Zhan Aiping blinked her eyes. She found that Zhan Mingkang was not behaving properly. His temper was different from before. Zhan Mingkang was not like this before...
When Zhan Aiping met Zhou Yanyan, she understood.
"You are Akang's sister." When Zhou Yanyan saw Zhan Aiping, she was particularly enthusiastic and took the initiative to talk to Zhan Aiping.
"My last name is Zhou Yanyan."
Zhou Yanyan looked Zhan Aiping up and down, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. She thought that the Zhan family's sister was so beautiful, with bright and elegant facial features. She was much prettier than the beauties in their village, and her skin was white and tender.
Zhou Yanyan used to dislike Zhan Mingkang for being dark and fat, but she also felt that this guy would look good if he lost weight, but... Zhou Yanyan knew that she couldn't make him look good now.
The uglier Zhan Mingkang is, the better, so that no one will compete with her for him.
She took great care of Zhan Mingkang in order to become his wife in the future and go back to the city with him. Zhan Mingkang was still young, and such a young brother was the easiest to deceive.
Isn’t it said that everything should be started from childhood
Zhou Yanyan treated Zhan Mingkang as her adopted husband. After experiencing the previous two educated youths, Zhou Yanyan felt that those romantic loves were the most unreliable. Love was like a gust of wind. When the final wind blew back to the city, all love disappeared.
She wanted Zhan Mingkang to depend on her like he depended on his mother and sister, and could not live without her.
Zhan Aiping was surprised when she saw Zhou Yanyan: "Hello, Comrade Zhou."
The Zhou Yanyan in front of me looks pretty good, with good facial features, but she is a little tanned. She looks good when she smiles, with a moist glow in her eyes. She is not a stunning beauty, but very attractive.
But her eyes looked too shrewd, and I didn't know what she was planning.
Zhan Aiping glanced at the rather nervous Zhan Mingkang again, and she suddenly found it a little funny.
Zhou Yanyan took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, Sister Zhan, everything will be fine after Xiaokang went to the countryside."
Zhan Aiping said bluntly: "Our family hopes that he is not well."
Zhou Yanyan was shocked: "?!!!"
Zhan Mingkang jumped up: "...Sister Yanyan, don't listen to her nonsense. She is your biological sister, but she is just like your stepmother."
Zhou Yanyan: “…”
Zhan Aiping: "Comrade Zhou, Zhan Mingkang's stepfather sent him to the countryside so that he could exercise himself there, let the villagers let him do more work, and let him know that labor is the most glorious."
"Look at his physique. It's obvious that he has never worked before. Comrade Zhou, you should persuade him to do more heavy work."
Zhou Yanyan's expression was blank. She couldn't understand: "Do more hard labor? Why... why?"
Zhan Aiping: "Going to the countryside is to give him exercise. He cannot escape from labor."
Zhou Yanyan: “…”
"This... Is this my biological son?"
Zhou Yanyan was worried. She only knew that Zhan Mingkang came from a well-off family and was fair and tender. She thought he was favored at home, so she placed her hopes on Zhan Mingkang. But what if... he was just an abandoned child in the countryside.
Will she be able to follow him back to the city in the future
"Akang said his mother treated him very well..."
Zhan Aiping said: "My father's two sons went to the countryside as educated youth. Our family is different from other families. We have strict requirements and we have to temper ourselves in the most difficult environment. Let me talk about me. I also worked in Shanghai before, and later I followed the army here."
Zhou Yanyan was stunned: "...Ah?"
She had seen many educated youth in the countryside, many of whom had correct thoughts, but she had never seen anyone with such correct thoughts as Sister Zhan in front of her, and she didn't know how to react.
What is the situation with the Zhan family
Zhan Aiping said meaningfully: "If you persuade him to work harder, his parents will definitely like you."
Zhou Yanyan: “…”
So there is such a thing.
Zhou Yanyan almost understood. It seemed that it was true that Zhan Mingkang came from a well-off family and was spoiled by his mother since childhood. It was probably because of this that his family deliberately sent him to the countryside to train and improve himself through hard work.
I see…
Zhou Yanyan felt that the Zhan family had old-fashioned ideas. It was a different era, but they were still thinking about these things. There must be a few old revolutionary comrades in the family who talked about the principle of remembering the bitter past and thinking about the sweet present every day.
Nowadays, using connections to get things done is the right thing to do. Everything depends on relationships and favors. Zhan Mingkang is just a person who is afraid of the consequences. What's the problem with that
There are a lot of educated youth who are lazy and slacking off.
"Okay, Sister Zhan, I understand." Zhou Yanyan continued to plan in her mind. Zhan Mingkang's current situation was exactly what she wanted. His family made him suffer, and he must be feeling aggrieved. At this time, he needed a good sister like her to understand him, care about him, and get into his heart.
Zhan Aiping: "... As long as you understand."
Zhan Aiping felt that the situation between Zhou Yanyan and Zhan Mingkang was a bit unpleasant, but she also thought that it was a matter of mutual consent, and Zhan Mingkang might be willing to do so.
Having such a good sister caring for him.
It is hard to say whether Zhou Yanyan can win over Zhan Mingkang.
Zhan Aiping found an opportunity to pull Gu Sheng aside and talk to him, talking about Zhan Mingkang and Zhou Yanyan beside him, "I think Zhan Mingkang seems to care about her a lot."
Gu Sheng raised his handsome eyebrows: "I care about you too, my wife."
Zhan Aiping smiled and patted him on the chest, "How old is Zhan Mingkang, and how old is this Sister Zhou? They really have become a child-raising husband."
Gu Sheng said: "You also have what others have."
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Yes, you are also my child-raising husband."
Gu Sheng asked curiously, "Do you want to break up the couple?"
Zhan Aiping crossed her arms and said, "Why would I fight against the couple? I'm just here to watch the show. What does it have to do with me if they find a partner?"
"I'm the sister-in-law who doesn't cause trouble. Are you relieved?"
Gu Sheng gave her a doting look and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Just let me marry your younger sister to your younger brother."
Gu Sheng hugged her waist, and Zhan Aiping sighed: "Speaking of which, my brothers are really lucky in love. When they go to the countryside, there is no shortage of girls around them."
"Also, Captain Gu must have received a lot of flirtatious glances on a daily basis."
"Aren't the girls in the propaganda team pretty? Seeing a young and handsome leader like you, I wish your wife would die sooner."
Gu Sheng pinched her face: "... Don't talk nonsense, I'm still waiting to make you an old woman, so that they won't be jealous of my beautiful wife."
"Beautiful and capable."
Zhan Aiping: "Thanks to you, I am now a mother of three children."
"Same here, I'm the father of three kids now."
Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng talked for a while. The four children were playing in the mud in the village. The children were free at this time and there were few vehicles on the main roads, so there was no need to worry about the children getting into traffic accidents. As for trafficking of children, the cost of trafficking children in other places was too high. Now there was not much mobility of people and all transportation channels were strictly checked. If you were not careful, you would be suspected of being an enemy agent or a spy. You always needed to carry your identity certificate and letter of introduction with you, otherwise you would be in trouble.
Chen Yuan came to Zhongzhuang to meet Shen Liqing. She and Shen Liqing were old friends and former pen pals. She was an educated youth who went to the countryside a few years ago. In her letter, she told Shen Liqing a lot of interesting things about her time in the countryside. She also encouraged Shen Liqing to be with Wang Youli and encouraged her to marry an officer and come here with the army. Now, so many years have passed, Shen Liqing's children can run and jump, but Chen Yuan is still an educated youth in the countryside.
Chen Yuan lived with another male educated youth and had a daughter. There were several real couples among these educated youth who lived together, but most of them did not have a marriage certificate. Legally they were still single, because they could simply hold a wedding banquet in the countryside and get married, which was not considered as hooliganism.
Most rural couples in the countryside do not get a marriage certificate. In their opinion, as long as the wedding ceremony is held, it doesn't matter whether they have a marriage certificate or not. Some rural couples never have a marriage certificate in their entire lives.
Chen Yuan said: "Shen Liqing, how are you doing?"
Shen Liqing said: "Raising two children is a bit tiring."
Chen Yuan: “…”
Chen Yuan wanted to know if Shen Liqing regretted it. "Qingqing, let me tell you, I have a way to go back to the city. Now the educated youth can apply for medical retirement and return to the city."
As long as your family has connections, you can now apply for retirement due to illness and return to the city. Many educated youth in Shanghai have already returned to the city.
If she could also return to the city, Shen Liqing would be so envious of her.
"Go back to the city?" Shen Liqing was stunned: "You still want to go back? What about your child?"
"Her father is here." Chen Yuan was anxious to return to the city. She didn't want to take care of her husband and daughter anymore. If she could return to the city, with her conditions, she might be able to find a better husband.
As long as she returns to Shanghai, who knows whether she has married and had children.
Shen Liqing: “…”
Shen Liqing didn't try to persuade her either. It was Chen Yuan's own business.
Chen Yuan lifted her hair and said, "This place is still too remote. You and that Zhan guy will definitely regret marrying here in the future. You two fools are so stupid."
At this point, Chen Yuan was not afraid to speak her true feelings. She thought Shen Liqing was stupid.
"Humph." Chen Yuan snorted coldly, "What regret or not? It's just a broken tooth swallowing. If she is given another chance to choose, do you think she will marry or not?"
Shen Liqing said: "I would probably still marry Lao Wang, not because of him, but because I couldn't bear to part with the two fish."
Chen Yuan: "... You, you are just stubborn in words, if I give you another choice, you still come here if you don't believe me."
The two of them had no idea what to say, so Shen Liqing stopped talking to her.
After having a drink at noon, the two families went back. On the way back, each family took a separate car, because the two men refused to let their wives get in the car.
Zhan Aiping was sitting in the back of the car. She was very disgusted with her two children. "Captain Gu, look at your two children. They have rolled in the mud. They are so dirty. They are so dirty."
"Oh, I don't want this child anymore."
When Sweet and Sour Pork and Little Tangyuan arrived at this rural village where they had few familiar faces, they started having fun everywhere, without caring about their image.
Comrade Xiao Zhan and Comrade Xiao Gu had three tons of idol baggage when they were young, and as their children, the Guo Bao Rou brother and sister were no less inferior.
In front of the soldier on guard, Xiao Tangyuan is a gentle and sweet-mouthed Xiao Tangyuan, not a strong and weird one.
The reason why she tried so hard to coax her father was also to get others to praise her.
As for sweet and sour pork, there is no need to mention this child. He always prides himself on being smart and never plays childish games. Even he was forced to jump rope by his sister.
Without anyone to help him, Guo Bao Rou climbed onto the passenger seat. Although he had short legs and arms, he still acted like an adult and felt very elegant. He patted the mud on his clothes and threw the pot away nonchalantly: "It's not that I want to play in the mud, I'm just taking care of my sister."
How could such a smart boy like playing in the mud
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Little Tangyuan sat down next to her mother and responded, "Yes, my brother is here to take care of me."
She is a good sister who cares about her brother's emotions.
Little Tangyuan patted the mud on his hands and hummed a tuneless song.
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Comrade Xiao Zhan pulled the sleeve of the person next to him and gave him a look: Captain Gu, I think your children are so fake.
Gu Sheng mouthed silently: "Pretentious."
Zhan Aiping's expression changed immediately. She glared at him and held little Tangyuan in her arms. "Let's ignore Daddy. Yuanyuan is Mommy's sweet baby."
"Well, I am my mother's sweet little baby." Little Tangyuan happily hugged his mother's neck with his muddy hands.
Zhan Aiping wanted to throw away her daughter but didn’t want to… No matter whether it was a boy or a girl, they didn’t pay much attention to hygiene when they were young.
Nowadays, the one with the most problems in their family is Zhan Aiping. She has been a doctor for so many years and has long been accustomed to disinfection and loves to wash her hands.
Gu Sheng said with a smile: "You want to throw it away, right? Dad is so pitiful. On weekdays, if he wants to hug your mom, he has to take a bath as soon as he gets home, otherwise he won't let him touch you."
Little Tangyuan asked curiously, "Dad doesn't care about hygiene?"
Zhan Aiping: "... Yuanyuan, let's take a look at your little paws."
Zhan Aiping took her daughter's hand and asked her to take a closer look at her dirty hands. Little Tangyuan immediately showed her mother a "goldfish brain". She seemed to realize belatedly: "Mom, why are my hands so black!"
Zhan Aiping asked: "Have you forgotten what you did today?"
"Mom, what did I do?" The daughter with big watery eyes looked at her mother innocently and ignorantly.
Zhan Aiping snorted twice and slapped her little hand, "Dad, did you bring a mirror? Let your daughter take a look at herself."
Gu Sheng said: "I brought it."
Comrade Gu took out a small mirror in public.
Little Tangyuan quickly covered his face and crawled into his mother's arms, "I don't want to look, I don't want to look..."
As long as she doesn't look, she doesn't know how dirty she is.
Zhan Aiping was so confused that her daughter was covering her face with her dirty hands... She really wanted to throw away this dirty daughter.
Gu Sheng looked at her with amusement: "Is your mother, who studies medicine, going to be unable to bear this?"
Zhan Aiping grabbed her daughter's little paw and comforted herself and her husband: "You don't have to be too delicate with your child."
If you take care of it too carefully, it will not be able to strengthen the body's immunity.
Little Tangyuan popped his head out of his mother's arms: "Dad, let's look at mom's photo."
Zhan Aiping was puzzled: "What photo of my mother?"
Little Tangyuan said: "Dad always has a photo of Mom."
Zhan Aiping patted Gu Sheng on the body and asked, "What are you two doing behind my back?"
Gu Sheng said, "It's old news, my dear. You know that after so many years in the army, the only habit I can't change is carrying your photo with me."
Little Tangyuan said: "I also want to take my mother's photo to school."
Zhan Aiping was speechless and choked: "No, no, do you think that mom's photo is a talisman to ward off evil spirits?"
Gu Sheng taught his daughter: "Only Dad can carry Mom's photo with him, you take your brother's."
Little Tangyuan hesitated for a moment: "Then forget it."
The sweet and sour pork in front looked back and said: "..."
Little Tangyuan said: "Mom also likes to sneak a peek at Dad's photos—"
Zhan Aiping covered her little mouth and said, "Are you still my sweetheart?"
This dirty little cotton-padded jacket is always leaking air.
Zhan Aiping took the little Tangyuan and put it into Gu Sheng’s arms: “Hold your dirty bun.”
"Dirty bun?" Gu Sheng held his daughter, but in his heart he was thinking of holding his own wife, "Wife, do you want to look in the mirror?"
Zhan Aiping wiped her face and said, "Forget it, I won't take any more photos. Out of sight, out of mind."
She and her daughter are well aware of the principle of covering one's ears and stealing a bell, and what you can't see doesn't exist.
Gu Sheng smiled gently and wiped her face.
"Give me back my dirty daughter."
Little Tangyuan said happily: "Mom, I will draw a beard for you!"
Her little black hands can now be used as a paintbrush. Over the years, the only hobby that little comrade Yuanyuan has insisted on is painting. It's a pity that she can't show it off on weekdays. People only praise her for her dancing skills.
Zhan Aiping: “?!!!”
"Take it, take your daughter."
The family returned home in a noisy manner, and Zhan Aiping found some time to call Zhan Bo.
"I went to see Zhan Mingkang, and he is doing well."
I'm afraid I'll find you a "smart" and good wife.
Zhan Aiping did not make this clear.
"What's not bad?" Zhan Bo wanted to ask in more detail, but Zhan Aiping had already hung up the phone.
It was almost the end of the year again, and Gu Ze'an also called Zhan Aiping, saying that Brother Gu Sheng was coming to visit them, and vaguely revealed something like:
"Help his elder brother find a partner."
Zhan Aiping was very surprised: "What?!"
Gu Ze'an said: "Let Lao Wu stimulate him a little more!"
The eldest son of the Gu family performed a trick this year, although he failed in the end, it brought hope to Gu Ze'an and his wife. Perhaps there will be one less bachelor in their family.
Zhan Aiping: "...exciting?"
