Chapter 2 - The second chapter, Song Yi (1/2)
Lin Lei made a guess. Song Yi had thought about this marriage and all the problems that could arise. The only thing that he had not expected was the original owner's fierce personality.
Originally, he had asked for leave to visit his family. It was a three-day leave at most. This sudden marriage was too rushed.
They had to rush back to the steel factory on the day of the wedding, so the two of them did not have time to consummate the marriage.
Song Yi explained to the original owner whom he had just married
”There are still matters to be dealt with at the steel factory. Wait until I ask for leave next time and come back then.”
The original owner did not blame him and stayed at Song Yi's House. There were a total of eight people in the Song Family, including Song Yi.
The eldest brother, Song Cheng, was married and had a daughter, Song Niu. His wife was Li Hui from the same village. She was a nice person but a little stingy. As a rural wife in this era, it was understandable.
Song Yi was the second son. The third son, Song Jian, was two years younger than the original owner. He was also studying in the town and had an sister, Song Qian, who was fourteen years old.
Their father, Song De, and mother, Tang Shufen, had a large family. No wonder people in that era were especially fertile... If this was a modern era, their parents would be exhausted to death!
It was a problem for such a large family to eat. Since there were no separate families, and they were all rationed.
The host was especially good at eating. A few days ago, there were leftovers from the banquet.
The host was not picky about food and was very full. After finishing the leftovers, the family made a rationed meal. Everyone had a bowl of porridge for breakfast and some pickled vegetables. They basically did not cook at noon and only cooked at night. Everyone would cook something. There was not much oil in the dishes. Everyone had a piece of rice flour pancake.
The host was not full, but she was too embarrassed to say it to their faces, so she could only endure it in silence.
When the host returned home three days later, she explained to her mother, Li Qiuyue. As someone who had been there before, her mother advised her to bear with the separation.
The host's mother advised her to go back early. The new wife had been back to her mother's house for a long time, so the in-laws would not like her too much. The host was very obedient and went home before dark. When she entered the house, she found that everyone was eating dumplings.
However, it was not the new year, so why was everyone was eating dumplings?
The host was very puzzled. When she was here, the food had been clear and watery. When she returned home, everyone actually ate dumplings.
Because she liked Song Yi and had insisted on marrying him, the host dared not say anything.
When everyone saw that she had returned, they were also very depressed. Because she ate such a lot, they wanted to take advantage of her absence to eat meat. They only had enough dumplings for them to eat.
They had no choice but to give up two dumplings each, which was just enough for one plate. Sister-in-law Li Hui took it over to the host.
