Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

The next night, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Han family, the visitor turned out to be Feng Junwei.

Feng Junwei had chapped lips, dark circles under his eyes, and looked tired, as if he hadn’t rested for a long time. As soon as he saw Su Yue, he solemnly apologized to her: “Brother and sister, what happened this time is all because of my wife’s fault. It’s all her fault. You have suffered so much. I solemnly apologize to you on behalf of her.”

As he said that, he backed away. Taking a step forward, he bowed solemnly to Su Yue.

“Captain Feng, you…” Su Yue didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Feng Junwei didn’t ask Su Yue to say anything. After he straightened up, he turned his gaze to Han Aiguo aside and said in a deep voice: “Aiguo, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you.”

Han Aiguo didn’t ask anything, nodded and followed him.

The two of them walked until they reached a deserted corner. Feng Junwei stopped and turned to look at Han Aiguo. His eyes were heavy and his voice was suppressed with anger. “Aiguo, we have worked together for so many years, and I have always regarded you as a brother , but you did this to me?! I knew that what happened this time was my wife’s fault. After I found out, I was so angry that I wanted to divorce her. I was still at home and planned to bring her over to apologize to sister-in-law, but I didn’t have time yet. She was taken away for investigation, Only then did I know what you did!”

Feng Junwei clenched his fists tightly and hissed: “If you have something wrong, you can’t tell me properly. No matter how much compensation you ask for, I will I will definitely give you and sister-in-law a satisfactory explanation, even if you ask my wife to kneel down and kowtow. But you don’t even give us a chance to apologize. Are you going to take revenge on us like this without even saying a word to me? Do you still think of me as a brother?”

Han Aiguo listened quietly to what he said before he said firmly: “Then when your wife was plotting against my wife, did you ever think about telling us? Have you ever thought that we are brothers? Did your wife’s uncle ever think about our friendship when he was violent to my wife? If Zhu Zhu hadn’t come all the way to find me this time, my wife might have been forced to confess her crime by now.  Did you think of the consequences?”

Feng Junwei paused, panting in embarrassment. After a while, he rubbed his face fiercely and growled: “I know that my wife went too far this time, but her uncle has already been revoked from his position, or even expelled from the military, his life is over. Isn’t this punishment severe enough? Why do you have to retaliate against my wife like this? Can’t you just let go for my sake?”

In Han Aiguo’s tone there was no change at all, “In my opinion, this is the punishment your wife deserves. Besides, I did not accuse her falsely. The evidence is all facts.”

Fang Xiaoli did do things that were resold at high prices. Feng Junwei also knew that he usually just turned a blind eye. Now that he was told , he had nothing to refute, he could only point his finger at him and said after a while: “Okay, great! Han Aiguo, you are so cruel, from now on we brothers don’t have anything to do with each other!”

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Han Aiguo glanced at the direction he was leaving, turned around and left without expression, and did not mention the matter to Su Yue after returning home.

Until two days have passed, Su Yue learned from Xu Can what Han Aiguo had done.

On this day, Xu Can came back from the hospital with her child, and Su Yue took Dabao and Xiaobao to see her and the child.

Dabao and Xiaobao have never seen a child smaller than themselves. They are very curious about babies. When Su Yue said that Aunt Xu Can’s baby brother was born, they wanted to take them to see him. Xiaobao just kept throwing his short legs excitedly, running faster than Su Yue. Even if he fell and rolled in the snow, he didn’t feel the pain, he got up and continued running.

When they arrived at Xu Can’s house, the two children couldn’t wait to go to the bedside to see their little brother. As a result, the two little ones’ eyes widened and their mouths opened in a daze, their expressions a bit difficult to describe.

Xiaobao is an upright child. After being shocked, he immediately showed a disappointed look, pouted and said to Su Yue: “Mom, little brother is so ugly.”

Dabao didn’t say anything, but nodded in agreement and lost interest in looking at his brother , sighed, turned around, walked to Su Yue and sat down.

Su Yue didn’t expect these two boys to be so disrespectful to their little brother. She slapped at their buttocks and said, “What are you two talking about? Why is your brother so ugly? You were not as good-looking as your brother when you were born.”

Hearing this, Xiaobao’s eyes widened again, refusing to believe what he said. He waved his hands to clarify himself and said, “Mom, I’m good-looking! I’m good-looking, so I can’t be ugly.”

Xu Can was lying on the bed, burst out laughing after hearing the words, and said to Su Yue: “Why are you beating them? The boy I gave birth to is indeed very ugly. As a mother, I am too embarrassed to talk to him. He is just like a little monkey, I almost cried when I saw it for the first time after it was born. I almost wondered if it was me.”

Su Yue patted her gently, “What nonsense are you talking about? Isn’t it like this? Dabao and Xiaobao were also wrinkled at that time, just like little monkeys. After a while, they became fat and white. My Dabao and Xiaobao were fatter when they were born. Yours will be fatter than them in the future. It will get good looks in two years.”

Xu Can laughed, “I’ll wait and see if he can look better. If he is still so ugly, I’ll cry again.”

After the two of them talked and laughed, Xu Can lamented what happened that day, “I only found out later when I heard what my husband said, why was it such a coincidence that day? If I had been fine that day, I wouldn’t have let you suffer there for two days.”

Su Yue twitched her lips, “Maybe it’s not a coincidence at all. I guess Fang Xiaoli chose the time deliberately. It happened that Han Aiguo was not at home, and then you happened to have given birth. No one could save me if I was caught.”

Xu Can also felt like this , suddenly recalled what happened that day, ” My stomach pained in the morning. My family, Lao Yu, carried me to the hospital in a hurry. Many people in the courtyard saw it. Fang Xiaoli might also have seen me when she was waiting for the shuttle bus at the door, knew I was going to give birth, so she picked that time.”

She frowned, “Why is Fang Xiaoli so evil-minded? It’s normal for women to be noisy, so why do you want to stab her in the back like this? To say she is vicious is not an exaggeration. But now she has received her retribution. She has lost her job and her man has also recorded a demerit. Let’s see if she dares to do it again in the future. ”

“What? Su Yue was stunned when she heard this, “Fang Xiaoli’s uncle took all the responsibility. Isn’t she fine? How could she lose her job? ”

Xu Can looked at her in surprise, “You don’t know yet?” ”

Su Yue shook her head, “Tell me what’s going on. ”

Fang Xiaoli took advantage of her position in the supply and marketing cooperative to often take scarce items and sell them to others at high prices. This matter was reported to the army, and the army investigated her. Because there was sufficient evidence, she could not deny it. It was appropriate and she was convicted of illegal business.

Su Yue’s eyes widened when she heard this.

Xu Can continued, “Originally, if she did such a thing, it wouldn’t be serious if she was sent to a labor camp. But her father is Mr. Lin after all, and their family still has a certain influence. After pleading for her in many ways, she was not sent to a labor camp in the end, but she lost her job at the supply and marketing cooperative. Even her husband, Feng Junwei, was penalized by the army because of this incident. It may have some impact on his future promotion.”

Su Yue blinked and suddenly remembered that night when Feng Junwei came to apologize and then asked Han Aiguo to go out to talk with a bad expression. At that time, she felt something was wrong. Later, she asked Han Aiguo and he didn’t say anything. Could it be because of this? What happened?

Seeing that Su Yue didn’t know anything, Xu Can told the inside story in detail: “The person who reported the report should be your Han Aiguo. I don’t know what he did. The evidence and witnesses have been found, which makes Fang Xiaoli want to blame but can’t rely on it, she made such a big mistake this time. ”

“He didn’t even tell me. “After a while, Su Yue said nonchalantly.

“The results have just come out. He probably wants to wait until the results of the disposal come out before telling you. After all, Fang Xiaoli’s family has some power. If they work for her and she has nothing to do, then he told you will all go in vain. ”

Su Yue also knows that this is the reason. Han Aiguo is such a person. He will only say something out after it is really done. He will not say it casually when he is not completely sure or has no results.

She was just surprised that he did such a big thing behind her back. She had never seen such an aggressive side of him. She thought he had put the matter down this time, but she didn’t expect that he would always be there. He was holding it back in his heart and took revenge on others.

In the evening, Han Aiguo came back from the army. Su Yue asked him about it while bathing and feeding him.

Han Aiguo gave a low “hmm” and admitted the matter.

“Then last time Battalion Commander Feng came to talk to you, you two were talking about this, right? ”

Han Aiguo nodded lightly, without any emotional fluctuations.

Su Yue held his face and looked at him steadily, “Then tell me the truth, did you two have a falling out because of this matter? ”

Han Aiguo paused and said “Yeah” again.

Su Yue sighed, “Then what do you think? After all, you and Battalion Commander Feng have been colleagues for many years, and have been together through thick and thin. I know you are angry that I endured hardship this time, and you want Fang Xiaoli to learn a lesson, but you have the handle on Fang Xiaoli, so you can talk to Fang Xiaoli. Ah, why did you just report it directly? Battalion Commander Feng will definitely be unhappy, and you two brothers probably won’t be able to do it either. ”

Han Aiguo  said: “It’s a pity that we can’t be brothers , but you are the most important person in my heart. She also didn’t take into account the friendship between Feng Junwei and me when she reported you. What’s the use if I go to her with evidence? It’s just an apology from her that I don’t know whether it’s sincere or fake. In my opinion, it’s not enough to make up for the harm you suffered.”

Su Yue was stunned, and after a long time she was so moved that she couldn’t help but rush up and hug him around the neck. She hugged him tightly and murmured coquettishly: “Why are you so good, Comrade Han Aiguo?”

Han Aiguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, simply reached out to take off her clothes, and pulled her into the tub, “Then It’s so good, please repay me. Don’t they say that a great kindness is given to someone with your body?”

Su Yue: ………

This night, the two of them stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour longer than usual. Two little guy were so anxious that they wanted to rush in to find their mother several times, but was stopped by the smiling old lady Han.

————

The next day, Su Yue was busy in the kitchen. Xiaobao and Dabao ran back from outside hand in hand. Xiaobao ran to the kitchen door, pointed outside excitedly and said to Su Yue: “Mom, there are so many people.”

“Why are there so many people?” Su Yue asked while rolling rice. She was making sushi. The two children can eat anything now, and their eyes light up when they see delicious food. In this era of poor material conditions, She also wanted to let them eat as well as possible, so she would make fresh snacks for them from time to time. Today, the rice happened to be cooked too much, so she just made sushi for them to try.

When Xiaobao looked up, he happened to see the sushi made by Su Yue. The white rice was rolled with red and green fruits, and there was ginger on top. It looked so delicious that he immediately forgot about what he was about to say “Gudong” swallowed his saliva, bit his chubby finger and asked in a sweet voice, “Mom, what are you doing?”

Su Yue couldn’t laugh or cry when she saw his greedy face. This child, seeing how delicious it is, He couldn’t walk anymore. He was a real foodie. No wonder he could eat so much when she was pregnant with them. She couldn’t eat enough at that time, just because he was a foodie.

She shook her head in amusement, took two pieces of sushi, and stuffed one into his mouth.

Xiaobao’s eyes lit up, and he chewed like a little frog. While eating, he did not forget to flatter his mother, “Mom, it’s delicious, you are great!”

Dabao also liked to eat, nodding silently, acknowledging his brother’s words.

Su Yue wiped the corners of their mouths and turned to ask Dabao: “What did your brother just say to  mother?”

Dabao always had a larger vocabulary than Xiaobao and spoke much more clearly, so he said to Su Yue: “Move things.”

Move thing? Su Yue was stunned, put down the food in her hands, walked to the door to take a look, and found that many people were coming in and out next door, moving or carrying furniture downstairs.

What are you doing?

Although she was confused, Su Yue didn’t go up to ask. After all, the two families were at enemies and wouldn’t say hello even if they met. There was no point in asking.

But in the afternoon, Mrs. Sun came to visit and told her what she had learned. It turned out that the fang family changed house and moved to a building further away.

Su Yue was stunned for a moment, and then she felt that Not bad, probably because Fang Xiaoli didn’t want to live with their family anymore, so she wanted to move to another house, but it was better this way, as it would save the enemies of the two families from being extremely jealous when they met, and then there would be another quarrel.

She just hopes that the new family who moves next door can be more normal in the future, and the two families can get along well in the future. She really doesn’t like the lifestyle of causing trouble and intrigue with her neighbors.

————

The Feng family moved away, leaving the next door empty, but no new people came to live in it for a long time, so it was just empty for the time being.

Time passed in May, and the weather gradually became hotter. Su Yue received a letter from Han Aimin, saying that he was about to graduate and would come over to see his two nephews after the school holidays.

Su Yue then remembered that Han Aimin was already in the third year of junior high school this year, and was about to graduate from junior high school, and would go to high school when school started again.

Thinking about the college entrance examination that was about to resume, Su Yue patted her forehead, secretly blaming herself for being so confused that she had forgotten such an important thing.

After waiting for Han Aiguo to come back in the evening, she told him her idea of bringing Han Aimin to study in the provincial capital.

Han Aiguo was stunned, “Why do you want  to take aimin over to study in high school?”

“My mother and I are here, and the fourth child is only a half a adult. There is no one to take care of him in his hometown. Although the second and third children are there, How can they take good care of the fourth child when they have a lot of children? The fourth child is here. Although it is far from the city to us, at least he can often come and stay with us for a day or two and eat some delicious food. Besides, Although my mother didn’t say it, she was thinking about the fourth child very much in her heart. If the fourth child comes, she will definitely be happy.”

Han Aiguo began to think deeply.

The fourth child is the youngest of their four brothers, and the one their mother is most worried about. He, as an older brother, is a little worried about leaving the fourth child in his hometown, but his original plan was to wait until the fourth child graduates from junior high school. Ask him what he thinks. If he wants to join the army, then he will get him to join the army here.

Now Su Yue suddenly said that the fourth child should come here to study in high school. He was a little unprepared because he was not sure whether the fourth child would want to continue studying. After all, the current schools did not teach much knowledge. Even if he went to high school, he would not be able to go to college. in the end, they have to go back to their hometowns to work. There is no point in studying. Rural children rarely go to high school.

He couldn’t help but ask: “The fourth child wants to go to high school?”

Su Yue knew that few people go to high school these days, especially rural children. It would be good if they could finish junior high school, but they would also be dawdling in high school, so Han Aiguo had this question. Normal, after all, he didn’t know that the country would resume the college entrance examination soon.

After thinking about it, she said: “Although high schools do not teach formal knowledge now, you can learn it by yourself. It is better to be in school than at home. Children still have to work hard to learn knowledge, because I believe that the country will not always be this way and If college exam continues, all walks of life will need talents to promote development. Where will the talents come from without learning? Therefore, I believe that it will not be long before the country will resume the college entrance examination. By then, if you want to enter university, you will not rely on recommendations to go to the Workers’, Peasants and Soldiers University, but You have to rely on your true talents to get into college.”

Han Aiguo looked at her in surprise, shocked by what she said.

Su Yue poked his nose gently, “Comrade Han Aiguo, if you believe me, the country will definitely resume the college entrance examination. Before it resumes, all we can do is prepare well. Aimin’s grades are good, and he has always studied hard by himself, when he goes to high school, he will definitely be able to pass the university entrance examination. By then, his status will be different, so I want him to come to the provincial capital here to go to school and learn knowledge.”

Han Aiguo wanted to ask. How did she know that the college entrance examination would definitely be resumed? After all, there are no signs or rumors at all. No one would make such an inference. But he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips. For some reason, he believed everything that came out of her mouth from the bottom of his heart and felt that it would definitely come true.

At this moment when she said that the college entrance examination would be resumed, he suddenly believed it in his heart, even though it was very unbelievable.

As for why, if she didn’t say it, he wouldn’t ask.

“Okay, I will arrange this and let the fourth child come to school.” Han Aiguo said.

Su Yue smiled, rolled her eyes, hugged his neck and twisted, and said coquettishly: “Comrade Han Aiguo, let me tell you something again~”
