Returning to the topic of gifts: "Yuanyuan, the gift given by your husband's family is too little! You know clearly that our family wants to marry two people, so why do you give so little? The gift given to a daughter-in-law of a dual-income family is more than this. "
As for the money given by relatives, the total sum is not enough to cover one or two meat dishes. This banquet was a waste!
Xu Yuanyuan, who was already upset and angry, became even more unhappy when her mother said this: "How did I know! Aren't you very satisfied with this marriage? The Guo Zhijun family may not be satisfied, they think I'm too high!"
Zou Caifen suppressed her displeasure and said: "I didn't say anything, I just think your mother-in-law is a bit stingy... Okay, okay, just lose it! You just need to marry well. Your father and I have no other requirements, as long as you From now on, if you give your eldest brother a hand and let him become a regular worker, our family will be happy in this life!"
"Let's talk about this later!"
Xu Yuanyuan felt unsure. I always feel that my mother-in-law is not so easy to get along with.
…
As soon as they finished the wedding wine served by Mr. Xu and his family, all the relatives and friends were looking forward to the wedding wine hosted by Mr. Xu and his family.
On the way back, I joked with Xu Laosan:
"Third brother, your brother's family has served six meat dishes. When it's your turn, why do you want eight meat dishes?"
Recruiting a son-in-law is equivalent to marrying a daughter-in-law to the man's family, so it is naturally more grand than marrying a daughter to the woman's family.
Xu Laosan subconsciously thought about it, but then he thought: How can I have the money to prepare so many meat dishes? Even if you can borrow it, it’s useless without a ticket!
Waving his hand: "My second daughter is in charge of the house, and she has the final say! If she wants to do something big, she can do it big, and if she wants to do it, she can do it simple."
Everyone: "..."
Hey! Now he was smarter and stopped bragging.
Xu Laosan: You have to have the capital to brag! I smoked a bag of filters as a guest from my son-in-law. Where did the capital come from? He's not the boss, he gets a salary of about thirty yuan a month. Where can I get money?
Xu Yin quietly gave her father a thumbs up: It's only right to do as many things as you can! No need to brag!
Xu Laosan's face turned red: My pocket is empty, I can't even blow it up even if I want to!
Seeing the interaction between father and daughter, Xu Chengjin's eyes were thoughtful. When he returned home, he blocked Xu Yin in the room: "Do you want to do it big or simple? If it's just about money, I can find a way."
Xu Yin poked his solid chest: "Why bother to mobilize troops just to save face for a while? Our family is already poor, and the poor and lower-middle peasants are the most glorious. If we do it simply, there is no shame. Besides, you have already taken out the money. A sum of money has been used to build a new house. If the banquet is more grand than at my uncle’s house, what will others think? Will our family still be peaceful by then?"
Xu Chengjin held her poking hand and rubbed her slender fingers: "Don't you feel aggrieved?"
Xu Yin burst out laughing: "Are you feeling aggrieved for the guests who came to have a wedding banquet? What should I feel aggrieved about? I live my life for myself, not to show off to others. If you have money, you can buy more whole meat and dishes. I only have more money to buy a whole vegetarian dish, so I’m not that stupid. If I borrow money to host a banquet, won’t I be the one who suffers the consequences later?”
When Xu Chengjin heard what she said, he couldn't help but hug her into his arms.
He thought: He really found a treasure!
How come there are such unique and wonderful people!
It was so good that he couldn't bear to let her go out.
There were quite a few wolf cubs in the brigade who were staring at her and secretly liking her. If they weren't blocked by the "son-in-law who came to their door", who would have gotten him?
"Ahem!" Xu Laosan stood at the door of the main room with his hands behind his back, "My dear girl, the sky is bright and clear, please take it easy!"
"..."
Before the autumn harvest, Xu Yin's new house was finally completed.
On the day when the beam was laid, I threw a few coarse-grain steamed buns to the relatives and friends who came to help, set off a bunch of firecrackers, and moved into the new home in a lively manner.
It didn't take long for the autumn harvest to arrive.
In addition to doubling her work points, Xu Yin also earned a bunch of energy points.
She is now a member of the main labor force of the Second Production Brigade. The secretary conveyed the original words of the commune cadres: next year she will be recommended to the county to evaluate model workers.
With such a big carrot hanging in front of their noses, Xu Laosan and his wife would not dare to hold back their daughter.
The secretary said that if he was rated as a county-level model worker, reporters would come to interview him, so he got up early and worked in the dark every day, groaning from exhaustion.
Fortunately, there is massage oil donated by my daughter. I apply it before going to bed, and the next day is another day of earning full work points.
Xu Chengjin is not a person who works in the fields. Xu Laosan has known this for a long time. He also knows that the money his son-in-law earns with his pen far exceeds the money and food he can get for full work points, so what is there to dislike? Anyway, it’s still about making money, no matter what he does or doesn’t do.
So, when others said harshly that his son-in-law was a pretty boy who couldn't lift his shoulders or lift his hands, he rolled up his sleeves and ended up fighting:
"Fart! You're a pretty boy! My son-in-law can do it! The royalties he earns can allow me to smoke a filter and drink Laobaigan every day, can you? If you can't, just shut up! What are you talking about! Don't let me hear you again You are chewing your tongue like a bitch, and you will see if I don’t break your front teeth!”
After several times, who would dare to talk about his son-in-law behind his back?
After Xu Chengjin heard about it, during the hardest and most tiring days of the autumn harvest, he went to the city early and bought a whole filter for his father-in-law who was protecting him. He also brought back two bottles of wine and a knife of meat.
Now, Xu Laosan is even more energetic. Before work every day, he will walk around the fields with his head held high like a leader inspecting, showing off the filter he clipped to his ear: "My son-in-law bought it!"
Everyone: "..."
Can't afford to offend!
After the autumn harvest, it is time to distribute grain and money. The grain distributed in the first half of the year is only a small part, and the bulk comes after the autumn harvest.
All the hard work finally paid off.
Who is the winner? Needless to say, it must be Xu Laosan's family.
"Third brother, your family can have a good year this year."
"No! The third child earned more work points this year than he has earned in the past ten years."
Xu Laosan was in a good mood and allowed them to tease him. On the contrary, he happily invited them:
"In a few days, it will be my family's wedding day, so come all of you! My son-in-law has got a jar of red wine. There is not much meat and vegetables, but there is enough wine!"
"Hey! Nuerhong? A whole jar? How did your son-in-law get it? Does he know someone from the winery?"
"Hey! How about saying that the educated youth has good literary talent! The newsletter he wrote for the winery was submitted to the newspaper, and the winery gave him a jar of daughter's red."
"..."
OK, OK! I know your son-in-law is capable! Your daughter is promising! Can you stop talking about it every day?
If this continues, they all want to stuff their useless sons and daughters back into their mothers’ wombs and give birth to them again!
The fifth day of September is a good time to get married.
After the autumn harvest, there was a lingering autumn rain for ten days, and it didn't clear up until two days ago.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the autumn air is crisp.
The fiery autumn sun is so bright and red that it seems to be coated with a layer of festive red.
Xu Yin wore a red wedding dress made by herself, and stood with Xu Chengjin in a deep navy blue tunic suit. They looked like a match made in heaven.
