Second Marriage in the 1970s

After breakfast, Zhang Qiaoer asked Meixiang to take Yingbao at home, while she took Jiahui to the captain's house.

"Your brother Huaishan has a good relationship with our family. I'm ready to greet you. You can do whatever job he arranges for you. Don't bear it if you encounter anyone who makes you difficult. Come back and tell me, I'll find it for you. Go to the place."

On the way, Zhang Qiaoer told Jiahui about the team. There are dozens of families in a production team with more than 200 people. There are 16 production teams in Shanghe Village.

Who is close to her own, who is the most difficult to get along with, who loves cheating, who loves petty theft, etc., she explained to Jiahui one by one.

Dong Jiahui is a new daughter-in-law, and she didn't go in for a few days after the marriage. Except for a few familiars, more than half of the people in the village didn't know her. Zhang Qiaoer mentioned that she couldn't meet her for a while.

This is when people in the village are going out for activities. Seeing Zhang Qiao'er walking along the road with Jiahui, she can't help but step forward and say a few words.

"Cinnamon, where should I take my wife?"

"Go to Huaishan's house."

After Zhang Qiaoer answered, she turned around and introduced Jiahui, "This is your fifth aunt and lives in the third house in the front row of our house."

Dong Jiahui stood aside with a decent smile, "Good aunt."

The fifth aunt has been observing Dong Jiahui quietly. Today Dong Jiahui is wearing a claret coat, black overalls, white sneakers on her feet, a braid hanging behind her head, bangs in the middle, white skin, and eyes. Looking at the person with a smile, his small mouth was smeared with a red color, and he looked elegant and delicate.

She tweeted in her heart, thinking that this Zhao family would really marry a daughter-in-law. The previous Wang Mei was pretty good, and the newly married woman was not even different. She said that the second daughter-in-law Yuefen is also dignified and generous.

"Oh, your daughter-in-law looks so cute, so people love it at first sight."

Aunt Wu's words are half true. Dong Jiahui's looks are really pleasing. Who doesn't like smiling faces, but Aunt Wu is unacceptable about divorce. She doesn't understand Zhang Qiaoer's desire to treat his wife as a baby.

But she thought so in her heart that she couldn't say that on her lips, she still had to say something nice, as for how to say it in private is another matter.

Zhang Qiao'er doesn't care if the fifth aunt is telling the truth or not, she is very happy to hear it anyway.

"No, well-behaved and sensible, good at cooking, good at making clothes, good housework, but too honest, I look worried."

The fifth aunt smiled and said, "I see, you don't have an extra daughter-in-law, you seem to have an extra daughter-in-law."

Zhang Qiao'er also smiled, "No, this girl is more caring than her relatives."

After a few jokes, they separated. Zhang Qiaoer and Jiahui continued to walk forward. After walking more than 500 meters, she finally arrived at the house of Captain Ding Huaishan.

"This is the captain of our production team, you brother Huaishan, this is your sister-in-law Ping."

Ding Huaishan was young but very anxious. He was tall and burly. He had a simple and honest smile when he smiled. Aunt Ping was very enthusiastic. When she saw them, she hurriedly asked them to sit in the house and kept asking them if they had breakfast. No more.

"We ate at home."

"Really? It's your own family, don't be polite, there is sweet potato porridge in the pot."

"You're really welcome, what else is there to be courteous with you."

Speaking of being an aunt, Zhang Qiaoer’s age is not much different from Da Ping. Speaking of Zhang Qiao’er’s own father, he is also a man with a very good story. Ding Huaishan's mother is one of them.

Zhang Qiaoer is her father's old daughter, so she is not a few years older than Ding Huaishan. She still remembers when Ding Huaishan was his mother's wife.

When she was six years old, Ding Huaishan's mother left the Zhang family and married an honest man in the same village who had not married a wife. This man was Ding Huaishan's father.

What's rare is that they don't feel embarrassed, and their relationship is pretty good.

Anyway, when Dong Jiahui knew that the two were in such a relationship, she couldn't describe her feelings as shocked.

Ding Huaishan returned to the house and took out the key, and handed it to Dong Jiahui, “The work of warehouse storage is very simple. It's the same day."

There are many tools of work in the team, such as sickles and hoes, as well as plows, wooden carts, wheelbarrows, tractors, etc., which are all important assets of the team, and they have to rely on these for farm work.

Like tractors, there are only five units in the entire Shanghe Village. Their team belongs to the advanced production team and only has one. They are usually driven by Ding Huaishan's son.

The team leader explained the precautions again, with two important points. One is that things must not be missing, and the other is to ensure that someone is in the warehouse before starting work.

On the first day, Zhang Qiaoer accompanied Dong Jiahui to the warehouse. She was afraid that Jiahui would be under psychological pressure on the way, and comforted her, "Don’t worry, it’s not difficult. Just remember to open the door before 7:40 every day. Who gets what? Remember that time, just close the door before you leave."

Dong Jiahui said that she understood that this job was actually similar to that of some factory custodians in later generations.

On the first day when he officially took office, Dong Jiahui was naturally watched by everyone.

"This is Sister Duck's eldest daughter-in-law?"

"Looking thin on the day of the wedding, it looks okay today."

"When did our team arrange for a custodian? We still need people to watch just such a thing."

"Hey, what the captain arranged is what you said, what's the use."

"Then you have to arrange it beforehand, and the benefits will be taken up by others."

"You are jealous, and you have the ability to ask the captain to arrange it for you."

Speaking of warehouse clerk is easy, but there are not as many work points as there are on the ground. Besides, to write notes every day, you have to know two characters. The slightly older people in the village are illiterate and illiterate, and everyone is used to working. , It feels restrained to be a custodian.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to read. The baby at home is literate. It’s uneconomical for a boy to do this. Isn’t it right for a girl?

I haven't set up an administrator for so many years, and now I suddenly gave this job to Donglin's wife, and no one believes that there is nothing wrong with it.

After opening the warehouse, Dong Jiahui divided the farm tools such as hoes and rakes, took out a notebook, and used a self-made excel sheet to record who borrowed the farm tools and the approximate time.

"We didn't use registration before, so why are we doing so troublesome today."

Most of the people who came to the warehouse to get farm tools were young or elderly laborers. There was no custodian before the team, so naturally nobody registered this.

"Master, look at me on the first day of work today. You can cooperate with me anyway. You only need to move your mouth and I will remember it. You will be used to registering a few times."

As the saying goes, when you reach out your hand without hitting the smiley person, when a young wife speaks to herself with a smile on her face, no one can really put her face down, and she is naturally registered in the end.

Waiting for the people with the tools to leave, Captain Ding Huaishan came to see Dong Jiahui's situation.

"Sister, how is it, can you adapt?"

Dong Jiahui handed over her record book, "Captain, I don't know if this is the right thing to do. Would you like to show it?"

Ding Huaishan's results record book did not respond when I looked at Dong Jiahui's table. The main reason was that it was too formal. It was the same as the task of an accountant making a report and reporting to the commune.

The header is divided into farm tools, borrowers, borrowing time, and whether to return or not. The vertical column is the date.

"You are amazing, have you studied accounting before?"

"No, I just read a few accounting books, I haven't studied it systematically."

Ding Huaishan nodded in satisfaction and handed the notebook to Dong Jiahui.

"Okay, very good, I'm relieved if you do so well."

Originally for Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Donglin’s face, it was reluctant to ask Dong Jiahui to be a custodian. On the way here, he encountered the thorns on the team and was secretly slapped a few words, which meant that he was using power for personal gain. Now it seems that I have made a good decision. At least Dong Jiahui is not an embroidered pillow, and if he encounters other people's nonsense, he has something to say.

After work at noon, everyone returned the farm tools. Zhang Qiaoer was worried, even though she didn't borrow the farm tools, she dropped by to the warehouse.

"How is it today?"

"fine."

"Brother Huaishan also said that you did a good job. He said that you made a list yourself, as good as the village accountant, and praised you for writing well."

Zhang Qiao'er walked over and looked. The paper was drawn with horizontal and vertical lines. It looked very high and deep. She didn't recognize many characters, but she could still tell the quality of the characters. At least the characters written by Dong Jiahui were arranged neatly. Pour it on paper, it's not the same as the words written drunk.

"Go, go home for dinner, I don't know what food Meixiang made today."

Two days ago, Zhao Meixiang also followed Dong Jiahui to learn how to cook. Jiahui started to teach a little bit from the preparation of the dishes. The cooking skills have improved a little bit compared to before. At least she knows what smashed oil is.

"In the future, you don't have to stay there, you can go back when there is no one in the middle."

Dong Jiahui also knew that she could come back in the middle, but she was a newcomer in the workplace on her first day of work today, and she didn't dare to act like an old fritters from the beginning.

"Then I will go back to cook when I have time."

When they got home, the food was already on the table, just waiting for them to get home.

When Yingbao saw Dong Jiahui coming back, he came over with her short legs and asked her to hug her. Dong Jiahui smiled and hugged her, kissed her little face and said, "Do we Yingbao miss me? Seeing me come back So happy."

"I don't miss you anymore. You give her this delicious one at home, and she still picks the one I made for her."

The black egg sat at the dinner table, watching Dong Jiahui holding Yingbao, and watching her kiss Yingbao.

This kind of intimate expression, even Wang Mei has not done to him, the black egg is a little envious, his eyes are fixed, but his mouth is tight, presenting a self-defense posture.

After eating at noon, Dong Jiahui took the initiative to wash the dishes, and the black egg played with stones under the tree alone. Looking through the window, Dong Jiahui saw the black egg’s trousers scratched, and the pants were a bit short. There were also black egg shoes, worn. It was also very serious. He followed Zhao Manzhu to work every day, and his clothes and shoes got dirty easily.

"The black egg is four years old this year, shouldn't he be enlightened?"

"Well, why did you mention this suddenly?"

There are no kindergartens at this time. The children in the village go to elementary school at the age of six or seven. At the age of a black egg, they are not yet in school.

What's more, there is no such thing as enlightenment for children in the countryside at this time.

"He is the best time to learn at his age. He teaches him a little every day, and he will learn faster than others when he goes to school."

Although she has never identified herself as a "mother" or "mother", she still has a basic compassion towards her children, and she tries to fulfill the responsibility of an adult when considering problems.

All kinds of early education are popular in modern times. Children who are a few months old start to take various early education classes. There are also those who start prenatal education as soon as they are pregnant. It can be said that a series of competitions have begun from the mother's womb.

Dong Jiahui raised this question. Zhao Donglin said that it was false not to be touched. In life, Dong Jiahui has taken enough care of the black egg Yingbao. She is a very competent stepmother. No matter how others can make mistakes, she will not only take care of it. Children's lives, even considering their education issues, this is the concern from the heart.

Zhao Donglin held Dong Jiahui's hand and rubbed her palm. No amount of words could express his feelings at this moment.

"I have made many decisions in my life. Apart from going to the army, the most correct decision is to marry you home, really."

This sudden confession made Dong Jiahui a little embarrassed and blushed.

"Why say this all of a sudden."

Zhao Donglin took the opportunity and took him into his arms, full of tenderness in his heart.

"What I say is from my heart. In the past, I was most worried about black eggs and Yingbao. I was afraid that I would find someone else to make them feel wronged. When I saw you, I thought you would be a good mother and a good wife. , It turns out that my choice was not wrong."

This is the first time that Zhao Donglin mentioned the topic of Heidan Yingbao directly. Dong Jiahui has an unspeakable feeling in her heart. Although she really loves Heidan and Yingbao, they are not her own birth after all. They are the children of Zhao Donglin and others. , She sometimes wondered if Zhao Donglin would often think of his ex-wife Wang Mei, saying that the husband and wife would be gracious all night, not to mention that the two had children.

"What's wrong?"

Dong Jiahui shook her head, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking, if I'm not good to the black egg Yingbao, would you be disappointed in me, our feelings..."

"No, there is no such if, what I see is that kind of you, I know you will be good to them, I believe it from the beginning."

"Don't think too much about it. I didn't want to marry you because of this. I really fancy you and appreciate you. Your character is only part of it."

Zhao Donglin was afraid of Jiahui’s misunderstanding, so he explained a few words in a hurry. Dong Jiahui chuckled, “What are you nervous about? That’s what I said. Anyway, as long as you treat me wholeheartedly and don’t think about others, I will definitely treat the child well. , But if you move your mind that shouldn't be moved, I will show you a good look."

She would be willing to marry Zhao Donglin. Being a cheap stepmother, apart from the pressure, she naturally appreciates Zhao Donglin. Although he was divorced and had two children, he is handsome and not too old, at least In modern times, thirty years old is just right.

Moreover, he has an unclear temperament, the perseverance of a soldier, and the connotation of a sub-cultural person. This kind of man is born in the wrong era. If he is in the modern age, he can definitely make a career.

When I went to the warehouse in the afternoon, Dong Jiahui put on the watch that Zhao Donglin bought for her. It was inconvenient for her work. Now she is doing the job of a custodian, which is quite suitable.

Dong Jiahui happened to run into Zheng Yuefen when he was out. Zheng Yuefen's eyes were like radar installed, and he noticed Dong Jiahui's wrist at a glance.

"My sister-in-law still has a watch. I haven't seen you wear it two days ago."

Zheng Yuefen's eyes were burning and what he said was a little inexplicable. Dong Jiahui smiled half-truth and half-truth, "I don't have to explain anything to others. I have a watch. I wear it when I want to wear it. Is there a problem?"

After Dong Jiahui finished speaking, she ignored Zheng Yuefen's expression and went straight to the warehouse, leaving Zheng Yuefen with her dark face grinded against her back.

That watch looks new. It’s definitely a new one. Maybe it’s the bridegroom secretly made up for her by the mother-in-law. If it’s the Dong family’s dowry, why don’t you take it out when giving the dowry? How good, it is impossible to accompany a sewing machine and a watch, but it is a Shanghai brand, more than 100 yuan!

I have to say that Zheng Yuefen is the truth, but she got the object wrong. This form is not a gift, but Zhao Donglin used his retirement allowance to buy it for his wife. It was his private money.
