Chapter 134: With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
Noon.
Deng Changfu's home.
In the dim room, Guan Yongying, who had just finished lunch, was sitting in front of the sewing machine and making clothes.
This brand new sewing machine was one of the gifts her parents asked for when she got married.
For women of this era, making clothes is basically a necessary skill, and Guan Yongying naturally understands it. She is now more than five months pregnant, and her belly looks quite big. She has nothing to do, so she plans to make a few clothes for her child in advance.
When a person is working hard, he or she does not feel the passage of time. It was not until her sister-in-law came in and called her to eat that she realized it was already time for lunch.
Although his waist felt a little sore from sitting for so long, Guan Yongying still felt a sense of accomplishment when looking at the small clothes that had been made.
While eating, Guan Yongying noticed that there was only a poached egg in her bowl, while everyone else was eating vegetables and pickles.
This situation has been going on for a long time.
In order to marry her, her husband's family owed a debt of several hundred yuan. Later, when she followed Jiugong to grow Guiwei lychees, she even went to a credit union to borrow money.
Today, the lychee seedlings have just been planted and the earliest they can harvest is next year. With so much debt owed, the family can only tighten their belts to make ends meet.
However, since she became pregnant, no matter how frugal her family was, they had never treated her badly in terms of food. It was of course impossible for her to eat meat or eggs at every meal, but every day she could either eat an egg or one or two pieces of pork, which was already a very good meal.
Seeing that the whole family was eating vegetables and pickles, only she had meat or eggs. At first, Guan Yongying felt embarrassed and asked her mother-in-law not to add extra dishes for her. But her mother-in-law smiled and said that she was not eating alone, the baby in her belly also had to eat.
That being said, Guan Yongying is not a child and naturally knows how lucky she is to have such a mother-in-law.
Her parents-in-law treated her really well, her husband treated her like the apple of his eye, and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law also respected her very much. This kind of life in her husband's family made Guan Yongying understand what happiness was.
At night, before going to bed, Guan Yongying took out the dowry money her parents gave her when she got married, leaving thirty yuan for self-defense, and handed the rest to her husband, saying, "Brother Fu, our family is in a difficult period right now, and mom has to make extra dishes for me every day. Give this money to mom tomorrow and ask her to make extra dishes for you from time to time. Otherwise, you will work from morning till night every day, and your bodies will not be able to bear it!"
In the dim light, Deng Changfu saw the stack of money his wife handed over, and he was deeply moved. He held her hand and said, "Yongying, you are so kind. I don't know how many good things I did in my last life to let me meet you in this life. I will tell mom about your kindness tomorrow. You can keep the money yourself. Mom still has money in her hand. The money I borrowed from the credit union before has not been spent yet!"
Guan Yongying said, "I am also a member of the family now. No matter whether Mom has money or not, I will do my part. Give this money to Mom tomorrow. When the family's financial situation improves in the future, will you not give me the money if you have it?"
Deng Changfu immediately said, "How is that possible? From now on, every penny I earn will be given to you for safekeeping."
"That's it!"
Guan Yongying smiled, stuffed the money back into his pocket and said, "Alright, stop being so nagging. I'm a little tired from making clothes today, and I'm going to sleep!"
Deng Changfu held the stack of money and saw his wife lying down to sleep. He couldn't calm down for a long time.
He was not well-educated, and he racked his brains before finally remembering the saying: With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
…
The next day.
Deng Changfu found an opportunity to give the stack of money to his mother and repeated what his wife had said. Finally, he said, "Mom, this is Yongying's gift. You should keep it. When the lychees are harvested next year, you can find a chance to return it to her."
Changfu's mother looked down at the stack of money in her hand and couldn't help but sigh: "Afu, you really married a good wife. Jiugong's vision of judging people is really impeccable."
Deng Changfu nodded and said, "Yes, Jiugong is a great matchmaker!"
Changfu's mother did not reject her eldest daughter-in-law's kindness. She took the money and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for now. When the lychees we grow at home are harvested next year, I'll find a chance to return it to Yongying. And you can't be so frugal next time."
Deng Changfu said: "Mom, you can take care of the arrangements!"
…
Originally, Deng Shirong planned to build the water wall at home after completing the construction of Litchi Mountain, and then demolish the old house, level the ground, and then see if he should lay a cement floor.
But as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes. Now that my eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, it is not appropriate to start construction at this time.
Anyway, there was no rush for this matter, so Deng Shirong simply put it aside for the time being and waited until the fetus in his eldest daughter-in-law's belly was stable before starting.
With nothing to do, Deng Shirong walked towards Deng Yuncai's house.
After the Chinese New Year, Deng Yungui's family was the first to start building a house, and Deng Yuncai also accepted Deng Shirong's suggestion and planned to build three large blue brick and tile houses first. The foundation had been laid not long ago, and the walls had started to be built in the past two days. Deng Shirong planned to go over and see how many days it would take to complete the house.
In less than three minutes, Deng Shirong arrived at Deng Yuncai's house and found that about two-thirds of the wall had been built.
"Uncle Nine!"
"Jiu Gong!"
When they saw Deng Shirong coming, everyone who was working greeted him.
Deng Shirong nodded, looked at Deng Yuncai who was building the wall, and said, "It looks like the wall can be built tomorrow!"
Deng Yuncai smiled and said, "Well, it can be done tomorrow!" Then he got down from the wooden rack.
Deng Shirong asked, "Yuncai, your house will be completed soon. Have you hired someone to make some furniture?"
Deng Yuncai shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Jiu, my family doesn't have the financial means to buy furniture right now. At most, I can make a bunk bed for Yuan, and we can buy other furniture when he makes money in the future."
Deng Shirong did not dwell on this issue and said, "Your house will be finished in the next few days. If you have no objection, I will take some time to go to the girl's house and act as a matchmaker for Yuan."
Deng Yuncai quickly said, "Of course I have no objection. I wonder where this girl you are talking about is from, Uncle Jiu?"
Deng Shirong said: "I'll come back and tell you after I get some feedback from her parents!"
Deng Yuncai said, "Well, since you, Uncle Jiu, are here to help my Yuan, I can rest assured."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll go do it in two days and try to get a good result."
My waist is really killing me. I get sore when I sit for a long time. Big guys, if you still have monthly tickets, please give me two.
