After the wedding: I’m not stupid anymore, I’ll beat up anyone who messes with me!

Zhao's mother actually knew about this matter and said, "I don't plan to go back to my hometown to hold another wedding this time."

Not planning to go back for the wedding?

"What does Xiaofeng's wife look like?"

Mother Zhao glanced at her and said, "She's pretty and gentle."

Gentle and gentle?

Sanhe Niang had seen Zhao Yunhai's wife.

"Compared to Xiaohai's wife?"

Before Zhao's mother could say anything, Grandma Zhao, who had walked in, took over and said, "They're all pretty much the same. Both of their granddaughters-in-law are from Beijing, and both of their parents are working."

But Grandma Zhao still knew the difference between officials and technicians.

She doesn't want anything from these younger generations, so she treats her granddaughters-in-law fairly regardless of their family background.

Sanhe Niang didn't dare to ask.

It seems like my aunt is angry.

After eating, he immediately cleaned up the dishes and left.

"Aunt, aunt, you don't know, our brigade has changed a lot now. The herbs we planted last year sold for a lot of money. It's much more profitable than growing grain, and the work is much easier than growing grain. This year, we have to dig herbs again."

Nowadays, almost every household in his hometown grows some medicinal herbs. Zhao Jianping was afraid that there would be trouble, so he basically forced every household to grow them.

But some plant more, and some plant less.

After selling herbs last year and receiving this money, these people started growing herbs seriously this year without any urging from the village or the cooperative, and some families even expanded their herb planting.

“It’s a good situation.”

Sanhe Niang smiled and said, "Jianping also has a capable person. With him leading the villagers to grow herbs, I'm afraid that in a few years, almost every household in the village will be able to build a brick house."

Now in the 1980s, there are private factories in the city.

Some people in the village have gone out to work.

But there are even more people who do not go out to work.

Nowadays, you can make money by growing herbs at home, of course without having to go out.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, building a brick house is not a problem at all."

Mother Zhao thought of another thing, "Hasn't Erzhuang received the admission letter yet?"

After hearing the reminder from the eldest son's wife, Grandma Zhao also thought of this matter.

"Er Zhuang..."

Mikawa-san knows more.

"Aunt, sister-in-law, Erzhuang should be graduating soon. Several people in our team have received their admission letters and have read them. I even attended the graduation banquet."

When her youngest child passed the entrance exam, they held a graduation banquet. Now that someone in the team has passed the entrance exam, they hold one at home. No matter how well it goes, it's lively anyway.

"Nowadays, more and more people in our brigade have been admitted to universities. Some have been admitted to technical secondary schools, some to junior colleges, and some to universities in the provincial capital."

Because of Zhao Yunshu's example, more and more children in the brigade are going to school.

For example, family members certainly hope that their children will have a bright future.

Even girls.

Many girls know that they have only one way out, which is to study. If they fail in their studies, what awaits them is to get married and have children when they are old enough, and repeat the life of their parents.

"That's good."

Sanhe's mother told them another story. "That Dahua mother was sent to labor camp for a few years. When the land was divided, she didn't return to her parents' home, but stayed in our brigade. Now she's growing a lot of herbs. But Xiaobao isn't doing well, and he's not young anymore. Dahua's mother wanted to find a wife for him, but he didn't want to. I heard he went out to work with someone who was working outside."

Xiaobao, Zhao's mother knows about it.

"Going out to work?"

"Dahua's father is now being strictly controlled by Widow Yang. How can he find a wife? Dahua's father even wanted to ask Dahua and the others for money to build a house, but Dahua's mother scolded him. She said that she gave birth to these daughters, and as a father, he didn't pay for his own son to build a house and marry a wife, but provided money for other people's sons to build houses and marry wives. She also cursed him, saying that he would be useless when he got old. His wife kicked him away."

This incident shocked Grandma Zhao and Mother Zhao.

"Dahua's mother often fights with Widow Yang. If Dahua's father dares to intervene, Dahua's mother scolds him. We've seen it happen several times."

There is so much gossip in the countryside.

Unlike in their city, most people don't want to make their dirty laundry public, and they only find out about it when it's actually exposed.

"Dahua, Erhua, Sanhua, the sisters run their own business. I heard they've made quite a bit of money. They only come back once during Chinese New Year and other holidays, divide the food between the two families, and then go back without even eating."

Grandma Zhao and Mother Zhao looked at each other.

"Did Dahua remarry?"

Sanhe's mother shook her head. "Dahua didn't remarry. I heard her ex-husband beat her to the point where she couldn't have children, so she gave up on remarriage. Erhua's husband was laid off, but they went to the city to do business next to Dahua. Erhua's sister-in-law is a college student. As for Sanhua, her husband used to be a factory manager. She and Dahua are in business together, and their stepchildren are all grown up and are also college students."

Sanhe's mother knew a lot about what was happening in her hometown.

Listening to these things in her hometown, especially hearing that someone had passed away, Grandma Zhao couldn't help but sigh and feel a little surprised.

Some of them were much younger than them, and some looked in good spirits when they last went back. How could they just leave like that?

Zhao Jianshe came to the courtyard to pick up his mother after get off work.

"Grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle, brother-in-law..."

"Sanhe..." Sanhe's mother was still used to calling her youngest son by his nickname.

"We'll go back first. Huahua must be waiting for me at home."

Everyone waved.

"Mom, why didn't you give me a call when you came to Beijing so I could pick you up at the train station?"

"I came here with your uncle. Xiaofeng is getting married, so I just came with him. We grow crops and herbs at home, and your father needs to be busy at home."

"Herbs?"

"The village has set up a cooperative. We only grow herbs. How to sell them is handled by the cooperative. We can raise rabbits and grow herbs."

cooperative?

Zhao Jianshe heard it at the time.

"Mom, I welcome you to come to Beijing to help me take care of Huahua because you feel sorry for your son. However, Huahua likes to be clean, so some of her habits need to be changed. Especially in this hot weather, she can't eat meals she hasn't eaten in a while, otherwise she'll easily get an upset stomach..."

Zhao Jianshe was really afraid that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not get along well.

This conflict made him not know how to mediate?

One is his mother who gave birth to him.

One is the daughter-in-law who gave birth to his children.

"Your grandmother and aunt told me."

It is said that city people love cleanliness. When the weather is hot, they basically take a shower every day. As for hygiene, they clean every day and do a thorough cleaning once a month. As for taste and food, they cook whatever young people buy. If you want to learn how to cook here, you will have the opportunity to stay in Beijing and enjoy life.

Mikawa mother knows.

The couple can still move now, but they will be old in a few years.
