Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

Ouyang Mingnuo's words made Ruan Yu feel that something was wrong.

She has been getting along with Ouyang Mingnuo for a long time, and she knows very well that her mother-in-law is a person who attaches great importance to the quality of life.

Even in a relatively simple place like Kaoshantun, she would still try her best to run it successfully.

For example, there are canned wild flowers on the windowsill at any time, and door curtains made of wild fruits dried in the mountains...

and many more.

When they left Kaoshantun, their yard had been made lively and interesting by Ouyang Mingnuo.

If it were placed in the modern times when she used to live, it would definitely be a celebrity check-in spot that would attract a large amount of traffic.

But Ouyang Mingnuo also has a strong sense of boundaries.

Although she had high demands on everything in her life, she never forced others to live the same way as her.

She was not the kind of mother-in-law who had a strong desire to control others, and she had never interfered with her daughter-in-law's dressing habits without authorization.

Only occasionally when she asks will she give some advice, but whether to adopt it or not is entirely up to her.

So all in all, this was the first time that Ouyang Mingnuo had seriously made requirements on her dressing.

"Is the guest coming this time important?"

However, Ruan Yu did not ask Ouyang Mingnuo about her doubts directly. Instead, she asked this question when she went upstairs to be with Xie Beining.

"You mean the Kong family!

Actually, Uncle Kong is a nice person, and his former wife, Aunt Qi, is also a good person. But his current wife, Aunt Song, doesn’t get along well with our mother. ”

Xie Beining was playing with Damao, and when she heard Ruan Yu coming over and asking quietly, she blinked. Perhaps it was the unique yearning for gossip among women that made her stand up and walk to the door to look. Seeing that Ouyang Mingnuo was still knitting downstairs and had no intention of moving upstairs, she tiptoed back, closed the door, walked briskly over to sit next to Ruan Yu, and introduced him to her in a low voice.

"Ah, is it that complicated?"

Ruan Yu was stunned and confused.

This relationship doesn't seem to be very simple.

Seeing Ruan Yu confused, Xie Beining thought about it and felt that there was nothing that could not be confessed. She simply did not bother to hide it and lowered her voice to share this past of her parents with her.

“Oh, actually it’s okay to tell you.

Anyway, you have to see it tonight, and it wouldn’t be good to hide it from you!

This must be Uncle Kong, our father’s fellow villager.

They joined the army together when the army passed through their hometown. Later, in the army, because everyone was from the same hometown and knew each other well, they would naturally take care of each other more.

After a long time, it becomes a friendship of life and death.

Aunt Qi, the wife of Uncle Kong at that time, was also a good person. She was not a progressive student who went to the border area from a big city like my mother, but just an ordinary cadre of the local Women's Rescue Association and a genuine farmer's daughter.

Because my father had a good relationship with Uncle Kong, there was a period of time when my mother was pregnant with my third and fourth brothers, and she took my eldest brother and me to live in Aunt Qi's village.

We stayed there for more than three years.

At that time, our mother was still young and moved to the city. She didn’t know many things, so it was Aunt Qi who protected her and helped take care of us as we grew up.

It was not until later that the enemy launched a intensive siege on us, so we had to follow our father's troops to move to other places.

So from then on, we separated from Aunt Qi.

About two years later, Uncle Kong brought the bad news that Aunt Qi had been arrested and sacrificed.

Having said this, Xie Beining paused slightly, her tone filled with deep sorrow.

Even after so many years, she still felt a pang of pain when she thought of the aunt who had taken care of her and taken her to pick jujubes.

"Aunt Qi was pregnant at the time and the enemy captured her...

Anyway, you know, my mother is a sentimental person.

Especially after she knew that Aunt Qi’s arrest was largely related to Aunt Song, the wife of Uncle Kong, she was even more furious. ”

Taking a deep breath, Xie Beining still remembered the past events clearly. She hesitated for a moment but did not hide her opinion: "In fact, my father later learned about this matter and found that Uncle Kong and Aunt Song could not be blamed.

Aunt Song was a telegraph operator at the division headquarters at that time, and Uncle Kong was ordered by the division headquarters to escort Aunt Song and two other telegraph operators back to the headquarters for a meeting.

They encountered the enemy on the way. At that time, the village where Uncle Kong and Aunt Song lived was still some distance away. He was on a mission at the time, so naturally he followed the principle of obeying orders and completing the task.

Uncle Kong was sad for a long time because of this incident. Even now, every time he talks to our dad on the phone, he would cry when he mentions Aunt Qi.

My mother didn’t blame Uncle Kong for not saving Aunt Qi, but she couldn’t accept that he would end up with Aunt Song.”

“I can’t understand this either.”

Ruan Yu was silent for a moment before she spoke softly, not hiding her thoughts at all.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with our mom not liking Aunt Song.

For some things, everyone may look at the problem from a different perspective.

Just like the current situation.

From the perspective of Uncle Kong and Aunt Song, and even many people around them, they all felt that Uncle Kong lost his wife in order to save Aunt Song.

Then Aunt Song would be grateful to Uncle Kong and develop feelings for him, and it would be a good thing that the two of them finally got together.

But if we look at it from our perspective and Aunt Qi's, it's really a bit disgusting."

“Yeah, we think so too.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Uncle Kong marrying another woman. After all, Uncle Kong and Aunt Qi's two children were still young and needed someone to take care of them.

But why must he marry Aunt Song? ! "

Xie Beining nodded. Perhaps it was because Ruan Yu's opinion was the same as hers, as if she had found a sister in the same camp. The tone of her voice became more relaxed than before.

And the content of the words gradually became more open, reaching the point where he was completely defenseless.

"Actually, Uncle Kong is a pretty good person. He has been in contact with our father for many years, and even later on, the eldest sister and the second brother of the Kong family lived in our house for a period of time.

Perhaps because of Uncle Kong’s choice, his eldest sister and second brother have never been very close to him.

It was said that their relationship with Aunt Song and her daughter was not good at home, so for a long time they took turns living in the homes of several other comrades of Uncle Kong.

Of course, he lived in our house the longest.

Actually, as time went by, my mother's attitude towards the Kong family actually softened. Later, Uncle Kong even brought Aunt Song and the others to our house for dinner a few times. "

"Then how did things get so bad again?"

After hearing what Xie Beining said, Ruan Yu tilted her head slightly, seeming to be more and more confused!

"Hey, this matter has to do with your Xiaoliu! To be frank, it's all his fault!"

Perhaps because this topic was not so serious, Xie Beining spoke in a lighter tone. Especially when she saw Ruan Yu still staring at her blankly, as if she did not understand the situation, she found it even more funny.

"You know, Xiaoliu has always been reluctant to get married.

Our dad is fine, but our mom is really worried about this matter.

At that time, in order to find a suitable partner for Xiaoliu, my mother first turned her attention to the families of my father's comrades-in-arms who knew him well.

It just so happened that Uncle Kong’s youngest daughter, the only child Aunt Song gave birth to after she married Uncle Kong, was exactly the same age as Xiaoliu.

Uncle Kong thought that our two families were close, and it would be even better if we could become closer relatives!

So, he took the initiative to call our father and told him about his youngest daughter, Kong Yanzhen.

My dad never asked much about these things, but my mom was desperate and wanted to try every possible means.

I thought that no matter what, Uncle Kong was a reliable person, so his daughter wouldn't be in such a bad situation.

So, we started preparing it in full swing.

At that time, Kong Yanzhen was working as a nurse in the military hospital near Uncle Kong’s base, so my mother hurriedly arranged for someone to pick her up.

I originally wanted to create conditions to bring her together with Xiaoliu.

As a result, he came to live in our house for more than half a month, and he didn't say a word to Xiaoliu, but he started dating the second son of Commander Wu who lived next door and was dismissed from his post and imprisoned three years ago for committing a crime."

"..."

Ruan Yu was speechless as she looked at Xie Beining, who was already covering his mouth and laughing uncontrollably when he said this.

I have to say, this operation of Aunt Song and her daughter is really extravagant!

"You don't know, when our mother heard the news, she was stunned.

But Commander Wu’s wife had come to our house at that time, and even if we were furious, we couldn’t bring ourselves to do it!

I can only hold my nose and smooth over this matter.

Later, my mother found out after asking around, because Xiaoliu was on vacation at home at the time and did not take the initiative to tell the mother and daughter about his current position.

So, the mother and daughter speculated at home and thought that the reason why our mother was so anxious to find a partner for Xiaoliu was simply because Xiaoliu was the most spoiled and useless youngest child in our family.

Therefore, for the sake of his daughter's future, he could never let her marry a useless and idle man like Xiaoliu.

However, because we live in a large compound, the capable young people here are definitely much better than those at Uncle Kong’s residence.

So it's a good opportunity for our mom to pick her up to let Kong Yanzhen find a better partner.

It's like using our mother as a springboard."

Xie Beining couldn't help laughing again when he said this: "You don't know, my mother was furious at that time.

You know her temper. If Aunt Song had explained the situation to her directly at that time, do you think our mother would not help?

But Aunt Song is just such a mean person and uses such a cheap and petty method to make trouble.

My mother was so angry that she scolded everyone she met at home those days.

My dad was scolded so much that he went to stay with Uncle Gu temporarily. As for Xiaoliu, he was scolded even more severely.

Our mother thought Xiaoliu was a piece of wood. Anyway, it was for this reason that Xiaoliu could not stand it and packed up his things and asked for a transfer to the Northeast. "

After Xie Beining finished speaking, he glanced at Ruan Yu who was listening to this story with great interest, raised his hand helplessly and poked her forehead: "You are still laughing, you don't know how miserable Xiaoliu was at the beginning.

When I go out to eat at home, my mother will catch me and scold me even if I decide whether to step forward with my left foot or my right foot first.

But it’s okay, it was this change that brought you together.

So my mother just told me this morning that for the sake of you and the three little babies, she would not bother with the mother and daughter. "

"Actually, another reason why our mother is so generous is because Kong Yanzhen, who married into the Wu family, is not living a good life, right?"

Ruan Yu and Xie Beining giggled together for a while, then she lowered her voice and leaned close to Xie Beining's ear to ask a question.

"Naughty!"

Xie Beining chuckled and glanced at Ruan Yu: "Do you think we are the kind of people who would kick someone when he is down and gloat over his misfortune?"

"Well, that's just me gloating over other people's misfortunes, that's all!"

Ruan Yu avoided Xie Beining's hand that was trying to tickle her and quickly raised her hands in surrender: "Sister, good second sister, I was wrong, and it's not okay to be wrong!

Please tell me quickly, am I right in my guess?"

"Yes, nothing can be hidden from you, little clever ghost!

Ever since this incident, the relationship between our family and the Kong family has become cold.

Although it's said that things have cooled down, in fact, it's only with Uncle Kong and Aunt Song. The relationship with my eldest sister and second brother is still pretty good.

My eldest sister and second brother now have their own families, and they are living a comfortable and happy life at work.

But Kong Yanzhen, the daughter of Aunt Song, insisted on marrying into the Wu family. Her father opposed this, but he could not resist the mother and daughter who were determined to marry into a wealthy family.

Later, something happened to the Wu family. Although Uncle Kong had not had anything to do with it in these years, he had to accept the investigation because of his children's in-laws.

According to the schedule, Uncle Kong would have been able to return to Beijing long ago. But because of this incident, he was delayed until now.

Our mother is still angry!

Thinking about the humiliation they inflicted on Xiaoliu in the past, Xiaoliu now has you, three children, and the opportunity to further her studies. In short, she is doing very well in every way.

Naturally, my mother wanted to take advantage of this meeting to give the fallen dog a beating and to avenge the deception and humiliation she suffered that year."

As Xie Beining spoke, he really began to look at Ruan Yu's outfit carefully: "I think our mother thinks too highly of her.

With your natural beauty, you can make the other person look good even if you wear a sack when you go out!"

"I asked you to find a way to help A-Yu choose clothes, but you just wanted to fool me with a sack?"

Before Xie Beining finished speaking, the half-closed door was pushed open, and Ouyang Mingnuo stared at Xie Beining, who was joking happily in the room, with an unfriendly look. Just one look made Xie Beining and Ruan Yu inside tremble with fear.
