"Sister-in-law, you and brother will come when we get married." Hu Xuemei poured Lin Weiwan a glass of cold water and placed it on the table.

"Uh... he will come. What he said may not be fake." Lin Weiwan told the truth.

Hu Xuemei nodded, with a look of pity in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, isn't the monthly salary of the group leader very high?"

Lin Weiwan smiled and said, "If you want to know, just ask Lu Aimin. But you'd better not ask too much about the military region. Many things are kept confidential."

Lin Weiwan looked at Hu Xuemei in front of him and felt sorry for Aunt Miao.

I don’t know if the Lu family will change the daughter-in-law before the marriage.

Miao Yuxiang walked in and saw Lin Weiwan, and forced a smile.

"We've almost finished packing. Let's go back and let them sort out the rest themselves."

Lin Weiwan nodded in response, said goodbye to the two of them, and left with Miao Yuxiang pushing the cart.

Lin Weiwan noticed that Aunt Miao was obviously unhappy, but it was not appropriate for her to ask about other people's family affairs.

The two returned to the compound and went home. Lin Weiwan thought for a while and wondered what wedding gift to give.

In rural areas, the average gift is about two yuan, while in big cities, it is around 10 to 20 yuan.

My own wedding situation was special, and the Ye family's relatives and friends gave quite a few gifts. Some were afraid of not being able to make the right decision, so many of them were just gifts.

Captain Lu's home is closer to Ye Jibai's. It doesn't seem sincere to give him ten or twenty yuan.

Even if it's twenty bucks, there are other group leaders coming to give gifts, and it won't be good for Ye Jibai to be so detached.

Lin Weiwan thought about it and decided to see how many others were there and then prepare an extra gift.

After thinking it over, Lin Weiwan found a piece of red paper and wrapped two red envelopes, one for 10 yuan and one for 20 yuan. He looked at it with satisfaction and put it away.

However, after this incident, Lin Weiwan also saw the temperaments of some people in the family compound, who were the ones who would kick someone when he was down, and who were the ones who were worth making friends with.

Lin Weiwan picked two big watermelons from the yard, cut them in half, and sent half to Yang Cai's family next door.

"Xiao Wan, please sit down." Yang Cai quickly poured some boiled water for Lin Wei Wan and took out two pieces of peach cakes.

Lin Weiwan looked at Yang Cai recently, and it seemed like he had become a different person. The children were also noticeably getting fatter.

Seeing the cloth shoes Yang Cai was sewing, Lin Weiwan couldn't help but praise her. "Your craftsmanship is really good. The stitches are dense and smooth."

"It's just a good thing that you're here. I don't have to go to your house all the time. This is for you." Yang Cai took out a small cloth bag from the cupboard and handed it to Lin Weiwan.

Lin Weiwan took it, opened it and saw that it was actually a pair of cloth shoes with white flowers and blue soles, authentic thousand-layer soles.

"For you?" Lin Weiwan didn't expect that Yang Cai actually made a pair of shoes for her.

"Well, I made it for you. Don't mind that these shoes are ordinary, but they are comfortable to wear, light and not stuffy."

Yang Cai was very happy to see Lin Weiwan's happy expression. She had seen a lot of truth and lies over the years, and Lin Weiwan was sincere to her.

It was the first time that Lin Weiwan received a pair of shoes made by someone else. “Thank you. I’ll try them.”

As he said that, he sat down and changed his shoes. When he put them on, they were a perfect size.

"How did you do it? The size is so perfect." Lin Weiwan couldn't help but admire him.

Yang Cai smiled sheepishly, "This is not a difficult thing, it's just practice makes perfect. I learned this from my mother when I was little. I've done it more often as I've grown up, so I know how to make any size foot at a glance."

Lin Weiwan nodded, looking at Yang Cai's rough and knotted hands. Finally, the clouds had cleared and the moon was visible.

"Don't feel sad for her. She is living a good life now. These days, she has sent Xiao Lingzi to a nursery, and she is going to apply for a job at a textile factory.

This way the family will have more money and we can save some money.”

Yang Cai looked at Lin Weiwan's gaze and knew that the little girl felt sorry for him.

Lin Weiwan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She didn't expect Yang Cai to actually go to work and even think of saving money for herself.

"Sister Yang Cai, you are so amazing." Lin Weiwan admired Yang Cai a little.

The two of them have already called each other sisters in private, and it doesn't matter what Ye Jibai says.

"What's so amazing about this? It's just forced out. What are your plans recently?"

Yang Cai's voice became a little lower as she spoke, "I heard that the textile factory is recruiting accountants and cashiers to work in an office, but they only want high school graduates.

Most of us here have never been to school, so why don’t you give it a try? ”

Lin Weiwan thought about it and felt that this was better than going to the hospital. Although it might sound good to go to the hospital, it was not legitimate and he might even get bullied.

It's different working in an office. You can go to get off work and come home as normal, without having to work overtime or night shifts.

"Thank you, Sister Yang Cai. I'll think about it when I get home." Lin Weiwan was a little tempted. It would be quite boring to have nothing to do at home.

"Let's go. Thank you for the shoes." Lin Weiwan wrapped the shoes and put them in her arms.

Lin Weiwan also sent half a watermelon each to Liu Chunlan and Zhao Hongmei.

As for why it is only half a watermelon, it is because the two watermelons are too big.

The meat is just right, otherwise it will definitely go bad if you cut it so hot.

Thinking of Yang Cai's words, Lin Weiwan wanted to give it a try.

In the evening, I made boiled noodles, added salt, and made cold dishes with watermelon rinds.

Ye Jibai just came home and saw the cold watermelon rind. "I don't eat this."

"Taste it." Lin Weiwan picked up a piece and gave it to Ye Jibai.

After opening his mouth and taking a bite, Ye Jibai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was surprisingly good.

"What do you think of the textile factory?" Lin Weiwan asked as he looked at Ye Jibai eating noodles in big mouthfuls.

Ye Jibai looked up at his wife and said, "Are you in a bad mood? You don't have enough money."

Lin Weiwan shook her head, "No, I just thought it would be nice to find something to do, otherwise this life would be quite boring."

Ye Jibai nodded. It was true. If he had a child or something to do, it would be really boring to stay here with nothing to see.

"You go, be careful. Are you a textile worker? It's not easy."

Ye Jibai didn't want to splash cool water on Lin Weiwan, but this textile job was not easy.

Besides, the weather in Yun City is hot all year round. I wonder if my wife can stand it.

"You're not going to be a textile worker. I heard that the textile factory is recruiting accountants to work in an office. It shouldn't be too tiring." Lin Weiwan said.

"That's right. If you want to go, just give it a try. If you can't do it, just come back. If you get bored, you can take a bus back to Beijing and spend some time relaxing." Ye Jibai thought to Lin Weiwan.

"Oh, by the way, Captain Lu's son Lu Aimin is getting married, and I have prepared two red envelopes, one of ten yuan and one of twenty yuan. When the time comes, we will see how much the other captains give, and then we will give as well, so it won't be too abrupt.

Then I want to prepare a gift for you, what do you think?
