Chapter 145 Inquiry
Gu Ci understood that they wanted to embarrass him by saying that he was a live-in son-in-law.
But he doesn't care about this at all?
All his relatives are in Lingxia Village. Even if Chu Hong wants to marry him, he would rather marry into her family's family, right?
Besides, marrying into the wife's family only brings a bad reputation, but does he get any benefits?
My father-in-law is capable and competent, and my mother-in-law is generous and good-tempered.
You don’t have to worry about food and drink, and your future will be taken care of by your parents-in-law.
He's living a good life.
Therefore, facing everyone's cautious and inquiring looks, he took the opportunity to show off that Chu Hong was now the director of women's affairs and could go to the commune for meetings.
Finally, Gu Ci looked at Su Jinxiang and said politely, "If you encounter any problems in the future, you can also ask Chu Hong for help."
In theory, this is a good thing to say, but Chu Hong's job is to mediate conflicts between couples.
You just got married today, and he said you had marital conflicts. That doesn't sound good, does it?
But they can't curse at them, otherwise they will start a quarrel and ruin their wedding.
Therefore, when Li Xun saw that Su Jinxiang looked unhappy, he immediately pulled her back and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat."
The male educated youth also started chatting, asking about the progress of the reservoir, or expressing their curiosity about the educated youth in Lingxia Village.
Although the offal dishes didn’t taste very good, at least there was enough white rice.
After finishing his meal, Gu Ci put down his bowl and chopsticks, glanced at his watch, and stood up to say goodbye: "I have to go back to work, so I'll leave first. You can come over and play when you have time later."
Zhang Jianming and the others also agreed, and stood up to say goodbye to the newlyweds.
The main thing is that the dishes have been served, and there is no point in just sitting there and talking.
After they left, one of the male educated youths couldn't help but complain: "The meat dishes today are not tasty. Are we only allowed to eat until we are full?"
Then he asked the male educated youth who had attended the banquet at Lingxia Village the other day, "Were the dishes at Gu Ci's banquet the other day also these?"
Zhang Jianming said, "People are different from each other. Even if the same chef cooks the same dish, the ingredients used are different."
Another male educated youth chimed in: "The vegetarian dishes at the banquet the other day were also very oily, there was shredded pork in the fried tofu, and the pig offal was also very clean and delicious."
"And the portion of each dish is very generous. I was full from the vegetables the day before, and I was full from the rice today."
"Okay, let's all say less, lest anyone hear us." The captain who knew about the situation was cautious: "We still have to live under Secretary Su and Captain Su?"
Someone else also had this idea: "Look at how different Gu Ci is after getting married. I want to get married too."
Someone reminded him: "Think carefully, once you get married, you can't go back."
"But even if we don't get married, will we have a chance to go back?"
"There are so many unemployed young people in the city right now that they can't find a job unless your parents are willing to give up their jobs."
This is a heavy topic. Parents nowadays are unwilling to give up their jobs, either because they want to leave the jobs to their younger children, or because they cannot give up the jobs, or because the mother does not have a job.
If the father is the only one working in the family, no matter how much he loves his children, he will not let them leave.
Because even if you can take over your parents' job, you will be an apprentice and the salary will be low.
Nowadays, it is common for families to have three or four children when there are elderly people at home.
They all live on the salary of the head of the household.
Although when their sons went to the countryside, their parents promised to find jobs for them.
But no one has any hope now.
At this moment, the male educated youth were all wondering whether they should find a partner and get married.
After all, there are two male educated youth who have set examples. By looking at how they are after marriage, we can know whether marriage is a good thing or not, right?
They looked at each other and both felt that they could wait a little longer to see how they got along.
When Gu Ci returned and didn't see Chu Hong and the bicycle, he knew she hadn't come back yet.
But I knew before that she might have a meal at He's house. Now she hasn't come back yet, so she must be having lunch at He's house.
He also changed into his old work clothes and went to the reservoir with his trouser legs rolled up.
On the other side, Secretary Su also forced a smile and sent the guests away.
In the end, there were only a few real relatives left.
Secretary Su started to get angry: "The meat dishes today don't taste right, why don't you guys clean them up more?"
Liu Fangfang has also been busy these days, and has put in a lot of effort. She also wants her parents-in-law to see her diligence, but she didn't expect that she would be held accountable later.
Of course, she didn't want to take the blame, so she immediately said, "That shouldn't be the case. These were all taken care of by Jin Xiang and Chen Mei, right?"
Secretary Su got even angrier when he heard this: "They don't work carefully, so why don't you keep an eye on them?"
Liu Fangfang held her belly, lowered her head and said nothing.
Su Hongwei was unhappy when he saw this: "Dad, Fangfang is pregnant and can't stand the smell. She will vomit uncomfortably."
"Besides, this is for Chen Mei and Jin Xiang's wedding banquet. If they don't pay attention to their work, you can't blame my wife, right?"
When Aunt Su heard this, she glared at her youngest son. She was afraid that her husband would blame her, so she immediately said, "I shouldn't have just taught her once and then went on to do other things. I will teach Chen Mei well in the future."
Su Hongqi must speak for his wife who just came in today: "It's not bad, actually? Haven't you eaten most of these dishes?"
Li Xun still had some pork offal left, but all the ten tables here were almost empty.
After all, country people are more frugal, and they will finish the food even if it doesn’t taste very good.
Everyone thought that as long as it was cooked and eaten, there would be nothing wrong.
Secretary Su glared at him and said, "It won't stop people from gossiping about you behind your back."
First, the chef who was invited today complained to him that the pig offal was not cleaned up properly and had a strange smell because it was not salted enough.
They also complained that there was not enough soybean oil and lard, which would affect the taste of the dishes.
But they had nowhere to buy it now, and even if they went to town to buy it, it would be too late.
Secretary Su is also a man who cares about his reputation. He originally wanted to put on a good show to suppress his former relative, Secretary Song.
Unfortunately, things went against their wishes and in the end, they were the ones who brought shame upon themselves.
He wanted to scold his wife for being so stingy, but seeing that her family was still there, especially Wang Dazhi, who was now wearing red sleeves, he was a little afraid and could only scold his two sons: "You two idiots, don't you know how to be more careful? You spent the same money, but others have a good reputation, but you are laughed at."
Uncle Wang, who looked fierce, spoke up: "Brother-in-law, it's all over, don't be angry anymore."
Secretary Su was still a little afraid of his brother-in-law, so he took a deep breath and said, "I'll listen to you, brother. Let's have some tea."
Aunt Su quickly asked her daughter-in-law to make tea. Nowadays, when treating distinguished guests, people would just put some tea leaves and more sugar in the tea, and it would be considered a good thing if it tasted sweet.
Wang Dazhi drank a sip of sweet tea and asked, "Is Chu Hong really married?"
