After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

The word "Mom" undoubtedly revealed his identity to everyone: he was Guo Yumei's son-in-law and Xia Qingning's husband.

Guo Yumei was stunned for a second, and tears welled up in her eyes. She agreed repeatedly:

"Yeah, yeah." Then he turned his back, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and when he turned around, he had already put on a smile and said to Lu Jingzhe:

"Get in the house, get in the house."

Her husband died while trying to save Xia Lu Lidong. Lu Baichuan arranged a marriage between his daughter and Lu Lidong before returning to the city. She did not feel that she was marrying above her station or taking advantage of the other party. On the contrary, if her husband could be alive, she would rather not have this marriage.

But later, her daughter climbed into Lu Jingzhe's bed. Although she was just a rural woman with little knowledge, she also understood that the favor owed by Lu Lidong should not be repaid by Lu Jingzhe.

Not only did Lu Jingzhe marry her daughter, but he also acknowledged her as his mother in front of so many people. How could she not be surprised and moved!

Xia Qingning, who was standing at the door, was really surprised to hear the word "Mom". Although it was only a short word, it showed Lu Jingzhe's attitude towards the Xia family. He not only acknowledged their identities, but also gave them enough face.

The people standing around all looked surprised, suspicious, puzzled, and of course, laughed at the joke...

Lu Jingzhe and Guo Yumei were about to enter the house when a loud male voice suddenly came from outside the yard:

"Jingzhe."

Xia Qingning looked up and saw a man in dark blue clothes standing at the entrance of the fence, looking eagerly into the yard with a look of joy on his face.

Although the man's clothes had large patches on them and he looked gray, one could see that his facial features were still handsome. This was the original body's brother, Xia Qingshu.

When Lu Jingzhe saw his childhood playmate, a rare look of joy appeared on his face. He was about to move forward, but the next second he saw him limping towards him.

Lu Jingzhe didn't know that Xia Qingshu's leg was broken. When he left the village and returned to the city, Xia Qingshu came to see him off. His leg was still intact at that time.

Confusion, surprise, sadness... a variety of emotions alternated on his face, but in just a blink of an eye, his expression returned to normal. He walked towards Xia Qingshu, asked nothing, and just patted him on the shoulder heavily.

The affection between men does not require too many words; a pat on the shoulder is enough to express everything.

Soon, several people entered the house. Xia Qingshu also saw Xia Qingning at this time. He was stunned for a moment, as if he could not recognize her. Then he suddenly smiled and called her as before:

"Xiao Ning."

"Brother." Xia Qingning called softly.

In the present world, she is an only child and has no brothers or sisters. But here, she suddenly has an older brother and a younger brother, which makes her a little uncomfortable.

"Don't stand, sit down quickly. You've come such a long way, you must be hungry, eat something quickly." Guo Yumei greeted Xia Qingning and Lu Jingzhe, and then placed two sugar-water eggs in front of them.

Xia Qingning lowered her head and saw two eggs in her own bowl and Lu Jingzhe's bowl respectively. Then she looked at the clothes on Guo Yumei and Xia Qingshu, and the dilapidated home with no decent furniture, and she realized that the two bowls of sugar-water eggs were too heavy.

Seeing that neither of them had picked up their chopsticks, Guo Yumei seemed to realize something and hurriedly explained:

"Don't worry about us, we have already eaten, eat quickly, eat quickly."

They just came out of the kitchen together, how could she have eaten? Xia Qingning went to the kitchen, took out a bowl, and separated her eggs. Guo Yumei hurried over to stop her, but Xia Qingning did not expose her, but just said:

"You have eaten, but you haven't eaten the grass yet. Leave this for him."

Guo Yumei was about to speak when Lu Jingzhe, who was standing next to her, had already put the two eggs in his bowl into Xia Qingning's bowl. Then he picked up the bowl, drank the sugar water in it, and said to Xia Qingshu, who was standing next to him:

"Can I borrow a car now?"

Xia Qingshu didn't understand what he wanted the car for, but he nodded and said:

"Yes, I can borrow it. Uncle Li's ox cart next door is empty. Do you want it now?"

"Well, please help borrow it." Lu Jingzhe said.

Xia Qingshu nodded and said okay, then went out.

Xia Qingning looked at the eggs in the bowl, ate only one, scooped out the others, and said to Guo Yumei:

"We had dinner in town when we came back just now, and now I really can't eat anymore. Mom, please help me eat."

After hearing what she said, Guo Yumei didn't want to force her anymore, so she took a plate and tried to cover it up:

"Then save it for you to eat in the evening."

"The next meal won't taste good, so eat quickly."

The mother and daughter pushed and shoved for a while, but in the end Guo Yumei couldn't persuade her daughter and ate one, and kept the other two.

After a while, Xia Qingshu borrowed the ox cart and went out with Lu Jingzhe.

At this time, Aunt Jinhua, who had just helped to call people, shouted outside the door:

"Aunt Yumei, I went to call her, but she's in the field cutting rabbit grass, and she won't come back no matter how I called her."

Guo Yumei hurried out, looked at Aunt Jinhua who was out of breath, and asked doubtfully:

"You didn't tell him that his sister was back?"

"I told him and told him that his sister bought him a lot of candies, but he still refused to come back," said Aunt Jinhua.

"This child." Guo Yumei said in a low voice, then looked at Aunt Jinhua: "Excuse me, I'll go and call her."

After saying that, he greeted Xia Qingning and walked out quickly.

Not long after Guo Yumei left, several women in their forties came towards the Xia family. The woman in front was obviously better dressed than the people around her. She walked with a breeze under her feet and said:

"I heard that Guo Yumei is back and she's become a different person. I want to go see what she looks like now."

This woman's name is Niu Xianhua. She grew up in the same courtyard as Guo Yumei and always liked to compare herself with Guo Yumei. When she was a girl, she compared their looks with Guo Yumei. Later, after they got married, she compared their looks with men. Later, she compared their children with Guo Yumei.

But there was nothing that could compare to her. Later, Guo Yumei's husband died in an accident, and her eldest son became lame. Niu Xianhua suddenly felt superior and was so smug in front of Guo Yumei. She had made fun of her many times over the years, both openly and secretly.

"I just took a look from a distance and she has indeed changed. She dresses well and is prettier. Otherwise, all the girls in the village would want to marry in the city," said an old lady nearby.

"What's so good about marrying into the city? If you ask me, girls should marry into a more practical family. Look at our Zhaodi and Laidi. They married close to home and can help out a lot. They helped build the house, gave money to their brother's wedding, and are always available. Isn't this much better than Guo Yumei's family, who only comes back once every few years?"

As they were talking, they arrived outside the Xia family's yard. They stretched their necks and looked into the yard. They saw Xia Qingning, who was wearing a light blue shirt, talking to Aunt Jinhua. The girl in the yard was pretty and generous, with a face as white as a peeled egg, and every part of her exposed skin was delicate and fair.

"This girl from the Xia family has really changed. No wonder she wants to marry into the city. Look how pretty she is."

"Yes, I heard that they gave candies to outsiders in handfuls. They were very generous."

"I think Yumei will have endless happiness in the future. She might even be taken to the city."

Hearing everyone praising Guo Yumei, who had always lived a life worse than hers, Niu Xianhua felt unbalanced and pouted her lips and replied:

"You're still enjoying a good life and taking her to the city. What a pipe dream! I heard she came back with only a small bag and nothing else. So what if she married in the city? I think the potatoes and sweet potatoes my daughter gave her are more substantial."

As she was speaking, a man in his sixties suddenly came up behind her, stood outside the yard and shouted inside:

"Aunt Yumei, come out quickly. Your son-in-law bought you a large cart of food and daily necessities. He bought dozens of kilograms of flour alone. The cart can't get in. Come out quickly and move it."
