Reborn as a widow in the 70s

There are three adobe houses on the north side of the courtyard. On the left and right sides are the bedrooms of Wang Manhe, his wife and several children.

In the middle is the main room, with a simple Eight Immortals table and a few benches, which are usually used for eating.

There is a stove on each side of the main room connected to the earthen kang in the left and right rooms.

The beams and yellowed wallpaper that were blackened by fireworks are what most rural households look like today.

Song Dahong took out the brown sugar at home and made a cup of thick brown sugar water for her second sister.

This is considered the highest standard of hospitality in rural areas today.

Song Xiuxiu took the teapot handed over by her eldest sister and took a sip.

So sweet!

The eldest sister is still the same as before, always leaving the best things for her younger sisters!

"Little sister, why did you come here suddenly!"

Song Dahong sat next to Song Xiuxiu and asked, holding her hands tightly.

Song Xiuxiu didn't mince words, she went straight to the point and said, "Sister, I'm here to ask you and my brother-in-law to help us!"

"Second sister, have you encountered any difficulties? If you want me to help you, as long as the eldest sister can do it, there will be no ambiguity!"

Seeing her eldest sister's anxious look, Song Xiuxiu quickly told the whole story.

When Song Dahong heard that he was asked to manage a clothing factory, Song Dahong was confused.

"Your eldest brother-in-law and I are both farmers who don't know anything. Don't turn around and you won't be of any help. Instead, you'll be in trouble!"

Song Xiuxiu: "Sister, if you don't know how, we can learn. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me and my little sister."

"Didn't I step by step from an illiterate rural woman to where I am now!"

Hearing this, Song Dahong was still worried and said: "Your eldest brother-in-law graduated from junior high school. I have learned some words from him in the past few years. The commonly used words are not difficult for me, but I am afraid..."

"Sister, don't worry, my little sister and I will take care of everything!"

Song Dahong thought for a moment, and then said: "If we go there, if we don't do well, don't say anything out of concern for your face."

"Sister, don't worry about this. Even if I don't say anything, my little sister can't hold back her temper!"

Song Dahong thought about it, but that was the case.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with your eldest brother-in-law that night."

The two sisters talked about the current situation of Sanhong and Sihong, and the sky turned dark before they knew it.

Wang Manhe also came back from the fields carrying a hoe.

Behind him were two half-grown boys.

Wang Manhe was a man who was not good at words. After briefly greeting Song Xiuxiu, he went to chop firewood and cook.

The remaining children greeted their second aunt politely.

Song Dahong gave birth to three sons in total.

The eldest is 13 years old and his name is Wang Jiaxing, the second eldest Wang Jiawang is ten years old, and the youngest Wang Jiakuo is just five years old.

Song Xiuxiu took out the gifts she had brought to several children.

Since I didn’t know much about the situation here before, all I bought this time were snacks and candies that children love to eat. ·

After distributing them to the children, Song Xiuxiu took out a box of exquisitely packaged nutritional supplements, two bottles of wine and some fabrics.

"Second sister, I bought this for my children's grandparents."

In rural areas, if a large family has not separated, visiting relatives will naturally prepare a gift for the elderly person in the family. However, if the family separation has been completed and the elderly are not living together, then this is not necessary.

Song Dahong has already separated her family and does not live with the old man, so Song Xiuxiu does not need to prepare gifts for the old man.

"Second sister, I've already divided our families, and I'm asking you to spend an extra share of money!"

"Sister, this money is not in vain!" Song Xiuxiu said with a smile.

"First of all, it's because you have been alone in your husband's family for so many years. If you have any difficulties, we can't support you. I brought these things to the second elder to tell their family that you also have a mother-in-law!"

Hearing what his second sister said, Song Dahong couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although her father-in-law and mother-in-law are very understanding people in this family, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law often complain about her not having a biological family, especially when visiting relatives during the holidays.

At first I felt aggrieved, but as time went by I became numb.

Now that the second sister told herself that she would have a family in the future, Song Dahong could no longer control her tears.

Song Xiuxiu understood how she felt, and she also got through it this way.

Seeing her eldest sister shed tears, she couldn't help but get wet in her eyes.

"Sister, don't cry. We sisters rely on each other. No one can bully us!"

Hearing this, Song Dahong smiled.

This is what I often said to my sisters before.

Seeing that the eldest sister's mood had calmed down, Song Xiucai continued.

"In addition to saving face for you, another reason I want to bribe your parents-in-law is that I'm afraid they won't let you go!"

Song Dahong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then picked up those things and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

The Wang parents did not live with their sons. They lived alone in a small courtyard at the end of the village.

Although both elderly people are over sixty years old, they are strong and energetic.

Song Xiuxiu stayed there for a while with her eldest sister and then left.

During this period, Song Dahong did not tell her about going to the capital. She felt that she should discuss this matter with her man first.

By the time they got home, Wang Manhe had already prepared the meal.

Not only did he kill an old hen at home, but he also asked his sons to go to the river to catch some small fish and shrimps with fishing nets, and then fried two plates of home-grown vegetables. Two meat and two vegetables were quite abundant.

Song Xiuxiu didn't have a deep impression of this eldest brother-in-law, but from the moment of contact, he was a good man who cared about his family.

In the evening, Wang Manhe went to the children's house, where Song Dahong and Song Xiuxiu lived together.

After everything was settled, Song Dahong called Wang Manhe into the yard and told him about going to the capital to help his sisters manage the clothing factory.

As soon as he heard that he was going to the capital, Wang Manhe immediately looked embarrassed.

"The children are still young, the parents are older, and the family still has several acres of land, so there is nowhere to go!"

"If that doesn't work, let your sister find someone else. We really don't have time."

Seeing that her man refused directly, Song Dahong didn't bother to argue with him.

"Go to sleep and ask your parents tomorrow!"

After saying that, he entered the house.

Wang Manhe thought to himself that at such an old age, his parents would definitely not allow him to travel far away, so it was useless to ask.

After Song Dahong walked into the room, Song Xiuxiu asked in a low voice: "Sister, what should I do if my eldest brother-in-law doesn't agree?"

It wasn't that Song Xiuxiu meant to eavesdrop. The house was so big and the sound insulation was not good, so conversations in the yard could naturally be heard clearly in the house.

Seeing that the second sister was a little worried, Song Dahong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let my mother-in-law repair him tomorrow!"

"Your mother-in-law? Will she agree?"

That was her biological son, how could he talk to the eldest sister.

Although she looked kind when she saw her today, Song Xiuxiu could never forget the scene when her eldest sister's mother-in-law came to the door.

Song Xiuxiu felt that her mother Lu would be ashamed if she saw him with her arms akimbo and scolding, so she became a disciple on the spot.

After hearing the second sister's question, Song Dahong said with a smile: "Although my mother-in-law is more powerful, she is sensible and open-minded."

Although Song Xiuxiu still doesn't believe it, this is someone else's family matter after all, and she shouldn't interfere too much, as long as the eldest sister doesn't suffer!
