Reborn in 70s to marry a big man, Jiaojiao has one child after another

The yard of Mrs. Wang's house is about the same size as Gu Zhiyuan's yard, but it looks much more crowded.

Next to the east and west wings, several small rooms were built with bricks or wooden boards, which looked seriously inconsistent with the original building.

But it is common in this era. If there are many people in the family, what should we do if there is not enough house?Build a few small houses yourself or hire someone to live in them.

This is what everyone does. For example, in Gu Zhiyuan's yard, there are absolutely no random structures built by oneself, which is actually very rare to see.

The yard of Mrs. Wang's house is a bit crowded, but it is neatly kept. It can be seen that the family members are diligent and tidy.

Aunt Wang asked Xu Ningyan to sit down in the yard, took the bowl from Xu Ningyan's hand, and entered the kitchen. After a while, she brought out a bowl of mung bean water and said, "It's hot today. My dear, drink some mung bean water to relieve the heat. I'll The one with brown sugar.”

Xu Ningyan took it and took a sip. Aunt Wang was a real person. There was too much brown sugar in it and it was a bit sweet, but she still drank it without changing her expression.

Aunt Wang took the opportunity to sit next to Xu Ningyan, chatting with her about family matters, and also inquired about the situation of Xu Ningyan and Gu Zhiyuan.

The two of them were chatting lively, and Xu Ningyan soon learned that most of the residents in Maoer Hutong were people who worked in government agencies, and there were also the older generation who lived here.

Everyone knows the basics, the work place is good, the benefits are good, there are not many people living there, and the composition is not complicated, so compared to other hutong compounds, this place is considered close to each other.

Everyone gets along well with each other on weekdays. If you need anything, you just need to say hello and anyone who can help will be able to help.

Maoer Hutong is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. Not far from the alley is the Fukui Department Store, the largest in the capital. There are several parks around it, and schools and hospitals are also nearby.

In later generations, it was well located within the East Second Ring Road, close to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. A courtyard in this location could be sold for a sky-high price in later generations.

Xu Ningyan had to admire him. This boss was a boss. He could buy any yard within the East Second Ring Road. He deserved to be rich!

Aunt Wang, on the other hand, had been chatting with Xu Ningyan for a long time about domestic matters. She had explained most of the situation in Maoer Hutong, but she couldn't find out much of the information she wanted to find out.

After half a day, they have learned that Gu Zhiyuan works on Chang'an Street, and Xu Ningyan is the son of a martyr and works in a county thousands of miles away. They are an unmarried couple and they are here to meet the man's parents this time.

Other than that, I didn’t ask anything about it.

Aunt Wang couldn't help but look at Xu Ningyan a few more times. She didn't expect that this sweet-looking, well-behaved girl was actually the child of a martyr. No wonder she had such a tight mouth.

Originally, I was wondering how Xu Ningyan, a girl from a small county thousands of miles away, could be in love with Xiao Gu, who had an official work unit in the capital, and was the son of a martyr. That made sense.

Although he didn't know what Gu Zhiyuan's unit was, but looking at Gu Zhiyuan's behavior, his straight body, his aura, and the fact that he was the son of a martyr, he thought he was related to the army.

After Aunt Wang guessed this, she didn't dare to inquire any more.

But his attitude became more and more enthusiastic. It was still early and it was not so hot at this time, so he simply took Xu Ningyan out and introduced her to several places she needed to visit in daily life.

There are grain stores, food stores selling meat and vegetables, the nearest street supply and marketing cooperatives, places selling coal, and state-run restaurants.

After the introduction, he took Xu Ningyan back and said, "Comrade Xu, the street ahead is the street office. You who come from below to visit relatives, if you stay for a long time, you have to register at the street office. Go, or you will be arrested as a blind drifter! By the way, have you brought your letters of introduction?"

This is what it means to raise points.

Xu Ningyan didn't expect that there would be such a problem. At this time, it was really difficult to move forward without a letter of introduction.

He nodded quickly: "Bring it with you, I'll register it tomorrow."

After that, he thanked Aunt Wang repeatedly and said that it was thanks to her for reminding her, otherwise they would have forgotten because they were young and ignorant, which would have caused misunderstanding.

He also flattered Aunt Wang, saying that it was only thanks to enthusiastic people like Aunt Wang that everyone in Maoer Hutong could get along so well.

Aunt Wang couldn't help coaxing her from ear to ear, and took the initiative to invite Xu Ningyan to follow her to buy vegetables tomorrow morning, making sure that Xu Ningyan could buy fresh and cheap vegetables.

The two made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning. Aunt Wang went back to her yard, used Xu Ningyan's bowl of jujubes, put a bowl of cold shrimps out and stuffed it to Xu Ningyan: "Try Auntie's craftsmanship, this is the way in Sichuan. , My eldest daughter-in-law is from Sichuan, and this is the most authentic way to make it. It’s cool and appetizing to eat in summer.”

"Take it back and ice it with well water. Just put some brown sugar water in it when you eat it!"

Xu Ningyan knew that this was the way to reciprocate courtesy between neighbors, so she accepted it unceremoniously.

So at night, there were two more bowls of cold shrimp in brown sugar water on the dinner table.

Gu Zhiyuan looked curious: "What is this?"

Xu Ningyan smiled: "This is the cold shrimp given by Mrs. Wang next door. I chilled it in the well water and poured it with brown sugar water. You can try it."

Gu Zhiyuan didn't expect that in just half a day, Xu Ningyan had already gotten to know the neighbors. They seemed to have a good relationship with each other. The heart that had been vaguely worried about him suddenly relaxed.

Take another bite of the cold shrimp. It is ice cold and slippery in the mouth, and has the sweet taste of brown sugar, which makes people eat it without realizing it.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Aunt Wang next door knocked on the door: "Xiao Xu, little Xu girl, get up quickly. There is meat and fish in the supply station today. Hurry up and get your Xiao Gu's food book." and wallet, follow me.”

Xu Ningyan woke up a long time ago. When he heard Aunt Wang's voice, he washed up casually and picked up the money and tickets on the coffee table in the living room. Gu Zhiyuan was also awakened and came out of the back room, holding his grain book and ticket holder. , which contains his monthly bills.

"Do you need me to go?" Gu Zhixing asked.

"No, just go to work as soon as you get back from buying breakfast. I don't know when I'll be back yet!" Xu Ningyan worked in a department store in Jingshan County, and later Li Cuiying helped save meat, so she didn't rush to buy it. Meat and vegetables, so I didn’t feel confident.

Gu Zhiyuan smiled and put the tickets and food book into Xu Ningyan's hands, rubbed her hair, and looked at her carrying a bamboo basket. She went out expectantly and met up with Aunt Wang next door, talking and laughing. He walked towards the entrance of the alley.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Gu Zhiyuan couldn't help but think about it. After getting married, this is what life after marriage should be like, right?
