Accidentally entered a high gate

He won't be that unlucky.

Ma Lifeng quickly banished that possibility from his mind. "Big sister, don't worry, I won't bully Chunfang. The first time I saw Chunfang, I felt she should be my wife. Big sister, big brother-in-law, come in and sit down."

Zheng Chunying: "Remember what you said, we still have to go to work this afternoon." Although she had married into the town, she was still a farmer and had to work. "Chunfang, your older sister is leaving."

Zheng Chunfang wanted to go out as soon as she heard her older sister's voice. But before she even reached the door, she heard her sister threatening her husband. She immediately decided to wait a while before going out.

When Zheng Chunfang heard her older sister say she was leaving, she quickly came out of the kitchen. As soon as she came out, she saw that her brother-in-law's face was covered in scratches.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Did her brother-in-law offend her sister again? Why doesn't her brother-in-law learn his lesson? "Sister, don't go yet, I need to talk to you about something."

Hearing this, Zheng Chunying carried the child and walked towards her. "Let's talk in the kitchen." Her husband was good in every way, except he was a bit of a chatterbox.

"it is good."

Once inside the kitchen, Zheng Chunfang told Zheng Chunying about her pregnancy, her decision to repeat junior high school, and the reactions of the people in Yanhe Brigade when they found out. "I reckon it'll reach the town in less than three days. Don't misunderstand my mother-in-law like they do; she's really good to me."

Zheng Chunfang grew up with Zheng Chunying.

Zheng Chunying knew from her expression that she was telling the truth. "I understand, sister. Why do you want to go to junior high school again? If you don't work, will your man be able to support you and your two children?"

"Yes. When my husband went to the countryside, my mother-in-law, my eldest brother-in-law, my second brother-in-law, and my eldest and second sisters-in-law gave him a lot of food coupons." Zheng Chunfang was too embarrassed to say that her eldest and second nephews, as well as her eldest niece, also gave him some.

Zheng Chunying felt somewhat relieved after hearing this. "How many food coupons do you have now?"

After Zheng Chunfang told Zheng Chunying, Zheng Chunying couldn't help but click her tongue twice. "You've really married into a lucky family. Since you won't go hungry, go ahead and miss them. Do you even know what you should be careful about when you're pregnant?"

"I know. My grandma, my mother, and my mother-in-law all told me."

"That's fine then. I'm leaving now, you can cook."

"Can Hongxia eat canned food now? If so, I'll get her a bottle." Zheng Chunying's daughter is named Hongxia.

"No. Don't let go so easily. Didn't you see Grandma already gave Hongxia a can of malted milk powder?"

"Hehe... I only gave it to Hongxia because she's my own niece. I wouldn't give it to anyone else who asked me for it."

"That's more like it. Alright, your older sister is leaving now. If he bullies you, ask someone to send a message to her."

"Okay." Zheng Chunfang touched Hongxia's little face and followed her older sister out of the kitchen.

As soon as the two sisters came out, they saw Ma Lifeng and Sun Yaoguang standing awkwardly in the yard.

Both sisters wanted to laugh.

Zheng Chunying: "Brother-in-law, if you're too busy, just ask someone to pass on a message to your eldest sister, and she'll ask your brother-in-law to help you."

"Thank you, big sister."

"Don't mention it. Sister's leaving now, you guys get back to your work."

"Big sister, I'll take you there. Brother-in-law, please... um... protect big sister and Hongxia."

Sun Yaoguang: "..." I really hope his sister-in-law is as fierce as his wife! "No need to see me off. Honey, let me hold the baby. You must be tired after holding him for so long."

Zheng Chunying glanced at him, snorted, and left with her daughter in her arms.

Sun Yaoguang quickly followed.

Once outside the village, Sun Yaoguang again asked to hold the child.

Zheng Chunying gently tapped the malted milk powder in her daughter's arms. "How are we going to divide this when we get back?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yaoguang quickly said, "Why divide it? Give one bowl to Dajun and one to Erjun to taste, the rest are for my daughter." Dajun and Erjun are his elder brother's sons.

Zheng Chunying was satisfied.

Zheng Chunying gave her daughter to Sun Yaoguang.

Sun Yaoguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. He would never again say that his sister-in-law must have used some tricks to force Ma Zhiqing to marry her.

After the couple reconciled, they quickened their pace and headed towards the town.

On the other side, Ma Lifeng watched Zheng Chunying and Sun Yaoguang walk away and then touched his face. "Wife, if I make you angry, you won't bear to scratch my face, will you? I'm so good-looking."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Her man is so cute. "I can't bear to part with him."

Ma Lifeng was relieved. "How did your older sister and brother-in-law meet?"

"My eldest sister went to the commune to handle some business, and my brother-in-law also happened to be there. He saw that my eldest sister was quite eloquent, so he asked someone to come to my house to propose marriage to her."

He guessed that his brother-in-law had walked right into a trap.

He had just finished thinking when Wang Shougeng came in from the doorway. Seeing that they were both there, Wang Shougeng said, "I went to the county to ask, and they said it's okay."

Zheng Chunfang was very pleased to hear this. "Thank you, Uncle Wang. Please come inside."

"No, thank you. You guys go ahead with your work." With that, Wang Shougeng turned to leave.

Ma Lifeng pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. "Uncle Wang, have a smoke before you go."

This is acceptable.

Wang Shougeng chatted with Ma Lifeng for a while, smoked a cigarette, and then left. As he was leaving, Ma Lifeng offered him another cigarette. He tucked it behind his ear and left.

After the start of the school year, Zheng Chunfang went to junior high school. Zheng Xinhua and Zheng Jianhua also went to school. Zheng Xinhua went to high school in the county town, while Zheng Jianhua went to junior high school in the town.

Those who were envious that Zheng Chunfang married into a wealthy family began to sympathize with her again.

Unfortunately, before they could sympathize with her enough, they discovered that Zheng Chunfang's belly was getting bigger and bigger.

Those who were jealous of Zheng Chunfang started saying that judging from her belly, she was probably carrying a girl.

Some people considered reporting Zheng Chunfang to the committee for using her studies as an excuse to evade labor. However, after thinking about the fact that the head of the county's armed forces department had come to see Ma Lifeng in person, they decided against it.

Time flies, and sixty-nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Chunfang is about to give birth.

In rural areas, very few people go to hospitals to give birth; even if they do, it's usually after labor has started.

As a result, Ma Lifeng insisted on going ahead of time.

He went to the brigade headquarters to ask the brigade leader for leave, but the brigade leader refused.

As soon as the captain finished speaking, he started to cry. "Captain, I'm scared."

The battalion commander and the others in the battalion headquarters: "..." Those who know would think it was you who gave birth, but those who don't would think it was your wife who gave birth.

The captain looked at the others...

What could the others do when they saw Ma Lifeng crying in fear?

Accountant: "How about we have him take his wife to the hospital to wait beforehand?"

Vice Captain: "Yes. It's normal for him to be scared, it's his first time becoming a father."

Women's Director: "Yes, look, he's so scared he's crying."

What else could the captain do?

The captain had no choice but to approve it.

Zheng Fugui, Tian Erya, Zheng Daniu, and Li Guihua all expected the brigade leader to refuse their leave, but Ma Lifeng went there and brought back the leave slips in no time.

Zheng Fugui, Tian Erya, Zheng Daniu, and Li Guihua: "..." Why is the brigade leader so easy to talk to?

Since Ma Lifeng had already retrieved the leave slip, Zheng Fugui and the others couldn't say anything more.

Tian Erya took her things for childbirth and went to the county hospital with Ma Lifeng and Zheng Chunfang.

The Zheng family couldn't possibly let Ma Lifeng take Zheng Chunfang to the hospital alone, and Ma Lifeng also felt he couldn't handle it by himself. When he asked for leave, he asked for leave along with Tian Erya.

The people in the riverside brigade knew that Ma Lifeng had taken Zheng Chunfang to the county hospital early on. They thought Ma Lifeng was wasting money, but they also felt that the brigade leader was too lenient with Ma Lifeng.

They had barely finished discussing it when the deputy captain, the accountant, and the women's director told them that Ma Lifeng had been so frightened he was crying.

The people from the riverside brigade: "..." Why are you crying?! You're such a big guy, what a waste.
