All the fried foods prepared were not finished until the evening.
The aroma of fried food could be smelled all day long by the families living in the compound.
However, we are all respectable people, so naturally we would not come to your house at this time.
When Gu Zhenghai got home from get off work in the evening, he was delighted to find the table full of fried food.
I found a pair of clean chopsticks and tasted everything.
The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes. It’s so delicious that you can’t stop eating.
I couldn't help but nodded: "It's been many years since I last ate these things. Our family had a lively New Year this year."
In previous years, the couple would celebrate the New Year alone, and most of the time they would have dinner with the soldiers in the cafeteria.
I don’t know how many years ago it was that our family would get together once a year.
Gu Zhenhai suppressed his inner sadness and couldn't help but eat two more pieces of glutinous rice cakes.
"I......"
Gu Zhenhai was about to speak when Li Jizhong and Wang Zelan next door were talking about something. Suddenly, Wang Zelan's voice became louder.
"I don't have one. You can marry me or not. At worst, I don't want this son anymore."
Li Jizhong pulled aside: "Hey, keep your voice down, let's go inside and talk."
Luan Huiying ran to the door and listened until there was no sound.
He looked at Gu Zhenhai in confusion: "What's going on? What happened to the Li family?"
Gu Zhenhai shook his head. It was not his business to talk about other people’s affairs.
Luan Huiying rolled her eyes: "What's the big deal? If there's anything the Li family needs help with, we can help."
Gu Zhenhai glanced around and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him with curiosity, but he shook his head and said nothing.
"Forget it, let's eat quickly."
It was not until the next day when Wang Zelan came to visit with Chenchen in her arms that I knew what had happened the night before.
Wang Zelan was angry at home all night, and she was angry no matter how she thought about it.
She and Li Jizhong only had two sons in this life.
The eldest son, Li Shengli, has had a stable job in recent years and married the daughter of his leader's family.
Since I was not with them when they got married, I didn't cause them as parents to worry.
She and her husband were afraid that their daughter-in-law would feel that her husband's family did not value her, so they sent their son money and various other things.
Later, when her daughter-in-law became pregnant, she went to help take care of her. After taking care of the child for several years, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well.
But the younger son, Li Guosheng, was much more rebellious. When asked to study hard, he would hang out with his bad friends outside.
Later, seeing that he was not good at studying, his family asked him to join the army, but he was afraid of the hardship and fatigue and was unwilling to do so.
There was no other way, so the couple had to use their connections to find him an office job locally.
Because of Li Jizhong's identity, many people actually introduced potential partners to Li Guosheng.
They all come from good families and the girls themselves are promising.
But Li Guosheng didn't want any of them, and in the end, he didn't know how he got together with his current partner, Sun Jingjing.
Sun Jingjing is good-looking and knows how to act coquettishly and show weakness. In short, she has Li Guosheng under her control. Li Guosheng is determined to marry her.
Wang Zelan and his wife don't have any requirements for their future daughter-in-law. As long as she is a well-behaved girl and the two children get along well, they have no objection.
But who knew that Sun Jingjing's family was really not doing well.
Her father worked as a boiler operator in a factory, earning about 20 yuan a month, and her mother worked as a cleaner in the factory, earning about 10 yuan a month.
The two older brothers are uneducated and unskilled, and they can't even get a temporary job now.
That’s fine, the family conditions are pretty good, there’s nothing we can do about it.
But the family knew that Li Guosheng's family was well-off and his father and brother were both officials.
When the two were preparing to get married, the Sun family asked for a huge sum of money, and the betrothal gift alone was three hundred yuan.
That’s not all, they also asked to find stable jobs for Sun Jingjing’s two brothers.
He doesn't want to do hard labor, but wants to find a job that pays well and requires easy office work.
Not only that, but they'd have to have a wedding house, right? They'd have to buy furniture for it, right? They'd also have to prepare bicycles and watches.
The six members of the Sun family are now crowded in a small house of less than 20 square meters.
The house Li Guosheng lives in is big enough, and the Sun family wants him to vacate two rooms to serve as a wedding house for Sun Jingjing's brother.
In short, when two people start dating, they make constant demands.
I don't know where his family gets the confidence that the Li family will definitely agree.
But it’s no wonder that they have the confidence to make these requests, because Li Guosheng actually dared to agree to them.
He did everything he could, and if he couldn't do something, he would write letters or call Li Jizhong or his elder brother Li Shengli in the army.
In short, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Sun family sucking his blood.
Yesterday, the two of them were planning to get married and wanted to buy some nice clothes.
A coat costs more than 70 yuan, plus a sweater, pants and shoes, the whole set costs another 100 or 200 yuan.
But Li Guosheng didn't have that much money, so he could only call Li Jizhong in the army and ask him to send it to him.
"Is she a celestial being? Who has the means to buy her clothes worth hundreds of dollars?
We haven't even met each other yet, but he's already been asking my son for this and that. He writes and calls us every day, but he never even asks how his parents are doing. His first request is money, money, money."
Wang Zelan shed many tears because of her youngest son.
The son whom I raised with great effort didn't care about his parents at all and never said a word of concern from beginning to end.
"Even if they want to get married, they will do it within their means. We gave a total of 300 yuan for the eldest son's wedding, and we didn't have to worry about anything else. I told the second son at the time that the wedding would cost 300 yuan each, but because the second son was several years later than the eldest, we old couple might add a little more when the time comes. The eldest and his wife didn't have any objections.
But you can't ask us for it without any bottom line, right?"
Luan Huiying didn't expect that it was because of this matter. What could she say?
"So what are you and Lao Li going to do? Are you going to let them get married?"
To put it bluntly, it is no longer possible for them to get married if they want to or not.
According to the girl's family's behavior, if Li Guosheng dared to break up at this time, Sun Jingjing would have plenty of ways to make him marry her.
But if that's the case, it's obvious that Wang Zelan is not willing to do that. Her daughter-in-law's family is so bad, and if she really gets married, she won't have to support the whole family.
Little Chenchen didn't know what was going on. Seeing his grandma crying, he got scared and started crying too.
"Grandma, don't cry, wuwuwu..."
Seeing that her little grandson was frightened, Wang Zelan quickly wiped away her tears and comforted Chenchen.
"Chenchen, it's okay, it's okay. Something dirty got into grandma's eyes. Grandma didn't cry, and Chenchen was also very good. Grandma will get you some candy later, okay?"
