The wedding anniversary of He Songbai and Zhao Lanxiang is in midwinter.

At that time, He Songbai's "Xiangbai" was still rooted in the north, and he had not had time to move it to the south. When Tang Tang and Dahai were still in their swaddling clothes, He Songbai began his days of running around. Zhao Lanxiang often felt that he was working too hard all his life. No matter how poor he used to be, their situation was getting better today.

She was very distressed and asked Li Zhong in B City take care of him.

When the husband and wife just returned to G City, it happened that Gu Shuoming's transfer order also came. He was transferred to the B Military Region of the capital. Before Gu Shuoming left, he deliberately brought his wife and children to the He family as a guest.

His wife is a bright northern girl called Mingxue. Her skin is fair and clean, and she is very tall. Her personality is enthusiastic and generous. She is a military doctor in the military department. In 1979, Gu Shuoming listened to Zhao Lanxiang's opinion and went to the Sino-Vietnamese war. He made solid achievements on the battlefield. Although he encountered many twists and turns on the way, the troops returned with honor.

In addition to his glorious return of that year, he also brought home a pure northern girl. Madam Gu was always disgusted that her son was not good enough in romance, and she thought he would be a bachelor for life. As a result, he went out, not only solving the major events of his life, they even made a baby.

Since then, Madam Gu no longer has to whisper in dissatisfaction.

Zhao Lanxiang asked about how they met, and Mingxue said with a smile, "I am his entourage doctor. He usually looks very stable, but he was almost dead on the battlefield. The bandages I brought were not enough. After we finished all the food, Shuo Ming and I thought that we might not live long enough to see tomorrow. So on the night before the last battle, we got married under the witness of several chiefs."

Madam Gu got a daughter-in-law out of thin air, and she was shocked but happy. A few months later, her grandson, Tiedan, fell to the ground, and Madam Gu wept with joy.

Tiedan was conceived on the battlefield. The flames of war did not defeat him. Severe food shortages and supply shortages did not knock him down. Mingxue once had signs of miscarriage, but he survived well. When he was born, he weighed less than five pounds, and his breath was so weak that people thought that he would leave at any time.

But Tiedan still survived tenaciously. In order to keep him healthy and commemorate his comrades-in-arms, Gu Shuoming gave him the nickname meaning "Iron Egg." Mingxue and Madam Gu held Tiedan all day and did not let him go.

Gu Shuoming was afraid that the northern weather in B City was too cold, and he did not even dare to take his sickly son to the north.

The day before Gu Shuoming left, Tong Mingxue came to the He family as a guest.

At that time, Tiedan was three years old. His little hand hooked his mother's hand, sitting on the sofa of the He family. When he was eating the nutritional meal that was especially prepared by Zhao Lanxiang, his clear eyes flickered. His little hand was holding an orange and gnawed it up, which made the elders' heart warm.

Gu Shuoming came to implore Zhao Lanxiang to make some body-conditioning meals for Tiedan. At that time, Zhao Lanxiang's "Song Lan" was trying out some dietary supplements and dietary adjustment therapy.

Zhao Lanxiang saw that Gu Shuoming looked like he had something hard to tell and thought that there was something terrible. As a result, he only asked for Tiedan's dietary needs.

She responded happily, lowering her head and gently touching Tiedan's soft hair, "Tiedan will come to Aunt Xiang's house for dinner."

Tiedan was tempted by the delicious meals made by his Aunt Xiang and nodded as if he knew something.

Gu Huaijin also served as a professor at the architecture school in G University, and for his grandson, he came to the warm G city to raise Tiedan. Well... he actually came to eat the meals of the He family. He has a cheeky face and comes to the He family for dinner every day. He has become a frequent visitor to the He family table.

Day by day, like the flowing water, the Tiedan gradually became familiar with the He family and regarded the He family as his second home. He often teased the baby brother and sister, Dahai and Tang Tang and accompanied Grandma Li to read and walk together.

On their first anniversary, the two small dumplings of the He family had grown fat and happy. With the two dumplings and the Gu family's treasure, the He family is very lively for a while.

It makes up for He Songbai's occasional absence so that Zhao Lanxiang can't feel so sad.

She and He Songbai were still in the countryside when they celebrated their first wedding anniversary, and the newly-married couple was immersed in the sweetness of their children's one hundred days celebration.

But on their second anniversary, He Songbai struggled for his career in a city thousands of kilometers away from home.

Zhao Lanxiang, who has not seen her husband for a long time, suddenly missed him. She entrusted the child to her mother and grandmother, took a vacation, bought a ticket, and flew to S city.

He Songbai was wearing a hard hat, directing the workers to work on the construction site. It sounded decent, but when Zhao Lanxiang went to the construction site, he saw a dirty man wearing a yellow hat.

In order to narrow the relationship with the workers, He Songbai sometimes even works with the workers. They eat and drink together. In these few short years, he has learned to drive a tractor and an excavator, a loader... Like a solid screw, he can do any job, and he can make up where there is a shortage. Because this year, technology is money. The masters of each technology are too rare and too few. The traditional construction industry is facing the massive challenge of importing emerging technologies.

Even Li Zhong had to be convinced. Even though he scolded him for being too idle, he silently admired him.

Zhao Lanxiang came to the construction site and saw what he was doing while sitting in a bulldozer. In the days of midwinter, a thin layer of frost was formed on the glass. His face was solemn and serious, and the thick tooling lined him up like tens of millions of ordinary workers.

But it is her favorite appearance. She loves his hard work when he was serious and does what he loves.

Although the work he is doing is very hard and tiring, it is not as glorious as people think.

In the early 1980s, supplies were scarce, and pork prices were still too high for everyone. Girls all want to marry pig farmers. The country has set off in a pig farming boom. Individual businesses have sprung up like mushrooms, and funds have flowed into the breeding industry. The pig killers in the country can save enough money for the most beautiful wife.

Everyone envied this work but did not know the true face of the job. A few years ago, He Songbai was dirty and smelly when he was working as a pig butcher. He came back every day with the smell of feces. He needs to take a few baths a day to clean it up.

This time, Zhao Lanxiang also saw He Songbai at the construction site for the first time.

He Songbai had missed lunch when he was busy. Fortunately, he had packed the meal in the heat preservation box early, and when he ate, the meal had become warm.

He mixed these chopped pieces of vegetable leaves and ate them with great gusto. Although the taste is average, for hungry people, it is extremely delicious.
