During the meal.
In order to test Gu Cheng'an's drinking tolerance, starting with Grandpa He, each of them drank with him, one bowl of wine.
"Cheng'an, don't just drink and not eat. Come and eat some fish. I tell you, this fish is delicious."
Looking at the fish in the bowl, Gu Chengan quickly raised his hand to cover the bowl to express his gratitude.
"Brother, you eat too. There is enough in my bowl. Wait until I finish eating before you can take some more." He took his hand away, and a mountain of bowls appeared in front of everyone.
From the moment he sat down at the table, everyone just picked up food for him and didn't give him a chance to eat it.
Every time he wanted to eat a bite of food to drown the smell of alcohol, the next person would pull him to drink.
He had no idea how much he had drunk since the meal.
Looking at his uncle Shen and two cousins who were lying on the side and snoring, as well as Uncle He and the others, he took a deep breath and looked at He Jiadong who was smiling in front of him.
He knew that if he didn't get drunk tonight, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of the door. He turned around and looked at Su Benjun, picked up the bowl again, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.
Fortunately, this time He Jiadong and his friends felt guilty and let him eat a few bites of vegetables, two big buns, and finally a bowl of soup before they continued to force him to drink.
He Wanqing, who had finished her meal long ago and was sitting aside watching the fun, shook her head when she saw this.
This guy is stupid. He drank so much and yet he dared to drink it all in one gulp. He is not afraid of getting drunk.
After taking a look at the smug look in the eyes of several cousins, I knew that they were going to do something bad.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to help, he was pulled away by Mrs. He who had received instructions.
"Don't worry, sister. Your brother-in-law will be fine. Your brothers know their limits."
"Cousin, it's okay even if you're drunk. Your house is big enough for you to live in, so you don't have to worry about any problems."
"Yes, don't stand here, come and chat with us in the room!"
She looked at the three people who were pulling her, then at her cousin who raised his eyebrows at her, and her two cousins who were lying there pretending to be drunk.
She looked tiredly at Gu Cheng'an, who knew nothing, opened her mouth, looked into He Jiadong's eyes, but said nothing. She turned around and followed her sisters-in-law.
Forget it, if I really get drunk, I can just go to her brother’s room and sleep. She won’t care anyway.
The moment she left, the drinking really began.
In the room.
Several sisters-in-law quickly found a place to sit down, and under her puzzled look, they took out the things they had prepared and handed them to her.
"What are you doing, sisters-in-law? I'm not married yet. Isn't it a bit too early to give you these?"
Looking at the money handed over to her, although she was a little greedy, she didn't want it.
“Here, when you get married, we don’t have time to buy things for you, so we’ll give you the money to buy it yourself.
Don’t be reluctant. Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You must buy everything you like.”
"Yes, cousin, your eldest cousin said that if you don't have enough money, he will give you some, but don't be stingy.
Then people will say that we received so much betrothal gifts but didn’t buy anything decent as a dowry.”
"Yeah, that's what I was just about to say. Don't be reluctant. Your eldest brother and the others are working, and we have money, so don't be reluctant."
"That won't take that much. Don't forget that my mom and the others will prepare a lot of things."
Seeing that the money was exactly the same as in her previous life, she refused to take it and gave it back to the people.
"Big sister~"
"Cousin you~"
“I don’t want money, just add some makeup for me, and there’s no need for money, I don’t need it, but you are different.
Sister-in-law, you and brother still want to buy a house in the commune and send your children to school. Now is the time to use the money, so don’t waste it on me.”
After saying this to Xu Mei, he looked at Xu Chun again: "It's the same with your family, cousin-in-law. They are short of money to buy a house, so why are you giving it to me?
With these fifty dollars, we can buy a house if we gather them together. Don’t give it to me. I don’t want it even if you give it to me.”
"It's the same with you, sister-in-law. You and my brother both teach at the brigade's primary school, and you only get so little salary a month. What can you do?
You two have children to raise, and your elder brothers are all in the commune, so you two don't plan to go there?"
"Third sister-in-law, you and fifth sister-in-law are the same. The eldest brother and the others all have regular jobs, while the third and fifth brothers are unemployed and work in the fields every day. Why are you two pretending to be so great?
If you give me this fifty dollars, will your family still be able to make ends meet?
Fourth brother is getting married soon, do you two have fifty dollars to spare?"
“Second cousin, it’s the same for you and third cousin, take all the money back, I don’t want it.
If you really feel that you have too much money to spend, then buy some food and toys for your children. If that doesn't work, then take them to the county town to play for a day.
I can use anything to buy makeup for myself, why should I empty my pockets to pay for it?"
She knew the situations of each family very well. In her previous life, she took money because He Cao and others had deceived her so much that she didn't think about it.
If she didn't think about this again, she would have wasted the kindness of her sisters-in-law and brothers.
Looking at the money that was returned to them, Xu Mei and the others looked at each other, opened their mouths, and were about to say that the house was not sold, but were shocked by her next words.
"Go east from the big archway leading to our brigade, there are several families who want to sell their houses.
There is also a house for sale in the alley not far from your factory.
If you have time tomorrow, go and have a look. The price should not be expensive. It is sold by someone who has family problems."
After the house finished speaking, it told the few memories of its past life: “There were people selling jobs in the machinery plant, the steel plant, and the match factory.
Third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, second cousin, third cousin, those of you who don’t have jobs, go and have a look tomorrow and find a job, it’s better than digging for food in the fields.
When I was taking the bus to the county town that day, I heard that the steel plant was recruiting drivers. You can also go and take a look.
If you can't buy a job, then you can pay someone to apply for the driver position.
Drivers can work in other places. Although the salary is not high at the beginning, there are many things that can be manipulated in the process. "
These words were not spoken to a few people, but to the aunt and uncle who came in.
Seeing the curious looks on their faces, she thought for a moment and told them again what happened when she went to the commune that day.
Finally, as if she remembered something, she looked at her eldest and second aunts who were thinking beside her:
"Aunt, second aunt, seventh brother and eighth brother are useless at home farming, why not let them learn to be drivers!"
It just satisfies the brothers' desire to explore the world, and they can also learn some skills, which is better than farming at home.
The two people who were called looked at each other and wanted to think about it, but Grandma He, who came in a step later, made the final decision.
"Go, as for those jobs, go check them out. If you don't have enough money, we can always make it by pooling our resources."
There was no opportunity before, but now that it is available, the old lady still hopes that her grandchildren will go to work in the commune instead of digging for food in the fields.
Seeing this, the two sisters-in-law looked at each other, nodded, and said they did not go to see it.
