Chapter 412: The House Ruiner in the 1970s (43)

Xu Chengjin crossed her arms and leaned against the wall pillar, looking at Xu Yin with a half-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 words and say that she doesn’t know, that she doesn’t know her, and that she just said casually?

 “What, I’m going to cook! You translate slowly.”

 She turned and ran away.

Xu Chengjin chuckled lightly and did not ask her further.

Everyone has a secret, so why bother getting to the bottom of it?

 As for the secret about his future wife...he liked it very much.

　　After that day, Xu Yin had another item in her leisure routine after dinner: she was dragged by this guy to discuss the plot in the translation, and sometimes he asked 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?

 "Attend?" He raised his index finger and flicked her forehead.

 “Huh? No. What did you just ask?”

Xu Yin felt a little guilty after being caught complaining. She looked down at the string of words he pointed at the translation manuscript and translated it smoothly without thinking:

“…As before, 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 premeditated 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..."

　　　…”

 Get some 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 his best! 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, will you still suffer from heatstroke in this weather?

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. Why are you wearing it now?"

“Whether you bought it or not? That’s not the same as not buying it.” Xu Laosan muttered, “Besides, aren’t you guys going to have a wedding soon? I have to wear some new clothes to have a wedding banquet.”

"I don't think I 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 do I think if you turn out the light?”

“You have to take off your clothes and still have to light a lamp to watch?”

 “I appreciate it again…”

　　　…”

 In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of August, 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.

 Xu Sang didn't know until she returned to her parents' home after the summer harvest 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 a good-looking man and was good at saving money.

 The money for approving land for the family home 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 and help then." Xu Sang took his second sister and chatted as they walked, "When will the bricks and tiles be approved?" Xu Yin said: "The foundation could have been built a long time ago, but not a few days ago It has been raining. If it clears up tomorrow, I plan to start construction. I 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. How come the eldest sister and brother-in-law don’t come to help?

　　Xu Sang will come 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 quantity of bricks and tiles was only enough for her to build three bungalows, so it would not 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 labor-intensive. After all, the stability of a house depends entirely on the foundation.

 Then there is the interior decoration.

 Fortunately, nowadays, if you want to pretend to be sophisticated, you have no choice. Either the materials are lacking, or it is easy for someone to sue you for your capitalist-roading style, which would be bad.

 The interior walls were plastered with whitewash, and the beams and columns were painted with water-proof and insect-proof paint. Then they were ventilated, and 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. It would be enough to give it a festive feel.

Therefore, Xu Yin is not in a hurry, and it will definitely be done before the ninth month of the lunar calendar.

When Mr. Xu and his family arrived, the main hall of Mr. Xu’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 cousins-in-law came to help early in the morning.

When I saw Chen Huilan, my sister-in-law, not only did she arrive at this point, but after she arrived, she sat down to eat melon seeds like other relatives and friends. She 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 have any dealings with the two sisters-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 she was full was when Xu Yin 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.

 Hence the dissatisfaction with the bosses has risen to a high level.

Hearing what his eldest sister-in-law said at this moment, 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 lazy and lazy. Who could 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 also lazy when she came to 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 doesn't care what these people think of her, she is so lazy that she doesn't even dislike her own daughter, and outsiders think whatever they want.

She leisurely finished cracking a handful of melon seeds, got up and went to the kitchen of her husband'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! There will be meat and vegetables at home tomorrow!"

Xu Sang pursed his lips and smiled, not surprised at all.

Xu Yin said with a black line: "Don't do it! In addition to the relatives on our side, there are also 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. It's not good to see it."

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone is like this." Xu Laosan said nonchalantly while chewing melon seeds.
