Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Isn’t there something wrong with your brain? how……
Ning Shaoming quickly put those complicated feelings behind him and entertained the guests well.
There were more than ten pounds of braised meat in this meal, so everyone could eat as much as they wanted. Except for Ning Shaode who was still brooding over that sentence, everyone else enjoyed the meal very much.
The meal lasted until around seven in the evening. At the implicit urging of her mother-in-law, Zhao Ruyue took her two children out to digest the food.
By the way, I strolled over to my mother's house and told her family about the division of the family property.
When her parents first heard that they were allocated an empty residential plot, they were indeed not very happy.
But they are not the kind of old people who cannot be reasoned with.
Zhao Ruyue carefully told the two old men about her and Ning Shaoming's plan, and they gradually accepted it after listening.
But I was still a little dissatisfied that they only got more than 3,000 yuan.
"It's less than 4,000 yuan, what can you do with it? The small yard separated from your old house is worth at least 7,000 yuan. If you sell it slowly, it can be sold for more than 10,000 yuan. But no one wants to buy it! The old couple must have hidden some money and haven't taken it out yet!"
Zhao Ruyue advised: "After all, we want to separate as soon as possible, so we have to suffer a little loss. Otherwise, if we continue to live together, it will not be good for anyone, especially the two children. I don't want to be separated from them."
Deng Ximei said, "Wouldn't it be more suitable to do business in the old house?"
Zhao Ruyue didn't feel comfortable telling her about future developments there.
He just said, "I suspect my parents-in-law never told her second brother about what they promised you. Shaoming said that when his father divided the houses, he got an empty homestead, and the eldest and second brothers were not surprised at all, and looked as if it was natural to divide it this way.
If we really want that small courtyard, the division of the property might not be so smooth. Shaoming and I don't want to argue with them about this matter. After all, they agreed to it before, but didn't write any agreement. ”
Of course, this is just Zhao Ruyue's suspicion, and she has no evidence.
But now it doesn't matter to her whether this is true or not. The first priority is to live a good life after the separation.
Deng Ximei spat in hatred: "Those two old bastards! If it weren't for the fact that Shaoming is a good man, kind to you and the children, and a motivated person, I would not have spared those two hateful old guys!"
After listening to his daughter's advice, Zhao Bin finally figured it out.
He followed her and advised his wife: "Now Xiaoyue and Shaoming have smoothly divided the family, and it's good for them to be the masters of their own family and live their own lives. Don't be angry. You live so close to each other, you will see each other every day. For the sake of Shaoming and the two children, don't be disrespectful to them when you see them."
Deng Ximei: "I know. I'm just mad at myself. No matter what, the old couple are pretty good to our daughter. They've never yelled at our Xiaoyue. In the past, I saw the mother-in-law scolding her eldest son's wife every now and then. I was worried that Xiaoyue would suffer if she married into their family."
Zhao Bin smiled and said, "We are both alive, how dare she bully our daughter?"
Zhao Ruyue made a few "Pooh" sounds, "What's the use of dying? Life is getting better and better now. Dad, I hope you live a long life. There will be better days in the future. If you can't enjoy them, it will be a pity!"
Her father had been to school and liked to read books and newspapers. When private trading was first allowed, he was one of the first people in the town who dared to set up a stall to sell agricultural products. Later, it was he who persuaded her third uncle to open a clinic. Her third uncle remembered this kindness and was very good to them brothers and sisters, and also took good care of her children.
When her parents' business was doing well, they even opened a shop.
But later her brother fell ill and sold the store to pay for his treatment.
Zhao Ruyue felt that if her father could live to an era when mobile phones and computers became popular, he might accept smartphones and computers faster than she did in her previous life.
Maybe you can even play games with the kids!
After chatting with her parents for a while, Zhao Ruyue saw that it was still early, so she went out to find the two children. She held one in each hand and went home with a flashlight.
Halfway through the journey, they met Ning Shaoming who came to pick them up, and the two little ones said they wanted to go play in the land of their new home.
Ning Shaoming let them do as they pleased, and Zhao Ruyue had no choice but to go with them.
There was a small forest near the homestead, and only the area where the homestead was located was cleared and became an open space.
At present, only the Ning family has bought a residential plot here. In two or three years, when people of their age are still dragging on dividing the family property, it will be too late to continue in the town.
More and more people are moving out of their families and applying for residential land here, and this place will slowly develop into a new street.
The moon in the sky is bright, and you can see the road clearly without a flashlight.
The two children ran around the homestead laughing and returned to their parents panting.
Ning Shixia held Zhao Ruyue's hand, pointed to a place and said, "Mom, put the four-wheeled vehicle I bought for you and Dad over there."
Ning Shiqiu refused to be outdone: "Then put the ones I bought for Mom and Dad over there."
Zhao Ruyue was both touched and amused. These two kids haven’t given up on buying her a car yet?
Forget it, Zhao Ruyue thought, just go along with the kids and coax them.
"Okay, okay, mom is waiting for you to buy it for us. It's getting late, we should go home. Go to bed early tonight. We have to get up early tomorrow to go to the county town to play. If anyone can't get up, I won't wait for him."
Ning Shaoming had already boiled the bath water before going out.
When I got home, I could take a shower.
There is no water heater at home, so if I want to take a shower, I can only boil water in the big tin pot at home.
It is time-consuming and laborious. There are many people in the family, and if they need to take a bath during the New Year holidays, it takes a long time for everyone to take turns to take a bath.
While Zhao Ruyue was scooping water from the large tin pot into the bucket, she was thinking that she would go to the county town to check out the water heaters tomorrow. She wondered if the storage-type electric water heaters were available on the market now.
If not, you can only use a gas water heater. The current gas water heater seems to have only three levels of temperature adjustment, which is not easy to adjust to the most suitable temperature. Men and women like different temperatures when bathing, and adults and children also like different temperatures.
Zhao Ruyue is sure that she already has an instant electric water heater.
But she also felt that although it could adjust the temperature at will, it was not safe enough.
So in general, storage electric water heaters, which can adjust various temperatures at will and are safer than instant electric water heaters, are more suitable for home use.
After bathing her two children and herself, Zhao Ruyue added the water heater to the shopping list in case she forgot.
Then I put my own shopping list, my sister-in-law's shopping list and the money into the bag I would carry to the county town tomorrow.
After washing up, the family of four lay down to rest, and Ning Shixia still nestled in her mother's arms.
Seeing that the two children were still a little excited after lying down, Zhao Ruyue thought of telling them a story to coax them to sleep.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard her daughter mumbling a bunch of words.
Zhao Ruyue thought it was cute and gently pinched her daughter's cheek: "What are you whispering?"
Ning Shixia said proudly: "I learned magic spells from the bride's aunt. The bride's aunt said that I am the smartest and fastest learner!"
"What bride aunt?"
"She's a relative from my aunt's family, next door to our next door...well, she's the bride's aunt who's hosting the wedding banquet."
Zhao Ruyue thought it was her elder sister who took her there: "Is your aunt free today?"
Ning Shixia: "It wasn't my aunt who took us there. She was busy with work. It was Brother Xinyang who asked to take us to grab the wedding candy, so we went together as a group of kids."
"Mom, I'll teach you magic spells!" Ning Shixia kicked her legs excitedly under the quilt.
Then she was suppressed by her brother: "Behave yourself, or you'll kill all my energy!"
Ning Shixia became obedient, and in less than three seconds he churned over like a little caterpillar: "Brother, I will teach you too."
Ning Shiqiu was speechless: "Who asked you to teach me? I can do it too."
"Then read it to me and I'll see if it's correct."
"No, you're not the teacher, why should I read to you?"
Ning Shixia said she would not argue with her brother: "Well, I'll read it to mom, and I'll teach you!"
Zhao Ruyue said yes with a smile.
"Then I'll start, Zero Two One Six Two..."
When Ning Shixia read it for the first time, Zhao Ruyue didn't think there was anything wrong.
When her daughter asked her to recite along, Zhao Ruyue recited it herself and finally felt something was wrong.
Why does this feel like English, and it seems to be a string of numbers.
My daughter is young and has just started preschool. She may not know the meaning and can only learn to pronounce it according to the tone.
Zhao Ruyue asked her son to read it to her as well.
My son started school early and is already in the third grade. In this small place, they only start teaching English in the third grade.
Ning Shiqiu finished reading and said, "I think this is very similar to the English numbers our teacher taught us, but isn't that bride aunt mentally ill? How come she can also speak English?"
Zhao Ruyue said: "Maybe she learned it from TV."
When Zhao Ruyue heard her sister Zhao Ruyan say that they had not seen the bride's household registration book and were going to hold the wedding ceremony without getting the marriage certificate for the time being, she felt something was wrong.
But she had a lot of things to do at that time and didn't have time to think deeply about it.
Now that feeling is even more pronounced.
The bride was supposed to be in her twenties, so there was no problem of being under the age limit.
They also said that the people who brought the bride were the bride's family. Since the girl's family wanted to marry their daughter off and find someone to be responsible for her life, shouldn't they make the marriage relationship legally binding?
Zhao Ruyue did not tell her two children about these thoughts.
After they fell asleep, she whispered to Ning Shaoming, "When you make a phone call, do you always have to add the area code in front of the phone number? I remember that phone numbers are usually seven digits long, and area codes are four digits long, right?"
Ning Shaoming didn't know why she suddenly asked this: "I think so, a total of eleven digits."
Zhao Ruyue silently counted the 'magic spell' that the neighbor's bride taught her daughter several times: "Maybe it's true..."
"What is the truth?" Ning Shaoming asked in confusion.
"Don't you think the string of numbers that the bride taught her children looks like a phone number? Do you remember which area code starts with 02?"
"I wouldn't deliberately remember this. I just remember our own. I can only confirm that it is not the area code of our province. Why don't you check the phone book? The first two pages of the phone book have the area codes of various places."
"I'll go check." Zhao Ruyue said as she was about to get up and look for the phone book.
Ning Shaoming hurriedly stopped her: "You forgot, the phone book is in Big Brother and Sister-in-law's room. It's not good to go there so late at night. Go to bed first. I'll go and help you check it tomorrow when I get up."
"I really forgot," Zhao Ruyue lay down again, "Then go to sleep first. Don't forget it tomorrow morning."
