"But we are indeed responsible for this matter. Mainly because we didn't expect that the He family would be so determined to find their way here. But don't worry, in-laws, this matter will never happen again." Li Xiulian, as Su My mother, who joined the army, immediately expressed her stance.
"That's right, if there weren't so many people today, I would have to slap her!" Zhang Xinlan looked angrily. Although she likes to care about family matters, she naturally stands firmly on her own side when it comes to matters that are always external. side.
Su Congjun also promised: "Master, Master, this kind of thing will never happen again. I will not let Sisi suffer injustice with me."
Wen Kaifu and Wen's mother looked at each other and said nothing.
Seeing this, Wen Sisi stepped forward and held her parents' hands, "Oh, aren't we talking about Brother Congjun and me today? Let's not let irrelevant people ruin this mood."
Wen Kaifu looked at his daughter, who was winking at him, helplessly. He tapped her nose and said, "You, you." It's true that a girl can't be spared.
The Su family cannot be blamed for this matter. They are also victims. Forget it, there is no point in holding on to her. The two children are still important.
"Okay, let's just talk about the two children." Wen Kaifu finally showed a kind smile.
"Ouch! It's a good idea, we have to discuss this carefully." Wu Guixiang beamed instantly, and the Su family collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother Wen also smiled and said, "Why don't you eat first? This dish has been heated on the stove several times."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first. I forgot about it." Wen Kaifu patted his head, "Quick, quick, let's eat first. We must be hungry after working for so long."
"Then we won't be polite." Su Aiguo said.
Wen Sisi and Su Congjun went to serve the dishes. Taking advantage of this interval, Su Aiguo introduced everyone in the family, which almost made Wen Kaifu and Wen's mother faint.
Wen Kaifu said: "Your family is really prosperous!"
Speaking of this, Wu Guixiang became proud. The prosperity of the city was not entirely due to her, "It's lively when there are many people. When Sisi gets married, it will be even more lively."
Wen Sisi, who had just sat down, blushed instantly, and Su Congjun smiled sheepishly.
"Oh! Looking at the two children, they are still shy." Zhang Xinlan laughed.
"Everyone, eat the food, eat the food." Mother Wen greeted her daughter, who was even more embarrassed.
"Okay, okay."
Everyone moved their chopsticks.
Su Qingyun served her parents some vegetables, "Mom and dad, you just have to try this fish. Auntie's cooking is so good. I still remember it after eating it last time."
Mother Wen was amused by her and said, "Then you should eat more."
Wen Kaifu remembered something and said to Wen's mother: "Bring the bottle of wine you brought from the army last time. If you are happy today, take a few sips."
"Okay." Mother Wen stood up and went to get it.
Su Aiguo smiled and said, "In-laws, I will drink some with you."
"That's good."
After one or two glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the table instantly became lively. Everyone chatted in twos and threes, and then returned to the marriage of their two children.
Su Aiguo put down his wine glass and said, "In-laws, tell me, as long as our Su family can afford this wedding gift, we will agree to it."
The people at the table also stopped other sounds at this moment, and pricked up their ears to listen to the Wen family's opinions.
Wen Kaifu took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment and said, "We in the Wen family only have one daughter, Sisi, and we don't have any excessive demands. We don't ask for three turns and one ring. You can just give her the bride price."
The Su family's eyes widened, that's it? What is the difference between this and no requirement? Is it that easy for a city girl to get married?
Su Aimin glanced at the decorations of the Wen family and understood in her heart that the Wen family's parents were both working, and their family was rich and they did not lack the gift money. As long as joining the army was good to their daughter, besides, the Su family would still be able to do so. They will think of this good thing and treat their daughter better, why not do it?
Su Aiguo thought for a while and said, "The in-laws are considerate of us, but we, the Su family, still have to show our sincerity. In this way, according to what Congjun's mother and I discussed before, we will pay a bride price of sixty-six yuan."
The betrothal gift of sixty-six yuan was the result of a discussion between the whole family. This number is already the maximum value of the betrothal gift that the Su family can afford. Plus the other various things needed for the wedding, one hundred yuan is not enough. Fortunately, the Su family had already saved the money for Su Congjun before his marriage. Moreover, he was now working and the family had an extra income.
"Okay, we have no objection."
"Of course, we still have to hold banquets." Wen Kaifu continued, "Let's just hold two banquets. You have many relatives there, so hold one. We have to hold one here too. So many workers and neighbors have to invite us. It’s a happy event for those who come to eat and drink, and secondly, today’s rumors will be disproven.”
"The in-laws have considered it carefully, so let's do it like this!" Li Xiulian nodded hurriedly. This small request is naturally not excessive.
"That's good." Wen Kaifu nodded with satisfaction.
"There is another question." Wen's mother thought for a while and said, "That's what we thought about the issue of accommodation after Sisi and Congjun got married. Congjun now lives in a dormitory in the factory, with several people per room. That kind of place is obviously not suitable to live in after getting married.”
"Although Congjun is an apprentice now, he is diligent and studious. He should be able to become a full-time employee in two or three months at most. By then, he and Sisi will be a dual-employee couple in the factory and can apply for housing. They should be able to apply for a one-bedroom apartment. Although the small house is small, it is definitely enough to live in. But during this period of time, if you have no objections, let Congjun live in our house. During this break, let Sisi follow Congjun back to your place. Do you know your opinion?"
Mother Wen said this with some hesitation. In today's society, if a son-in-law lives at the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he will be called the one who knocks on the door. This gossip does not sound good.
this? The Su family looked at each other.
"What's the point? Congjun is a grown man, is he still afraid of people gossiping?" Wu Guixiang said cheerfully, "You are willing to let Congjun live here, but we still have to say thank you, which makes Sisi feel wronged."
"Nothing wronged, Nai." Wen Sisi said with a sweet smile. The Su family were so kind, which made her feel nervous.
"That would be great." Mother Wen also smiled kindly.
Li Xiulian took out a piece of paper from her pocket and wrote a date on it. She handed it to the three Wen family members and said, "This is the day I went to see my husband. The fifteenth day of next month is a great day. In-laws, if you haven't No matter what your opinion, we will arrange the happy event on this day."
Wen Kaifu didn't expect that the Su family was so well prepared. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, we have no objections."
Li Xiulian: "Okay, let's start preparations when we get back."
The marriage was finally settled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Su Qingyun listened to the adults going back and forth like this for several rounds, and sighed. The eldest brother's marriage was really full of twists and turns, but fortunately, it finally has a good result.
After talking about the business, they happily ate and drank. As they were eating, Su Qingyun suddenly looked up at the clock on the wall. He was startled and asked Su Congwu, "Third brother, how long will it take for you to take the exam?"
Su Congwu ate without raising his head, "Two o'clock, what's wrong?"
"It's half past one." Su Qingyun patted him anxiously, "Hurry, hurry, it's too late."
"What?" Zhang Xinlan on the side was also startled. Seeing that Su Congwu was still eating, she was so anxious that she slapped him on the head, "You unlucky kid, stop eating and go to the exam quickly!"
"Immediately, immediately." Su Congwu quickly finished the last bite of rice in the bowl and stood up, "Uncle and aunt, Sister Sisi, you eat slowly, I'll leave first."
"Wait, third brother, I'll go with you." Su Qingyun quickly stopped him and said to her parents, "I'm going to the library to return the books."
The brother and sister left in a hurry.
Wu Guixiang muttered, "These two children are as anxious as if they were chased away by dogs."
The intimidating Zhang Xinlan: "..."
After leaving the family courtyard, the brother and sister headed towards the textile factory and the county library.
In the county library, Mr. Chu is still the only one guarding it. Even if he encounters injustice, his expression is still calm, without any embarrassment, and he accepts his fate calmly. His eyes glance over every book, as if he is reading Just like your beloved child.
What Su Qingyun admires most in his life is a person with a persistent heart. Mr. Chu is exactly this kind of person. If he does not change his heart, he will achieve enlightenment.
Seeing her coming in, Mr. Chu had a smile on his face, "Xiao Su is here?"
"Grandpa Chu, I'm here to return the books." Su Qingyun handed over the books he borrowed last time.
Mr. Chu was a little surprised, "You can finish reading in such a short piece?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun nodded, "I usually have nothing to do, so I just read a little faster."
Mr. Chu's eyes were still a little surprised. The last time Su Qingyun borrowed books, he couldn't believe that even if these mathematics journals were taken to universities, today's college students may not be able to understand them.
"Do you have any articles you like?" Mr. Chu asked tentatively.
"This one." Su Qingyun found the Journal of Mathematics in April this year. "There is an article in it about a stabilization problem of linear systems in Hilbert spaces. It's quite interesting."
"Oh?" Mr. Chu also became interested, "What do you think?"
Su Qingyun thought for a while and said: "Cybernetics is a discipline founded by mathematicians as early as the 1940s. There were also scientists in our country who mentioned it in their 1954 book "Engineering Cybernetics"..."
Su Qingyun didn't speak very fast, but as she narrated, Mr. Chu's eyes became brighter and brighter as she listened, and he looked at Su Qingyun almost in admiration.
Her thinking and insights were not inferior to those of a mature scholar. Mr. Chu's eyes turned red with excitement. He did not expect that in such a remote county, he could meet such a talented child!
