Chapter 12: Couples’ Night Talk

At night, before Lu Weiguo went to sleep, he talked about this with his wife.

Lu Guihua, Lu's second sister-in-law, sat up immediately after hearing this, "What did you say?"

"Is his third uncle not going to meet the female soldiers in the art troupe? He wants to marry Su Zhiqing?" Lu

Weiguo was shocked, "Keep your voice down."

Lu Guihua curled her lips, "It's not something shameful, why should you keep your voice down?"

Then she approached with a gossipy look on her face and asked, "Will your mother agree?"

When she wanted to marry Lu Weiguo, Li Yue'e didn't agree. If she and Lu Weiguo hadn't made it a done deal, this marriage might not have been possible.

In the past few years, she has been humble and gave birth to two grandchildren for their family, which is why she barely caught the eye of her mother-in-law.

Lu Changzheng was her mother-in-law's most promising son, and

her mother-in-law attached great importance to his marriage. When the female soldier from the art troupe came to her house through someone, her mother-in-law didn't show it on her face, but she was still very happy and satisfied in her heart.

Now, if it was a sent-down youth who went to the countryside, would her mother-in-law agree?

"She didn't say she didn't agree. She also took the initiative to talk about the banquet and the betrothal gift, so she should agree." Lu Weiguo said.

"That educated youth Su was very beautiful. I heard that she brought two big suitcases when she came. The clothes she wore were made of materials we have never seen before. She must have a well-off family, otherwise your mother would not agree."

"You see, your brother is really lucky. When he joined the army, so many people failed to get selected, but he was selected and became a high-ranking officer. Now he has returned to the countryside to marry a wife, and he married a very beautiful one with a well-off family."

"Is she really that beautiful?" Lu Weiguo couldn't help but feel curious.

Lu Weiguo worked in the commune's wood processing factory. He left home early and came back late every day. He had never seen Su Mo.

Lu Guihua rolled his eyes at him. "What? No matter how beautiful she is, she is your sister-in-law."

Lu Weiguo was speechless. "What nonsense are you talking about? You said she was beautiful yourself, and I just asked casually."

Lu Guihua was not bad looking, otherwise Lu Weiguo would not have insisted on marrying her, and even tasted the forbidden fruit first to force her family to agree.

"Did your mother say how much betrothal gift she would give?"

"My mother said 200."

Lu Guihua pouted. See, this is the difference. She and her sister-in-law only gave 50.

However, this cannot be compared. Everyone knows how much money her brother-in-law has sent back over the years. Giving 200 is also acceptable.

"What about the rest? Did they say?" Lu Guihua asked again.

"They only said to buy her a bicycle, nothing else." Lu Weiguo answered.

"Then your parents are fair."

"Of course, my parents do things well, that's for sure." Lu Weiguo was very proud, "However, the third brother will have to invite the whole team to the banquet, and it will probably take at least 20 tables."

"What?" Lu Guihua jumped up again, "How much will it cost? The third brother is a military officer after all, the banquet can't be too bad, if we calculate it at 10 yuan per table, it will cost at least 200 yuan."

"It doesn't have to be that much. You have to give gifts when you have a banquet, minus the gifts, it will probably only be a few dozen yuan." Lu Weiguo didn't care too much.

Anyway, it was said that the third brother would take care of the meat himself, and the family would just have to provide some grain and vegetables, and if there were more people, they could just cook more corn porridge.

"You think so! Nowadays, many people pay 20 cents for a banquet." Lu Guihua was speechless.

"You don't have to worry about that. The third child said that he would take care of the meat himself, and the family just needs to provide grain and vegetables."

"That's good." Lu Guihua breathed a sigh of relief, "But even if it's grain, you have to provide a lot. Don't let the family not have enough food next year after the banquet."

"You don't have to worry about it. If there is not enough food, won't mother buy it from the team?"

"Hey, didn't they say that we would divide the family when the third child gets married? Did parents say so? Or are they not going to divide it now?"

"No, they didn't say so, but they should divide it." Lu Weiguo said, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and he fell asleep soon.

Lu Guihua looked at the sleeping Lu Weiguo, muttering in her heart, don't divide it again.

Her husband gets 28 yuan a month, but now he gives 20 yuan to the family, and their family only gets 8 yuan. Excluding the favors from Lu Weiguo and the food expenses when they don't bring their own food, their family can't save much money.

If they split up, then the 28 yuan salary will all go to their family.

Although the food will definitely not be enough if she earns work points alone, it won't cost much to buy food in the team, so they will definitely be able to save a lot.

Lu Guihua suddenly felt that her life had a purpose, and she wished that Lu Changzheng would get married tomorrow and split up the day after tomorrow so that she wouldn't feel bad about food.

On the other side.

The eldest brother Lu Xingjun and the eldest sister-in-law Liu Yuzhi also said the same thing. Liu Yuzhi just listened quietly and said nothing.

"Mom and Dad have arranged everything, we just do it." Liu Yuzhi said, "However, we agreed that the family will be separated after the third child gets married. You should mention this." "

Since the second child went to work in the lumber mill, the second child's family has been very gloomy, as if our family has taken advantage of them. I'm really fed up with it." "

Mom and Dad said that the family will be separated, so it will be separated naturally." Lu Xingjun said.

In fact, Lu Xingjun was also unwilling to do so in his heart and wanted to separate the family. There were

four brothers and sisters. The second child worked in the lumber mill, the third child was a military officer, and the younger sister worked in the supply and marketing cooperative. Everyone had a salary. He was the only one in the countryside. Although he was the accountant of the brigade, he only received work point subsidies but no salary.

Moreover, because there was no division of the family, the brigade's dividends at the end of the year were all in the hands of Li Yue'e, and she only gave each room some pocket money every year.

When the second child was the same as him before, he didn't think it was a big deal. When the second child also received a salary, the contrast came out.

He is 29 years old now, and he also wants to live a life with money in his hands and be the master of the family.

The first room has three children, the first two are girls, and the third is a boy. The eldest girl is 9 years old this year, the second girl is 7 years old, and the third boy is 4 years old.

The second room has two children, both of whom are sons. The eldest son is 7 years old and the second son is 5 years old.

Before the birth of her son, Liu Yuzhi's life was actually quite depressed.

Whenever there was something delicious at home, Lu Guihua would rush to give it to her son, saying that the eldest grandson should eat more. Her eldest and second daughters went to pick pig grass to earn work points, while the two children from the second room ran around the whole village to play.

Before Lu Weiguo went to the lumber mill, there were two people in the second wife, one earned eight centimeters and the other earned six centimeters.

Her husband was the accountant of the brigade, and the work points were calculated equally according to the one with the most in the team. Even she herself earned seven or eight work points, and the children also earned work points by cutting pig grass.

Before, when the second wife took advantage of their first wife, they didn't say anything.

Since the second child was admitted to the lumber mill two years ago and received a salary, Lu Guihua has been very angry. She would squeeze her from time to time, and always push more work at home to her, saying that her family was taking advantage.

Over time, the conflict between the first and second wives became deeper.

Li Yue'e said it several times, and Lu Guihua would restrain herself for a few days when she said it, and then return to her old ways after a few days.

She also knew that a big tree has many branches, so the couple decided to wait until the third son got married before dividing the family.

Then everyone would live their own lives, which would be more peaceful.

Anyway, each of the three sons would have three rooms, so there was nothing to say.
