Chapter 296
I went to the farm first and found that it was not lost. How could I, such a grown-up and not stupid, lose it?
But the person did not come.
Chen Qingyi kept rubbing her chin with the base of her right hand. Could this man have gone directly to the farm?
Is this stupid?
A woman, alone, in an unfamiliar place.
When Old Mrs. Chen heard that someone might have gone to the farm first, she became furious.
"Why didn't you come first or tell me in advance? I have already made corn porridge for her.
I'll call your dad right away. He's a grown man, but he acts so irrationally."
"Luckily, your Third Uncle wanted to go pick it up, but I stopped him. It's better that he didn't go.
If I go, it will be a waste of effort!"
"You go and get the milk. I'll go watch the fun at the Qian family." It seems that God is still awesome.
"What's so exciting?" Old Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up.
"What's the matter? Didn't my sister Shengnan tell you last night? This is what happened..." Chen Qingyi pulled Old Lady Chen's arm.
"Grandma, let's go to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative together?"
You can make a phone call anytime, but if you miss the excitement, you won’t be able to see it.
"OK."
Old Mrs. Chen went into the house to change her clothes, grabbed two washed cucumbers, and filled a bag of fried pine nuts.
The two of them walked very fast, and when they arrived, the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative was already full of people.
Most of them are elderly ladies who don’t have to work and are chatting here.
Most of them were doing work with their hands, mending clothes, socks, etc., or holding children.
"Hey, Aunt Yun, why aren't you at work today?"
Old Mrs. Chen skillfully found a place to sit down, and when she looked up, she saw the person mixed in the crowd.
Aunt Yun sighed, "I don't know if it's because I ate something bad, I have diarrhea.
I had no strength left in my body and couldn't even lift the hoe.
I just asked the team leader for half a day off to rest. Today is a nice day, so I'll go out and bask in the sun."
Chen Qingyi's mouth twitched. Why not dry them in your own yard?
It was convenient for him to go to the toilet. He must have guessed that someone from the Gu family would come today and wanted to watch the fun.
Who knows, maybe he's here to wait for Yang Shuting.
Old Mrs. Chen grinned, glanced at her, and gave Aunt Yun a look that said, "I understand."
The two of them put their heads together.
Aunt Yun's eyes grew brighter as she muttered to herself. She stood up and waved her hand.
"What can we see here? Let's go to Accountant Qian's neighbor's house!"
"Come on, I'll take you and Xiaoyi with me."
Chen Qingyi smiled and followed the pace. Soon the three of them arrived at Accountant Qian's neighbor's house to the east.
Accountant Qian's house is closer to his neighbor to the east.
"Aunt Yun, there's no one here, can we just come in?"
"That's nothing. None of our houses have locked doors, and we didn't go in. Go get two benches, and I'll get the ladder.
I guess they'll be here soon.
Did you see that? That old woman Feng Cuihua actually killed a chicken. Tsk tsk, she is probably afraid that her daughter will suffer after getting married.
How could such a smart couple raise such a tiger thing? "
As one of the three giants of gossip in the pigpen, Aunt Yun is quite capable.
We quickly found a perfect spot to eat melons, behind a pile of firewood. Not only did it have a good view, it was also very secluded.
Old Mrs. Chen took out some pine nuts from her pocket and stuffed them into the two of them, chewing them with a smacking sound, which resonated sweetly.
Although Mrs. Chen is over 60 years old, she has hardly lost any teeth.
About ten minutes later, the Gu family arrived.
Father Gu, Mother Gu and sister-in-law Gu.
Aunt Yun sighed and shook her head. "Oh no! I think something is going to go wrong today."
Old Mrs. Chen curled her lips and said, "Look at that sister-in-law, she doesn't seem like a good person."
Chen Qingyi blinked, indicating that she was still young and didn't notice it.
Feng Cuihua, who came out to greet them, felt the same way. Her steps were a little stiff, and she pulled the corners of her mouth into a forced smile.
"My in-laws are here. Come in and sit down. It's hot. Come in and have some tea."
When marrying a girl, one is usually a little more polite.
But when it came to their family's turn, they were short of breath. Accountant Qian and his wife almost didn't sleep the whole night.
"Aunt, uncle, sister-in-law." Qian Xiaolan came out shyly and greeted everyone one by one.
She dressed up specially today, wearing a red floral shirt and black pants.
Judging from her appearance, she is prettier than Chunju, but she is just a poor peasant who makes a living by digging in the soil.
A person who eats commercial grain in the commune, has a job, and has a relative who is the principal of the commune primary school.
As long as people are not stupid, they know how to choose.
Gu Xinhua had previously approached Chunju for this relationship and wanted to wait until after they got married.
If you can try harder, you can adjust yourself back.
People never reflect on themselves. After one night, the Gu family forgot that it was Gu Xinhua who was shameless and two-timing.
Instead, he thought Qian Xiaolan was shameless, seductive, and couldn't keep her belt.
It was a happy occasion, but it was handled in a disgusting way.
Mrs. Gu stepped forward and grasped Qian Xiaolan's hand, smiling kindly and saying:
"We are a family from now on, and I will definitely treat our Xiaolan as my own sister.
You don't have to worry about housework. Although my mother is in poor health, she can still help with light work.
I can usually lend a hand if I'm not tired after get off work.
Aunt, you can rest assured and leave Xiaolan to my family. Xinhua also told me this when he came.
He will definitely be devoted to Xiaolan in the future.
I will never bully Xiaolan."
Qian Xiaolan lowered her head and said nothing, her face flushed with shame, but she felt a little touched in her heart.
Brother Xinhua still has her in his heart.
Feng Cuihua is smart and not easy to fool. What does it mean to not have to worry about housework?
What’s the matter? Why does he want to leave all the family’s laundry and cooking to his daughter alone?
That’s right, her daughter doesn’t have a job and can’t eat for free at home, so she has to do housework all the time!
After hearing the hidden meaning, the smile on his face became much smaller.
"When I went there yesterday, I saw that your house wasn't very big. I'm afraid they won't be able to accommodate them after they get married.
We simply don’t want the betrothal money.
Just use this money to build a small house in the brigade, so it will be convenient for Xinhua to commute to work in the future.
No need to get up so early anymore.
Especially in the winter, you don’t have to suffer the pain of riding a bike, and you don’t have to spend money on vegetables in the brigade.
Not only can Xiaolan save the money she earns, but she can also earn work points.
You can also live more comfortably."
Mrs. Gu was very tempted. It would be a good idea to move to the village. Then the house would be hers from now on!
It's easy to move out, but it's impossible to move back. He glanced at Gu's father and mother carefully.
Gu's father thought it was a good idea as it would allow Gu Xinhua to stay out of the spotlight.
The neighbors were gossiping yesterday afternoon.
However, Gu's mother disagreed, thinking that her son had become a son-in-law and that raising a son was a way to prepare for old age.
My son ran away to his mother-in-law's house. Who will take care of him in his old age?
"My dear relatives, it's not that we don't agree, but, hey, there's something I'm embarrassed about.
Yesterday we agreed to give a betrothal gift of 48 yuan."
"But you also know that Xinhua was beaten."
"I spent a lot of money on medical treatment, but I didn't find that idiot. I paid for it all myself.
Even though we live in a commune, our conditions are not much better than yours!"
“Originally, I agreed yesterday to borrow some from my relatives.
But these days, no one is rich, the money for the watch has not been saved up yet, and watch tickets are even harder to find.
So, can the betrothal gift be a little less?"
In Gu's mother's mind, how could the Qian family, a peasant family, give the extra money from building a house to Qian Xiaolan, a daughter who married out?
Even if you don’t have money, you still have to live in a commune.
Then she will be relieved.
The eavesdropping trio watched with great interest, smacking their lips in amazement, it was truly an extreme stretch.
It all depends on who has better skills and who can hold on steady.
At the same time, Yang Shuting was tired like a dog. After asking around for a long time, she finally arrived at the farm.
I secretly stuffed a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and half a pound of brown sugar into my pocket for five yuan.
When she saw Zhao Jiarou, who was covered in dust, as thin as a stick, with messy hair, carrying manure, she burst into tears.
"Xiao Rou..."
