The couple made a living in the 1950s

I really made up my mind to give up my relationship with Wang Wei on a hot afternoon.

It was the third day after I returned home from a vegetarian dinner at his house.

Before that, he had come to my house to see me for two consecutive days, but I didn't see him because I was too angry.

I still remember that day, after lunch at home, I cleaned myself up.

I rode my bike to his house.

I thought, I should see his attitude.

If after marriage, he can put our small family before his parents and sisters in his heart.

Then whether his parents and sisters are good or bad, we can live our own lives.

It was already 1:30 in the afternoon when I rode to the gate of his courtyard.

Maybe because the weather was too hot, I didn't meet anyone on the way in.

The door of his house was open, and I just raised my hand to knock on the door when I heard voices coming from inside.

"Xiao Wei, go find Lan Yu later."

"We have something to say to you."

Hearing this, I turned aside.

"Xiao Wei, your second sister has already found out that the dowry given by Lan Yu's elder sister's family when she got married was 500 yuan."

"It was her brother-in-law's eldest brother who said this when he was drunk."

"When Lan Yu married you, her family would not give less dowry."

"Then did you ask how much betrothal gifts Lan Yu's elder brother-in-law's family gave at that time?"

Wang Wei's voice already showed his suppressed anger.

When I heard this, my heart inexplicably calmed down and became a little more excited.

"Woo woo woo..."

After a while, the intermittent crying of several women came from his house.

"Xiao Wei, our dad has a formal job in the factory."

"We sisters were assigned jobs after graduation."

"But you can see how tired we work every day in the factory."

"We sisters can't compare with Lan Yu. It will be easy for her to make money in the future."

"You two will have a good life after you get married."

"The only ones who have a bad life are our parents and us."

"Save some money for the betrothal gifts now, so that our parents will have more money in the future."

Wang Wei sighed from inside, "Sister, I have always wanted to ask you, why did the 400 yuan you agreed to with me that day turn into 66 yuan in the end."

"You still say it's a loan for this 66 yuan?"

There was no voice in the room for a long time, so long that I was ready to turn around and leave, and come to see him tomorrow.

As soon as I turned around, I heard the voice of the third sister of the Bai family coming from inside the room.

"Xiao Wei, Third Sister knows that you like Lan Yu and want to marry her."

"Listen to Third Sister, don't worry. She has been with you for so many years. Who else would want her except you now?"

"Bang..."

There was a sound of tables and chairs colliding in the room. It should be Wang Wei who was sitting on the chair and stood up.

"Third Sister, what are you talking about? Lan Yu and I have always been in love and stopped at courtesy."

"Xiao Wei, Mom thinks your Third Sister is right."

"Mom knows that Lan Yu is still a virgin."

"But you two have kissed and hugged each other over the years. Do you think Lan Yu will abandon you and find someone else to marry now?"

I don't know how long I waited outside the door at that time. I only know that I never waited for Wang Wei to speak again.

I have forgotten how I rode my bicycle home at that time.

I only remember that Wang Wei's eyes turned red when he saw me standing outside the door.

He never came to see me again, and I tried hard not to think about him.

It's not that we don't like each other, but there are too many people standing between us, so we can never get married.

At the beginning, I also went on a few blind dates, but I just felt awkward no matter how we got along.

Until three years later, Sister Yu and I met Lin Haolin at the door of her unit.

At that time, he was wearing a Zhongshan suit and walking from a distance.

He curled his lips and looked at Sister Yu. He was obviously exhausted, but his eyes were full of smiles that made people unable to take their eyes off him.

That noon, the three of us had lunch together for the first time.

What I didn't expect was that Lin Haolin appeared at the door of the municipal government in a military uniform at noon the next day.

At that time, I followed the security comrade out, and when I saw that he came to see me, I was a little bit unresponsive for a while.

It wasn't until he walked in front of me that I came to my senses.

I couldn't help but glance at his collar badge. It turned out that he was a major general. At that time, it was the first time I saw an officer with such a high rank.

He is a very charming man, knowledgeable and handsome.

He is obviously 40 years old, but he looks like he is only 35 or 36 years old.

His aura of planning and strategizing seems to be engraved in his bones..

Sometimes I not only find it funny, but all the men in Sister Yu's family seem to have such temperament.

He is also a very good man, since the day we met.

He has never affected my life, but he has never left my life.

I know that he is slowly waiting for me to get used to him.

When we were together, every step forward together was in his plan.

But at that time, I had been woven into his net and didn't want to struggle anymore.

One month after we met, I took him home to meet my parents.

He was born in 1919, 13 years older than me. I thought it would be difficult for us to pass the parents' test.

Unexpectedly, since my father talked to him alone, he was only full of satisfaction with him.

I once asked him what he said to my father at that time that made him so satisfied with you.

He didn't tell me, I think maybe he would never want me to know.

After meeting my parents, we went to get the marriage certificate directly one month later.

The wedding was also held in the military camp, according to the custom of the army.

Our eldest son Jingxiao was born in August 1961.

The Lin family's generation is the Jing generation.

Jingxiao, these two words come from, "Viewing Huaihai from the scenery, and looking at Heluo from the clouds"

I still remember how happy he was when he first saw his son. He was as happy as a child.

Before I came here, I had never seen him show such emotions.

When I was in confinement, Yu came to see me.

She brought me the news that Wang Wei was going to get married, and he was marrying a colleague from the personnel department of their unit.

When I heard the news, I was really happy for him from the bottom of my heart.

There was no debt between him and me. In that relationship, we treated each other wholeheartedly.

But later, as we walked, we drifted apart.

Even if we no longer like each other now, I hope he can live a good life.

After Hanyu left that day, I made a lot of promises to appease that jealous and unhappy man.
