Second Marriage in the 1970s

Today is Fangfang’s birthday. After today, he will be a three-year-old kid.

"Mom, do you want to give me a present for my birthday?"

When she got up in the morning when she got dressed, she asked Jiahui with a look of expectation.

"You know you want a gift when you are so young? Then tell me, what kind of gift do you want."

A few months ago Yingbao celebrated her birthday, Jiahui made her a pink bunny headband and said it was a gift for her, only for her birthday. Fufang may keep remembering it, waiting until his own birthday. If you don't have time, ask Jiahui for it.

Jiahui asked Fangfang what gift he wanted. He tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally jumped up and hooked Jiahui’s neck with a smile and said, "I want my mother’s kiss, and I want my mother to be with me tonight. I sleep."

When Fangfang was two years old, he slept with his brother Black Egg. Zhao Donglin said that boys should be independent as soon as possible and cannot sleep with their parents for a long time.

Jiahui believes that Zhao Donglin allowed the two-year-old to sleep independently, and I am afraid there is more than one reason...

When Jiahui took it into the dining room, the family was already sitting at the table.

"Morning grandma! Daddy early! Second uncle early! Aunt early! Brother early! Sister early!"

They all shouted one by one, everyone responded with a smile, Zhang Qiao'er put them down and picked them up from the ground.

"Let it go, let's see what grandma cooked for you, poached eggs, we have to eat poached eggs for birthdays."

This is the rule of the old Zhao family. Eating eggs on birthday is a small sense of ritual in a life that is not very wealthy.

"Thank you grandma, I love grandma the most."

With a snap, she kissed Zhang Qiao'er on the cheek, making Zhang Qiao'er happy, her eyes narrowed.

The breakfast at Zhao’s family is quite hearty, with rice porridge and burritos just pickles, and the children have a small bowl of milk. Jiahui ordered the children after entering the city.

At first, the children didn't like the taste. Every time they drank half a spoonful of brown sugar, they got used to it. And Jiahui said that drinking more milk will not only grow taller, but also become smarter and smarter.

He sat on the chair and shook his calf, eating the poached egg bite by bite. After eating it for a while, he slipped off the chair by himself and had to go to serve the bowl.

"Hey, baby, what are you doing with the bowl? You are small and can't hold it."

"I want to give my brother a poached egg."

Fang Fang said that his brother is a black egg, besides Jiahui at home, his favorite is the black egg, because he was taken with him since childhood, taught him to speak, read characters, recite ancient poems, and sing to him at night. tell a story.

The black egg swallowed the last bite of the burrito, smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't need it, I'm already full, you can eat it yourself."

Refusing to let it go, he had to give him a poached egg.

Shishi deliberately asked, "Let it go, I'm also an older brother, why don't you tell me the same thing."

"I have only one left."

Fang Fangsheng was afraid that Brother Stone would really "grab" his eggs to eat. He used his body to "protect" the bowl, just like a chicken is protecting the food. This action is accompanied by his round face, which is incredibly cute.

"Let it go, Auntie wants to eat it too, will you give it to Auntie?"

"Let it go, grandma wants to eat too, will you give it to grandma?"

Let it go, take a look at him, and cried out.

"I just want to eat for my brother, I will give it to my brother, no one else will give it."

The black egg walked over and hugged it, patted him and coaxed softly, "Let it go, don't cry, brother is already full, can I feed you this egg well?"

Fang Fang held up the cry, but the voice was still a little choked.

"Brother... uh... don't you eat anymore?"

The black egg nodded, "Well, my brother drank the milk and ate the cake. I really can't eat it anymore. Let me help my brother and finish eating this egg?"

Fang Fang wiped his tears, gave a heavy hmm, opened his mouth and waited for his brother to feed him.

Xiaoshouxing finally stopped crying, Meixiang patted her heart in fright. She couldn't hear her crying the most. When she cried, she felt at a loss and didn't know how to coax her.

After eating breakfast, Fang Fangfang went to school with Shito Yingbao with his schoolbag on his back, Fang Fangfei followed them, and sent them outside the courtyard.

"Brother and sister, you guys will come back early, for my birthday today, my mother will make some good food."

He spoke and waved, amused all passers-by, and praised him for being smart and cute.

"Let it go, what do you want? Sister-in-law bought it for you as an apology, okay?"

Meixiang was also guilty of crying Fang Fang while eating. Of course, she originally planned to buy a gift for Fang Fang today. Her brother and sister-in-law are so kind to her. She has nothing to repay, but can only be better to her nephew.

Let's put people in a small devil, I don’t know if he understands what is meant by "apologize". When he got up, he told Jiahui that the gift he wanted was to kiss her mother. If she wanted to sleep with her mother, she changed the term with Meixiang. .

"Aunt, I want fireworks, the one I used to play with my brother."

Before the Chinese New Year, the family went back to their hometown. Zhao Donglin bought a lot of fireworks from the city and went back to play with the children. During the Chinese New Year, one person took a few in his hand when it was dark and lit the fire with a dazzling light, the children Very happy, Fangfang also wanted to play with his brothers. Jiahui disagreed, saying that he was still young and could only play together when he was as old as his brothers.

Fangfang has been hoping that he will grow up soon so that he can play fireworks with his brothers. Today he celebrated his birthday. Grandma said he would be one year older after his birthday, so now he has grown up and can play fireworks!

Meixiang snorted and smiled speechlessly. She thought she would put at most what she wanted to eat or toys. She didn't expect that his favorite gift turned out to be fireworks. She didn't dare to buy this for her little nephew.

"Let it go, this won't work. Although you are one year older than you last year, you are still younger than your brothers, so you still can't play. You have to grow up to be as old as your brothers."

Fang Fang pouted in disappointment, "Then when will I grow to be the age of my brothers?"

Meixiang squinted her eyes and patted her head, gently comforting, "As long as she eats hard and sleeps hard, she will soon be able to catch up with her brothers and sisters, so please cheer for her."

After speaking, Mika pulled the strap of her schoolbag and waved goodbye to Fang Fang.

"Let it go, my aunt has gone to school. When my aunt comes back, I will buy you a toy. Boys love to play."

Poor let go, he still doesn't understand at this time, he can't grow as big as his brother in his life, because his brother will always be older than him.

In the evening, Fufang received a lot of birthday presents. Aunt’s toys, second uncle’s top, grandma’s cloth shoes, grandpa’s and grandma’s Parker pens. The eldest brother gave him his favorite comics, and the second brother gave them. My sister gave a painting to her slingshot.

"Mom and dad, what are you giving me?"

He liked every gift he put, but he still remembered that his parents didn't give him a gift.

"Didn't you say that mom is a gift as long as you kiss you?"

Jiahui asked this deliberately, and after a while, she seemed to have said so.

"Well then, mom kisses me as a gift."

After speaking, he nodded on his cheek and motioned to his mother to kiss her, Jiahui really had a past, and kissed her little cheek.

"What about Dad? Dad didn't prepare a gift for me, right?"

Zhao Donglin smiled and took out a ball from behind, attracting the children's eyes.

"The ball!"

"Uncle's gift is a ball!"

This is a real ball. There are no children who don't like the ball. They cheered and hugged the ball in his arms, looking very happy.

"Dad, you are really my good father!"

Zhao Donglin smiled and picked up the youngest son, and lifted his son to the top of his head.

"Now I know that Dad is fine, who said that I hate Dad all day long."

"No, I like Dad the most. Of course, I also like my mother the most, my brother the most, and my grandma the most..."

Everyone covered their mouths and looked at them, and the black egg looked at him. His mood may be more complicated. On the one hand, he really loves this younger brother. On the other hand, he also envied the intimacy between his father and his younger brother, which he rarely has. .

When he was born, his father was in the army, and he didn't see each other for many years as an adult. Later, he often saw his father, but his parents were also divorced.

Because he was sensible early, he couldn't completely release the childlike innocence like Fang Fang, but he really hoped that he could live like his younger brother.

Meixiang's thesis was completed very smoothly. The requirements for the thesis of the college are not high, and the focus is on the teaching level. Meixiang's score is above 90 points.

"Student Zhao Meixiang, congratulations on your successful graduation. From now on you will be an honorable teachers of the people."

The principal issued a certificate of completion to each student and took a group photo with the students.

"Wudong Teachers College, all teachers and students of the 1977 grade. Taken on June 21, 1979."

This is the memory of youth, this is the journey of dreams. They have experienced a different era. Their youth is rich and beautiful that no one else has ever experienced.

"I can't bear it, everyone is going to say goodbye so soon."

"Who said no, when I entered school, it felt like yesterday."

Everything is vividly visible.

"In fact, it's okay. A lot of people are not together. Even if they are not together, there will still be many opportunities to meet in the future."

"Yes, anyway, I stay in the provincial capital. Please remember to find me when you come back. I will invite you to dinner."

"That is necessary, you are the host, and you have to use the spirit of the host."

Meixiang looked at the students talking with a smile, and felt that the beauty of this moment was worth remembering for a lifetime.

Now that she has graduated, she has to report to the new school. It will not be long before the good things pass. The school will also have summer vacation. For this, Jiahui is still very envious.

"There are three months of paid vacation a year, Meixiang, I have already begun to envy your work."

Meixiang smiled indifferently. Sister-in-law is not really envious. If it is not easy for her to be a teacher, her English is so good, so many schools are rushing to ask for it.

But, my sister-in-law is an unstoppable temperament. I have to find something to be busy when I am idle. Just like now, I am doing translation work while attending class, and occasionally I use sewing machines to make small things, such as dolls, key cases, etc. For the first flower or something, the little girl likes these things, and they must be easy to sell.

Meixiang couldn't help shaking her head. Energetic people are really scary, and no matter what, they can turn into RMB in their eyes. This is indeed an amazing skill.
