Second Marriage in the 1970s

"Huishan, how was that thing I told you last time?"

Zhang Qiaoer went to work, and when he saw Captain Ding Huaishan on the ground, he dragged him to the willow tree by the river, and asked about his daughter-in-law Dong Jiahui's work.

"It's not that my aunt is looking for something deliberately, but it's my daughter-in-law. The bones are indeed weak, and the arms are not as thick as chopsticks. I am afraid that she can't do well in the field, but she does fine work, so we want people to make the best use of it."

Ding Huaishan is in his 40s and he is a strong man with a small head. Since he was young, he has been particularly mindful. After he became the captain in the competition a few years ago, he made a lot of contributions to the team. At the end of the year, he paid a lot of cash dividends. This is a tangible income.

Zhang Qiao'er is of a big generation, so Ding Huaishan had to call her aunt when Ding Huaishan saw her. There is still a relationship between them. Ding Huaishan's mother was Zhang Qiaoer's little wife when she was young, and only married Ding Huaishan's father after liberation.

"We don't have any easy tasks in our team right now, or let her go to the warehouse as a custodian?"

The easiest thing on the team is the scorer and the accountant, but there are people who do both, and he, the captain, can't take other people's errands away. The team is full of relatives.

As for the custodian, Ding Zhiyong, the son of Ding Huaishan, was the one who worked concurrently before, because Ding Zhiyong was the tractor driver in the team, and the warehouse key was left for him to keep.

Asking Dong Jiahui to be a custodian would not infringe on the interests of others, but would also round out Zhang Qiaoer's favor here. This was the idea that Ding Huaishan came up with all night.

Zhang Qiao'er's request was that the bowl could not fit in the floor, and she was satisfied after she was accepted.

"Sure, go to the warehouse, she will return tomorrow, and I will ask her to find you to get the key the day after tomorrow."

"This coincidental aunt is very good to her new daughter-in-law, and she deliberately seeks an easy job for her. Didn't she mean that this daughter-in-law was divorced and could not have children? How could she be so good to her?"

Zhang Huaishan's daughter-in-law, Da Ping, was tossing wild vegetable seedlings while nagging with her husband.

"I don't know this, it's probably because of the eye catching, or for the sake of Donglin's face."

"Indeed, if it weren't for Dong Lin, how could their family live such a good life? Dong Lin picked this wife himself, and it's normal to treat her better."

The Zhao family was not obvious in the village before, and it was only after Donglin joined the army that it gradually became a well-known family in the village.

On the third day of the wedding, the new wife came back. Zhang Qiaoer helped prepare the door ceremony early in the morning. A hen, her own parents, five kilograms of pork, and she went to the village meat stall in the morning to cut, and there were 20 eggs. , A pack of shortbread, hearty and real.

"Mom, don't take this old hen. I can still lay eggs if I stay at home."

The value of an old hen cannot be measured by the value of meat. This is an old hen who lays eggs every day. The egg is still five cents. If you calculate this way, the value of this chicken will be higher.

"No, take it with you. I have already left the breeding eggs. I will go to Aunt Mu's house to hatch the chicks tomorrow. I think the commune doesn't care about this anymore this year. I plan to hatch a few more eggs this time."

In the past few years, the investigation was strict, and households were not allowed to raise more chickens. This year, the policy was loosened, and no one in the commune would often come down to see who violated the policy. Zhang Qiaoer had the courage to raise eighty and ten chickens.

"Then...thank mom."

Since the mother-in-law really wanted to give it, Dong Jiahui did not refuse. The courtesy at the door was directly related to her status in her in-laws. The more things she brought home, the more assured her life after marriage.

"Oh, why do you thank the family, go back and bring your parents, and your brother and sister-in-law, so that they have time to come and play at home."

Dong Jiahui responded with a smile.

When Dong Jiahui went back to her mother's house and wanted to take the black egg with Ying Bao, when he asked the black egg for his opinion, he didn't really want to go.

Zhao Donglin took the black egg to the room to talk.

"Why don't you want to go, father and new mother are married, this is your mother, mother's natal family is your grandmother's home."

Three days have passed, and Zhao Donglin thinks that he and Jiahui have given the black egg enough patience.

The black egg's tears fell down, and he wiped the tears with the back of his hand.

Zhao Donglin frowned and sighed, stretched out his hand to pull the black egg to his side, took a handkerchief from his pocket and helped the black egg clean his face.

"What are you crying for? I didn't scold you or beat you, but just said a few words to you."

After speaking, Zhao Donglin lowered the volume and asked again, "Then do you want to go?"

The black egg shook his head, tears in his eyes again.

Zhao Donglin nodded and continued to patiently say, "Why? Tell me the reason. If this reason can convince me, then I will respect your opinion."

The black egg continued to remain silent, and Zhao Donglin was not anxious, just sitting on the stool and waiting for him to speak.

He had packed up even so many soldiers, and it didn't make sense that his son couldn't do it.

After two or three minutes of silence, the black egg finally spoke.

"My aunt said, if I recognize my new mother, my mother will never come back."

There was a clear cry in the black egg's voice, and tears fell straight down after speaking, crying in a whirlpool.

Zhao Donglin patted the black egg on the back, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Which aunt said this?"

The black egg hiccuped and said, "Two, two, second aunt."

The black egg called the second aunt is Zheng Yuefen, and Zhao Donglin frowned when he heard that there were younger siblings in it.

"Black egg, your mother will always be your mother, but now she is separated from her father and returned to her familiar place. The new mother is the father's wife. She will take care of you in place of your mother. She will wash you clothes and make them for you. Delicious meals, take care of your life, you can't treat her with this attitude, you should learn to respect her and appreciate her."

Zhao Donglin also hesitated. The reason why he didn't want to say more about Wang Mei's betrayal and abandonment was that he didn't want his son's heart to be filled with hatred.

"Your mother doesn't want you anymore", this kind of statement is very cruel to the child.

Ten minutes later, when Zhao Donglin came out with the ganged black eggs, Dong Jiahui had already changed Ying Bao's clothes.

"have they gone?"

"Yep."

"The black egg should also change clothes. Let's go to the relatives. We must dress neatly."

After marrying a person and returning to her natal family, even if she left relatives, after changing the black egg into the new clothes Jiahui made for him, the family of four went to Dayu Village.

"I saw your new sister-in-law today. Did you take your nephew and niece back to your natal home?"

Zhang Yulan talked with Zheng Yuefen together at work.

"Um."

"I think they have brought a lot of things. There is a chicken hanging on the faucet of the car, and there is also a basket full of dangdang, and you can vaguely see meat and shortbread."

But after a face-to-face meeting, Zhang Yulan could see so clearly, if Dong Jiahui heard it, she would have to admire Zhang Yulan.

When she mentioned this Zheng Yuefen, she was angry. This morning she was dissatisfied when she saw her mother-in-law preparing a gift for her new sister-in-law. When she married Donghe Huimen, her mother-in-law didn’t prepare so many things for her, but eggs and meat. That's it.

She joked with her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law said that her sister-in-law's mother-in-law married a sewing machine, and she should prepare a thicker gift in return.

Just one sentence choked Zheng Yuefen.

What do you mean, blame her family for not accompanying the sewing machine?

Zheng Yuefen knew that it shouldn’t be a big deal. Just like her mother-in-law said, the new sister-in-law’s dowry is indeed thicker than her own. Not only is it a sewing machine, but also a bed and a few bedding. The Zhao family’s gift money is also included. When I came back, when I first married Donghe, not only did my natal family not prepare any dowry, but also did not give her the gift money, leaving it to the younger brother to take the daughter-in-law.

Zhang Yulan saw that Zheng Yuefen was only unhappy but did not speak, wondering why she was so calm today, and she lit the fire again, "Oh, by the way, there is something else you don't know if you know."

"What's the matter?"

"Your mother-in-law found the captain and asked the captain to arrange a light job for your sister-in-law, saying that your sister-in-law is weak and squeamish, and can only do the delicate work, and the work in the field can't do it. No, the captain arranges your sister-in-law to do it. The warehouseman."

After Zhang Yulan finished speaking, Zheng Yuefen was about to explode, this time she was really angry.

The same daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law treats her with two different hearts. She came in earlier than Dong Jiahui, and gave birth to a fat grandson in the Zhao family. Dong Jiahui was just the second married couple who had just married in. The mother-in-law treated her so well!

At the other end, Zhao Donglin rode for thirty minutes to reach the end of Dayu Village, and met several villagers on the way.

"Hey, isn't that the daughter of Dagui's family."

"Yes, the one who just married to the Zhao family in Shanghe Village two days ago."

"The one riding the bike is her man. I heard that it is the village party secretary of Shanghe Village?"

"Will you come back with your children?"

"The child was left by the man's first daughter-in-law, who was an educated youth in the city, who was divorced and went back to the city."

"Oh, both of them are divorced."

The hammer was sent by his milk to the entrance of the village to wait. When he saw Zhao Donglin's car, he ran here in a hurry.

"Aunt, uncle, here you are, grandma has been waiting all morning."

The black egg sat on the front bar and looked at the hammer running over, obviously curious about him.

Dong Jiahui jumped from the back seat holding Yingbao and said with a smile, "Grandma sent you to wait, didn't you?"

"Yes, I took the task."

Dong Jiahui smiled and scolded, "You little clever ghost, you must know that there is something delicious waiting for me."

She took a few candies from her bag and gave the hammer to him, and said, "Hey, here you are, you rush back and tell grandma that we will be there soon."

The hammer took the task and ran away.

Zhao Donglin smiled, "This hammer is quite interesting."

"It's too skinny, you have to teach it well."

Dong Jiahui had already got out of the car and walked with Yingbao, Zhao Donglin also got out of the car and pushed his bicycle to accompany Dong Jiahui.

"Boys have to be skinny, the more skinny the better."

Like when he was a child, although he studied well, he did all the mischievous things. Think about it when he was really happy.

This kind of joy continued until he entered the barracks, where he honed his composure and learned a lot of truths during the day-to-day training. During the Chinese New Year, he had a New Year’s Eve dinner together in the barracks, and their recruits gathered together and saw Everyone sighed with the changes, but within a few months, everyone had undergone earth-shaking changes, and they had grown up in an instant. They are no longer the teenagers who swim and fish in the summer and go up the mountain to catch pheasants in the winter.

Let’s talk about his son, the black egg. He never came back and found that the black egg was not talkative. He went to the ground with his grandma every day, and he didn’t look for friends of the same age to play. Zhao Donglin sometimes felt that this was not good. Nothing, as long as there is no danger.

Dong Jiahui glanced at Zhao Donglin, "What is better, the skin is better, there is no scientific reason at all."

"Yeah, you still talk to me about science."

"Why, I don't think I am a rural woman worthy to talk about science with your village party secretary, right?"

"That's not the case. I just think what you said makes sense. You shouldn't be buried in the house as a housewife."

Dong Jiahui snorted, "That is."

In modern times, I am also a graduate student who develops moral, intellectual, physical, art, and labor in an all-round way.

When the two talked, they arrived at Dong's house. Dong Jiahui was holding Yingbao in her hand, and Zhao Donglin was carrying a black egg in the car, and the four of them entered the yard.

"Sister and sister-in-law are here."

"Donglin is here."

The family greeted them, and the four of them were instantly surrounded.

"This is a black egg, isn't this Yingbao? How good are the two children, how beautiful and neat they are."

Zhao Donglin took the black egg from the car and put it on the ground. The black egg leaned on Zhao Donglin's legs and looked at the ground without speaking. It was Yingbao. He looked at him with round eyes, but he didn't recognize him at all.

Chen Guixiang loves little girls, and takes Ying Bao from Dong Jiahui's hands.

"This little girl looks so good, she looks like two sisters to our sweet girl."

"No, I think Ying Bao is a lot like Sweet Girl, both of them hurt."

Zhou Yindi held the black egg by the hand and touched his head and said, "The black egg is about the same size as Xiaoman, come in, come in, and my aunt will give you something delicious."

The black egg hesitated, turned his head and looked at Zhao Donglin, and saw Zhao Donglin nodding to him before following Zhou Yindi.

Jiahui's three brothers accompany Zhao Donglin to chat, while Chen Guixiang took Dong Jiahui back to the house with Yingbao in his arms.

"How is it, how is the Zhao family treating you?"

In fact, Chen Guixiang knew the gift of returning to the door. It was not a light one. I heard that grandma Dong Jiahui had prepared it herself.

"fine."

Dong Jiahui told Chen Guixiang about her life in Zhao's family. Chen Guixiang nodded in satisfaction.

"Just be nice to you. I don't think your mother-in-law is like that kind of unreasonable. I have visited before and she is not bad to the daughter-in-law at home. Otherwise, even if you agree, I will not dare to marry you."

Dong Jiahui stopped talking, not knowing whether to tell Chen Guixiang or not. Although it is a very personal matter, it is related to the original owner. As the original owner's mother, Chen Guixiang is also qualified to know the truth. After all, the original owner committed suicide for this jump. Well, although she came here later, the original owner is gone after all.

"What's the matter, just say anything, don't hide it."

Chen Guixiang thought it was something wrong with the Zhao family when she saw her daughter doing this, and quickly asked.

"It's not about the Zhao family, that is, this is my first time with Donglin. I didn't know much before, and I didn't have any trouble with the surnamed Lu."

"What?!"

Chen Guixiang’s voice went up to an octave, shocking Ying Bao in her arms. She patted Ying Bao on the back and asked anxiously, “What do you mean by what you just said? Lu's slept?"

Chen Guixiang used the word "sleep" to make Dong Jiahui embarrassed. She nodded awkwardly. Chen Guixiang stood up and Ying Bao was frightened again. Dong Jiahui saw her doing this and held Ying Bao in her arms.

"That is to say, you didn't get pregnant, it's not that you had any problems, it's that the surnamed Lu didn't touch you at all!"

Dong Jiahui nodded, it should be, or it can't explain it.

"This surnamed Lu, okay, pour dirty water on you. Pooh, let's see if I will fix him to death."

"Mom, I'll just tell you that you don't want to find him anymore. To be honest, I don't want to have anything to do with that kind of people. I'm living well with Donglin now, I don't want to be out of line."

Chen Guixiang choked and sighed.

"Right."

She took Dong Jiahui's hand, her heart was mixed, her eyes were hot again.

"I've been worrying for the past few days, I'm afraid that you will have a bad life. If you have a long life and two shortcomings, it will really kill me."

She looked at her girl, her hair was jet-black, her eyes were shiny, her skin was hydrated and glowing, and the corners of her mouth were always smiling, and she had a wonderful time.

"I'm finally relieved."

Knowing this, apart from disgusting the Lu family, he couldn't help being happy for her daughter. She knew that a man, no matter how he didn't care about his mouth, he must still have a bit of a thorn in his heart. Now it's okay, the thorn in the son-in-law's heart is gone.

"You said why you are so confused, blame me, I didn't teach you well at the beginning, so that you didn't understand anything and got married."

The girl was too young, and she married into Lu's family at the age of eighteen.

When Chen Guixiang went back to the kitchen, the whole eyebrows were open and smiled. Several sister-in-laws teased Dong Jiahui and said, "It seems that Jiahui and her brother-in-law have had a good time after marriage, otherwise Mom can't be so happy."

"That's not it, I brought an old hen, five pounds of pork belly, eggs, and shortbread. What are the things here? Isn't it satisfied with Jiahui?"

"Our family is not bad, we started to eat early in the morning, so it's not on my brother-in-law's face."

Zhou Yindi smiled and cut a piece of marinated pig's heart and put it in Yingbao's mouth, "How about these two children, I think that boy is a little talkative."

She just took the black egg to find Xiaoman, let the children in the family play with the black egg, and also brought him some food.

"It's okay on the whole, maybe you can't accept it at once, after all, he still has a lot of affection for his mother."

"Hey, it's said that the stepmother is not easy. If you take it well, no one will say it is good. If you don't take it well, you will be told by others."

"I'm nothing, I'm used to talking about it anyway."

Whoever does not talk about people behind, whoever is behind will not be talked about.

Isn't that the way to live life? Dong Jiahui has already figured out a set of her own life rules, which is to live her own life, let others talk about it. I have a better life, no matter what others say, I won’t lose a piece of meat anyway.

A few sisters-in-law didn't dare to take up the matter of Jiahui before, so they changed other topics directly, but Chen Guixiang sighed inwardly, sighing for good luck.

Who would have thought that Jiahui had not given birth to such a thing? If she had known it earlier, she would have picked up the **** in the Lu family's house and made their family uneasy.
