Chapter 309 The Future Son-in-Law Arrives
Gu Pingshan was very happy when he took the cotton-padded clothes and sweaters made by his daughter-in-law and daughter. He wanted to wear such nice clothes on New Year's Day.
On the first day of the New Year, I would walk around the village in my new clothes, show off to my old friends and make them envy me.
The elderly people all looked at Gu Pingshan and Zhao Changying with envy, wishing they had such filial daughters and daughters-in-law.
Gu Huai took out the cigarettes and gave one to each of his father and three brothers.
Yu Hui divided the vanishing cream into two boxes, two boxes for the old lady, two boxes for Zhao Changying, two boxes each for her three sisters-in-law, and two boxes for Gu Qiuye.
He also gave Gu Qiuye a hairpin, and Gu Bin and Gu Yang each a felt hat.
The rest were all food, which Zhao Changying collected and put into the chest of drawers.
After distributing the food, it was already half past five. Zhao Changying quickly asked Zheng Rong to cook with her. They would have fish and ribs for dinner. As for the beef and pork trotters, they would save them for the New Year when guests came to their house. That would be more face-saving.
Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Zhao Changying stopped them and asked them to rest.
Gu Qiuye helped Yu Hui take their clothes and daily necessities into the room that had been cleaned up for them.
Gu Huai was in the main room talking with his father and brothers.
"This room was cleaned up the day before yesterday. The quilts and bedding are all new ones made by my mother-in-law this year." Gu Qiuye put the things on the cabinet.
"Mom, you, Dad, and Beibei will sleep in this room at night, while Dongdong and the others will sleep on the big bunk bed with Binbin and Yangyang."
Because there were many people in the family but not enough rooms, the Gu family specially made a large bunk bed in the boy's room and the girl's room, which could accommodate all ten children.
Yu Hui nodded, looked at Gu Qiuye and asked, "Now that you're in high school, how are your studies going?"
"It's pretty good." Gu Qiuye said, "I ranked second in the grade in the final exam."
Yu Hui was surprised and said, "You did so well in the test, so I have to give you a reward."
Gu Qiuye quickly waved her hands and said no, she was studying for herself, how could she ask for rewards from her elders for doing well in the exams?
However, her mother-in-law secretly rewarded her with two dollars, allowing her to buy whatever she wanted to eat, and asked her not to tell her mother.
Because if her mother knew she was rich, she would not give her living expenses.
"Yes, yes." Yu Hui took out her wallet from her bag, took out a ten-yuan Great Unity note and put it into Gu Qiuye's hand.
“Use it to buy the study materials and things you like.”
"It's too much. I can't take it." Gu Qiuye pushed the money back.
Yu Hui said with a straight face, "If you don't want me to help you at the noodle shop during the summer vacation."
Gu Qiuye's eyes lit up, "Can I go to the noodle shop to help out during the summer vacation?"
"Of course, you don't know that your aunt and I are too busy every day, so you have to go and help us during the summer vacation."
"Okay, I'll definitely go."
"If you want to go, put the money in your pocket. This is our little secret, don't tell anyone." Yu Hui reminded.
She felt that if her parents knew about the reward she gave to Gu Qiuye, it would most likely be taken away. After all, ten yuan was not a small amount of money.
Gu Qiuye smiled and nodded, then put the ten yuan into his innermost pocket.
At the same time, Lin Siyu, exhausted, also returned to the Lin family, accompanied by Lu Tianyou.
"Oh, isn't this Lin Siyu? You're back for the New Year. Who's next to you?" The neighbor aunt looked at Lu Tianyou curiously.
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Siyu's boyfriend."
After hearing this, the neighbor aunt looked at Lin Siyu twice. She thought that being good-looking was an advantage, and she could still find such a talented partner after being divorced.
Lin Siyu covered her nose with her hands and walked upstairs with a frown. Lu Tianyou hurriedly followed with his things.
The neighbor aunt looked at Lin Siyu's back, clicked her tongue twice, and turned back home.
Lin Siyu stood at the door and knocked. "Who is it?" Wei Jingfen asked as she walked to the door and opened it.
When he opened the door and saw his elder sister-in-law standing outside, he sneered, "It's my elder sister. When she left, didn't she say she would never come back?"
When Lin Siyu went to school, she did say this because she was hurt by her mother.
"This is my home. I can come back whenever I want." After saying that, he pushed Wei Jingfen's door open and walked into the house.
"Hello." Lu Tianyou greeted Wei Jingfen and followed Lin Siyu into the house.
Wei Jingfen stared at Lu Tianyou in shock, and quickly realized that this was Lin Siyu's new boyfriend.
They brought someone home, it looks like they're getting married.
Qin Shulan, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out when she heard the noise. "Siyu is back. Why didn't you call and tell me in advance?"
Lin Siyu sat on the sofa, raised her hand to her forehead, and said impatiently: "What is there to say? You can still pick me up after I say it."
"My child, if you tell me, I can prepare your favorite dishes."
"Hello, Auntie." Lu Tianyou bowed to Qin Shulan.
"You must be Tianyou." Qin Shulan's eyes lit up and she excitedly stepped forward to hold Lu Tianyou's hand.
Lu Tianyou glanced down at her wet hands, then looked up and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm Lu Tianyou, Siyu's boyfriend. I came here to send Siyu back today. I didn't prepare any gifts, so please don't be offended, Auntie."
"No wonder, no wonder." Qin Shulan said with a smile, "Hurry up and sit down. Auntie will cook two more dishes. You can stay for dinner."
It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. Although it was the first time she met Lu Tianyou, she liked this boy as soon as she saw him.
He is well-mannered and scholarly, and at first glance he seems to be a gentle and easy-going person, unlike Gu Huai who has a tough temper.
Lin Siyu looked up at Lu Tianyou and said, "Let's eat first before we go. It's a good opportunity to meet my dad and tell him about our business."
"Thank you, Auntie." Lu Tianyou put the luggage bag on the ground and walked to sit next to Lin Siyu.
"Where are my dad and Lin Zhongbao?"
"Your dad is probably still playing chess outside. He'll definitely be back by dinner time. Zhongbao's been doing some private work these days, so he might be back late at night, or he might not."
Qin Shulan felt distressed when she mentioned her son taking private jobs. She had told him that the family didn't need that little money and that he didn't need to work so hard, but he didn't listen and insisted on going.
Wei Jingfen just wanted Zhongbao to earn more money. She didn't feel sorry for him at all and even encouraged him to take private jobs.
Taking private jobs?
Treasure in the forest?
Lin Siyu felt like her mother was telling a ghost story. Lin Zhongbao was afraid of hard work, so he chose the security guard position among other positions that were a little harder but paid higher wages.
Why would anyone take on private work just to earn more money these days, especially the kind that requires working until late at night?
"You guys sit down, I'll go cook."
Wei Jingfen's eyes moved back and forth between Lin Siyu and Lu Tianyou. Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she hurried to the bedroom to carry out her son Lin Chenglong.
"Longlong, look who's back! Auntie is back."
"And your aunt's boyfriend, your future uncle."
"Hurry up and call your aunt and uncle." Wei Jingfen carried Lin Chenglong to Lin Siyu and Lu Tianyou and asked him to call for help.
Since the aunt has brought her boyfriend home, she should at least give some money to her nephew.
Lu Tianyou frowned. This child is so fat and looks silly. Could he be a fool?
Lin Siyu also showed a look of disgust. After not seeing him for half a year, Lin Chenglong had become fatter and the snot in his mouth was flowing out.
