Chapter 1 The storm is coming

Xu Shuyuan, a beautiful, dignified and talented capitalist daughter and a foreign student in a church school, married Zhang Changgui, a demobilized cadre, a coal digger in northern Shaanxi who rose from the dead when the People's Republic of China was founded.

Marriage cannot be a perfect match, but Xu Shuyuan lived a relatively comfortable life.

From the day she got married, she invested everything she had into this small family. Every table, every chair, every dust and dirt in this family was inseparable from her, and they were all connected with her flesh and blood.

With her breath, she is like the air, permeating the whole home, everywhere. She is the smell of this home, attracting all the family members. They can't help but want to go home. She looks at this place that is full of her own flavor.

At home, looking at the children in front of her, all of them are handsome and smart, which are all inherited from her strong genes, she is very satisfied and contented.

At present, in this house, except for the eldest daughter Zhang Caixia and her husband Zhang Changgui, the eldest son Zhang Aiguo, the second son Zhang Aimin, the youngest daughter Zhang Caiyun and her are all in this room. The two brothers are like two monkeys, chasing each other around the house all day long.

The beatings continued, which made Xu Shuyuan, a mother, very troubled. These two monkeys had already destroyed her image of Guanyin as a beautiful lady, and replaced her with the powerful and domineering image of King Li Tianwang of Tota, and her Hedong Lion.

Roaring skill is her magic weapon to subjugate demons.

For this reason, she lost her goddess look and became what she is today, but she is very satisfied. She has always been the master of this family, playing the role of savior at home, able to contribute to the people she loves, and to

She was willing to sacrifice her loved ones, she supported the family, she was the anchor of the family, she had dignity.

Xu Shuyuan and several children had already had dinner. A 20-watt electric lamp was hung in the center of the room, glowing dimly with yellow light, filling the whole room with warm warmth. On the dining table in the center of the room, there were

There were leftovers from pots and bowls in the fly cover. She was sitting on a chair by the dining table knitting a sweater, looking at her children from time to time with a pair of beautiful smiling eyes on her pretty fair face.

The eldest daughter, Caixia, is 18 years old. She has already made friends with the child of her husband's comrade-in-arms Cao Mancang. His name is Cao Guowei. She is her daughter's classmate. She has met the young man. He is handsome and has a talented appearance. I heard that he is from the school.

She is an active person who has excellent performance in all aspects. It is obvious that she will have a child with great potential in the future. Of course, her girl is not bad either. She has inherited all her advantages. She is beautiful and smart, and she is even more intelligent than she was back then. She has been here

The young boy who wanted to study with his daughter was like a crucian carp crossing the river. He broke down the sofa in their house several times. It was only in the past six months that the family stopped. Probably because the girl was officially in love, so there was no one around.

Come to the door.

My daughter and my partner are a perfect match, they are both talented and good-looking, and they are in love with each other. They are truly a match made in heaven. They will definitely be able to live together as husband and wife and grow old together like them in the future. How can she be unhappy, dissatisfied, and not support it if you say such a thing? But her husband

Zhang Changgui disagreed. The reason was that Cao Mancang was not very good, he was competitive, he was full of talk, and he was careless. This made her girl so anxious that she came to her Xu Shuyuan in private behind her father's back to discuss: Mom, you

Tell me, what does his father have to do with him? We can't mess up our affairs just because our father doesn't like his father, right?

Xu Shuyuan hurriedly comforted the girl and said: No, no, your dad is just petty. He and Lao Cao were competing for tasks, credits, this and that... Hey, in short, they were competing for everything, and they had some conflicts, but that is all in the past

thing.

Zhang Caixia said unconvinced: Now that they are no longer in the same work unit, they rarely even have the chance to meet each other. How can there be so many conflicts? Can't we just let go of those trivial matters?

Xu Shuyuan said quickly: That's right, that's right, if you don't say that your father is too narrow-minded, how could he get involved in both of your affairs? It's forbidden, don't worry.

Zhang Caixia said: What era is it now? My dad is still an old feudal man, acting like a feudal parent, and brutally interfering in our freedom of love and marriage. You said, his approach is seriously contrary to the current policy. This

What a serious mistake!

Xu Shuyuan just couldn't hear the word "mistake", so she quickly covered her daughter's mouth and said: Girl, you can't say this nonsense. Your dad is not as serious as you said, and you can't give him the upper hand.

Zhang Caixia pushed Xu Shuyuan's extended hand away with her hand, turned around and said angrily: "I don't care, if he doesn't agree, I will sue him and say that he..."

Xu Shuyuan quickly covered Zhang Caixia's mouth. Zhang Caixia turned her head and avoided it. Xu Shuyuan said hurriedly: Don't go around talking nonsense and causing trouble for your father!

Zhang Caixia said proudly: It's good to know. If I don't care about him, someone else can care about him. So, will you support me?

Xu Shuyuan quickly said: Support, support, I will definitely support it, this matter will be taken care of by me!

Zhang Caixia hugged her mother happily and said coquettishly: That's okay, he listens to you, you are the only one who can control him in this family!

The children rely on her, come to her and beg her when they have something to do, which makes Xu Shuyuan, a mother, very happy. She hugged her daughter lovingly and said softly: How far are you with him? Is he good to you?

Zhang Caixia suddenly blushed with embarrassment and said coquettishly: Mom, don't ask so many questions, just take care of our dad.

Xu Shuyuan said angrily: You kid, isn't this for your own good? Guowei is a kid who is good at everything, but there is one thing that is bad about him.

Zhang Caixia looked up at her and wondered: What's wrong with him?

Xu Shuyuan looked at the flower-like daughter in front of her, thinking about herself in the past, and sighed: Hey, he is too energetic and tall, which makes people feel uneasy.

Zhang Caixia smiled proudly and said: That's it. What's wrong with being handsome? Is it possible that I have to find someone ugly to satisfy you? What are you worried about?

Xu Shuyuan smiled and said: My silly girl, do you understand what his character is like? Besides, if you are satisfied, others will also be jealous. You have to watch him and don't come to me to cry.

Zhang Caixia was so shy that she broke away from her arms, turned around and ran away. Her voice came: Mom, look at what you said, I won't ignore you...

Xu Shuyuan looked at her daughter's retreating back, and couldn't help but sigh: Hey, this girl is so careless, it's really annoying...

When Xu Shuyuan thought of this, she suddenly felt happy. She sighed again and returned to reality to continue knitting her sweater. The sweater in her hand was knitted for her, the big girl Zhang Caixia. She thought about her wearing this beautiful sweater.

She couldn't help but smile at the way she showed off in front of her boyfriend. She was the same way back then, always wearing new clothes to look good everywhere. The radio was playing a storybook: Forest and Snowy Fields.

Yang Zilong was the favorite of her two sons. Capturing a mountain eagle alive and outsmarting the Tiger Mountain. These scenes, including the same tricks, were compulsory lessons that teenagers often recited at that time, and they never got tired of listening to them. But she disliked the noise.

, specifically asked her son to lower her voice. The pleasant voice of the female announcer came from the tube red light radio on the chest of drawers. Her affectionate narration penetrated her softly like a mosquito's moan.

With her ears, she seemed to hear something, but also seemed not to hear anything. She liked the pleasant sounds and lights that softly filled the room. The warm and comfortable look made people feel particularly comfortable. Her hands

She knitted the sweater mechanically, thinking that her daughter would look even more beautiful when she put on this sweater than she did back then. She thought about her daughter and her back then, with a smile on her face and full of happiness.

The fourth girl, Zhang Caiyun, who was seven or eight years old, was wearing a pink coarse cloth sleeved apron. She was lying on the table and stared at her knitting hands in confusion. The little girl said with greedy eyes: Mom, the sweater you knit is so beautiful. When?

Knit one for me too.

Xu Shuyuan looked at her daughter and smiled and said: Haven't I told you so many times that when I finish knitting this sweater knitted by your sister, I will knit it for you.

The little girl said unwillingly: How long do we have to wait?

Xu Shuyuan smiled and teased her: "Look, you are in a hurry. Are you in a hurry? Why are you so anxious? Who are you wearing this for?"

The little girl said seriously: Mom, you are just partial, can't I just wear it for myself?

Xu Shuyuan smiled and coaxed: OK, OK, of course, who said mom is partial? Among the kids, Niu Niu is the most well-behaved, and mom likes you the most.

Niuniu is Zhang Caiyun's nickname. When she heard that her mother liked her the most, the little girl immediately became excited and looked at her innocently and said: Really? Then you must knit a sweater that is more beautiful than my sister's.

I can do it.

Xu Shuyuan teased her little daughter and said: "Look what you said, your sister is a big girl. She wants to be beautiful. You are a little girl. Why are you so ugly?"

Zhang Caiyun pouted and said angrily: What's wrong with the little girl? Can't the little girl be beautiful?

Xu Shuyuan smiled and said: If you want to be beautiful, our Xiaoyun must be more beautiful than our sister. You go to the book and pick a pattern yourself, and mom will knit it for you right now.

Zhang Caiyun immediately said happily: Really? Thank you, Mom, I'll go look for it.

Xu Shuyuan smiled and said: Well, the little mouth is so sweet, as if it has been covered with honey, go ahead.

He turned around and glanced at the two boys who were listening attentively to the book. For fear of neglecting them, he deliberately said: What kind of sweaters do your two brothers want?

Neither of her two sons heard her questions, did not respond, or even reacted at all, which made her a little disappointed. These two sons were older now and had nothing to ask her for. She was the most important thing in their minds.

Her status was somewhat shaken, which made her feel empty and uneasy. Fortunately, Zhang Caiyun understood her and criticized her two brothers seriously: Big brother, second brother, are you deaf? Mom is asking you questions! What kind of sweater do you want?

The two brothers' minds were not focused on this at all. They were sitting upside down on the chair, with their chins resting on the back of the chair, their eyes fixed on the radio, and they were fascinated. They had heard this story countless times, and they could even memorize it.

It was difficult to memorize it, but they just loved to hear it and would never tire of it. The little girl had no choice but to run up to the two men, push them to wake them up, and ask: I want to ask you a question, do you hear me?

The eldest son Zhang Aiguo said absently: What?

Zhang Caiyun said: Mom asks you what style of sweater you want so that she can knit it for you.

Zhang Aiguo said casually: Whatever.

The second son Zhang Aimin also responded: Me too.

Xu Shuyuan was in a good mood by this cute little daughter, so she happily continued to tease her two sons and said: "Whatever? What kind of style is it?"

The two sons are not as keen on giving orders as the daughter. Zhang Aiguo still looked indifferent and said: Don't be frivolous.

Zhang Aimin said: It is best to be dark blue.

Xu Shuyuan responded with "Oh", but Zhang Aiguo continued without thinking: "Don't have three twists on your chest."

Zhang Aimin said: It should be as flat as cloth.

Xu Shuyuan saw that her two sons were starting to take notice of each other, and she said happily: "I just pretended that you two didn't ask for anything. Okay, I understand."

Zhang Aiguo continued: By the way, no tricks.

Xu Shuyuan frowned, but still smiled and said: Look, there are so many requirements for just one person.

Zhang Aimin said, don't wear it tight.

Xu Shuyuan frowned. Wasn't this going to negate all the sweaters she had knitted for them?! She knitted hard for a long time. They didn't like it at first, so they just made do. What's the situation?

All her efforts were in vain, which made her dumbfounded and said angrily: Okay, okay, with so many requests, I'd better ask your dad for two military jackets for you to wear, because you will waste your sweaters.

Unexpectedly, the two brothers happily replied in unison: OK!

You see, all your good intentions go to waste, how embarrassing it is for you as a mother. Xu Shuyuan said angrily: Look at you two brothers, you like to wear military uniforms. You fight and kill all day long, you can't live in peace.

At this time, the phone on the chest of drawers rang, and the little daughter ran over to answer the phone: Hello, who are you looking for?

A female voice came from the phone: Is it Niuniu? I'm looking for your mother.

Zhang Caiyun said happily: It's grandma.
