The Zhao family's face was completely lost on this day.

In the following days, the family of the girl who was engaged to Brother Zhao asked for a betrothal gift in the same way that the Zhao family had asked Xu Jianjun for it, but they also did not want to take it back and did not give any dowry.

The Zhao family was not willing to do so and had a big fight with the girl's family.

In the end, the marriage fell through.

At the same time, the Zhao family's reputation plummeted.

Most people said the Zhao family deserved it.

There was also a small group of people who scolded Zhao Cui'e and the Xu family for going too far, saying that Zhao Cui'e had no conscience and even dealt with her own parents.

The Zhao family also announced that they would cut off ties with Zhao Cui'e, and from now on, the Zhao family would pretend that she did not exist and would never have any contact with them again.

Xu Yu asked her sister-in-law, who was holding Kang Kang and feeding him, "Sister-in-law, do you regret it?"

A smile appeared on Zhao Cui'e's lips.

She said: "From what they did when Jianjun and I got married, and the sudden increase in the betrothal gift, I am no longer a member of the Zhao family."

After saying this, he looked at Kang Kang tenderly and added, "Now I no longer have to worry about going back and hearing them talk about the difficulties at home. They always ask Jianjun and me to help out with the brothers. They even have to call Jianjun back to help with building a house. I don't have to trouble my parents, Jianping, and you guys. I feel so relaxed."

Xu Yu looked at his sister-in-law's expression and knew that she was truly disappointed with the Zhao family. He was satisfied and said to her with a smile, "From now on, you and we will be a family. You just need to take care of your little family and live a good life with your brother."

Zhao Cui'e also smiled at her and then nodded.

National Day comes just a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On this day, both students and educated youth will have a day off.

Xu Yu suggested a few days ago that we celebrate at the place where the gentlemen live.

This proposal was agreed by everyone.

The day before National Day, Jiang Yi not only took people to the mountains to catch some wild game, but also picked a lot of wild fruits. At dawn that day, Jiang Qingyun and Yang Yunhui began to kill chickens and ducks.

The Xu family also came early.

Without saying a word, the whole family rolled up their sleeves and started working together.

Even Zhao Cui'e put Kang Kang in the cradle and asked Xu Jianhua and Huanhuan to watch over him at Xu Yu's house, and then went over to help.

As a six-month pregnant woman, Xu Yu was definitely not allowed to work.

She sat on the recliner and listened to Xu Jianhua and Huanhuan talking.

Xu Jianhua said to Huanhuan, "Huanhuan, look at Kangkang's mouth moving. He must be dreaming about something delicious."

"I used to dream about a lot of delicious food at night, and it always woke me up."

"I also dreamed that I would make a giant thing that could fly very far, and then explode a huge mushroom-like cloud in the bad guys' country. It would be so beautiful."

"Huanhuan, do you dream at night?"

Xu Yu followed Xu Jianhua's words and stared at Huanhuan's little face.

Huanhuan can now listen to some of what everyone says, but his reaction is still a little slower than that of other children.

So she thought for a long time before she said, "I dreamed that I was as powerful as my mother."

Xu Jianhua immediately said, "Huanhuan, you also want to be a doctor."

Huanhuan nodded at him solemnly.

Xu Jianhua patted her head and praised her like a little adult: "Huanhuan, you are great!"

Huanhuan gave a shy smile after a while.

Xu Jianhua grinned with his toothless mouth and narrowed his eyes.

Xu Yu was also amused by the interaction between the two children.

She talked to Xu Jianhua about the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb.

These two things have existed in China for a long time, but people in rural areas basically don't know about them.

Xu Jianhua hadn't heard of it either.

Now after hearing what Xu Yu said, his eyes became bright and he immediately asked Xu Yu a lot about the power of these two things.

Xu Yu actually didn't know much, so he asked Xu Jianhua to study hard so that when he was admitted to a university, he could do his own research.

She also told him about various missiles.

Thinking of the intercontinental missile launched by the country that shocked the whole world the year before she traveled through time, she also talked about it with Xu Jianhua.

Hearing Xu Jianhua's excitement, the seed of serving the country was planted in his young heart.

Of course, this is something.

Xu Yu told Xu Jianhua everything he knew. After sitting for a long time, he wanted to get up and take a walk.

She didn't even try to stand up from the chair by herself, but waved towards Xu Jianhua and Huanhuan: "Jianhua, Huanhuan, come and help me."

Xu Jianhua immediately pulled Huanhuan towards Xu Yu.

After the two men helped Xu Yu up, Xu Yu said to them, "You guys take care of Kang Kang. I'm going to the bathroom."

She has been urinating frequently recently and has to go to the toilet every once in a while.

The two children nodded immediately.

Xu Yu walked towards the bedroom.

Dingdang's barking sound came from the hillside behind, and Xu Yu knew that Dingdang was trying to make the chickens and ducks obedient again.

When she finished using the restroom and walked into the bedroom, she heard Xu Jianping's voice: "Jianhua, where is Xiaoyu?"

"Sister went to the bathroom."

Then came Xiao Tang's voice: "Jianhua, Huanhuan, hello."

"Sister Xiao Tang!"

"Sister Xiao Tang!"

"Hey! Did you miss me?"

"I think about it!"

"I think about it!"

When Xu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and continued to walk outside.

Xu Jianhua and the others were in the main hall. When Xu Yu came out, Xiao Tang was shocked again when he saw Xu Yu's belly: "Xiao Yu, how come your belly has grown so much again!"

After saying that, he hurried over to support her.

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Babies grow fast at this time, so your belly will definitely get bigger and bigger."

"It's so big, it's inconvenient for you to do anything."

"Ah."

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Xu Jianping said, "Xiao Tang, you play with my sister and the others. I'm going over."

Xiao Tang nodded at him.

Xu Jianping left.

Xiao Tang wanted to help Xu Yu sit down.

Xu Yu said, "I'll stand for a while, you sit down."

"Then I won't sit either."

Xu Yu asked her, "Who did you come with?"

Xiao Tang told her, "A few days ago, you asked Xu Jianping to tell you that we would celebrate National Day with you gentlemen today. I told my uncle about it, and he said he would come too, so we came together early this morning."

Xiao Tang hadn't been here for over a month, so when he saw Kang Kang for the first time, he was amazed: "I heard you say before that Kang Kang was born prematurely and was very small. Now he's only been here for over a month, and he's already the same size as the two or three-month-old babies I saw before."

"Sister-in-law has good milk, so Kang Kang will grow well."

"It's probably because of your supplement, Xiaoyu."

Xu Yu smiled, and then the two of them talked about other things.

Xiao Tang smiled and asked Xu Yu: "Xiao Yu, many people are preparing for the college entrance examination now. Do you want to try it too?"

The college entrance examination will be held on December 10th in the year when it was resumed, which is about two months away.

Xu Yu pointed at her belly and asked with a smile: "Do you think I can take the college entrance examination now?"

"Then go and participate next year."

Xu Yu shook his head: "I won't take the college entrance examination. I will give this opportunity to others."

Xiao Tang was sent here by Xu Jianping.

Xiao Tang also asked Xu Jianping the same question while they were on the road.

Xu Jianping said the same thing at the time.

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "You two are indeed siblings!"

After saying that, both of them couldn't help laughing.

When it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Yi came to pick up Xu Yu and the others.

Zhao Cui'e followed along.

Zhao Cui'e is holding Kang Kang.

Xiao Tang walked beside Zhao Cui'e and chatted with her casually.

Xu Jianhua held Huanhuan's hand.

Jiang Yi held Kang Kang's cradle with one hand and held Xu Yu's waist with the other.

As Xiao Tang walked over, he looked at Kang Kang who was soundly sleeping and praised him, "Kang Kang is so good. He keeps sleeping and doesn't cry."

Zhao Cui'e laughed and said, "That's because you haven't seen him cry. When this kid cries, his voice is so loud that people two miles away can hear him."

Xiao Tang didn't believe it and said, "Such a cute little baby is still cute even when crying."

This made Xu Yu and Zhao Cui'e laugh.

Xu Yu nodded: "As long as he doesn't cry, he is indeed very cute."

Zhao Cui'e: "Yes."

The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at the yard where the gentlemen lived.

There are two rows of houses facing each other, with a large yard in the middle.

The weather was already cool during National Day, so the table was placed directly in the yard.

The others were already seated.

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi were called over by Mr. Hu and others.

Xiao Tang was originally planning to go to her uncle's place, but she asked Zhao Cui'e to take her directly to the table where Zhang Hongmei and Yang Wenhui were sitting.
