Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

After Hehua and Taohua finished eating noodles, Mrs. Han came back with Han Aiguo. Han Aiguo’s face was as always expressionless and nothing could be seen, but Mrs. Han’s face was not very good. One look at her showed that she was very unhappy.

　　In front of the children, Mrs. Han did not say what had just happened. She just told the Hehua sisters: “If your mother doesn’t feed you in the future, you will come to find me and grandma will support you.”

　　The both sisters were worried and confused but nodded happily.

　　After that, the old lady didn’t mention it again and continued making pastries.

　　When it was getting dark, all the pastries were finished. Seeing that dinner was ready, the old lady asked Su Yue to finish dinner here before going back. There was a lot of food left at noon. So just heat it up in the evening. If not eaten now it would worse tomorrow.

　　Su Yue responded.

　　Old Mrs. Han didn’t let both sister’s go back, and asked them to stay there and eat with them before going back.

　　Although Hehua really wanted to eat at Grandma’s place, she still shook her head, “No no, Taohua and I will go home to eat. Our rations are not here, so we can’t keep eating your rations.” She and Taohua had already eaten a lot today. So they shouldnt eat more , otherwise grandma’s rations will not be enough.

　　Old Mrs. Han knew that she was sensible, and she became more and more angry at the patriarchal attitude of the second couple. She rubbed her hair and said, “It’s okay. There are a lot of dishes left from the lunch. Let me make some corn pancakes, which will be enough for us.”

The second daughter-in-law hasn’t come to ask the two sisters to go back for dinner. She may be angry with the two sisters. Now she doesn’t know if they will have anything to eat when they go back.

　　Seeing this, Hehua hesitated for a moment, looked at her eager sister, and finally nodded in agreement. But when Old Mrs. Han was about to give her the fifty cents for lighting the fire today, she stuffed the money back into old Mrs.Han’s hand and said, “grandma, from now on I will light the fire for free for you. Instead ,can you give me two pieces of cake every day?” Her mother doesn’t give them enough to eat. She and Taohua are so hungry that they can’t sleep at night. If they can get two pieces of cake from the grandma, then they won’t be afraid of starvation.

　　After thinking about it, Old Mrs. Han knew why the child wanted cake. With the second daughter-in-law’s attitude, the two children would definitely not have enough to eat.

　　The child is growing up, so it is not good to be hungry all the time. Logically speaking, it is okay for her as a grandmother to give the child two pieces of cake to eat every day. She does not need to collect money from them, but to think of the second daughter-in-law making money from these girls and not giving them enough to eat.

She wanted to teach the second daughter-in-law a lesson, so she nodded and agreed: “Okay, I’ll give you and Taohua two pieces of cake each day from now on.” As for the money, she would collect it for them, and make some clothes for the two children later, and save them for dowry. According to their mother’s character, she is not expected to be able to prepare dowry for the two children.

　　Hearing that one person can eat two pieces of cake, Hehua and Taohua were very happy, but Hehua thought that she would have no money to give to her mother when she went back later. Her mother would definitely ask, and she would be angry if she knew that she used the money to buy cakes.

So she said: “grandma, if my mother asks, can you please don’t tell me about the cake we bought? Otherwise, my mother will beat me to death.”

Of course the old lady Han knew this, so she said: “Don’t worry, you can go back Just say that the grandma is not willing to pay you. If your mother has any objections, let your mother tell me.”

　　Hehua felt relieved when the old lady said this. Grandma is so powerful, and her mother is also afraid of the grandma.

　　When Han’s second daughter-in-law asked Hehua for money, Hehua told her mother exactly what Mrs. Han said. After she finished speaking, Han’s second daughter-in-law’s face suddenly froze and she asked in disbelief: “After you work so hard, she won’t even give you money for it?”

　　He Hua nodded.

　　Han Lao’s second daughter-in-law’s face turned dark and her heart was twitching. Could it be that the old lady was angry because of what happened today, so she was unwilling to pay Hehua in the future? And let hehua work for free from now on?

　　How can that work! How could the old lady do this!

　　Han Lao Er’s wife was angry, but she couldn’t go straight to the old lady to argue with him. She told Han Lao Er about the matter when she was sleeping with him at night: “Your mother didn’t even pay Hehua today, and she said she wouldn’t pay her in the future , Let Hehua work for her for nothing.”

　　Han Laoer was stunned for a moment, and then said after a long silence: “If she doesn’t give it, then it’s okay. Hehua will only help my mother burn the fire for half a day, so we treat it as our filial piety to her.”

　　Unexpectedly, he said this. Han Lao Er’s daughter-in-law was so angry that she twisted his arm, “Why did you say it so lightly? don’t want the fifty cents. Is our family very rich?”

　　Han Lao Er was squeezed by her and hissed. He cried out in pain and pulled his hand away, “What are you doing! Do you still want me to ask my mother for wages? Isn’t it okay for my mother to be a grandmother and ask her granddaughter to help burn the fire? We won’t let Hehua help mother work because of money? Then when you ask Hehua to work in the future, will you also have to pay wages?”

　　”Hehua is my daughter, and it is only natural that she works for me!” Han Lao’s second daughter-in-law subconsciously said refute.

　　Han Laoer: “Then my mother is Hehua’s grandma. If grandma asks her granddaughter to work, will she have to pay her wages?”

　　Han Laoer’s daughter-in-law was choked by what he said. She choked in her chest and I knew it was useless to tell him, so she turned around and ignored him.

　　Han Laoer ignored her and fell asleep soon, snoring.

　　Seeing that he didn’t take it to heart at all, he actually fell asleep so quickly. Han Lao’s second wife was so sick that she couldn’t fall asleep all night, thinking about what to do about this matter.

　　When Hehua went to light the fire for Mrs. Han the next day, Han’s second daughter-in-law thought about it again and again, but she still couldn’t bear the 50 cents a day wages, so she followed Hehua to the kitchen and asked with a smile: “Mom, why don’t you give Hehua wages? Didn’t you agree to give her 50 cents a day?”

Old Mrs. Han didn’t even look at her, and asked with a sullen face: “I didn’t even ask you to support me in my old age, so why not? My granddaughter wants to help me make a fire, does she still needs to be paid? Why, can’t I use my granddaughter if I don’t pay her ?”

　　Han’s second daughter-in-law smiled coquettishly, rubbed her hands, and whispered: “Mom , Hehua is considered a big child, and she is a laborer after all. Our family of five now relies on her father and me to work to support the family, and it is very difficult. Well, if she doesn’t go to work, how can we live our lives?

　　Mrs. Han threw the rag in her hand and said, “Hehua is not even ten years old yet. How many work points can she earn as a half-year-old child? ” You two have the nerve to expect hehua to work and earn work points? If you expect Hehua to earn work points, then go ahead. I won’t ask Hehua to work for me in the future, but if you have any problems in the future, don’t come to me and solve your own problems! “

　　Han’s second daughter-in-law was very annoyed, but she didn’t dare to stop Hehua from working for the old lady. If the old lady really didn’t care about them in the future, what would she do if something happened? If nothing else, just that if she had another child in the future, she would still expect the old lady to serve her during the confinement period. If the old lady was not willing to serve her during the confinement period, she would not be able to survive it alone.

　　Thinking of this, Han’s second daughter-in-law couldn’t help but feel aggrieved. She didn’t dare to say anything more, so she had to hold her breath and leave.

　　Hehua looked at Old Mrs. Han with admiration in her eyes.

　　But Old Mrs. Han felt tired. She wanted peace when she separated, but ended up splitting up. After that, it was not as quiet as before. After the separation, each had their own selfish motives. The wives began to care about each other one by one, and they even tried their best to get some advantages from the old woman.

　　Compare the second child and the third child’s Daughter-in-law, Mrs. Han felt that Su Yue was better. She should marry her back as soon as possible and make her her eldest daughter-in-law, so that she could feel comfortable.

　　Just when the old lady was thinking about how to marry Su Yue back quickly, Maomao from the third family suddenly rushed in and shouted: “Grandma, someone is looking for my eldest uncle outside. “

　　”Who?” Mrs. Han looked outside the door, but saw no one.

　　Han Aiguo walked out and saw a postman in a green uniform riding a bicycle.

　　The postman saw him coming out and asked, “Is it Comrade Han Aiguo?”

　　Han Aiguo nodded, “I am. “

　　” There is your letter ” The postman took out an envelope and handed it to Han Aiguo.

　　Han Aiguo thanked him and looked down at the envelope. When he saw the name on the envelope, he knew it and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

　　Mrs. Han also walked out at this moment and looked at Han Aiguo held an envelope in his hand and asked curiously: “Who sent it to you? “

　　”A comrade. ” Han Aiguo didn’t hide it from the old lady. He opened the envelope and took out a bicycle coupon.

　　Old lady Han was surprised, “Where did you get the bicycle coupon?”

　　”I got it from my comrades. Yueyue wants to buy a bicycle but doesn’t have a ticket. “

　　After hearing this, Mrs. Han wiped her hands, carefully took the ticket and looked at it again and again, her eyes full of joy, “Okay, okay, I didn’t expect you to come with the bicycle ticket. This is a good thing. I originally planned to tell you this, but unexpectedly you were a step ahead. “

　　Han Aiguo looked at his mother in confusion.

　　Mrs. Han gave him the ticket, then pulled him into the room, took out one hundred and fifty yuan from the box where she kept the money and handed it to him, “I originally thought You and Yueyue would get married, But our family can’t afford to buy a three-turn ring, so we have to buy something big for Yueyue. I originally planned to buy either a bicycle or a sewing machine. Now that you have asked for a bicycle ticket, then we will buy a bicycle, this money is for buying it , you take Yueyue to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy one. “

　　Han Aiguo pushed the money back, “Mom, I don’t want this money. I have some in my hand. This comrade of mine had borrowed some money from me before, and this time he returned it all to me. I will use this money to take Yueyue to buy things.”

            Hearing this, Mrs. Han still gave him the money, “Then you can use this money to buy a watch for Yueyue. A watch is practical and can be used in daily life. We can’t treat such a good girl like Yueyue badly. “

　　Han Aiguo thought for a while and took the money. In fact, he originally planned to buy a watch for Su Yue.

　　After dinner, Han Aiguo went to the educated youth spot again. When they saw him coming, Li Xiaoqing and Wu Xiaoxiao took the initiative consciously and dedicated the room to let the two people talk alone.

　　Su Yue took the initiative to hug his waist and asked him with a smile: “Comrade Han Aiguo, why are you here? Do you miss me? “

　　Han Aiguo pinched her nose and silently took out the bicycle ticket from his pocket.

　　”Ah! Bicycle ticket!” Su Yue was pleasantly surprised. She took the ticket and looked left and right, “Is this a bicycle ticket?Can I buy a bicycle now ?”

　　Seeing her so happy, Han Aiguo was also very happy. He rubbed her hair and his eyes were very soft, “You take a day off tomorrow and let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy bicycle together. “

　　”Yeah. “Su Yue nodded hurriedly, her mood at this moment extremely high.

　　Oh my god, is she going to become a person with a luxury bicycle? Will she no longer have to use the No. 11 bus for travel in the future!! Hahaha !!

Han Aiguo saw her enjoying herself for a long time, Han Aiguo pursed his lips, cleared his throat, and said in a tight voice: “Yue’er, let’s get married. ”

　　Su Yue was caught off guard by what he said and was a little unable to react.

　　Seeing her stunned, Han Aiguo’s back tensed up and his heart was beating wildly, even though he had drafted it in his mind countless times before coming here, and secretly rehearsed it many times in his mind, but he was still extremely nervous when he actually stood in front of her and spoke. He didn’t even feel this nervous when sniping at the enemy.

　　He was afraid that she would not want to marry him.

　     Feeling nervous, Han Aiguo said again: “Yue’r, please marry me, I want to live with you every day and I will take care of you for the rest of my life.”

　　Is this…a proposal? Is this the legendary proposal scene? Su Yue blinked her eyes, and her heartbeat gradually became faster.

　　This was the first time in her two lives that she had been proposed to! She had never seen this scene before. She had never thought of it.

          Although there were no diamond rings, flowers, kneeling, and no gorgeous sweet words, his simple words still touched her. She could feel the sincerity in his tone. He was making a promise and he was making a serious promise to her.

　　Han Aiguo took Su Yue’s hand, wrapped the fair and slender hand in his big palm, and looked at her seriously, “Yue’er, my legs will recover soon. I have reported the condition of my legs to the army. According to the situation, the army asked me to go back as soon as possible after my leg injury recovers. Once I return to the army, I may not be able to come back once a year. I can’t let you go, and I can’t bear to leave you here alone. “

　　Having said this, Han Aiguo pursed his lips and said, “Yue’er, I want to marry you before returning to the army, and then take you to the army with me. With my conditions I  can apply for family members house. Will you go with me? “

　　In fact, Su Yue has never hesitated about marrying Han Aiguo. She came to this time and space just for Han Aiguo. The meaning of her being here is him and most importantly, she also likes him very much. She liked this man very much and was willing to marry him.

　　Therefore, although it was beyond her expectation when facing his proposal, how could she refuse.

　　”I do~” Su Yue twisted her body and gave her answer.

　　Hearing this, the big stone that Han Aiguo had in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. Regardless of the sweat on his back, he hugged Su Yue in ecstasy and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to embed her into his chest.

　　It was rare to see him so excited, and Su Yue’s heart suddenly burst with sweetness. Thinking of marrying this man, she didn’t feel the slightest bit uneasy. She believed that marrying him would not hurt her at all.

　　Han Aiguo immediately said impatiently: “Yue’er, then I’ll go back and let my mother choose a good day.”

　　Su Yue nodded a shyly.

　　”Then…do you want to write a letter to your parents to inform them?”  Han Aiguo asked a little uncertainly. Since he met Su Yue, he had never heard her mention anything about her family, but for such a big thing as a marriage, she couldn’t let her family not know about it.

　　Su Yue shook her head, “No, my family is far away, I can just decide this matter myself. “

　　Seeing her say this, Han Aiguo vaguely understood the relationship between Su Yue and her family. He didn’t talk about this topic anymore.
Instead, he took out all the money in his pocket and gave it to her. There were several large sheets and a thick one; there are three or four hundred dollars, “Take it.

　　Su Yue was startled, “Why did you give me so much money? Where did you get so much money from? “

　　My own plus my mother gave me. Let’s buy a bicycle and a watch  tomorrow as a betrothal gift.”
Han Aiguo put the money into Su Yue’s hand, “I can only buy these two things for you for now. When we go to the army, I will ask someone to get a sewing ticket and save money to buy you a sewing machine.”

　　The most advanced configuration for marriage at this time is three things and one ring. Han Aiguo wanted to buy all of them for Su Yue, but conditions did not allow him to do, so he could only wrong her first and think about buying them for her later.

　　Although she was very happy that he thought about her, but Su Yue still shook her head, “I have money myself, I can buy a bicycle by myself, you can take the money back and give it to aunt, you still need to treat your leg “

　　Han Aiguo rubbed her soft long hair and said, “The money for treating the leg is enough. This is a gift for you. You can’t refuse it.”  Silly girl, other girls want as many things as possible when they get married, but this girl doesn’t want anything and wants to buy her own bicycle. Why is she so stupid?

　　Su Yue thought about it, after getting married, she can treat his legs, it’s okay to keep the money now, and there is no need for the two of them to be polite about these external possessions.

　　After thinking about it, Su Yue stuffed the money into her trousers, put her legs together and gave him a military salute, revealing a playful and bright smile, “Okay then, I will accept the gift from Comrade Han Aiguo! “

　　Hearing what she said, Han Aiguo was happier than anyone else. He gave full play to the good qualities of an excellent soldier and pursued victory, and immediately said: “Now that the betrothal gift has been accepted, you are my wife. Don’t regret it! Let’s set aside a day to register. “

   Su Yue squinted her eyes and looked at him, “Okay, Comrade Han Aiguo, so you make sure not to do something that will make me regret later.”

　　Han Aiguo chuckled, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, suppressing the turbulence in his heart and said: “I will go back now and let mother choose a date for us to get married. “

　　After saying that, he turned around and left, and in the blink of an eye he was gone. Su Yue had never seen him walking so fast.
