During the meal, Gu Jiandong discussed the marriage with Old Man Shen. The first thing Gu Jiandong did when he returned to the army was to file a marriage report. Shen Shuyu's parents were both martyrs, so there was no problem with their background. The leaders approved it quickly, and the Shen family also knew about it.

The main task of coming back this time is to get married.

Although it was a door-to-door visit, Gu Jiandong still prepared a betrothal gift and three turns and a ring. Old Mrs. Shen shook her head and said, "No need to buy these. Save the money for you two young people to live on."

It cost hundreds of dollars to buy four big items, mainly because her baby already has a bicycle and a watch. She doesn't like to use the radio and sewing machine, so they just gather dust after she bought them.

It’s better to save this money and use it to raise children in the future.

Old Mrs. Shen said that there was no need for a betrothal gift, saying that since they had come to the house, it was their responsibility to give the betrothal gift to Jiandong.

"Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen, I asked my comrades to buy them for me. I'll pick them up tomorrow."

Old Lady Shen smiled and said, "You have the right idea, kid. Just buy it. When you go to the army, send these things over together."

At most, she would send a bicycle. Shen Shuyu did not plan to send a radio and a sewing machine. She would leave these two things at home for her grandmother to use.

It is also good to listen to the radio to relieve boredom when you are at home.

Even if Gu Jiandong didn't buy them, Shen Shuyu had planned to buy these two things for her grandparents before going to the army.

"There aren't enough vegetables in the vegetable garden. We'll have to trade some with everyone else. As for meat, we have some bacon and salted fish at home. Honey, go to the mountains and see if you can hunt some game."

"I understand, grandma." Gu Jiandong is back. Shen Shuyu plans to go up the mountain with Gu Jiandong to see if they can hunt two wild boars.

Gu Jiandong shared the same idea as her, "Don't worry, Grandma Shen, there will be plenty of meat for the banquet."

It is the autumn harvest season now and everyone is busy harvesting crops. Their banquet can only be held after the harvest. Fortunately, Gu Jiandong's vacation this time is long, almost a month, which is enough time.

The three brothers Shen Jiabao kept clinking bowls with Gu Jiandong, saying, "Jiandong, you have to be good to our eldest sister and never let her suffer any grievances.

When she's at home, we've never let our eldest sister suffer any injustice. If you have any problems, just talk to her nicely and don't use violence, okay?"

If they did, they wouldn't be able to save him even though they were thousands of miles away. If the elder sister's fist came down, Jiandong would be skinned alive even if he didn't die.

Gu Jiandong didn't know what they were thinking. He thought they were worried that he would hit Shen Shuyu and that she would get hurt. He solemnly assured her, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, don't worry. My fists will only be used to protect Shuyu and will never be used to hurt her in the slightest."

Shu Yu is the girl he has been thinking about all the time, the one he dreams of marrying. He loves her so much that how could he bear to hurt her?

They drank, and since their two children were getting married, they had endless topics to talk about. After eating, Shen Shuyu sat for a while and went to the yard to fetch water for the white radish to bathe. Even after the water was filled, the white radish refused to go into the bucket.

"Shu Yu, I'll give Bai Luobo a bath later."

After hearing this, Shen Shuyu ignored the child and played with Xiao Yaner and teased Xiao An.

The little baby is really cute when he doesn't cry or make a fuss and blows bubbles obediently.

But when the child was crying all the time, her heart was really tired. Even though Yang Fangfang had her mother-in-law to help take care of the child, she still felt exhausted.

When talking to her mother-in-law about this, Zhang Cuicui always said, "It will be fine after we give birth to our second child. Then the older one will take care of the younger one, and you as a mother can just go to work and take care of the housework."

Yang Fangfang felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong. After all, it was like this in this era, and children were left alone. The first child had no one to take care of him, and the family would worry about him, but the second, third, and fourth children were not taken care of that much.
