Chapter 136 Comparison
Besides, after Li Xun returned to the village, he did not go back to the educated youth point, but went to Su's house.
He had to see Gu Ci off this time because he felt that even if he couldn't be friends with him in the future, he didn't want to be his enemy.
Another reason is that Su Hongqi asked him to go and see how the Song family’s banquet was going.
Li Xun knew what the Su family was thinking. They definitely didn't want to be suppressed by the Song family.
But he felt that it was shameful enough that the Su family could come up with such a thing as marrying off their daughter and daughter-in-law on the same day. Why would they have to try to outdo the Song family at the banquet?
Now that he had personally experienced the liveliness and festivity of the Song family's wedding banquet, he understood even more clearly that the Su family could not compare with the Song family.
But he couldn't offend the Su family, so he had to report honestly: "The Song family hosted ten tables this time."
Secretary Su was envious: "That's a lot of people."
Aunt Su was much more straightforward: "Yeah, then you probably received a lot of gifts?"
Li Xun thought to himself: Aren’t you guys also planning on collecting two points of the gift?
But what he said was: "There's not enough seats here. Many tables are grouped together with ten people."
I just want to see their envious and jealous eyes.
"Each table has a bottle of bulk liquor and ten dishes."
"Secretary Song distributed cigarettes, two to each person."
After Secretary Su asked what dishes were included, he said, "Don't worry, we will invite that chef to come and prepare the feast later."
But he didn't know that even if they hired the same chef, the Su family would be reluctant to use oil, so the dishes would taste different.
What's more, cleaning pig offal requires patience and carefulness so that it can be cleaned well and cooked deliciously.
Otherwise, chefs are not gods, and there would be no saying that a good cook cannot cook without rice.
But at this moment, they didn't know.
Secretary Su said to Li Xun, "You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Go and clean up the house with Jinxiang."
The six rooms of the brigade headquarters are usually empty except when they are used for summer and autumn harvests.
Aunt Su also said: "You can stay here for a few days. If you don't get used to it, you can move back home."
The Su family has five large houses, and Su Jinxiang has her own room. She can just live in her original room when she moves back.
Aunt Su loves her daughter, but she loves her son more.
Letting the son-in-law live at home was also an opportunity to take advantage of.
They all thought that since Li Xun's family took the bride price so generously, they must have some financial resources, and they would be able to benefit from the subsidies from the Li family in the future.
Even if there was no financial support from the Li family, Li Xun was still young, and the young couple had no burden, so they would not have to support him for nothing.
The work points they earn should be enough to support themselves.
Li Xun definitely doesn't want to live in his father-in-law's house.
There are more gossips when there are too many people around. If there is a conflict, I will be embarrassed to ask my father-in-law for help in the future.
He had already figured it out in his mind that it would be best to arrange a job as a scorekeeper after a while.
Of course, after the news spread that he was going to be Secretary Su's son-in-law, it became much easier for him to go to work, and he would no longer be assigned by the scorer to do heavy work. It would be great if I could have the opportunity to get a recommendation to go to university in the future.
After all, the deeds of Chu Hong's ex-husband were the gossip that the educated youth liked to talk about the most in private.
Many people hope that they can have the same luck as Zhong Zhiqing.
Not only will he be recommended to go to university, but I heard that his remarried Yue's family is now powerful.
Su Hongqi couldn't help asking, "Have you seen Xiao Yuer?"
Before the divorce, he only wanted a son and didn't love his daughter very much.
But now his daughter has been taken away by Chu Tong, and no one calls him Dad anymore. Sometimes when he sees Dabao, he will think of Xiaoyuer.
Even though the whole family lives together, he always feels particularly lonely before going to bed and after waking up, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Sometimes he would inadvertently call out Chu Tong and Xiao Yuer's names, but no one would respond, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, if you ask him, he would rather live with Chu Tong, who might not give birth to another child, or marry Chen Mei and have a big fat son.
He would definitely choose the latter.
The saying that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants, has been engraved in the bones of many people.
Li Xun really paid special attention to Chu Tong.
He originally thought that in the countryside, divorce was viewed as a foreign spectacle, with people just gossiping.
But I didn't expect that Chu Tong is living a very good life now. She has a smile on her face and looks radiant, without any sign of sadness at all.
He also remembered that when Xiao Yuer was at the Su family, she was very quiet and looked like a very introverted little girl.
But today when I saw Xiao Yuer, he was having a lot of fun playing with other kids.
"She's fine. She even shares the delicious food in her bowl with other children."
Secretary Su glanced at his eldest son and advised him: "Maybe by this time next year, you'll be able to hold a big fat boy in your arms."
He stood up again: "It's getting late, let's go to bed?"
The next morning, Gu Ci was woken up by the heat.
He felt someone hugging him and subconsciously wanted to push the person away.
The main reason was that when I was living in the educated youth camp, there were three beds placed side by side. The weather was too cold, so Zhang Jianming would sometimes move closer to me.
Of course, there were times when he unconsciously invaded Zhang Jianming's territory.
Who made Zhang Jianmin sleep in the middle?
But before he could do anything, he saw Chu Hong's long, slightly curled eyelashes, her rosy face, and her rosy lips.
He swallowed subconsciously and finally remembered that he was already married.
When he thought about the fact that she was hugging him, he felt dizzy as if he was drunk.
He is not Liu Xiahui, and this is really a test of his self-control, especially so early in the morning.
But he couldn't bear to push her away, so he could only calm himself down and stop letting his imagination run wild.
But sometimes, thoughts and reason are in conflict.
He was afraid that he could not control his unwilling hands, so he could only clench them into fists.
He didn't even realize that his breathing had become heavier.
After a while, Chu Hong also woke up.
She noticed that her posture was not right, and when she felt his tenseness and heard his breathing, she knew the reason.
I quietly opened my eyes and found that his ears were red and his face was a little red.
Chu Hong was considerate enough to turn over and pretend that she was still asleep so that he could get up first.
At this moment, she felt that Gu Ci was still young and honest, and he could easily push her away and get up first, or take the opportunity to hug her and take advantage of her.
But he clenched his fists.
If someone didn’t know, they would think he was going to fight.
Sure enough, Gu Ci thought she had turned over in her sleep and got up in the dim light.
In fact, it was already late at this time, but the room they lived in had small wooden windows, so the light was rather dim.
The Song family members didn't know that the young couple was just sleeping under the quilt, and they tacitly didn't call them to eat.
So Chu Dan, who was squatting under the eaves eating fried rice with a big bowl in hand, was startled when he saw him: "You got up so early?"
