Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Yuanchun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded shyly, "Brother Cheng Fang, please ask the village head grandmother to be the matchmaker. I have a pound of brown sugar here, and you can add ten eggs and use them as a matchmaker gift."

She and Cheng Fang started their relationship when she was sixteen years old.

Cheng Fang has been waiting for her to come of age.

Now that she is an adult, it is time for the two of them to get married.

Seeing that she agreed, Cheng Fang smiled like a fool, "Well, then I'll go find the village head lady now, I..."

"Brother Cheng Fang, why are you in such a hurry? Finish your meal first and go tomorrow."

Seeing that he wanted to run away halfway through the meal, Yuanchun quickly grabbed him and said, "Marriage is a matter of two days, so one night is not a big deal."

Cheng Fang chuckled, "I am just anxious. I can't wait to marry you home. No, I want to marry into your family, Yuanchun. I want to marry into your family."

Yuanchun was stunned, "Brother Cheng Fang, you want to marry into my family?"

Then he asked, "Is it because of your dad?"

Cheng Fang's smile disappeared, and he hummed in a sullen voice, "I'm worried that after we get married, he will come to bother you when I'm not at home. Only when I marry into the Liu family and become the son-in-law, will he not dare to bother you."

Speaking of Cheng Fang's father Cheng Ping, he is also a weirdo.

In 60, there was a severe drought. Cheng Ping suddenly came to Xiaxi Village and asked Cheng Fang, a child, for food, saying that his family was about to starve to death.

Although Cheng Ping abandoned Cheng Fang to become a son-in-law and no longer cared about Cheng Fang's life or death, he still had a place as a father in Cheng Fang's heart.

He couldn't bear to watch his father starve to death, so he gave him a bag of food.

After that, Cheng Ping came to get food every month.

Every time he comes, he cries about being poor and hungry.

Cheng Fang was kind-hearted and would give him a small bag of food every time.

Later, when Cheng Fang ran out of food, Cheng Ping immediately turned against him and forced him to borrow from the villagers.

At that time, it was the summer of 60, the final stage of the drought and the time when food was most scarce. Even in Xiaxi Village, which had been well prepared, many families ran out of food.

At that time, food was life.

Cheng Fang didn't have the nerve to borrow money, so he was beaten by Cheng Ping.

For the next two years, Cheng Ping never came to Xiaxicun again.

Cheng Fang was able to survive the most difficult months thanks to Yuanchun's support.

It was not until 63, when Cheng Fang got his junior high school diploma and went to work in the county transport team, that Cheng Ping reappeared.

Cheng Ping had the audacity to ask Cheng Fang to transfer the job to his stepson.

Cheng Fang said, "Has your stepson ever been to school? Although the transportation team only has drivers and loaders, you still need a junior high school education to join."

After Cheng Ping knew that he would not get the job, he shamelessly asked Cheng Fang to hand over his salary to him as his father for safekeeping.

That year, Cheng was only 18 years old and had just joined the transport team. He was still an apprentice who could not drive and earned only 18 yuan a month.

18 yuan is a huge sum of money for rural people.

Of course Cheng Fang refused to agree.

After Cheng Ping took away all his food and ignored his life during the drought year, Cheng Fang completely lost all feelings for this father.

He didn't want to give Cheng Ping a penny.

I don't want to encourage his greed.

Cheng Fang called the village chief and the team leader, asking them to sever ties with Cheng Ping, but Cheng Ping disagreed, saying that Cheng Fang owed him for giving birth to her and for raising her for five years, and that the house where Cheng Fang lived also belonged to him, Cheng Ping.

If you want to sever ties, that's fine, then return the favor and the house to him first.
