Chapter 45 Returning to My Mother's Home



"My daughter, let's go." Xu Ying's mother's voice rang out. Xu Ying remembered her mother's instructions, picked up the pheasants, ducks and rabbits in the corner, put them in the backpack and went out.

Xu's mother was afraid that her daughter had forgotten, so she asked, "Have you taken everything?"

"I've got it." Xu Ying took the bicycle and rode away. Nowadays, bicycles have a handlebar in the front, so if she rides alone without someone else, she can just kick it over with her back foot.

But now Xu's mother wanted to ride in the car, so she could only ride slowly first, and Xu's mother jumped on from behind.

"Oh, my dear, ride slower. Mom can't catch up with you." Mother Xu panted.

Xu Ying felt that she was riding very slowly, and thinking of her mother's age, she tried to slow down even more.

Mother Xu jumped several times before finally jumping into the car. After getting in the car, she sighed: "Oh, I'm old now. It's so troublesome to take a car."

Xu Ying also thought this car was troublesome: "Mom, I have to help with Brother Fuying's wedding banquet next month, and I will have another income then.

When you save up some money, I will buy you a women's bicycle and take you for a ride every day."

Drink, my daughter likes it.

Xu's mother couldn't imagine buying a bicycle for her family. It wasn't that she didn't have money. She had money, but she had two sons, and if he got married, all of that would be gone.

As expected, all sons are debt collectors. When the second son starts working, he will have to hand over all the money like the third son, so that he can use it to marry a wife in the future.

Xu's mother's house is not far away, and it only takes more than half an hour to get there by bike.

"Mom, it's me. Your eldest daughter is here." Mother Xu's voice was loud.

Grandma Zhang heard the voice and walked out with small steps. She squinted her eyes and saw that it was Xu's mother. A smile spread across her honest face: "Guiying, why are you back?

Yingying, go sit in the house quickly."

"Mom, what you said means I can't come back yet." Xu's mother said unhappily.

When Grandma Zhang heard this, she said quickly, "Why can't you come back to your own home? You can come back whenever you want."

Mother Xu entered the yard and took out all the things in the basket: "Mom, your daughter brought these for you, don't be reluctant to eat them, do you hear me?"

Grandma Zhang was stunned and shocked to see so many wild animals: "Where did so many come from?"

"Hey, I went to the mountains and caught so many by accident." Xu's mother was afraid that her old mother would not want to eat them, so she planned to make some for lunch.

"When will my younger brother get married?" asked Xu's mother.

When talking about marriage, Grandma Zhang's face was full of worry.

"The marriage is probably going to be ruined."

"What's going on?" Xu's mother looked curious.

Xu Ying, who was eating melon seeds nearby, was not surprised at all.

It would be best if it was ruined. This time she came to completely ruin this marriage.

My uncle is a late-born son and is more favored at home. The family thinks that my uncle's three sisters can help him, so when he is getting married, they ask for money very hard.

The wedding gift for country people is only a few dozen yuan.

The family was asking for a lot of money, hundreds of dollars? Both Grandma and Grandpa Zhang had been dealing with the land all their lives, and the youngest son was not a worker, so where could he get hundreds of dollars?

Isn't this deliberately embarrassing? Grandma Zhang was furious when she talked about this: "The Zhou family is not a rich family. They are a poor family like us. Why can't they understand?"

Xu's mother was amazed: "How dare you ask for that? Just a few hundred yuan. My eldest son's wife is from the city, so a few dozen yuan will be enough.

He is the daughter of the Zhou family. He is selling his daughter. Besides, I have seen his daughter. She is honest and can't do anything even if you beat her with three sticks. She is not as pretty as our Baogui.

How dare you ask for such a high price? What does that girl mean?"

Xu Ying quickly grabbed a handful for her.

"That girl also listens to her parents. I guess this marriage won't work." Grandma Zhang looked disappointed.

Her son is 20 years old this year, and will be 21 after the autumn harvest. People next door are getting married at the age of 17 or 18, but her son is still single in his twenties. She is very worried.

"Oh, I think we should just call off the marriage. That girl listens to her parents so much, she won't be good to us when she gets married. Her parents will instigate us.

She might cause trouble again and ask us to give money to her parents. "Originally, Xu's mother thought that this girl was just right for the family.

Her parents are too honest, and they were afraid that she would be bullied if they married someone who was too cunning. Now it seems that this honest man is not that good either.

Grandma Zhang knew this, but she was concerned that her son had never gotten married.

It would be better if the woman could give less betrothal money.

Xu Ying knew that her grandmother was not giving up, so she suggested, "Mom, I remember whether the wife of our village deputy captain is related to the Zhou family. Let them go and talk to them when the time comes."

The deputy captain has always wanted to replace her father, but this guy hid it well and no one noticed. However, Xu Ying knew what the deputy captain was thinking in her previous life.

If he were to go and talk about it, he might exaggerate the matter and ruin the marriage.

Xu's mother curled her lips, looking reluctant. If it failed, it failed. She didn't care.

But when Grandma Zhang heard this, her eyes lit up: "Really, Guiying, go back and talk to your deputy captain's family."

"Mom, I don't think the Zhou family's daughter is any good. If it doesn't work out, let's find another one."

"It's not that easy to change. Your little brother is already in his twenties. If he doesn't get married soon, he won't be able to find a wife.

When you go back today, please help and ask them to negotiate with the Zhou family to reduce the betrothal gift. If it is only 100 yuan, I will sell everything I have and borrow money from everywhere to get it together." Grandma Zhang gritted her teeth and said cruelly.

Xu's mother was immediately displeased, but she also felt that her younger brother was not young anymore, so after thinking about it she decided to give up.

It was almost noon and Xu Ying volunteered to go to the kitchen to cook.

Xu's mother let her go: "Mom, you'll be in for a treat later, Yingying cooks delicious food!"

Grandma Zhang looked at her daughter in surprise: "Can Yingying cook?"

She knew very well how her granddaughter was spoiled by her own daughter. She had never done housework or cooking since she was a child. She had never been seen entering the kitchen. How could this be possible?

"Of course she doesn't know! My daughter has the same smartness as me and is self-taught." Mother Xu never stops praising her daughter and has won the hearts of the whole family since her first dish.

Afterwards, he boasted that his daughter cooked for a senior leader and was now noticed by her friends and family. She would cook for their wedding banquet and get paid.

Not only did she brag, she also exaggerated and praised her daughter's food to be better than that of a great chef.

Grandma Zhang felt as if she was listening to a foreign language. She was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. However, she didn't believe it too much because she knew her daughter's personality too well.

Even the dead can be said to be alive, let alone her granddaughter. She was secretly hoping that the chicken would not be wasted for lunch.

The Zhang family is small, and the three daughters are all married. Now there are only the old couple of the Zhang family and Uncle Zhang left in the family.

Now, including the mother and daughter, there are only five of us.

She cooked three dishes.
