After that, Ruan Xiuxiang came to Su's house almost every day to take care of Nan Bing.
This incident first spread throughout Luohu Village and then reached Shangtang Village within two days.
Everyone laughed at Captain Ruan for failing to educate his daughter well. How could a girl who was not engaged, had no status and no status just let her go to a man's house? What if the Su family refused to admit their fault and wanted their Axiang?
Ruan Xiuxiang's eldest brother-in-law, Zhao Zhongshi, listened to the villagers' discussion and joined in the booing with everyone, "Yes, Dad, this Axiang really needs to be taken care of, it is too embarrassing for our family..."
"Where is my daughter so embarrassed?"
Ruan Dazhi couldn't stand listening anymore. He slammed the table and not only pointed at Zhao Zhongshi's nose and scolded him, but also said directly in front of the whole village: "My Axiang and Su Nanbing are in love!
What's so embarrassing? Why is it so embarrassing for two young people to fall in love freely?"
The villagers looked at each other, "Free love?"
Ruan Dazhi said loudly: "Don't you know that the new society advocates free love? Otherwise, how can we say that you are uneducated? You never read books or newspapers. No wonder you can't hold your head up when you go to the city, and you are called a country bumpkin and a bumpkin!"
After scolding everyone, he slammed the door and said to his daughter: "Ignore them. Dad supports you. If you like that Sunan Bing, if you want to see him, go and see him."
"Dad, you are so kind and open-minded!" Ruan Xiuxiang hugged her father happily.
Later, the two families got engaged successfully, and the whole engagement ceremony was very lively.
According to the woman's request, the Su family brought oil cakes, white noodles, rice and other items early in the morning and followed the matchmaker Aunt Xu to Ruan's house. They invited close relatives, friends and respected elderly people in the village to celebrate together, and set off firecrackers.
A few days later, Su Nanbing went to the military academy, and Axiang came to Su's house every now and then to help Bailu. She called her "Mom" so sweetly that she looked like a daughter-in-law.
Jinbao, Xiaosi and Xiaowu all also like this laughing second sister-in-law.
Because the relationship between Xie Shuting and the Su family was at loggerheads, Hua Wenli, as her friend, felt awkward staying in the Su family. Fortunately, the educated youth dormitory was quickly built and all the educated youth moved into the new dormitory.
At the end of the year, Su Nanbing married Axiang as agreed and held a particularly grand wedding.
On their first day of marriage, Xie Shuting suddenly came to Su's house early in the morning and apologized to both of them.
"I'm going back to Nanchang in two days. I've always had a knot in my heart this year. I just feel I'm sorry for you. I'm really sorry. Regardless of whether you forgive me or not, I just want to formally tell you.
A 'sorry'..."
Ruan Xiuxiang took her hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have forgiven you a long time ago, and so has Nan Bing."
"Great!" Xie Shuting seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, "Congratulations to you, I hope you will always be together."
After saying that, she apologized to the rest of the Su family, especially saying "I'm sorry" to Bai Lu several times, "Aunt Bai, Wen Li and I are very grateful to you for taking such good care of us before, especially Wen Li, she really likes you.
.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, Bai Lu stopped her, turned back to the kitchen, cut a piece of rice cake and wrapped it for her, "Take it home and give it to your parents and grandpa to try."
Xie Shuting was moved and said: "Thank you Aunt Bai."
A group of educated youth left, and a group of new people soon came...
Time passed quickly. Two years later, the Su family received a letter from Zhiyuan and learned that Damei had given birth to a son.
Su Jianmin and Bai Lu were very happy to become grandparents. They wanted to see what their grandson looked like. Unfortunately, it was too far away and the ticket was too expensive. Zhiyuan could not bring their children. They also had to take care of Jinbao's children.
, and can’t get away from going to the oil field.
Another year later, their second eldest son and Axiang also gave birth to a son.
"I guessed it," Su Jianmin said, "the second child is indeed a son."
Su Xiaowu joked: "Maybe the third brother can have a daughter."
"Your third brother hasn't even revealed his horoscope yet. When I came back a few days ago, I asked him if he had a partner, and he said no. I asked him to arrange a blind date for him, but he refused to agree."
Bai Lu smiled and said: "Wen Nian doesn't want to marry a wife yet, let him do it."
"He's not young either, he's 21 years old, and his job is stable now. I feel like I can find someone."
Jinbao said: "I asked my third brother, and he actually doesn't like his current job in the production team very much. He also wants to take the college entrance examination and go to university. He doesn't seem to be very interested in falling in love and marrying a wife."
"The college entrance examination? How many years has it been since the college entrance examination was abolished? I'm afraid there won't be a college entrance examination in the future. Why hasn't he given up yet?"
"It will happen," Jinbao said with great certainty, "the college entrance examination will definitely resume, but we just have to wait patiently for a few more years."
Hearing what his daughter said so confidently, Su Jianmin nodded, "Okay, then he can study if he wants to. The main thing is that your third brother's workplace is close to home. We can often bring him something to take care of him when we go to town. He is late."
It’s okay to get married a little bit.”
"What about me?" Su Xiaosi joked, "Dad, when will you arrange a blind date for me?"
Su Jianmin pushed Xiaosi's head away, "All the girls in the nearby villages are afraid of you. Who dares to go on a blind date with you?"
Eighteen-year-old Su Xiaosi is exceptionally handsome and sweet-tongued, and often flirts with pretty girls.
Young girls are often made to laugh with just a few words from him, and her branches are trembling with laughter. He often says: "Do you like me? Then I will marry you..."
Over time, his reputation for hooking up with girls spread among the surrounding villages.
Su Jianmin was worried that he would not be able to find a wife in the future, so he went around looking for a job for him.
It happened that a new state-owned milk factory opened nearby and was recruiting people, so he signed up for Xiaosi without even thinking about it.
Su Xiaosi was so smooth-talking that he passed the interview easily and officially became a member of the dairy factory. However, he found the salary low and the work boring, tedious and repetitive, so he quit after less than half a year.
Later, Su Jianmin went around looking for connections and asked for help, and then he got Su Xiaosi back in.
Time soon came to 1975, when Jinbao was fourteen years old.
The rural primary school was opened three miles away from Luohu Village. Children under the age of fifteen could go to study and learn to read. Luo Youlong found the Su family and said that he had signed up Jinbao and let her study in the school.
"Thank you, Uncle Luo, I won't go," Jin Bao waved his hand and said, "I've already rotted through the elementary school books, so I don't need to study anymore."
"Hey, Jin Bao, you are so smart. It is really a waste to come to our village without reading and writing."
Luo Youlong sighed, drank two sips of tea with Su Jianmin, and planned to leave.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Isn't there little work for the production team recently?" Su Jianmin asked.
"The educated youth will be coming in two days. I have to prepare well and tidy up the place where he lives..."
