Lu Aimin was indeed hungry, but he had been so busy that he had not eaten properly.
Hu Xuemei picked up some food for Lu Aimin. Seeing that Lu Aimin didn't look unhappy, she couldn't help but smile a little.
"Ai Min, now that the two of us are living on our own, I will definitely be on your side.
From now on, it would be better for the two of us to live our lives together, don't you think?
My monthly salary is 18 yuan, and you contribute 2 yuan, so together we make 38 yuan, which is more than enough for a month, and we can still save some of it.”
Hu Xuemei said happily that this was the first time she received salary in two years of work. It felt good not to have to pay salary to her family anymore.
She could make her own decisions, she didn't have to share a small kang with her sisters and brothers, and she didn't have to carry her bowl to find a place to eat.
Hu Xuemei paused as she suddenly thought of something, then looked up at Lu Aimin, who had already lost his temper.
"Ai Min, the gift list is with you? Did you not calculate the amount?"
Lu Aimin looked up at Hu Xuemei and said, "It's not here. Mom and Dad took it away."
Hu Xuemei couldn't help but purse her lips when she heard this. "Ai Min, this gift list is for your wedding. You two should give it to each other. When any colleague gets married, you will have to return the money to the children."
Lu Aimin hadn't thought of this, "Then let's go get it from my parents later."
Hu Xuemei handed Lu Aimin an egg and asked, "What about the gift money?"
Lu Aimin put down his chopsticks and said, "Xuemei, you went through so much trouble just to get the gift money."
"Since we two are getting married, the gift money should naturally be given to the two of us." Hu Xuemei felt that there was nothing wrong with thinking this way.
"But the gift money was given by my parents. Even if it was given by colleagues, there wouldn't be much left. Besides, no one in your family gave gifts today." Lu Aimin said to Hu Xuemei in detail.
"Even if it was taken from your parents, it belongs to both of you, so you have to take it back."
Hu Xuemei naturally didn't want to put the money she had received into other people's pockets.
"Let's talk about that later. Why didn't you bring the three-turn and one-ring gift I gave you? Didn't you say it would look good if you brought it when you got married? Why didn't you carry your two bags of clothes?"
Lu Aimin didn't eat. He sat up straight and leaned towards Hu Xuemei.
"I couldn't get the things back, so I asked for them in the morning, but my mother wouldn't let me.
Pointing at your nose and scolding you for being ungrateful, saying that you are young and you are too young, and you will be sold in a year or two. "
Hu Xuemei said this, feeling a little unhappy in her heart. Although this man was not very patient, she didn't recognize him.
She didn't know that her family was asking for money from time to time, and she thought that it was more important for her to get married and live a good life.
But she was not given any supplies to bring with her, which made her so angry that she cried for a long time.
In the new house, the two of them discussed and quarreled from time to time.
In the military compound, Miao Yuxiang sat there, looking at her man.
"Old Lu, please say something."
Captain Lu glanced at his wife and said, "Forget it, two hundred is two hundred. Ai Min is not giving up, so you can't force them to break up.
Let them live their own lives in the future, and we should worry less."
Lu Changsheng sighed and felt that he had aged a lot.
Miao Yuxiang wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Oh... my children's debt. I'm going to cook."
Lin Weiwan curled up on the kang and slept for the whole afternoon before waking up. It was already past four o'clock, so he lay there for a while before getting up.
Or maybe it's more comfortable to lie flat instead of doing something else? I have to bend over at work and I don't have that freedom.
Lin Weiwan picked some beans and stewed the vegetables and put a circle of pot-sticking cakes on the edge of the big pot.
He turned around, wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, and ate some watermelon to quench his thirst.
When Ye Jibai came back, he saw Lin Weiwan mixing cold dishes and watermelon rinds.
"Wife, we'll all eat cold melon rinds for a week."
Lin Weiwan put the mixed melon rind on the table, "Melon rind can reduce internal heat. You have a lot of internal heat, so this is a good choice for you."
Ye Jibai couldn't help but twitch his lips. What's the internal heat? Wasn't it because I was too lazy to pick vegetables and gave him the melon rind I was chewing?
"How was the banquet tonight?" Ye Jibai asked.
Lin Weiwan paused while holding the cake. "Uh... the food is good. It is a state-owned hotel after all. The dishes chosen by Captain Lu's Aunt Miao are delicious."
Ye Jibai looked at his young wife's expression and his eyes flickered. "Did you encounter something unhappy?"
Lin Weiwan shook her head, "It's okay, Aunt Miao is not happy at all."
Ye Jibai gave his young wife a piece of food and asked, "Is it the matter about Hu Xuemei that you asked Xiaopang to investigate?"
Lin Weiwan nodded, "Uncle Lu and Aunt Miao are such nice people, ah..."
Ye Jibai heard what Hu Xiaopang said, and naturally guessed what kind of daughter-in-law the Lu family would marry.
"Everyone has their own destiny, let's eat." Ye Jibai picked up two more pieces of watermelon rind for his young wife.
Lin Weiwan bit the crispy watermelon rind, uh... let's use the watermelon rind to make soup.
She got up early and went to the textile factory with Yang Cai to take the exam. Lin had registered with Yang Cai before nightfall.
There will be a group of people standing in front of the textile factory gate. Some of them are accompanied by their families, and some are accompanied by their spouses.
Lin Weiwan and Yang Cai stood together, "Xiao Wan, don't be nervous. Answer the questions carefully. I believe you can do it."
Lin Weiwan nodded, "Well, what did you say over there, huh?"
Yang Cai nodded, "Once you pass the exam, we can go to get off work together."
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Hu Xuemei pulled the two girls over.
Lin Weiwan didn't expect to meet Hu Xuemei here, "Well, come over to take the exam."
Hu Xuemei was stunned. "Exam, sister-in-law, you are going to work in the textile factory, but you."
"I was bored staying at home, so I came here for a walk. It's not bad to kill time while working and earn some money." Lin Weiwan interrupted Hu Xuemei, seeing her enthusiasm.
Those who don't know would think that she is her sister-in-law.
"Sister, who is this?"
A shorter girl who looked 70% like Hu Xuemei stood next to her and asked.
"She..." At this moment, Hu Xuemei didn't want to say that Lin Weiwan was the head of the group's wife.
"You're saying this because you're familiar with your sister's mother-in-law, Aunt Miao." Lin Weiwan didn't want her identity to be exposed in front of so many people.
After all, there are many people and it is not a safe place.
"Well, you can just call me Sister Lin when we meet next time."
"Sister-in-law, this is my little sister. If I and Hu Jinping work together in the future, please take good care of her.
Oh, yes, this is my aunt's younger sister, Zhou Hui." Hu Xuemei introduced them one by one.
Lin Weiwan smiled and nodded without saying anything. In her heart, she wanted to stay away from this family.
Yang Cai is a man who naturally looks at Lin Weiwan's response, but he stands back and focuses elsewhere.
The old man at the door started shouting to prepare for the exam. Lin Weiwan and Yang Cai nodded and walked into the textile factory.
