Chapter 59 Characteristics of the Era 8

"If you can't go, then don't go. I'll steam the steamed cakes for you guys to try later. I tell you, if the cornmeal can be ground finer, it will taste better when steamed."

Lan Hanlu saw Yunling helping pass things around, so she started chatting with him, "Yunling, what grade are you in now?"

"Yuntao and I have been in school for five years. Our mother doesn't like us, so we both went to kindergarten early."

Lan Hanlu noticed that he was very calm when he mentioned his mother. She knew the reason but didn't ask him about it for fear of making the child too sad.

This story starts with Yunling and his friends' mother. The woman's name is Teng Jiaoniang, whom Yun Ling met when he was serving in the army among ethnic minorities.

This woman was extremely possessive, as we use today's words. She actually fell in love with Yun at first sight. After all, this man was indeed very attractive in appearance.

He pursued her in all directions, which was a big deal. He even designed a drowning scene and then brought his family to the army.

In order to force Yun Juran to marry her, Yun Juran, as the bully of the compound, was able to compromise and directly asked his good friends to put all of Tengjia's men in sacks.

The people in the Teng family were completely frightened and quickly persuaded their daughter to give up her previous idea. However, who knew that Teng Jiaoniang was a sick person and went straight to find the army with a rope and scissors.

The rope was tied to the army gate and he was about to hang himself. When the leaders tried to dissuade him, he put a pair of scissors to his chest. The incident became a big deal and the leaders came to inspect.

It just so happened that this leader had a bad relationship with the Yun family. In the end, Yun was afraid of affecting his brother and parents, so he still married this woman.

This woman drugged him on the wedding night and made him pregnant with Yunling and Yuntao. It's funny to say that Miaomiao was forcibly taken away by that woman while Yunjuan was injured and recuperating.

She thought that since she had two children, Yun at least had some affection for her, but who knew that Yun actually wanted to vomit the moment he saw her.

This woman was also vicious. Yun actually ignored her and stayed in the army for several months without coming back. She was mentally twisted and abused the two children, saying that they were disobedient and could not win back their father's heart.

Or Yun occasionally came back to see the child and found something was wrong, so she took the child back to be raised by her parents. Without the child's bond, this woman became even crazier.

Yun actually participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. After he left, this woman pretended for a while, which made the old couple and children of the Yun family change their views of her.

When Yun Ju Ran came back from the battlefield to recuperate, everyone tried to persuade him, but he didn't believe that woman would change. Although he wouldn't say anything bad to her, he still ignored them.

This woman simply sent everyone else away under the pretext of taking care of her, drugged him, and raped him.

I don't know if it's Yun Juran's strength or this woman's belly that's holding up, but she's pregnant again. However, she gave birth prematurely because she wanted to take advantage of her big belly and go find Yun Juran to get him back.

An accident happened on the way. The child was barely born, but her body was weakened and she died after several months of nursing.

Yun was so troubled by this woman that he almost lost interest in women. In his words, even the sight of a woman near him made him feel disgusted. In order to avoid being discharged from the army, he always endured any contact with women.

The old couple of the Yun family were anxious and wanted their son to find someone who would understand and accompany him, but since their son had gotten into such a mess because of his previous wife, they felt it was all their responsibility and did not dare to force him.

So when they heard that their son had fallen in love with Lan Hanlu, they quickly arranged the wedding. The old couple didn't have much money, but they had a lot of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and books.

However, the two of them had already given most of it to Yun Juran in private, and had hidden the rest. After so many years of struggling, they were still somewhat sensitive to politics.

These are all things Lan Hanlu knew in her previous life.

After the steamed cakes were finished, they were cut into small pieces. Yunling also took some kraft paper and, after the cakes were measured, the two of them wrapped them up accordingly.

"Leave these, each of you take a piece to eat first, and save the rest for dinner." Lan Hanlu took the opportunity to give a piece to each of the children.

Yuntao took the piece for himself and his sister and took a bite, then broke off his sister's piece and gave it to her to eat.

"You two should eat too. Don't mind wasting time. We'll go after you finish eating." Lan Hanlu felt that she couldn't ignore it just because she was sensible.

They hadn't eaten enough that morning, so now they were each holding a piece of steamed cake. There was no porridge or vegetables, but the food tasted incredibly delicious. After finishing their meal, Lan Hanlu carried a basket filled with steamed cakes.

Then Yunling and Lan Hanlu went to visit the neighbors. The first house they went to was the home of Aunt Erpang, whom Yunling mentioned. Although Aunt Erpang looked a bit stout, she was not fat at all and was a carefree person.

"Oh my god, this is Lan, sister Lan! Hahaha. Come in quickly. My husband's name is Zhao Zhigang, you can call me Sister Zhao or Sister Erpang." She must have forgotten Lan Hanlu's full name.

"Sister Zhao, my name is Lan Hanlu. You can call me Hanlu or Lulu. Yun and I just got married, and I wanted to come visit.

"But I won't go in and sit down. I still have a few more houses to visit, and Miaomiao is still waiting at home." The two of them were not very familiar with each other, and they had a lot of houses to visit, so they didn't go in.

Mrs. Zhao also knew about this and stopped trying to get in. "Okay, I know you're busy, so I won't let you in today. Come over and play when you have time.

Let me tell you, my sister-in-law is really good at making sauerkraut. When it’s ready this autumn, I’ll send you some.”

"Then I have to rely on my sister-in-law for help. I'm not really good at this job." Lan Hanlu likes her sister-in-law very much. She is enthusiastic but very sensible.

She doesn't like people who are too enthusiastic and familiar, as it makes her feel uncomfortable or even annoyed.

"Oh, it's all a small matter. If you want to eat it, prepare the cabbage and the jar, and I will pickle it for you when the time comes." She waved her hand generously.

After saying goodbye to them, we went to the next house. The old lady was at home. Her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters were all out at school. The granddaughter-in-law also went out to buy groceries.

The old lady had bound feet, her hair meticulously combed, and her blue gown neatly worn without a wrinkle. Her expression was gentle and serene, but Lan Hanlu could sense her upbringing and temperament.

So she unconsciously brought out the rules and etiquette of ancient times, and her whole temperament became a little reserved. She even knelt slightly, which made the old lady's eyes light up instantly.

From the slightly distant and friendly attitude just now to the loving and friendly attitude now, it only took a glance, "The Yun family's daughter-in-law, this is really a lovely person. Good looks, good upbringing, everything is just right for me."
