Reborn 1980: Cannon fodder mother changes her life against fate

Song Mingze laughed at her for thinking too much about his son's personality. As a father, he knew best. Early love may be possible, but early marriage... was impossible.

When Lu Chuyao came to his senses, his son was picking up a black duffel bag and placing it on the rosewood sofa. He opened the zipper and took out the gift he had prepared for the two elders.

Two small neck and shoulder massagers are best-sellers from an American brand. Song Zhiyu spent his entire high school scholarship to buy them. There is nothing to say about their functionality and quality.

The two old men were happy and touched. They called Xiaobao a considerate person. They took the packaging box and looked over it over and over. They asked distressedly, "Isn't this old man rich?"

While telling them how to use it, Song Zhiyu replied smoothly, "Grandpa, the price is secondary. As long as it is easy to use, it is worth the money."

Lu Jianjun listened and thought that this child was worthy of being his daughter's daughter. He spoke in exactly the same tone and looked down upon money as dirt, but the food and clothing should be of the highest quality.

Calmly glancing at his son-in-law, who was sitting in a leisurely but energetic manner, the old man thought silently, it's good, with his son-in-law protecting him, the mother and son can only get better and better.Money is nothing, only power.

After watching their parents finish their meal, the family of three got in the car and drove to the Song family's old house.

The floor of the house that had not been occupied for a long time was covered with dust, and the kitchen was even worse. Arrogant spiders were spinning silk and webs everywhere, as if to declare to them that "this is their territory."

Song Zhiyu picked up the broom standing in the corner to clear the way for his parents. Unexpectedly, while waving it to knock away the cobwebs, more dust and unknown small flying insects were raised in the air.

"Cough, cough, cough," Lu Chuyao choked on the powdery dust in the air and covered his nose and eyes in embarrassment, "Stop dancing, that's it."

Song Mingze pulled his wife out, stood in the courtyard and blew the foreign objects into her eyes. "Don't move, open your eyes wider." He blew gently, and the eyes secreted moisture. The red eyes blinked and regained their clarity.

The old house was uninhabitable, so Song Mingze took his wife and children and walked up the mountain to visit the graves of his grandparents and pay homage.The incense and money paper for worship were prepared for him by his subordinates, as well as artificial flowers and fruits such as bananas, which can be described as very "intimate and thoughtful".

The three of them offered incense to their ancestors with longing and awe, knelt down and talked for a long time.The sunset was about to set when we went down the mountain, and the red sunset dyed the leaves into magnificent colors, which was very dazzling.

They stayed one night at their parents' house and rushed back on the morning of the third day of the holiday.

Li Miaohua has never left the field since recovering from a serious illness. Her son sends money home every month, and her daughter often sends things back.The old couple kept busy with the small vegetable garden, growing eggplants, beans, and raising chickens.

When her daughter and son-in-law were leaving, Li Miaohua bundled dried beans into handfuls, added dried eggplants, put fifty eggs into a plastic bucket, and sprinkled them with shriveled corn to prevent the eggs from breaking.

"Mom, you and Dad can keep the eggs for yourself. We have them at home and can buy them at any time."

Li Miaohua gently patted away her daughter's blocking hand and asked the old man to put the things in the trunk.Song Mingze took his father-in-law's hand and said, "Dad, I'll come."

Lu Chuyao had nothing to do with her mother, so she stood helplessly on the steps, watching her parents take the trouble to instruct their grandson. The hunched back made her feel uncomfortable.

"Dad, Mom, you can go live with me for a few months."

Li Miaohua turned back and took her daughter's hand.Lu Chuyao walked down the two steps and found that his mother was getting shorter and shorter, and he had to lower his head slightly when talking to her.

"I heard that the military compound is very strict. Your father and I have been in the countryside for a long time, and I'm afraid we won't get used to it." He tucked his daughter's fallen hair behind her ears and continued, "I know you and your son-in-law are living well, Xiaobao. Keep up the good work, your dad and I have nothing else to ask for."

"Grandma..." Song Zhiyu came over and hugged her shoulders, "The army compound is not as scary as you think. It has great greenery and fresh air. You can also go for a walk with your neighbors of the same age if you have nothing to do."

"Grandpa likes to play chess, doesn't he? I remember that Grandpa Fang, who lives next door to our house, loves to play chess. If you go, you might be able to make friends with Grandpa Fang."

Song Mingze agreed with his son and joined in persuading his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It's a pity that the old man is stubborn and can't persuade him no matter what.

In the countryside in the early morning, everyone goes out to work one after another.Seeing the excitement in front of the Lu family courtyard, they came over in twos and threes to say hello to Lu Chuyao and the others.

For the high-ranking officials who came out of the small mountain village, the name Song Mingze was known to almost everyone in the Xiangyang Brigade.The older people in the village all knew him, and they immediately gathered around him to make friends.

A family of three was surrounded by villagers in the center, smiling apologetically at one and another. Seeing more and more people outside, Li Miaohua said loudly: "Fellow villagers, thank you for your love. My son-in-law and daughter-in-law have to drive the car." Go back, please give way."

Lu Jianjun squeezed in to separate the crowd and protected his grandson and daughter into the car...

Through the car window, Lu Chuyao waved goodbye to his parents who were still laughing, "Dad, Mom, please take care of your health at home, and call us anytime if you need anything."

"Okay, remember, let's go. Mingze, drive safely, Xiaoyu, Erbao, remember to tell your grandparents the good news when your results are out."The car started slowly, and Li Miaohua spoke faster and faster, and the last two words were broken.

Song Zhiyu rolled down the window and waved vigorously to his grandmother and grandfather, "Bye, grandpa and grandma, goodbye!"

The crowd slowly turned into black spots, the wheels speeded down the road, and the car exhaust completely disappeared.

In June, in the scorching early summer, Lu Chuyao stood outside the examination room holding a parasol, surrounded by parents, chattering and bustling.

She came at the right time, and she didn't want to wait outside when the sun was so bad.

On such a special day, the child's father also wanted to come, but unfortunately he was busy with military affairs and couldn't spare time, so he had to ask his wife to share his blessings with his son.

The college entrance examination bell rang throughout the campus, and 30 seconds later, a swarm of students rushed down the high steps. I don’t know who started it, and everyone rushed towards the gate.

Song Zhiyu relied on his height to spot his mother outside the crowd at a glance, the beautiful and elegant Ms. Lu of their family.

Ms. Lu sent a big bouquet of brilliant sunflowers and blessed her son, "Mom and dad wish you a gold medal and good grades in the exam!"

"Thank you, mom." Song Zhiyu took the flowers and gave her mother a big hug.

"Is this the last exam?" Seeing her son nodding, she waved the car keys in her hand and said, "Let's go home."

The mother and son were walking side by side towards the parking place. Suddenly, a clear voice called Song Zhiyu.

The boy turned around and saw a girl with long hair and shawl standing shyly not far away. With the encouragement of her companions, she finally bravely stepped towards him.
