On New Year's Eve, the prospective son-in-law has to go to his mother-in-law's house to give New Year gifts. Among the three festivals and six gifts, the New Year's gift is the most important, and the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are slightly better.

Xiang Liguo went to Wang's house early with the New Year gifts prepared by Zhang Jidi, and Chen Wei also rode a bicycle and brought back a large basket half a person's height, which was full of gifts.

Zhang Jidi said not to spend so much money while smiling from ear to ear.

Which son-in-law can match this gift? Zhang Jidi straightened his back in the family compound and looked at Chen Wei with great satisfaction.

Chen Wei and Xiang Hongqi carried the big basket home and counted out the following: ten pounds of cured meat, ten cured fish, two cured ducks, two jars of rice wine, six packages of cakes, twenty feet of cloth, six pounds of cotton, and even a pair of shoes for each family member.

It was really good stuff, and Zhang Jidi couldn't stop smiling.

"Your family isn't wealthy, why are you spending so much money? Seriously, just sit down and I'll make you two sugar-water eggs to eat first. You can have lunch at home before going back!"

She worked hard and brought a bowl of red date syrup eggs to her new son-in-law. The bowl was full of sugar and contained two eggs.

In the county, this is the most satisfying treatment for the new son-in-law, which represents the recognition of this son-in-law, so the red date and double sugar water egg is also called son-in-law tea.

Chen Wei was very happy and drank up all the tea without leaving a drop of soup.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Zhang Jidi cleaned up with a smile and said, "Meimei, go shopping with your partner and buy some delicious food."

She is packing New Year's goods at home and preparing lunch. Young people have nothing to do and want to go out and have some fun.

He even gave Xiang Lili, Xiang Lihua and Xiang Mianmian fifty cents each in pocket money for the first time, so that the three of them could go out and play and not disturb the young couple.

Xiang Meimei dressed up specially, which made Chen Wei stare at her. He was so happy that he immediately took people to the street to buy snacks.

Along the way, Chen Wei was stared at so hard that his face turned red with embarrassment.

"Why are you looking at me, you idiot? Watch the road?" Xiang Meimei grabbed Chen Wei helplessly.

Chen Wei looked carefully and saw that he was only half a step away from a concrete electric pole. He immediately smiled awkwardly: "Look at you, Meimei, you look really beautiful today."

Xiang Meimei also smiled shyly: "Stop talking so smoothly, didn't you mention the temporary job a few days ago? My mother promised to give it to my third sister."

"Meimei, you're so kind, and thank you for your understanding. I promise that the remaining regular and temporary workers will be kept for Lili and Lihua, and they will never be sent to the countryside!"

Xiang Meimei's expression darkened. "It's a pity that Mianmian still hasn't found a job."

The person she loved most in the family was Xiang Mianmian. Previously, because she was the youngest sister, after hearing the news that she had an official job in the Propaganda Department, she completely treated this sister as her beloved daughter.

Yes, Xiang Mianmian has been raised by Xiang Meimei since she was born. She raised Xiang Mianmian as her own daughter and was most reluctant to leave her little sister when she went out.

Chen Wei immediately stated: "Don't worry, Meimei, I will definitely find a way to find a job for Mianmian and will never let her go to the countryside!"

At work, it was Xiang Mianmian who always sent him messages at critical moments to help him get promoted and get a raise. How could Chen Wei not know how important Xiang Mianmian was to Xiang Meimei?

The truth is that Chen Sanni's situation cannot be delayed any longer, and he happens to have the spare energy, so it would be unreasonable for a brother not to help.

Moreover, Xiang Mianmian is only 7 years old, and there are still 9 years to plan slowly. If one of Chen Sanni and Xiang Mianmian must go to the countryside now, Chen Wei will choose Chen Sanni.

"Under the current circumstances, Third Sister is really anxious. I hope she can find a good family as a temporary worker."

Xiang Meimei was very satisfied that her family could have two out of three jobs, so she was naturally willing to say good things to Chen Wei.

Chen Wei laughed awkwardly: "Yeah, I hope Third Sister can find a good family to marry quickly."

Could he say that Chen Sanni had passed the exam to become a temporary worker before? It was just that she was arrogant and looked down on everyone. She found fault with every marriage proposal. After three years of failing the assessment, she still hadn't found a satisfactory one. I'm afraid it will be difficult this time.

However, this incident did not affect Chen Wei and Xiang Meimei's visit to the New Year Market. The joyous New Year Market was covered with red, including red couplets, red window decorations, and candied haws.

Over at Mianmian's side, the three children each bought a string of candied haws and happily strolled around the New Year's market. There were so many fire-breathing performers and acrobats that they couldn't keep up with the sight.

When it was time for lunch, everyone went home satisfied and had a sumptuous meal. Although Xiang Liguo was not there, they were very happy to have Chen Wei, their new son-in-law.

New Year’s Eve dinner is different. Only the closest family members eat this meal.

Chen Wei declined Zhang Jidi's repeated attempts to keep him and returned to Chen's house. He wanted to have the New Year's Eve dinner with his family. He didn't want Chen's mother to lose her temper over such a small matter.

Naturally, Xiang Liguo, who went to the Wang family to give gifts, also returned before dinner.

However, he brought back some bad news.

"What? Wang Chunyan wants our family's job? Why does she have the right?!" Zhang Ji was surprised.

Xiang Liguo's face was not very good: "Mom, I don't know where my sister-in-law heard that Chen Wei has a job. She said she would use the Hu family's old house to buy our two jobs."

Everyone fell silent and didn't dare to speak.

Chen Wei knew that he got these two jobs because he relied on the paper from Xiang Mianmian and the information about methane liquefaction. He got the honor and salary reward, but he couldn't take the job opportunity for himself.

So he eagerly sent this position to the Xiang family, and even went back for Chen Sanni.

The remaining two, one regular worker and one temporary worker, are backup for the twins Xiang Lihua and Xiang Lili.

After all, he is 11 years old. The construction of the methane plant will take at least three to five years. It is just the right time for him to graduate from junior high school or high school and start working, so he won’t be delayed in anything.

I had planned everything well, but someone came along and took advantage of the situation.
