Chapter 11 There should be no barriers between husband and wife.

He didn't need much money in the army, and he sent all his monthly salary back home. He only saved his bonuses. In theory, his family should have lived well.

But her two younger brothers and one younger sister were all in school, and her mother was the only one who earned enough work points. But that was because she was a barefoot doctor, so the food was not enough and she had to spend money every year to buy food from the brigade.

Her mother was a very frugal person. As for the several people in the family, it was enough for them not to be hungry. She could not take care of nutrition, even if she was a doctor.

So every time Xiao Yiyan came back, she would remind her mother not to be reluctant to eat it.

"I know. Don't worry. When my daughter-in-law comes home, I will definitely give her a good meal."

"I'll go to propose marriage at noon. The day after tomorrow is a good day for engagement. Will you have time to prepare your things?"

"Come with me and I'll give you the money you sent back earlier."

Lin Lan said this and walked towards the house.

"Mom, I don't want the money you sent me before. I will give all my future wages to Wanwan."

Xiao Yuyan said solemnly.

"What nonsense! That's the money for you to marry a wife. If you don't want it, what can you use to marry her home?"

Lin Lan glared at her son. How could he marry a city girl with the little money he had?

Seeing that her eldest son didn't move, Lin Lan walked back a few steps to pull him.

"Let's go, let's discuss how much the betrothal gift should be."

After saying this, Xiao Yiyan moved.

It does need to be discussed. The salary and savings after marriage will definitely be handed over, but the betrothal gift still needs to be taken out separately.

The two came to Lin Lan's room and saw her taking out a thin iron box from under the bed.

"This passbook contains the wages you sent back over the past 10 years, a total of 3,762 yuan. Mom has raised these children all these years with your dad's pension, plus my work points and the money from selling medicine. When they grow up, they will also help the family earn work points, so it's enough for us to use, so all the money is here without any use."

"Go and take out 1,000 yuan. We'll give 999 yuan to Ye Yatou as a betrothal gift, and the rest will be given to her in three rounds. Prepare the ticket and give it to her along with the money and the ticket."

"You should take her with you to join the army. You can arrange for her to live in your home. Mom hopes you can take her with you. You two can't be separated for too long. Besides, the girl looks like a caring person. Mom can rest assured knowing that you have someone to take care of you."

Xiao Yiyan looked at the passbook with a frown on his face.

He didn't know what to say for a moment. As the eldest son, he should have supported the family after his father passed away. He just didn't expect that his mother didn't spend a penny of his money.

But he also understood his mother's temper. It was impossible for him to refuse the passbook.

"Mom, the betrothal money will be paid by our family, and I will take care of the rest of the household expenses myself."

"I didn't give you my bonuses these years. In fact, they are higher than my salary. You can keep the rest of the money for yourself."

"If you don't want it, then you are preparing to separate me and Wanwan!"

Xiao Yiyan said this deliberately.

"You kids, why would your mother separate you?"

"The new house is ready!"

"Thanks to your father, we are still able to live in this big tiled house with green bricks."

The Xiao family was originally an outsider family. They bought a house from a landlord in the village, which added some income to the village. So when they moved in, the villagers didn't say anything.

The main house, facing north and south, has three rooms. The middle one is the living room. Lin Lan and Xiao Nuannuan live in the east side now. The house is big enough, and Xiao Hehe also lived there before she got married.

The west side used to be a room for the three brothers, but Lin Lan had already driven the two brothers to the side room in the east. There were two side rooms, one was Lin Lan's pharmacy and clinic, and the other was just right for the two brothers to live in.

The side room on the west side is the kitchen and bathroom.

The wedding room that was reserved for Xiao Yuyanteng was very spacious, and it would be enough to separate it into two small rooms.

"Well, thanks to Dad!"

Xiao Yiyan mentioned that Xiao's father was still in a low mood.

"Mom, let's make a deal. I'll pay for the betrothal gifts, and you can keep the rest. The three of them are still growing up, and Wanwan won't be able to go back to the army with me in the near future. She will stay at home for another two or three months, so you'll have to take care of her more."

Xiao Yiyan had not yet had time to tell his family about his transfer.

"Okay, got it. I'll keep it. But even if I keep it, you have to tell Miss Ye about it. There shouldn't be any barriers between husband and wife."

Even mother and child don’t understand each other.

She would spend most of the remaining money on her daughter-in-law.

They are her own children, so how could she not feel sorry for them? It is because of this feeling that she cannot spend the money her son has worked so hard to earn.

As long as she had a bite to eat, she would not touch it.

She is the mother, and even if the father is gone, the responsibility of raising the child cannot fall on the eldest son.

Besides, haven’t we survived all these years?

She felt that the children she raised, who had access to education and enough food to eat, were already better off than many other families.

"Okay, Mom, I'll tell Wanwan. I'll prepare all the things needed for the proposal. I'll report back in a few days, and then I'll take Wanwan to the county town to buy some things for the wedding, and buy some that she likes."

Xiao Yiyan talked about his plans.

"Okay, you have a plan, as long as you know the plan, don't worry, Mom."

"I'm going to cook dinner right now. Come with me to the Youth League Center later. Mom has an appointment with your Aunt Hongxia."

Lin Lan said this and walked out happily.

Xiao Yiyan had no objection, he really missed the little girl.

In the morning, in addition to making phone calls, he also investigated those people. They turned out to be some gangsters in the town. Of course, one of them was also from Xiangyang Village, and just as he guessed, they were indeed bribed and did things for money.

The person who bought it was a girl named Sun Qianqian.

He had already had those people sign and seal their names as evidence.

No matter how the little girl wants to deal with it later, he will support her.

But no matter what she did, in the end these people still couldn't escape the fate of being exiled to the farm.

And as for Sun Qianqian, he didn't know what her relationship with Ye Suiwan was, and what kind of punishment she should receive.

So he had to explain the situation to Ye Suiwan first.

Educated youth point.

Ye Suiwan had just stood up to prepare the stuffing when he sneezed.

"Sui Wan, are you okay? Why don't you go take a rest?"

Miao Yan said with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Someone must be missing her.

Thinking that it might be Xiao Yiyan, she smiled.

"I'll go mix the filling, how about you go and knead the dough?"

“I’ll wrap it up soon!”

Ye Suiwan had to send those people away, otherwise how could he use the seasoning in the space.

"Okay, no problem, I'll go right away."

Miao Yan had already prepared the chopped celery and onion ginger water that Ye Suiwan needed. Now it was time to knead the dough and wake up.

So she gave the kitchen to Ye Suiwan and took the basin and mixed noodles to the dining table in the yard.
