Two days after the weekend family gathering, Xiang Mianmian went to Xinhua Bookstore to borrow some books.
After I came back, I told my sister-in-law that I had bought the book on accounting thinking and she could read it with confidence.
She didn't want to argue, so she didn't return the extra money in the red envelope.
What I hate most is this kind of false ceremony. One person doesn't want to give, and the other wants to receive, but they have to pretend to refuse, and sometimes it's possible to tear their pockets.
Wang Chunting also likes such generous girls.
Why bother with all that nonsense? Give generously and receive generously. If you can't afford it, don't give!
Both the aunt and the sister-in-law were very satisfied.
In addition, Wang Chunting was determined to maintain a good relationship with An You, and the Xiang family's minor flaws were also made up, and the family worked together.
It is really important to marry the right wife. As the old saying goes: A good wife brings less trouble to her husband, which makes a lot of sense.
A wife handles interpersonal relationships well in the family, and a large part of family harmony depends on the wife. Never underestimate the role of women. You can look at Huo Guang for a specific example.
On the other side, the Chen family.
Chen Erni returned home from work at the steel plant in high spirits. She got this job from Qi Yu, and she had put in 100% effort and held on to it tightly.
He ignored the rumors about Qi Yu and put all the discussions of his fellow workers behind him.
She is not a thin-skinned unmarried girl who would kill herself if she heard a few gossips about her.
Anyway, it's just a matter of losing two pieces of meat, and it won't affect her salary next month, so why take it seriously?
Her two daughters are crying for food at home, and now they are still living with their parents. The little money in her pocket cannot give them a sense of security, so she has to bite the bullet and go on no matter how difficult it is.
Besides, this job is just a little bit difficult. Her colleagues still teach her how to do things normally at work, so it’s not that hard to bear.
When I got home, my sister Chen Sanni had already finished work and was at home. She was changing her little niece's diaper with an impatient look on her face.
The little daughter is only over one year old, but she is already very sensible. At this moment, she is obediently lifting her legs to let her third aunt change her diaper, with a timid smile on her face.
Although Chen Sanni does not have children, she took care of her two younger brothers, Chen Wei and Chen Liang, when they were young, and is quite skilled at changing diapers.
With the cooperation of the little girl, she just endured the taste and did not act roughly.
Chen Sanni was a temporary worker at the match factory because Chen Wei had given her three jobs as a reward for inventing the lighter. The Chen family lived in the factory's staff quarters, so it was naturally faster for them to get home since they lived just across the wall.
Chen Erni felt relieved and went to tease her little daughter: "Is Qiaoyun being a good girl today?"
She hated the fact that she didn't have a good name since she was a child. The three sisters of the Chen family arbitrarily named themselves Da Ni, Er Ni, and San Ni, and grew up in this way.
How many Ernis are there on one street? I can’t even count them!
If an adult calls out "Erni" on the street, at least a dozen girls will pop out to answer. It can be said that her name is everywhere.
So in order to make up for her regret, Chen Erni gave her daughter a nice name.
She once learned a poem that contained the line: "Xianyun Nongqiao," which she thought sounded very nice, so she named her eldest daughter Jiao Xianyun and her youngest daughter Jiao Qiaoyun.
Although in the countryside, her husband's family never took the names given by Chen Erni seriously. When they were in a good mood, they would call the two children Da Ni and Er Ni, and when they were in a bad mood, they would call them "silly girls" and "money-losing goods".
But after arriving in the county town, Chen Erni solemnly registered the two children and introduced her daughter's name to her family, so everyone started calling her that.
Jiao Qiaoyun giggled. She was slow in learning to speak, so she uttered a few words at a time: "Mom, you're back~"
Touched by her daughter's cute smile, Chen Erni picked her up and said, "Yes, mom is back. Are you good at home? Where's your sister?"
She looked around the house and didn't see her eldest daughter Jiao Xianyun.
Normally, Jiao Xianyun should go to a nursery school at her age, but Chen Erni has just started working and is not familiar with the situation yet, so she can only ask next month when things are stable.
Chen Sanni sat on the chair next to her and looked at her niece's toothy smile. She couldn't help but smile herself: "Xianyun went to play at the next door's house."
There are many children in the neighborhood, and it is normal for children of similar age to play together.
Chen Erni teased Jiao Qiaoyun for a while, and when she had enough, she sat down and turned around to ask in a low voice: "What's going on between you and that kid from the Ming family? Are you really not going to live a good life?"
Hearing about the Ming family, Chen Sanni's face darkened: "Why mention that bastard?!"
She only hated herself for being blind. Among so many people who came to propose marriage, she chose such a snobbish bastard!
Before marriage, Mingsen could be said to be a model of a good man. He was caring, considerate, and had the highest emotional value. Every aspect of him was impeccable.
Not to mention a girl like Chen Sanni who had no experience in the world, she even managed to deceive the cunning and experienced Chen parents.
In the eyes of many people, except for having had a wife, Chen Sanni is inferior to the disguised Mingsen in every way.
After all, Chen Sanni is young and energetic and doesn't know how to disguise herself. How many times has she rejected the matchmaker during blind dates?
She doesn't want to marry someone of equal status, but she complains about everything if she marries someone of higher status. The key point is that she has no special skills, and the man is also picky about her.
It was delayed until she was 19 years old, and she got married in a hurry when her younger brother Chen Wei was getting married.
Even though Mingsen dealt Chen Erni a double blow on the wedding day by giving her a mobile wedding house and a gift money to pay back the betrothal gift, Chen Erni still felt that he was a good man.
But, pretending is just pretending after all.
It's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. No matter how hard one tries to pretend, one's true nature will eventually be exposed. Mingsen endured it for a year or two, but finally exploded.
