui Zongyi took the initiative to say hello, and Meixiang nodded with a smile.
“Morning, Teacher Cui.”
I thought he would leave after saying hello, but Cui Zongyi would come down, pushing his bicycle and walking forward with Meixiang.
“you……”
The two spoke at the same time, and they were stunned at the same time when they heard each other’s words.
Cui Zongyi smiled at Meixiang whose cheeks were flushed.
“You speak first.”
Meixiang shook her head after a few seconds, “I don’t know what I have to say, I forgot.”
Cui Zongyi smiled, “Well, you are still the same as before, quiet and not very talkative.”
When he said this, his tone was very gentle, and his eyes were looking at Meixiang. Meixiang is not a little girl who doesn’t understand anything. He turned her head and looked at him in surprise.
First, he didn’t expect him to say this sentence, if it wasn’t for his own sensitivity, it would be ambiguous.
On the other hand, she did not expect Cui Zongyi to have an impression of her. When she was in high school, she was not the top one, because of the introverted relationship, she often did not speak, just like a transparent person.
As for Cui Zongyi, who has a good length and good grades, he is still from the county seat, and a lot of girls like him.
She always thought that such a good boy must have been married early, but he turned out to be unmarried.
In the past few days, the teachers in the office always teased her, saying that they would introduce someone to her, and some teachers put her together with Cui Zongyi.
“Mixiang, our comrade Cui is also a single young man. I heard that you are still high school classmates and you are now in a school. You may wish to consider how fate this is.”

Half a month is not long, not short. In April, Zhao Donglin finally came back, carrying a sack of specialty products, such as walnuts, longans, red dates, dried persimmons, dried peaches, etc. All are good Adults and children love to eat what you eat.
I distributed some to godmother and godfather, and sent some to Meixiang.
“Daughter-in-law, I miss you outside.”
Although the rivers and mountains of the motherland are good, the family is still comfortable. He can be regarded as understanding the artistic conception of the phrase “wife and child hot on the bed”. Obsessed with the warmth of the family.
In the past ten days, Wang Mei has come to take a look from time to time. He has seen Black Egg and Yingbao from afar, and Zhao Donghe Stone, but he has never seen Zhao Donglin.
She had already inquired about the people near Zhao, who had been circumspect, and knew that Zhao Donglin and his second married wife were both students from Wudong University, and they had a very good relationship and had three children.
Everyone knows that Zhao Donglin was divorced. No one knows exactly why he divorced. He also knew that the black egg was not born to the second-married daughter-in-law. He also said that the black egg had good grades, not only skipped grades, but also ranked first in every exam.
However, it is generally not clear that Yingbao did not give birth to the second married daughter-in-law.
Wang Mei came again that day. She hid behind a tree and saw a man in a military green crew-neck shirt doing carpentry in the yard. The muscles on his arms were bulging, full of strength.
Although she hadn’t seen each other for many years, Wang Mei still recognized Zhao Donglin at a glance.
The woman smiled and took a towel to wipe his sweat. Zhao Donglin kissed the back of her hand. The woman smiled and glanced at him. Zhao Donglin looked into the room and saw that no one was paying attention. She was hugging the woman’s waist. After the woman was stressed, Zhao Donglin kissed her on the lips. The woman was obviously angry, punched him on the chest and turned back to the house.
In April, the weather gradually warmed up, but Wang Mei felt that her heart was as cold as winter.
In those years of marriage, when has Zhao Donglin been so close to himself?
Every time they came back from the army to visit relatives, they would always visit relatives and friends. They couldn’t say a few words except under the covers all day long. Unexpectedly, their divorce with him would make him and another woman complete.
The sun was setting, and the evening glow was clear, and the black egg walked home holding Yingbao’s hand, followed by a babbling rock behind him.
“Today, I compared with Chen Dafang. I hit seven, but he only hit three. I was left behind.”
“Jiang Xiaocui’s braids are so long that they kept dangling during class. Today I tied a red hair rope. I solved it. She turned and stared at me. I stared at her. She said she was going to tell the teacher. I said you go, I’m not afraid of you, my brother is Zhao Zhuojun, and then she stopped talking.”
Heidan is a school-like character in the school. He looks delicate and always ranks first. He can win prizes in various competitions.
He does not have the arrogance of a student with good grades in general, and he will patiently explain any questions that his classmates can’t do.
In addition, his clothes are always clean and tidy, and his desks and textbooks are always neat and orderly. He is young and young, and his teenage years are when his love begins. A lot of girls like this kind of boy.
The black egg is two years younger than the girls of the same grade, but he is well developed, taller, and his personality is calm, so he is not significantly younger than other boys of the same grade.
This is the second time that Wang Mei has seen Black Egg, because she just saw Zhao Donglin, and she felt a little unreasonable in her heart, which pulled out her maternal love for Black Egg.
Her gaze followed the children into the yard, and when she saw Jiahui, Yingbao threw off her brother’s hand and rushed into Jiahui’s arms.
“Mom, I miss you so much at school.”
What the father and daughter said was exactly the same, as if buying one get one free.
“Are you good at school today?”
Ying Bao nodded vigorously, “Well, be good, the teacher praised me.”
“Brother, sister!”
Fang Fang ran out of the house, smiling while holding the black egg’s legs, and the black egg bent over and held the twenty-plus kilograms in his arms.
“Go in, I cooked beef noodles today, don’t you all like it.”
“I like to eat whatever my mother does.”
“You little clever, sweet-mouthed grin.”
Ying Bao smiled triumphantly, holding Jiahui’s neck and leaning against Jiahui’s shoulder.
When they all entered the house, Wang Mei moved her stiff leg.
That little girl is her own daughter. When she left by herself, she was still a little big tit. A few years later, the little **** has grown up and has grown into a cute and beautiful little girl, but this little girl takes care of other things. A woman is called “Mom”.
