Giving the betrothal gift had to be done secretly, and this scene deeply touched Lu Xiuhua's heart.

She seemed to suddenly feel a little regretful... Was it the right choice to hand over the financial power to her son?

So why are they so partial... Why can't they treat all their children equally? They caused their second daughter to become estranged from them, and even their most beloved youngest daughter became increasingly distant from them...

Lu Xiuhua turned her back and wiped her tears. When she turned around, she had a smile on her face, but her eyes were red.

Finally, she accepted it, five big reunion tickets, which is 50 yuan.

Lu Xiuhua found a safe place to keep the gift money and left the room to prepare for dinner.

While eating, the family chatted about the topic of the wedding banquet. Qiao Minjuan was young and couldn't sit still, so after dinner she pulled Qiao An to the yard to play with the puppy. Qiao Lu sat in the main room and ate, keeping an eye on the two children in the yard.

"Let's go back and check the calendar and pick a good day for the wedding. Isn't there a telephone at the village chief's house? I'll call you and let you know when the time comes. You can come back later."

Qiao Yan did not return to the countryside for her wedding, but held her wedding banquet in a state-owned hotel in the city. She only invited her brothers, sisters and parents from her natal family, with a total of five tables.

After returning, Niu Qiaoli boasted to her friends in the village about how grand the hotel was, and how there were so many meats and vegetables on the table that she couldn't count them on one hand. She also brought back a lot of snacks, all sent by Yuan Jianghe. During that time, the Qiao family was very popular in the village.

Niu Qiaoli still remembers how happy she felt when she was complimented by others. It would be even better if her younger sister could also hold her wedding in the city!

Before Niu Qiaoli had time to be happy, Qiao Guobin started to worry.

"That must cost a lot of money. Everyday life requires money, so be frugal." It has to be said that although Qiao Guobin's taste in choosing women is not very good, he is still a very "simple" person.

Niu Qiaoli was unhappy: "You can get money for holding a wedding banquet. The more people there are, the more money you get. Why didn't you say that?"

Qiao Guobin glanced at his wife speechlessly and stopped talking.

Xu Haizhou glanced at Qiao Lu, his eyes soft: "This is the only time in a lifetime, how can I be vague about it."

Qiao Lu loved to hear this. There is no woman who doesn't want to be valued by her man.

"Yes, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It doesn't matter if you spend it. You will make it back sooner or later." She is confident that the couple will be able to make a lot of money after joining forces.

After discussing the wedding, the family began to question Xu Haizhou about his situation. In fact, they had already asked everything they needed to ask at lunch, but Niu Qiaoli still felt it was not detailed enough and tried hard to find out about his financial conditions.

After asking around, I learned that he not only did business in the city, but also had connections that rural people could not even dream of. It was said that he knew the director of a certain factory, the top leader of a certain enterprise, the section chief of a certain agency, and even the principal of a school was his customer.

She was so scared that she couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily.

"This...you are so powerful? Why do you know only important people?" Forgive Niu Qiaoli for being unworldly. The highest official she had ever seen in her life was the secretary of the commune. She had only heard of the names of the town leaders. They were rare!

"It's okay, I'm not that great. There are many capable people in the city, and I can't even be ranked among them." Xu Haizhou smiled indifferently, pretending to be nonchalant: "Sister-in-law, if you need me for anything in the future, such as relatives and friends looking for jobs or children going to school, you can come to me. I will do my best to help."

"What?" Niu Qiaoli was so excited that she stopped eating. "Oh my, really? Hey Haizhou! You really are! Hey!"

When he smiled, his face was full of wrinkles: "Speaking of this! Are the steamed buns enough to eat? If not, I still have some rice in my room, which was originally saved for our parents to nourish their bodies. If you don't have enough to eat, I will cook some for you now. It's still early, and there's still time!"

My God, this passionate Jin'er, besides Qiao Guobin, who else has she been so "nice" to?

Qiao Lu couldn't bear to look at it.

Xu Haizhou curled his lips and shook his head, saying, "No, don't bother sister-in-law, I'm full."

He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Before I came here, I didn't expect Xiaolu's family to be so warm and welcoming. Big brother is so lucky to marry such a virtuous wife."

Qiao Guobin was stunned, thinking that this future brother-in-law was very capable and good at speaking, which made him feel very happy.

This made Niu Qiaoli feel embarrassed. She sat down, smoothed her hair, and smiled: "Look at what you said. We are a family from now on. How can my sister-in-law not be nice to you!"

"Yes, my family is fine." This question seemed to be asked casually, but it had a profound meaning: "It's just that I feel there is something strange that I don't understand."

"What don't you understand?" Niu Qiaoli asked hurriedly.

"I heard that my second sister sends five dollars back every month, why do we still eat these at home? Is it not enough?"

After saying that, he looked at Qiao Lu. The couple had a tacit understanding and could understand each other's meaning with just one look.

Qiao Lu quickly interrupted and said, "No, how could it not be enough? You are from the city, and you don't know the expenses of us in the countryside throughout the year. Let alone five yuan, two or three yuan can also allow the family to eat fine grains every day!"

Qiao Lu finally understood Xu Haizhou's "plan". Since there was no way to change the personalities of the two soft-hearted ones, she might as well suppress the most active one in the family.

"Oh? I've never lived in the countryside, is that what it's like?" Xu Haizhou pointed at the coarse flour steamed bun in Lu Xiuhua's bowl, "I saw my aunt eating leftovers, and I thought her family's conditions were so bad."

Lu Xiuhua touched the bowl awkwardly.

Niu Qiaoli smiled awkwardly and hurriedly stuffed a big white steamed bun into Lu Xiuhua's hand.

"No, no, it's just a coincidence. My mother's family had an emergency last week. My second sister gave birth to a baby and the baby was malnourished. She lent me a lot of money. Otherwise, I would have prepared a big meal for you two today. Besides, you two didn't tell me before you came back, so I didn't have time to buy good food and wine. It's really an unfortunate coincidence. My mother is a thrifty person. You tell me... Sister-in-law didn't mean it. Haizhou, don't be angry with me."

Xu Haizhou curled his lips lightly: "If Xiaolu and I don't come back today, won't you eat worse?"

"Ah?" Niu Qiaoli was a little confused. Xu Haizhou looked serious, as if he was going to call her to task.

His eyes looked gentle, but they also had a coldness that could see through people's hearts, making people feel frightened for no reason...

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere gradually became tense. Qiao Guobin couldn't bear it and glared at Niu Qiaoli.

"I told you a long time ago not to give money to your family. If you give money to them, how can we make ends meet?"

It was a rare moment for Qiao Guobin to be tough in front of his wife. If he had dared to speak to her in this tone at other times, Niu Qiaoli would have definitely been furious. But now, in front of Xu Haizhou, she acted like a little wife, with her head slightly drooping as if she was ashamed.

"Oh, really, I should have listened to you earlier, this is my fault, I am too soft-hearted!"

After saying this, he looked at Xu Haizhou, with a hint of flattery in his eyes.

"Haizhou, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. From now on, I will not support my parents. As the saying goes, take care of your parents first..."

"Take care of your own family first, then take care of everyone else!" Qiao Lu reminded her.

Niu Qiaoli smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I will take care of my own family first and then take care of everyone else. I really need to change my soft-hearted character!"

"Yeah." Xu Haizhou's tense expression finally relaxed: "Xiao Lu always told me that the only thing she is worried about is her parents at home..."

Before he finished speaking, Niu Qiaoli interrupted: "Haizhou, Xiaolu, you two can rest assured and do your business in the city. I'll take care of you at home! My sister's parents are our parents, right? We will definitely take good care of them! Don't worry, just rest assured."

Xiaolu has even been called, why haven’t you been so intimate with me before when I was searching for money…

Qiao Lu gave her a cold look in her heart.

Xu Haizhou pretended to be relieved and smiled: "I feel relieved with your words, sister-in-law."

Okay, Xu Haizhou, give her a date and then slap her in the face. When her face hurts, give her another date... Can someone like Niu Qiaoli withstand this?

"I heard that my sister-in-law has to work in the fields every day. She is so tired, but she still has to travel a long way to the town to buy daily necessities for the family. In my opinion, we should let our mother buy them. Didn't our mother retire a long time ago and stay at home?"

"Uh, this..."

Niu Qiaoli looked at Qiao Guobin with embarrassment. Asking her for money would be like cutting off her flesh!

[You protect the island, I protect you]

Meng Yan was a beautiful lady who was born in a large compound. She had eyes like autumn water, eyebrows like crescent moon, and a face as beautiful as a peach. Her every frown and smile touched people's hearts.

However, for a daughter from a poor family, having beauty alone is a disaster.

When she was eighteen, Meng Yan was pursued madly by a perverted man, and Yang Yan destroyed her if he couldn't get her.

In order to escape from the madman, Meng Yan took the initiative to sign up for the rural activities, but the mad man also followed!

In the end, Meng Yan's father had no choice but to ask his old leader to help find a capable man to marry his daughter, which would be better than being entangled by a mad dog.

It just so happened that the son of the old leader's good friend was of marriageable age and was now stationed in the island troops as a young and promising officer.

He is an upright person with good looks, but the conditions on the island are harsh, I wonder if the girl can bear it...

"I can! I am willing!" What does it matter if the conditions are harsh, as long as I can stay away from the mad dog!

…

Jiang Shaoyu has been guarding the island for seven years, but his mother has no idea what it feels like.

Apart from the island, I am not interested in anything else.

After guarding the island for seven years, he has done his best for the country and the organization, but he has failed his parents.

His parents were very worried about him and introduced several lesbians to him, but he rejected them all.

Finally, I received a letter with a photo of a girl inside.

"I've found someone for you. She's a pretty, quiet girl who's very well behaved."

She is very well behaved and pretty. Jiang Shaoyu's heart, which had been suppressed for twenty-five years, was finally beating fast.

However, thinking of the hard life on the island, he resolutely refused.

As a result, just as he finished writing the letter of rejection, the young wife his family had found for him had already come ashore led by his subordinates, who jokingly called her "sister-in-law".

His mother was right, the girl was indeed very beautiful - her skin was as smooth as cream, her hands were as soft as silk, and when she looked at you, her sparkling eyes seemed to be able to speak.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Shaoyu."

The man was dressed in a neat military uniform, with cold features and a stern look, and the look he gave her was one of rejection.

"Comrade Meng Yan, there is still time to regret. If you cannot stand the environment on the island, I will send my men to take you home."

Meng Yan looked at the blue sea and the desolate land behind him, clenched his fist, and said firmly:

"No regrets. Comrade Jiang Shaoyu, I will follow you."

…

Meng Yan traveled into a book and became the unlucky female protagonist in a novel of a certain era.

Later in the story, Meng Yan will marry the paranoid male protagonist, and be "spoiled to death" by him, but also very depressed.

The paranoid man didn't give her any chance for freedom. He liked her, but treated her like a porcelain doll without any feelings. She could only live according to his plans, otherwise he would punch her without hesitation.

This is not the life Meng Yan wants.

After entering the book, Meng Yan decisively changed the plot of the novel and chose an island officer as her future partner. She decided to devote the rest of her life on the island.

To be honest, the officer has a good personality and good looks, which is not a pity.

But after getting ashore, she found that the island was not as poor and desolate as she had imagined!

Coconuts, mangoes, guavas, and the occasional wild animals... Pick up a bucket and go fishing with your friends, clams, crabs, small octopuses...

The land is barren, there is a lack of fresh water, and there is no vegetables to eat?

Let's reclaim wasteland and build a beautiful island together!
