"I'm very excited. Yuanyuan even introduced me to someone there. He's a comrade of Tan Shaoting, but I didn't like him. I didn't expect that I would get married within a few days of coming back. It's really incredible.
"
"What's the point? Just live your own life from now on. We all hope you can be happy."
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely do it. Now it seems that Zhou Yongbing is still obedient. That's all.
If he is good to me, I will definitely be good to him."
"Well, that's the right thing to think about. Also, you must be filial."
"I don't need you to tell me this. Although I had a bad temper, it was because I was too disappointed with my parents at that time, but I'm older and I regret it now."
"It's good if you understand. My eldest brother actually wants to bring my parents over. He has already written to me."
"It's good to take them over. We are all here, and they will take care of them after they come over."
"My sister is older."
"Yes, actually I have regretted it for a long time. I was too impulsive at that time. I also told Yuanyuan that I won't visit her this year and thought about going back to see her."
Zhao Yanping smiled happily, she has really grown up. This is good. Her parents should have realized it in the past few years.
Jianhua woke up. He is still not very good at turning over, but this child is very lively, but he can't turn over or stop.
When he was about to turn over, Zhao Yanli pulled him.
I saw this child looking at Zhao Yanli aggrievedly.
"Sister, look at Jianhua. He has wronged me."
"Okay. Stop teasing him. You will leave tomorrow. It's better to come back early."
"Well, I understand. The house where I go back to Yuanyuan should be given to Mr. Li. I think Director Feng won't embarrass me.
We will come back after completing the formalities and bring back all the food left behind."
"Well. When you come back, study hard. It would be great to have a formal job. You are also a person who can't sit still. You won't be bored if you have a job."
"Yes, I also want to study hard. I still have a junior high school diploma. Sister, how about you study too. If you pass the exam with me, you might be able to find a job in the future with a diploma."
Zhao Yanping was moved. Yes, she was fine at home now. She had finished reading Xinhua's book. If she had this opportunity, she might as well give it a try.
"Okay, I'll study with you."
"Haha, you and your son will take the exam together then."
"The first day of Xinhua Junior High School."
"If you don't know how, you can ask Xinhua and my eldest brother-in-law."
At this time, they heard noise and both men woke up.
The four of them were playing with the children like this, and Zhao Yanping was studying for the exam together.
Zhou Yongbing actually wanted to take his wife home, but looking at her, he had no intention of doing so.
It's past four o'clock, and it's really getting late. "Xiaoli, let's go home."
"Okay, let's go back. It's time to start cooking at home."
By the time the Zhou couple arrived home, the house had been tidied up and dinner was almost ready.
Zhao Yanli asked Zhou Yongbing about their taste, so they had sorghum rice porridge at night.
In fact, sorghum rice is more popular here, and cooking sorghum rice porridge is very laborious. Even if you want to save fire here, it's mainly because it's too cold.
Boil water in another pot, which is used for washing the family. The thermos bottle is filled first. Then water is added and it is boiled.
Mother Zhou is happy. Now they can have food when they come back, and she is even more satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
Every night, Zhou's father would buy something cooked from the canteen. Today it was steamed buns for Sanhe noodles. Zhao Yanli finally fried cabbage and a bowl of red pickles.
The family sat together to eat. "Xiaoli, don't mind if your dad and we go to work today."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I really don't mind. I can understand."
"That's good. We're thinking of waiting for a few more days for the wedding banquet next month."
"I really understand. By the way, Mom, there are a lot of sauerkraut, pickles, cabbage, and potatoes on the farm.
I brought them all back. What else is missing? Is there anything we can make tofu here? I don’t grow soybeans, but my neighbor does. If I can make tofu, I will bring back a bag of soybeans.”
Father Zhou smiled and said, "Xiao Li, I can make tofu. We have a tofu-making guy in our family. I can also make tofu chips."
"That's good. I got two bags in exchange. Mr. Li's house collected more than ten bags of soybeans, but none of them were sold. Mr. Li also wants to make tofu, saying that eating tofu is good for people's health."
Father Zhou smiled and nodded, "Yes, if you can, I'll bring back two bags. We can still drink soy milk in the morning from now on."
Zhao Yanli nodded, "It's definitely possible." She and Mr. Li have been neighbors for more than two years. Mr. Li is a very generous person.
"By the way, Mom, I'd better buy the pork over there. I guess there are still some pigs killed."
Zhou's mother was pleasantly surprised. In fact, she was really worried about meat. This banquet could not be done without meat. This was the wedding of her only son, and many people from her work unit attended the ceremony.
But there is really no meat. I really don’t want my son’s wedding banquet to be too shabby.
"That's great, Xiaoli, mom will bring you the money."
Zhao Yanli didn't refuse, thinking that her second brother-in-law's pigs were not killed just because they were small, and if they didn't work, she would buy them all herself.
"Xiao Li, how much can I buy?"
"Mom, my second brother's father-in-law's pigs are small this year and I didn't kill them. I heard that they wanted to wait until spring planting time before killing them.
I'm thinking of buying a pig. It's more than 100 kilograms, so I think it's about 100 yuan."
"Xiao Li, Mom will give you two hundred, and we will buy a pig. It happens to be in the water and can be made into cold dishes. There is also meat and fat to eat."
"Okay, I understand, Mom, don't worry about running out of oil to eat. I kept fifty pounds of cottonseed oil and twenty pounds of lard for myself."
"so much?"
"It's okay. I was lazy and raised two pigs last year, so I didn't have much left."
"Xiao Li, is life on the farm so good?"
"Actually, as long as you work hard, you will have a good life. I still have salted duck eggs that I pickled at home. I raise ducks every year."
"Xiao Li, what you said makes me want to live on a farm."
Zhao Yanli smiled, "Mom, you can't adapt to life here. Starting from the spring planting, during the busiest time, you won't sleep for long at night. Almost all of them are in the fields."
"Yes, living on a farm does require work.
But tell your acquaintances that if you leave a pig for us at the end of the year, your three sisters' families and several of our families here will be able to share a pig.
Every year I go to deliver fertilizers, and I come back just in time to buy grain and meat."
