Chapter 41: Wages, proposal

After the lotus and peach blossoms finished the noodles, the old lady Han came back with Han Aiguo. Han Aiguo's face was always expressionless and could not see anything, but the old lady Han's face was not so good. I know I'm very upset.
In front of the child, the old lady Han didn't say what happened just now, but explained to the lotus sisters: "If your mother doesn't feed you anymore, you will come to find milk, and the milk will be your master."
The lotus sisters nodded happily again.
After that, the old lady didn't mention it again and continued to make pastries.
When it was getting dark, the pastries were all done. Seeing that it was time for dinner, the old lady asked Su Yue to go back after dinner here. There were a lot of dishes left at noon. Just warm them up in the evening. I won’t eat them today. It may be broken tomorrow.
Su Yue should go down.
The old lady Han did not let the lotus and the peach blossom go back, and asked the two sisters to stay here and take a bite with them before going back.
Although Lotus wanted to eat at Grandma's place, she shook her head, "Milk, Taohua and I will go home to eat. Our ration is not here, so I can't always eat your ration." Today, she and Taohua have eaten a lot of milk. I can’t eat anymore, or my grandma’s rations won’t be enough.
Old lady Han knew that she was sensible, and she became more and more annoyed that the patriarch of her second son and couple came, rubbed her hair and said: "It's okay, there are a lot of vegetables left at noon, so let's make some corn cakes with milk, enough for us to eat. "The second daughter-in-law hasn't come to tell the sisters to go back to dinner. She may be angry with the sisters, and now I don't know if they will have food.
Seeing this, Lotus hesitated, looked at her eager sister, and finally nodded in agreement, but when the old lady Han was about to give her the fifty cents that had been burned today, she stuffed the money back to Han again. The old lady’s hand said, "Milk, I won’t need any money from the fire in the future, so I will give all milk. Milk can you give me two pieces of cake a day?" Her mother was reluctant to burn it every night, it was all gruel, she and peach blossom I'm so hungry that I can't sleep every night. If I can get two cakes from the milk, I won't be afraid of being hungry.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Han knew what the child wanted the cake for. With her second wife’s temperament, the two children must not have enough to eat.
When the child is growing up, it’s not good to be hungry all the time. It stands to reason that it’s okay for her grandmother to give the child two pieces of cake a day. There is no need to collect lotus money, but I think of the second daughter-in-law earning money from lotus flowers. She was angry when she didn't feed her children. She deliberately wanted to teach her second daughter-in-law a lesson, so she nodded and agreed: "That's OK. From now on, I will give you and Taohua two cakes every day." As for the money, she Collect the lotus, make some clothes for the two children in the future, and save it as a dowry. According to their mother's personality, she does not expect her to prepare a dowry for the two children.
Hearing that one person can eat two pieces of cake, both Lotus and Peach are happy, but Lotus expects to go back and have no money to give to her mother. Her mother will definitely ask, knowing that she will be angry if she spends the money to buy cakes. Yes, so she timidly discussed with the old lady Han: "Milk, if my mother asks, don't you say whether we are buying cakes? Or my mother will kill me."
Of course the old lady Han knows this, and she said: "Don't worry, you will say that milk is not willing to pay you when you go back. If your mother has any opinions, please let your mother come and tell me."
The old lady was relieved when she said lotus, her mother was afraid of milk as well.
When I went back to the second daughter-in-law of Han to ask for money from lotus, he told her mother again as the old lady said. After finishing speaking, the second daughter-in-law of Han suddenly stiffened and asked incredulously: I won’t give you money for burning fire?"
The lotus nodded.
The second wife of Han's face turned dark, and her heart frustrated. Is it because the old lady is angry because of what happened today, so she won't be willing to pay for lotus in the future? Let the lotus white work in the future?
How does that work! How can the old lady be like this!
The second daughter-in-law of Han was angry, but it was not easy to go directly to the old lady to reason. When she slept with the second daughter in the evening, she told him about it: "My mother didn't pay lotus money today, and she said she won't pay anymore. , Let the lotus do her work for nothing."
Han Lao Er was stunned, and after a long silence, he said: "If you don't give it, don't give it. The lotus will help the mother burn the fire for a long time, and we will treat our mother as our filial piety."
Unexpectedly, when he said this, the second wife of Han was so angry that he twisted his arm, "How do you say it is so light, if you don't want 50 cents, don't you want it, is our family rich?"
Han's second wife screamed and screamed pain by her, and pulled her hand away, "What are you doing! Is it possible that you still want me to tell my mother to ask for money? My mother's grandmother asks granddaughter to help Isn’t it okay to burn the fire for a long time? If we don’t give money, we won’t let the lotus do the work? Then when you ask the lotus to do the work, will you also have to pay?"
"Lotus is my daughter, it is justified to work for me!" The second wife of Han retorted subconsciously.
Second Han: "Then my mother is the lotus pro-grandmother, the pro-grandmother will pay for the work for her granddaughter?"
The second wife of Han was choked by what he said. She choked on her chest and couldn't get down. Knowing that it was useless to tell him, she turned around and ignored him, feeling sullen.
Han Lao Er ignored her, fell asleep after a while and snored.
Seeing that he didn't care at all, he actually fell asleep so soon, and the second wife of Han was vomiting to death. She didn't fall asleep all night, and she kept thinking about how to do this.
When the lotus went to burn the fire for Mrs. Han the next day, the second daughter-in-law of Han was still reluctant to pay fifty cents a day, so she bit her head and followed the lotus to the kitchen, and asked with a smile: "Mother, why don't you pay lotus? Didn't you say that you would pay 50 cents a day?"
The old lady Han didn’t even look at her, and asked with a sullen face,
I didn’t let you support me, so I asked my granddaughter to do me a favor and burn the fire and pay? Why, I can’t use it if I don’t pay. My granddaughter, right?"
The second daughter-in-law of Han smiled wryly, rubbed her hands, and whispered in a low voice: "Mother, lotus is also considered an elder child. At any rate, it is a labor. Now our family of five depends on me and her father to support the family. , If the lotus does not go to work, how can we live on?"
The old lady smashed the rag in her hand, "Lotus is less than ten years old. How many work points can her one and a half-year-old child earn? You couple are ashamed to expect lotus to earn work points? If you count on lotus to earn work points Then you go, and I won’t want the lotus to do work for me in the future, but if you have anything in the future, don’t come to me, and solve your own problems!"
The second wife of Han was very annoyed, but she didn't dare to stop the lotus from working for the old lady. What if the old lady really doesn't care about them in the future? Apart from other things, she said that if she had another child in the future, she still expected the old lady to serve her confinement. If the old lady was unwilling to serve her confinement, she would not be able to survive alone.
Thinking of this, the second daughter-in-law of Han didn't dare to say anything no matter how bad she was, so she suffocated her breath and left.
Lotus looked at Mrs. Han, her eyes full of admiration.
She still has great milk.
The old lady Han felt tired. At the beginning, she wanted to be quiet, but after the separation, she was not as quiet as before. After the separation, each had its own selfishness. The daughter-in-laws started to care about each other. Her old lady has some cheap dips here, and she doesn't worry about them all.
Compared with the second and third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Han feels that Su Yue is better, and it's better to marry the girl back as her eldest daughter-in-law, so that she feels comfortable.
Just as the old lady was wondering how to marry Su Yue back quickly, Maomao from the third family suddenly rushed in and shouted: "Milk, someone outside is looking for my uncle."
"Who?" The old lady Han looked out the door, but she didn't see anyone.
Han Aiguo went out and saw a postman in a green uniform riding a bicycle.
The postman saw him coming out and asked, "Is it Comrade Han Aiguo?"
Han Aiguo nodded, "I am."
"You have a letter." The postman took out an envelope and handed it to Han Aiguo.
Han Aiguo thanked him and looked down at the envelope. When he saw the name on the envelope, he knew it, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
The old lady Han also walked out at this moment, watching Han Aiguo holding an envelope in her hand, and curiously asked: "Who sent it to you?"
"A comrade-in-arms." Han Aiguo did not hide the old lady, opened the envelope and took out a bicycle ticket from it.
Old lady Han was surprised, "Where did you get the bike ticket?"
"I got it from my comrade-in-arms. Yueyue wants to buy a bicycle, but I don't have a ticket."
Hearing this, the old lady wiped her hands, took the ticket carefully, looked at it, her eyes were full of joy, "Okay, I didn’t expect you to have a bicycle ticket. This is a good thing. I planned to follow When you talk about this, I didn't expect you to take a step forward."
Han Aiguo looked at his mother puzzled.
The old lady Han gave him the ticket, then dragged him into the room, took out one hundred and fifty yuan from the box she put in the money and handed it to him, "I originally thought about you and Yueyue getting married. I bought a three-round one, but at any rate I want to buy a big piece for Yueyue. I originally planned to buy a bicycle or a sewing machine. Now that you have a bicycle ticket, let's buy a bicycle. This is the money for the car. , You will take Yueyue to the supply and marketing agency to buy one tomorrow."
Han Aiguo pushed the money back, "Mother, I don’t want the money. I have it in my hand. My comrade-in-arms lent me the money before, but I returned it to me this time. I used the money to take Yueyue to buy one. Vehicles."
After hearing this, the old lady Han still gave him the money, "Then you can use the money to buy a watch for Yueyue. The watch is practical and can be used in life. We can't treat a good girl like Yueyue."
Han Aiguo thought for a while and took the money. In fact, he originally planned to buy a watch for Su Yue.
After dinner, Han Aiguo went to the educated youth spot again. Seeing him coming, Li Xiaoqing and Wu Xiaoxiao both volunteered to contribute the room and let the two speak separately.
Su Yue took the initiative to hug his waist and smiled and asked him: "Comrade Han Aiguo, why are you here? Did you miss me?"
Han Aiguo pinched her nose and silently took out the bicycle ticket from his pocket.
"Ah! Bicycle ticket!" Su Yue was pleasantly surprised, taking the ticket and looking left and right, "This is the bicycle ticket? Can I buy a bicycle?"
Seeing her so happy, Han Aiguo was also very happy in her heart, rubbing her hair, her eyes were very soft, "You ask for a leave tomorrow, let's go to the supply and marketing agency to buy a bicycle."
"Okay, okay." Su Yue nodded her head hurriedly, her mood at the moment extremely high.
Damn, is she going to be a man with a luxury car? No longer use the 11th bus for traveling in the future! Hahaha...
Seeing her self-consciously happy for a while, Han Aiguo pursed her lips, cleared her throat, and said with a tense voice: "Yue'er, let's get married."
Su Yue was caught off guard and was taken aback by what he said.
Seeing her in a daze, Han Aiguo even stretched his back, his heart thumped and thumped wildly, even though he had already typed countless times in his heart before he came, he also secretly practiced it many times in his head, but he really stood by her. When he spoke in front of him, he was still nervous to death, even when he was sniping the enemy, he did not feel that nervous.
He was afraid that she would not marry him.
Enduring the tension, Han Aiguo said again: "Yue'er, marry me, I want to live with you every day, and I will take care of you for the rest of my life."
This is... Proposing? This is the legendary proposal scene? Su Yue blinked her eyes, and her heartbeat gradually increased.
This is the first time she has been proposed in her two lives! She had never thought of this scene before. Although there is no diamond ring, no flowers, no kneeling, and no gorgeous sweet words, his simple words still touched her very much. She could feel the sincerity in his tone. He was making promises and making serious promises to her.
Han Aiguo took Su Yue’s hand, wrapped the white and slender hand in his palm, and looked at her seriously,
Yue’er, my leg will recover soon, and I’ve reported to the troops about my leg’s In the circumstances, the army asked me to go back as soon as possible after the leg injury was cured. Once I returned to the army, I might not be able to come back once a year. I couldn't let you go, and I wouldn't want to leave you here alone."
Having said this, Han Aiguo pursed his lips, "Yue'er, I want to marry you before returning to the army, and then take you to join the army. I can apply for a family room with my condition. Would you like to go with me?"
In fact, Su Yue has never hesitated about marrying Han Aiguo. She came to this time and space for Han Aiguo. Her meaning here is him, and, most importantly, she also likes him very much. I like this man very much and would like to marry this man.
So, in the face of his proposal, although she was unexpected, how could she refuse it?
"I'm willing~" Su Yue twisted her body and gave him the answer.
Hearing this, the big rock that Han Aiguo mentioned in his heart fell to the ground all of a sudden. Regardless of the sweat on his back, he grabbed Su Yue in ecstasy, and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to embed her. Into his chest.
It's rare to see him so excited, and Su Yue's heart instantly burst into sweetness. Thinking of marrying this man, she didn't feel any anxiety in her heart. She believed that she would not be wronged by marrying him.
Han Aiguo said impatiently: "Yue'er, then I will go back and let my mother choose a good day."
Su Yue nodded a little shyly.
"Then... would you like to write a letter to your parents to inform them?" Han Aiguo asked uncertainly. Since he met Su Yue, he has never heard her mention any family matters. , But marriage is such a big thing, you can't help her family know.
Su Yue shook her head, "No, my family is far away. I can decide this myself."
Seeing her saying this, Han Aiguo vaguely understood the relationship between Su Yue and his family. He didn't talk about this topic any more. Instead, he took out all the money in his pocket and gave it to her. There are three or four hundred yuan, "You take it."
Su Yue was startled, "Why are you paying so much money to me? Where did you get so much money?"
"My own mother gave it to me. Tomorrow we will buy a bicycle and buy you a watch. It is considered a bride price." Han Aiguo stuffed the money into Su Yue's hands. "For now, I can only buy these two for you. , When we go to the army, I will ask someone to get a sewing ticket and save money to buy you a sewing machine."
At this time, the most advanced configuration for marriage is three turns and one ring. Han Aiguo wanted to buy everything for Su Yue, but the conditions were not allowed, so he could only wrong her first, thinking about waiting to buy her slowly later.
Although she was very happy that he was so kind to herself, Su Yue still shook her head, "I have money myself. I can buy a bicycle by myself. You can take the money back to my auntie. You have to treat your legs."
Han Aiguo rubbed her soft long hair, "There is enough money to treat the legs. This is a gift for you. You can't do it." Silly girl, someone else's girl gets married. I can't wait to ask for more things, this Nizi But I don’t want anything and I have to buy my own bicycle.
Su Yue thought for a while, after getting married, she can treat his legs, so now the money is fine, and the two people don't need to be polite to these foreign objects.
After she figured it out, Su Yue stuffed the money into her waistband, brought her legs together and saluted him, showing a playful and brilliant smile, "Well, then I will accept the gift from Comrade Han Aiguo. La!"
Hearing what she said, Han Aiguo was happier than anyone else, and gave full play to the good qualities of an outstanding soldier in pursuit of victory, and immediately said: "Then you are my daughter-in-law now that the gift is received, so let's not regret it! Go to register on the day."
Su Yue squinted at him, "Okay, Comrade Aiguo Han, so you are waiting for me here? You want me to be shorthanded~"
Han Aiguo chuckled, bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, suppressing the surging heart and said: "I will go back now and let my mother choose a date, let's get married."
After speaking, she turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared. Su Yue hadn't seen him walking so fast.
