The 83rd day of being eavesdropped on

"This is a good thing. Your director is right. Don't tell anyone."

He Chunlian was immediately happy to learn that her daughter could go to college for further studies and planned to buy more pork to make a hot pot of pork tonight to celebrate.

Gu Yinxing said, "Mom, I will definitely not tell anyone. It's just that going to college will probably take four years, and there will be no salary during these four years."

Liang Ying said, "It's okay if there is no salary. Our family doesn't need your salary to support the family now. Besides, this opportunity to go to college is rare. Others can't even hope for it. Don't be stupid."

"Yes, at worst, Mom will give you money later." He Chunlian said decisively.

Gu Yousi couldn't help but sigh that his aunt was really lucky.

The opportunity to go to university is estimated to be available only in the next few years under special circumstances, and you can get a formal diploma. After a few years, there will be enough national doctors. If you want to have this opportunity again, you can only go through thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge and take the university entrance examination.

The qualification certificate examination is a world of difference compared to this opportunity. In the future, the academic requirements will become higher and higher. It is very difficult to get promoted in the hospital with only a qualification certificate, and you are a latecomer. However, it is different if you graduate from a formal university. Not only will the hospital reuse you, but you can also catch up with the good opportunity for cadre promotion.

Gu Yinxing had originally wanted to go to college, and after hearing her niece's thoughts, she made up her mind, "Don't worry, I will study hard. When I graduate and have a successful career, I will be the head of the family in the future." "

Is it your turn?"

Gu Jinshui tapped her head, "Don't think too much, just do the things in front of you first. You have to be careful in these two months, don't make any mistakes again."

"Brother, this is definitely not enough."

Gu Yinxing covered her head and gave Gu Jinshui an unhappy look.

If it weren't for her brother's help this time, Gu Yinxing would definitely bounce back. When she talked about this with Yan Qian, she looked angry and pointed at her forehead and said, "Look at my head, is there a bulge?"

Yan Qian handed her the soda and couldn't help but smile. "How can it be so exaggerated? I think I'm fine, still the same as before. Don't be angry. This time it's because of you. "It's a blessing in disguise, how about I treat you to some Russian food?"

Gu Yinxing took the drink and swallowed after hearing this, "I'm not angry, I'm just unhappy that he looks down on me. Can't I be the head of the family? When I go to college, I will definitely work hard and become very successful in the future. I will have a successful career and become a famous doctor. Then, he will know that I'm not bragging." Yan

Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

This little girl has a really big tone.

"What? What are you laughing at? You don't believe me?" Gu Yinxing squinted at him with a threatening look in her eyes.

Yan Qian waved his hands quickly and put the bottle aside, "No, no, you are so amazing, I may have to count on your help in the future. I never thought that my partner is so ambitious, it's amazing, amazing, you must give me a chance to treat me today."

Gu Yinxing was flattered and was very happy.

She muttered in her mouth, but the smile on her face could not be removed.

During the meal, Gu Yinxing told Yan Qian about her plan. She planned to study hard at home after work in the next two months. After all, although she didn't have to take the college entrance examination, she still had to learn what she should learn after entering university. Yan Qian listened to

her mumbling about how difficult math and English were, and her eyebrows were always smiling.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back."

After sending Gu Yinxing home, Yan Qian took a few packed dishes back to the military compound where the two elders lived. The two elders loved Russian food, especially Grandma Yan's favorite Russian sausage.

Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan hadn't eaten yet. Hearing the noise, Grandma Yan came out, "Yan Qian, you're back at the right time. It's time for us to eat. I'll ask Xiao Liu to get you some bowls and chopsticks."

"Grandma, I've eaten outside, and I packed a few dishes for you. You can try them and see if they taste good."

Yan Qian put down the lunch box and asked Xiao Liu to go to the kitchen to get a few bowls and plates to serve.

Grandma Yan's face was full of love, "Okay, okay, you went out to eat with Xiao Gu, right?"

Yan Qian looked a little embarrassed.

He coughed, "Grandma."

Grandma Yan smiled and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You should go out and play more." Grandpa

Yan was reading a newspaper, and suddenly put it down and said, "I heard that something happened at Xiao Gu's hospital. Did they make a mistake?"

Yan Qian was a little surprised.

He looked at Grandma Yan in confusion.

Grandma Yan hurriedly exchanged glances with Grandpa Yan. Grandpa Yan's hair was gray and his expression was very serious. He shook the newspaper in his hand and said, "What's there to hide? If you made a mistake, you should admit it. It's not shameful to make a mistake. What's shameful is to know the mistake and not change it."

Grandma Yan said, "Why are you saying these things, old man? I think Xiao Gu is a good person. This might be nonsense made up by that woman."

Grandma Yan was eager to protect Yan Qian. Yan Qian finally found a partner and their relationship was so good. Liu Yulan was really good at making trouble. She even came to say that he made a mistake in the hospital. Wasn't she deliberately looking for trouble?

"What do you know? These are character issues. You have to ask clearly."

Grandpa Yan looked serious and his attitude was very firm.

Yan Qian smiled and said, "Grandpa has a point, but this is a misunderstanding..."

A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he told Gu Yinxing everything.

"Yinxing also said that this time she can go to college is a rare opportunity for her, and she must study hard and serve the country in the future." Yan Qian looked like a strict person, but in fact he was very smooth when he needed to be smooth.

He was worried that the two elders would think that Gu Yinxing got this opportunity by luck, so he embellished Gu Yinxing's words.

"I said that Xiao Gu didn't look like a careless person. Look, I really misunderstood the girl!" Grandma Yan rolled her eyes at Grandpa Yan. "If you can believe that woman's words, the sun would be rising from the west. Yan Qian, go back and tell the girl to study hard. If she doesn't understand, come and ask me. Although your grandmother has graduated for many years, she has not fallen behind in her studies. I was the one who helped your grandmother Wu's grandson with his studies."

"That's great. Yinxing said that she was worried that she couldn't catch up with her classmates in her studies. Grandma, you are so smart. If you give her a little guidance," Yan Qian said, "there is no need to worry about Yinxing's studies."

Grandpa Yan stopped talking, obviously acquiescing.

Yan Qian stayed in the courtyard of the two elders for one night and left the next day. Before leaving, he took away a bunch of supplements, snacks and candies that the old lady had stuffed into his house.

The old man and his wife had many friends and students in the past, especially the old lady. She used to be a university professor. Although she retired early, every time the students returned to Beijing, they would visit the old lady and bring local specialties every time.

The two elders were in good health and had doctors to take care of them. These supplements and snacks were simply too much to eat. In the past, they were given to relatives and friends, and now of course they are given to grandchildren and their wives.

Yan Qian rushed to the big courtyard before going to work. The seven or eight bags of things in his hands were really too eye-catching.

He Chunlian felt embarrassed and said, "Xiao Yan, there's really no need to give me these. You see, you always buy things for our family," especially when taking her daughter out to eat, drink and have fun. Ever since she talked to Yan Ren about dating, her daughter's face has at least become brighter. "Why don't you take these nice things back and give them to your leaders and colleagues?"

"Auntie, these are specially told by my grandmother to be given to your family."

Yan Ren said, "I can't explain if you don't accept them."

After that, he put the things down without saying a word, and then said to come back after work and hurried to work.

Aunt Sun from next door came over and looked at the things on the ground. She couldn't help but reveal an envious look on her face, "Sister, you found a good son-in-law. He is really thoughtful! Look at all these things."

Although He Chunlian wanted to say that she didn't care about these, she couldn't help but feel vain in her heart, "Oh, that's right, this little Yan is too honest. He sends me things every other day. I feel embarrassed. Auntie, here is a bag of candies for you to take back and sweeten your mouth." "

Oh, how can I feel embarrassed?"

Aunt Sun blushed.

He Chunlian could see her embarrassment and forced the gift into her hand. "Why are you being so polite to our family? You have watched Yinxing and the others grow up. When we have a banquet, we will invite you and your wife to sit at the main table."

After hearing this, Auntie Sun accepted it with embarrassment. He Chunlian took the opportunity to say that Gu Yinxing was wrongly accused. Auntie Sun was filled with righteous indignation and scolded Lin Fengxian to death. Then she went back.

"You are really rich. You just gave away such a big bag of candy!"

Huang Xirong's strange voice came from the door of the east room.

He Chunlian ignored her. She didn't give this bag of candy for nothing. Auntie Sun was a chatterbox. If she gave such a bag of candy to others, they would definitely tell others that Gu Yinxing was wrongly accused. A bag of candy could solve all the gossips in the compound. That was too much. Auntie Sun obviously heard what Huang Xirong said

. She was embarrassed. Although she didn't dare to go out and argue with Huang Xirong, she didn't knock him in front of her, but she would beat him behind her back.

In less than half a day, Auntie Sun told everyone in the compound that Yan Jian came to give gifts and that Gu Yinxing was wrongly accused.

When saying this, Auntie Sun did not forget to make things worse, "Hey, look at what other sons-in-law gave, these are all foreign candies, we can't even afford to buy them, and look at that son-in-law, he's getting married in a few days, but he didn't give anything to his mother-in-law's house, this person is really annoying."

"Auntie Sun, didn't you hear that her son-in-law has good conditions?"

Widow Zhao ate candy and pointed towards the backyard, no need to say who she was talking about.

Auntie Sun snorted, "The conditions are good, but people with a hundred may not be willing to spend fifty on them, if you don't believe me, just wait and see, didn't they invite us to the wedding? We'll know when we see what dishes they serve that day."

How could Song Mei not know about these rumors in the compound.

She had bought a red dress and was happily showing off in front of the mirror. When she heard Huang Xirong say this, she burst into tears.

"What do you mean? You're saying that the man I found is not as good as the one Gu Yinxing found, right?"

Song Mei sat on the kang and wiped her tears. She didn't even want to change her clothes.

Huang Xirong said, "You can't blame others for saying that. Donglai has been mean recently. He used to come to our house frequently, but he hasn't been seen much these past few days, and he hasn't sent anything."

Huang Xirong tugged at her skirt and glanced at the lady.

Song Mei was proud, and she felt wronged when she heard this. "What's his attitude? Is he dissatisfied with our dowry? But why doesn't he go to other places in Beijing to ask around? Isn't this the case with all families? Ours is considered a good one, and we haven't even deducted his gift!"

"Hey, Xiaomei, these are all trivial matters,"

Huang Xirong sighed, "The most important thing is that everyone is waiting to attend your wedding banquet. If we hold the banquet according to the dishes the Zhao family asked for, our family will really become a laughing stock."

Song Mei's lips moved, "Mom, do you want me to ask Donglai to add a few hard dishes?"

Huang Xirong walked over and patted Song Mei on the shoulder, "My dear girl, mom knows it's not easy for you, but you have to think about it. You will only get married once in your life. If you don't do it well, those people outside will probably laugh at you for the rest of your life. You should discuss it with Donglai. Their family is not short of money and tickets, and they only have one son. If you don't spend money now, when will you spend it?"

Huang Xirong had his own plans for what he said.

She wanted to compete with He Chunlian. He Chunlian had found a son-in-law who was good and generous. Zhao Donglai was already inferior to him. If the wedding was not good enough, how could he face people?

Song Mei was soft-hearted and indecisive. Originally, because of the lack of dowry, the Zhao family was a little ashamed of Zhao Donglai. But now, after listening to her mother's words, she felt that it was the Zhao family who had let her down.

On the day before the wedding, Song Mei ran to find Zhao Donglai.

Zhao Donglai was at work. When he heard her coming, he was stunned for a moment. He told his colleagues a few words before coming out. He went to the alley with Song Mei, "Xiao Mei, is there something wrong? We are getting married tomorrow."

The Zhao family is quite traditional. They insist that the unmarried couple cannot see each other for a few days before the wedding. That is why Zhao Donglai has not visited Song Mei in the past few days.

Song Mei was full of grievances, with red eyes, "Donglai, we are having a wedding tomorrow. Do you really plan to set out a few dishes like that, and also the cigarettes and alcohol..."

She sobbed as she spoke.

Zhao Donglai's heart skipped a beat. He had guessed Song Mei's intention and forced a smile, saying, "Xiao Mei, our family has already spent a lot of money on our wedding. This TV, sewing machine, and watch cost so much money. If the banquet costs more, my parents will not be happy."

"Not happy, but you are your parents' only child."

Song Mei couldn't believe it, and her voice was a little sharp.

Zhao Donglai saw her distorted expression and stepped back subconsciously, with a look of shock on his face, as if he had not expected Song Mei to react like this.

Song Mei saw his expression and realized that it was too obvious. She quickly lowered her head and adjusted her hair. "I mean, marriage is a lifelong thing. If it is done badly, not only will we be laughed at, but you will be laughed at too."

Song Mei's eyes were red, and she looked at Zhao Donglai pitifully. "Donglai, you don't know that those people are waiting to see us laugh at, especially Gu Yinxing, she, she said..." "

What did she say?!"

When Zhao Donglai heard the name Gu Yinxing, his face suddenly turned ugly. Although Zhao Donglai didn't say it, he was still brooding over the fact that Gu Yinxing dumped him and was with Yan Qian.

Song Mei pursed her lips and said, "I'd better not tell you. You will definitely be angry if I tell you."

Zhao Donglai said, "You tell me, I promise I won't be angry!"

Song Mei glanced at him and lowered her head, "She said that our banquet will definitely not be as good as hers. If I marry you, I will suffer."

Zhao Donglai was almost furious.

For a man, the greatest insult is the ridicule of his former partner.

Song Mei took advantage of Zhao Donglai's face-saving point. Zhao Donglai immediately changed his mind and asked for leave to go home to discuss how to set up the wine.

When Song Mei saw him leave angrily, she knew that the matter was a sure thing.

The next morning, Song Mei got up early.

It was a rare wedding for the Song family, and Huang Xirong went out early in the morning to buy breakfast. On his way back, he greeted his neighbors along the way: "My daughter is getting married today, you must come." "

Of course." Everyone agreed in front of him.

Huang Xirong even went to Gu's house and said to He Chunmei and others: "He Chunlian, my daughter is getting married, you should also come to join in the fun. Today's banquet is 88 tables. You can't find a better banquet than ours even if you look all over Beijing with a lantern!"

"Okay, let's talk about it later. I'll go when I'm free."

He Chunlian said perfunctorily.

Huang Xirong put her hands on her waist and said with a smile, "Don't be free. We have finished shooting the movie. You can all come. It's okay if you don't bring any gift money."

After saying this, she left in a hurry.

Gu Yinxing was stunned, "Is this still Huang Xirong? She actually said that it's okay if you don't bring any gift money?"

She vaguely remembered that when Song Jianshe got married, if anyone from the big compound went to the wedding banquet without a gift money, Huang Xirong would roll her eyes in front of her.

"What do you know? The gift money will not reach her hands. She is just being generous to others."

He Chunlian obviously understood Huang Xirong better than Gu Yinxing, "Don't pay attention to her. You should go to work. I'll go later."

In fact, if it wasn't for the neighbors, He Chunlian would not be willing to go.

No matter how good the dishes of the 88 banquets were, my family could afford them. If I went, I would have to listen to Huang Xirong's family bragging.

Gu Jinshui and his family didn't go. Only He Chunlian went.

Gu Jinshui went to Chen Dengxing to get the money in the afternoon. The three items were sold at a high price, and they sold for 18,000 yuan. With the money Gu Jinshui had on hand, he had more than enough to buy two courtyard houses.

The landlord was a straightforward person. He asked the lady from the Housing Reform Bureau to help him with the formalities, and then he handed the key to Gu Jinshui neatly and said, "The house is yours now, you can do whatever you want with it. If you really can't handle the third courtyard, just rent out the front part as soon as possible, at least you can get back some of your investment."

It was obvious that the landlord didn't think Gu Jinshui could handle the group of unreasonable people in the third courtyard.

Gu Jinshui smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but I have already planned this."

The landlord looked at him and saw that he was full of confidence, so he couldn't help but get curious, "What are you going to do? It may not be that easy to drive them out. If you don't make a good fuss, they will cry, make a fuss, and then hang themselves. You will be in trouble."

"Well, I'm not going to tell you about this."

Gu Jinshui was not interested in revealing his secrets to others, not to mention that this was all his own business.

The landlord looked at Gu Jinshui with interest, nodded, and said nothing more.

The big sister from the Housing Reform Bureau was very worried about Gu Jinshui. On the way back, she said, "Little Gu, I think you should not go there first. I'll ask someone to go and inform them and see if they can cooperate in moving. Of course, you have to give people some benefits, but as for us, people who wear shoes cannot compete with those who are barefoot. If we can spend a little money to send people away in a friendly manner, there is no need for us to make things too awkward, don't you think?"

Gu Jinshui said, "Big sister, I understand your good intentions, so let's do it according to your wishes first."

"Okay, then you wait for my news, and I'll notify you as soon as I have any news." The big sister also liked Gu Jinshui's straightforward temper. Of course, perhaps more importantly, Gu Jinshui gave a big red envelope.

When they got home, He Chunlian hadn't come back yet, so Gu Jinshui went to buy food and cook. Seeing that his daughter was playing with Mr. Lan's grandson outside, he went to light the stove.

When dinner was almost ready, He Chunlian and the others came back.

Everyone's face was flushed, and they kept talking when they entered the yard.

"Mom, why did you come back so soon?" Liang Ying was curious, "This banquet ended too quickly, didn't it?"

"What do you mean by ending? We left early." Aunt Sun spoke first, "If we didn't leave, we would have to watch people's faces there."

"What's wrong? Why did you get angry at the wedding banquet?"

Gu Jinshui poked his head out of the house and asked.

Grandpa Sun coughed and went into the house, "There's nothing to say, hurry home and cook."

Aunt Sun ignored him, snorted, went into the Gu family's house, asked Gu Jinshui to pour her a glass of water, and said, "You don't know, when we went there, our neighbors looked down on us. It's not like we didn't give any gift money. Grandpa Sun and I gave three yuan, which is not too little, but they looked at us as if we were eating for free. The man's relatives stood next to us, staring at us, looking at us even when we ate a piece of meat or two bites of vegetables. Who can sit still?"

Gu Jinshui was stunned, "How can they be like this? Is there no seat?"

"It's just that there are no seats!" Aunt Sun was so angry that her face turned red. "If they didn't have seats, they should have told us earlier. We could have just held a buffet and finished eating and made room for them quickly. But they said before that they wouldn't have a buffet and would set up dozens of tables, and asked us to fill the place so that it wouldn't look good if not enough people came. As a result, so many people came today and there are not enough seats. They could have just told us if there were not enough seats, and they could have borrowed seats from others. But they made us wait for us. Isn't this just an intentional annoyance?"

"What about the dishes at the banquet?" Liang Ying asked curiously.

He Chunlian: "The dishes are all good, the wine is good, and the cigarettes are good, but who can eat with people staring at them? I think Zhao Donglai's parents are not in a good mood either. They seem innocent after what happened today."

"Okay, let's not talk about them. If we are not welcome, we can go home and eat by ourselves." He Chunlian was not angry at all. This was someone else's business. Aunt Sun cursed a few words and went home to cook. At this time, every family in the compound was busy buying food and cooking. Everyone was preparing to have a wedding banquet today, and no food was bought at all. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen.
