Chapter 5 Meeting the Sun Family for the First Time
Wang Manyin's feelings about Sun Lanhua are somewhat complicated.
This is a cute and kind-hearted silly girl. Her previous love affair made people fall in love with her. Originally, the two of them discussed getting married during the Chinese New Year, but Wang Manyin got a big advantage.
Lanhua interprets the traditional concept of "if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, follow the dog" to the extreme. Once you have identified a man, you will never leave him.
No matter what others think, she always regards her husband as a god in her heart. It is because this man once made her feel the taste of love for the first time in her unglamorous youth.
Such girls are very rare in future generations.
When watching "The Ordinary World" in his previous life, Wang Manyin felt very unworthy of Sun Lanhua and felt that his predecessor was not worthy of her at all.
So when he came to this world, he silently promised in his heart that he must be good to this silly girl. As a man, he would protect her from wind and rain in the future and prevent her from suffering any more.
After waiting for a while, I saw a woman appear on the dirt road.
He was wearing tattered clothes with patches on top of each other, his fluffy hair was stained with grass clippings, and he was carrying a large bundle of firewood behind him, like a hill.
It weighed at least a hundred kilograms and was so heavy that I bent over.
Wang Manyin felt extremely distressed and hurriedly shouted and ran over.
"Man Yin, why are you here?" Hearing the voice, Lanhua hurriedly raised her head, and then her face was filled with a smile. Seeing the man, it seemed that the fatigue of the day had been swept away.
"Stop and have a rest." Wang Manyin quickly reached out to take the firewood, bent down and placed it on the roadside.
He took back the wattle basket, opened the earthen cover and preached: "I went to the commune market in the morning and bought two kilograms of oil steamed buns. You can take them back and let your family taste them."
Looking at the crispy and golden fried steamed buns, Sun Lanhua couldn't help but feel salivation in her mouth and her stomach growled. She was already hungry from the porridge she drank at noon.
"You must be so hungry, eat one quickly..." Wang Manyin hurriedly picked up the fried steamed bun and handed it over.
Orchid was a little embarrassed to take it and ate it in small bites.
The fried steamed buns are so sweet that they are sweet to the heart.
After taking a few bites, she realized that the man hadn't eaten and was just looking at her.
"Man Yin, why don't you eat?"
"I ate it in the commune," Wang Manyin shook his head.
Seeing the grass stems stuck on the orchid's head, he stretched out his hand to clean it off.
Seeing that one fried steamed bun was finished, Wang Manyin handed another one over.
As a result, Lan Hua shook her head and said, "I won't eat it. I'll take it back to grandma and Shao'an to try it. I haven't eaten it at home for a long time."
"There's still more, don't make you starve." Wang Manyin persuaded Sun Lanhua to eat another fried steamed bun.
The two chatted for a while on the edge of the cliff, and it was almost dark.
Sun Lanhua was about to carry firewood and go home, but Wang Manyin stopped her.
As a big man, if a woman is asked to carry firewood home, what's the big deal?
However, this was the first time for him to carry such a large bundle, and he couldn't control his center of gravity at all.
As soon as I got up, I stumbled and sat down on the ground.
"Pfft..." Sun Lanhua grinned, her face full of happiness.
"Man Yin, you haven't done any work before, so I'll do it."
As she spoke, she reached out to pick up the shoulder stick.
"No, I've never carried so much before, just give it a try."
His physical strength is not lacking, Wang Manyin is now 1.8 meters tall, his face is fair and fair, and he is not thin at all. It's just that he hasn't exerted much strength in recent years, so he is a bit weak.
Fortunately, he had been digging in the ground for the past few days and gradually gained strength. After finding his center of gravity, Wang Manyin leaned forward as much as possible and finally carried more than 100 kilograms of firewood.
Sun Lanhua led the way, carrying one foot deep and one foot shallow and one heel.
After walking for a while, I got used to it.
On the way, Sun Lanhua kept trying to bring bundles of firewood, but was rejected.
My father-in-law, Sun Yuhou, lives in a private courtyard at the head of the village, not connected to other families in the village.
When she arrived at the door of her house, Lanhua saw her family members looking down the slope from a distance.
She hurriedly shouted to her family: "Dad, Mom, Man Yin is here. I bought two kilograms of fried steamed buns for our family at the market this morning."
Orchid is not just showing off, but telling her parents that the man she has chosen is great.
Probably seeing Wang Manyin helping his daughter carry her back from Chaihe, Sun Yuhou, although his face looked ugly, did not turn around and leave immediately, but just snorted coldly.
On the other hand, Sun Shaoan was somewhat satisfied. He felt that this future brother-in-law was okay and not as unreliable as the legend said. At least he knew he felt sorry for his sister.
"Uncle, aunt, Shaoan..." Wang Manyin put down the firewood and greeted him honestly, with a very correct attitude.
As a person of later generations, he knows that attitude is often important.
The famous Northwest Hammer King Sun Shaoan also responded with a smile: "Brother Man Yin, you are here, sit down and have a rest."
His stature is similar to that of Wang Manyin, but he looks stronger due to having to do manual labor all year round. His nose is high and straight, and his face has the unique ruggedness and wildness of northwest men.
Sun Shaoping and Lan Xiang were not seen in the courtyard. They must have gone to the village to play.
"Man Yin, drink water!" At this time, Lan Hua came out holding a big bowl.
The water in the Loess Plateau is highly alkaline and tastes bitter. However, Wang Manyin did not change his taste after taking it and drank it all.
After chatting for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and left.
Probably because his words and actions were different from before, Sun Yuhou rarely made a comment.
This made Wang Manyin a little ecstatic.
My predecessor had been here a few times before, but the old man didn't even give me a good look, let alone leave him a meal.
However, Wang Manyin refused rationally. It’s not easy these days, and there are rations for cooking. If he eats more, Lanhua’s family will eat less.
What's more, he doesn't like Sun's food.
When seeing Wang Manyin off, Sun Yuhou warned him: "Manyin, you are going to marry Lan Hua'er soon, so you can't make false accusations anymore."
"Uncle, don't worry, I know this. If Lanhua marries her, I will never let her suffer." Wang Manyin nodded repeatedly.
Although he had his own plans, he did not want to refute Old Man Sun's words.
As the saying goes, attitude is very important.
If he gets angry and regrets not marrying his daughter to him, it will be a huge loss.
No matter what, you should do it first, whether you do it or not is another matter.
"Dad, I think Brother Manyin's temperament seems to have changed, and he is more steadfast in his speech than before." Sun Shaoan said with emotion as he watched Wang Manyin walk away.
"Who knows if he's just pretending to be a person or if he's really changed? We'll see later." Sun Yuhou shook his head.
Gu Guan Village and Shuangshui Village are only a few miles apart, and the fields in the two villages are next to each other, so he knows Wang Manyin's situation very well.
This man's family has been second-rate for three generations. He is not going through life at all, let alone a good son-in-law in his mind.
If his eldest daughter hadn't been crying to death if she didn't want to marry Wang Manyin, he wouldn't have agreed to anything he said.
Moreover, Sun Yuhou could see clearly that even if Wang Manyin really changed his temper, Lan Hua would definitely suffer hardship if she married into a poor, cowardly family.
As parents, we always want our children to live a better life.
However, the eldest daughter of the family believes that she is a wandering ghost and refuses to listen no matter what she says. What else can she do? From now on, she can only help her.
By the time Wang Manyin climbed over the two mountain ridges, it was completely dark.
I don’t know where the native dog went, and now there is no trace.
The cold wind blowing from the Mu Us Desert is like an ice knife.
Even wearing a cotton-padded jacket, he still felt cold.
When he walked to the old graves on the cliff behind the village, Wang Manyin suddenly saw a shadow moving.
Damn...who has nothing to do at this time and runs to the old grave.
It's not something weird that can't be explained by science, right?
To be honest, Wang Manyin came from a later generation and really didn't believe in this thing.
He thought for a while and tried to shout: "Who is on the old grave?"
"Who?" The shadow stood up, his voice trembling.
"Brother Manjun?" Wang Manyin asked tentatively, sounding a bit familiar.
"It's Man Yin. What are you doing, you two-biter, up late at night? You want to scare me to death!" The black figure opposite also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked towards the old grave.
"I just came back from Shuangshui Village, what are you doing?"
