The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.
A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
The bride, Tian Runye, looks beautiful.
"Run Ye, let's have a drink at the bar?" Sun Shaoan was not too impatient.
"Okay." Tian Runye smiled sweetly.
"The ancients had some rules when it came to getting married." Sun Shaoan talked about the interesting things in the bridal chamber of the ancients.
As he spoke, the atmosphere changed.
Sun Shaoan certainly did what he had to do by undressing Luo Shang.
The next day.
Sun Shaoan did not get up early and go up the mountain to cut firewood or hunt.
Tian Runye was still sleeping soundly, and Sun Shaoan slept with her for a while.
It didn't take long.
Tian Runye woke up and called out sweetly, "Brother Shaoan."
"Runye." Sun Shaoan hugged Tian Runye tightly.
Tian Runye married the man she wanted to marry, and her face was filled with happiness.
"We'll go to our parents' place for dinner later." Sun Shaoan can also cook here, but he doesn't do it often, so he only boils hot water and heats the Kang.
"Well, let's get up quickly and go over there to help." Tian Runye was a little anxious, afraid that someone would gossip and say she was a lazy wife.
"Don't worry, it's not bright outside yet."
"No, get up quickly."
The two got up, cleaned up, and went to the Sun family's old kiln.
On this side of the new kiln, Tian Runye and Sun Shaoan live.
The new kiln has two cave dwellings, and Sun Shaoping originally lived in the other cave dwelling.
However, in winter, Sun Shaoping moved to live with Sun Yuhou and others.
This will save you burning more firewood.
Sun's old kiln.
Shaoan's mother is in the yard.
"Mom." Tian Runye called sweetly.
"Run Ye, you guys are here, it's cold outside, come inside quickly, sit down and rest." Shao'an's mother did not ask Tian Runye to work, but asked Tian Runye to rest.
"Mom, I'm not tired. Shall I go and light the fire?"
"No, just let Shaoping burn it." Shao'an's mother asked Tian Runye to sit on the kang and chatted with the old lady, but she didn't let Tian Runye do any work.
"Mom, Run Ye, I'm going to go to the mountains for a walk and I'll be back in a while." Seeing that there was nothing going on, Sun Shaoan had no intention of being idle and wanted to go up the mountains to hunt some pheasants or something.
"Brother, I'll go with you." Sun Lanxiang took a small basket and wanted to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
At such a young age, Sun Lanxiang is so sensible and heartwarming.
"Let's go." Sun Shaoan took the lead.
Sun Lanxiang hurriedly followed.
Sun Shaoping also wanted to follow, but he was burning a fire and couldn't leave.
Of course Tian Runye also wants to go, but she has some physical inconveniences.
"Lan Xiang, how are you studying?" Sun Shaoan took out his slingshot, glanced around, and asked by the way.
"It's okay." Sun Lanxiang was collecting firewood.
"You have to study hard and at least get into high school."
"Brother, do I also want to go to high school?"
"Come on, my family is not short of money now, and we have the conditions for you to go to high school."
"Well, brother, I will definitely study hard."
"Pah!" Sun Shaoan hit a pheasant.
Sun Lanxiang hurriedly ran over to pick up the pheasants, "Brother, there are still pheasants here! Five!"
"Okay, let's go over there and have a look."
Sun Shaoan's accuracy is very good.
Not long.
Three pheasants, two hares, and a bunch of sparrows were shot.
It was about ten past nine o'clock.
Sun Shaoan and Sun Lanxiang returned home.
"Brother Shao'an, we have caught so much game again." Tian Runye hurried out as soon as he heard something moving outside.
At this moment, Tian Runye missed Sun Shaoan a little.
"It's okay, let's stew a chicken today." Sun Shao'an said as he packed up a pheasant.
"I'm going to boil the water." Sun Shaoping came out to take a look and started to light the fire again.
"What's the rush? Let's eat first." Shao'an's mother came out and said.
At this time, it's time to have breakfast.
Shao'an's mother cooked millet porridge, steamed white flour steamed buns, and of course yellow and black flour steamed buns, as well as the leftover vegetables from yesterday.
In addition, two eggs are boiled in the millet porridge. It is said that the eggs cooked in this way are more nutritious.
This breakfast is quite rich.
Sun Yuhou didn't come back to eat. When he left in the morning, he took dry food.
Sun Yuhou still has to work hard in the fields.
"Run Ye, eat eggs." Seeing Tian Runye not eating eggs, Shao'an's mother persuaded her again.
There were two boiled eggs, one for Tian Runye and one for the old lady.
The old lady’s has been eaten.
I’m not embarrassed to eat Tian Runye’s eggs.
"Mom, have you eaten this egg dumpling?"
"Why should I eat it? This is specially cooked for you."
"I, why don't you let Lan Xiang eat it?"
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to eat." Sun Lanxiang said hurriedly.
"Then, this." Tian Runye was still embarrassed to eat.
"Run Ye, eat it, it's mom's wish." Sun Shaoan helped Tian Runye peel the egg shell and brought the egg to Tian Runye's mouth.
At this time, Tian Runye didn't care about the refusal, blushed, and ate.
Had a meal.
Sun Shaoan was just about to pick up the pheasants.
"Shaoan, take a pheasant and a hare and send them to Futang's house." Shaoan's mother ordered.
"Okay." Sun Shaoan agreed.
"No need, right?" Tian Runye stopped him.
"It doesn't matter, Shaoan often comes back from hunting game, so it's nothing." Shaoan's mother said with a smile.
"Runye, let's go together." Sun Shaoan carried the pheasant and hare.
"Should I go too?" Tian Runye thought to himself, is this a return home? The day is not right.
"Why can't you go? Let's go quickly." Sun Shaoan pulled Tian Runye away.
The close proximity between the in-laws and families is convenient.
In the time it took to say a few words, we were visiting each other.
After a while.
Tian Futang's family.
"Shaoan, Runye, why are you here?" Runye's mother was also a little surprised, thinking to herself, this is not the day to go back home.
"Mom, I just shot some pheasants." Sun Shaoan handed the pheasants and hares to Tian Runsheng.
"Brother-in-law, are you going up the mountain again? Take me with you next time." Tian Runsheng, like Sun Shaoping, also wanted to follow Sun Shaoan up the mountain to hunt game.
"Okay, come find me at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Huh? So early? I can't get up."
"Forget it if you can't get up." Sun Shaoan smiled, teasing Tian Runsheng.
"Hurry and sit in the room." Runye's mother hurriedly greeted her, "We'll have lunch at home."
"No need?"
"Why not? Just eat here."
"My mother also cooks."
"Let Runsheng tell you not to do anything to you."
"All right."
Tian Runsheng quickly ran to the Sun family's old kiln and told Shao'an's mother.
For lunch, Runye’s mother made a rich meal.
The pheasants and rabbits brought by Sun Shaoan were cooked.
There was also bacon, five or six dishes prepared, and dumplings cooked.
He even cooked an egg for each of Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye.
"Eat more." Run Ye's mother seemed to be afraid that Sun Shaoan would be hungry, so she kept asking Sun Shaoan to eat more meat.
"Okay, okay." Sun Shaoan could only keep eating.
"Shaoan, are you going to teach the mushroom farming to people in other villages?" Tian Futang asked.
"No, I don't have time to teach this."
"It's fine if we don't have any. Our village can make more money by raising mushrooms." Tian Futang has selfish motives and doesn't want people from other villages to learn to grow mushrooms.
"Dad, have you bought a bicycle?" Sun Shaoan saw a new bicycle with cloth wrapped around the crossbar.
"Yes, the tickets obtained at Shigejie Commune also belong to Fei Ge." Tian Futang was a little proud.
In Shuangshui Village, there are only two bicycles.
One belongs to Sun Shaoan, and the other belongs to him, Tian Futang.
Sun Shaoan is also his son-in-law Tian Futang.
Look at this, it’s a coincidence, isn’t it?
"I heard that bicycle tickets, watch tickets, etc. are in greater supply." As time goes by, bicycles, sewing machines, watches and other products are becoming more and more available, and tickets are no longer so scarce.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, from now on, it won't be that hard to buy bicycles and stuff like that."
"In that case, I'll ask again to see if I can get a watch ticket to buy Runsheng a watch." Since Sun Shaoping got a watch, Tian Runsheng has also been pestering Tian Futang and wants a watch.
Had lunch at Tian Futang's house.
In the afternoon, Tian Runsheng pestered Sun Shaoan to go hunting in the mountains.
Sun Shaoping also followed.
Tian Runye chatted with the old lady at home and knitted woolen gloves.
Mountain.
"Pah!" Sun Shaoan shot another pheasant.
"Hit again, Brother Shaoan, you are so powerful!" Tian Runsheng was very happy.
Usually, when Tian Runsheng and Sun Shaoping go up the mountain, they basically can't hit anything.
In the entire Shuangshui Village, Sun Shaoan was the best at shooting slingshots and could shoot pheasants and rabbits.
Others who want to hunt pheasants and rabbits use guns.
"Brother, let me try." Sun Shaoping was eager to try.
"Okay, you guys play for a while, and I'll chop some firewood."
Have fun for a while.
When going down the mountain.
Sun Shaoan shot three more pheasants, two hares, and a bunch of sparrows.
A large bundle of firewood was also chopped.
Let Tian Runsheng bring back a pheasant, a hare, and many sparrows.
It’s thirty in the blink of an eye.
Recently.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye are both staying in Shuangshui Village.
Tian Runye's school has been closed.
Sun Shaoan took a leave of absence and was able to stay at home for many days during the Spring Festival.
Sun Shaoan was not idle at home, either going hunting in the mountains or busy with housework.
The New Year's Eve dinner was cooked by Sun Shaoan. It was very rich and tasted very good. The family was very happy to eat it.
A few days later.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye visited relatives and friends.
The Sun family is an outsider in Shuangshui Village and does not have many relatives.
Tian Runye has many relatives here.
Basically every household in Tianjia Lao is a relative of Tian Runye's family.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye paid New Year greetings together.
I also brought some gifts, either game or bacon, which were pretty good.
Sun Lanhua and Zhang Shengwen also came and brought a lot of things.
Because Sun Shaoan was promising, Sun Lanhua had some status in the Zhang family.
Relatives from other villages, Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye, also went there on bicycles.
Soon, the Spring Festival holiday will be over.
Sun Shaoan has to go to work.
Tian Runye also went to the county seat.
this day.
morning.
"Mom, Dad, Shaoping, Lanxiang, no need to send them off." Waving goodbye, Sun Shaoan took Tian Runye on his bicycle to Yuanxi County.
"Shaoan, wait." As soon as he set off, someone was chasing after him on a bicycle. It was Tian Futang.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Sun Shaoan stopped.
"It's okay, I'll go to the Stone Ge Festival with you." Tian Futang was a little reluctant to leave his daughter. He happened to have something to go to the Stone Ge Festival, so he dropped in to see Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye off.
"Let's go." Sun Shaoan greeted and continued on his way.
"Shaoan, Runye, remember to go to Fujun's house." Tian Futang warned.
Tian Fujun didn't come back during the New Year.
Logically speaking, Tian Fujun should bring his family back.
"Remember, we'll go in the afternoon." Sun Shaoan actually didn't want to go to Tian Fujun's house.
In order to avoid suspicion, Tian Fujun rarely came to Shuangshui Village. But this is a bit much.
Tian Fujun is a person who doesn't care about anything just for work.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Fujun also had little contact.
Tian Fujun helped recommend the job at the veterinary station.
Sun Shaoan owed Tian Fujun a favor.
However, after working until now, Sun Shaoan has been down-to-earth and conscientious, and has indeed done something.
Let the production brigades in the original West County raise more pigs and increase their grain production.
This solid result is very beneficial to Tian Fujun.
Because Tian Fujun is responsible for this aspect.
This can be regarded as repaying Tian Fujun's favor.
Arrive at An Yeju.
"It's so cold!" I haven't lit a fire for several days and it's very cold at home.
Sun Shaoan quickly lit the fire.
Tian Runye was not idle either, preparing to collect water and clean up.
"Don't rush to moisten the leaves, the water pipes are frozen." Winter in the north is very cold.
If there is no fire in the house, the water jars and pipes will freeze.
"what is it now?"
"Let's make some food to boil water and eat, and then we'll take care of things when we get back from your second dad's house in the afternoon."
"good."
Had a simple meal.
The water pipes haven't thawed yet.
Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye went to Tian Fujun's house.
Tian Fujun, Tian Xiaochen, and Tian Xiaoxia are not here.
"Second mother, what is my second father busy with?"
"They went to Huangyuan. Is everything fine at home?"
"Everything is fine."
Chat with Xu Aiyun for a few words.
Without staying long, Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye left.
Back home.
The water pipes still haven't thawed.
Sun Shaoan boiled water to pour water on the pipe, and then it slowly thawed.
No one has lived in it for more than ten days, and there is dust everywhere in the house.
The two of them quickly cleaned up.
I was busy until night before I packed up and got ready to go to bed.
"Run Ye, the ancients had secret techniques in the house." Sun Shaoan talked about the ancients again.
Undressing Luo Shang, it was another sweet and happy night.
the next day.
Sun Shaoan got up first to make breakfast.
Tian Runye is still sleeping soundly.
It's not that Tian Runye is snoozing, it's that she is tired.
Breakfast was ready and Tian Runye woke up.
The two of them were tired and had breakfast.
"You sleep a little longer, I'll go to work." Sun Shao'an had to go to work.
Tian Runye hasn't started school yet, so she doesn't have to go to school yet.
Before noon.
Sun Shaoan came back from get off work early.
Tian Runye has already picked vegetables and is ready to cook.
"I'll just come." Sun Shaoan stepped forward to help.
"Brother Shaoan, are you still reading the high school textbooks?" Tian Runye found on the desk that there were books that Sun Shaoan was reading, including high school textbooks. It seemed that Sun Shaoan was still reading them.
"right."
"Why are you reading high school textbooks?" Tian Runye was puzzled.
"Run Ye, do you know about the recommendation for college?" Sun Shaoan asked without answering.
"I know, but it shouldn't be our turn, right?" Tian Runye is self-aware and doesn't think she can be recommended to go to college.
“I also feel that it’s not our turn.
But what if we have the chance to go to college? "
"just in case?"
"Yes, Runye, it's been a few years since we graduated from high school.
I have almost forgotten all the knowledge I learned in high school.
But if we have the opportunity to go to college and forget all the high school knowledge, wouldn’t it be troublesome? "
The reason why Sun Shaoan said this was not because he wanted to be recommended to go to college.
Instead, he was preparing to take the college entrance examination and enter university with Tian Runye in 1977.
Why go to college?
Because Sun Shaoan wanted to go out and change some things, so going to college was a suitable reason.
"It seems so." Although Tian Runye felt that what Sun Shaoan said was a bit outrageous, he did not refute Sun Shaoan.
"Let's read books and learn more knowledge when we have time. There is no harm in it."
"That's right."
After lunch.
In the afternoon, Sun Shaoan continued to work.
There was a cow in a nearby village who was sick. Sun Shaoan treated the cow and gave him medicine, which made his clothes dirty.
Back home.
Tian Runye hurriedly washed Sun Shaoan's clothes.
Next.
Time passes day by day.
The days after Sun Shaoan and Tian Runye got married were of course sweet and happy.
Just two months later.
"Ugh" Tian Runye is pregnant.
