Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

When they saw Su Yue coming over

The third daughter-in-law’s eyes flickered guiltily, she was too embarrassed to talk to Su Yue, so she turned around and went to work in her kitchen.

Su Yue didn’t care and went directly into the original large kitchen, where Mrs. Han was packing up the meals to be made for lunch.

Su Yue put on an apron and rolled up her sleeves, “Aunty, let me do it. You help me light the fire.”

Old Mrs. Han was not polite to her, and happily put down the dishes in her hand, “Okay, your skills are good, the dishes you cook are much more delicious than those cooked by aunt. You will be in charge of cooking today, and aunt will help you.”

“Okay~” Su Yue glanced at the dishes placed on the stove and found that there was not only meat, there was also a fish, and she couldn’t help but said “Wow”, “It’s so good today, and there are fish.”

Old Mrs. Han laughed, “I asked Aimin to buy the meat at the commune, and Aiguo caught the fish from the river in the morning, it’s still fresh. I thought it would be a good day to distribute autumn grain today. Let’s have a good meal and celebrate.”

Su Yue agreed very much with the old lady’s idea. She liked this about Old Mrs. Han, conditionally. She will never be stingy at all times, she will never treat her family badly, and try her best to let everyone eat well. Unlike most old people in the village, who are frugal and reluctant to eat or drink, and want to save any money they have, everyone in the family is malnourished, has a sallow complexion and is thin.

Su Yue never likes to be frugal when it comes to eating, and eating as much as possible is the best thing. However, if the way she lived her life was placed in other families, she would have been talked about to death, so Mrs. Han thought it was very good.

Su Yue saw that there were eggplant and loofah among the vegetables, so she decided to make loofah meatballs, pan-fried eggplant pancakes, a stewed egg with minced meat, and sweet and sour fish for lunch.

When the aroma of the food slowly spread out from the kitchen, a few little heads peeked out of the kitchen door. Su Yue turned her back to them and could hear the sounds of swallowing. It was difficult to ignore them.

Looking back, she saw three little heads hiding behind the kitchen door, each of them staring longingly at the pot in the kitchen, with longing expressions on their faces.

Su Yue couldn’t help laughing immediately, and Mrs. Han couldn’t help but want to laugh when she saw the expressions of these children. She waved to them and asked Taohua, the leader: “Has your family prepared food? ”

As soon as she came in, although she stood in front of Old Mrs. Han, her eyes were reluctant to leave the cauldron. Taohua resisted her greed while answering: “My mother is cooking, and it’s not ready yet.”

Maomao, the third son of Han’s family, pointed his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth and ate it, as if it was like eating meat. While gnawing his fingers, he acted coquettishly to Mrs. Han: “Grandma, I don’t want to eat the food cooked by my mother. I want to eat the food cooked by you. My mother is not good at cooking. She doesn’t even buy meat, just potatoes and cabbage every day! I want to eat meat~”

Although the little guy was young, his tone of voice was full of resentment towards the food.

Xiao Lei from Han’s second family also nodded after Maomao, his tone full of resentment, “I don’t want to eat the food cooked by my mother either. My mother always burns water and doesn’t even have rice!”

Taohua lowered her head sadly at the side, she didn’t dare to say it,

She and her sister couldn’t eat enough every day, and her sister had to do a lot of work. They were so hungry that they couldn’t sleep every night, but they didn’t dare to ask their mother for food, otherwise she would scold them.

When Old Mrs. Han heard this, her expression was not very good. She lived under the same roof. She generally knew how the two daughters-in-law lived. They were reluctant to spend the little money in their hands. They were even more careful about food than a old woman like her. It’s much worse than before the separation. They don’t want to think about how the children will grow up and what the men in the family will do if they don’t have enough to eat and have to do hard work every day.

These two have shallow eyelids!

But the family has been separated and They are in charge of their own home. As an old woman, she cannot take care of what her two sons eat and drink every day. If she does, she will be accused of being nosy.

Old Mrs. Han planned to take some time to talk to the second and third sons. They could not let their wives to blindly save money and not let the children eat well, otherwise they would not grow well.

When she brought up her four children, she never skimped on food and tried her best to feed her four children well. Only then did her four sons grow tall, big, and strong.

Su Yue felt helpless after hearing what the children said, but she was an outsider after all, and it was hard for her to comment on the way other people’s families lived yesterday, so she tentatively asked Mrs. Han: “Auntie, should we cook more and take the children to eat together?”

Old Mrs. Han wanted to nod, but she held back. It wasn’t that she didn’t feel sorry for her grandchildren, but she was afraid that they would develop a habit. If she took them to eat with her as soon as they came. Her two daughters-in-law, who know how to live well, will definitely let their children come here every day to eat and drink, and then they will be raised by her, a separated grandmother.

She said that she would no longer care about their affairs, and naturally she would no longer help them raise their children.

Mrs. Han thought for a while and said, “I’ve cooked a lot of food today. Let’s put some food in bowls later and give some to the second and third children’s families. Let the children have a taste of meat and fish.”

Su Yue had no objection and waited. After the food in the pot was ready, she took out two large porcelain bowls, filled them with a full bowl of vegetables, and handed one of the bowls to Taohua, “Taohua, take it home to your mother.”

Taohua was very happy, She carefully took the bowl and thanked Su Yue excitedly: “Thank you, Aunt Yueyue.”

Su Yue touched her head and told her to be careful.

Taohua carefully carried the bowl and took her younger brother Xiaolei back to find her mother.

Seeing them leaving, Maomao from Han Laosan’s family hurriedly stretched out his hands to reach for the bowl on the stove, “My family’s!!! my family’s, I’ll take them!”

He couldn’t even walk steadily, so how could Su Yue rest assured? When she was carrying the bowl, she called Han Aiguo and gave the bowl to him, “You can give it to the third child’s house. Maomao is not stable.”

Han Aiguo nodded and touched her cheek without leaving any trace. No one noticed. His actions were only seen by Maomao, who was staring at the bowl intently, but the little kid didn’t understand anything. He only drooled at the food in the bowl.

Su Yue gave him an angry look and turned back to the kitchen to continue working.

Han Aiguo smiled and took Maomao to deliver the food.

When Han Aiguo comes back, dinner will be served here. After the family was divided, there were only four people including Su Yue eating at the old house. The square table was just right for one person to sit on one side.

Han Aimin’s mouth is full of oil after eating.

He was so happy. Ever since he had met Sister Su Yue, he felt that life was particularly meaningful. There were delicious food and drinks at every turn. What could be happier than such a life? He really couldn’t understand why the third sister-in-law wanted to seperate. If she didn’t do it, wouldn’t her life be better? They separated the family but what they eat every day now is not as good as them.

Anyway, he will hug Sister Su Yue’s thigh tightly from now on and follow Sister Su Yue resolutely. It’s a pity that Sister Su Yue is not his biological sister and can’t live with them every day. He can only taste her craftsmanship occasionally. What a pity.

Thinking of this, Han Aimin looked at Su Yue with admiration, and said sincerely: “Sister Su Yue, how about I accept you as my god-sister, and then let my mother accept you as god-daughter, and you can live in our house from now on, so that we can eat your cooking every day.”

As soon as he said this, Su Yue couldn’t help but smile and glanced at Han Aiguo meaningfully.

However, Han Aiguo did not smile. He frowned and said categorically to Han Aimin: “No!”

Han Aimin was puzzled: “Why? Sister Su Yue has no relatives and friends here. How pitiful she is. After coming to our house, I can take care of her. If Sister Su Yue gets married in the future, I can also support Sister Su Yue. No one can bully Sister Su Yue.”

Su Yue heard it funny and moved, holding back a smile and asked him: “Then what if Sister Su Yue gets married in the future? What will you do if her husband bullies Sister Su Yue?”

Han Aimin immediately raised his fist, exposed the muscles on his arm, and said with a serious face: “If he dares to bully you, I will beat him to death! I have to beat him until he can’t get up!”

Han Aiguo’s face turned black. Who is this kid going to beat to death? And is he a man who bullies his wife?

Su Yue tilted her head to suppress a smile.

“Pfft… Hahaha…” Su Yue held it in, but Mrs. Han didn’t hold it in. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

Han Aimin was confused by his mother’s laughter, “What are you doing? What did I say wrong ? Mother, why are you laughing like this?” Why does it feel like there is something he doesn’t know?

Mrs. Han poked Han Aimin’s head with her finger and scolded with a smile: “You have a stupid head, but  you don’t even have sharp eyesight.” he followed Su Yue and his elder brother around every day and didn’t notice anything fishy, stupid boy!

“What?” Han Aimin scratched his head, “Mom, why did you say I was a fool? What happened ?”

Old Mrs. Han had given up hope in his eyesight and asked, “Do you not want to recognize your sister Su Yue as your sister-in-law? A sister-in-law is from our Han family, so she would be closer than a sister, right?”

Han Aimin blinked and replied subconsciously: “But my second brother and third brother are already married.”

At this time, Han Aiguo’s face turned completely dark and he couldn’t help but speak out, “Han Aimin, do you only have the second and third brother ?”

Han Aimin was stunned. The next second, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened.

He looked back and forth between his eldest brother and Su Yue in disbelief, and asked stutteringly: “Big, big brother, are you and Sister Su Yue…”

Han Aiguo grinded his teeth, “Why, Do you think there’s anything wrong?”

Han Aimin was simply stunned and couldn’t hold the chopsticks anymore.

“No, no, really? Sister Su Yue, are you and my elder brother in love?”

Su Yue pursed her lips and smiled, acquiescing slightly.

Old Mrs. Han couldn’t help but slap him in the face, “You stupid boy, you still don’t believe me when I say you are stupid. Your mother has noticed it but you didn’t notice it at all.”

Han Aimin was stunned for a long time before he could fully digest it.

He really didn’t expect that his eldest brother was almost thirty years old and was so many years older than Sister Su Yue. He always felt that the two of them were not of the same generation, so even though his eldest brother and Sister Su Yue occasionally behaved very close to each other, he didn’t think about it. , so he was so surprised after knowing the truth.

But after the surprise, Han Aimin’s eyes gradually brightened, and he began to feel excited. He couldn’t help but say: “Then Sister Su Yue will become my sister-in-law? Sister Su Yue will be a member of our Han family from now on!! This is great !!”

Seeing how happy he was, Han Aiguo finally looked better.This brat was not hopeless.

Su Yue watched Han Aiguo’s expression change and couldn’t help but laugh.

————

There was no need to work in the afternoon, so Su Yue stayed at Han’s house to help Old Mrs. Han make cakes. Han Aiguo also helped, and Hehua still lit the fire.

Now that she can no longer go to town to sell cakes, she doesn’t need to make so many cakes. Mrs. Han is much more relaxed. She only needs to spend half a day making cakes every day, and the rest of the time can be busy with housework at home. There is no delay at all, just money. She doesn’t earn as much as before, and the old lady feels very regretful.

Fortunately, she still had some money in her hand, and the money she earned from making cakes was enough to treat Aiguo’s legs. She was just a little worried when she thought about him marrying a wife. Yueyue is such a good girl, you can’t treat her badly. If you want to marry someone else’s girl, you have to get some decent betrothal gifts. I can’t get it all together, but there must be something big, that I have to buy it for Yueyue.

At least a sewing machine, plus other odds items, and money for the banquet, it would be a lot of money, and this money had to be prepared in advance.

Su Yue didn’t know that Mrs. Han was already worried about her marriage to Han Aiguo. At the moment, she was only making pastries seriously. Soon the first pot of pastries came out of the oven. Old Mrs. Han brought the basket of pastries and put the pastries in the pot. Put them in carefully one by one.

“Gululu——”

At this moment, a sound of stomach growling that was hard to ignore sounded in the kitchen, which stunned everyone present. After everyone looked at each other, they all turned their attention to Hehua who was sitting behind the stove and lighting the fire.

Hehua’s face turned red all of a sudden, she was so embarrassed that she bit her lower lip and did not dare to look at the three of them. She wished she could shrink herself into the stove and hide away from everyone.

Mrs. Han hurriedly asked: “Hehua, are you hungry? Didn’t you have enough for lunch?”

Hehua blushed, hesitated for a moment, and nodded cautiously.

Mrs. Han frowned, thinking of something, and her tone suddenly became serious, “Why didn’t you eat enough when I gave you such a big bowl of meat at noon? Did your mother not give it to you?”

Hehua shook her head and said nothing.

Old Mrs. Han was angry, “Hehua, don’t lie. Tell the truth to grandma. Did your mother not give it to you? Tell me, I will make the decision for you.”

Su Yue looked at Hehua still lowering her head and said nothing and hurriedly went to take out a cake from the pot, walked to Hehua and knelt down and handed it to her, “Eat a piece of cake to cushion your stomach. Aunt Yueyue will make you a bowl of fragrant noodles later, okay?”

Hehua’s eyes suddenly turned red and her shoulders shook slightly.
She is still a child and cannot face the unfairness and grievances in life calmly. In front of the people who love her, she will involuntarily want to cry and talk, “Grandma, I didn’t even eat a piece of meat at lunch, I just ate Half a bowl of sweet potato porridge, all the meat was given to my brother by my mother.”

Old Mrs. Han was very angry, “Your mother didn’t even give you and Taohua a piece of it?”

Hehua sobbed, “My mother said it was a waste for us girls to eat. We ate, but taohua was not full, so I gave her half a bowl of my sweet potato porridge.”

Old Mrs. Han dropped the things in her hands and gasped in anger, walked straight out of the kitchen, “I’m going to find second daughter-in-law. I’ll see what she wants to do. Is my granddaughter not a human being? It’s too much!”

Su Yue and Han Aiguo didn’t stop the old lady, because they both were also angry about the behavior of Han’s second daughter-in-law. Before, they only knew that she was a bit patriarchal, but not to this extent. Now she treats her two daughters like this after the family is divided. It seems that she was just forced before to treat them good.

Su Yue pushed the cake in her hand to Hehua, touched her head, “Eat it quickly.”

Hehua sniffed, glanced at Su Yue gratefully, lowered her head and ate the cake carefully and cherishingly.

At this time, the voices of Mrs. Han and Mr. Han’s daughter-in-law could be heard outside, and occasionally there was the voice of Han Er explaining. Su Yue thought for a while, then walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the door of Han Lao Er and his wife’s room. She saw Taohua crying pitifully and standing at the door, looking at a loss.

In the room, Mrs. Han was scolding second Han and his wife. Han’s second daughter-in-law was defending herself. Su Yue heard her say: “What can a girl do if she eats so well? Anyway, it doesn’t matter to give it to her brother. We were the same before.”

Su Yue couldn’t listen anymore, feeling depressed and uncomfortable. She walked forward and took Taohua’s hand, and whispered: “Don’t cry, go to the kitchen with Aunt Yueyue for a while.”

Taohua didn’t want to either stay here ,so she followed Su Yue decisively. When she entered the kitchen and saw hehua, she immediately run over and throw herself into her sister’s arms, calling her sister with a cry.

Hehua quickly hugged her sister and patted her shoulder to comfort her not to cry.

Su Yue felt sad and gave each of the sisters two pieces of cake to eat quickly.

The way the two sisters devoured their food made Su Yue feel even more uncomfortable, making her feel unspeakably angry.

Han Aiguo’s face was extremely dark, his lips were pursed tightly, he silently washed his hands, and said to Su Yue: “I’m going to find the second son.”

Knowing that he was going to teach Han Lao Er a lesson, Su Yue didn’t do anything, because at this time she also wants to teach Han Lao Er, a father, a lesson. She wants to ask, they are all their own flesh and blood, why is there such a big difference, don’t girls need love?

Su Yue didn’t care about what was happening outside. When she saw the Hehua sisters finished eating the cake, she said to them, “You two light the fire for Aunt Yueyue. Auntie will make you a bowl of fragrant shredded pork noodles now?”

Hehua and Taohua’s eyes lit up and she nodded her head happily. The two sisters immediately started to add firewood to the stove together.

There was still shredded pork leftover at noon. Su Yue took out some flour from the pastry flour, mixed it with water, then flattened it, cut it into thin strips, put the noodles into the boiling water, and waited until they were almost cooked. Add shredded pork and seasonings, and soon two bowls of noodles are ready.

Hehua and Taohua swallowed, and sat down at the small table at Su Yue’s signal. They each held a bowl of noodles and ate happily.
