The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

"These are the photos I took in the imperial capital, some from my grandma's house, some from my university, and some scenic spots in the imperial capital."

While talking, Liu Jing took out the dozens of photos in the envelope, and they were all in color.

"My sister helped me to wash it, and it's not cheap to wash the photos." She put the seven or eight photos above on the kang, "Look, this is my grandma's house."

Seeing these photos, Liu Yongtao, his wife and Liu Gang were taken aback. Is this really a house? Instead of the house of a rich family in ancient times?

Looking at the nine-twist and eighteen-bend Chaoshou verandah, the two-storey wooden building with two entrances, the spacious lotus pond and the lake pavilion, and the comfortable big bed that makes people dare not lie down. The bed, as well as the clean and tidy bathroom and the bathtub in which they can lie and soak, simply refreshed their brains.

Although I have seen it on TV, the scenes in the photos were all taken by Liu Jing herself.

"Sister, is it really our grandma's house?" Liu Gang took the photo and liked it very much, "Have you ever lived in grandma's house?"

"I'm here. I have to stay for one night every week. I live in this room." Liu Jing pointed to the photo of the bedroom. , I was in one of the guest rooms on the other side, but after the guest room was gone, grandma left it to me, and our uncle, aunt and Ruirui lived in the back, and our sister's room was also in the back."

After Liu Jing finished speaking, she also introduced photos of various tourist attractions such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Beihai and Jingshan to them one by one.

"Xiaobao will take the high school entrance examination next year. After the examination, let's go to the imperial capital as a family. Grandma said, there will be a place to live when we go." Liu Jing turned to look at Xiaobao, and then put her school photos on the Kang Shang said, "You must be admitted to high school, otherwise you will have no chance to go to college in the future. Not for our parents, but for yourself, you have to study hard, you know? I will give you extra lessons during the Chinese New Year. "

When Liu Gang saw these photos, his heart was itching for a long time. He also wanted to go to the imperial capital to study university with his sister, and also wanted to live at his grandma's house, and he also wanted to see the scenes in these photos.

"Sister, you have to help me." He looked at Liu Jing pleadingly.

Liu Jing nodded, "Don't worry, you have an exam tomorrow. After you finish the exam, I will make up lessons for you this winter vacation. Although it is only half a month, you are not stupid. Back then, I took you from the bottom to the bottom in one summer vacation. The second is to reach the middle level, which means that you are still quite like our grandma, in order to be admitted to high school, you must work hard, three years later, my sister will be waiting for you in the imperial capital."

"I will definitely work hard. I will hang my head on the beam and stab my ass." Liu Gang's heart is full of enthusiasm at this time, and he can't wait to take the high school entrance examination tomorrow, no, tomorrow to take the college entrance examination.

Liu Yongtao and Cui Ping couldn't help being happy to see that Liu Gang, who has always been leisurely, was finally stimulated to take the initiative to learn.

They all believe that Xiaobao is not stupid, Niuniu learned from them as parents, they can't help, it is her own efforts all the time, Xiaobao is her own brother, he is definitely not stupid, just a little lazy.

Liu Jing stuffed the photo into Liu Gang's hands, and then handed the two sets of cosmetics to Cui Ping.

"Auntie, this is a cosmetic developed by my sister's company. The effect is particularly good. Don't forget to use it every day, and your skin will turn white soon. This set costs eight or nine hundred yuan. It is so expensive that the supply is in short supply. Many foreigners come here to buy."

Cui Ping took the cosmetics with trembling hands, she couldn't help but be shocked, a set of eight or nine hundred yuan, and there are only four bottles in a set, the amount of each bottle is not much, but the box is very beautiful, It's probably worth a lot, right?

It's great that their family can make a net profit of eight or nine hundred a year now, and her set of cosmetics is higher than the family's annual harvest? How could her face be so expensive?

Liu Jing took out a bottle of half-used aloe vera night cream from her bag, unscrewed it, dug out a little bit from it, felt it on the back of Cui Ping's hand, and slowly rubbed it open for her.

"This is a night cream. Apply some after washing your face every night. After ten and a half months, your face will be dry and moist." After finishing speaking, he took out the other three bottles inside, "This is the essence water." , This is lotion, this is day cream, after washing your face in the morning, apply it layer by layer smoothly according to this."

"Why? So many layers of paint? Is it uncomfortable on the unblurred face?" Liu Yongtao interrupted.

"No, it's not uncomfortable at all, it feels refreshing after applying it, and I guarantee that after using this set, my aunt's skin will become very good."

"Like a big girl like you?" Liu Yongtao really felt that these things were useless and a waste of money.

Although it didn't cost money and was given for nothing, the price was too intimidating.

"Dad, you are really demanding. You definitely can't be like me. My aunt is so old now, but she must look much younger than my second aunt, and she is also much whiter."

Liu Yongtao didn't say anything, and Cui Ping was very happy when she heard the effect.

She is not as comfortable as the sister-in-law next door. She hardly works in the fields at ordinary times, and she is vain and fat.

But listening to Niuniu say that she looks younger than Yang Xiaoqin, although she has no desire to compare, as a woman, she always likes to be younger than her peers.

In this way, everyone in the family got something. The two children got two sets of new clothes, Liu Yongtao got two packs of cigarettes with filters, and Cui Ping got two sets of high-end cosmetics. This year can be regarded as more comfortable than anyone in the village. up.

But tomorrow Liu Yongtao is going to send two packs of cigarettes to the master carpenter in the village. After all, his skills were taught by his old man.

Send two cans of canned food and two sausages, which means that the master is not short of money at ordinary times, after all, his craftsmanship is the first in all directions.

"Keep away the cosmetics. Don't let my second aunt see that you took them away. It's okay to say when I'm at home, but don't let her bully you when I'm not. If she comes to find fault, you can just go back, don't worry about it." Scared." Liu Jing and Cui Ping said.

Cui Ping felt so warm when she said that. The kindness she had been to Liu Jing and Liu Gang all these years was not in vain. Although she was a stepmother, it was enough to fully integrate into this family.

"Don't worry, a set of eight or nine hundred, I'm not even willing to use it myself, I won't give it to others."

"Auntie, don't use it. It will break if you leave it alone. These two sets are enough for you to use for more than half a year. If you use them carefully, they may last for a year."

"I know."

As soon as the new year is over, Ningrui Real Estate and Sumei Cosmetics are all on holiday. Li Yuwei also packed her things that day, and drove to her hometown with the fruits, fresh fish and canned food that Xu Ning gave her.

The work was completely free, so Xu Ning stayed in Nianguitang all day until the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when he closed the shop, gave Xiaofang and the others red envelopes, and returned to Xu's house with Xie Zheng. Mr. Jiang and his wife had already come It's been a while.

In the past few years, they have been at Xu's family for the New Year. After all, Xu's family is very popular, but they still feel a little deserted at Jiang's family.

"Brother-in-law, will you give me a big red envelope this year?" Xu Rui asked loudly as soon as Xie Zheng entered.

Xie Zheng looked at his brother-in-law, "Where did you rank in this year's exam?"

"First!" Xu Rui stretched out his index finger, looking at the expression on his face, he was not particularly excited. Anyway, the first place in the exam is a common thing.

"Okay, I'll give you a bigger red envelope this year." Xie Zheng nodded.

"How old is it?" Xu Rui asked curiously.

"This number?" Xie Zheng stretched out three fingers, "This is my monthly living expenses."

Xu Rui's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Xie Zheng enviously, "My sister is so kind to you, she actually gives you three hundred dollars a month, and my mother only gives me ten dollars."

"... I am thirty per month, not three hundred!" Xie Zheng felt that he was not much better than his brother-in-law.

He gave Xu Ning his monthly salary, and then Xu Ning would put two hundred yuan in a drawer at home every month as this month's living expenses, and anyone who had no money would take it.

Although Xie Zheng drives his own car, the unit can reimburse the fuel cost every month, and there is no need to spend money for meals in the army. Xie Zheng doesn't smoke or drink. In fact, thirty yuan can't be spent, unless it is to be with Colleagues from the unit have dinners, but the dinners are also divided equally, and no one can do everything, otherwise they may be taken for granted in the future.

Xu Rui blinked, and suddenly changed his words: "I'm still a child, and my mother only gives me ten yuan a month. My sister is so strict with you?"

"Brother-in-law has money and no place to spend it, so I'll give it to you." Xie Zheng patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, "Although the family is well-off, you can't just spend money casually, you know?"

"Know."

Xu Rui is really not the kind of person who spends money recklessly. He can't spend all the living expenses of ten yuan a month. He eats in the school cafeteria at noon, and there is a meal card for eating in the cafeteria. All meals are drawn from the meal card. Let's go, the ten yuan is pocket money.

Xu Ning helped put the food on the table, seeing the mysterious way the two said, he greeted him, "Stop mumbling, wash your hands and eat."

"Did you eat hot pot at noon today? Sister, do you have wide noodles?" Xu Rui quickly stepped forward to look at the boiled dishes, and was immediately disappointed when he didn't find wide noodles.

"Yes, it's in the kitchen. Grandma made it. Go wash your hands."

"Okay, brother-in-law, let's go."

At the dinner table, everyone's noses were sweating.

In fact, in winter, there is nothing more comfortable than having a hot pot meal with the family.

Qin Xuejuan drank a glass of fruit juice at room temperature, and said to Xu Ning: "I heard that Chen Qianwen, who was married later than you, is pregnant with a child, are you really not in a hurry?"

Xu Ning suddenly looked up at his mother, "Sister Chen is pregnant?"

"Yes, they got married in August, and the child is now three and a half months pregnant."

Xu Ning frowned slightly, turned to look at Xie Zheng, he also looked thoughtful.

Naturally, she would not think that there was any imbalance in Brother Zheng's heart. In fact, Xie Zheng wanted to have more of a two-person world on her side, and the two of them also decided to have a child next year.

It's just that the two of them are thinking about Chen Qianwen's illness.

"Brother Zheng, let's invite Senior Sister Chen and her husband out for a get-together." Xu Ning and Xie Zheng said.

"Okay!" Xie Zheng nodded.

The other people around naturally didn't know what these two people were thinking, they only thought that Xu Ning wanted to please Chen Qianwen.

"Are you two planning to have a baby?" Gao Xiulan's eyes began to light up.

Xu Ning nodded with a smile, "Yes, we want it next year. We decided to want it next year before we got married."

"That's good, that's good." The six elders were all happy from ear to ear.

"Then what, we will only ask this once, and we won't rush you in the future, but you have to hurry up." After Gao Xiulan said that, she completely shut her mouth.

She also knew that she always opened her mouth and shut up talking about the child, and the young couple must be annoyed, because they were elders and couldn't vent.

Xie Zheng told her before that if you want a child, you have to maintain a happy mood, otherwise it will be difficult to conceive.

But as they get older, they just like to babble, and they don't want to be annoying, but sometimes they can't control their mouths, so what's the matter?

At night, in their bedroom, Xu Ning came out of the shower, while Xie Zheng was reading a military newspaper.

"Brother Zheng, ask them out early next year. Although Senior Chen may not have noticed it yet, it is good to take precautions early."

"Do you think there are cancer cells in her body now?" Xie Zheng asked.

"It should be impossible now, but she still needs to go to the hospital for regular checkups. Cancer cells can divide indefinitely in a suitable environment. Normal cells can only divide fifty or sixty times in a lifetime, so cancer cells are also called immortal." cells, and cancer cells cannot be detected unless they reach a certain number..." After Xu Ning and Xie Zheng popularized it, they said: "I don't know whether the water and food in the space can play a role, but at present This is the only way, even if it is not detected, let her often go to read and return to the hall for dinner, she is a good person, she should not have died so early."

"Yeah!" Xie Zheng nodded, "I will tell her when the time comes, after she gives birth to the child, let them sit with you."

Pregnant women can't eat casually. It can make a proud woman like Chen Qianwen marry willingly and conceive a child so soon, which shows that Chen Qianwen likes Du Yuanhang very much, and naturally attaches great importance to the child in her womb. The family will not let Chen Qianwen eat casually outside.

This Spring Festival, Li Yuwei and Zhang Meng, who are related to Xu Ning, caused a sensation after returning home.

First of all, Li Yuwei, it is said that just after graduating from university, she drove home in a car, and it was her own. This made the people in the Li family very excited, and even the people in the village came to ask Li Yuwei's mother. , wanting to be a matchmaker for Li Yuwei.

Some introduced the cadres of the town, some introduced the teachers of the school, etc., but they were all rejected by Li Yuwei's mother, but the girl told her that she had someone she liked outside, and she would bring it back to her next year Check it out.

Sister-in-law Li Yuwei saw her sister-in-law driving a car back, and the next morning, she and her mother-in-law took the family into the car and went to the town to buy new year's goods. She learned that the car was allocated by the boss of her company. I'm happy for my sister-in-law.

When she married into the Li family, my sister-in-law had already gone to university in the imperial capital, and she didn't need to spend money to go to university. Very unusual.

Because the eldest brother of the Li family has two younger brothers, and his father is gone, life is actually quite difficult, and because there is a sister-in-law who is studying in college, she is willing to marry, and life at home is very hard. , She also has a younger brother, who bends down to work like a cow all day long at home, and often does not look good in the eyes of her parents. After all, girls in the countryside really don't care much.

But she lived happily in the Li family. Although she was still very tired, at least she got along well with her mother-in-law. Her husband knew how to cherish her, and her two younger uncles were also very sensible.

Now my sister-in-law came back from the imperial capital and was still driving a car, which made the Li family proud in the village.

"Xiao Wei, what's your boss doing?" She was sitting in the car, touching the back of the front seat. Although she felt a little bumpy because of the dirt road, she was happy with this feeling.

"Our company is very profitable. The set of cosmetics I gave you cost less than 1,000 yuan. We are currently exporting to the United States, France and the United Kingdom. However, due to the current low productivity, otherwise we will really sell to many countries. Next year It’s about to work hard, the benefits are good, the boss allocated cars to the leaders of several of our departments, not only I own it, but also our boss, you have heard from me that it is the one named Xu Ning in my university dormitory.”

"Oh, look at her girl, she is already a boss at such a young age?" Li Yuwei's mother said.

"Xiaowei is also very good, look at our four miles and eight villages, only Xiaowei owns a car." The sister-in-law said with a smile: "This year's Chinese New Year, can't we take a car to visit relatives?"

"Yes!" Li Yuwei looked at her mother and sister-in-law through the rearview mirror, and she was also very happy.

Mother Li looked at her daughter and said earnestly, "Xiao Wei, work hard outside, don't be sloppy when they give you such a good job, praise is worthy of their money."

"Don't worry, Mom, I understand."

"Xiao Wei, you studied medicine, and now you go to make cosmetics, isn't it all for nothing?" The sister-in-law looked at Li Yuwei.

"No." Li Yuwei shook her head with a smile, "I'm in the R\u0026D department, and researching the ingredients of cosmetics also requires medical knowledge, so it's not a waste at all. Besides, no matter what I study, I just want to find a better job. Now my working environment is very good, how can this be called a waste, if I don’t have the ability, I can’t stay and work in this company right now?”

"It's true, my sister-in-law has no culture, so don't forget to take it to heart."

"No, sister-in-law is also worried about me, I understand."

Her current achievements cannot be separated from the support of her family.

Looking at these four miles and eight villages, girls basically have no chance to study. Many parents think that their daughters are useless. When they grow up, they will belong to other people.

But Li Yuwei liked to read since she was a child, and her mother and elder brother entrusted her. Now that she is capable, she naturally wants to repay her family.
