Chapter 414 Disturbing Housewives in the 1970s (45)

Returning to the topic of gift money: "Yuanyuan, the gift money given by your in-law's family is too little! We know that our family has to manage two ends, so why do we give so much money? The gift money given to a daughter-in-law in a dual-career family is more than this. "

  As for the money given by relatives, it is not enough to cover one or two meat dishes. This banquet was a failure!

  Xu Yuanyuan, who was already upset and irritable, became more and more upset when her mother said this: "How would I know! Aren't you very satisfied with this marriage? Guo Zhijun's family may not be satisfied, thinking that I am superior!"

Zou Caifen suppressed her displeasure and said, "I didn't say anything, I just thought your mother-in-law was a bit stingy... It's okay, let's lose money! It's enough for you to marry well. Your father and I have no other requirements, as long as you Pull your elder brother and let him become a regular worker, and our family will be complete in this life!"

   "Let's talk about this later!"

  Xu Yuanyuan didn't know what to do. I always feel that my mother-in-law is not so easy to get along with.

  …

  As soon as the family had finished the wedding ceremony of Mrs. Xu, all the relatives and friends were looking forward to the wedding ceremony of Mrs. Xu's family.

   On the way back, I made fun of Mr. Xu:

   "Third brother, your brother's family has served six big meat dishes. When it's your turn, why do you want the whole eight big meat dishes?"

  Recruiting a son-in-law at home is equivalent to marrying a daughter-in-law in the man's family. Naturally, it is more solemn than marrying a daughter in the woman's family.

  Xu Laosan subconsciously wanted to respond, and then 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!

   Waved his hand: "My second daughter is in charge of the house, and she has the final say! She can do big things if she wants to, and keep things simple."

  Everyone: "..."

Hey! Now he's smart enough to stop bragging.

   Xu Laosan: Bragging has to be capitalized! My son-in-law invited me to smoke a bag of filter tips. Where does the capital come from? He's not the boss, he gets a salary of around 30 yuan a month. Where can I get the money?

  Xu Yin quietly gave her father a thumbs up: How much ability can do as many things, that's right! No bragging!

  Xu Laosan blushed: I have nothing in my pocket, and I can’t blow it even if I want to!

  Seeing the interaction between the father and daughter, Xu Chengjin felt thoughtful in his eyes. When he got home, he blocked Xu Yin in the room: "Do you want to do it big or simple? If it's just because of money, I can find a way."

Xu Yin poked at his firm chest: "Why bother mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people for the sake of gaining face for a while. Our family is already poor, and the poor and lower-middle peasants are the most honorable. There is no shame in doing things simpler. Besides, you have already taken out A sum of money has been spent to build a new house, if the banquet is held more grandly than my uncle's house, what will others think? Will our house be peaceful by then?"

  Xu Chengjin took her poking hand and stroked her slender fingers: "Don't you feel wronged?"

Xu Yin laughed: "Are you feeling wronged for those guests who came to the wedding banquet? What can I feel wronged about? Life is for myself, not for others to see. If you have money, you have more meat and vegetables, but if you don't The money is more than the whole vegetarian dish, I'm not that stupid, if I borrow money to hold a banquet, isn't it me who suffers later?"

  Hearing what she said, Xu Chengjin couldn't help but hug her into his arms.

  He thought: He really found a treasure!

  How can there be such a unique and beautiful person!

  It was so good that he was reluctant to let her go out.

   Many wolf cubs in the brigade stared at her and secretly liked her. If they were not blocked by the threshold of "door-to-door son-in-law", who would get him?

   "Cough!" Xu Laosan stood at the door of the main room with his hands behind his back, "Daughter, it's sunny, take it easy!"

   "..."

  Before the autumn harvest, Xu Yin's new house was finally completed.

  On the day of going to the beam, I threw a few steamed buns of coarse grains to the relatives and friends who came to help, set off a string of firecrackers, and moved into the new home with great excitement.

   It didn't take long for the autumn harvest to come.

  In addition to double work points, Xu Yin also earned a bunch of energy points.

  She is now the main labor force member of the second production brigade, and the secretary conveyed the original words of the commune cadres: next year she will be elected to the county to evaluate model workers.

  With such a big carrot hanging in front of the nose, Xu Laosan and his wife don't have the nerve to hold back their daughter.

  The secretary said that when the county-level model workers were evaluated, reporters would come down to interview them, so they got up early and worked in the dark every day, humming with exhaustion.

   Fortunately, there is a massage oil contributed by my daughter. Press it before going to bed, and the next day will be another day of winning full work points.

  Xu Chengjin is not expected to go to the fields. The youngest Xu has known about it for a long time, and he also knows that the money his son-in-law earns with a pen is far more than the money and food he gets in exchange for full work points, so what is there to dislike? Anyway, the same thing is to make money, no matter what he will do or not.

  So, when others said harshly that his son-in-law is a little boy who can't lift his shoulders or hands, he rolled up his sleeves and ended up fighting with others:

"Fart! You're a badass! My son-in-law can do it! The manuscript fee he earns can make me smoke filters and drink Laobaigan every day, can you? If you can't, just shut up! Why are you talking nonsense! Let me hear you again Gobble your tongue like a bitch, let me see if I don't break your front teeth!"

  After a few times, who would dare to tell his son-in-law right and wrong behind his back!

  After Xu Chengjin heard about it, during the most bitter and tiring days of the autumn harvest, he went to the city early, bought a whole filter for his old father-in-law who was protecting him, and returned with two bottles of wine and a knife of meat.

   Now, Xu Laosan is even more energetic. Before going to work every day, he will walk around the field with his head held high like a leader inspecting, showing off the filter he has stuck to his ear: "My son-in-law bought it!"

  Everyone: "..."

   Can't afford to be provoked!

  After the autumn harvest, it is time to distribute food and money. The grain distributed in the first half of the year is only a small part, and the bulk will be after the autumn harvest.

  The hard work has finally paid off.

  Who is the winner? Needless to say, it must be Xu's family.

   "Third brother, your family will have a good year this year."

   "That's not true! The work points earned by the third child this year are more than what he has earned in the past ten years."

  Xu Laosan was in a good mood and let them joke, but instead invited them cheerfully:

   "In a few days it will be my Yinyin's wedding day, come all of you! My son-in-law got a pot of daughter's red, not much meat and vegetables, but enough wine!"

   "Yo! My daughter is red? Return the whole jar? How did your son-in-law get it? Does he know someone from the winery?"

   "Hey! How about the educated youth's literary talents! The newsletter he wrote for the winery has been submitted, and the winery gave him a pot of daughter red."

   "..."

   Let's go! 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' stomachs and have a new life!

  The fifth day of September is suitable for marriage.

  After the autumn harvest, there was a lingering autumn rain for more than ten days, and it didn't clear up until two days ago.

   On the fifth day of the lunar new year, the sky was blue and white, and the autumn air was crisp.

  The fiery red autumn sun is bright red, as if coated with a layer of festive red.

  Xu Yin was wearing a red wedding dress she made herself, and Xu Chengjin, who was wearing a dark blue Chinese tunic suit, stood together, like a pair made in heaven.
