Lu Wentao laughed out loud. He had wanted to have a grandson for a long time, but his daughter was too far away, so he couldn't fulfill his wish!

Seeing that his father was happy, Lu Yuhe mentioned his plan.

"Dad, I've saved up a few months' salary and plan to buy an uglier bicycle so it will be more convenient for us to carry goods to the countryside."

Lu Wentao immediately gave him 100 yuan and said, "This is a subsidy for you. You should buy a better brand of bicycle. It should be heavy-duty and practical."

Yu Meijuan looked at her son and said, "We agreed that when you get married, we won't buy you a bicycle."

Lu Yuhe was surprised when he took the money, as he originally wanted to pay for it out of his own pocket.

"Dad, Mom, it's good enough to buy a big item like a bicycle. Your son is not greedy! Besides, Wenjing always listens to me."

On Sunday, he took Wenjing to the hardware store.

There are televisions, electric fans, sewing machines, bicycles and everything else here.

Even as the son of a section chief, he looks like a country bumpkin here.

Liu Wenjing held her boyfriend's hand, feeling a little nervous.

Normally, she didn't dare to go into this hardware store because the things inside were too expensive for her.

She just needs to live her life peacefully.

Today is her day off, and she was supposed to be helping with perming hair at home.

Daha said that Section Chief Lu had paid for them to buy bicycles, so their father and mother hurriedly urged them to come out.

Buying a bicycle is a big deal for a family, it costs half a year's salary for a regular worker.

These are all clearly priced, but you can't afford them just because you have money. You also need industrial coupons.

I thought about how when I was learning to ride a bike, I used my brother-in-law’s bicycle, and he also chose a Changzheng 42-type load-bearing bicycle.

This car can carry people on the front bar and in the back seats at the same time.

The quality is excellent.

The salesperson inside is so arrogant, you asked about the price?

"Look for yourself! Can't you read?"

Want to give it a try?

People just glance at you and ignore you.

It was not until Lu Yuhe took out money and industrial coupons that they were able to launch a bicycle and reinforce the screws in several key parts.

Then issue the invoice.

Lu Yuhe pushed the brand new car and felt that although the car was big, the wheels turned very lightly.

Liu Wenjing didn't dare to sit in the car even though it was being pushed happily on the road, mainly because she was reluctant to sit in this new car.

Finally, Lu Yuhe straddled the seat with his long legs, flicked his hair in front of his forehead, and said, "Hurry up and get on."

Liu Wenjing hugged her boyfriend's waist and sat happily in the back seat.

The two men rode the bike slowly to Liu's house, parked it at the door, locked it, and went in to help.

Liu Wenjing's sister Liu Yulian and brother Liu Wenhong ran out curiously to see the new car bought by their brother-in-law.

Liu Wenjing happily helped.

Dahe stood by and handed them over one by one with a plastic curling iron.

"Uncle, aunt, my parents said that they will come to propose marriage after the New Year. Do you have any conditions? You can propose it earlier so that our family can prepare early."

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu smiled at each other, and Aunt Liu said, "We don't have any conditions! As long as you live well, that's all that matters."

The two have been dating for such a long time, and if they drag it on, it will not be good for the woman's reputation.

Moreover, their family married into a wealthy family, and Chief Lu's family members were relatively well-informed and had never been scornful of the poor or favored the rich.

The Liu family was very lucky to have gotten this marriage.

If their family is greedy and makes it difficult for their daughter Wenjing to live a good life, there will be many people waiting to marry into their family.

New Year’s Day has passed.

Aunt Zhou always keeps a pot of porridge warm on the stove.

When the daughter-in-law fell asleep, the two little ones woke up. She carefully blew some porridge oil and soup on the surface of the porridge, without leaving even a grain of rice, and fed it to the children one spoonful at a time.

Let my daughter-in-law rest for a while longer, and let the children eat some food other than breast milk.

If she didn't breastfeed two children for a long time, Yuzhu would definitely not be able to handle it.

The second son, Zhou Jianping, wanted to say something but stopped himself. Thinking that his mother had given birth to three brothers and must have experience in raising children, he stopped talking.

Only when Yuzhu is awake will she persuade her mother-in-law.

"Mom, they're nagging you again! The baby wants milk, you're calling me! You're feeding him spoonful by spoonful, and you have to control the temperature. It's so tiring!"

Aunt Zhou was very busy. "It's okay. I'll only be busy during the day. At night, you will naturally feed the baby. We will cooperate with each other. After 6 months, it will be much easier."

Zhou Jianguo just came back and drank a glass of water when he started to announce the good news.

"Yuzhu, Dad called again and said they'll come early before the New Year so our parents can go home and celebrate the New Year. They'll go back to work after the New Year."

Aunt Zhou was really moved. "Oh, my master really said that! It's so cold, and we feel bad about going back and forth."

Yuzhu held her little son in her arms and coaxed him gently.

"Mom, you've been working hard lately. It's a good time for you to take over. You haven't been home for such a long time. Your two sisters-in-law have to run their business and take care of their nephews and nieces. You should go back and see them so that you can feel at ease."

Aunt Zhou quickly responded, "Then I'll do as you say! We'll go back during the Chinese New Year."

Liu Dazhu said in the outer room, "Let your two brothers go back for the next two days so they can get busy preparing for the New Year.

We are old and can only stay for a few days. We don’t have the energy to be busy with them. We need to rush back early after the New Year so as not to delay my in-laws’ work.”

Lu Yuzhu quickly called her husband, "Brother Jianguo, take all the sunflower seeds we harvested last time back to your two brothers. Don't buy any more for the New Year."

Aunt Zhou was delighted when she thought of all the sunflower seeds. "Yuzhu, you can plant two crops a year here. The sunflower seeds are big and the harvest is good.

We can’t take it all, so we’ll leave half for your parents.”

Lu Yuzhu, "Then leave 5 kilograms for them, which is enough for them to eat as much as they want, and let the two brothers take the rest back.

The leftovers are sold directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives. The large ones are so popular, and the price they fetch is higher than other varieties!"

Zhou Jianguo, "Just listen to Yuzhu. If she hadn't given birth and was in confinement after childbirth, she would have been sold to the town with Jiang's wife."

Zhou Dazhu chuckled, "Just listen to my wife!"

He also didn't expect that his son would marry an educated youth who was both talented in literature and martial arts.

Even the sunflower seeds grown in the military compound are better than those grown by his two wives who work in the fields!

He is also good at raising pigs. The pigs he raises are better than the ones my wife raises at home. They are fatter and stronger.

When the two brothers left, Lu Yuzhu said that there was this in the wooden box, that under the bed, and even things in the chest of drawers.

Adding up all the different things, there are quite a few.

The two brothers were secretly amazed. This brother's wife didn't have any land to farm, but what she produced was no worse than what his two sisters-in-law had produced.

She sold the pigs in the pigpen they were watching for nearly 1000 yuan.

This made them, who were used to doing farm work, jealous.

The old sow gave birth to a group of piglets, and Mrs. Jiang next door immediately sold her two pigs.

All the piglets in this circle were transferred to his pigpen.

Because there is another old sow that is pregnant again and is expected to give birth in the next few days.

Some military wives had already made reservations here, so they specially asked Zhou's second brother to help them build a new pigpen against the back wall.

Lin Hui, the capitalist lady, also raised two piglets this time.

But Mrs. Jiang was worried, so she fed all the piglets first, and would decide where to send them after the eldest sister finished her confinement.

By then, I will sell piglets and breed pigs, and I will make a lot of money.

Her actions set off a wave of money-making craze among military wives in the military compound.

Everyone was unwilling to accept this and relied on the allowances from the men.

They want to be the masters of their own lives and have the final say over their own money.

Lin Hui followed Lu Yuzhu and the others and planted a few sunflowers. The harvest made them jealous.

In the past, if a military wife bought sunflower seeds and cracked them during festivals, she would always be criticized for being greedy.

Now when Mrs. Jiang perms people's hair, even she, who is so stingy, is willing to give her guests a handful of sunflower seeds.

In addition to eating them themselves, they also earn a source of income from selling sunflower seeds.

The two brothers carried their luggage and snakeskin bags and took Comrade Xiao Chen's jeep to the station.

Half a month later, Lu Yuzhu announced that she was done with her confinement.

It has been more than a month and a half, and her mother-in-law is still taking care of her wholeheartedly. If she doesn't leave the confinement period, she will gain a lot of weight!
