The next morning, Ling Ju got up very early.
It was just six o'clock in the morning, and Ling Dawei and Tian Mei had not yet gotten up.
Ling Ju took out the envelope he had prepared before returning and placed it on the table, then quickly put on his coat.
The room was really cold in the morning. It was okay when she was in bed next to Song Qi, as his body heat could transfer heat to her. But it was very cold when she got out of bed. Moreover, her room had a bed, and the original owner didn't like sleeping on a kang because she was fat.
Ling Ju couldn't understand this. Sleeping on a kang was so comfortable and warm. It was not comfortable to sleep on a cold bed.
While putting on clothes, Song Qi also got up from the bed. Looking at the girl who was trying hard to put on clothes, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Wife, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ling Ju poured some water and sat next to Song Qi, "I can't sleep. By the way, I want to tell you something. I plan to leave 200 yuan for my parents.
You know, I spent a lot of money on my illness when I was little, and my brother also spent a lot of his military allowance on my schooling. Now that I can earn money, I want to contribute to my family. The factory also gave me a bonus at the end of the year.
Song Qi expressed his complete understanding. In fact, he also had plans, but he just didn't say it yet.
The two had just finished washing their faces and brushing their teeth when the others got up. Ling Ju made breakfast while they washed up: millet porridge, mixed pickles, and boiled milk. A large bottle of milk was enough for the whole family. While boiling the milk, she noticed the two cow hooves and planned to prepare them after breakfast and eat them at noon.
Seeing how diligent Ling Ju was, Ling Dawei sighed in his heart. He and his wife had talked a lot in private over the past two nights. The changes in their little daughter surprised them, but they were all positive changes, and they were happy for their daughter.
Moreover, in their opinion, these changes were 100% related to Song Qi. The more they looked at Song Qi, the more he attracted them. This son-in-law was indeed marrying up.
After breakfast, Ling Yong took the initiative to deal with the cow's hooves. He had never eaten this thing before, but Ling Ju told him how to deal with it, so he just obeyed.
He used fire to remove the hair from the ox's hoof, then scrubbed it with steel wool before sawing it into small pieces. The whole process left Ling Yong sweating profusely. He didn't want to deal with this again. It was too much work.
Boil water in a pot, put the cow's hooves into the pot and add spices, simmer over low heat. Ling Ju and Song Xin sit by the stove, warming themselves by the fire and chatting in private.
The liberated man can finally smoke a cigarette.
Song Qi and Ling Yong stood by the window outside the kitchen, smoking fiercely.
Men only have these few hobbies: smoking, drinking and being lustful.
"Song Qi, how long has it been since I last beat you?"
Ling Yong is okay. He smokes whenever he wants, but he doesn't smoke when Ling Ju is around.
But Song Qi was different. Ever since he and Ling Ju started having sex, he almost avoided smoking when he thought about having children. Later, because his young wife had pregnancy sickness, he stopped smoking completely. Now he is fine.
In a light tone, he said, "It's okay, I don't really miss it, I'll just quit it in the future."
After finishing a cigarette, there was a knock on the door. "Who's here so early?"
Ling Yong went to open the door, and when he opened the door, he found that it was Zhang Qi.
The skinny young man was wearing ragged clothes, but he was holding two pheasants in his hands. He stammered, "Brother Ling, here are some for you to eat."
After stuffing the pheasant into Ling Yong's hand, Zhang Qi ran away. Ling Yong only saw his big slingshot out of the corner of his eye. This kid, he wouldn't really use a slingshot to shoot pheasants!
Song Qi was also stunned when he walked in with the pheasant in his hand. "What is this?"
"That fool gave it to me. I think he shot it with a slingshot. He stuffed it into my hand and ran away."
Ling Ju heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. She was also stunned when she saw the two pheasants. Ling Yong explained it again.
"Zhang Qi probably ate at our house last night and was feeling down. He must have left before dawn when we brought him here this morning. Brother, bring him a bowl of stewed ox trotters after you finish cooking them."
As soon as Ling Dawei came out, he saw the pheasant in Ling Yong's hand, and then Ling Yong explained it again to his parents.
Letting Ling Yong and Song Xin watch the stove, Ling Ju pulled Song Qi and called Ling Dawei and his wife into the room.
Tian Mei didn't know what Ling Ju was going to do, but seeing that the girl looked serious, she pulled Ling Dawei to sit down and asked, "Daughter, do you have something to say?"
Ling Ju took out the envelope from her trouser pocket, her face slightly red. "Mom, this is for you and Dad."
Tian Mei opened the envelope and saw that there were 10 brand new 20-yuan bills. She was about to put them back, but Ling Ju quickly stopped her.
"Mom! This is all the money I earned! After all these years, it's my turn to contribute to the family. Don't refuse me!"
"Girl, this is too much! You should keep some money in your hand, and you're pregnant!"
Ling Ju shook her head. "Don't worry, Mom. I have my own salary now, and I also have Song Qi's allowance. Song Qi's mother and brother also gave me a lot of money. I can't spend it all now."
The couple was about to speak when Song Qi unexpectedly took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the old couple. The envelope was obviously much thicker than Ling Ju's.
Ling Ju was also surprised, "Song Qi, what are you doing?"
"Mom and Dad, this is the betrothal money!"
The three of them then understood that Song Qi and Ling Ju didn't prepare anything for their marriage, they just got a marriage certificate, so the money should indeed be given, but it was too much!
"Son-in-law, this is too much!"
Ling Dawei and Tian Mei looked at each other. They didn't know where Song Qi got so much money, but two or three hundred yuan was normal for a betrothal gift, and the thickness was probably about one thousand yuan.
Song Qi was very serious and earnest. "Mom and Dad, this isn't much, and Ling Yong isn't married yet. I know he's given a lot to Orange, and I hope to contribute to our family."
