In the 1960s, a woman dressed as a man and a general came to give birth to a baby

Chapter 143: Mountains

Sun Dayou's village is located in the mountains, and it is not easy to get in and out. Moreover, the grain output is limited in the mountains, so the town cadres usually do not go there.

Now that there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yu decided to go to Sun Dayou's village to discuss the sweet potato seedlings with them.

Sun Dayou originally wanted to put down his things and leave directly, but he didn't expect that his capable cousin-in-law wanted to follow him back to the village. For a moment, he was very happy, and this time he could brag even more.

The next day, Zhang Yu gave instructions to his family, saying that he would definitely come back on New Year's Eve. He packed some things in his space, put them in a backpack, and then followed Sun Dayou to the small mountain village. Of course, Sun Dayou carried all the things.

This small mountain village is called Cuijia Village. People here generally get married earlier than those outside. People in their 30s are already married here.

So even though Sun Dayou is younger than Ma Luoying and Zhang Yu, he is already the father of three children, and the oldest is 3 years old.

Because Cuijia Village is located in the mountains, the girls here all want to get married, and girls from outside don't want to come here.

Therefore, a custom has evolved in Cuijia Village, that is, when introducing a wife to someone, a large sum of money must be paid if the marriage is successful. So although this place is poorer than the outside world, the cost of marrying a wife is much higher than outside.

Back then, Ma Luoying's mother was a girl who walked out of the mountains. When she was still alive, she seldom returned to the village. One reason was that her father Ma did not allow her to do so, and the other was that she simply did not want to go back, so it was the Sun Dayou brothers who took turns to visit their aunt.

Last year, due to a disaster, the small wooden bridge leading out of the mountain was washed away, so the Sun family was unable to come over. This year, we found out that only five cousins ​​were left in my aunt's family.

Zhang Yu followed Sun Dayong empty-handed for half a day's walk, but when he looked up, he could not see anyone.

Zhang Yu looked at the endless mountain road in front of him and grabbed Sun Dayou who was walking vigorously beside him.

Zhang Yu asked breathlessly, "Dayou, didn't you just say we were almost there? Where is it? Point it out to me."

Sun Dayou didn't blush or breathe heavily. He said optimistically: "Brother-in-law, it's not far. We are already halfway there. We will arrive just after we climb over this hill."

Zhang Yu was surprised and said: "No, Dayou, when you came to my house, didn't you spend the whole morning?"

Sun Dayou touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, I walked alone and it only took me half a day to get here. People from the mountainside are not used to walking on mountain roads, so it's normal for you to walk slowly."

Zhang Yu: I suspect you are mocking me~

Zhang Yu looked at the tall mountains in front of him and felt a wave of despair in his heart.

He thought to himself, it’s so far and there’s no place to rest on the road, no wonder no one comes. I wouldn’t come even if you asked me to.

But now that he has come this far, Zhang Yu can no longer retreat and can only bite the bullet and rush forward.

Finally, the two arrived at the village when it was getting dark.

Entering Cuijia Village, Zhang Yu felt that it was like a paradise, with stone houses and wooden fence gates, most of which had a dog tied at the door.

At this time, smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household in the village. It was much better than outside the mountains, where people could not get enough food to eat.

Zhang Yu followed Sun Dayou to Ma Luoying's grandmother's house.

Because they got married early and became grandparents in their 30s, Ma Luoying's grandparents are still alive and in good health.

Sun Dayou's grandfather, the head of the Sun family, is less than 60 years old. He looks tall and strong. When he saw Zhang Yu coming in, he asked in a loud voice: "Dayou, who is this? He looks unfamiliar."

While Grandpa Sun was asking questions, he also kept an eye on Zhang Yu.

"Grandpa, this is the man of my cousin Luo Ying from my eldest aunt's family, your nephew's son-in-law. He has something to ask the village chief, so I brought him back."

Then, Grandpa Sun said, "Dayou, go and call all the people in our family over. Rang, what's your name?"

Zhang Yu quickly said: "Grandpa, my name is Zhang Yu"

After knowing Zhang Yu's name, Grandpa Sun asked his eldest grandson Sun Dashan to call all the uncles and aunts' families over so that Zhang Yu, his nephew-in-law, could recognize him.

After the old man called the meeting, every member of the Sun family quickly gathered in the yard. It was quite a sight. There were too many people and there was no room for everyone in the house.

After Grandpa Sun introduced everyone in the family to him one by one, Zhang Yu was confused. There were more than a hundred people in the family. Zhang Yu just wanted to say: I can't remember them all!

Mr. Sun is a very particular person. Every elder counts. Whenever Zhang Yu calls someone, they have to give a gift. During this visit, Zhang Yu collected a large number of wild medicinal herbs and animal furs.

However, as a married adult, Zhang Yu, as an elder, also gave gifts to the next generation and the next generation. His gifts were relatively simple. Small gifts included candies, and big gifts included pencils and notebooks. These were all stored in the space, otherwise Zhang Yu would be embarrassed.

After recognizing the people, Grandpa Sun enthusiastically invited Zhang Yu to have dinner at his home. As for finding the village chief, there was plenty of time for that, right?

Before eating, Zhang Yu took out the things he brought for the Sun family from the two large baskets that Sun Dayou was carrying. This time they were all products from the space, including white flour and various vegetables.

Old Master Sun looked at what Zhang Yu took out and smiled widely. It didn't matter how much the things were, but what mattered was the thoughtfulness of Zhang Yu.

As a result, Zhang Yu received the highest level of reception.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: Well, I wasn’t forced to drink at the wedding, but I was drunk when visiting relatives.

The next day, when Zhang Yu woke up, only Grandpa Sun and his wife and people from Sun Dayou's lineage were left at home.

Zhang Yu approached the old man and asked about the serious matter.

Grandpa Sun asked: "No problem, he should be at home now. Let's go find him and take turns. You two are of the same generation, just call him brother."

Zhang Yu followed the old man and replied, "Oh, I see."

At this time, Mr. Sun asked again: "Yesterday, Dayou said that you were the director of the purchasing department. You are an official, is this true?"

"Grandpa, don't listen to Dayou's bragging. I am the director of the county's purchasing department. My wife is not as high-ranking as your niece."

When Mr. Sun heard this, he couldn't stop smiling. He said, "Okay, okay, they are all good kids."

While the two were talking, they arrived at the home of the captain of Cuijia Village.

Sure enough, the captain was at home. When he saw Grandpa Sun coming, he hurried over to help, but was glared at by Grandpa Sun.

Old Master Sun said to the captain with a serious face, "Yes. This is my nephew's son-in-law. He came here to do a business with the village. I don't know the details, so you can discuss it yourself."
