Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1072 The taste of life

After the wedding, Yu Min ended her nineteen-year virginity and started a new married life with Nuo.

Yu Min is a good young man who is sincere to others. Now that he is married, he will naturally live a good life.

Nuo is also a good woman. She is devoted to him and is very hardworking. She cleans up the simple stilted building and picks all kinds of flowers to decorate their new house.

Although Yu Min is dull, she is quite delicate. On the way home from work every day, I would pick some flowers for her. That’s the good thing about Yunnan. There are so many flowers that bloom all year round, and you can pick them in abundance.

Seeing the flowers her husband brought back, her big, waxy eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.

She would happily kiss him, then take the flowers and put them in the vase. That vase was actually the wine jar they drank from during their wedding...

Next, Nuo would pour him a large cup of herbal tea, and then fill a basin of water for him to wash himself off.

By the time Yu Min stood on the balcony and washed the dirt off her body, hot meals were already on the table...

Nuo was a little worried at first, worried that her husband would not be used to it since she could only cook Baiyi food. Moreover, the eating habits of the two ethnic groups are different. The Bai Yi like to eat raw, cold and sour food, while the Han people like to eat hot soup and rice.

On a night when the autumn wind was whining and the cold stars were lonely, Nuo timidly told Yu Min that in fact, her father was not a fire head at all. Her natal family was just an ordinary family who fled to the mountains to take refuge during the war last year.

Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still serious about learning various Jiangnan foods from the Han military relatives who came with the army. She was clever and handy, and quickly learned how to make rice noodles and bait cubes that no one in Yunnan knew how to make. She gradually changed the food on the table into Jiangnan style to satisfy her husband.

But soon she realized that she was worrying too much, and Yu Min was not picky about food at all. He was used to eating pig food in the army, so whatever she cooked seemed delicious to him. No matter whether it is cold, sour or raw, you can eat everything that is served.

Moreover, the advantage of the language barrier is that the two of them will not quarrel because of the bumps in life. I don’t want to, I really don’t have the ability...

But after the fire in the stilted building goes out, the whole house will make a violent creaking and shaking sound. This is also an important way of communication for young couples, maybe even the most important way of communication.

Relying on the honeymoon period of newlyweds, they managed to get through the initial running-in period and gradually became a tacit understanding. Perhaps because of 'silent communication', they now know what the other person is thinking just by looking at each other's expressions. Just by looking at each other, you know what the other person wants to do.

They are also trying to learn each other's language. Of course, Nuo mainly focuses on learning Chinese. After a few months, Nuo was able to hold simple conversations with Han people.

In fact, when Yu Min comes home from work every day, there are people who know how cold it is and how hot she is, and she has hot soup and rice to eat, which makes Yu Min very satisfied. This life is much better than before!

The first problem facing this young couple is the language barrier. The two of them could basically communicate through gestures and eye contact. Sometimes throughout the night, there would be almost no movement in the stilted building until the pond fire was extinguished.

Of course, the married life of young couples is not without difficulties.

Moreover, the young couple had established a tacit understanding before, and now with the addition of simple vocabulary, the content of communication has reached a higher level, and they can even start to talk.

Her father and Ache were old acquaintances, and they settled in the mountains under each other's care.

But the land in the mountains was barren and there was no tribe to rely on, so the family lived a very difficult life.

At this time, Ache came to her father and told him that his brother-in-law, who was a high-ranking official in the Ming army, asked him to help his young officers find a well-matched wife.

Archie told her father that although the young officer was not as good as her brother-in-law, he was still a serious court official. With such a backer, how could he still worry about food and clothing?
Her father saw with his own eyes that Archie's status in various ministries rose rapidly after he became an officer's wife. Now, in the entire Songmeng Prefecture, Aqie is the most popular. Her father was very moved and agreed.

But Ache was worried that people thought her family had no status and looked down upon her. He convinced her that her father had deliberately exaggerated his family's identity.

Her father was worried that his secret would be revealed. But Archer said, no, Han people are the best to save face. When you find something is wrong when you are welcoming the bride, you will consider yourself unlucky and will not make a big deal out of it. They think that would be more embarrassing.

~~
"It's my father... he wanted to get married so much that he lied to you. If you're angry, just divorce me..."

After Nuo summoned up the courage to say what was on her mind, two lines of tears already flowed down her fair oval face. I felt pity for her pitiful look.

"No matter how you deal with me, I have no complaints..."

After hearing this, Yu Min didn't take it seriously at all. He hugged his wife and said, "I fall in love with you because of you as a person, not because of your identity. As long as you are good to me, none of that matters."

Love words spoken by dull people are the most deadly. Nuo's whole body felt hot after hearing this. She hugged him tightly and said, "I will be good to you for the rest of my life..."

Before she finished speaking, Yu Min blocked her soft lips with hers, and she could only make a whining sound.

That night, the stilted building shook extremely violently...

~~
After the young couple started talking, their relationship went to the next level. Yu Min simply asked Nuo to bring all of her natal family to the Hundred Household Station to settle down.

At this time, the military families who came to reunite with the mainland, as well as the newly established families of the soldiers, had already settled outside the Baihusuo military camp, forming a large village.

Yu Min's father-in-law moved his family here at this time and was able to find some space to build a house.

Moreover, the one hundred acres of land under Yu Min's name cannot be cultivated by him and his wife. According to the regulations of the Dusi Yamen, after the land is divided, if it is not cultivated within five years, Qianhu will have to take it back.

So he still needs help. Of course, these raw and wastelands cannot be harvested within two or three years.

However, he has a stipend and salary, and can barely feed his family.

Fortunately, Nuoniang's family is also very hard-working. His father-in-law and three brothers-in-law worked with him in the fields day and night, while his mother-in-law and four sisters-in-law worked with Nuo to pick up some handicrafts from the cooperative to supplement the family income.

The cooperative is said to be the prince's idea, and its full name is 'military-civilian cooperative'. To put it simply, the military logistics department entrusts the production of required military uniforms, footwear, ropes, gun shafts, arrow poles and other materials that are in high demand but have little technical content through such an organization to military families and the public.

This can not only greatly reduce the pressure on the Dusi Yamen to raise military supplies, but also help the soldiers and people to subsidize their families. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

With this subsidy, it will not be a problem for everyone to eat.

The family raised chickens and ducks downstairs, and planted vegetables in front of and behind the house. During the autumn harvest, the soybeans in the fields are taken back and pressed for oil. This is another good income, which is enough for the Chinese New Year.

When this young man from the mainland was about to turn twenty, he finally felt the taste of life for the first time in this colorful cloud.
