The next morning, Song Jin was awakened by the warm sunshine. She opened her hazy eyes and found herself alone in the room. She looked at her watch and it was half past nine.
Thinking that today is the second day of my wedding, I forced myself to sit up.
My body felt a little sore, but it was still within an acceptable range. After feeling it for a while, I felt quite satisfied. Fortunately, he still knew to clean himself.
Looking around, she felt something was strange. She remembered that the two of them were in the space last night, but she had no recollection of how or when they came out.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was outside.
After getting dressed and going out, Song Jin saw bed sheets floating on the clothesline in the yard, and his face felt a little hot.
The washbasin rack next to the main room contained squeezed toothpaste and poured water for washing face.
There was a noise in the kitchen. She looked over and saw Chen Liang coming out with a bowl of porridge in his hand. Seeing her standing at the bedroom door, he immediately took a few quick steps forward.
"Wife, are you up? Are you feeling unwell?"
The two of them had already had the most intimate relationship, and Song Jin suddenly felt a little shy.
Seeing the blush on her face, Chen Liang understood that Ajin was a little shy, which was really rare.
He held the bowl in one hand and took Song Jin's hand with the other and led her to the table in the main room.
"You woke up just in time. Have you washed up? It's time for breakfast."
"Well, I've washed up. Should we go to the old house today?"
Chen Liang touched her head and said, "I went over there this morning and I've already made arrangements with my parents. You don't have to worry about this. Have some porridge first, and I'll serve the side dishes."
The two of them had breakfast together before starting to discuss returning to Beijing.
"I went over to talk to my parents this morning and told them to pack up today. I'll buy the tickets this afternoon, and we'll go back to Beijing tomorrow. But there's something I want to discuss with you. My second brother and his wife said they wanted to go to Beijing with us, too, so I wanted to discuss it with you."
"It's okay. I was thinking of having them all go, including Chen Chen. It's summer vacation now, so we can go together and play with them for a few days after the banquet."
Chen Liang went forward and hugged her: "Thank you, my wife, it's great to marry you."
Just as Song Jin was about to hug her back, he was interrupted by a sound from outside the door.
"Old Three, we are late."
The two people in the room looked at each other. Even though Song Jin had only met this person once or twice, she could still recognize the person from the shrewd voice.
Chen’s eldest sister-in-law, Liu Meili.
I didn’t see these two people come back during the wedding banquet yesterday, but they did come back after it was over.
Chen Liang was also unhappy, but he couldn't ignore them since they came to his house, so he went out and opened the door.
Looking at the two people with their families outside the door, Chen Tao could still see embarrassment on his face, while Liu Meili had a flattering look on her face and her eyes were full of calculation.
"San'er, my brother and sister-in-law are late. Please don't blame us. It's because your nephew was sick at home yesterday and couldn't get away. Otherwise, as family, we couldn't miss him.
Look, we came here early this morning. Where's Song Jin? She hasn't gotten up yet? Oh, San'er, this won't do. You can't sleep in right after your new bride arrives. Hurry up and wake her up. Your eldest brother and I will go to your parents' house and wait. Come over here when you're done."
After saying that, the two of them turned around and wanted to leave. Chen Liang's feet were itchy, so he twisted them hard on the ground and called out to them to stop.
"Brother, since you missed the banquet, why did you come here today? I already went to my parents' place this morning, so I won't be going over later. If you miss them, go and see them. There's no need to wait for us."
Chen Tao's face was full of embarrassment. He hadn't been home for a long time. He had intended to come to the third brother's wedding, but this evil woman had quarreled with him for a whole day and didn't want to pay a share of the money.
It's so stupid, he doesn't even have a long-term vision.
It's also his fault. He didn't think of finding out how the third brother was doing. His parents were the same, hiding the truth from him.
I told him two years ago that the third son injured his leg and moved to another place. After transferring the job to the second son, he was not doing well and still needed them to subsidize him.
He actually believed it, fearing that the third son would borrow money from him. After all, he was the best off in the family, and half of the second son's salary had to be remitted to the third son every month, and the other half had to be handed over to the family. Unlike his salary, that was all used for their own family expenses.
A few days ago, my father asked someone to bring a letter saying that the third son had returned and wanted to hold a wedding banquet at home. He discussed it with his wife, but his wife said that he must have come back to hold the banquet in order to get the family to pay for it, and then they would have to pay the most, so they couldn't go back.
He was reluctant to come back, but he was suspicious and uneasy, so last night he went to the home of a villager who also worked in the town. He didn't know until he asked, and he was shocked when he asked.
The whole family was on guard against him. The third child actually got into university and has been in Beijing for the past few years. He works in a large factory there and has a high salary.
His wife, Song Jin, also works at China National Radio. I heard she's at a supervisory level. They are both students at Peking University.
There were also the fruit trees the two men brought to the brigade after they returned, and the extravagant spending at the banquet. The more detailed the other party's descriptions were, the more painful it was for the couple.
He just came back early in the morning, and now the third brother's attitude clearly shows that he no longer takes him, the eldest brother, seriously.
He himself is really ashamed.
"Hey, Third Brother, what are you talking about? We came here early in the morning to see you, and you didn't even let us in, and you didn't even let us go home."
Before Chen Liang could speak, Song Jin's voice rang out.
"Chen Liang, who are these two? What are you doing blocking the door so early in the morning?"
Chen Liang wanted to laugh but held it back. His wife had met these two people before, and from the tone they spoke now, it was enough to make her angry to death, so he had to cooperate.
"Wife, you haven't seen these two people before, so you don't know them. They are my elder brother and elder sister-in-law."
"Huh? You have an older brother? Then why didn't you come to our wedding? Are you sure you're related?"
"They are busy. They are working in town. They are very busy workers."
"Oh, the workers in our town are so busy. I thought the workers in the town had an easier time than us in Beijing."
Song Jin kept emphasizing "town", and Liu Meili gritted her teeth when she heard it.
But she didn't give Liu Meili a chance to perform: "Okay, let's go, let's go to Mom and Dad's house again and tell them, my second brother and his wife, and the fourth brother, they all told us to bring less stuff. We have everything at home, so if we don't have it, we can just buy ready-made ones. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to carry too many things on the road."
As he was talking, he walked out, and Chen Liang followed him. Chen Lao Da and his wife followed him out passively.
Liu Meili wanted to retort to Song Jin, but what did she hear? Was this woman trying to take everyone from the old house to Beijing?
This won’t do. How can she be left out? She has never been to Beijing.
He quickly grabbed Chen Tao's arm and followed him towards the old house.
