At first, Yang Erge thought his younger sister was joking with him. How old is his father? Besides, are workers in the county easy to pick?
When the eldest brother of the Yang family came in and told the second brother Yang that his father was indeed working in the furniture factory in the county town for several weeks, and the family also bought a bicycle.
Brother Yang was so shocked that he was stunned. He was completely dumbfounded. His lips were trembling and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
The eldest brother of the Yang family was paying attention to the dishes made by his youngest sister. When he saw a large plate of bright red peppers and fish, he swallowed his saliva wildly: "Little sister, what is this...fish head? Why does it look so red and so delicious?"
Shuying knew that his eldest brother liked spicy food, so he smiled and replied to Yang's eldest brother: "Brother, you don't like spicy food, so I put more chili in it."
Not long after the eldest brother of the Yang family came in, a few little followers followed him in, including Da Hu, Er Hu, Xiao Hu, Daya and Erya.
They crowded around the stove and looked into the pot.
Mother Yang also came in. The kitchen was so small that there was no room for so many people. She hurriedly sent her greedy grandchildren to play in the yard, and asked the eldest brother of the Yang family to serve the dishes on the table, saying, "Your father is back, my lady, serve the dishes on the table!"
"Okay, Mom!" Shuying saw that his nephews and nieces were hungry, and he couldn't bear it, so he asked his two brothers to help serve the dishes.
The second elder brother of the Yang family was shocked to learn that his father worked as a worker in the county. He still couldn't believe it and asked his mother, "Mom, is Dad really a worker in the county?"
"What's the matter? You just realized it now. That's right. Doesn't your wife look down on our Yang family? In the future, we will also have workers." Yang's mother said proudly.
She really has no good feelings towards the second son's wife now. Look, how many times has she come to the Yang family since she married the second son?
This shows how much they look down on the Yang family. No wonder people in the village say that the second son in the family is a son-in-law who married into the family. Mother Yang is so angry.
If the second son and his wife didn't have a child, she would have forced him to divorce his wife.
Yang Erge hurriedly said, "Mom, I am also from the old Yang family."
Mother Yang snorted. Although she was dissatisfied with her second son's wife, she still cared a lot about her granddaughter. She immediately asked her second brother Yang why he didn't bring the child with him.
Yang Erge couldn't tell his wife that she disliked the dirtiness of the countryside and didn't want him to bring the child here, so he just said, "The child prefers to be taken care of by her mother."
After Second Brother Yang said this, Mother Yang didn't say much.
While Mother Yang and Second Brother Yang were talking, the eldest brother of the Yang family took out the steamer and steamed eggs.
Several nephews and nieces outside saw this and screamed with joy.
Shuying then took out the fish.
Yang's second brother was very curious and asked his mother how his father became a worker. He learned from his mother that it was his future brother-in-law who helped his father get a job as a worker in the county furniture factory, and also sent his third and fourth brothers to the county transportation factory to learn how to drive.
Brother Yang was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He was shocked in his heart: "My little sister's partner is so capable?"
"That's right. My son-in-law is very filial. Unlike some people, they are disloyal and only care about their own wives!" said Yang's mother.
The second brother Yang twitched his lips when he heard what his mother said, thinking that he only had his own daughter-in-law.
However, the youngest sister's partner was able to send her father to work as a worker in a furniture factory in the county, and she was also able to send the third and fourth children to the county to learn how to drive.
My little sister, this guy is really too capable, isn’t he?
The third and fourth sons are so lucky.
When he was in high school, he wanted to learn a craft, but no one was willing to teach him no matter how hard he worked. He knew very well how difficult it was to learn a craft.
"Mom, second brother, it's time to eat!"
When Yang's mother and second brother Yang came out, Yang's father and third brother Yang had already entered the main room, and fourth brother Yang Jianzhang was parking his bicycle.
Looking at his own bicycle, Brother Yang’s eyes almost popped out.
Oh my God, he just hasn't been home for a while, why has the house changed so much? He even bought a bicycle.
Returning to the main room for dinner, Yang Erge noticed that his father looked particularly well and energetic, as if he was several years younger.
Well, his father could work as a worker in the county town, so how could he not look good?
When he thought that his father was also a worker, Yang Erge was a little excited. He wanted to see if his wife would dare to look down on his father in the future! Yang Erge couldn't wait to tell his wife that his father was a worker in the county.
Father Yang asked, "Is the second son back?"
Look, isn’t Father Yang’s attention focused on the dishes cooked by his young lady?
Ever since his daughter started cooking, Mr. Yang always had something to look forward to when he came home from work.
Just now, I saw that the table was filled with fish seasoned with red peppers, and Father Yang, who loves spicy food, was very hungry.
Not only Yang's father had an appetite, but also Yang's brothers, two sisters-in-law and even Yang's mother all had a good appetite.
After everyone in the family was seated, a big bowl of steamed egg was given to the little ones, and the rest of the family took steamed buns and dipped their chopsticks into the bowl of chopped pepper fish.
Father Yang tasted it first. After tasting the fragrant and spicy chopped pepper fish made by his daughter, Father Yang wanted to give his daughter a thumbs up.
I just felt like I had lived my whole life in vain, how could there be such delicious fish?
Oh, his daughter-in-law is such a good cook. His son-in-law will be so lucky in the future!
The eldest, third and fourth brothers of the Yang family used actions to show how much the chopped pepper fish made by their youngest sister suited their appetite. The brothers buried their heads in the food and ate it with sweat all over their foreheads.
The eldest brother of the Yang family praised while eating: "Little sister, this chopped pepper fish is so delicious!" It suits his taste better than the yellow eel last time. The eldest brother of the Yang family decided to go fishing if he has time tomorrow and let his little sister cook fish for him again.
Mother Yang and her two sisters-in-law ate without raising their heads. Mother Yang still felt sorry for the grease in the kitchen, but the dishes cooked by her young lady were so delicious.
No wonder the old man and his brothers want their daughters to cook for them every day.
Even she has gotten used to the dishes cooked by her daughter-in-law. What will she do after her daughter-in-law gets married?
Compared to the Yang family, everyone was already accustomed to the delicious food cooked by their youngest daughter (younger sister). The first time Yang Erge ate the food cooked by his younger sister, no matter it was chopped pepper fish or mixed wild vegetables, he was amazed by the food and his face showed visible shock and confusion, especially when he got the spicy and fragrant chopped pepper fish.
It was so delicious that Yang Erge almost swallowed it with his tongue.
Second Brother Yang originally wanted to talk about becoming a worker, but as soon as he tasted the chopped pepper fish, he forgot about everything else. He stared at the bowl of fish with green eyes, and ate the chopped pepper fish voraciously while chewing on steamed buns. He looked as if he had not eaten for days.
Shuying prefers eating wild vegetables to chopped pepper fish, but she eats a lot of chopped pepper fish. Dahu and Erhu also like chopped pepper fish, but the fish is too spicy, so their family picked some fish meat and put it in their bowls and didn't let them eat it. They were only allowed to eat steamed eggs.
As for the three little guys, Da Ya, Er Ya and Xiao Hu, their faces turned red as soon as they tasted the chopped pepper fish, and they obediently ate the steamed eggs that their aunt gave them.
I don’t know if the chopped pepper fish goes too well with steamed buns, but the steamed buns that Shuying made specially tonight were not enough.
Father Yang and his friends asked Mother Yang why she didn't do more.
Yang's mother immediately scolded, "What's the matter? You still want to eat your fill? When all the food in the granary is gone, I'll see what you'll eat!"
Isn't Yang's mother happy that her daughter is going to get married? Otherwise, at the rate the family is consuming food, how would there be enough food at home?
Shuying thought that next time she would make spicy dishes, so she would probably have to make more steamed buns.
After Yang's mother scolded them, Yang's father and others dared not say anything.
The two sisters-in-law got up to clean up the dishes, Yang's mother went to the kitchen, and Yang's father and sons quickly cleaned up the remaining soup from the chopped pepper fish.
"My dear, this chopped pepper fish is so delicious!" Father Yang quickly gave her a thumbs up and secretly told her to make more steamed buns next time if she wants to cook such a delicious dish.
Now that Yang's father is a worker, he is not worried at all about having no food at home.
When Father Yang mentioned this, several brothers nodded quickly, and the two sisters-in-law also looked at her with shining eyes.
Shuying chuckled: "I know, Dad!"
After finishing the meal prepared by his younger sister, Second Brother Yang was really surprised. Why did he feel that the meal prepared by his younger sister was better than the one prepared by the chef in the state-owned hotel he had eaten before?
He just thought that his little sister could cook it, but he didn't expect it to be so much better than he expected. It was really unbelievable for him.
Brother Yang asked hurriedly, "Little sister, your cooking skills are amazing. When did you learn this?"
Shuying lied without blushing or breathing heavily, "I went to the state-owned hotel in the county to see how the chef cooked, and then I followed his example and learned how to cook it. Now you will be able to do it with experience!"
The second brother who watched the chef cook for a year but only learned the basics: "..."
"Second son, how many days are you planning to stay at home? The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month is in a few days, and it would be nice for the whole family to have a reunion dinner!" After saying this, Yang's father wanted to ask the second son why he didn't bring his wife with him, but when he thought that the second son's wife might dislike the people in the village and their Yang family, Yang's father didn't say much.
After tasting the food cooked by his youngest sister, the second elder brother of the Yang family no longer wanted to go back to the county town. It was a rare opportunity to go back to the countryside this time, so he planned to stay for a few more days. The factory happened to be closed for the weekend and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, Shuying became restless when she heard that the second brother of the Yang family was going to stay at home for three days. As soon as his third brother came home, Zhu Wenwen in the tube-shaped building would definitely have an affair with her adulterer named Li who lived downstairs. Shuying wondered if she really had to go and report it in person?
Shuying still hasn't been able to go to the county town in these three days.
Ever since she spent several thousand dollars on spareribs last time, her mother started to keep an eye on her and stopped letting her go to the county town to spend money.
The family has been busy these days, and the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is in three days. There is no oven at home, so we can't take out the mooncakes from the mall. Shuying plans to make an egg cake for the family to taste.
At noon on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the Yang family and their five sons went to work in their fields. Shuying was making egg cakes at home, and at noon someone from the Su family came to her house to propose marriage.
When Shuying was told by his eldest nephew Dahu, he was completely confused.
Da Hu said hurriedly, "Aunt, it was the neighboring ladies who said that, not me. But why is my uncle-in-law different?"
Without waiting for Shuying to reply, Dahu continued, "Aunt, I want the uncle-in-law who drives the big car, not this ugly one!"
Tree Shadow: “…”
Su Li and the others were dressed like city dwellers, which attracted the attention of many people in the village. They entered the Yang family's small courtyard.
The neighbors next door never stopped talking about it.
Yang's mother recognized Zhu Wenwen's mother first, after all, the two families were relatives.
Zhu's mother didn't want to come at first, as her relationship with Yang's mother was not very good, but her daughter-in-law said that Su Li was rare and asked her for help, so she asked her to help find a matchmaker.
By then the deal will be done and there will be money for the matchmaker.
Also let her talk to Yang's father and mother and let Yang's younger sister marry Su Qiang.
Besides, Su Qiang was a worker in the county town. Although he was a widower and had a daughter, Zhu's mother and Zhu Wenwen both felt that it was a blessing for the daughter of the Yang family that the younger sister of the Yang family could find a worker as her partner.
At this time, Zhu's mother was introducing Su Qiang's mother, Su Qiang, and Su Li to Yang's mother at the gate of the courtyard, saying, "My dear, this is the case. The young man of the Su family likes your daughter very much, and he came to me to act as a matchmaker. I think the two of them may have a destiny. This young man is a worker in the county, and his monthly salary is about 35 yuan. If your daughter marries into the Su family, she will definitely enjoy a good life."
As soon as Zhu's mother finished speaking, Su Li also hurriedly said, "Auntie, my cousin really likes your daughter. As long as you agree, the betrothal gift is easy to discuss!"
Su Li came this time to help instigate Yang's younger sister's parents to marry Yang's younger sister to her cousin.
She still remembered the last time when the younger sister of Yang family almost made her get fired. Su Li had made up her mind to let the younger sister of Yang family marry into their Su family and be bullied by them.
As for the fact that the younger sister of Yang family has a military officer boyfriend, Su Li is not worried at all. Whoever the military officer's family is willing to marry a country girl, Su Li is sure that she can let Yang's father and mother marry the younger sister of Yang family into their Su family, so that the younger sister of Yang family can dare to covet the man she likes!
She has also told her cousin and aunt to give more betrothal gifts when proposing marriage, so she is not afraid that Yang's parents will disagree.
How much dowry has the Yang family's younger sister swallowed? How will she spit it out after marrying into the Su family?
Su Qiang immediately followed Su Li's words and said that as long as Yang's mother agreed to the marriage, he could get a hundred yuan as a betrothal gift.
You should know that the maximum amount of betrothal gift in the village nowadays is no more than 30 yuan. But when the neighbor lady next door heard that it was 100 yuan, she started talking even louder.
When Su Qiang's mother heard about the 100 yuan betrothal gift, her eyebrows knitted together. She had a mean and thin face, and looked very difficult to get along with. Her knitted eyebrows made her look even more mean.
Su Qiang's mother subconsciously disagreed, but she endured it when she remembered that Su Li said she had a way to let her son find a daughter-in-law without spending a penny.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have bothered to come to the countryside today.
Yang's mother was so shocked by the 100 yuan betrothal gift that she was stunned for a long time. Su Qiang's mother and Su Li looked at Yang's mother with contempt. Country people are country people. She must have been scared silly by such a large amount of money.
Zhu's mother also felt that Yang's mother was embarrassing.
After Yang's mother came to her senses, she didn't realize at first that this person was the widower with bad character that Zhu Wenwen introduced to her daughter last time.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Yang's mother called her two daughters-in-law to come out and help bring water, intending to refuse people immediately.
After all, she now has a military officer son-in-law. With her military officer son-in-law as a contrast, how could she look down on the man in front of her who has average looks and average height.
Besides, when she saw the man's eyes moving around, she could tell at a glance that he was not an honest person. And his mother had a mean face and didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with.
In a family like this, even if her daughter has no partner, she would not want to marry her daughter into the family.
At this time, Shuying came out of the kitchen and said, "Mom, there's no need to pour water. This person is the one my second sister-in-law introduced to me last time. He already has a date and is still dating me!"
"What?"
"What?"
Yang's mother and Zhu's mother said in unison. Yang's mother was so angry that she almost smoked. She was angry that Zhu Wenwen's mother had the audacity to bring such a bad widower to her home and even wanted her daughter to marry such a man.
Zhu's mother had no idea that the two had been dating with the help of her daughter, and she had no idea that the other party was already dating someone when he was dating Yang's daughter.
If this is true, then isn't this person named Su a bad person?
How dare her daughter introduce such a person to the daughter of the Yang family?
Zhu's mother was stunned, Yang's mother looked for a broom and prepared to sweep the man out. When Su Qiang was anxious and at a loss, Su Li hurriedly said, "Little sister Yang, it was really a misunderstanding last time. My cousin really has no one!"
When Su Qiang's mother saw the daughter of the Yang family for the first time, she didn't like her. She looked like this, and it turned out that she was a vixen who seduced her son. After this vixen married into their Su family, she would see how she would deal with people in the future. Thinking so in her heart, Su Qiang's mother still wanted to marry this country daughter-in-law without spending a penny. She immediately said hurriedly: "My dear relatives, there must be a misunderstanding here. As a mother, I know my son best. How can he find a partner? But this child is thinking about your daughter every day. As long as your daughter marries into my Su family, I will definitely treat your daughter as my own daughter!"
Su Qiang quickly agreed, "Auntie, my mother and I will treat your daughter well!" He then said to Yang Shuying, "Little sister Yang, I really don't have a partner now. We can discuss the amount of the betrothal gift."
Su Li also hurriedly said: "Yes, Auntie, my cousin is a worker in the county town, and his monthly salary is about 35 yuan. As long as your daughter marries into our Su family, my aunt and cousin have agreed to give her 100 yuan..." as a betrothal gift!
Before Su Li finished her words, Su Li and her group were all swept out of the Yang family's courtyard by Yang's mother with a broom, and she cursed as she swept: "What kind of in-laws are you calling me? Don't ruin my reputation. I don't care about your betrothal gift."
Mother Yang was so angry that she almost fainted. What kind of people were the Zhu family? The daughter of the Zhu family wanted to cheat her daughter, and Mother Zhu also wanted to cheat her daughter.
If the second brother doesn't divorce his wife today, she will never let him go.
Su Li covered her face and hurried out, not giving up and said to Yang Shuying: "Little sister of the Yang family, my cousin is a worker. If you don't agree, you can only marry a country boy in the future."
Mother Zhu came to her senses and still felt that it was a rare opportunity for the daughter of the Yang family to marry into the county town, so she advised, "My dear, let's talk it over. Su Qiang is a worker, and he gets a lot of salary every month. Your daughter will enjoy a good life with him."
Su Qiang's mother was hit in the face by a broom and turned hostile: "You think your daughter is so rich, but my son is a worker. I don't think your daughter can find a partner if she misses such a good partner as my son!"
Seeing his mother getting angry, Su Qiang looked anxious.
Yang's mother almost fainted from the shamelessness of this family. Shuying hurried over to support Yang's mother and said in a cold voice: "Comrade Su, last time I told you that I already had a partner, but you still found me a partner. I now suspect that you have a serious bad style and even more ideological problems. Tomorrow I will go to the County Urban Revolutionary Committee to have a good talk with you."
Su Li was so frightened by the words of the Progressive Committee that her face turned pale and her vision went dark. She almost couldn't stand. She was still unwilling to give up and shouted, "Young sister Yang, what are you talking about? You are the one with bad conduct. Even if you have a military officer as your partner, there is no way your partner's family would really marry a country girl like you."
At this time, a military green jeep drove over the bumpy mud and stopped outside the Yang family's courtyard. The guard got out first and opened the door: "Commander, Madam, Commander, we're here."
