Traveling into the 1980s: A Cannon Fodder Female Supporter's Guide to Self-Rescue

This is understandable. Originally, the mountainous area where Cao Dahua's mother's family was located was far away, and it was inconvenient to travel by car during the Chinese New Year.

It would take three people to walk alone, and Niu Niu was still young and lacked physical strength. She would have to be carried for a long distance. Anyway, they might have to walk for a whole day just to go back.

Cao Dahua rarely returns to her parents' home all year round. The last time she and her husband took their children back was only because her father was ill.

During the Chinese New Year, the family is usually not busy, and Qi Yulan is a considerate mother-in-law, so every time she returns to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Dahua will stay with her husband and children for several days.

As a result, when Chang Wu, Mo and Jiang Tang returned home, Chang Zhirong was the only one at home, and he told the couple, "Your mother took Jingyi to do the laundry."

Because of the old custom, there is no washing and sweeping on the first day of the lunar new year. It happened that on the second day of the lunar new year, Qi Yulan had no family to go back with her husband and children.

She has no tolerance for mess. The three of them cleaned up the house together, and then took their daughter to wash clothes.

Jiang Tang was ashamed. Although she didn't like to do some housework, she would ask her sister-in-law to do it for her in a bargain.

Anyway, she always buys some good things for her sister-in-law and Niuniu, and her sister-in-law is happy to help her.

But every time after washing, Jiang Tang would wash his underwear. He was always embarrassed to bother others with these things.

Moreover, her underwear is of a special style purchased from the system mall. It would be difficult to explain if others see it.

Also because of customs, on the thirtieth day, Chang Wumo and Jiang Tang were changed inside and out.

I put all the dirty clothes I had changed away from the inside out and put them aside. I originally planned to wash them when I came back from my parents' house in the second grade of junior high school.

It turned out that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both so diligent. Jiang Tang felt very embarrassed and planned to get two more bottles of cream.

No matter how old a woman is, she should take good care of herself.

The apples brought back were taken out and washed first, and Chang Wumo asked Chang Zhirong to eat them first.

Chang Zhirong's dark face showed a simple and honest smile: "I don't like to eat these."

There is nothing I don't like to eat, it's all for the sake of being a parent, and Chang Wumo naturally knows that.

He said directly: "Dad, Tangtang and I have already eaten. This is specially washed for you. Our mother-in-law asked us to bring this back to honor our two elders. How dare you let her down?"

After saying this, Chang Zhirong really couldn't refuse.

There was a click and I took a bite of the apple. It was so delicious.

The apples are delicious, and the things my son and daughter-in-law brought back are also delicious;

Chang Zhirong knew that his own son did not have such great abilities. Xiao Mo was so good because he had the intelligence of his own parents.

But this child is a good one. Chang Zhirong has never regretted that he almost lost his life in order to save and raise him.

Because Qi Yulan has no natal family to go to, Cao Dahua's natal family is too far away, and Su Huijuan will not go out easily because of her status as a new widow.

As a result, after the second grade of junior high school, there were basically no guests in Lao Chang's house.

It just so happened that my family members got along with each other freely and happily, and one of them had to go to the car and the other to go to the county town to go to school, so we didn’t have time to get along with each other every day.

True to his word, Jiang Tang not only bought cream and hand cream for Qi Yulan and Chang Jingyi.

But she squeezed out all the hand cream and put it into a small jar, otherwise the outer packaging would be too conspicuous and she would ask her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to apply it.

"I bought this from a friend, who said it was specially designed for wiping hands. We women wash and scrub a lot, and our rough hands tend to get calluses and get frozen in the winter. If you wipe them with this, they will be much better." Both Chang Jingyi and Chang Jingyi were very happy, and they heard that the thing was not expensive, so they were willing to dig out a little and rub it on their hands.

Not to mention, after wiping it, my hands felt much moisturized. Qi Yulan originally wanted to ask Jiang Tang if he had left some for his sister-in-law.

He also felt that the second daughter-in-law was not that kind of person, and if she asked, she would be in trouble.

While he was hesitating, Chang Zhirong, who was wandering outside alone with nothing to do, came back and brought two guests.

Although they were said to be guests, they actually didn't have much contact with the Chang family, especially Chang Zhirong. When Jiang Tang saw them for the first time, he was dumbfounded.

What came was a middle-aged man and a child, a child with a thin face and a sallow complexion. Judging from his size, he might be about the same age as Niu Niu.

The man next to the child is very thin, very thin. Judging from their appearance, they should be father and son.

It looks more like them in appearance, because both the father and son are wearing rags, although it is normal for rural people to have patches on their rags.

But the clothes of the father and son in front of him were in tatters and patches beyond Jiang Tang's imagination.

It was Chang Zhirong who brought it back, but it was from Qi Yulan's natal family.

That's not really true. In fact, he and Qi Yulan's parents are not relatives of the same family. They just happen to know the two families and have a twists and turns.

This relative also lives in the mountains. I think the reason why Qi Yulan hired Cao Dahua as her daughter-in-law had something to do with this relative.

Otherwise, Qi Yulan wouldn't know people from so far away, and they were the ones who introduced them to Lao Chang's family.

The daughter-in-law who was married with a hundred pounds of rice is really capable and she really eats a lot.

But this person lives in a more remote place, mainly because Qi Yulan didn't have much contact with them in the past, and she didn't move around much even during the Chinese New Year.

Not to mention Chang Jingyi, even Chang Wumo didn't know him. However, after Chang Zhirong led him in, Qi Yulan called her third brother and said to the children:

"This is your cousin. Third brother, do you remember that you hugged Xiao Mo when he was little?"

It was the Chinese New Year when they suddenly came over, so there must be something urgent, but Qi Yulan couldn't ask rashly right now.

The man called Third Brother, who was so thin that he seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, nodded, "I remember that Xiao Mo is a good boy. He has been smart and capable since he was a child."

Qi Yulan had a smile on her face: "It's a rare trip for third brother. This time I have to stay at my sister's house for a few more days."

Then he explained to his son, daughter-in-law and daughter: "Your cousin's home lives far away, in the mountains even more remote than my sister-in-law's home. It would take at least three or four days for them to come here."

Jiang Tang was shocked, "Doesn't this mean we need to stay overnight on the way?"

Then I realized, if it would take three or four days to come from the mountains, how could there be a hotel for them to stay along the way?

Sure enough, her mother-in-law said again: "There is no place to stay. I will just sleep in the wilderness and find a place to rest for the night."

Sleeping in the wilderness, this winter?

It must have been more than just a New Year greeting. Not only Jiang Tang, she also read the same doubts on the faces of brother and sister Chang Wumo and Chang Jingyi.

No matter what, guests must be entertained when they come, and good wine and good food are indispensable during this Chinese New Year.

Well, forget about the good wine, I don’t have any at home, but the food | color | is quite rich.
