Chapter 39 Gift

Xu Muzhou was the most promising young man in the village. When he heard that he was going home for the New Year, the families nearby also started to make plans.

If I marry my daughter into the Xu family, won't she be able to inherit the jobs of those two sons?

Nowadays, each job has its own pit. Xu Muzhou can't do it, so it's natural for his in-laws to do it.

In addition to work, our yard is also very useful. In the future, the two young children will be in the northwest, and the two children of the Xu family will not be able to live in it, or they may go to the northwest to retire. What to do with the courtyard house? Isn't this obvious?

Xu Muzhou was also very capable. I heard that he was a pilot. It would be so prestigious for him to marry his daughter to him.

Therefore, starting from the first day of the new year, many people come to visit our home every day.

Xu's mother even suspected that the threshold of her house was about to be trampled down.

"Where's your boat? Why can't I see it?"

"Oh, I went out to post a letter."

"Are you still so busy during your vacation?"

"When you're young, you write letters to the girl you like, one letter a day, and mail it on time. I don't think you were that serious when you were in school."

"Ah? Xiao Zhou has a date, why didn't I hear about it before?"

"It's something that happened recently. The girl didn't want to talk to me before."

The neighbors grumbled in their hearts, how picky this girl must be, she actually doesn't like Xu Muzhou.

You know, the Xu family is a piece of fat meat!

And Xu Muzhou is tall and strong, with an unusually handsome face, but there are still people who look down on him!

"So now you are willing to talk to me?"

"That's about right."

"It looks like I'll be able to attend your wedding next year."

"I'll lend you my good words."

As soon as Xu's mother's words spread, everyone knew that Xu Muzhou had someone he liked.

The plan failed, and in the following days, half of the money in the house was gone.

As the holiday was coming to an end, Xu Muzhou went to the Friendship Store before returning to the northwest.

I heard that some dating partners in Beijing would give chocolate to girls as gifts, so I specially spent a lot of money to exchange it for overseas Chinese coupons from others and bought a box of imported chocolate for Xiao Qingru.

I hold it in my arms like a treasure, but I don’t know if Qingru will like it?

In addition, he bought three roast ducks, one to keep at home and the other two to bring to the Xiao family.

The weather is cold this season, so it's okay to leave it for two days.

"You only brought these few things back to me when you went back to Beijing?" Mother Xu had a complicated look on her face. Why would her son be so stingy?

Just two roast ducks, how dare you offer them?

"There are still two hours before departure. Ask your father to buy two more roast ducks and bring some cakes from Beijing. Bicycles are very fast, so we should be in time."

"No, if I give her too much, Qingru will feel pressured. You can bring more next time."

Mother Xu patted her forehead and said, "I am really old and confused. When you decide, I will send you some special products from Beijing."

"Well, you guys go back."

Parting is always sad. On the way to the train station, Xu's mother joked with her son, asking him to go back to the northwest and win her daughter-in-law.

But at this moment I can't control my emotions.

My nose felt sore and tears wet the corners of my eyes.

"Why are you crying? If this kid wants to show some strength, won't we go to the northwest to meet our daughter-in-law in a few days? This is a good thing."

Mother Xu wiped her eyes and said, "You are right."

"Son, we are waiting for your good news at home."

Xu Muzhou waved his hand and said nothing. Everything was implied.

When Xu Muzhou's back disappeared, Xu's mother burst into tears again.

Even Xu, a man, felt a little sad.

When the children were young, they had to go out early and come back late to make a living. At that time, the son would sit at the door waiting for them to come back.

Now the child has grown up, and they are waiting for their son to come home.

After standing for a long time, he said, "Let's go home."

"Well, let's go back."

After arriving home, Xu's mother went to clean up the room where Xu Muzhou had stayed for a short time.

Quilts and other things should be put away, and taken out to dry from time to time, so that you can continue using them when you go home next year.

As soon as I rolled up the paving, I found a pile of money underneath. I counted it and found it was about two thousand yuan.

Isn't this what we call the amount of the bride price?

"You left so much money, your pockets must be empty, right?"

"The pilot's allowance is different from others. Two thousand yuan is equivalent to half a year's allowance. If I give it to you, you should keep it."

"Okay, I'll give this money to my daughter-in-law when we get married."

Two thousand yuan is a huge sum of money. At that time, we still have to go to work and cannot take it to the factory. It is safer to keep it in the bank.

So, Xu's mother went out again and was relieved after putting the money away.
