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

When Xu Jianjun came back from his work unit, he heard Qin Xuejuan talk about it.

His complexion also suddenly became ugly because of the mention of the Sun family.

"They really dare to come to the door." Xu Jianjun said with a cold face and a solemn tone, "When we were not married, the children of the Sun family came to our house and took everything away. The second sister has had many disputes with the Sun family, and the whole village knows about it, and that family has a thick skin, and they can come to the door again and again to obey things."

"This time, it is said that Sun Dabao, the second roommate of the Sun family, was admitted to high school and came to our house to borrow money. It has been two or three months since school started. What kind of money did he come to our house to borrow?" Qin Xuejuan was a little confused, "Say yes The eldest daughter of the Sun family is married to the county, so if she can rely on her relationship to find a high school for her nephew, if there is trouble, no matter how big the relationship is, it will be useless."

What Qin Xuejuan said was unintentional, but Xu Jianjun listened to it.

"You're right. I'll go to the unit and the mayor to inquire about this." Want to spend money on high school? It's just nonsense. Normally, if you can study hard, why do you have to make such a fuss? Besides, the country is still in the development stage, and everything is waiting to be done. You actually want to take the crooked way of giving gifts. Now that you let him know, you must not treat it as a did not hear it.

If you really miss high school, continue studying in junior high school again.

"Ask what you want." The old lady came in with a basket of vegetable pancakes, "Don't worry about that family's business, it has nothing to do with us."

Qin Xuejuan smiled softly: "Mom, we should really ask about this matter. After all, they have found our family. We know that they are here to borrow money, but outsiders don't know. If people find out in the future, they might think It was Jianjun who was behind the scenes to help with the activities."

"...Is it so serious?" The old lady felt even more disgusted with the old Sun's family when she heard that it might affect her family.

It's been so many years since we haven't contacted each other, and they will cause trouble to their family as soon as they come to the door. It is really bad luck for eight lifetimes to have such a relative at the booth. The family was disgusted to death.

When Sun Qiang and his wife returned home, it was almost dark.

As soon as they entered the door, Xu Xingfang stopped the couple, "Why did you come back so late? Have you eaten yet?"

Before Sun Qiang could speak, Sun Qiang's daughter-in-law said angrily: "What are you eating, Mom, they scolded me and Qiangzi directly, and told us to get out, and said that it has nothing to do with our family. "

"That old lady, you really think I, Xu Xingfang, is a bully. It's shameless to give her face. Jianjun is my own nephew. I asked my nephew to give me some filial money. How dare she stop me?" The firecracker that exploded almost jumped up and cursed, "Didn't you pay me a penny?"

This was what Xu Xingfang was thinking about.

"What's the matter? You didn't even let us drink your saliva. That aunt is too powerful. She scolded us so badly in front of her granddaughter." Sun Qiang's daughter-in-law vomited in a panic, If she hadn't wanted her son to go to high school, she wouldn't have scolded that old shrew.

Thinking of her son's ability to go to high school, and the eldest sister also said that she would definitely be able to make a fortune in the future, she felt itchy in her heart.

If her son didn't go to high school in the county, the Xu family would cut off her son's future, and she would have to go to the old Xu's family to do her best.

"Don't worry about anything else, you've been wandering around these days, Qiangzi went to your uncle's and aunt's house, Qiangzi's daughter-in-law went to your parents' house to see, why don't you let my precious grandson go to high school, explain it to them My son, as long as we Qiangzi go to high school, we will definitely take care of them in the future, just ask casually, how many of these people from all over the world are admitted to high school, so I will regret it in the future."

Sun Qiang and his wife nodded, they could only do this for their son.

On Sunday, when Xu Ning just woke up, he saw that the old lady and Qin Xuejuan had already changed into their clothes for going out, and they both had cloth bags in their hands.

They said last night that they want to go to the town to buy some fabrics today. After all, Qin Xuejuan's belly is almost four months old, so prepare the baby's diapers and small clothes early to avoid being in a hurry.

Both Xu Ning and Qin Xuejuan felt that there was no need to worry, but the old lady disagreed. She also said that when Xu Ning was young, there were dozens of diapers alone, and they used up seven or eight diapers every day. .

Moreover, children's clothes are all delicate, and it takes a lot of effort to make them.

"Leaving so early?" She yawned and asked.

"What's the matter, it's almost eight o'clock, we walked to the town." The old lady gave her granddaughter a reproachful look, "The rice is warming for you in the pot, and we may not be able to come back at noon. You can eat it yourself."

"Understood, grandma, mom, please slow down on your way." After greeting the two of them, Xu Ning went to wash his face.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the next door, called Gao Xiulan, and the three of them walked slowly towards the town.

Xiangshan Village is not far from the town, and it takes only half an hour to walk slowly.

Qin Xuejuan's fetal position is stable now, and her complexion is very good. There is no problem in walking this way.

"Auntie, what are you doing so early?" The women and men in the village greeted the three of them with smiles when they saw them.

The old lady's hot temper is well known in the village, and no one thinks it's wrong if she doesn't say anything.

Gao Xiulan said happily: "The weather is warm today, let's go for a walk in the town and do some shopping."

After walking out of the village, there are people who come out for breakfast for a walk in the back, and the three of them get together and start chatting.

"Seeing that Aunt Xu's family has softened a lot now, Xuejuan is probably happy to have a child in her womb."

"Who can be unhappy about having a baby in the family? It's good to be a grandson, but if it's a granddaughter again, Aunt Xu might feel sick."

"The relationship between the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has not been very good these years. One wants a grandson, but the other just can't bear it. Who is to blame?"

"Aunt Xu is pretty good. Look at the family at the north end of the village. How well they have been ordering their daughter-in-law. Even if they are a little upset, they can chase their daughter-in-law all over the street. It's really not embarrassing."

"At any rate, it's a single pass for four generations. In this generation, the six granddaughters don't have a single grandson. It's no wonder that I feel happy."

"Hey, this is life too."

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu didn't hear these discussions, otherwise there might be another round of verbal wars.

What is she vomit, what is there to vomit, since her daughter-in-law married into her old Xu's family, when did she torture her daughter-in-law, except for letting her cook, she hardly said a word of swearing to her daughter-in-law, what do these outsiders know Just behind his back.

And her granddaughter, no matter how messed up she was before, the old lady never lifted a finger. She has eaten well and dressed well all these years, what did she say?

If you put it in someone else's house, you may not know what it will look like.

The old lady has been well-fed since she was a child. Although she suffered a lot of hardships in the later days, it was all hard work.

So women are having a hard time in this society. If their family members don't know how to be considerate, then it is really a disaster.

It's like her little girl, who hasn't gone back to see her mother-in-law for more than ten years, but what happened, should she stand out or not, her mother-in-law doesn't protect her, and she still counts on others?

"Juan'er, you haven't bought any clothes for many years, so I will buy two this time." The old lady is in a good mood today, so she is naturally willing to be soft on her lips.

Qin Xuejuan couldn't hide her happy expression, "I don't need to buy it. The clothes at home are not broken, and they can still be worn for a few years. Let's buy a new set of clothes for our family at the end of the year."

Gao Xiulan joked next to her: "Juan'er is a stupid kid. It's rare for your mother to be able to make sense of the sentence. Just buy it. The money you bring must be enough."

Qin Xuejuan covered her mouth and smiled brightly, but the old lady deliberately put on a straight face, "Don't buy it."

"Look, are you in a hurry?"

"As much as you know."

After Xu Jianjun was promoted to the director of the finance department, he was actually quite busy all day long. Although their town is not as good as those in fast-growing big cities, small things are also piled up, and financial summaries are needed in all aspects.

Seeing that it was noon, a young girl in the office stood up and stretched herself, "Director Xu, it's noon, let's go eat first."

"Go." Xu Jianjun looked up at the people in the office, then lowered his head and continued to read the financial report.

The little girl walked up to a married woman, said a few words to her, and they left arm in arm.

"Hey, Sister Liu, Director Xu is really good-looking, isn't he?"

"It's not a big deal." Sister Liu said with a smile: "When I first came to our finance department, it seemed that many people wanted to introduce their daughters to him."

"Really?" The little girl was slightly surprised, "I heard that Director Xu's wife is an educated youth sent to the countryside."

Sister Liu nodded, "Yeah, she's very good-looking. I came here last year. Although I'm in my thirties, I really can't choose my appearance."

The two walked into the cafeteria talking and laughing.

Here, Xu Jianjun read the last point, closed the document, stood up and went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Just two steps away, I heard the office phone ring.

"Hello?" Xu Jianjun walked over to pick it up.

"Director Xu, your wife is looking for you outside." The voice of the old man at the security office over there was really strong in the microphone, so that the two accountants who hadn't left could hear clearly through the microphone.

"Hey, Director Xu's wife is here? I guess I brought you delicious food." An elderly accountant teased with a smile.

"You're an old man who knows delicious food." Another aunt in her fifties joked with a smile.

Xu Jianjun hung up the phone, and said to the two of them: "Uncle Qian, Aunt Wang, take your time and let's talk about it after dinner."

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Jianjun walked out of the office and trotted to the gate of the government compound. He immediately saw his mother and daughter-in-law, and his neighbor, Aunt Jiang.

"Mom, Aunt Jiang, Juan'er, why are you here?" As she spoke, she saw that the three of them were carrying large and small bags, and hurried forward to take them over, "Give it to me, I'll take it back this afternoon."

"Let's go to the town to buy some materials and go back to make diapers for the children. It's not quite noon, so come to your unit for some dinner." Qin Xuejuan didn't carry all the things to her husband, and walked into the door slowly with him.

There are people here, so you can still go in, but you need a meal ticket to eat in the cafeteria.

It is worth mentioning that the food in the government cafeteria tastes very good, the key is that the food is very plentiful.

Xu Jianjun led the three of them to the finance department to put down their things before taking them to the cafeteria.

"Hey, this is Director Xu's daughter-in-law, right? It's been a long time." Someone saw them and greeted them.

"Yeah, I'm here to buy things in the town, and I'll have a meal in our cafeteria at noon." Xu Jianjun's popularity in the government compound is particularly good, mainly because he has a calm personality, smiles all day long, and is very handsome. He is handsome, the older ones like him, the younger ones like to chat and fight with him because he has no competitiveness, and because of Xu Jianjun's personality, the younger ones hardly get into trouble with him. Xu Jianjun felt a little wronged.

At this time, it was meal time, and those who were far away from home would stay at the unit for dinner, and those who lived in the town would occasionally stay at the unit due to the weather, and a few of them would go home for lunch.

As soon as they came in, more people greeted them.

Mrs. Xu was completely relieved when she saw that her son got along well with others in the unit.

"Oh, that's Director Xu's daughter-in-law. She's really as beautiful as Sister Liu said, so beautiful?" The little girl from the finance department was surprised when she saw Qin Xuejuan.

Sister Liu turned her head to look at the woman who was with Xu Jianjun, and said with a smile, "This person really comes without saying anything. That's the daughter-in-law of our director. I heard she's from Shanghai."

"Tsk tsk, Devil City." The little girl clicked her tongue, "No wonder she looks so good-looking."

Magic City is now one of the important cities in the country that is undergoing rapid development. In the past few decades, there were constant disputes. Let alone Magic City, even if it is a slightly higher provincial capital, almost no one is willing to come here.

Looking at them now, Director Xu is really amazing, to be able to marry such a beautiful woman from the capital city.

"What do you want to eat?" Xu Jianjun looked at the three women beside him, "They all taste good."

"Anything is fine, as long as you fill your stomach." Gao Xiulan looked at the dozen or so dishes in front of her, "After we finish eating, we have to go for a walk in the afternoon, and let your wife wait here."

Xu Jianjun nodded, and looked down at his wife's stomach, "Aren't you tired after shopping all morning?"

"It must be tired." Qin Xuejuan smiled.

"Sit in our room that afternoon."

After they bought their food, they found a place to sit down, and their mayor, Liang Jinjin, happened to be next to them.

"Why didn't Mayor Liang go home to eat at noon? Aunt Li isn't at home?" Xu Jianjun asked.

Liang Xian nodded, "My wife asked my daughter to take over for two days, so I can only come to the cafeteria. Your family members are here? Eat more, the food in our agency cafeteria is very good."

Many government officials sometimes bought food in the cafeteria to eat at home.

"My mother and my neighbor's aunt." Xu Jianjun helped everyone sit down, "and my wife."

Liang Xianjin glanced at Qin Xuejuan, then nodded to Xu Jianjun, "Good boy, married a beautiful wife."

"You are welcome."

"Old sister, Xiao Xu sent me some cucumbers and persimmons a while ago. They taste very good. Thank you." When I wait until next year, I am always thinking about it. I also ate the ones bought by my wife afterward. The taste is not bad at all, and I have no appetite. "Next year is coming, but don't forget to ask Xiao Xu to tell me."

"You're welcome. My son has been taken care of by you. If he wants to eat, he will give it to you next year." The old lady was also stage fright because she didn't see a big shot.

"Hey!" Liang Xian raised his eyebrows, "Don't give it away. If you don't buy it from your house, you will buy it from another house. The money will be spent. At my age, my sons and daughters have already married. A little money is not just eating and drinking.”

"That's right, it's true."

After the meal was over, everyone walked out of the cafeteria together. Liang Xian took another route to the mayor's office, and Xu Jianjun took the three of them to the lounge next to the finance department. The old lady and Gao Xiulan rested here for an hour, and continued Went out to buy things, Qin Xuejuan took advantage of this time to lie down on the sofa here for a while, Xu Jianjun also found a small blanket for her to cover her body, so as not to catch a cold.

But at Xu Ning's side, he had a casual meal at noon, packed up and left the house.

She was going to visit the old uncle Yao's house, because she mainly cooks the meals at home, so Xu Ning wondered if she could learn some medicinal food from the old uncle Yao.

Anyway, it's all cooking, and I still have space in my arms, which is also a convenience.

Old Yaoshu lives in the south of the village. The house is not very good. Fortunately, there is no leakage of wind and rain. The courtyard walls are also made of earth, and the cracks and tops of the walls are covered with weeds.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, a faint scent of medicine came to the face.

The yard was neatly tidied up, two peach blossoms were planted on the left, and a small medicinal garden was planted on the right, Xu Ning didn't know what herbs were planted in it.

"Is Grandpa Yao at home?" Xu Ning stood in the yard and shouted.

Soon the door was opened from the inside, and an old man with gray hair staggered out of the room with a lame left leg.

"It's Ning Ning." Seeing Xu Ning, the old uncle Yao showed a kind smile on his wrinkled face, but his eyes didn't look muddy due to his age, "What's wrong? You look so energetic Well, rosy-faced, and not a sick one."

"We don't go to school today, so I came to see you. Isn't my mother pregnant? I also like to cook. I was just wondering if you know of any health-enhancing medicinal foods, and I'll learn from you."

"You are a filial girl, little girl." Hearing this, Old Yao's uncle's smile deepened, and he raised his hand to greet her, "Come in."

"Why!"

Stepping into the house, there is no twilight atmosphere that belongs to the old man, but a more intense medicinal fragrance.

There are five rooms in the old uncle's house, one bedroom and one kitchen. The remaining three rooms are all filled with medicinal materials. There is also a large medicine cabinet near the wall, with about five or six There are ten small drawers, all of which are pasted with paste on the outside, with the names of medicinal materials written in calligraphy on them.
