"Let's go to my house for dinner tonight." Du Weihai looked at Du Yidonggang deeply, then looked away in disgust.

To be honest, people shouldn't be too greedy. Just because you have a smart daughter, you can't expect your son to be anything special. But sometimes he can't help but think too much.

"Dad, Xiaomei is pregnant again." Du Yidonggang said with a silly smile on his face.

They got married in the first month of last year. At the end of the year, his wife gave birth to a son. He hoped that this baby would be a daughter because people said that his niece looked like a girl.

"This is a happy event!" Du Weihai looked at Du Yidong with a slightly kinder look. This son was a bit useless, but he could be put to good use, for example, to have more children for the Du family.

Then he thought of the fourth and fifth brothers. The two brothers joined the army in March last year and received an allowance of 6 yuan each month.

This money was only enough for the two brothers' living expenses, but they insisted on sending back half of their allowance every month.

Some people said that he should be happy after raising his son for so many years and finally seeing the return of his money, but he couldn't be happy and his heart was filled with heartache.

The two brothers would send money home every month, but at the beginning of this year, the fifth brother suddenly stopped sending money, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Because there is a saying among these military families that sending money home every month is a way to report safety.

If you don’t receive money one day, but receive a large sum of money after a while, that is a pension.

During that time, he was so anxious that his mouth was covered with blisters. The key point was that he had no place to ask for information because the two brothers were not in the same unit.

Half a year later, he did receive the money, and it was two hundred yuan. He almost fainted at that time.

You have to know that this year is Lao Wu’s second year in the army, and his allowance is only 7 yuan. Where does Lao Wu get so much money?

Later, it was his wife who reminded him that the pension was not at this price, and he finally felt relieved.

It was not until half a month later that he received a letter from Lao Wu. On it were only four words: "Be safe, don't worry." It looked very much like the letter his eldest daughter wrote to him.

The night he received the letter, he wanted to hide in his bed and cry his heart out, but his wife twisted his arm until it was purple, saying that it was unlucky for him to do that.

His premonition was right. Several months had passed since he last received the letter with four words, and until now, he had not received the next letter from Lao Wu.

He has five children in total. One is unknown whether he is alive or dead (the fifth child), one cannot be asked (the eldest child), and the other can receive 3 yuan every month (the fourth child).

He didn't know how other soldiers' parents got through it. In short, he was both looking forward to receiving the letter and afraid of it, because no news was good news.

Now he only has two sons by his side. Thinking of this, he looked at Du Yidonggang with eyes full of love.

He never asked his children to achieve great things, he just hoped that they would be safe and sound.

"Dad, don't worry. I will definitely be promoted to a third-level worker in the next evaluation." Du Yidonggang said anxiously when he met his father's loving gaze.

Every time his father looked at him like this, he asked him to work hard.

He dared to swear to God that he worked really hard. It took an apprentice three years to become a regular employee, but it only took him more than two years, and the evaluation was done every three years.

"Don't push yourself so hard. A man's virtue lies in his lack of talent." After saying this, Du Weihai patted Du Yidonggang's shoulder soothingly.

Du Yidonggang was completely confused. His father had clearly told him that a man must strive.

He didn't understand why his father suddenly said such a thing, but he quickly put it out of his mind. Why bother to dwell on something he couldn't understand?

All he has to do is remember that today is a good day!

So after get off work, he ran to the grocery store immediately to tell Zhou Mei the good news and buy some good food.

"That's great!" Zhou Mei was very happy after hearing this. Her father-in-law became a deputy section chief, which means he is a cadre.

The other salespeople congratulated Zhou Mei, their eyes full of envy. Marrying into the Du family was like falling into a blessed nest. As soon as they got married, the young couple closed the door and lived their own life.

Every family has a large family. With more than a dozen people living together, there will always be chaos!

The key is that the Du family is well-off and everyone is capable. Now my father-in-law has become a deputy section chief. Who wouldn’t envy them?

Those who once made fun of the Du family for having four sons should regret it now.

"Dad asked us to go back for dinner tonight." Du Yidonggang winked at Zhou Mei while speaking, and the latter nodded in understanding.

Every industry has its own alleys. For example, in a vegetable store, insiders can buy better vegetables for the same price.

The meat was obviously sold out, but insiders could still buy it.

"Zhou Mei, you should go back soon. There's not much work left." Someone nearby said, and the others chimed in. Even the director was polite to Zhou Mei, let alone ordinary salespeople like them.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhou Mei agreed with a smile. Everyone has problems at home. When others are busy, you can help them. When it is your family's turn to have problems, others can also help you.

There is give and take, that's the way of the world.

Logically speaking, meat should not be available for purchase at this time, but when Zhou Mei arrived at the meat stall, the butcher immediately took out a piece of pork belly weighing more than a pound.

The two of them arrived at the family compound. As soon as they entered, Zhou Mei didn't even look at her son, and went straight into the kitchen to busy herself.

Before the child was weaned, she took care of the child while she went to work. After the child was weaned, Du's mother helped take care of the child during the day, and she took care of the child herself at night.

She would send some food over from time to time. Before she got married, her mother told her that as the eldest daughter-in-law, she should be generous, especially since she had three younger brothers.

As long as she did this well, her parents-in-law would turn a blind eye to even small mistakes in other areas. What her mother said was indeed right.

Some people advised her to sell her job and stay at home to take care of her children, but she refused!

It is indeed hard to work and take care of children at the same time, but she has a lot of confidence in her husband's family!

Besides, his parents spent so much money to find her a job, not so that she could be a housewife after marriage.

Then, she gave her parents-in-law five dollars of pension every month. Regardless of whether they wanted it or not, she insisted on giving it to them. She had to do what she should do.

When Du's mother saw Du Yidong coming in, she stuffed the child in her arms into his arms. She turned and went into the kitchen. She was not a mother-in-law who would torture her daughter-in-law, but she would not praise her daughter-in-law too much either.

She treated her daughter-in-law the same way her mother-in-law treated her, and she continued to do the same after her other sons got married, without any bias.
