At noon, the old lady delivered meals to the garden. At this time, people would bring their meals and eat at the garden to save time walking.
The old lady steamed big buns, and the dishes were stewed goose with potatoes, garlic, eggplant and pickles. At this time, you have to eat some fat, greasy food. This autumn, you will be skinned. You can't bear it if you are not fat. It's also the year when we have the conditions. People with worse conditions still bring cornmeal cakes and pickles. After an autumn, you are so thin that you look unrecognizable.
The whole family gathered together, sitting on corn stalks, and it was time to eat. At this time, no matter how clean or dirty the food was, what mattered was to have enough food.
While eating, Liu Cuihua said to Wu Zhiqiu, "After the autumn harvest, we will arrange a wedding for Xingyuan."
The two children have been together for about three months and are quite compatible in every way. The two families met and discussed it some time ago and decided not to get engaged but to get married right after the autumn harvest.
"How much is the bride price? If you don't have enough, I have some," Wu Zhiqiu said quickly.
When talking about this, Liu Cuihua's eyes were filled with laughter. "My family's Xingyuan got a wife, and she asked for a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. The money from selling mushrooms at home is enough for her to earn."
"You only want two hundred? That's quite a small amount." Wu Zhiqiu was surprised. Nowadays, the price is usually around five hundred.
"Of course not. In our village, two hundred yuan is not a lot, and the bride also brings a dowry of three hundred yuan and a ring." Liu Cuihua was very proud. She married a city girl and asked for so little.
Wu Zhiqiu...she didn't mean to say that this girl couldn't get married?
It's not that she looked down on Xingyuan. He was a temporary worker and his family lived in the countryside with only one house. His children were little, honest, capable and simple. But in the eyes of city people, his conditions were still much worse.
Liu Cuihua was happy, and Wu Zhiqiu didn't say anything to spoil her mood. He just listened to Liu Cuihua praising her future in-laws for being reasonable and getting along well with them.
After dinner, everyone went to work immediately.
Chunni came close to Wu Zhiqiu and said, "Mom, do you think Xingyuan's girlfriend is stupid and can't get married?"
"I heard that the girl has three daughters. Maybe she is counting on her son-in-law to take care of her in her old age, so she doesn't want so much." Wu Zhiqiu guessed.
Chunni curled her lips and said, "It's not easy to provide for your parents in their old age. Whoever your parents give the job to will provide for your old age. Why do you have to lower your status like this?"
With two stable jobs, who wouldn't want them among the three girls? They don't have to worry about retirement at all.
Speaking of work, Wu Zhiqiu asked Chunni, "It's almost the end of the year, will you still take my job?"
Chunni laughed dryly. After the Chinese New Year, she had a conflict with Fengchun over this job. Now she really didn't want it anymore.
"Mom, I can't go. There's too much work at home. Xingye can't handle it all by himself. After the autumn harvest, we have to build the greenhouse, which will be even busier."
"If you don't want to go, forget it. I'll just retire normally." Wu Zhiqiu also guessed that the old couple now earns a lot of money a month and is very busy, so they can't take care of her class at all.
"Mom, our family has changed so much this year. I never dreamed that I don't even want to do a formal job. In the past, we were getting poorer and poorer. This year, we were looking forward to getting rich in the next year, but we wore patched pants in the next year. Now our life is so good. Thank you, Mom." Chunni sighed that their life was all thanks to the strong support of her mother-in-law.
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. You two are capable. If it were the third child..." Chunni and the eldest son are capable and willing to learn. If it were the third child, that lazy fellow, no amount of support would be of any use.
Wu Zhiqiu felt so angry when he saw his youngest son braiding corn silk.
Chunni also laughed, "Mom, everyone has his own destiny. If my eldest son and I were to start a business, we would definitely not be able to do it as well as the third son. The third son is destined to be rich and prosperous, and he doesn't need to endure this hardship."
Wu Zhiqiu... he is so rich, he has the fate of a turtle!
Chunni...He Meina is the boy who brings wealth.
