Chen Kuanren jumped in anger.
Geng Zhiye subconsciously hid Ye Fan behind his back, and the eldest brother of the Ye family took hold of Chen Kuanren's arm: "Uncle, calm down, no matter how much Ye Fan is, he is still your biological child."
Chen Kuanren's arm hurt and he didn't dare to let it go, but he still said stubbornly: "I don't dare to want such a powerful girl!"
Ye Fan grabbed Geng Zhiye's shoulders to reveal half of his head, and said with an exasperated smile: "So you threw me away."
"You——" Chen Kuanren suddenly blushed with anger, his neck was thick, his chest was tight, and he was short of breath.
Geng Zhiye pushed Ye Fan's head back: "What should we do now?"
Sister-in-law Ye said that she would accompany her mother to Shanghai to register for Xiaohui tomorrow.
Geng Zhiye frowned: "You and mom, you two?" He turned around and asked Ye Fan, "Aren't you going?"
"It's useless for me to go. I have a pure nature and I don't look like them. There is no scientific basis for blood recognition. No one saw what they did except themselves. If I say my surname is Chen, the police will believe it. ?”
Zhao Ruping said angrily: "Don't carry a gun and a stick as soon as you open your mouth."
Ye Fan was angry: "You threw me away, why don't you let me feel angry?"
"If it weren't for us, would you have grown so big?" Zhao Ruping couldn't help asking.
Ye Fan chuckled: "Finally told the truth."
Zhao Ruping wanted to ask her what she had said, but when she thought about it, her face suddenly changed and she stammered: "I, I was angry with you!"
"Come on. Just lie to yourself." Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye: "How many days off are left?"
Soldiers whose spouses are separated from each other can take more days off than those who are single or have dependents who can accompany the military. But Geng Zhiye is in a special situation. Now he is the top leader on the island and cannot leave for too long, "half a month."
"That's enough." Ye Fan patted him on the shoulder as if he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility: "Don't let the organization down."
Geng Zhiye was amused by her. He stood at attention with his feet and raised his hand in salute: "Don't worry, madam, I promise to complete the task!"
Tao Chunlan's eyebrows relaxed, and Father Ye's serious face had a smile, and he scolded: "Nonsense!" Without waiting for Geng Zhiye to say anything, "Have you eaten?"
Sister-in-law of the Ye family: "What can we eat on the train? I'm going to cook some noodles." Habitually wanted to ask Ye Fan if he was hungry, so he turned to the side of his mouth and said, "Xiao Hui, you should be hungry, right? Neither my uncle nor my aunt Let’s eat? I’ll make more.”
Chen Xiaohui felt like an outsider, as out of tune with this family as she had been all her life. Suddenly hearing his name, he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses: "I, I will help you."
"It doesn't take that many people to cook noodles." Sister-in-law of the Ye family asked her husband to pick vegetables.
There used to be a lot of flowers planted in Ye's courtyard. Later, when the country was in trouble and everyone was frugal, Tao Chunlan pulled out the flowers and planted vegetables instead. During the most difficult years, I planted a field of sweet potatoes. Spring sweet potatoes were followed by autumn sweet potatoes. The yield was high and both the stems and leaves were edible. I helped many relatives and neighbors.
Tao Chunlan asked Geng Zhiye to go back to the house to change clothes and wait for noodles.
Geng Zhiye raised his legs and closed the door, threw his luggage on the chair, and hugged his wife: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ye Fan hugged his neck: "I'm not afraid. Those couple wanted me to go back to Shencheng to meet my relatives and friends. How shameful they were. They were afraid they couldn't support me so they abandoned me. Fortunately, my parents were poorer. I have long been turned into a pile of loess.”
"We won't go back."
Ye Fan nodded: "I told you, I am the Geng family's wife."
"Change your surname to Geng?"
Ye Fan pinched his playful smile and said, "I don't know what Chen Xiaohui was thinking. I told her that Chen Kuanren exchanged us maliciously, causing her to suffer in the Chen family for so many years. She still doesn't want to let go of the Chen family. Maybe both sides want it. I didn’t mention changing my surname.”
"You mean she still wants to continue our relationship?" Geng Zhiye frowned.
Ye Fan couldn't figure it out: "It seems that he is afraid of them, as if there is something in the hands of those two people."
"Didn't ask?"
Ye Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "How can I ask this question without being embarrassed about my identity? I don't know if it's an illusion. I feel like she's a little confused. If I say anything more, she might suspect that I hate her and don't want to give my parents back." Give it to her. But how is that possible? I wish I had more sisters to help my parents when they are sick.”
"My family is smart, witty, and has a far-sighted vision, which is incomparable to you ordinary people." Geng Zhiye lowered his head and kissed her on the face.
Ye Fan twisted his face and pulled his head away: "Come here. Change your clothes! You smell bad!"
"The rancid smell is yours too." Geng Zhiye pecked the corner of her mouth and quickly moved away.
Ye Fan opened the closet and looked for clothes: "What's in the bag? Didn't I say that I have clothes and shoes at home, so I don't need to bring them."
"A toiletry bag, food for the two brats, and some seafood -" Geng Zhiye took the flying clothes, "Where are Dabao and Erbao?"
Ye Fan: "I remember them both. They were at your dad's house."
Geng Zhiye slowed down in changing clothes: "Why don't you ask Xiaoqin to take care of you for a few days if you don't care?"
Xiaoqin's name is Geng Zhiqin, Ye Fan's sister-in-law, she is twenty years old, and Geng Zhiye's half-sister.
The situation of the Geng family is not complicated at all. Geng Zhiye has two older brothers, and the eldest brother and he have the same father. After the eldest brother's mother died heroically, the organization introduced a lesbian to his father, who gave birth to Geng Zhiye and his second brother.
The three brothers were born in the war, and there was not much food in the base area behind enemy lines. The lesbians of that era were very simple and impartial, and conditions did not allow them to favor the older ones over the younger ones. The three brothers had a good relationship.
Geng Zhiye's mother became ill from overwork and passed away at dawn. When the organization saw that they were all men, old and young, and no one had mended their torn socks, they introduced Geng's father to a lesbian, Geng Zhiqin's mother, Yu Wentao.
The eldest brother of the Geng family was already eighteen years old when Yu Wentao married into the Geng family. The eldest brother of the Geng family pointed out bluntly in front of his father that you could not marry Lao Geng because of his age. You want him to have a high salary and good treatment, but we want you to be young enough to take care of your father and two younger brothers. If you keep your peace and keep to yourself, you will have no worries about food and drink in this life. You make trouble out of nothing. It's easier for you to come in than to get out.
Yu Wentao cried angrily on the spot. Geng's father told his eldest son to shut up, and explained to his younger wife in a serious voice that he was often away from home and had no time to keep an eye on the three children. I can give his three brothers a good beating now. What will you do when I leave.
Geng Zhiye was eleven years old at the time and was still childish. He said that his eldest brother was a villain first and then a gentleman. Geng Zhiyesheng's little face was fair and well-behaved. Yu Wentao thought that this child would not lie, and the knot in his heart disappeared instantly.
Two years later, Geng Zhiqin was born. All the brown sugar and eggs at home were kept for the mother. Geng Zhiye's grandmother and aunt also came to visit her. Yu Wentao's life in the Geng family was comfortable, her temper was kind, and she was devoted to her husband and children. Unfortunately, this situation only lasted until six or seven years.
That year, Geng's father was not in good health and had to retire. Although he was not old enough to take tea, Yu Wentao obviously felt that he was not as popular as before.
Geng Zhiqin was thirteen years old that year, and he was waiting for the college entrance examination. When Geng Zhiqin was about to go to the countryside when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, Yu Wentao was reluctant to let him go, and wanted to push Geng Zhiye out for marriage every day. It's possible that Huangtian paid off, or that Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan were destined to have Yu Wentao bump into Tao Chunlan. All four members of the Ye family were working in different units, so Yu Wentao felt that it would not be difficult to insert Geng Zhiqin.
As the saying goes, you can't put your eggs in one basket. Yu Wentao was afraid that someone more powerful than the Ye family would steal her daughter's job. Geng Zhiqin had just turned sixteen, so she jumped up and down to arrange marriage arrangements for her daughter.
Geng's father and brother Geng's mother are from the same hometown. The father and son have often helped relatives in their hometown over the years. A few years ago, Geng's father returned to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors. The villagers were excited and cried when they saw him. Both Geng's father and elder brother Geng Zhiye said that they could arrange for Geng Zhiqin to return to his hometown. Getting married at the age of seventeen or eighteen was simply child's play. Yu Wentao strongly objected and said unscrupulously, "If you don't feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for you. My daughter doesn't need you to worry about her."
Perhaps the current situation has caused her to feel uneasy. In recent years, she has become increasingly dissatisfied with poverty and loves wealth.
The only good thing is that Yu Wentao just retired this year and usually has no time to discipline his daughter. Geng Zhiqin followed his elder sister-in-law until he was ten years old. His elder sister-in-law and elder brother were transferred to other places and followed his second brother and second sister-in-law. Ye Fan had money in hand and was willing to buy food. He would buy a big bag every time he went back. Yu Wentao wanted her daughter to have a good relationship with Ye Fan, and under the subtle influence of several sisters-in-law, she did not pick up on her mother's shortcomings.
A few days before Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye got married, a distant cousin of Mrs. Ye's sister-in-law said that the supply and marketing cooperative in Xihaidian, Ye's house, was short of an accountant. It had rained heavily a few days ago and the road was slippery. The old accountant fell and was injured. It would take half a year to recuperate, or it would be nothing more than that. retire.
Ye Fan went to school to learn Russian and was good at dialing abacus beads. She also taught Ye Fan a few words in English in the past two years, and she knew a lot. However, Ye Fan was twenty years old and had never worked as an accountant. The eldest sister-in-law of the Ye family seriously doubted that he could do it. ?.
Sister-in-law Ye's cousin said that if someone is anxious and a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, Ye Fan will encounter it.
The work of the supply and marketing cooperative is simple, and Ye Fan could have done it when he was in college in his previous life, not to mention that he has been struggling in society for more than ten years. The director of the supply and marketing cooperative originally felt that the Ye family was "bullying others" and made things difficult for him personally. When he failed to do so, Ye Fan calmed him down. He agreed to keep Ye Fan on the spot, but there was a three-month internship period.
A month later, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative reported that Ye Fan was promoted to a regular employee. After Ye Fan became a full-time employee, he took advantage of a loophole in the regulations and drove a three-bouncer to the agricultural and sideline products purchasing station to collect chickens, ducks, goose, melons, fruits and vegetables.
The fellow villagers have no worries about selling what they grow, and vegetables are grown in front of and behind their houses. Lazy men are no longer lazy, so they go up the mountain to hunt chestnuts, walnuts and pick hawthorns. If there are too many hawthorns to sell, cut them up and dry them, and keep them for sale as dried hawthorns.
During the season when peaches, plows and apples are on the market, supply and marketing cooperatives are not short of supplies. In winter, there are also sweet potatoes, dried mushrooms and fungus, etc. Half a year after Ye Fan took office, except for rainy and snowy days, the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people every day. When the accounts were closed at the end of the year, the supply and marketing cooperative she worked for made twice as much money as other companies.
Someone at the buying station sued Ye Fan, but the things Ye Fan bought were leftovers from the buying station. The purchasing station was raising the banner, so Ye Fan asked, as the successor of socialism, do you hope that the vegetables that the villagers have worked so hard to grow will go to waste.
Ye Fan was not speculative, and she was not greedy for a penny from the government. The person who sued her was a little scared because of the high family status of the Ye family, and they couldn't find any evidence, so they could only let her dangling in front of her eyes with a three-bouncer every day. go.
The supply and marketing cooperative has a room dedicated to selling agricultural and sideline products, but there is not enough manpower. Ye Fan pushed her sister-in-law in naturally. The little girl couldn't stand the fear of people gossiping. Ye Fan also hoped that she would go to college and find a more relaxed and decent job, so he asked her to work as a temporary worker.
Temporary worker Yu Wentao is also satisfied with being protected by his own family. Not in a hurry to marry off her daughter, she started to be picky again. Either the parents-in-law of this family are difficult to get along with, or there is a powerful eldest sister in that family. He also said that not mentioning Lao Geng, even those with smaller pensions than hers would not be able to do it. If your parents don’t have pensions, you don’t need to ask for them.
But in this era, Wen Tao was not the only one who was reluctant to let his daughter go to the countryside. Other families also considered working as soldiers first, and getting married second. There are too many monks and too little rice. How can there be so many young talents waiting for Yu Wentao to choose.
Yu Wentao was satisfied with her family's work, but she also disliked the fact that the family was too much.
Geng's father had a lot of shrapnel in his body. He was not in good health and had no time to care about Yu Wentao. Yu Wentao felt that the old man supported her. Occasionally, Geng's father would scold her, and she would cry that she had only one daughter and had no one to rely on.
Yu Wentao can make trouble, but Geng's father is worried that his son and daughter-in-law will kick her out if he takes the first step, so he can only let her continue to dominate and suppress her.
Tao Chunlan was worried that her daughter would not be accustomed to living in her husband's house. This was also because she had been in contact with Yu Wentao several times before and after Ye Fan got married and found that she had many problems.
Geng Zhiye got out of the car and went straight to his father-in-law's house because he didn't want to see his father who was pretending to be deaf and dumb and his stepmother who was getting more confused as she got older.
Ye Fan: "Xiao Qin has to go to work. Aunt Yu doesn't know about this yet and doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Dabao and Erbao."
"The reason why my father-in-law, eldest brother, and sister-in-law asked for leave is because you and Chen Xiaohui made a mistake, right? The news will spread in less than a week. When I come back from Shanghai and register for her, reporters from second-rate newspapers will come to interview you."
"When the news reaches the newspaper office, I will have already landed on the island with you."
Geng Zhiye stopped buckling his belt: "What are you boarding?"
"Follow the army." Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him, "Are you so shocked?"
Geng Zhiye hurriedly buckled his belt and pulled her into his arms: "My father-in-law agreed?"
Ye Fan: "Dad didn't object. It was Mom who felt that the second baby was too young to live on the island. If he got sick, he couldn't be sent to a big hospital in time. My eldest brother and sister-in-law were not afraid that I would suffer there. I Once I leave, there will be no one to take care of, and my mother will have to push her sister-in-law to have a baby every day when she is free.”
"It's time for your sister-in-law to give birth."
Ye Fan shook his head: "Sister-in-law said that we will live together with each other when we grow old, and we will take care of each other. If she is sick and is hospitalized, she will hire a nurse. If she walks in front of us, we will help her cremate her. If she walks behind us, we will leave the funeral arrangements to Dabao and Second treasure. If nothing else, she still has nieces and nephews.”
"Your mother doesn't think so."
Ye Fan smiled: "Isn't Chen Xiaohui here?"
Geng Zhiye nodded with deep understanding: "Indeed, I think this is enough for my mother-in-law to worry about."
"Stop making sarcastic remarks. Get up!" Ye Fan pushed his hand away, "You still smell?"
Geng Zhiye: "First take a fishing boat ashore, then take a fellow villager's tractor to the bus station, and then take a bus to the train station. The train stops and goes for two days, and then comes back and takes the bus. It's boring."
"Thank you, Commander Geng." Ye Fan touched his face. "Rough."
Geng Zhiye took her hand: "I think what you want."
Ye Fan shrugged and shuddered: "I really should ask your little mother to see what kind of virtue you are. I won't have to talk about you when I'm looking for a partner for Xiaoqin."
“Didn’t we say before that just having good facial features is enough?”
"Her integrity is basically equal to her thick eyebrows, big eyes, and dignified appearance. The weekend after I received your letter, I took Dabao and Erbao back and told her and your dad that you were going on vacation for a few days, and I happened to meet her coming back from a blind date with Xiaoqin. Xiaoqin thinks it’s okay, what do you think she said?”
"She is stingy and doesn't care about cleanliness? She agreed to ask Xiaoqin to see her. She must have a decent family and personal conditions."
Ye Fan nodded: "I scolded Xiaoqin when I entered the house. He is not as tall as your third brother and has a bigger temper than him. Saying a word to him is the same as asking him, and you don't need to pour water to reflect on your own virtues. To be shameless, you need to be knowledgeable. I’m uneducated, but I still want to find someone like your third sister-in-law, just go ahead and dream!”
Geng Zhiye could imagine his stepmother pointing at his sister's nose when she said this, curling her lips with disgust: "Ignore her. Xiaoqin is only twenty, not big."
"Tell me the truth, you were already twenty-six when we went on a blind date. Was it because she was too busy?"
Geng Zhiye: "Not entirely. I was in Yangcheng at that time. It took ten days to go back and forth. I didn't want to come back. I was in my twenties and thirties and I wasn't in a hurry. I didn't feel anything. Suddenly I turned twenty-six."
"So you haven't seen it before?"
