Chapter 39 Proposal to build a house
"Of course I said this after thinking it over. I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. I know what to say and what not to say." Wang Hui smiled faintly.
She insisted for almost ten years. Before the New Year, she received a letter from her family asking her to find someone to marry as soon as possible.
To be honest, the moment she saw the letter, her whole heart was in a knot.
Liu Ping glanced at Cui Xue, smiled awkwardly, and didn't dare to really agree to this request.
Fortunately, Cui Xiongnian and his wife came back at this time. Seeing Wang Hui coming home, Cui Xiongnian and his wife were very enthusiastic.
When the original body was here, he couldn't talk to the girls in the village, so he didn't have many friends.
Now they finally have a girl like Wang Hui who they can get close to, so of course they are happy.
Wang Hui did not apply to go home this year, so Liang Xiaoying invited her to spend the New Year with them, but she refused repeatedly.
"Auntie, you really can't do this. If people know about it, they will start to talk nonsense again." Wang Hui was an educated youth, and Cui Xiongnian was the team leader. She had already made many educated youth jealous by getting close to Cui Xue.
If she came to Cui's house to spend the New Year now, she couldn't even think about how the educated youth would look at her after the New Year.
"Mom, don't bother. The educated youth are going to spend the New Year together. What's the point of you bringing them here?" Cui Xue came out to save Wang Hui. "
So that's the case. Auntie, I didn't expect that." Liang Xiaoying suddenly realized and smiled at her a little embarrassedly.
After the reminder from her lady, Liang Xiaoying didn't understand anything. She was afraid of being isolated for not fitting in.
But thinking about it, it is indeed necessary to take such consideration into account. Those people in the educated youth point, who doesn't have their own little thoughts.
When those people first arrived, many people came to their house to hang around, hoping to get familiar with them so that they could have a better life. Unfortunately, Cui Xiongnian is a selfless person.
Thinking of the past, Liang Xiaoying shook her head in her heart.
"It's okay, auntie, I will come to pay New Year's greetings when the time comes, just don't think I'm annoying."
"How could I, I can't wait for you to come, just come, auntie will treat you well." There
was constant laughter in the Cui family's kitchen, and it was so lively that it really had a hint of the New Year's atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve, Cui Xue got up early in the morning to work with Liang Xiaoying.
In previous years, Liu Ping, the eldest daughter-in-law, was busy with Liang Xiaoying, but this year, because she was pregnant, Liang Xiaoying specifically asked Cui Xue to take her place and let her have a good rest.
The two cleaned up the house inside and out. Cui Xue looked at the old house and thought about it.
Cui Xiongnian and Cui Yingxiong killed a chicken and two fish, and then prepared the ingredients and lit the fire.
The house was cleaned and the kitchen was almost done.
The mother and daughter went to the kitchen and started to cook the New Year's Eve dinner.
Thanks to Cui Xue's high-priced purchases on the black market, this year's New Year's Eve dinner is much richer than in previous years.
It was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the wooden tables in the house were basically full.
After worshipping their ancestors, they sat down to eat.
It was windy today and it was very cold outside, so they moved the dining table to the kitchen, where it was much warmer after lighting a fire.
"Another year has passed. I hope that everyone in our family will get better and better in the new year." After dinner, Cui Xiongnian raised his wine glass and said auspicious words with a rosy face.
"Getting better and better!" Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the coming of the new year.
Cui Xue took a sip of the drink in the glass, and when she put down the glass, she said to Cui Xiongnian: "Dad, shall we build a house next year?"
No one expected her to say this. Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at her.
"What? You want to throw all the money you earn back home, and you even mention building a house?" Cui Xiongnian looked a little unhappy.
Cui Xue just smiled, not caring that his words were a little unpleasant.
She has actually always had this idea, but she didn't have that much money before. Now she has saved almost enough money, so it's no problem to build a house, and there's even some left, enough for her to go to college.
"Dad, when you say this, if not for yourself, you have to consider my nephews and nieces, right? Look at this house, it's been there for many years. My sister-in-law is going to give birth in the middle of next year. We will be busy with one more person in the family. What if my sister-in-law has a second child?"
Seeing that Cui Xiongnian's face relaxed a little, Cui Xue continued, "Besides, it's not like we are short of money. Just build a house. Look at how many people in Daliang Village live in brick and tile houses, but we still live in adobe houses. Don't think about what the villagers will say. They have the upper hand. What can they say about us? Do you think they won't talk about you behind your back now?"
Cui Xiongnian still didn't say anything, silently thinking about how much money the family had and how to build the house.
"Speaking of which, you are the village captain. If you don't take the lead in rebuilding your house, will the powerful families in the village dare to do it?"
This is indeed true. The captain's family has not made any move yet. Other families with money dare not build houses in a big way.
Otherwise, the villagers' spit will drown them, and it will even arouse suspicion from others.
The captain, an official, doesn't have so much money to build a house. Where can you, a peasant, get the money to build a house?
Who knows, someone jealous will report it, and that family will be destroyed.
Seeing the silence, Liang Xiaoying glanced at Cui Xiongnian and said to Cui Xue: "You are just making a decision. Is this a matter of money? Your sister-in-law is still pregnant. We can't do any construction at home. If something goes wrong, the child will be implicated." After hearing
her words, Liu Ping also touched her belly and nodded in agreement.
This saying has always existed. Since ancient times, there have been many taboos for pregnant women in the family, from the placement of items in the home to the construction of houses.
Cui Xue was confused. She didn't really understand this. In her previous life, she was single until her death. There were not many pregnant women around her. Even if there were, they would not talk to her about this.
And the original owner was also young, so she would not pay attention to this kind of cold knowledge.
"Then..." Cui Xue hesitated.
If that were the case, it would be June or July after Liu Ping gave birth and finished her confinement. At that time, she would be busy with both work and work, and she would have no time to build a house.
The earliest construction could start would be after the second crop was planted, but by then, she would have known about the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Her family would definitely let her take the college entrance examination, so in order to let her study hard, the matter had to be postponed.
By the time she finished the exam, another year had passed.
It's been delayed year after year. I don't know if her parents will think about building a house after she leaves home to go to college.
"Let's talk about it after the eldest daughter-in-law gives birth." Cui Xiongnian's words at this time basically made it a done deal.
Cui Xue knew it would be like this. She felt helpless and glanced at everyone.
The timing is totally wrong, but since they have lived here for so long, they don't care about the next one or two years. Let's see when the time comes and try to get this done before she goes to college.
