While the situation on the front line is very good.

The first snow in the city of 1949 also arrived as expected.

The clear snowflakes turned the ancient city into a pure white.

The mottled walls of the courtyard were also somewhat weathered.

After get off work, Li Changyi bought some cooked food as usual and rode his bike back home.

"Section Chief Li is back."

When the neighbors saw him, they greeted him warmly.

Li Chang is not good at speaking, but he usually nods to indicate his intention. Others do not think he is arrogant. After getting along for a long time, everyone knows each other's personalities.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Qin Huairu wearing new clothes.

"Uncle Li!"

Qin Huairu said proactively.

Li Changyi nodded in response.

He looked at Qin Huairu, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, but with a plump figure and a hint of charm between her eyebrows and eyes. She was a real beauty.

It is a great blessing for the Jia family to marry such a daughter-in-law.

Li Changyi sometimes heard people say that Qin Huairu had a coquettish appearance and did not look like a lucky charm for her husband. If Jia Dongxu married her, he would definitely die young.

However, he never commented.

Just live your own life and why meddle in other people's affairs?

"Uncle Li, did you buy some cooked food again?"

Qin Huairu glanced at the oil bubble on the handlebar and couldn't help swallowing.

After marrying into the Jia family, she discovered that life was not as good as she had imagined.

The person who really runs the family is Jia Zhang, and her husband has no say at all.

If she wants to eat meat, she has to look at her mother-in-law's mood.

However, Qin Huairu never told these to her family.

Li Changyi nodded without saying anything.

"Uncle Li, with such delicious food, why don't you drink a few cups?"

Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"I don't like drinking."

Li Changyi shook his head.

Qin Huairu tugged at the corner of her clothes, as if she wanted to say something.

However, Li Changyi did not notice it and left on his own.

After returning home, he saw his wife Cui Xiulan sitting on the bench with a sullen face.

"What's wrong?"

Li Changyi asked in confusion.

"It's still the new daughter-in-law of the Jia family!"

Cui Xiulan rolled her eyes and said, "I bought a new set of clothes, but this is just showing off!"

Li Changyi finally realized that it was no wonder that Qin Huairu took the initiative to greet him. It turned out that she wanted him to praise her.

"She's a new bride, so it's normal for her to be happy after buying new clothes."

Li Changyi comforted Cui Xiulan, "If you like, I will buy you a body too."

"I'm already so old, why do I wear such flashy clothes?"

Cui Xiulan glared at him.

Li Changyi was confused, "Then why are you angry?"

"I think that if Qiao'er dresses up, she will definitely be more handsome than Qin Huairu."

Cui Xiulan said regretfully.

Although the marriage failed, Cui Xiulan was attracted by this simple and honest girl.

Every time she returned to the village, she would bring something for Qin Qiaoer.

At first, Qin Qiaoer refused to accept it.

It was not until Cui Xiulan pretended to be angry that she accepted it.

However, Qin Qiaoer also often packed some eggs, mushrooms and other things for Cui Xiulan as a return gift.

As time went by, the two became closer and closer.

"Old Li, do you think Qiao'er might have a crush on our Xiangyang?"

Cui Xiulan said.

"Don't talk nonsense. If outsiders hear it, how can Qin Qiaoer get married?"

Li Changyi frowned.

"How did I say that? Then tell me, why did Qiaoer reject several marriage proposals?"

Cui Xiulan questioned.

Li Changyi was speechless. How could he, a grown man, understand a little girl's thoughts?

"Anyway, don't say such things casually!"

Li Changyi said seriously: "Our Xiangyang has gone to the battlefield, and his life or death depends on God's will. Qin Qiaoer is a good girl, and we can't let her delay him."

Upon hearing this, Cui Xiulan's eyes turned red.

Five months have passed since Li Xiangyang joined the army.

There has been no news these days.

As a mother, she often worried and couldn't sleep for nights.

"This bastard didn't even bother to write a letter home!"

Cui Xiulan cursed through gritted teeth.

"This is a war, not a play date. How can it be so simple?"

After all, Li Changyi had participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and understood the difficulties involved.

"What is this?"

Suddenly, he found a pair of insoles on the table. The stitches were densely packed together, and it was obvious that they were made with great care.

"Qiao'er knitted it for us. She said the weather is getting cold and we are old, so we need to keep warm."

Cui Xiulan said.

Li Changyi nodded sullenly and was about to put the insole away when Cui Xiulan snatched it away.

"You don't like Qiao'er, so don't take this insole!"

Cui Xiulan said angrily.

"I"

Li Changyi was confused. When did he say this?

"You can have insoles if you want them, but you have to promise me something!"

Cui Xiulan rolled her eyes and said.

"What's the matter?"

"Qiao'er's brother is seven years old this year and it's time for him to go to primary school. Find someone to get him into the same primary school as Yushui."

Cui Xiulan thought for a moment and said, "After the Chinese New Year, Yu Shui will be six years old and it's time for him to go to elementary school."

"Where will the child live?"

After all, Li Changyi had a longer-term vision and asked immediately.

"Live in our house!"

Cui Xiulan said without thinking.

"Nonsense!"

Li Changyi was a little angry this time, "It's their child, what's the point of putting him here?"

"Li Changyi, just tell me the truth, are you going to intervene or not?"

Cui Xiulan also lost her temper. She shouted, "No matter what, just forget about the insoles!"

"you"

Li Changyi had no choice but to say, "You should at least ask her parents to see if they agree."

"Do you even need to say this?"

Cui Xiulan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll tell Qiao'er's parents when I get back this time."

Li Changyi shook his head and said no more.

"Humph, you are a bit human!"

Cui Xiulan was satisfied then. She threw the insole to Li Changyi and went to cook while humming a little tune.

The next day, Li Changyi went to work.

As soon as he went out, he met Xu Damao who was going to school.

"Uncle Li!"

Xu Damao said loudly.

Li Changyi nodded. He knew that Xu Damao, He Yuzhu and his son were three brothers and had a very close relationship.

Ever since Li Xiangyang and He Yuzhu joined the army, Xu Damao changed his attitude and started to study seriously.

Even Xu Damao's father was extremely surprised.

When did my kid become so motivated?

Only Xu Damao himself knew that he didn't want to be left behind by Li Xiangyang and He Yuzhu.

Otherwise, when we meet again, won't I be looked down upon?

the other side.

Cui Xiulan returned to the village under the pretext of visiting her relatives.

She went to Qin Qiao's house and told her about it.

Qin Qiaoer's parents naturally wanted their son to study in the city, so they agreed immediately.

"Auntie, thank you so much!"

Qin Qiaoer said excitedly.

Cui Xiulan touched Qin Qiaoer's beautiful hair and liked her more and more.

How great it would be if such a good girl could enter my home?

Soon, the news spread from the village.

Everyone knows that Qin Qiaoer's youngest son is going to study in the city.

When Qin Huairu's parents learned about this, they immediately wrote a letter to Qin Huairu.

In the letter, they asked Qin Huairu if she could ask Jia Dongxu to get Qin Jingru into a school in the city.

After receiving the letter, Qin Huairu was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.

Why is that silly girl Qin Qiaoer so lucky?

The more I look at my new clothes, the more uncomfortable I feel.

Qin Huairu's good mood also disappeared.
