Gu Lixia has enough food and drink, and she doesn't take care of Jiang Wen.
I only picked up a few clean pieces of food with my chopsticks.
Jiang Qingjin brought his wife over to toast.
"This is Second Brother Jiang, Second Sister-in-law, and this is Susan." After Jiang Qingjin poured the wine, she first introduced both parties, and then called people with Susan.
Jiang Wen and Gu Lixia also drank this glass of wine.
"Happy and fulfilling." Gu Lixia's blessing was purposeless.
"Have a baby soon." Jiang Wen already understood that the purpose of marriage is to have a son. It only takes one sentence.
"Well, let's see next year." Jiang Qingjin agreed, and then went to pour wine for his good brother Jiang Han.
"Jiang Han, Jiang Xiu, these are my brother and sister-in-law."
"Happy wedding."
"Have a son soon."
Jiang Han and his wife also sent their blessings.
"This is Battalion Commander Yang of the First Battalion and his family, this is Battalion Commander Cui of the Second Battalion and his family, and this is Battalion Commander Liu of the Third Battalion and his family." Jiang Qingjin didn't know these family members either. They didn't live in the family compound. She had no idea whose daughter-in-law she was or what her name was.
After a glass of wine, Jiang Qingjin and Susan also sat down.
It is obvious that the three battalion commanders' wives are very familiar with each other and get along well with each other.
It means that the pickles at home are pickled and the children can eat them.
Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu sat next to each other, neither of them speaking.
Susan sat down, and the three sisters-in-law also became lively.
"Sister Su, I heard that you, your sister, and your nephews and nieces are the only ones left in your mother's family?"
"Yes." Susan looked at the family members of the Third Battalion who asked the question.
"My name is Yang Liuni, my husband Liu is called Liu Qinfen, this sister is Bai Xiangcao, his husband Cui is called Cui Changchun, this sister is Yang Xiaohui, and his husband Yang is called Yang Jianxin. They are just like sisters. This is Jiang from the regiment commander's family, and this is Jiang's sister-in-law. Their two families know each other privately, right?" The family members of the third battalion were very active, and finally looked at Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu to confirm.
"Do you all live in the family housing complex?" Susan didn't know these family members yet; it was the first time she met them.
"No, the three of us live in the family compound, and Sister Jiang lives in their village." Yang Liuni loves to talk and can't hold back.
"But the village isn't bad now. It's better than our family compound, and it's spacious and bright. My family doesn't have enough savings, otherwise I could buy a yard and move to the city. My children and I would be city dwellers for the rest of our lives and wouldn't have to go back to our hometown in the mountains."
"We have brought back a lot of veterans and their families this year. Sister Gu, why don't you arrange for us family members to work?" Yang Liuni had known Gu Lixia's identity for a long time.
Jiang Han was originally a person without any relatives in Jiangcheng. As a result, after getting married, he did not apply for a family housing and lived in his wife's parents' home.
At the beginning, it wasn't that no one asked about the girl's situation, but her situation was just average, as both her parents were gone.
That is to say, I have a brother and sister-in-law. Most people speculate that the fate of the child is also determined in the mother's family. I have had this situation in the family compound.
The reason for bringing my sister-in-law to the family compound was nominally to find her a good husband, but in reality, she was also responsible for doing the laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children.
But the regiment commander's wife never came to the family compound once, and gradually, no one was curious anymore.
With the birth of the twin brothers, there was no time to visit them in the hospital.
He was discharged from the hospital.
Last year, a month-long rainstorm made Jiang Han’s daughter-in-law the talk of the town again.
Gu Lixia vividly interprets what it means that women hold up half the sky.
As the soldiers returned to their team, the name Gu Lixia resounded throughout Jiangcheng.
This year, from April to now, Jiangcheng has been changing with each passing day.
Among other things, there’s the new fan at home and the clothes worn by the older child.
The millet and corn on the land outside East City are all thanks to this woman.
Anyone in Jiangcheng City could buy a fan, a set of clothes, or a bag of cakes without a ticket. Although each household registration booklet only allowed one chance to buy, no one thought it was too little.
Things I never dared to think about before.
Now, it is easy to achieve.
Moreover, considering that not everyone can afford a bicycle, there is now a city bus.
Public transportation.
Everyone can ride, it costs one cent per person, and students and people over 60 years old can ride for free.
In the past, military families rarely went into the city. The reason was simple: the procurement vehicle went out once a week, and everyone could only ride on the procurement vehicle.
Now, the military area is not considered remote, because there are 25 villages of various sizes nearby, and basically every entrance is a station.
Thinking of this, Yang Liuni felt envious. How could others have such a good brain?
Gu Lixia knew what Yang Liuni meant. She wanted to go to work and earn money.
"Family members are the rear base. As the rear base, family members bear all the trivialities of life. Without a capable family member, a family member willing to make sacrifices, the life of those who work hard will really become a mess."
"Because of your silent support, they can go out and carry out their missions without any worries. Every bit of their progress is due to your contribution. The local government cannot control the military region, but the military region can control the local government."
"Doesn't your sister-in-law also have to work? Isn't the Xicheng Post Office busy?" Yang Liuni looked at Jiang Xiu who was silent.
"Sister-in-law, you're wrong. My three oldest nephews, my husband, and my brother-in-law Jiang Han can all light the fire, cook, coax my younger brother to sleep, wash diapers, and go up the mountain to collect firewood. They can do all the housework."
"On weekdays, the children are all in school, and on Sundays, it's not difficult for the whole family to look after four children."
"How can a boy do these things?" Yang Liuni disagreed.
"If you can't bear to let your man and son do it, then you just need to do more, sister-in-law." Gu Lixia smiled as she spoke, giving Yang Liuni a cold shoulder.
"Men work outside the home, while women work inside the home. Isn't it just washing clothes, cooking, and farming? How tiring can it be?" Bai Xiangcao also thought so.
"Gender equality is the country's basic national policy. Women enjoy equal rights with men in all aspects of political, economic, cultural, social and family life." Gu Lixia knew that most of these people were illiterate.
"But men are stronger than women," Yang Liuni emphasized.
"Women have been able to do everything men can do since ancient times. This is discrimination against women in this world. There are still very talented women in this world, such as female pilots and female bus drivers. They are just like other men, trained in the same way and perform their jobs just as well."
"Of course, gender equality means equal opportunities and equal salaries. Everyone should do what they are good at, rather than what you understand as men doing women's work and women doing men's work."
