On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the eldest aunt came back from her mother's house, she asked her grandmother to go to the second grandfather's house to talk to the matchmaker. It turned out that her maiden cousin, who was a soldier with her uncle Aijun, came back a year ago to visit relatives and get married, because the woman wanted to "turn three times and one ring", and the marriage was yellow.

Her cousin is an orphan who grew up in her aunt's house, just like her own children. The country takes care of orphans and gives priority to joining the army, but in the army, the second uncle takes care of him a lot, and now he is a company commander.

Originally, the family affair was proposed by the woman's family, and she said that she would get married when she came back this time. Who knew that the nephew of the eldest aunt had more eyes, and when he went home, he did not wear his four-pocket officer's uniform, but wore a two-pocket warrior's uniform.

The woman originally felt that there was a second uncle in the army, so she had to be a half-official and a half-job, so she could go with the army, so as to get out of the farm, who knew that she was still a big soldier. So he put forward the condition that he would not get married without "three turns and one ring".

These things are not something that can be bought with money, so the marriage was delayed, and the woman did not send the things when she saw the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, so she returned the engaged things and proposed to withdraw from the marriage.

The aunt's cousin didn't listen to the persuasion, took the things, and the two went their separate ways. My aunt has been busy selling medicines, and I didn't care about going back to my parents' house a year ago, so I didn't know about it. When I returned to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, I heard about it, and I thought of Guijin.

The nephew is an orphan, Guijin is herself, and her father is a national honored soldier, so it will also be a help to the nephew in the future.

The key is that Guijin himself is also promising, with good natural conditions, he is still a high school student, and he is also a cadre in the team.

The aunt's family also felt that the two of them were suitable, so they let the aunt worry. Because grandma has a good relationship with the second grandfather's family, he asked grandma to come forward.

Grandma went to the second grandfather's house, and the second grandfather's family was bustling with excitement because Guihua had a son, and they were preparing to give a gift of "porridge rice" (the mother's family gave a gift to the daughter who gave birth to a child).

The custom here is that after giving birth to a son for five days, the mother's family sends "porridge rice", and the grandmother uses a small quilt to cover the baby when she enters the door, so as to prevent the child from getting "seven winds" (tetanus).

Medical conditions in rural areas are now poor and infant mortality rates are high. Especially the "Seven Winds", the child basically can't be saved, the child is sick and has convulsions, as if he is shivering by the cool breeze, and he has not lived for seven days, so everyone calls it the "Seven Winds".

In fact, the "seven winds" are common sepsis, and rural women give birth to children at home, and only difficult births are sent to the hospital. I was looking for an experienced midwife nearby, and the hygienic conditions can be imagined.

Therefore, the chance of the child being infected with tetanus is high, resulting in a high infant mortality rate, which is also the reason why Han Daowei's mother said that half of the child was accepted. Now that I have a baby and get a tetanus shot, I basically have no problem.

However, the custom of sending "porridge rice" to the mother's family for five days has been retained, and another reason is that the mother's family loves her daughter, so she will send her some delicious food in advance to supplement her nutrition.

Because of the New Year's Festival, the second parent's family discussed it, and they will send "porridge rice" in nine days. Osmanthus was treated by her mother-in-law, and she gave birth to a boy, and the second grandmother's family did not care about her being wronged.

And when the osmanthus son-in-law sent the good news, he asked him to bring back a hundred eggs, ten catties of white flour, and two catties of brown sugar.

Grandma told the second grandfather what the eldest aunt meant, and the second grandfather thought it was appropriate, so he and the two went to his brother Han Decai's house.

Gui Jin's family of three plays cards at home, Han Decai can't do without a wheelchair, he is big, Gui Jin has helped take care of his father since he was a child, so his family of three basically does not go out to visit the house, they are all at home.

Han Decai is a first-class disabled person, with a monthly salary and allowance, and in order to take care of him, the state also gives his wife a nursing fee of 20 yuan a month, and when he distributes rations, he eats the average of the village.

Therefore, the life of his family is still good, not to take care of the second master's family, it is estimated that they should not come back. After graduating from high school, Guijin was afraid that his mother would not be able to take care of his father alone, so he went home to farm.

Gui Jin is the most educated girl in the village and a descendant of soldiers. A family of three, living a warm and peaceful life.

It is said that she was born in five or five years, and she is not too young, and she should have been engaged a long time ago. But she was worried about her parents and was reluctant to leave them, so the family affair was delayed. She wanted to find a door-to-door son-in-law, but there was no suitable one, and she herself had good conditions, and she didn't want to make do.

My aunt's cousin is twenty-six this year, and he has been a soldier for ten years. Nowadays, it is considered an older youth. Although he is a company commander, marriage is not easy. The age gap is too big, and the family is still in a hurry to marry him. The older ones have such and such problems, and it is difficult to find the right one. When the eldest aunt mentioned Guijin, her mother's family also thought it was appropriate.

Grandma told the man's situation, besides, Zhoulou and Hantun are separated by a big embankment, and the situation in each village is generally known. It's that as soon as the man has been gone for ten years, his performance in the army is unknown.

However, Han Decai said: "The children of other people are good on time in the army, otherwise they can't be promoted, no matter how much the army takes care of him, he has to rely on his own skills in promotion." ”

Gui Jin heard her father say this, and she had no opinion, her mother listened to the two of them in everything, and said happily: "This is exactly what I think, it doesn't matter if I don't have parents, I treat him as my own child, even if I don't talk about the inverted door, it's the same as the upside-down door." It's nothing to be a few years older, Gui Jin's father is more than ten years older than me, and this is not a good life. ”

Grandma heard that they had no opinions, so she asked Han Decai's opinion: "Grandpa, the man's holiday is until the eighteenth day of the first month, I will let the child come tomorrow morning, you and the eldest grandmother will take a look first and find out." ”

Han Decai agreed: "Okay, it's inconvenient for me to move, don't alarm others, you can let the child come home directly." ”

The custom here is that men and women say goodbye, and the first time they meet is usually on the side of the road outside the village, and the woman's family first looks at the man. If you like it, let the man's family look at the woman while they are in the market.

Both of them had no opinions, so they asked the man to come to the woman's house, and the two looked at each other and said that if they had no opinion, it would be settled.

"Okay, I'll listen to grandpa, this is the same as loving the country. The second master pushed his brother and followed Grandma Youyou out, and they went to the second uncle to inquire about the man's situation.

After listening to her grandmother's reply, her aunt immediately went to her mother's house and talked back to her cousin.

The second uncle agreed very much with this family business: "Shengying is a good person, and he is as good as Guijin." Then he introduced Zhou Shengying's situation to his brothers.

Zhou Shengying joined the army at the age of sixteen, and followed his uncle Aijun, who was already a platoon commander at that time. In front of outsiders, he never mentioned the relationship between the two, nor did he think of using his relatives to benefit himself.

He was an upright, hardworking and courageous man, and was a well-known pacesetter in the army. And pay attention to learning, I just gnawed down the textbooks of junior high school, and now I have become a talent among the company commanders, and all kinds of reports are written by myself.

The second brother was very satisfied with what he heard, and it depends on the fate of Guijin and them tomorrow.
