Chapter 61 The things must have been sent back to her parents’ home

After that day, Fu Chunmei was obviously better to San Ni than before. Although she still couldn’t compare to her two sons, at least she wasn’t biased to the point where Shen Zhiyu couldn’t stand it anymore. She didn’t know if it was because of what she had said to Fu Chunmei in front of San Ni, but San Ni became even closer to Shen Zhiyu.

Every time she hadn’t even reached her, she would call Shen Zhiyu “aunt” warmly. It made Fu Chunmei feel uncomfortable several times, she said, “People who don’t know would think she’s your daughter, she’s more affectionate to you than to me.” Shen Zhiyu didn’t bother with her, she stuffed a candy into her hand, and she immediately became happy again. The army was different from factories and other units, they didn’t have as many holidays.

 In addition, Gu Ye had taken two trips home to visit relatives and for personal reasons this year, although he didn’t have any tasks for this year’s New Year, he didn’t have any holidays either. Plus, Shen Zhiyu was getting bigger and bigger now.

Although Gu Ye dragged her out for walks every day, her body wasn’t inconvenient or anything. But it was definitely not good for her to be pregnant and squeeze with people on a train. So she wrote a letter home, saying that she wouldn’t go back for the New Year this year. She wasn’t going back, but she thought that during the holidays, married children, even if they had moved out, would still go back with some things to see their parents.

They also sent ten yuan each to their parents on both sides, not favoring one over the other. Of course, they also had their own reasons for sending this money. Before, Shen Zhiyu wrote a letter back saying that she was pregnant, Chen Cui Juan and Gu Mu both said that they would come to take care of her after she gave birth. Now Shen Zhiyu’s belly was getting bigger and bigger, although they hadn’t mentioned the matter of giving birth, they were actually quite worried. Especially now that they were far away from home, they didn’t have any relatives around. Sending some money back was also a way to maintain family ties. It also made them feel more at ease. It was cold in the mountains in winter, and a few days after the letter was sent, it snowed heavily.

The army had issued new army coats this year, when they went out, Gu Ye directly wrapped Shen Zhiyu in it, it was like a blanket, so warm. She also had gloves, a scarf, and a hat, and Shen Zhiyu was wrapped up tightly. She looked like a bear, although she looked messy, she was warm. It was so cold, Shen Zhiyu looked at the man, he was only wearing a sweater and a thin coat, she frowned and said, “You’re wearing the army coat, what are you wearing?”

 “I’m not cold.” Shen Zhiyu touched his hand, it was warm inside, but it was cold outside, and there was such a strong wind, his clothes weren’t windproof, the wind really made her bones ache. After Shen Zhiyu said it several times, he finally agreed to put on his old army coat. When they went out, they looked in the mirror, the couple was wearing the same clothes, it was quite interesting. Shen Zhiyu liked it, and Gu Ye’s eyes softened a lot.

 He had been through this every winter before, he wasn’t a cold person. At least in the army, he ate well and was warm, and his family would write letters every winter saying how cold it was at home, and Gu Ye would send back the new army coat or other warm supplies issued by the army. If Shen Zhiyu hadn’t come, Gu Ye would have probably sent back the new army coat this year.

As they walked out together, a bone-chilling cold wind hit them. It was also mixed with snowflakes. Gu Ye wasn’t wearing a scarf, his face hurt from the wind, and he couldn’t open his eyes. But he wasn’t cold at all. Shen Zhiyu shrank her neck, her whole face was buried in the scarf and hat, only her eyes were exposed, she exclaimed excitedly, “This coat is really warm! I’m not cold at all!” She even wanted to find a way to buy one for Chen Cui Juan. Gu Ye nodded slightly, he only realized now that army coats were so warm. His old one was so warm, the new one would definitely be even warmer. They discussed having cabbage and pork soup for dinner. Thinking of the hot soup, they suddenly felt that winter wasn’t so cold anymore. This cold snap was nationwide.

 It was also cold in their hometown. When they received the letter, Gu Mu was urging Gu Fu to write a letter to Gu Ye. Jin Fengyan was pregnant again. She didn’t know if it was because Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyu had given Shen Zhiyu a dowry and built a new house for her when they got married, which had stimulated her, she had been holding her breath. This time, her belly was lucky enough to be pregnant again, she had to win back this breath. She was either uncomfortable here or uncomfortable there. Anyway, she wanted to eat meat, white flour, and sugar! Gu Mu almost lost her temper several times. But Jin Fengyan said that she had gone to see someone, and this baby was a son, Gu Mu reluctantly endured it. In the past, most of the money Gu Ye sent back was spent on his wedding. Gu Mu still had some money left, and she hadn’t spent all the money for building a house for Gu Ye and the others, but she couldn’t withstand Jin Fengyan’s extravagance.

The harvest was not good this year, and they probably wouldn’t get much money from their work points at the end of the year. The money Gu Ye sent back in the second half of this year was also getting less and less, and seeing that their income was decreasing and their expenses were increasing, Gu Mu’s heart was burning. The letter hadn’t even been sent out yet when Gu Ye’s letter came back. As soon as the postman left, everyone in the family gathered around eagerly. They thought it would be a big package, but when they saw that it was just a letter, they were almost directly writing disappointment on their faces, “Why didn’t you send back some thick clothes and shoes?

” Gu Mu’s face wasn’t good either, she pursed her lips. She knew that she shouldn’t have agreed to let Shen Zhiyu go with him to the army. That girl was too close to her family, she must be trying to get good things from her family and use Gu Ye’s things to help her family.

“He probably sent money.” Gu Mu forced herself to finish, opened the envelope, and inside was indeed 10 yuan and some grain and meat tickets. Jin Fengyan saw it and immediately slumped her face, “Only 10 yuan? What can you do with 10 yuan!

The second son is too stingy, he forgot about his parents after getting married, he really forgot about his mother after marrying a wife.” “Okay, let’s see what it says in the letter.” Gu Fu finished reading the letter and said, “It doesn’t say anything, it just says that he won’t be coming back for the New Year this year.” Gu Ye had rarely come back before, so they weren’t surprised, they were even relieved. After Jin Fengyan got pregnant, she said that there wasn’t enough room at home, so she moved into the new house that was built for Gu Ye and Shen Zhiyu. Gu Mu felt guilty, so she only let her sleep there at night. Chen Cui Juan and Shen Da He were clever, they would come over to look at the house from time to time, to see if they had moved in. So they only let Jin Fengyan sleep there at night.

But this could deceive Chen Cui Juan, if Shen Zhiyu and Gu Ye came back, they definitely wouldn’t be able to hide it. Now, although everyone didn’t say it out loud, they didn’t want them to come back. Jin Fengyan had thought that her brother-in-law would send back an army coat this year, she was thinking that she was pregnant this year, maybe her mother-in-law would give her the army coat to wear. But he didn’t send any. Jin Fengyan was disappointed, she really wanted an army coat, and she planned to wear it back to her family’s house to show off.

 She muttered softly, “Did his wife send it to her family?” Gu Hu heard this and was unhappy, “Why would we send our stuff to her family?” Gu Mu and Gu Fu didn’t say anything, but they were also thinking about this possibility. They planned to go to Shen Da He and Chen Cui Juan’s house later to find out.
