Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Haven’t you seen her household registration book? …
Zhao Ruyan's eyes were full of gossip, and she said excitedly: "The bachelor son of my father-in-law's brother who has always had a hard time finding a wife is going to have a wife!"
As soon as she said this, even Ye Jing, who was in another corner of the main room, teaching her daughter to do her winter vacation homework and didn't want to come over to help pick up the goods, came over, pretended to want to help, and pricked up her ears to listen.
Zhao Ruyue thought for a while before she remembered who her elder sister was talking about: "The neighbor who lives a few doors down from my house on the right side of the street?"
"Who else could it be except him?" Zhao Ruyan said with disdain, "He is lazy and poor all day long. I heard from your eldest brother-in-law that this is hereditary. His cousin's father is the same!
Haven’t you seen that, except for his family, all the families on the whole street built brick-walled and tiled houses in the generation of our parents. Now in our generation, the wealthy families are building two- or three-story houses to prepare for their children to get married in the future.
Only his house is still a mud-walled and tiled house. The main room in their house is, let me say, not even as good as the toilet in your backyard! ”
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help laughing out loud: "You know what, the toilet in our backyard was built when Xiaoqiu asked his father to fill up the dry toilet when we were digging the biogas tank. He rebuilt a toilet with bricks and tiles that doesn't leak rain. He also paved the floor with cement and scraped the walls. The floor is smoother than the one in the main room."
Ning Shaoming couldn't help laughing when he thought of this: "At that time, Xiaoqiu said that if the toilet was not built better, he would not poop in the future..."
"Dad!" Ning Shiqiu rushed over and covered his father's mouth, "Don't say it!"
Although Ning Shaoming didn't finish his words, everyone understood them and burst into laughter. For a moment, the main room was filled with everyone's joyful laughter.
Until Wang Haiyan asked Zhao Ruyan in confusion: "Which street in town did your husband's cousin talk about? I remember that a woman from our village married a woman from the street in the early years. I introduced several girls from my mother's village to him in the early years, but he despised them because they were country people from the village and was not willing to marry them. This time, he really married someone from the town?"
Wang Haiyan really wanted to ask who in the town was so blind as to let their daughter marry a family that couldn’t even build a brick house.
But considering that the man was from Zhao Ruyan's in-laws' family, she didn't say such harsh words.
After Wang Haiyan found out that the man looked down on the girls in their village, she no longer associated with the man's family, even though they lived on the same street and were only a few doors apart.
It only takes half an hour to walk from her mother's village to the town. How big of a difference can there be between them?
Isn't the town also a countryside? We are all country people. Why do we have to divide people into different classes? Who is more noble than who?
"He's not from this town. He's already forty years old, looks old and ugly, and his family is very poor. People in this town know everything about him. Who would be willing to marry their daughter to him? People who are already married for the third time don't even like him!" Zhao Ruyan was very disdainful of her husband's cousin.
Then, she revealed the news that shocked everyone: "He married a stupid girl who lives far away from here! I heard she is only in her twenties. If she wasn't mentally ill, she wouldn't have married him!"
“!!!!!!” Everyone else in the main room was so shocked that they were speechless.
After a long while, someone said weakly: "How did you end up marrying a mentally ill woman?" He used to look down on girls from the village!
Zhao Ruyue then remembered that in her previous life, the cousin of her eldest brother-in-law had indeed married a silly girl with a mental disorder.
But the girl died of illness a few years after giving birth to her daughter. She died early and no one reminded Zhao Ruyue, so she really couldn't remember that there was such a person on the street.
The girl was good-looking, and most importantly, her skin was very fair and delicate, so she didn't look like a country girl.
But her family said that their home was also in a village in the mountains, far away from the town.
In her previous life, Zhao Ruyue had seen that poor girl washing clothes in a dirty pond, with her panties stained with menstrual blood, and sometimes she would wash her body there.
She then realized that the man didn't even give her a few sanitary napkins, let alone menstrual belts.
She quietly went home and got her a pack of sanitary napkins, and told her elder sister about it.
Later, I heard from my eldest sister that my brother-in-law's cousin's brother's wife would buy her sanitary napkins in the future. Zhao Ruyue was busy raising children and had no time to take care of herself, so she no longer paid attention to her.
The next time I heard the news, it was about her death. She was said to have died of illness.
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but ask, "Are the girl's family members really her relatives?"
"That's for sure," Zhao Ruyan said confidently, "I got the news before it got dark, and I took Tianbao to see her. The girl looks a lot like her mother."
"Have you not seen her household registration book?"
Zhao Ruyan shook her head: "No."
Zhao Ruyue's heart skipped a beat: "How can I get the certificate without a household registration book? Aren't you afraid of being scammed?"
"When we get married in the countryside, we just have to hold a banquet. When we have a child and register the child, we can give some money and add her to the household registration." Zhao Ruyan is used to this.
She is ten years older than Zhao Ruyue. When many of her peers got married, most of them held the wedding banquet first and then got the marriage certificate later.
Even now, there are many young people who are not yet of marriageable age and do the same.
Zhao Ruyan also felt that her third sister watched too many movies when she was in love and was too particular. She insisted on waiting until she was 20 years old, the legal age for marriage, and could get a marriage certificate before holding the wedding.
What's the sense of ceremony? In Zhao Ruyan's opinion, it's just a lot of trouble. Getting married late will delay having children!
In other words, her third sister was luckier. She first had a son and then a daughter. All at once, the word "good" was complete, with both a son and a daughter, and she didn't have to suffer so much.
Unlike me, I was in my thirties or almost forty when I had a son.
Zhao Ruyue wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Finally, he could only sigh helplessly and said, "What a sin."
When men commit sins, parents also commit sins.
But the police can't do anything about this kind of thing. What else can outsiders do except sigh?
Zhao Ruyan didn't know what she was sad about, and hurriedly said, "Tianbao fell asleep, so I hurried over to come here. I have to hurry back. By the way, Xiaoyue, you and Shaoming will be at home for the next three days, right?"
Zhao Ruyue said: "Not necessarily. It depends on the situation. This is our first time selling goods, so it's hard to estimate whether it will sell quickly or slowly."
In fact, she estimated that if the sales speed remained the same as this morning, tomorrow... at most the day after tomorrow, almost all the goods could be sold out.
It was almost New Year's Eve when the sale was finished. Before she and Ning Shaoming came back, they had planned to take their two children to the county town while they had some free time before the New Year and let them have fun to their heart's content.
Zhao Ruyue didn't plan to tell her elder sister about this, otherwise she would have to say that the couple took the children out to play because they had a lot of money to burn.
"There will be a wedding tomorrow, and as my cousin from the same clan, I have to go and help. I was thinking that since your home is close to his, I could let Xiaomei and Xiaoju stay with Tianbao, and it would be convenient for me to come over to look after the child when I have time. But if you are too busy selling goods to take care of it, forget it."
Deng Ximei secretly glared at her eldest daughter. How could she not know what her eldest daughter was thinking?
It's just that I think my sister and brother-in-law just came back from other places and bought so many good things for my parents' family, my in-laws and the two children, so there must be a lot of delicious food at home.
Her three children came to her sister's place. As an aunt, her sister would definitely not treat her nephews and nieces badly. Do they want to take the opportunity to get some good things?
"My place is not far away, and I happen to be free. Ask Xiaomei and Xiaoju to bring Tianbao to my place. I will help take care of him for a few days."
Zhao Ruyan looked embarrassed: "Mom, aren't you going to the market with Dad to sell vegetables?"
"I'll let Siyun go with your dad, and Xiaomei and Xiaoju can go to my place and help pick vegetables," Deng Ximei looked at the sisters Zhou Xiaoju and Zhou Xiaomei, "I'll take my brother to grandma's house to help tomorrow. Grandma will ask grandpa to buy you some oil-fried buns."
Zhou Xiaoju and Zhou Xiaomei nodded happily. It was a rare opportunity for them to eat oil-fried steamed buns!
"You guys are so embarrassed to ask for things after working for your own grandmother? Mom, don't spoil them," Zhao Ruyan said disapprovingly, "A fried bun costs 2.5 yuan. With the money for two, you can have a bowl of rice noodles with meat on the street."
Seeing her two granddaughters lowering their heads and picking their fingers in shame, Deng Ximei became impatient with her daughters: "Stop interfering. I can spend my money on whoever I want. If the children work for me, I will be happy to buy them things! Go home and take care of your son. It's annoying enough to stay here!"
"Third sister, look at mom. She's getting more and more unreasonable as she gets older." Zhao Ruyan couldn't do anything with her mother, so she had to go to her third sister for approval.
Zhao Ruyue actually felt that her mother was right, but she didn't want to add fuel to the fire, so she could only try to mediate and persuade her elder sister, who was in the middle of a conversation, to go home.
Many people came to help sort the goods, and all the goods were sorted before nine o'clock.
Zhao Ruyue took out a can of milk powder and a bowl, boiled water and made a bowl for each person: "You've worked for so long, and you've digested all your dinner. Eat something before going back."
This milk powder was given to her by her landlord and the Zhou family when they came to visit her during her confinement period.
She finished one can and brought back the rest. This milk powder is suitable for all age groups, both the elderly and children can drink it.
Deng Ximei originally wanted to say that she didn't want to drink it, and asked her to leave such good stuff for Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia, but as Zhao Ruyue's biological mother, she didn't drink it, so others would feel embarrassed to drink it.
She looked at the skinny Xiaomei and Xiaoju again, and felt so distressed that she had to swallow her words.
Deng Ximei took the bowl and a few biscuits from her daughter and followed her instructions to soak the biscuits in milk before eating them. "They taste much better than eating them dry, and they are easier to chew."
Zhao Ruyue was very happy to see that she was satisfied.
Her mother had been busy taking care of her children all her life, and was worried about her sisters before her death. She had never enjoyed much happiness, and she also hoped that her mother could taste more delicious food.
There was half a can left, so Zhao Ruyue forced it into her mouth and asked her to take it away: "My dad hasn't tasted it yet, you can take it back and let him try it too. It's good for the elderly and can replenish calcium."
Deng Ximei was determined not to accept it at first, but it was only after Zhao Ruyue showed her that she had several more cans that she accepted it.
Zhao Ruyue knew that after bringing the milk powder back home, the old couple would definitely not eat it alone.
But she didn't mind, it was nice enough for some of it to go into their mouths.
After eating, Ning Shaoming sent them home safely one by one.
When I got home, I saw my daughter acting like a spoiled brat.
After taking a shower, Ning Shixia stayed in her parents' room and didn't want to leave.
His eyes were tightly closed, and his eyeballs were rolling around under his eyelids. It was obvious that he was pretending to sleep.
Ning Shiqiu also stood at the door, looking back every few steps, and it took him a long time to move even one meter away.
