Xu Chengjin crossed her arms and leaned against the wall pillar, looking at Xu Yin with a smile but not a smile: "I didn't expect that my wife is hiding so much."
Xu Yin touched her nose: Is it too late to change her mind and say that she doesn't know, don't know, and just said casually?
"Well, I'm going to cook! You translate slowly."
She turned and fled.
Xu Chengjin chuckled lightly and did not ask her further.
Everyone has a secret, why bother getting to the bottom of it.
As for this secret about his future wife...he liked it very much.
After that day, Xu Yin had one more thing in her free time after dinner: being dragged by this guy to discuss the plot in the translation, and sometimes asking her the meaning of some obscure words.
Xu Yin: What? Do you still want to imitate the ancients and wear red sleeves to add fragrance?
"Distracted?" He raised his index finger and flicked her forehead.
"Ah? No. What did you just ask?"
Being caught complaining, Xu Yin felt a little guilty. She looked down at the string of words he pointed at the translation manuscript and translated it smoothly without thinking:
"...As in the past, I still love you. I can't help but love you. I think I will love you until I die..."
She covered her mouth and turned to glare at him.
This guy has a plan!
Xu Chengjin pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, with a deep smile in his tone: "I didn't expect my wife to be so affectionate towards me, which makes me quite flattered..."
"..."
Take a shower and go to sleep! Stop acting!
Chen Huilan put her ear against the door and listened for a long time. She breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and said to Xu Laosan: "It's okay, okay. After chatting for a while, Yinyin went back to the room. I don't know what we were talking about. I heard my son-in-law laugh."
Xu Laosan was trying on his new clothes. Hearing this, he continued: "Just tell me what are you worried about. My son-in-law is doing well! Speaking of my wife, in this weather, is it too hot for me to wear two clothes?"
Just wearing a long-sleeved white shirt makes you feel stuffy. If you wear a military uniform outside, you won’t suffer from heatstroke in this weather, right?
Chen Huilan was speechless: "This is for you to wear on your daughter's wedding day. On the fifth day of September, the weather has cooled down, so it's just right to wear two pieces. Why are you wearing it now?"
"Have you bought it or not? It's not the same as not buying it." Xu Laosan muttered, "Besides, aren't we going to have a wedding soon? I have to wear some new clothes to have a wedding banquet."
"I guess the boss doesn't have any new clothes. If you go to the wedding party dressed like this, the groom's family will think you are Xu Yuanyuan's biological father." Chen Huilan said angrily to him, blew out the kerosene lamp, and went to bed.
"Hey! Wife, I haven't taken off my clothes yet! What will I see if you turn out the light?"
"You have to take off your clothes and watch with a light on?"
"I'll appreciate it again..."
"..."
In the blink of an eye, the first day of August came, Xu Yuanyuan’s wedding day.
After Xu Sang and his wife arrived, Xu Laosan and his family went to the elder's house for a wedding banquet.
It was only when Xu Sang returned to her parents' home after the summer harvest that she found out that her second sister had actually found a son-in-law who came to her. Moreover, this son-in-law was one of the best in the world - he was not only good-looking, but also very good at saving money.
The money for approving homestead land and buying bricks and tiles to build a new house was earned by my second brother-in-law from writing manuscripts.
"When will the foundation be built? Let your brother-in-law come to help then." Xu Sang took his second sister and walked while chatting, "When will the bricks and tiles be approved?"
Xu Yin said: "I could have built the foundation a long time ago, but it has been raining for the past few days. If the weather clears up tomorrow and the day after, I plan to start the construction. I have asked Chen Lei and the others to help. If my brother-in-law is busy, there is no need to come here."
The second sister is building a house, why can't the eldest sister and brother-in-law come and help.
Xu Sang came over no matter what.
Xu Yin assigned tasks to the two of them: one helped boil water and deliver tea, and the other helped build the foundation.
The approved number of bricks and tiles was only enough for her to build three bungalows, so it wouldn't take long to build the house. Once the bricks and tiles arrive, it will take two days to erect the house.
On the contrary, building a foundation is time-consuming and laborious. After all, the stability of a house depends entirely on the foundation.
Then there is the interior decoration.
Fortunately, these days, if you want to pretend to be sophisticated, you can't do it. Either you lack the materials, or you can easily be sued by interested parties for your capitalist-trafficking practices, which would be bad.
The interior walls were plastered with lime and whitewashed, and the beams and columns were painted with waterproof and moth-proof paint. Then they were ventilated, the furniture was moved in, the cabinet doors were pasted with red Double Happiness stickers, and the legs and handles of the stools were tied with red wool to give it a festive feel.
Therefore, Xu Yin is not in a hurry. It will definitely be done before the ninth month of the lunar calendar.
When Xu Laosan and his family arrived, the main hall of Xu Laosan's house was already full of relatives and friends.
Zou Caifen's natal family is close by, and several of her sisters-in-law and cousin-in-law came to help early in the morning.
Seeing that Chen Huilan, the sister-in-law, not only arrived at this point, but also after arriving, she sat down to eat melon seeds like other relatives and friends, and did not help at all. She looked like she was just waiting for a wedding banquet. Zou Caifen's sister-in-law curled her lips in disdain: "Lazy What has happened! No wonder we are so poor that we are facing famine."
Although Li Chunxiang didn't deal with either sister-in-law, she disliked the eldest sister-in-law even more. Especially when I heard my precious son say after he came back that he never had enough to eat in the past few months at his parents’ house.
The only times when Xu Yin was full was when she went to see Xu Lan at school and brought them cakes and snacks. Twice, it was braised pork and steamed buns. Otherwise, I will be too hungry to walk.
Therefore, the dissatisfaction with the boss has risen to a high level.
At this moment, hearing what her eldest sister-in-law said, Li Chunxiang snorted and said:
"I'm living a very comfortable life now! Their family of three may earn more work points than your family of five. If it were me, I could be as lazy as I wanted. How could I have a good and capable daughter? Not talking about the family and the outside world, but also recruiting a door-to-door son-in-law who can lay golden eggs, how could he be so poor that he is about to suffer from famine?"
Zou Caifen's sister-in-law choked.
They are all in the same brigade, how could they not know the changes that have taken place in Xu Laosan's family in the past six months? I don’t know how many times I have listened to Xu Laosan show off.
She just couldn't stand women like Chen Huilan. She was lazy when she was in her mother's family, and she was lazy when she was in her husband's family. However, her life was better than that of hard-working people like them who worked with their eyes open until dark and closed their eyes. How can one not be jealous.
Chen Huilan didn't care what these people thought of her. She was so lazy that she didn't even dislike her own daughter, so she could think whatever outsiders liked her.
She leisurely finished cracking a handful of melon seeds, got up and went to the kitchen of her boss's house, walked around in a circle, returned to the main room with a clear mind, and said to her three daughters:
"Your uncle is doing a great job today! He prepared six large meat dishes. In addition to the head soup, pork belly and fish we thought of, there are both whole chicken and whole duck, and there is also a braised pork elbow! Be good!"
Xu Lan became excited: "Mom, let's decorate more later! We can still have meat and vegetables at home tomorrow!"
Xu Sang pursed his lips and smiled, not surprised by this.
Xu Yin's head turned black: "Don't do it! In addition to the relatives on our side, there are also the relatives on the uncle's mother's side, and the men who come to pick up the bride also have to sit at the same table. I see how bad it is."
"It's okay, it's okay, everyone is like this." Xu Laosan said nonchalantly while eating melon seeds.
