Reborn 1980: Cannon fodder mother changes her life against fate

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, neighbors visit each other to pay New Year greetings. Every household will put out prepared snacks to entertain guests.However, there are not many types of snacks these days, and the overall economic level of society is backward. Except for peanuts and melon seeds, "foreign goods" such as candies and biscuits are rare.

Therefore, everyone, including young people, likes to go to Song Mingze’s house, for no other reason than because the Song family is so generous. There are not only sesame crackers on the table, but also precious White Rabbit toffee!

Grandma Song was distressed that the number of New Year's goods on the table was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she was also happy that she was so popular that as soon as a group of people left, the next group immediately followed.

"Eh~"

"Grandma, don't sigh during the Chinese New Year, otherwise you will sigh away all your blessings."

Lu Chuyao, who has been a materialist all his life, occasionally becomes superstitious on special holidays.

Old Mrs. Song picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea, and said, "Look at what's on the floor and on the table. These people only pick out toffees and biscuits, and they are not polite at all."

There were only a few scattered peanuts and melon seeds left on the table. Lu Chuyao was about to add more, but was pulled back by his grandma who hurriedly got up. "It's almost noon. What else can I get? No one will come over to pay New Year's greetings at this time."

After saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The famous widower and his son from Xiangyang Brigade came.

The old lady's face fell instantly, but she had to smile when someone walked into the main room. The two-level reversal made Lu Chuyao almost lose his power.

She quickly turned her back and managed her expression, then refilled her plate with New Year snacks.

Song Mingze was not familiar with the widower and his son. After a simple greeting, he found that he had nothing to talk about, and then the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Fortunately, the widower didn't plan to stay long. He said a few auspicious words to the old lady and Song Zhiyu, and then took his son to Aunt Hua's house next door.

Song Mingze had no uncles or aunts, only a cousin who was the captain of the brigade, so on the day of visiting relatives on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the couple carried Zaizai and went to his cousin's house first.

The uncle insisted on letting them stay at home for dinner, but Lu Chuyao was a little reluctant when he saw the densely packed family standing in the main room.

She secretly tugged on her husband's sleeve, but kept a smile on her face.

"Uncle, aunt, we are not eating here. We have to go to Chuyao's parents' house later."

"...Okay, you're a busy man, so I won't keep you here. Our family will have a New Year's dinner in two days, so don't shirk it anymore."

"sure."

Li Miaohua got up early in the morning to clean the house and make chicken soup. When her daughter returned to her parents' home on the second day of junior high school, she had to clean the house and make it comfortable for her to live in.

When Lu Chuyao arrived home, there were only two elderly people left in the house. Her brother, sister-in-law, and nephew had all gone to visit relatives. For a time, the noisy noise of her nephew was missing, and the yard became very deserted.

"Xiao Yu, come here quickly, grandpa." Lu Jianguo carried out the children's wooden carriage like a treasure.

Song Zhiyu really liked it, and ran towards his grandfather with his two short legs.

Song Mingze was afraid that his son would fall, so he hunched his huge body to protect him.

The mount was wiped and polished until it was smooth and slippery. It didn't sting at all. The little guy was so happy to sit on it, as if he had found a treasure.

Lu Chuyao teased him, "The wooden horse is too heavy, why not just leave it at my grandparents' house and wait for you to come and play with it?"

Song Zhiyu didn't understand what his mother was saying at first, but after his father's vivid explanation and demonstration, he understood.

The little head shook like a wave drum, "No, no, no, let's go."

The translation of baby talk is: No, it must be taken away!bring home!

In the afternoon, Lu Haoyang's family of three came back from his father-in-law's place. When they stepped into the courtyard, Lu Zigui saw his aunt and uncle standing under the eaves chatting with his grandparents.

He happily trotted up to the two of them, bowed and said in a loud voice, "Happy New Year to my aunt and uncle. I wish my aunt will get younger and younger, and my uncle's career will improve step by step!"

After shouting blessings, Lu Zigui put his hands together and spread them forward, indicating that it was time to give a red envelope.

Lu Chuyao couldn't help but smile at his nephew's cleverness. He took out the red envelope he had prepared long ago from the deep pocket of her husband's coat and handed it to the little guy, "Happy New Year. Auntie wishes you a safe, smooth and healthy growth in the new year!" "

When her son asked for the red envelope, Yao Minghui rushed into the room and took out the red envelope that was pressed under the pillow.

There are many nephews and nieces in the natal family, and the brothers from several houses together have a total of six children.And she is an only child, so every year she suffers a lot in terms of human relations and sophistication.

This year she learned a lesson and reduced the package amount for each child by [-] cents.

But she didn't dare to go short on her sister-in-law. Not only could she not reduce it, her husband Lu Haoyang also decided to add an extra two yuan.

Yao Minghui has no dissatisfaction with her husband's favoritism.Who told my sister-in-law to marry a good man and a strong husband’s family?

Moreover, Lu Chuyao was really kind to her parents' family. During the holidays, she would bring home gifts in large and small packages, and she would also pay "filial piety" fees to her parents-in-law in private.

Putting back her wandering thoughts, Yao Minghui walked out of the room holding the red envelope.

"Little sister, brother-in-law, this is the New Year's red envelope that your brother and I give to Xiao Yu."

Song Zhiyu, a little dumpling boy, was attracted by the red envelope. He threw his upper body forward and grabbed the red envelope into his hand like lightning.

The whole family was shocked by his quick and precise strength. Lu Haoyang blinked his eyes and applauded, "As expected of my nephew, he is very responsive."

Yao Minghui laughed loudly, "Xiao Yu also knows that this means a prosperous new year. How smart!"

While the juniors were all there, Lu Jianguo secretly glanced at his old wife.Li Miaohua accepted it tacitly, and after a while, she appeared with several red envelopes in her hands.

"In our family, sons and daughters are treated equally, as are our two grandsons. Everyone gets red envelopes."

Lu Chuyao was the first to accept it, showing a sweet smile, and said delicately: "Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

Lu Haoyang followed closely behind, and his junior sister took the red envelope and then passed it to his wife.Yao Minghui expressed that she was very satisfied with her husband's actions and thanked her parents-in-law with a smile.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Jianguo asked his two children to follow Li Miaohua to her grandmother's house.

"You all have bicycles, so it's convenient to go back and forth. It just so happens that everyone is here during the Chinese New Year. Let's go see your grandma."

The Lu family has two [-]-inch sedans. The old one belongs to Lu's father. It is four or five years old, but it can still be ridden.

Song Mingze took the initiative to grab the old bicycle and said, "I'll take Chu Yao on this one. Sister-in-law, you can take me to ride our family's bike."

As for the mother-in-law, it would be better for her son to carry the car herself.

The seven people set off to Lu Chuyao's grandmother's house, leaving Lu's father alone to guard the house.

Grandma Lu Chuyao's house belongs to the production brigade next door, across a mountain from Xiangyang brigade. If you just walk, you will probably have to stay there overnight.

Fortunately, there is transportation, and we can reach our destination in four or ten minutes along the winding road.
