Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Gu Jinyan returned to the village on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, along with Ke Jianjun, who went home to visit relatives. Coincidentally, on this trip back from the car, I met Ke Jianjun, who came out of the army and was about to take the car home.

Early the next morning, Gu Jinyan went to the town to buy New Year's goods.

Gu Jinyan gave the prepared New Year gifts, regardless of the expressions on Gu Dahe and Huang Xiuju's faces that they wanted to speak but didn't dare. Putting things down, Gu Jinyan greeted Gu Zhirong to speak in her room.

Looking at Gu Zhirong, who was still thin and black, Gu Jinyan sighed lightly. Although it was hard for him to go out for a sports car, he ate well. In the past half year, he has gained a lot of meat and became stronger.

"How are you doing recently?"

Gu Zhirong hesitated for a while, but nodded.

Since July, her parents have been very kind to her. Except for work, they don't let her do much of the housework. They told her to play by herself, and she gets as much food as her sister. Coupled with the fact that her brother often brought her extra food, she is much better now than before.

I don't know what happened to my brother and my parents. My father became silent, and my mother was even more unhappy.

She asked her parents and brother, but they didn't tell her.

In addition, since my sister graduated and went to work in a sugar factory, my parents seem to be saving more. The food at home is a lot worse, and there are no eggs in the morning.

Gu Jinyan thought for a while and asked, "Do you remember Ke Jianjun, who went to serve as a soldier in the village?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Gu Zhirong blinked, not understanding why her brother asked this suddenly.

"He is now the company commander of the army in the provincial capital. My brother thinks that he is very good." In the

original book, Ke Jianjun was mentioned from the mouths of the villagers. He was the second most promising person in the village except Gu Zhimei. The lazy mother-in-law of her parents' family, who was savage and had dirty hands and feet, basically offended everyone, and everyone felt sorry for him. If his wife didn't hold back, he would have achieved more than just the battalion commander.

Along the way, Gu Jinyan thought of letting Gu Zhirong marry him.

In the original book, Gu Zhirong had a small dowry, and her mother-in-law had opinions as soon as she entered the house. Later, she gave birth to a daughter with her first child, and she was often embarrassed. Her husband was a fool and filial piety and never stood up for her. Gu Jinyan didn't want Gu Dahe and his wife to marry Gu Zhirong to him again.

Gu Zhirong heard the sound of her brother's words, blushed ashamed, turned around and wanted to run.

Gu Jinyan grabbed her arm.

Gu Zhirong couldn't break Gu Jinyan's hand, her face flushed with shame, she covered her face with her hands, lowered her head and said, "I listen

to you ." Just tell my brother." Gu Jinyan said.

When Gu Jinyan went out, he mentioned this to Gu Dahe and Huang Xiuju, and asked them to find out.

Huang Xiuju looked at Gu Jinyan's expression carefully, and said, "You and Amei are not married, isn't it inappropriate to tell Arong about them now?

" , I came back to visit relatives this time to solve personal problems. It’s not like my sister got married first and my brother married in the village.” Gu Jinyan said.

"Let's tell Amei first." Gu Dahe said, Ke Jianjun is indeed a good boy, it would be a pity to miss it. If they were to show A Rong Xiang first, the villagers would have to gossip, saying that their uncles and aunts did not behave properly, skipping their nieces and finding a good family for their daughters.

Now that there are enough gossip about them, they have lost face for half a lifetime, but they can't be given another chance to talk.

"Mom, what do you think about Dad?" Gu Jinyan looked at Huang Xiuju and asked.

Huang Xiuju said cautiously, "It doesn't make sense for my sister to tell others about it first."

Gu Jinyan sneered: "I just told my sister about this. If you are not afraid that your sister will also be heartbroken by you, you can just tell Gu Zhimei."

"No, just tell A Rong." Huang Xiuju couldn't take it anymore when she thought that her daughter was just as cold to them as her son and didn't care about them anymore.

Gu Dahe felt bitter in his heart. He clearly loved his children very much. The couple were reluctant to eat and wear, just to make their children have a better life. In the end, the son blamed them.

"Ayan, you know, I am the captain because of Amei. If it is not good for Amei, others will not have to poke the spine. We owe you brothers and sisters over the years, you must believe that we love you. "Gu Dahe spoke with difficulty.

"Haha~" Gu Jinyan had nothing to say to them, so he got up and left.

Love them, whether it's the original book or now, not spending money on Gu Zhimei to find a job.

"Ayan, Ayan~" Huang Xiuju shouted from behind.

Gu Jinyan didn't look back.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Huang Xiuju came to him and said that tomorrow Ke Jianjun will come to see him and ask him if he wants to go home. A submissive look, afraid that he will be angry.

The meeting went well. Considering that Ke Jianjun's holiday was short, the two families discussed that the sixth day of the first lunar month was an auspicious day, a good day for marriage.

Of course, everyone knows that Gu Zhirong first got married with her older brother and sister, especially her older sister, and she had a very good partner and seldom gossip.

The day before the wedding, Gu Jinyan brought over the prepared dowry, a pair of watches, a pair of kettles, two enamel washbasins, a pair of enamel cups, half a piece of really good cloth, and half a piece of black cotton cloth.

Seeing the dowry that her brother had prepared for her, Gu Zhirong couldn't help throwing herself into her brother's arms and crying softly.

Her parents only prepared two quilts, a pair of pillows, and two cages for her. Ke Jianjun took her to buy the two new clothes. What my mother said was that there was no money in the family, so I could only aggrieved her, and I would supply her when the family was relaxed, so that she could be more considerate.

She was very aggrieved, but she could only accept it.

"The eldest girl is still crying. Others know it, but they are going to laugh at you." Gu Jinyan joked. Gu

Zhirong was embarrassed when her brother said that. She came out of her brother's arms and wiped away her tears.

"This is my brother, the bottom money for you." Gu Jinyan took out five pieces of great unity.

"I can't ask for it." Gu Zhirong pushed it back, what her brother gave was enough, she could no longer be greedy. My brother hasn't even started a family yet, so there are more places to spend money.

"Brother can make money now, and it's not bad. You are my sister, others have it, and my brother can't wrong you, just live a good life in the future." Gu Jinyan couldn't help but put it into Gu Zhirong's hands. Gu Zhirong was raised with a cowardly temperament, and more dowry can give more confidence. The Ke family can also take a high look at the face of the dowry.

In fact, Gu Jinyan didn't have a deep brother-sister relationship with Gu Zhirong, but just pity this little girl and make her live better. Gu Jinyan is also willing to contribute.

Gu Jinyan went on to say: "My brother asked, and he said he would apply with the army when he returned to the army. When the application is received, my brother will take you with me when I go to the provincial capital. You don't have to be afraid. My brother often goes to the provincial capital by car. I 'll see you in time."

"I'm not afraid." Gu Zhirong said that with a brother who loves her so much, she is not afraid of anything.

Their brothers and sisters were full of warmth, Gu Dahe and Huang Xiuju bowed their heads in shame, they knew that they were useless as parents and failed to give their daughter a decent dowry. It is really difficult for the family to come up with the money to pay for the dowry.

Gu Zhimei looked at Gu Jinyan with complicated eyes, trying to suppress the anger rising in her heart. Gu Jinyan clearly has a way, but he refuses to help her.

In 1975, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the sun was shining!

Gu Zhirong got married on this day.

In addition to the bicycles sent by the Ke family, once the dowry was put out, it was envied by the little daughter-in-law and the big girl. It was truly a beautiful marriage.

"You really love your daughter."

"Amei will get married later, will there be so many?" The

onlookers were chatting.

Gu Dahe and Huang Xiuju were very embarrassed when they heard it. They didn't have the face to say that this was all prepared by their son, and they didn't have the face to admit that it was prepared by them, and their faces turned red.

"Amei, your sister's dowry is a lot. Do you have a lot of dowry in the future?" The little sister next to her bumped Gu Zhimei with her elbow and said enviously that

Gu Zhimei twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

She knew that her uncle and aunt had spent all the family's savings for her work. Originally, the family lost Gu Jinyan's centimeters, and the food that could be distributed was less. Now that Gu Zhirong is married, the family's income is even less.

Besides, even if the family's money is not spent, the uncle and aunt can't afford such a dowry. Gu Jinyan did it all. Now, looking at Gu Jinyan's attitude towards her, it is impossible to prepare anything for her.

Compared with the dowry, the banquet is very ordinary. It provoked everyone to say that they can't usually see that Gu Dahe and his wife were such stingy people.

Gu Jinyan turned a deaf ear to these, and Gu Dahe and his wife were panicked by the gossip outside.
