At five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

"Patriotic! You're off work?" Yan Bugui saw Wu Aiguo pushing a bicycle and walking into the front yard, and greeted Wu Aiguo warmly.

Wu Aiguo saw Yan Bugui who was holding a kettle in his hand and watering the flowers, and asked Yan Bugui with a smile, "Three masters! Don't you claim to be the last resort? Why haven't you thought about using these pots to grow some shallots and leeks or something?"

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's reminder, he was obviously stunned, then reached out and patted the back of his head, and complained regretfully, "Why didn't I think about it in this way?"

Yan Bugui said this, and said to Wu Aiguo with a grateful face: "Patriotic! Thank you for reminding me of this, by the way, your family has come to relatives, and I heard your mother say that it seems to be your uncle."

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, subconsciously looked in the direction of the east wing, and when he saw the closed door, he pushed the bicycle to the door of the house and parked it, and then walked in the direction of the backyard.

In the memory of the original owner, Wu Aiguo's grandmother's house is in Chenjiashan on the outskirts of Kyoto.

Wu Aiguo's mother has five brothers and sisters, and his mother Chen Shuying is the third in the family, the eldest Chen Shulan, the second Chen Weijun, the fourth Chen Weiguo, and the fifth Chen Weimin.

Wu Aiguo went to Chenjiashan several times when he was a child, but when he grew up, he never went to Chenjiashan again because he was messing around outside all day.

Wu Aiguo walked through the moon gate, came to the backyard, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain at the gate, and before the person entered the house, he asked with a smile, "Mom! I heard the third master say, our family has relatives?"

When Wu Aiguo walked into the house, he saw his second uncle, Chen Weiguo, and a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old, sitting at the table in the living room.

After Chen Weiguo came to Chen Shuying's house, through chatting with Chen Shuying, he had learned from Chen Shuying that his nephew Wu Aiguo had not only returned from joining the army, but also became a cadre.

When Chen Weiguo saw Wu Aiguo who walked into the house, he immediately greeted Wu Aiguo with a smile and said, "Patriotic! You're back from work?"

As soon as Chen Weiguo's words fell, he kicked his son with his foot and reminded him dissatisfiedly: "Xiaodong! What are you still doing, why don't you call someone?"

When Xiaodong heard Chen Weiguo's reminder, he reacted, and greeted Wu Aiguo with some restraint: "Cousin! You're back."

Wu Aiguo heard Chen Weiguo's words, saw Xiao Dong's restrained face, and asked him politely, "Second uncle! When did you and Xiaodong get here?"

Chen Weiguo heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Patriotic! We just arrived in the city at noon."

When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Weiguo's answer, he thought of his grandfather and grandmother who lived in the countryside, and asked Chen Weiguo with a smile, "Second uncle! Are my grandfather and grandmother all right?"

"Patriotic! Your grandfather and grandmother's health is still strong, but the family does not have enough food to eat, and your second uncle came to the city this time to get some food to go back." Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo ask about her parents, and hurriedly told Wu Aiguo about the situation of the two old men and the reason why her younger brother came to the city. ….

Wu Aiguo heard Chen Shuying's introduction, and said to Chen Shuying, "Mom! There is grain in our cellar, and you will go and get 100 catties of stick noodles and 20 catties of white noodles later, and bring them back to my second uncle."

When Wu Aiguo said this, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out five great unity sheets from his pocket, and said to Chen Weiguo, "Second uncle! Take the fifty yuan, and when you return to the village, help me give ten yuan to my grandparents and grandmother, and ten yuan to my uncle, aunt, and uncle, and you can keep the remaining ten yuan for yourself."

Chen Weiguo came to the city to find Chen Shuying this time, mainly because the food at home was not enough to eat, so he had to go into the city to ask Chen Shuying for food, but what Chen Weiguo didn't expect was that Wu Aiguo learned of his intention, not only did he not say anything about the food, but even gave him 50 yuan.

Living in the countryside, the whole family goes to the team every day to earn work, and it is not easy to earn a few dollars in a year.

Now Wu Aiguo is fifty yuan as soon as he makes a move, which makes Chen Weiguo feel very shocked, yes

Some embarrassed replied, "Patriotism! As long as there is food, the second uncle said that he can't ask for anything."

Chen Shuying, who was on the side, saw Wu Aiguo take out the money and asked Chen Weiguo to take it back to the village and distribute it to her parents and brothers and sisters living in the countryside, which made her feel very happy, and persuaded Chen Weiguo: "Defend the country! Patriotism is your nephew, since he gives you money, then you can take it, besides, Xiaodong's marriage also costs money?"

Chen Weiguo heard Chen Shuying mention his son's marriage, and thought of the bride price proposed by the woman, so he finally gritted his teeth and said to Wu Aiguo with a grateful face: "Patriotism! This money should be borrowed from you by the second uncle, and I will return it to you when the second uncle has money."

Wu Aiguo heard Chen Weiguo's promise and replied with a smile, "Second uncle! What to borrow or not to borrow? We are one family, and if we don't talk to two families, if you say this, you will be divided."

Chen Weiguo saw that Wu Aiguo had said everything to this, so he took the money handed to him by Wu Aiguo, and said with a grateful face: "Patriotic! Since you've said so, I'll take the money."

When Wu Aiguo saw Chen Weiguo take the money, he immediately asked Chen Weiguo, "Second uncle! What village is Xiaodong's object from? When are you going to have a wedding for Xiaodong?"

Chen Weiguo heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, thought of his son's marriage, and introduced with some embarrassment: "Patriotic! Xiaodong's object is the Wang family next door, and our two families formed a family by exchanging relatives."

"What! Swap Relatives! Second uncle! You don't plan to use Xiaoqin to help Xiaodong change his daughter-in-law, right?" When Wu Aiguo heard Chen Weiguo's introduction, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Chen Weiguo with a surprised face.

When Chen Weiguo heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he nodded subconsciously and replied, "The eldest son of the Liu family is twenty-three years old this year, and the youngest daughter is nineteen years old!"

"The Liu family married the daughter to Xiaodong, and our family married Xiaoqin to the boss of the Liu family, and the two parties did not want the bride price money because they were exchanging relatives."

Because of poverty, family exchange is very common in rural areas, but Wu Aiguo is a person from later generations after all, and he is naturally very repulsive to this way of family exchange.

Facing the situation introduced by Chen Weiguo, Wu Aiguo asked Chen Weiguo with a solemn face, "Second uncle! Is Xiaoqin willing to marry into the Liu family? Besides, the ten yuan I gave you can completely allow Xiaodong to have a daughter-in-law in the countryside, why do you sacrifice Xiaoqin's happiness to marry Xiaodong?"
