Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 105 The Two Aunts Are Back
Hu Qiongfang had no idea that someone was targeting her.
She was preparing a holiday gift for Jiang Tian to take to the He family.
According to the rules, since the daughter has been adopted by He Xiangjun, no matter now or after she gets married, she must go back during the three major festivals, Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Winter Solstice. Otherwise, who will sweep the grave and offer sacrifices to He Xiangjun?
Grandma Hu helped fold a basket of yellow paper ingots and bought a set of incense and candles to put in the basket.
Hu Qiongfang tied the claws of an old hen that she had bought in advance, added a grass carp weighing eight pounds, a piece of fat meat, two bottles of wine, and a bag of mooncakes, a total of six items, and put them in two baskets, and asked her second brother to help deliver them.
He family.
Old Mrs. He caught the fattest little rooster in the house one day in advance and locked it up in a broken bamboo basket. She also went to the street to buy some fruit candies and two mooncakes.
Old Master He was not idle either. He took a big broom and swept the house and yard clean.
The old couple were secretly expecting something, but neither of them spoke first.
According to the local custom, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated at night, but married daughters usually bring their sons-in-law back to their parents' home in the morning to give them gifts and have lunch there - in the evening, they naturally return to their husband's home to reunite with their parents-in-law.
Mr. He never expected that Hu Jianjun would bring Tiantian over early in the morning.
When she arrived at the He family, Jiang Tian became "He Tiantian" again.
As soon as they arrived, Mr. He's two daughters also came back with big and small bags.
It was also the first time that Jiang Tian met the two "aunts".
Although Mr. He is just an ordinary old farmer, he is a farmer with a particularly high level of awareness.
Since he himself had no ability to contribute to the country, he raised his three children and contributed them to the country.
He Aiping, the eldest daughter of the He family, signed up to support the border after graduating from junior high school. Later, she married a husband who is also a glorious border guard. The couple has been rooted in the border for many years. If they had not heard that the family had adopted a child for the younger brother, the couple would not have specially asked for leave to come back.
He Aiqing, the second daughter of the He family, was originally a female worker in a local textile factory. However, with the encouragement of her parents and younger brother, she did not give up learning after she started working. She apprenticed to the old craftsman in the factory and learned textile machine maintenance. She won awards in technical competitions across the province.
In the past two years, in order to support the development of the textile industry in remote and backward provinces, He Aiqing volunteered to support the construction of a new factory and went to Province S with her husband, even leaving her children in her hometown to be taken care of by her parents-in-law.
Such a strong woman actually took leave and came back just for Jiang Tian. Jiang Tian was really flattered.
The two sisters wanted to see what the adopted child of their younger brother was like. They originally thought she was just an ordinary country girl, but when they met she found that Jiang Tian was sweet and lovely, well-behaved and sensible, and most importantly, she was very filial to her parents and not shy at all. When she got home, she rolled up her sleeves and helped Grandma He kill chickens and cut fish, and do housework quickly and well.
The two sisters talked to Jiang Tian for a while. It sounded like this girl spoke in an organized way and didn't have any bad habits. They were secretly amazed and couldn't help but pull their mother aside and ask Grandma He where she found such a good granddaughter.
Old Mrs. He rolled her eyes, unable to hide her pride in her tone: "That's the compensation given to us by the Hu family!"
He Aiping was shocked: "Is it the girl who went on a blind date with my younger brother when he came back?"
The two sisters were a little sad for a moment.
I didn't expect that the two families had such a connection.
After the accident, it is impossible for me to say that I did not blame Hu Qiongfang at all. After all, the matchmaker had first discussed it with the Hu family, and Hu Qiongfang also nodded in agreement, so the family sent a telegram to the army to call He Xiangjun back for a blind date.
If Hu Qiongfang had not agreed back then, his family would not have asked He Xiangjun to come back, and perhaps I would not have sacrificed my life.
But even though they complained, the He family never thought of causing trouble for the Hu family, because they knew very well that even if he didn't come back for the blind date, with He Xiangjun's character, no matter where he was, if he saw ordinary people in danger, he would risk his life to save them.
This is the character that the people’s soldiers should have!
Either don't let your son join the army. Once he joins the army, he must be mentally prepared to sacrifice everything, including his life, for the country and the people .
However, what the He sisters did not expect was that after so many years, the Hu family still remembered this incident and even adopted Hu Qiongfang's eldest daughter to their younger brother.
They have to accept this favor even if they don't want to!
He Aiqing opened her mouth, wanting to persuade her mother to reconsider. It was not that she disliked Jiang Tian. In fact, it was precisely because Jiang Tian was so outstanding. She was also a mother. If it were her, how could she bear to give such a good and caring little cotton-padded jacket to someone else?
He Aiqing's heart was shaken, but she still couldn't bear to speak.
She is not blind and can see how happy her parents are now that "He Tiantian" has a new child in the family.
It was like a pool of lifeless stagnant water, suddenly a hole was dug, and a clear spring flowed in, washing away the dirty and filthy stagnant water, and even the air was filled with joy.
How long has it been since my little brother left? Her mother hasn't laughed for a long time...
But now, even though Old Mrs. He was humming, the corner of her eyes was always following her eldest granddaughter.
The two sisters of the He family looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They completely owed the Hu family this huge favor!
The granddaughter I found for free is so good that I can’t bear to return her to her. What else can I do?
Who knows, if the Hu family encounters any problems in the future, the two sisters will have to help out.
After having lunch at He's house, the whole family borrowed a tractor and went to the Martyrs' Cemetery to sweep the tomb of He Xiangjun. On the way back, they happened to pass by their own home. Jiang Tian asked her uncle to park the tractor in front of her house, opened the door with the key, and took the He family in to introduce themselves to the house.
"Grandpa and grandma, this is the house my mom built. We won't be going back to the village anymore. When the next semester starts, it will be closer for me to go to school here. I'll go back to see you on Sunday, okay?"
Jiang Tian actually wanted to bring Mr. He and his wife to live in the town.
Apart from anything else, at least it only takes about ten minutes to get to the County People's Hospital by car.
The old man is old and lives in the village. It’s okay when he is not sick, but if he is sick, it would be too tiring to go back and forth.
However, she is not yet qualified to bring her parents to live in town.
This new house was built by Hu Qiongfang, whose money was Jiang Leping's death pension. In other words, this new house was strictly considered the property of the Jiang family. Even if Hu Qiongfang and Jiang Tian were willing to let Mr. He and his wife live in it, the old couple probably would not be willing.
Grandma Hu hates the Jiang family so much that her teeth are itching, doesn’t Grandma He hate them too?
If Jiang Leping had not intercepted her, Hu Qiongfang would have been their daughter-in-law. If He Xiangjun and Hu Qiongfang were attracted to each other, he would definitely stay in his hometown and return to the army after getting married.
If He Xiangjun had not returned to the army earlier, he would not have met the woman who jumped into the river to commit suicide, and he would not have sacrificed himself to save others...
It would be better for Old Mrs. He to die than to let her live in her enemy’s house!
