Chapter 55 Glorious Deeds
Upon learning that Xu Muzhou and Xiao Qingru had obtained their marriage certificate, the Xu couple prepared to leave for the northwest.
Before you go, you need to prepare some local specialties and take them with you.
"My daughter-in-law called me last time and said the pickles I made were delicious. Her brother also said the pickles were delicious when he came to our house last time. I'll bring some for them this time."
Father Xu nodded. "Of course. Qingru sent us some vermicelli. It's much more troublesome to make than pickles."
Thinking of the gifts she received some time ago, the smile on Xu's mother's face never faded.
According to the conditions of the Xiao family, if you are not satisfied, you can buy ready-made things as a return gift.
Why bother?
The relatives are kind-hearted, and we should appreciate it.
If the two families get along well, the young couple's life will be easier.
After all, it is better to make relatives than enemies. If it is not handled properly, the people caught in the middle may not be able to eat or sleep well.
"We have to bring more stuff with us when we go to the northwest this time. We should bring everything we can. We don't know when we will be able to go there next time."
"Okay, bring the two chickens we raise at home with you so we can eat fresh ones."
"Then you can make a bamboo cage and put the chicken in it."
"It's not that troublesome. It's more convenient to put it in a pocket."
"Okay, you'll be in charge of getting them anyway. They stink, so remember to wash them clean, or you'll be disliked on the train. Also, keep your mouth shut."
Father Xu nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
After counting the things to bring, if it weren't for the limited manpower, Xu's mother would have wanted to move the family to the northwest.
When the neighbors heard that the couple was going to the northwest to attend their wedding, most of them gave their blessings, but some made sarcastic remarks.
"Why don't you go home to hold the wedding when you get married? If you don't know, you might think Xiaozhou is your son-in-law."
There was going to be a wedding at home, and Xu's mother didn't want to quarrel with others, lest she bring bad luck.
"It's too far away, and it's too much trouble to come back. I'll take care of things in the northwest first, and then come back when I need a vacation. I'll give you wedding candies then."
"I think it's more practical to marry a girl from Beijing. She can also take care of you two at home."
Mother Xu smiled with a fake smile, "We are marrying a daughter-in-law, not hiring a nanny. Everyone is born by their parents, so there is no reason to abuse someone else's daughter."
"Serving the parents-in-law and daughter-in-law is what a daughter-in-law should do. How can you say that it is a waste?"
"Isn't this the rule in your family? It's not the case in our Xu family. The daughter-in-law is married to the son, and we don't interfere in the couple's life."
The neighbor originally wanted to marry his daughter to Xu Muzhou, but now that his plan has failed, he is very angry.
Yu 놆's words are not so pleasant to hear.
"If you ask me, I think my daughter-in-law should be kept by my side and taught well. Otherwise, how will she take care of the whole family in the future?"
Mother Xu almost rolled her eyes. Is this guy mentally ill?
It looks like we will be able to communicate later.
"Our daughter-in-law has a job at the 뀗工團, and she is different from someone who can take care of the whole family."
"What? She still has a job? Didn't Xiaozhou say that she dated a country bumpkin?"
In a place like the Northwest, what can the girls from the countryside look like? How can they compare with the girls from Beijing?
This is what many neighbors think.
But most people were silent, but this person spoke up.
The Xu family is a low-key family and never deliberately shows off. They never thought the rumors would be so outrageous.
Aren’t people from Beijing or Northwest China all different?
Even if he did date a country girl, what would that mean?
Anyway, our family has two formal job positions, so why not give them to our daughter-in-law when the time comes?
Out of revenge, Xu's mother said with a smile: "The commander of our in-laws raised two excellent children, one is a pilot and the other is a dancer in the troupe."
The fact that the daughter-in-law of the Xu family has a job in the industrial group is already enviable enough, but now it is said that the girl's father is the commander! The word "envy" is not enough to describe everyone's mood.
The person who wanted to continue making sarcastic remarks smiled sarcastically and said, "Xiao Zhou is really promising. He actually managed to marry a lesbian with such good conditions."
No wonder the Xu family members dared not say a word. How could they afford to offend a daughter-in-law like this?
It would be better to marry her and keep her as a worshipper!
"Our daughter-in-law is a very nice person. You will know when she returns to Beijing."
People standing aside and watching the excitement echoed, "The better off the family conditions are, the more they focus on the cultivation of their children. Unlike us, who just let them grow up freely, your family is so blessed!"
Xu's mother smiled and said, "As long as you two live a good life, Lao Xu and I will feel relieved."
"Your Xiaozhou is a good and down-to-earth child. Anyone who lives with him will have a good life."
After chatting with the neighbors for a while, Xu's mother went out to buy things.
She and her husband had been thinking about their son's marriage these days, and they had been holding on to all the receipts and things and not daring to spend them. This time, they prepared more things to take to the northwest.
Otherwise it will be a waste of time and effort. The more decent the preparation, the better!
After Xu's mother left, the neighbors started talking.
"I was wondering how Xu Muzhou could be interested in a country girl. I didn't expect that my father-in-law's family was so powerful! I'm afraid the Xu family will be so proud in the future."
"I have never seen such a high-ranking official in my life. He can actually become a relative of the commander. I dare not even dream of it!"
“Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry.”
"Before, I was thinking about waiting for Xu Muzhou to bring his new wife home, and then I would make fun of them, but I didn't expect..."
"Don't you think about it? Xu Muzhou is promising and good-looking. Why would he choose an ugly girl?"
"It's not that I think my job is special and I don't usually come into contact with female lesbians, so I can't ask for much."
"There are so many girls in our village who like you, and you don't have high requirements. As for being single until now? I'm afraid you must have several children."
"It's better to have a good job. I heard that the pilot's allowance is much more than others. Whoever marries Xu Muzhou will never have to worry about anything in his life."
"No, I was thinking of introducing my daughter to you. We all know each other well and they are a perfect match. I didn't expect you to marry someone so successful."
"No wonder you were so sarcastic just now, it turns out you had this intention!"
"Look at your own conscience, don't you want to marry your child to Xu Muzhou?"
The Xu family's conditions are obvious to everyone, and Xu Muzhou himself is promising. Anyone with a daughter-in-law in their family would have thought of having one.
Xu Muzhou is married now, so there is no point in saying so much.
Everyone laughed it off and passed over the topic.
Within a short while, everyone knew about Xu Muzhou's glorious deeds.
It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. Many people want their daughters to marry high-class women, and many people also want their sons to marry a daughter-in-law with good conditions.
Now that Xu Muzhou has done it, some people are so jealous that their eyes are red.
They are in a bad mood and are dissatisfied with everything. Those who have sons at home even complain that their sons have no money.
If you are really capable, not to mention marrying the commander's daughter, marrying the daughter of a factory director would also be pretty impressive.
The Xu family had lived in the alley for several years and knew their neighbors well.
But just a few words of idle chat, let's go.
Don't let some irrelevant people ruin your good mood.
After half a month of preparation and asking for leave from the factory, the Xu couple boarded a train to the northwest.
