Chapter 300 Jiandong, you have to be nice to our elder sister
During the meal, Gu Jiandong discussed 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.
There is absolutely no problem with the ingredients, and the leader approved it quickly. The Shen family also knows about this.
The main mission of coming back this time is to get married.
Although it was a door-to-door service, Gu Jiandong still prepared a betrothal gift and three transfers and one 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 several hundred yuan to buy four major items, mainly because her baby already has a bicycle and a watch. She doesn't like to use the radio and sewing machine, and they just gather dust after she bought them.
It is better to save this money for use in raising children in the future.
Old Mrs. Shen said that it was not necessary to give a betrothal gift, as they had already come to the doorstep and it was up to them 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, "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's 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. As for meat, we have some bacon and salted fish. Honey, go to the mountains and see if you can hunt some game."
"Got it, 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, "Grandma Shen, don't worry, there will be enough 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 autumn 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 nice to our eldest sister and never let her suffer any injustice.
When she is at home, we have never let our elder sister suffer any injustice. If you have any problem, just talk to her nicely and never use violence, okay?"
If a fight breaks out, they won't be able to save him even though they are thousands of miles away. If the elder sister's fist hits him, Jiandong will be skinned alive if not killed.
Gu Jiandong didn't know what they were thinking. He thought they were worried that he would hit Shen Shuyu and Shen Shuyu would get hurt, so he made a serious promise.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, don't worry, my fists will only be used to protect Shu Yu, and will never be used to hurt her in the slightest."
Shu Yu is the girl he has been dreaming of marrying, and 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. Shen Shuyu sat for a while after finishing his meal.
I went to the yard to fetch water for the white radish to bathe. Even after the water was filled, the white radish refused to enter the bucket.
"Shu Yu, I'll give the white radish a bath later."
After hearing this, Shen Shuyu stopped paying attention to the children. She played with Xiaoyaner and teased Xiaoan from time to time.
The little baby is really cute when he doesn't cry or make a fuss and just blows bubbles obediently.
But when the child was crying all the time, she was really tired. Even with her mother-in-law helping her take care of the child, Yang Fangfang felt exhausted.
When she talked about this with her mother-in-law, Zhang Cuicui always said, "It will be fine after the second child is born. Then the older one can 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 that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. After all, it was like this in this era, and children were left alone.
The family will worry about the first child if no one takes care of him, but they won't worry about the second, third, and fourth children.
The children are taken care of by their older brothers and sisters. The adults in the family are busy earning food for the children and have basically no time to take care of them.
Yang Fangfang also went through the same thing, and she raised her younger brother.
Xiao Yaner really likes to be held by her aunt. Every time Shen Shuyu holds her, she grins. If Shen Jiabao comes over, the child's smile disappears in a second as if her face changes.
Shen Jiabao often suspected that his daughter didn't like him as a father, and he sighed a lot.
Yang Fangfang understood her daughter. She knew that her daughter didn't dislike her father, but she disliked her father's stinky smell, which was why there was no smile on her face.
Shen Jiabao sweats profusely at work every day and doesn't even change his clothes when he comes back. Xiaoyaner naturally despises him.
She refused to take a shower or change clothes, and she wouldn't let her father hold her.
Seeing that she liked children, Yang Fangfang smiled and said, "Big sister, when you and Jiandong get married, you will have your own children."
Shen Shuyu also laughed, "Then I need to learn more about how to raise a child."
Shen Shuyu really likes children, and she didn't feel embarrassed when Yang Fangfang talked about having children.
Shen Qiu patted his chest and said, "I have to learn too. When my eldest sister has a child, I will take care of it for her."
Old Lady Shen poked her granddaughter on the forehead and said, "You don't need to take care of your sister's child. When the time comes, your second aunt will help take care of it."
"Then my second aunt and I will help take care of it together."
Li Caixia didn't know what to say to her daughter. She could see that this girl just stuck to her sister.
Gu Jiandong and his friends drank until after eleven o'clock, and Old Lady Shen stopped them from drinking. "You still have to go to work tomorrow. Go wash up and get ready for bed. Don't delay your work tomorrow."
The old men were just chatting and didn't drink much. Old man Shen felt unsatisfied and said, "Have another bowl."
"What are you drinking? Go take a shower and sleep." Old Mrs. Shen took the jar of wine and the bowls away.
Gu Jiandong had not held the child that Yang Fangfang and Liu Pan had seen. Xiao An was in Shen Shuyu's arms, and Gu Jiandong sat next to Shen Shuyu, and the two of them were playing with the child.
He and Shuyu will have their own children in the future, so Gu Jiandong asked Shen Shuyu to teach him how to hold a child.
After Shen Shuyu taught him once, Gu Jiandong knew how to hold the baby. Maybe because Gu Jiandong was too serious, Xiao An looked at him with his dark eyes and started crying.
Gu Jiandong's whole body was tense, and he was a little at a loss. He didn't know how to coax the child, so Shen Shuyu turned the rattle. When Xiao An saw the familiar elder sister, her crying voice gradually became softer.
But I start crying again when I see Gu Jiandong.
"Shu Yu, why don't you hold me."
Shen Shuyu took Xiao An over, and Shen Qiu brought Xiao Yan over. "Brother Jiandong, hold Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan just had a full meal and is very happy now."
Xiaoyaner in Shen Qiu's arms was playing with bubbles. When her eyes fell on Gu Jiandong, the little girl looked at him blankly and then burst into tears, her voice very loud.
Gu Jiandong, who was about to reach out to hug the child, touched his hair. Did the buzz cut make him look too old and too fierce?
