On the first day Yang Dongxu came back, his grandparents and uncle's family came over for dinner in the evening. This is a routine that has gradually formed over the years. Because Yang's mother relented, Yang's father seemed to have a different impression of his sudden appearance of his son-in-law, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was not bad.
Although Yang Dongxu's grandparents seem to have some objections to their granddaughter's marriage, their eldest son's family has gotten better and better in recent years, and they have also helped their second elder and younger son's family. Therefore, Father Yang's voice has become more and more important. He has full control over his own affairs, his elder brother's affairs, and his younger brother Shengli's family's affairs can also be half in charge.
So the eldest son and daughter-in-law agreed, and the eldest grandson, who has a lot of say in the family, also agreed. Naturally, the two elders had nothing to say.
At night, Hongying's younger sisters Dandan and Zhuo Qing'er slept in the same room. Anyway, they could sleep in two beds in the room, so Liu Leehom naturally slept with Yang Dongxu. It's warm enough for two people to squeeze into two quilts, so there's nothing uncomfortable about it. Old Man Xuan sleeps in a room alone.
"Tomorrow I will take you to the bank in the city and call Uncle and Aunt Qian back. I will also make a phone call to report that everything is safe and explain the matter clearly." After turning off the lights, Yang Dongxu said, unable to sleep for a while.
"Isn't this bad? Your sister won't be gossiped about without a wedding gift?" Liu Leehom was still a little hesitant.
Although he was a little embarrassed when he entered the house, just as Yang's father and mother Yang's impression of him had changed, he also felt that the Yang family was easy to get along with, and that Yang's father and mother were very kind. Even the little brother who was repeatedly reminded by his girlfriend that it was difficult to get along with him was much easier to get along with than he imagined.
"Let's do this, keep half of the money. Give the rest to your parents and give you a thousand as a gift. After you and my sister get the certificate, my sister will take this money back. Leave the extra money. Money, and I will buy some New Year gifts in two days. Since my mother agrees, you will go with my sister to visit relatives at the beginning of the year, and buy a better New Year gift, and our two families will also have face. "
We are our own family. Although Yang's father and Yang's mother feel that their son-in-law is quite reliable, they still have to pay attention to the etiquette that should be shown to others. This is roughly what a person's face means.
"This is no problem, but isn't one thousand a little too little? And you don't need to take it back. I'm still young and can make money, so I won't let your sister live a hard life." Although he felt sorry for his parents, Liu Leehom took so much money When I came here, I really didn’t think about letting Hongying take her back after getting married.
What he thinks is that as long as he can marry the girlfriend he likes, it will be fine. As for the hardship of his own life, he will work harder to make money in the future so that his parents can live well.
"Let's do it this way. To put it bluntly, my family doesn't lack your money. You can't let outsiders gossip about this gift as you said. So you don't have to worry about this. If you feel bad about it, treat my sister in the future. Just be better.”
"I will definitely treat your sister well, I can swear this."
"Okay, okay, don't swear, it's the end of the year. Just make sure you know what's going on. I'll drive you to the city tomorrow, and then I'll buy something back. I just don't know if it will snow heavily at night, or how heavy it will be. It's not easy to drive." Yang Dongxu said with a smile when he heard that his brother-in-law was about to swear.
After wrapping themselves in quilts, the two of them chatted some more and fell asleep unconsciously.
When it dawned in the morning, Yang Dongxu woke up and found that his brother-in-law had already gotten up. He put on his clothes and opened the curtains to look outside. He found that the sky was terrifyingly cloudy, but it was not snowing.
"Get up quickly, why are you so lazy? Brush your teeth and eat quickly, and send your brother-in-law to the city to remit money later." Although his coat was on, Yang Dongxu still didn't want to leave the warm quilt, so he sat on the bed in a daze, Yang's mother Opened the door and walked in.
"They say you forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law, but you have a son-in-law and forget your son." Yang Dongxu started to put on his long johns in a funny way.
"Your brother-in-law is just much more diligent than you. What kind of work have you done at home like uncle?" Yang's mother snorted and turned away from the house.
"I provoked someone, why did my status in the family plummet?" Yang Dongxu curled his lips speechlessly, put on his clothes and jumped out of the bed.
After washing up and going downstairs, Father Yang and Leehom Liu walked in from the door dripping with sweat. It turns out that Liu Leehom, who got up early, accompanied Yang's father to the pig farm and was busy all morning. The two of them were indeed a little lazier than Yang Dongxu, who had just gotten up.
But Young Master Yang was obviously thick-skinned and didn't care about it at all. I ate as much as I should for breakfast, and even ate an extra egg.
"Drive slower on the road." Yang's mother couldn't help but tell her when she saw her son and daughter getting into the car.
"I know, I'm an experienced driver who has been driving for many years." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Not only were he and Liu Leehom in the car, there were also his sisters Hongying and Dandan, and Zhuo Qing'er who followed after hesitating. Although he listened to Yang Dongxu's advice, Liu Leehom decided to send part of the money home to prevent his parents from being too tight during the New Year this year.
But in addition to the bride price of 1,000 yuan and annual gifts, he also decided to sell clothes for his girlfriend and buy some gifts for Yang’s father and mother. The Yang family should not be too stingy if they are kind to each other. The younger sisters Dandan and Zhuo Qing'er obviously came to join in the fun.
But before coming out, Yang Dongxu also had some money in his pocket, so he could just pay for whatever the little girl bought, and it wouldn't add any burden to Liu Leehom.
If Liu Leehom buys anything for his family after getting married, he will naturally not stop him from giving any gifts to his family, and he will accept whatever he gives. But before getting married, they definitely couldn't let people spend so much. Even if Leehom Liu was willing, their family was not rich after all.
The sky was terribly gloomy when we went there, but when we came back it was already snowing in the sky, and it was quite heavy. After returning to the village from the city for more than half an hour, the road was basically covered with snowflakes, and the green wheat fields began to turn white.
Naturally, Yang's mother would complain about bringing a bunch of things back, but this kind of complaint made brother-in-law Liu Leehom laugh. Hong Ying took her younger sister and Zhuo Qing'er upstairs to try on clothes, although the quality and style of these clothes were much worse than those sold in her store, not to mention the price of the dresses. But wearing clothes bought by her boyfriend seemed to make her happier than wearing those expensive designer brands.
"Who was that person just now? He looks familiar." After unloading the things from the car, he looked at the woman Yang Dongxu who had walked away and asked.
I have never stayed at home since I was a child, and I worked outside for most of my previous life. So in addition to the people in the village who could be called by name, there was only one familiar person from the neighboring village.
"From Xiaowangzhuang, you have to call me aunt. Come and kiss your sister." Yang's mother said.
"Dandan is still young, why are you in such a hurry?" I don't have much feeling about whether to call my aunt Yang Dongxu or not. Our ancestors have lived in this land for generations and the distance is not very far. If we really talk about it, it's a mess. He could even connect with relatives, but kissing his little sister made him frown.
"You're nineteen, how can you be younger? Your father married me when he was eighteen, and you're my eldest sister when I'm nineteen."
"It's not nineteen. That's just a false age, isn't it? The first year is only a little over seventeen."
"People in the countryside say they are in vain, who tells you how old you are?" Yang's mother glared at her son.
"Then there's no need to be so anxious. We need to inquire carefully about who the person you're talking about is. We don't care if the man's family is rich, but his character must be of good quality." Perhaps he could have something to say about who his sister should choose. , but the blind date was obviously a matter that Yang’s mother made the decision, and he had no say in it.
"You don't have to tell me this." Mother Yang glanced sideways at her son, turned around and walked out of the door, not knowing whose house she was going to chat with.
Obviously, Yang's mother was still angry that her son was so supportive of her daughter's love affair. Although the son-in-law seems to be a good person now, the son cannot forgive easily, otherwise things will really turn upside down.
Yang Dongxu naturally felt that his mother was angry with him, but he obviously didn't care. There is no mother in the world who hates her son. Mom is just a little angry and will be fine after two days.
Naturally, it was snowing heavily outside, so he and Xiaowu and the others couldn't go wandering in the fields anymore. My brother-in-law went to the pig farm to help. Lao Jie, Zhuo Qing'er and Dandan were trying on new clothes upstairs, so he had to sit alone in the store.
Compared with the previous few years, the business of the Yang family's small wholesale shop has plummeted. Except for selling some things at the end of the year, there are not many customers throughout the year. Because most of their stores are closed, how can such a small store make money raising pigs?
Not only is their brother-in-law Shengli’s family basically the same as his family, he only opens a shop and does business when he has nothing to do. And in addition to the two of them, stores with vegetable greenhouses at home also have this trend. I just don’t know if these people will continue to open stores if the vegetable greenhouses are really demolished.
"Are you okay tomorrow, Xuzi?" Yinshan wandered to the door of the store from nowhere and handed Yang Dongxu a cigarette, but he waved him away.
Knowing that Yang Dongxu didn't smoke, Yinshan gave in and put the cigarette into his mouth. Compared with Yinshan who wanted to develop as a second-rate person in the past few years, Yinshan has also been involved in a lot of things in the past two years, especially after driving a sports car with his uncle Shengli in the past few years. It can be considered that he has grown up and can do things.
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?" Yang Dongxu asked, wrapping his clothes around him.
He considered closing the shop door and going upstairs to sit under the quilt and read a book. After sitting in the store for a while, the cold wind kept pouring into the seams of my clothes.
"If you have nothing to do tomorrow, pick me up in the car and use it. How about you go with me to give me a gift?" Yinshan had a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face.
"Is it done?" Yang Dongxu asked with a smile.
"I'm going to bow down tomorrow, how about running away?"
"That girl? Isn't she pretty?" Yang Dongxu continued to tease.
"It has to be beautiful. Can I like her if she's not beautiful?" Yinshan was a little hesitant.
"Come on, why are you lucky that people like you?" The third grandfather also walked out of the heavy snow at this time, stretched out his hand and slapped his son on the back of the head.
At such an old age, Yinshan obviously looked a little ugly, but he didn't dare to turn his mouth.
