The counterattack begins with Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy

Chapter 318

It is often said that marriage is the tomb of love, and they feel that there is a huge difference in life before and after marriage.

But most of these people don't understand that marriage and love are two things in essence, and it is wrong to pursue the same characteristics in two things that are completely opposite to each other.

It is not the first time for Zhuang Ziqiang to experience marriage in the mission world, but it is the first time for him to stay with a woman.

In the 80s, an era of materialistic desires and no feminist rights, after solving the most basic material life, most marriages were relatively harmonious.

Just like Zhuang Ziqiang and Sun Xiaoning, the economic conditions have reached a level beyond the reach of most people in this era. Zhuang Ziqiang works at his Mala Tang stall with peace of mind, while Sun Xiaoning goes to work every day.

After work in the evening, the husband and wife will do all the important food and drink together.

Every week, I go to my parents' house for two meals, and occasionally go out to play.

The life of the young couple after marriage should not be too moist.

Of course, there are also downsides.

For example, Sun Xiaoning's cooking skills.

Even though she was bullied by her grand-mother for a while before marriage, her cooking skills are really not flattering.

This is understandable, the grandparents and grandparents are old and have a daughter, and the family loves Sun Xiaoning very much, and she has been studying all the time, so she has no chance to learn how to cook.

"Daughter-in-law, we won't cook today. Mom's making dumplings tonight, let's hurry over there."

Zhuang Ziqiang interrupted Sun Xiaoning who was excited to cook after returning from grocery shopping, and dragged him to his mother's house.

Sun Xiaoning's culinary skills can be described in one sentence, people are still addicted to food.

It just so happened that today my mother was making dumplings at home, so Zhuang Ziqiang hurriedly interrupted her act of wanting to show off her cooking skills.

When I got home, my mother and Hao Dongmei were making dumplings in the kitchen, and Sun Xiaoning immediately ran over to help.

Zhou Bingyi was rolling the dough aside.

Zhuang Ziqiang became idle, so he moved a stool to chat with them.

"Self-improvement, how is your Mala Tang stall doing?"

"Very good! Now that Yanjing and Binhai have stabilized, I plan to expand to a few more cities in the second half of the year."

Hao Dongmei joked, "Second brother, can you make a lot of money?"

"It's okay, the net profit reached 25 last month."

Zhuang Ziqiang said again: "That's right. Mom, it happens that I have money now, and the summer vacation is coming soon. Shall we contact the hospital and send Dongmei to visit abroad?"

Mother glanced at Hao Dongmei, "What do you think? Is this summer vacation okay? If yes, Mom can help you get in touch."

Hao Dongmei usually bluffs, but at this critical moment, her eyes turned to her husband Zhou Bingyi for help.

Zhuang Ziqiang said: "When the time comes, let Bingyi go with you, and the family members can rest assured."

The mother said: "Your father agreed on this matter when he was alive. Now that your second brother is capable, he will send you abroad to see a doctor. You don't have to worry about it, you are a family."

When my mother said this, she was speaking to Hao Dongmei, but she was actually speaking to Zhou Bingyi, for fear that his self-esteem would be hurt.

Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "This is a good thing. Second brother, thank you so much."

"It's all a family, so why not be polite."

Seeing this, the mother said: "Okay, then it's decided. I'll contact you in the next two days, let's go to the Soviet Union first."

The Soviet Union before its disintegration was one of the two poles of the world, and its national strength was not inferior to that of the United States, and the same was true in terms of medical treatment.

Even people like Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei who were born in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China once had Soviet pen pals.My mother is an old revolutionary, so even if I have no Soviet friends, it is not a problem to contact some big Soviet hospitals through old comrades and colleagues.

After dinner, my mother suddenly hit Hao Dongmei.

"Oh, Mom, what are you doing?"

"It's all your trouble, I forgot to say something serious."

"What's the matter?"

Mother didn't speak, Zhou Bingyi smiled, Hao Dongmei didn't understand why.

"What else can I do? Mom is anxious to hold her grandson." Zhou Bingyi explained to his wife.

Hao Dongmei said carelessly: "Oh, that's it! The second brother has only been married for a few days? The young couple are just newlyweds. Mom, this is a bit too unpleasant for you. Thanks to me for interrupting you today."

Mother said angrily: "I still have to thank you?"

"You're welcome, whoops!"

Summer started in July, Hao Dongmei had summer vacation, and after staying at home for only two days, she was arranged to board a plane to the Soviet Union.

All the mothers in the Soviet Union were entrusted to old friends to make arrangements. Of course, Zhuang Ziqiang had to pay for it.

On this day, Zhuang Ziqiang took Sun Xiaoning back to the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Sun Xiaoning had never been separated from his family since childhood, and occasionally showed homesickness after getting married.

Zhuang Ziqiang was always able to take care of her emotions, and would offer to take her back to her natal family every once in a while, which made Sun Xiaoning very happy.

The two of them were walking on the street of the optical film with their things in their hands. A neighbor saw him and greeted Sun Xiaoning.

"Xiao Ning, come back to see your parents again?"

"Yes, Aunt Li, did you go grocery shopping?"

Along the way, there were constant greetings.

Zhuang Ziqiang said to Sun Xiaoning: "Xiaoning, I think how about we pay our parents to improve the housing conditions?"

Sun Xiaoning was surprised by her husband's proposal, but also very sweet in her heart.

But she, who understands righteousness, didn't agree immediately.

"Why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?"

"I think, firstly, it's more convenient for us to go home and live. Secondly, Dongmei went abroad, and I took a lot of money. Dongmei is my sister, and your parents are also my parents. You can't favor one over the other. , I think what the old couple needs most now is to improve the house at home. What do you think?"

What Zhuang Ziqiang said is true. The Sun family has only two small houses, where three generations of grandparents and grandchildren lived. It was already very inconvenient for Sun Xiaoning before he got married. Now every time he goes home, he has no way to live at home, and can only eat. Just leave after dinner.

And before his sister went abroad, he brought rubles worth 40 RMB to her through his relationship.Although Sun Xiaoning never questioned his decision, Zhuang Ziqiang still felt that the two families should be treated equally, and the relationship between husband and wife was often managed.

Sun Xiaoning looked at her husband with happiness in his eyes, "When you get home, tell your parents."

Of course, she would leave this opportunity to show her filial piety to her husband.

"But where is your brother..."

"It's okay, I'll tell him where my brother is."

After a man gets married, it means setting up a household and asking his son-in-law to pay for the improvement of living conditions. The grandparents can accept it, but it is Sun Chaochao, the eldest grandson, who loses face.

The two discussed as they walked, and when they reached the gate of Sun's courtyard, their nephew Sun Sheng was playing at the gate of the house. As soon as he saw the couple, he immediately ran over and called sweetly, "Auntie, uncle!"

Sun Sheng knew that every time his aunt and uncle came home, it was his holiday, and they always brought a lot of delicious food and fun.
