If this happened in ancient times, she would have been a noble lady, and almost everyone in her family would have been on the government payroll.
Xu's mother was so happy that she almost clapped her thigh. She didn't even want to eat and just wanted to go out and show off.
"Hurry up and eat, where are you going?" Father Xu shouted immediately when he saw Mother Xu was about to go out. It was almost dark, and she was going out without eating.
Mother Xu smiled, raised her head proudly and said, "I'm going to go chat with my sisters. You guys eat first."
If it weren't for the constant smile on Xu's mother's face, Xu Qiuye would have thought that Xu's mother didn't like him, so he made an excuse to go out.
Mother Xu also took this into consideration. She took Xu Qiuye's hand like her own daughter and asked her to sit at the table to eat. "You guys eat first. I'll be out for a while and will be back soon."
After saying this, Xu's mother ran out with a basket of eggs, knocking on doors as she went.
"Oh, elder sister, my second son passed the exam to become a teacher in the commune. Yes, that's right. He also has a girlfriend, Accountant Xu from our village, who works in the textile factory."
"That girl is working in the supply and marketing cooperative now. If the couple gets married, they will both eat commercial grain." Xu's mother narrowed her eyes and her smile was invisible.
Ignoring the jealous looks from the other side, Xu's mother continued to brag: "My daughter is also amazing. She went to cook for a big boss yesterday and earned ten yuan for a meal."
"You will be blessed in the future, sister-in-law. Several children in your family eat commercial grains, and your little girl cooks delicious food. Good days are ahead of you."
If it weren't for the fact that Xu's mother was the captain's wife, she wouldn't bother to say these compliments.
No one would go up to someone's door and show off.
There were more than twenty eggs in Xu's mother's basket, and she distributed them one by one for more than an hour. She was just bragging about it, which made those people envious and jealous.
You can just say that your family is living a good life, but you come to show off to us, which is really infuriating.
One by one, they sent Xu's mother away and started cursing her in the yard.
Mother Xu didn't care about all this. She went back with the empty basket, looking very sad. If she had known this, she wouldn't have given everyone eggs.
More than twenty eggs, how much does that cost?
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ying asked as she saw something was wrong with her.
Seeing that there were outsiders around, Xu's mother was too embarrassed to say anything, and she held it in until everyone left. Then she cried and shouted, "I gave away all my eggs, more than 20 of them.
I feel so sad, those people are not worthy of eating my eggs, I feel uncomfortable, my heart aches." Xu's mother cried.
"Okay, give them all away. Besides, this is a happy occasion, so what's wrong with giving a few eggs?"
"Yes, Mom, our old hen is very fertile and will give birth again in a few days." Mrs. Xu persuaded.
Mother Xu stopped crying immediately. Thinking of her own proud old hen, she suddenly felt happy.
Yes, her hens laid more than twenty eggs in just seven or eight days.
After thinking it through, Xu's mother no longer felt sad.
It was already late when Xu Qiuye and Gu Fuying returned, so Brother Xu borrowed a car from the old house to send Xu Qiuye back.
Xu Qiuye didn't dare to let Brother Xu come to her house. As soon as she got home with her bicycle, Accountant Xu asked sternly, "Why are you back so late? Look at what time it is now. It's already dark.
How can you, a girl, come back so late? Do you still want to have a good reputation?"
Qiu Ye's mother looked at her daughter and was also angry: "It's already past nine o'clock, where have you been?"
Xu Qiuye looked at her parents fearfully: "Fuying and I went to Xujia Village to look for Yingying."
"Fuying, are you talking about your female colleague from the supply and marketing cooperative?" Accountant Xu was more cunning than dice: "Why did she go to Xujia Village?"
But what can this girl do in Xujia Village?
"She and Xu Ying are good friends. We went to Uncle Xu's house together."
When Accountant Xu heard this, he remembered Xu Shengcai's exam and asked, "How did the second son of the Xu family do in the exam?"
"He has passed the exam to become a teacher and will report next week." Xu Qiuye smiled as he mentioned this.
Accountant Xu was in a bad mood. His face was full of shock and anger. He didn't expect that the man would take the things and not do the job.
"Dad, I heard Shengcai say that as long as he passes the exam to become a teacher, you will agree to let us date?" Xu Qiuye asked.
Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. Even though Accountant Xu was unhappy, he still nodded.
When Qiu Ye's mother heard this, there was no change on her face.
As long as the girl is willing and the boy's family conditions are acceptable, it's fine.
She doesn't have as high demands as men, nor does she have their unrealistic ambitions.
When Xu Qiuye saw her father nod, her face was full of surprise.
"Thank you, Dad."
Accountant Xu said, "You two can date, but if you want to get married, Xu Shengcai must go to the county to teach."
When Xu Qiuye heard this, she knew that her father was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she didn't dare to say anything at the moment.
Accountant Xu's heart was bleeding. He had raised his daughter with great difficulty and was hoping to find a promising son-in-law to support the family. But who knew that this damn girl only liked country men.
After being criticized by Xu Ying last time, he didn’t dare to say anything bad about the country people in public. If he was accused of something bad, he would be in trouble.
The same was true for the Gu family. When Gu's parents saw their daughter coming home so late, they were immediately filled with anger and worry: "Fuying, didn't you get off work at six? Why did you come back so late? Do you know how worried your father and I are about you? Why are you so disobedient?"
Gu's father and mother have only this precious daughter, and she is the apple of their eye at home.
Now seeing his daughter back, Father Gu breathed a sigh of relief and scolded her.
Mother Gu couldn't bear it any longer: "Okay, stop talking, my daughter is back!"
Father Gu snorted and said nothing more.
Gu Fuying then said, “Mom and Dad, I went to Yingying’s house today, the girl who saved me a few days ago.
It’s a pity that you didn’t go, otherwise you could have enjoyed the heavenly royal banquet.”
When Gu's father and mother heard this, they rolled their eyes at their daughter. Is the Heavenly Royal Banquet so delicious? Gu Fuying licked the corner of her mouth, still recalling the beer-drunk duck at dinner, which was absolutely amazing.
"Mom and Dad, my eldest brother is getting married, so let Yingying be the chef for the banquet. The dishes she cooks are super delicious." Gu Fuying said with shining eyes.
First, she really wanted to eat Yingying's cooking again, and second, she heard today that Yingying made money by cooking for others.
She wanted to give Yingying a chance to make money. Also, her eldest brother was getting married, and the guests were all well-known figures in the county. They might be attracted by Yingying's cooking skills and arrange a job for her then.
It would be great if it was in a state-owned restaurant, so she could eat Yingying’s cooking every day.
Gu's father and mother had no idea of what their daughter was thinking. Their eldest son was in his twenties and was finally getting married. They had managed to hold a banquet and they didn't want to make a fool of themselves.
