Time flies in the solar year of 1976. Local supplies experienced the summer flood were extremely tight, and meat protein was basically impossible to buy. Even if there is a product, it had already been sent to the government office. Where is the turn of ordinary people to buy it?

Ding Wei and the others have not seen meat or eggs for a month. The sporadic times were also bought by Ding Zhenlong when he went out to make extra money. It was very precious. In addition, the meat they all ate in state-owned restaurants.

My mother rushed forward quickly before the New Year, and prepared Ding Caisang's joy with Grandma Lei, Grandma Wang, Grandma Zheng. In addition, she also bought some ornaments and daily necessities in the wedding room with Cailian according to the dowry of 200 yuan.

Ding Cailian witnessed every penny spent, and hugged the uncle's arm in a touch, and promised that he would repay them well in the future.

It would be fine if my mother listened to this, but she didn't care about it at all. In fact, she only wanted to be at ease and have a clear conscience when she helped them.

If her family did not have this condition, she would not be so generous. Just like the third family, she was powerless. In fact, the third family was not stingy. At least they gave them twenty yuan. In this era, it was not easy for everyone. They could only consider whether to help others while protecting their own situation.

This is called helping within your ability, not that your family is almost out of reach, and you still have to help others. This is not kindness, but stupidity.

Anyway, my parents helped them not for their return. They just because of their second uncle's face, so I couldn't bear to let them do it.

After Ding Caisang knew about their feelings, he said a lot of numb words for the first time, just thanking them for their statements. As elders, his parents told her that they should know and follow principles, such as some behaviors before marriage.

After hearing this, Ding Caisang blushed and didn't even dare to raise his head, "Auntie, you forgot that he can no longer do that."

Zhao Qingqing's face also became awkward in an instant, "I thought he just had no fertility, not... I'm stupid, sorry Sangsang,"

"No, it's okay, so don't worry, I won't... They have always been very good to me because of this,"

Zhao Qingqing sighed relieved: "I hope this will always be the case. Don't make excessive demands on others because of this. Sangsang, life is like this. We cannot give in when we should be strong, but we often know how to explain it to you. When we come back, I will give you an example, especially when we get along with my sister-in-law, so we should not be careless."

Caisang can marry Qiao Zhi, which is considered a high-marriage. The old saying goes: marrying a daughter requires a high-marriage and marrying a wife requires a low-marriage. As for what the reason is, it cannot be said. At least it is passed down by ancestors, and it should be the experience summarized by many people.

On New Year's Day, I came back to visit the old couple solemnly. Not only did I bring back a lot of cotton coats that they didn't wear, but I also brought a lot of nutritional supplements for the old couple. But they were too busy, so the couple and their son only stayed at home for one night and left.

Parents tried these cotton coats, which fit very well, and they also wore them by their brothers, but their daughter was still young and did not have the size they wore. Ding Wei also thought it was nothing because these clothes were excellent, so her mother was very happy after accepting them, and she said she could save a lot of money again this year.

"Fortunately, I didn't make clothes for your dad and your brother. Look, this is not the right thing. We have saved us from owing favors and borrowing cloth tickets everywhere and spending money to make clothes. Look at these clothes, they are all good, and they all look good. The people in this provincial capital are different from us. There is also this military coat, which is always warm. Your dad already has one, and this one is for your third brother to wear."

While cleaning up, my mother sighed happily. Ding Wei saw the joy in her eyebrows and felt that people of this era were really easy to satisfy.

Eating and drinking enough, having a healthy family, living well, and dressing warmly, you are really satisfied. Because everyone's level is similar, there is too little room for comparison or improvement, so you feel a sense of happiness. After the reform and opening up, the 10,000 yuan household was the first group of people to keep a distance, and the gap between the rich and the poor will become bigger and bigger in the future.

If you have money and power in a family, then you are truly rich. Whether spiritually or materially, you can be considered a top-notch group.

So my mother had great expectations for her two brothers, and both hoped that they would have a future in the future. Now they could be better than others. If they could have a military rank, it would be even more amazing.

Such a big thing happened at home, and when the two brothers needed help the most, they both felt very guilty and chose to come back for the Spring Festival this year.

Because the eldest and second brothers were both in Shandong Province, they contacted each other after the time was completed. The two took the train to the city on the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, and then took the car back to the county town. The father rode a bicycle and the mother rode the Zheng family's tricycle and excitedly went to the bus station to pick up her son.

They were not wearing military uniforms, they were all wearing casual clothes. Because of their hairstyle and height, they got off the car and saw their two tall children. Tears were pouring down their faces.

She covered her mouth and said to her father with tears in her eyes: "They have grown taller, lost weight, and darker," she said.

Seeing that my mother was so excited, my father even choked up and pulled her over, but my mother said, "No, no, I'm weak and I can't walk,"

"Looking at your promising prospects, are you so excited when your son comes back?"

"I went to join the army in 1973. I haven't seen each other for two and a half years. How can I not be excited? There is also construction, I haven't seen each other for a year and a half,"

While the couple was talking, their two sons, who had long legs, walked quickly, carried the marching bags they sent by the troops. They came to the couple in three steps in two steps. They stood at attention and saluted their parents, and then shouted in unison: "Mom and Dad, we are back."

The old mother couldn't hold on any longer and kept talking while crying and hugging her son.

"Okay, okay, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, I'm going to put my luggage on the tricycle, let's go home,"

Today, when her son came back, Zhao Qingqing took a special leave. The old couple was very considerate and told her not to worry about them and reunite with her family.

In fact, she said she was asking for leave, and she had prepared all the steamed buns in the morning, and the old couple distilled them and cooked some porridge.

Anyway, the people's lives are not like this now. It is excellent to eat cabbage, tofu stuffing and pumpkin stuffing.

In order to welcome the brothers back, Ding Wei had already tried her best to discuss meat tickets with her colleagues, and even spent a high price to get three pounds of sausage from her colleagues. This is a good thing, and it is not enough to do it if there is less. Who made their family have more?

Originally, it was a reward for the brothers, but when she was having dinner, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw the three brothers of the second uncle's family kept picking up meat and vegetables and didn't eat them. This was too bad. Ding Wei was about to speak up to them, but the eldest brother suddenly grabbed her hand from under the table. When she looked up, he shook it slightly.

After dinner, Ding Wei and Dingxiang packed the kitchen and returned to the room to talk to their brothers, the elder brother said.

"If they want to eat, let them eat more. It is not easy for the second uncle to leave in a hurry."

Ding Wei didn't think so: "Everyone knows that meat is delicious, and no one understands that it's not easy to make some meat. It was originally prepared to welcome the brothers. As a result, you two didn't eat a few pieces and all got into their stomachs. They didn't talk and bury their heads and ended up eating hard. It was like our family abused them without eating enough. This is the most basic politeness. Dingxiang and I know the truth, but you spoiled them. Brother, this is not sympathy, this is praise, do you know? Over time, they will develop a habit and do not care about others at all, and will become more and more selfish."

Ding Jianguo was speechless. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but touch her head: "My sister has grown up and will reason with her brother."

"You are right, but we can't say that if we say it, we will be gossiped about it. At my uncle's house, don't even let a piece of meat be eaten. Do you believe it? This will be heard from their mouths."

Ding Wei also knows this truth, "I won't make meat anymore, I will just make meat tickets. Let's go to a state-owned restaurant to eat. Dad, when will our house be built? I can't wait to separate. The family is secretly talking. I'm like a thief at home. I'm so frustrated that I help you, but I can't disturb our normal life, right? Three pounds of intestine cost me nine yuan, three pounds per pound. How many yuan did you eat? I'm so angry."

If it weren't for the suppression of her temper by her brother, she would probably turn against her face on the spot. Such people shouldn't have given them face, would they owe meat?

When Ding Wei thought of how they wanted to pierce their heads into the plate when eating meat, she felt so disgusted.

Ding Zhenlong and Zhao Qingqing also comforted their daughter.

"Hold on, our house will be built at the beginning of next year. As for your father's factory, it would be nice to build it at the end of next year."

Although the Gregorian Year is over now, the Lunar New Year has not arrived yet, so the end of the year here refers to the end of 1976.

If the house is handed over by the end of 1976, then the decoration and drying will be the summer of 1977.

It's also good to be able to live in their new house in the summer of 1977!

When talking about her new house, Ding Wei's eyes were filled with longing, which eliminated the affliction caused by her flesh.

Ding Cailian did not come for dinner this time because she was too busy and finally had to wait for a weekend and there were too many things to wash at home, so she didn't come to join in the fun.

They didn't inform Caisang either, so the only ones who had dinner with them were the three brothers from the second wife of the Ding family, and their family of eight.
