Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

However, Cai Xiaopang's mother died of illness when he was twelve years old. Not long after, Uncle Cai was transferred to another place, and Cai Xiaopang followed him. Only Grandpa Cai and Grandma Cai lived here.

Last year, Uncle Cai retired and moved back to live with Grandpa and Grandma Cai.

Uncle Cai never remarried and had only one son, Cai Xiaopang.

Cai Xiaopang was an only child and didn't have to go to the countryside, but he took the initiative to sign up for the Up to the Countryside Movement. He trained in the countryside for eight years and returned to the city only after he was admitted to university in 1977.

After dinner, Wu's father and mother cleaned up the dishes together, and then took Yuanchun to the Cai family next door.

The Cai family had just finished their meal and the whole family was sitting in the yard.

Grandma Cai waved to Yuanchun, "Xiaochun, come here and sit here with grandma."

"Grandma Cai, you look very good today. Are you happy that your grandson is back?" Yuanchun took a small spoon and sat in front of Grandma Cai.

Grandma Cai smiled and narrowed her eyes. "I am so happy. I have been looking forward to this day of family reunion for more than ten years."

"Grandma Cai, good days are still waiting for you. You must take good care of yourself and try to live to be a hundred years old. You must see your great-grandson be born, grow up and get married."

"Oh, Xiaochun is such a sweet girl." Grandma Cai happily held Yuanchun's hand and was reluctant to let go. "Xiaopang, come here. This is your sister Xiaochun. You still remember her, right? You loved her the most when you were a child. Whenever you had something delicious, you would always send a portion to your sister Xiaochun."

Cai Xiaopang.

Cai Mingyi looked at her with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, "Sister Xiaochun, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You have grown into a big girl. I almost couldn't recognize you."

"Cai Xiaopang, I didn't expect that you won't be fat at all when you grow up. You should change your name to Cai Xiaoshou."

Cai Mingyi has a slender figure, three-dimensional facial features, and is very handsome.

But those peach blossom eyes seemed very affectionate. The Cai Xiaopang in the original owner's memory did not have peach blossom eyes, but he was too fat at that time, and his eyes were fattened into a slit, and no shape could be seen.

Now that he has lost weight, he has become a handsome guy.

Grandma Cai laughed. "Chun girl is right. Xiaopang has suffered a lot in the country in the past few years. He has lost a lot of weight. But he is more energetic and stronger than before. He has become good at farming and growing vegetables. He helped me turn over the two rows of vegetable fields this evening. It didn't take much effort."

"After dinner, she would take the initiative to wash the dishes. This is a habit she developed in the countryside. I heard that in the Youth House, regardless of gender, everyone took turns cooking and washing dishes."

Cai Mingyi said awkwardly, "Grandma, cooking and washing dishes are all easy jobs, which are taken turns by the female educated youth. We male educated youth are responsible for diving and chopping wood."

Grandpa Cai praised, "Men should give way to women. You did a good job in this regard and deserve praise."

Grandma Cai said, "When you marry a wife, you must be more considerate of her. Men must do all the housework they can do. A wife is brought into the family to be loved, not to be a slave."

As Grandma Cai spoke, she glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Wu.

Seeing that Father and Mother Wu were very agreeable, Grandma Cai smiled and said, "My little fat boy has been in the countryside for a few years and studied for a few more years. He is already 28 years old. I don't know when I will be able to drink tea from my grandson's wife."

Mother Wu smiled and said, "Xiao Pang is so outstanding, there must be a lot of girls who like him."
