However, Hu Guangcai didn't want to let Feng Yun go just like that. He was too excited.
"Mom, her name is Xu Lu. Her mom is the director of the Qinan Subdistrict Office, and her dad is the commune secretary of our Chengguan Commune. Her two older brothers also work in government agencies." (The county seat is collectively known as the Chengguan Commune, and the commune secretary is appointed by the county party secretary.)
Of course Feng Yun knew all this. Although the two families were relatives in their previous life, the Xu family looked down on their family. They only had contact when they got married, had children, and when the child was one month old. Normally, the two families basically had no contact with each other.
"What does that have to do with you? Do you really want her to fall in love with you and turn you into a phoenix?"
"mom."
Hu Guangcai automatically ignored Feng Yun's subsequent words and looked at her in surprise.
"How did Mom know she fell in love with me? You don't even know. I was so sad when I ran out just now, but she suddenly came towards me, her white skirt swaying in the wind, and the faint fragrance on her body wafted into my nostrils. I..."
"stop!"
Feng Yun's face was full of black lines.
"Let me make it clear to you, Hu Guangcai, family background is a huge gap. Don't think that just liking each other is enough. Life is life, and love can't be eaten."
Now that the topic has come up, Feng Yun decided to speak frankly.
"Guangcai, you have indeed been more motivated recently and are not as lazy as before, but don't forget that you don't have a formal job yet."
"Mom," Hu Guangcai said unhappily. "What's wrong with me not having a job? I earn as much as other people who work. Working for that little money is nothing to be admired."
"Then don't be unconvinced. People with jobs are looked up to, no matter how much they earn.
Since you know the conditions of the Xu family, you can imagine that since they raised a daughter, they naturally would not let her life become more and more miserable, and they must also want to find a son-in-law who is of equal status.
You are good-looking, but besides your good looks, what other advantages do you have that would satisfy your parents? "
Hu Guangcai was about to speak when Feng Yun interrupted him, "Let me finish."
After taking a breath, she continued, “Of course, when parents look at their son-in-law, they look at whether he has a future and whether he can provide their daughter with a good life.
If you get married, they will definitely suggest that you live with them. They will find a job for you and let you work hard and slowly climb up the ladder.
With your temper, can you really work honestly?
As for the issue of education and knowledge, they are all well-educated, but when they talk about romance, do you understand romance? You only talk about what you did to provoke trouble today.
When others talk about national affairs, you only talk about what you ate and drank.
Others talk about the smell of this perfume and that, but you only smell like sweat. This is the generation gap.
In the short term, she may tolerate these things because she likes you, but in the long term, love will be worn away by repeated complaints. By then, she will only despise you for being useless, unable to let her live a good life, and making her lose face.
Hu Guangcai just couldn't listen at all.
"Mom, this is so far in the future, why are you thinking so far ahead?
Besides, am I as bad as you say? I feel pretty good now, and I have something to talk about with her."
Feng Yun rolled his eyes.
"Alright, alright, I've said everything I need to say. I can't control what you want to do. After we get married, we'll live separately. I'll pay my share of the wedding expenses, and taking care of the children has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, he went into his room in a bad mood.
Qi Qiu Ming pointed his finger at Hu Guangcai's forehead.
"Look at you, why don't you find someone else but Xu Lu? Can you really control the daughter of a wealthy family? When you don't have her, you have to flatter her like a slave to have a place in your life."
Hu Guangcai really couldn't understand why his family members had such an attitude just when Xu Lu was mentioned.
Why is he not worthy of the girl from a wealthy family?
He's just a little lazy, a little bad-mouthed, and a little unpopular...
Hey, that's not right. She was close to his mother when she spoke just now, and her mother was not outside. Her ears are not working well, so how did she know Xu Lu's name?
"Grandma, how do you know Xu Lu?"
Hu Guangcai stared at Qi Qiumin suspiciously.
Qi Qiu Ming choked.
In her previous life, she had only seen her granddaughter-in-law Xu Lu a few times. Until she passed away, Hu Guangcai rarely came back, just like a son-in-law.
All the food, drinks and daily necessities were kept there, and she never enjoyed a penny of the money she earned. When Xu Lu came back, she acted like a young lady, waiting to be served by the family.
At first, everyone thought that since the sixth brother had hooked up with the daughter of a wealthy family, the entire Hu family would benefit. However, it turned out that the Xu family hated to even know the Hu family, let alone help them. The two families almost stopped interacting with each other.
She doesn't like Xu Lu.
Of course, I’m not sure whether Feng Yun had mentioned Xu Lu before, so I can only give a perfunctory answer.
"What on earth is in your big head? You mentioned it just now, but now you have forgotten it?"
Having said that, he slipped back to his room in a bad mood.
Hu Guangcai scratched his head. He did mention Xu Lu's name, but didn't he say it close to his mother? How did his grandmother hear it?
Or did mom mention it when she spoke just now?
Oh, forget it, there's no need to worry about it. It's just strange, why mom and grandma seem to know Xu Lu very well, but they don't think Xu Lu and him are good.
He couldn't figure out the problem and was too lazy to think about it anymore.
He was originally happy because a girl like Xu Lu liked him, which gave him a strong awareness of his own charm.
Even though two buckets of cold water were poured on him, this did not affect the fact that he was popular.
So he went to find Hu Guangcong happily to feel his presence.
Feng Yun went to the vegetable market with Qi Qiumin.
The vegetable markets at that time were different from those in later generations. The vegetable markets here all had unified supplies and only had a few simple areas.
Vegetable area, seafood and meat area, non-staple food area, and no live poultry area.
The two went straight to the seafood and meat section, but unfortunately, there was nothing left there.
This is not a coastal city, so there are not many seafood products. Now it is afternoon, and these popular items have already been sold out.
Seeing the master sitting there chatting, Qi Qiuming walked over and asked with a smile, "Comrade, I wonder when grass carp will appear here."
"Come tomorrow morning." The fish butcher was a man. He answered without even looking up. "Meat is in such short supply right now. It's impossible for you to buy it anywhere else at this time."
Qi Qiu Ming and Feng Yun looked at each other, and went to the vegetable area again. After choosing and choosing, they found that the vegetables were not fresh, so they only picked a few potatoes and a few pumpkins.
"When the time comes, make some mashed potatoes and some spicy and sour potato shreds. Bring the pumpkin home to make pumpkin pie, which you can also sell for breakfast."
