Chen Zhengyu was in high spirits when he went to the countryside, and he was also eager to return home when he came home for the New Year.
There is one less labor force in the family. Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Zhenzhen are not idle. Every day they have to guard against others coming to visit and make cakes in a hurry.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and every household is preparing New Year items. Only those who feel that the supply and marketing cooperative has insufficient supplies cannot sell anything.
Ding Changhai didn't have enough flour to sell, but he even set aside a special share for her family. This person was quite interesting.
Chen Yi now delivers goods once every two days and brings back a batch in the middle of the night. Not only that, he has started the business of catching and selling fish again, and he often stays up all night long.
At the end of the year, everything is sold at a high price. Everything is in short supply in the county, and this is the best time to make money.
On the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, the team slaughtered a pig.
Before dawn, Jiang Xinyu heard the screams of pigs being killed while in bed.
Chen Xiuyun has already gotten up, carrying a bowl to collect some pig blood.
There are so many people who want pig blood today, so I guess they won’t be able to get much of it.
Xiaochuan was young, but he loved to join in the fun and didn't sleep in. He followed Chen Xiuyun to watch the pig slaughter. The only ones left in the house were Jiang Xinyu, who was sleeping in a daze, and Jiang Zhenzhen, who was sleeping sweetly with her child.
When we got up, half a bowl of pig's blood was standing in the kitchen. Xiaochuan was cooking a pot of rice porridge with sweet potatoes, and there were cornmeal pancakes and the leftover bacon and cabbage from last night's meal on the grate.
Look at this kid, he's quite capable. At least he saves them all trouble.
The courtyard door was open and the bicycle bell rang. Chen Yi, dressed in weathered clothes, rode his bicycle into the courtyard, took off the sack and took out the fish inside.
Jiang Xinyu sniffed him and smelled the fishy smell on his body. "Go back and wash up and change your clothes quickly. If others smell it, trouble will arise."
Seeing the black and blue under his eyes, she felt distressed and invited him into the house to eat something hot, "Your mother is probably still busy killing pigs today, and you won't have anything to eat when you get back. Eat something here before going back to rest."
His hands were still cold even with gloves on. She held his big palms and blew hot air on him.
"It's very cold, and I must be tired, otherwise I'd better not do it."
Chen Yi doesn't feel cold or tired. He is happy if he can make money. After accumulating more in the past two years, the living conditions of the two of them will be guaranteed when they go to school.
Her greetings and inquiries were very useful to him.
Ogawa picked out the burning firewood from the stove and put it in the brazier, then brought it in and placed it between the two of them.
The team slaughtered the pigs with great vigor, and the members were very enthusiastic and queued up to share the pork.
Jiang Xinyu's family has been divided into just over five kilograms this year, including Chen Zhengyu's share. Compared with that family with a larger population and more labor, it is more than ten kilograms less.
However, the team was divided evenly, and Chen Xiuyun still had a note in his hand that could buy twenty kilograms of meat. He would have plenty after buying the meat in two days.
This year, her family was well off, so Chen Xiuyun generously used white flour to fry sugar cakes.
The cooked dough is shaped into small pancakes, with white sugar placed in the middle of the pancakes. After deep-frying, the pancakes taste particularly fragrant.
In addition to sugar cakes, we also fried sesame leaves, dumplings, and fried dough sticks. On the night of the 27th, we also made two large pots of white flour steamed buns stuffed with red dates.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in 1976, early in the morning, Chen Yi and Jiang Xinyu took the certificate issued by the team and went to the commune's marriage office to get their marriage certificate.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the marriage certificate in her hand that looked like a grand prize. It was surrounded by peonies, ears of wheat, etc., which symbolized happiness and abundance. Below it was a red double happiness composed of petals, which set off a strong sense of joy.
She married Chen Yi again. Looking at this marriage certificate with the characteristics of the times, Jiang Xinyu sighed.
Chen Yi wears a blue-gray jacket, so the gray color does not make him gray even on his body. His tall and tall figure, elegant appearance and calm temperament are what she likes.
She hooked his hand and scratched his palm. There was a smile in his dark eyes, and she also smiled sweetly.
Her tone was relaxed and teasing, "We will depend on each other from now on."
Yes, we depend on each other for life.
Even though her mother and sister in this era are very kind to her, she is not the one who has lived in this era for more than ten years. She will be kind to them in return for their kindness to her, but only Chen Yi is kind to her. She
She doesn't know what will happen in the future, but at least now she feels that the two of them are in good condition.
His throat rolled and he said "Okay".
Dependent on each other, this word is quite heavy, but he is indeed happy in his heart.
What does Jiang Xinyu mean to him? Maybe it’s life.
If he had been unmarried for twenty-five years in the past, he would not think that he would regard a woman as so important in the future.
Even after getting married, he regarded his family and his partner as his responsibilities, but at that time he never thought that he would pursue her so hard when he got here.
When he recalled the past, he heard her suddenly ask: "If it wasn't me who married you, and it wasn't me who came here with you, and she had to marry someone else, you would marry her again just like you did to me.
come back?"
Chen Yi frowned slightly, thinking, why would she be interested in something like this that never happened? She still had to ask for an answer.
"Xinyu, if the blind date hadn't been you, I wouldn't have gotten married so quickly."
Jiang Xinyu smacked her lips, feeling unsatisfied, "In other words, if you meet the right person in the future, you may still marry someone else?"
Chen Yi hesitated and said: "If you insist on being more serious, you can say it like this."
He is not good at telling lies. He was already thirty when he married her, and his family was pressing for it. Sooner or later, he would get married. If it hadn't been for her, he might have married another woman arranged by the family. But this was the first time.
He met her on a blind date.
Jiang Xinyu was so angry, "I hate it!"
After receiving the certificate, I immediately regretted it.
Can I do it again today? She won’t receive this certificate!
"But if that person is not you, I will not start a family with her again after I get here."
Her frizzy heart was soothed by his words again.
Which girl doesn't want to be the most special one in the heart of the person she likes? The same is true for Jiang Xinyu.
She groaned and rolled her eyes at him, shook off his hand and walked forward, but the corners of her lips curled up in an upward arc.
It was still early now, and the two of them came to collect their certificates almost as soon as the commune went to work. They could go to the county to buy some more things.
The commune that received the marriage certificate also gave them cloth and cotton coupons, and Jiang Xinyu felt uncomfortable unless she spent them all.
There was a long queue at the department store in the county. The two of them waited in line for nearly two hours in the cold wind before they could go in. Their faces were numb from the cold.
In the TV series "Parents' Love", An Jie always says "hate" to Jiang Defu. I love hearing this "hate" more than Jiang Defu hahahahahaha
