Chapter 55 Emptying the Enemy's House and Marrying the Bully 11
"What's in the tin can is what I've earned over the past ten years. You can manage it from now on. Don't worry, just give us thirty yuan a month. We're not short of money."
Because he didn't earn work points, he gave his family fifteen yuan every month, just as a token gesture.
But in reality, what he brought back each month far exceeded that fifteen yuan.
"And this one too. My parents said that the money we received as gifts today will also be ours to keep. From now on, we'll handle the gifts for my friends ourselves."
Ning Yan opened the tin can and poured out all the money inside. Then she leaned against the pile of quilts and began to count the money with great satisfaction.
Good heavens, he spent over two thousand yuan on his wedding, and there's still three thousand four hundred and twenty-six yuan left in this jar.
Picking up another stack of red paper, I saw that besides recording who in the village gave how much money as a gift, the total amount was also written below. And let me tell you, it was quite a lot.
“I’ll keep the gift money list. We can use it as a reference when giving gifts in the future. You should give this money to your family. After all, we haven’t separated our households.”
"No need, just keep it when I tell you to. The second brother and the others do the same."
Ning Yan then put the money into the tin can.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at making money. You're so young and you've already saved up so much money."
Fan Dahu leaned close to Ning Yan's ear and whispered, "There are some things I didn't dare leave at home. I'll bring them back in a couple of days and keep them for you."
Ning Yan: ...You're already handing over all your secret stash of money right after getting married and before even consummating your marriage?!
"Yes, I like housekeepers the most." So, you can go out and make money, I'll take care of the money properly.
At this moment, Fan Dahu glanced at his watch and said, "Well, honey, I'm going to prepare your bathwater. Wait for me a bit."
Ning Yan: ...Summer days are long, and it's actually not early anymore, it's past nine o'clock.
This also means the main event is about to begin.
While Ning Yan was taking a shower, he waited outside. After Ning Yan finished showering and poured out the water, he took two buckets of water and poured them over his head. The shower was over in one minute.
In the Fan family courtyard, the lights in several houses were turned off.
Fan Dahu tried to walk quietly back to his room and closed the door.
At this moment, Ning Yan's long curly hair was loose, and she was wearing a white sleeveless nightgown.
It was just an ordinary nightgown, yet she wore it with an air of both innocence and allure.
Fan Dahu's throat moved rapidly, and then he scooped up Ning Yan and put her on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Ning Yan suddenly had a bad feeling. Would she be unable to get out of bed tomorrow?
I'm so impatient, so impatient!
"Ugh, damn it..." She was in so much pain, that stupid bear!
Oh my god, I'm so angry! Has he never seen a woman in his eight lifetimes?
Fan Dahu was afraid that his wife would make too much noise and be heard by others, so he quickly covered her mouth. Fortunately, he didn't stab her in the back again!
After Ning Yan finally recovered from the pain, she pushed away the man's buzz cut and said, "You, you want to kill me!"
Fan Dahu was panting heavily, sweat dripping down his face. "My dear wife, it was you who took my life..."
It's too scary, I don't dare to move, I really don't dare to move.
"young married woman……"
Fifteen minutes later, Fan Dahu let out a long, satisfying breath. Two seconds later, he perked up again. "Wife, you taught me so well. You're a high school student after all. I've learned it. I'm sure I can get a perfect score this time."
Genius students usually grasp things instantly, and the couple spent most of the night studying the subject before they could finally stop.
In the early morning, just as dawn was breaking, there was a commotion in the Fan family's courtyard. Ning Yan, who was clearly very sleepy, was woken up by the noise.
She turned and glared at the man behind her. Fan Dahu said, "Wife, you look good even when you glare."
He knew his wife was angry, but it was early in the morning, and men often have impulses, so he couldn't control himself. What could he do?
Ning Yan: ……
When the two came out of the house, even the little kids from the other three families were playing and scattering flowers in their yards.
"Grandma, I picked a lot of vegetables in the garden."
Li Xiuhua looked up and immediately roared like a lion: "Hey, you brat, you've already picked enough vegetables this morning, don't you dare disturb my vegetable garden again!"
The two identical-looking children were startled by the shout, and the cucumbers they were holding fell to the ground.
The child's mother quickly took the child back to her room, washed her hands and face, and then took her to the canteen for a meal.
At the dinner table, Li Xiuhua looked at her eldest son's beaming face and muttered under her breath, "What a good-for-nothing brat."
"Hurry up and eat, we'll be going to the fields soon. Who's cooking today?"
The fourth son's wife raised her hand, "Mom, it's my turn."
"Make two boxes of steamed buns at noon, and some with fillings too. I think the bok choy needs to be trimmed again. There's still some meat left over from yesterday, so we can use that for lunch too."
Meat can be preserved for a couple more days if it's salted in the summer, but it still can't be kept indefinitely, so it's best to eat it as soon as possible.
The fourth brother's family readily agreed. The Fan family was considered one of the better-off families in the production team. Why?
There are seven strong laborers in their family. Li Xiuhua doesn't work in the fields much, but she's not idle at home. Her three daughters-in-law take turns cooking and doing housework, while she goes up the mountain to gather pig feed and take care of the two pigs and more than twenty chickens.
In addition, Fan Dahu earned a lot of money outside, and with money and possessions, Fan Chengjia's life was among the best in the surrounding brigades.
Fan Dahu said, "Mom, I have to go out today, and I might not be back by noon."
"Where are you going now?"
"This time we have something important to discuss."
Li Xiuhua thought to herself: Every time you go out, it's always for important business.
However, she can't control what the boss does; let him do whatever he wants.
Ning Yan ate her meal quietly. The corn porridge her family had cooked that morning was thick and had a little bit of baking soda added, giving it a beautiful green color and a wonderful aroma.
The pancakes were a bright yellow color, and the side that was stuck to the pan was crunchy when you bit into them.
There was stir-fried greens, a bowl of cucumber salad, and a bowl of pickled vegetables.
It's not the busy autumn season now, so the food at home isn't very oily, but even so, it's still something that other families envy.
Many families only have porridge in the morning, no dry food.
The cook was quite skilled, and Ning Yan ate with great relish. When someone asked her if it was delicious, she showered the cook with compliments!
The smile on Lao Si's face never faded after the meal.
After the meal, Fan Dahu pulled Ning Yan back into the house.
"Honey, I'm planning to go to the farm today and see how things are going with your father. Is there anything you'd like to bring them?"
Ning Yan really didn't.
They were just brought here from home, so it's easy to imagine that they have everything they need right now.
"You don't need to give them anything, and you don't need to give them anything when you go. They don't need anything. I'll write a letter, and if you can, please pass it on to them for me." Now that I'm married, I definitely need to tell my parents.
Fan Dahu: "No problem."
Half an hour later, Fan Dahu left with the letter written by Ning Yan.
