Chapter 67 Xu Yao had better pray that her son lives longer
Normally the bride and her husband would return home after three days, but due to work and various other reasons, some would return after two days or a week.
Xu Yao took a sip of noodles and said, "The day after tomorrow, Chang Yu and I are both free, we can just do it ourselves, mom, you can take a rest."
The day after tomorrow is the day when the textile factory pays wages.
"Okay, see what you and An An are still short of, and ask him to buy it together. He has to go back to the army in a few days."
At this point, Ji's mother remembered that their marriage report had not yet come out, and planned to go to her son to ask about the situation.
Although they became husband and wife after the wedding banquet, she always felt uneasy because the certificate was not obtained.
Ji Changyu has to go back to the army in a few days...
An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in Xu Yao's heart.
Having been with this man day and night for the past few days, she had become accustomed to looking for him for help when she had something to do. It was no wonder that she felt upset when she suddenly learned that he was about to leave.
But this is normal. After spending a few days with friends and relatives, you will feel a sense of loss after they part.
Xu Yao soon put it out of her mind.
After Lian Guangjun gets off work, she has to hurry up to review and try to get into the winery in one go.
－－
A can of malted milk, two pounds of brown sugar, a stick of pork belly, and a stick of pure fat meat made from refined lard. This was Xu Yao's return gift.
He should have bought some more cigarettes and alcohol, but Xu Yao didn't want to let Xu Weidong enjoy them, so he didn't buy any.
But having these things is already good enough.
In addition, some of the red dates, biscuits, beef cubes, etc. that Ji Changyu had bought for Xu Yao were left at home by Xu Yao, so Liu Mei and Xu Gang could not finish them in a short time.
After about fifty minutes of bus ride and more than ten minutes of walking, the family of three returned to the county town.
"Oh, Yaoyao is back so soon? An'an looks a little fatter."
Aunt Wu, who was sitting at the door, smiled and shouted into the house, "Sister Liu, you have a distinguished guest."
Hearing the noise, Liu Mei came out of the house immediately, looked at them with joy on her face, and frowned slightly.
"You've come here, but you've brought so many things. These two pieces of meat must weigh 15 pounds. Do you have any objections to this? I'll keep the pork belly and make braised pork for you at noon, and you can take this piece of fat back with you."
"There's also malted milk. Why would we drink malted milk at our age? Take it back and give it to An An."
Ji Changyu took the things into the house and put them down, smiling, "My mom thought we didn't buy enough, so she asked us to add this piece of fat meat. Why isn't my brother at home?"
Xu Yao glanced to the side. They bought things directly from the supply and marketing cooperative and came here. Ji's mother had no idea what they bought.
I thought a straight-laced person like Ji Changyu would not lie.
Did the in-laws really say that?
Liu Mei looked at him suspiciously, her attention diverted. "He went back to Xiahe Village to meet a friend. He left yesterday. I don't know if he will come back today."
Xu Yao knew that Xu Gang was out fishing, so she said that she would go back to Xiahe Village today to complete the house transfer.
Liu Mei was worried.
The house was bought with Xu Qiang's job. If something went wrong with Xu Qiang's job, would Sun Yanfang not make trouble?
She felt that her current peaceful life was good enough and didn't want to have anything to do with Sun Yanfang anymore.
"Mom, the team leader and the branch secretary have agreed. It's written in black and white. It's useless even if Sun Yanfang makes a fuss. Besides, there's no share for my brother in the old house. If he doesn't want this broken house, he won't even have a base. Which girl would be willing to marry him?"
Liu Mei had no opinion to begin with, but after hearing what Xu Yao said made sense, she agreed immediately.
Xu Yao took Liu Mei to the textile factory to collect her salary and signed a certificate for collecting the salary on her behalf. From then on, Liu Mei would collect the salary and then call Xu Weidong back from the factory.
After everyone arrived, they walked to the door. Li Wenhui came over and pulled Xu Yao aside.
He secretly gave Xu Yao a dollar.
"Sun Daying and my brother have decided to get married. He will come to your village to propose marriage today. This is a thank you gift for the matchmaking."
Everyone in the neighborhood knew that she was introducing a date to her younger brother Li Jichang, and anyone who didn't give a gift to the matchmaker would be scolded.
Normally, you should give at least two dollars. Her one dollar is like giving money to a beggar. She is so stingy.
No wonder Li Wenhui didn't give it in public.
The family took the bus to the town on time.
After getting off the car, Ji Changyu picked up Xu Jiaan in his arms and walked for a while before reaching Xiahe Village.
"Hey, Boss Xu and his family are back? It feels like you haven't been away for long, how come everyone looks so different?"
The middle-aged women working in the fields turned their heads to look at them.
"Yaoyao has a good complexion and the skirt suits her well. She looks prettier than the actresses in the movies. An'an has gained some weight on her face and looks like the fairy child in the New Year pictures."
"Yes, Liu Mei is also in good spirits. I saw the dress she was wearing in the department store, but I couldn't bear to buy it. It's her daughter and son-in-law who are filial."
It turned out that these people looked at the original body with contempt, but now they want to praise every hair of Xu Yao.
Xu Weidong held his head high and listened with his ears pricked up.
I didn't hear a single word praising him!
He kicked the stones at his feet in frustration.
There was an old lady with a mean and sad face, sneering at this group of flatterers.
"Xu Yao, are you doing well in the city? Are there any women giving you trouble?"
Xu Yao was confused. "No, my mother-in-law is very kind and treats me very well."
After they walked over, the aunt said proudly.
"Hmph, see. It must be because her husband and his ex-wife can't have children, so her mother-in-law and husband treat her so well. Xu Jiaan looks sick and pale as a ghost. Xu Yao had better pray that her son lives longer."
They also didn’t know what she said behind their backs, otherwise they would have torn her mouth apart.
The news of their return spread quickly.
Xu Xiangbei and Sun Yanfang took a leave and hurried back to the house to serve tea and water to the family.
Xu Qiang, who is usually very arrogant, is like a wild cat with its nails and teeth pulled out.
After watching them drink the sugar-water eggs with her own eyes, Sun Yanfang finally couldn't help rubbing her hands and asked about Xu Qiang's work.
Ji Changyu glanced at them calmly.
"I've found it. It's in the production department of the wine factory. There's probably about ten days left before the exam. I'll call the team then. Keep an eye out."
The second family and Xu Weidong were overjoyed when they heard this.
In their opinion, Ji Changyu had already made the arrangements, and Xu Qiang's exam there was just a formality.
"That's great." Xu Xiangbei's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Yanfang, why are you standing there? Go to the field and pick the freshest vegetables."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Kill a chicken too."
Sun Yanfang responded happily and ran to the yard to deal with the chicken.
Put the neck, wings, chicken feet, butt and other parts with less meat in a bowl to entertain them.
The remaining meaty part was smeared with salt and eaten behind closed doors after they left.
"Oh, I just remembered. Daniu just came to look for me, but I have something else to do, so I'd better go out for a while." Xu Qiang couldn't sit still as if he had a needle stuck in his butt.
Xu Xiangbei knew that he couldn't wait to show off to Zhang Hongzhi, so he waved his hand with understanding.
Otherwise he had to stay here to take care of the boss's family. He would have already run outside with a loudspeaker to preach.
His son is about to become a glorious worker!
And he is the worker's father!
Seeing his grandson gone, Old Man Xu couldn't sit still and wanted to chat with the old ladies in the village.
"I'm going to pee outside."
Xu Jiaan clutched her small shoulder bag tightly and blinked her eyelashes slightly.
"Mom, I'm going to find my friend."
