"Mom, what did you say?" Zhu Wenwen, who lived in a tube building, heard from her own mother that the younger sister of the Yang family had really found a military officer as her partner. Not only did this man drive a big truck, he was also from Kyoto, and his family gave him a thousand yuan as a dowry.
Zhu Wenwen was stunned and dumbfounded. Her hands trembled and she almost dropped the bowl and chopsticks on the table. She screamed, "Impossible!"
"How can it be impossible? I saw it with my own eyes. You don't know how energetic and tall Yang's younger sister's boyfriend is. He even offered a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. Oh my God, how much money is that? Your father's monthly salary is only fifty yuan, but Yang's younger sister's boyfriend offered a thousand yuan as a betrothal gift. Your father's annual salary is not as much as Yang's younger sister's betrothal gift. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it." Zhu's mother was amazed and sighed.
Zhu Wenwen's cheeks were burning with anger. After all, she had always believed that if the younger sister of the Yang family didn't marry Su Qiang, she would have to marry someone in the countryside.
Before, when Second Brother Yang said that the younger sister of the Yang family had a military officer boyfriend, she didn't believe it. Later, when she really knew that the younger sister of the Yang family had a military officer boyfriend, she maliciously speculated that the officer might be a little old to be interested in the younger sister of the Yang family. Besides, there was no way that the military officer's family would really marry the younger sister of the Yang family.
But today this military officer's family actually came to the Yang family in the countryside to propose marriage. Isn't this a slap in her face?
Zhu Wenwen's face was alternating between pale and blue.
Her mother told me that the Yang younger sister's boyfriend is not only tall and handsome, but the family of the military officer boyfriend also came to the old Yang family to propose marriage and offered a betrothal gift of 1,000 yuan. You should know that her original betrothal gift was no more than 150 yuan.
At the beginning, the Yang family couldn't afford so much money, and it was impossible for them to afford so much money. Most of the betrothal gifts came from the salary saved by the second brother Yang.
Until now, Zhu Wenwen is still very proud of her 150 yuan betrothal gift and a sewing machine as a dowry, and feels that she is the best in the county.
But now compared with the younger sister of the Yang family, she is completely trash. Zhu Wenwen's face turned red and she couldn't utter a word. She felt depressed, uncomfortable and jealous.
After all, if she had a decent relationship with the younger sister of the Yang family before, she would still be able to see the good in her. But now she and the younger sister of the Yang family have fallen out. Seeing that the younger sister of the Yang family really married so well, Zhu Wenwen felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Yang's younger sister has a boyfriend who is a military officer. How come you don't know, Wenwen? Didn't Jianxing mention it to you? Or does he not know either?" asked Zhu's mother.
Zhu Wenwen felt guilty, thinking that Second Brother Yang had said it at the time, but it was a pity that she had always looked down on Yang's younger sister, a country girl. Now, she didn't believe it.
Mother Zhu knew her daughter was her own daughter, so she must have looked down on the Yang family. Even if she heard what the second son of the Yang family said, she would not believe it.
Zhu's mother was so angry that she asked her daughter why she asked her to fetch coal for Su Qiang today.
Not to mention that Yang's younger sister already has a boyfriend, her daughter had already been tried for a date last time and it didn't work out, and Yang's younger sister also knows that the guy has a boyfriend.
How can her daughter still let her be the one to lead the way?
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to trick Yang's little sister?
How could her daughter do such a thing?
Of course, before she knew that the younger sister of the Yang family had a military officer boyfriend, she felt that Zhu Qiang had some problems, but it would also be an opportunity if the younger sister of the Yang family could marry into the county.
But now he has a boyfriend who is a military officer in Kyoto. The more Zhu's mother thought about it, the more she felt that her daughter's behavior would make the younger sister of the Yang family and the people of the old Yang family resent her.
Zhu's mother asked about this hurriedly, and Zhu Wenwen felt even more guilty, with a flickering look in her eyes.
The reason why she did this was not only because she was instigated by Su Li, but also because Yang's younger sister almost forced her to quit her job and the two of them fell out.
By chance, she also heard Su Li say that Su Qiang's mother was very powerful and not easy to mess with. So, she also wanted Yang's younger sister to marry into the Su family and suffer some hardships.
Of course, she couldn't let her mother and other people know about this, so she just said, "Mom, isn't it because Su Qiang likes someone that Su Li has been asking me to tell him? You also know the relationship between Su Li and me. How could I refuse her! I just want Yang's little sister to marry into the county town!"
Zhu's mother didn't say whether she believed it or not, she just asked her daughter to have a better relationship with Yang's younger sister and stay away from the Su family.
Anyway, her daughter is now the daughter-in-law of the Yang family. As long as the second son of the Yang family stands on the side of his daughter, he will definitely benefit from it in the future.
"Oh, Wenwen, I think the Yang family will be in big trouble in the future, you and Jianxing must live well in the future!"
Zhu Wenwen's eyes flashed but she said nothing.
Mother Zhu said hurriedly: "Wenwen, you don't know that the military officer that the youngest sister of the Yang family hooked up with this time is really not an ordinary person. The military officer's father is a high-ranking official or a commander!"
Zhu Wenwen managed to remain somewhat calm when faced with the 1,000 yuan betrothal gift.
But when she heard that the military officer that Yang's younger sister hooked up with actually had a father who was a commander, Zhu Wenwen could no longer sit still. She slammed the bowl in her hand onto the table with a clang, spun around along the table, and finally stopped at the edge of the wooden table.
Zhu Wenwen and her mother ignored her. Zhu Wenwen's lips trembled. She was shocked and dumbfounded. She stood up suddenly and could no longer remain calm. She raised her voice suddenly: "Mom, what did you say? How could the little sister of the Yang family marry the son of the commander of the capital? Did you hear it wrong?"
Zhu Wenwen was so shocked that her mouth remained open for a long time. She really couldn't believe that the youngest sister of the Yang family had such ability.
"How could I have heard it wrong, mother? You don't know how impressive Yang's younger sister's boyfriend and his parents are. You can tell at first glance that they are not ordinary people!" said Zhu's mother.
Zhu Wenwen could no longer sit still after getting her mother's confirmation. She was also feeling a little regretful. If she had known that the younger sister of the Yang family was so capable and could marry the son of the commander of Kyoto, how could she have fallen out with the younger sister of the Yang family?
Why would he repeatedly introduce Su Qiang to Yang's younger sister?
Zhu Wenwen felt very regretful, and she regretted even more why she didn't go back to Yang Jianxing's house with him a few days ago.
Zhu's mother probably also thought of this, and hurriedly suggested that she take the child back to Zhu's house first, and then let her brother take her and the child to the old Yang family in the countryside.
No matter how angry the people in the old Yang family are about what happened today, after all, she is still the daughter-in-law of the old Yang family. Father and Mother Yang will probably be happier to see their granddaughter, and their anger towards her daughter will be reduced.
Ever since she knew that the younger sister of the Yang family was marrying the son of the commander of Kyoto, Zhu Wenwen no longer cared about her reputation. She quickly listened to her mother, took her child back to her parents' home, and asked her brother to send her to the old Yang family.
When going downstairs, Zhu Wenwen saw Li Yao.
If it were before, Zhu Wenwen would have definitely flirted with Li Yao, but now Zhu Wenwen ignored Li Yao and hurried out of the tube building with Zhu's mother.
After leaving the building, Zhu's mother thought of Li Yao and was shocked: "My dear, why is this Li living here?"
Zhu Wenwen said as calmly as possible: "Mom, I don't know how it happened, but Li Yao and I are both married, and we should keep in touch less!"
Mother Zhu was still a little worried.
Not to mention the child, her daughter was determined to marry this young man named Li. But she saw that Li Yao's mother was very powerful, and she was really worried about her daughter marrying into the Li family. In addition, Li Yao's mother looked down on her daughter, so she introduced other female comrades to Li Yao soon.
Both Zhu's mother and Zhu Wenwen were proud of themselves. When their daughter saw Li Yao getting close to other female comrades, she got furious and broke up with him.
Later, she finally found Jianxing as a partner. Her daughter wanted to reconcile with Li Yao, but she was severely scolded by her and her father. Only then did the daughter feel at ease to marry Jianxing.
So when Zhu's mother found out that Li Yao was still living in the inner chamber, she was afraid that her daughter would do something wrong and hurriedly said, "Daughter, the old Yang family is now married to the Commander's family, and you will be a relative of the Commander's family in the future. You must not do anything wrong."
Now, Zhu's mother thinks the second son of the Yang family is so good. After all, the second son of the Yang family is so good to her daughter that he even cooks and washes dishes at home.
Few people can compare to her blessing as a young lady.
The mother and daughter returned to Zhu's home. Mother Zhu immediately told the family about the betrothal money for Yang's younger sister and that she had found a military officer from the commander's family as her partner.
The Zhu family members were all stunned and shocked when they heard this.
Zhu's father's lips trembled as he hurriedly confirmed: "The daughter of the old Yang family hooked up with the son of the commander of the capital?"
After Zhu's father and mother confirmed it, the whole family was stunned.
Knowing that Zhu's mother wanted her daughter to return to the Yang family, he quickly asked his eldest son to ride the family's bicycle to take his daughter to the Yang family in Hongyang Society, and also scolded Zhu Wenwen to let her treat the Yang family better.
Zhu Wenwen is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. She feels very superior about her city dweller status. In the past, she dared to look down on the people of the old Yang family, but now that she knows that the younger sister of the Yang family may soon marry into the commander's family in Kyoto, how dare she look down on them? She is so busy trying to please them and show her courtesy.
Zhu Wenwen's brother Zhu Hongming was stunned and hurriedly rode his bicycle out of the door. Zhu Wenwen held her daughter in her arms and sat on the back seat.
Zhu's father and mother urged their daughter to be in a better mood.
"I know, mother!"
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhu family was particularly envious of Zhu Wenwen's good fortune, and hoped that her younger sister-in-law would not be so pretentious as to squander all her good fortune.
After Zhu's eldest brother sent Zhu Wenwen away, Zhu's father suddenly asked Zhu's mother how she knew about the Yang family.
Zhu's mother felt very guilty and stammered as she told her about her daughter asking her to act as a matchmaker, but was scolded by Zhu's father.
Red Sun Society
The news that the military officer boyfriend of the daughter of the Yang family brought someone from his family to propose marriage and offered a dowry of one thousand yuan, and that the man was the commander's son, was spread by a few neighboring ladies within just a few hours and became known to everyone in the village, causing a huge sensation.
Just in the evening, the villagers gathered together and were talking about this matter. When talking about this matter, everyone was talking about how they never thought that the daughter of the Yang family would have such luck.
At that time, his reputation was still so bad that it seemed difficult to find a good partner, but now he has found the son of a military officer in the Kyoto commander's family.
The highest official that the villagers in Hongyang Society usually see is the village chief, and they have only heard of the commander in operas.
Ouch!
The daughter of the Yang family has truly become a phoenix.
Yang Baozhu’s family will never be able to get it again.
After learning about this, the village chief's family was stunned. Even the village chief had never thought that the daughter of the Yang family had such luck and fortune.
After the village head's wife was shocked, she was happy for Baozhu's daughter.
The village head's daughters-in-law were still in shock: "Why would the daughter of Baozhu really want to marry the son of the commander? Oh my God!"
"I thought it was amazing that Baozhu's daughter had found a military officer as her boyfriend, but now this military officer has a commander as her father. Oh my God, Baozhu's daughter is so lucky."
The village head's wife immediately said, "Boss, go to Baozhu's house early tomorrow morning to take a look!"
The ones who were as shocked as the village chief's family were Zheng's father and mother.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Zheng knew that Comrade Fengshou was from Kyoto, they never thought that he had such a powerful background.
When Zheng's father and mother were stunned, Zheng Fengshou touched his nose. In fact, he was also a little shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that Commander Chen and his mother were really willing to let Brother Chen marry a country girl.
It's not that Zheng Fengshou looked down on the daughter of the Yang family, but he felt that the family backgrounds of the two families were too different. At the beginning, he did not agree with his parents' matchmaking of his younger sister and Brother Chen. Wasn't it because he was afraid that he was not worthy of her?
However, Zheng Fengshou had seen the younger sister of the Yang family last time. She was really pretty and her cooking skills were also good. Now that Commander Chen and his mother agreed, Zheng Fengshou was happy for Brother Chen and the young lady of the Yang family.
I also think that Brother Chen is very lucky to have found a daughter-in-law like Yang Jia Xiao Mei.
After being shocked, Zheng's father and mother immediately said to Zheng Fengshou: "Don't tell Lanlan about this first. Wait until she gets married."
Zheng Feng calmed down and said that his younger sister had been flirting with her boyfriend recently and they seemed to have a good relationship, so his sister would not do such a stupid thing.
Even though Brother Chen is outstanding, I really don't like him at all. Isn't it true that at the beginning, I was unwilling to get along with him?
Now it seems that the relationship between the two of them is pretty good, right?
After Zheng's father and mother worried about their youngest daughter, they also worried about their eldest son's marriage. They said that he had just been discharged from the army and was old enough, so it was time for him to find a partner.
Zheng Fengshou joked, "Mom, if you find me someone who looks like Yang's little sister and can cook, I will definitely agree immediately!"
Zheng Fengshou was just joking and using this excuse to shut his parents up, but now Zheng's mother really regretted not telling her eldest son about the Yang family's daughter. Even the commander's wife looked up to the Yang family's daughter-in-law, so the Yang family's daughter must be good.
Ouch!
Why didn't she do it sooner?
Shuying had no idea what was going on in the village. She was almost done in the kitchen, preparing the last dish, braised yellow eel. As for the egg cake, she could only make it after dinner.
She had already prepared several dishes for dinner: stir-fried meat, mixed wild vegetables, a bowl of fried pumpkin cakes, a bowl of pumpkin, a large pot of pickled fish, and a large pot of pork ribs stewed with radish.
The fish were just caught by her brothers, and the eels were caught by her eldest brother. There are not as many eels now as when winter wheat is grown, but eels are a delicious dish and the whole family likes to eat them. So her eldest brother catches one or two eels every day and puts them in a bucket to store them for a few days, so there are more eels in the bucket.
Now that her future parents-in-law are here, she has one more delicious dish.
As for the meat and ribs, her mother temporarily asked her brother to buy them from the meat processing factory in the town.
In order to entertain her target's family, her mother spent a lot of money this time. When she first came in, she even asked her to cook more dishes.
While Shuying was cooking, Chen Xi went into the kitchen as usual to help kill the eels while sitting opposite the stove to add more fire.
Several of Yang's brothers wanted to come in and help, but all the work was done by their brother-in-law.
The kitchen was small, so the Yang brothers had to stand in the yard.
Ever since the brothers found out that their little sister was dating the commander's son, they didn't dare to talk to her.
However, seeing that their younger sister was very natural and familiar with calling their brother-in-law, and that their brother-in-law was as friendly as before and called them brother, the brothers of the Yang family felt relieved.
The third and fourth brothers of the Yang family felt that their brother-in-law was so down-to-earth. Look at the second brother's wife, she is just a city girl, but every time she comes to the Yang family, she always looks at her with eyes on the top of her head, for fear that others don't know that she is a city girl.
But it was the brother-in-law, the down-to-earth son of the commander, who was now adding fuel to the fire in the kitchen and killing eels and fish for his younger sister. This down-to-earth attitude surprised the brothers.
The second elder brother of the Yang family had never had any contact with this military officer brother-in-law. Ever since he knew that this brother-in-law was the son of the commander of Kyoto, the second elder brother of the Yang family was trembling with fear.
His mind was still in a daze, wondering how his younger sister could have found a partner with such a great background, who was also so handsome and tall. The Su Qiang his wife found was not even as good as this brother-in-law.
Oh my God!
My little sister is so capable.
No wonder the other party bought such an expensive watch for his little sister.
Shuying had no idea what his brothers were muttering about. When Chen Xi saw the last dish of braised yellow eel, his eyes lit up.
Shuying knew at a glance that he probably liked this dish.
After preparing the braised yellow eel neatly, Shuying took a piece with her chopsticks and asked her partner if he wanted to try it.
Chen Xi stood up and came over to take a sip.
This is the taste. Chen Xi immediately gave his audience a thumbs up and praised, "It's delicious!"
His girlfriend’s cooking is really delicious, and Chen Xi feels that he will be really blessed in the future.
Shuying picked up some braised yellow eel and other dishes for him to try one by one. He had eaten the pickled fish and yellow eel last time, and they tasted especially good.
The steamed pumpkin was too sweet as he doesn't really like sweet taste. However, the stewed pork and radish stewed pork ribs were also very good.
Chen Xi was still not satisfied after tasting it, especially the cooked pork. Chen Xi asked his partner to take an extra piece for him.
Shuying took one more piece of food with his chopsticks and stopped him from eating. Chen Xi saw that his girlfriend's forehead was covered with sweat and felt very distressed, so he wiped the sweat off her face.
Shuying called a few brothers to come in and help serve the dishes.
"Here I come, little sister!"
When the brothers came in to serve the dishes, they saw the brother-in-law lowering his head and carefully helping his younger sister tuck a strand of hair on her forehead behind her ear. He looked at the younger sister with particularly gentle eyes, and his eyes were all about the younger sister.
That gentle look gave the Yang brothers goosebumps.
I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be such a person.
The brothers used to think that their brother-in-law was a man of his word because of his tough appearance. In addition, he had a cold and hard face and always looked sullen, so they always felt that their brother-in-law was not easy to deal with.
Look, today, after seeing her younger sister calling people and her brother-in-law thinking that their younger sister is the only one in his heart, the Yang brothers are not worried that her brother-in-law will treat her badly in the future.
The brothers of the Yang family hurriedly retreated, and Shuying hurriedly called for people to stop. Only then did the brothers of the Yang family bite the bullet and go in to serve the dishes.
Chen Xi remained calm and helped serve the dishes.
While Shuying was making dinner, Yang's father and mother had already decided on the time for their wedding, as well as the date for obtaining the marriage certificate and the matter of accompanying the couple in the army. They also decided to hold the wedding in the countryside.
After all, Kyoto was not peaceful. Commander Chen and his mother thought about it and decided that it would be better to hold the wedding in the countryside. Fearing that his father and mother would think too much, Commander Chen and his mother said that their son had to return to the army immediately, and it would be too late to hold the wedding then. So they could hold the wedding again in Kyoto when the two children were free.
Commander Chen and his mother's proposal made Yang's father and mother very happy.
Kyoto is so far away and there are so many children in the family. How could the whole family go to Kyoto?
She and the old man are not young anymore, and their old bones can't afford to be tortured.
Yang's father and mother agreed with a smile, thinking that their relative was very sensible.
Commander Chen and his mother simply mentioned that their eldest son was divorced. Now, since Axi wanted to take his nephew with him to join the army, he would probably have to live with the young couple for a while.
When Chen's mother brought up this matter, she was afraid that Yang's father and mother would not agree.
In fact, Chen's mother did not agree with A Xi taking Yi Bao with him to join the army. Put yourself in her shoes. The girl has just married you, so what's the big deal about you bringing a burden along?
Mother Chen wants to take care of her grandson herself. She is worried about letting the eldest son take care of her. The eldest son will definitely get married in the future, and she really doesn't trust the eldest son's judgment now.
Yang's father and mother thought it was a big deal. After hearing this, they quickly responded, "What's the big deal?"
Look, Mother Yang is bragging again about how good her young lady is at taking care of children. Look how much her nephews and nieces like their aunt.
Of course, Yang's mother also had some selfish motives. Her daughter-in-law would follow the army in the future, and her son-in-law would definitely be busy. It would be nice to have a child to accompany her daughter.
Seeing that Yang's father and mother agreed very readily, Commander Chen and his mother's favorable impression of the Yang family gradually increased.
There is no other relative who is so sensible.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, it's time for dinner."
"My dear relatives, the food at home is simple, let's just eat something casually!" said Father Yang.
Yang's mother immediately responded, "My dear relatives, my daughter is the chef tonight, so it's a good opportunity for you to taste her cooking skills!"
Mother Yang did not let her two daughters-in-law cook tonight because she wanted her daughter to show off her cooking skills in front of her future parents-in-law.
Speaking of which, she really admired her young lady's cooking skills.
Father Yang had already smelled the delicious food cooked by his daughter and couldn't wait to have dinner, so he hurriedly called his in-laws.
When Commander Chen and his mother heard that their daughter-in-law would be cooking dinner, they both looked forward to it.
When the four of them entered the main room, the food prepared by Shuying was already on the table. Commander Chen and his mother were extremely surprised to see the delicious food.
"My dear relatives, please sit down!"
The two sisters-in-law had just prepared another table, and the children ate at that other table.
Hearing the call for dinner, Da Hu stopped bragging to his friends, got off the truck, and was carried home by the guards along with his two younger brothers and cousin.
Shuying invited the guards to sit down and eat together.
Father Yang saw that his daughter had cooked so many delicious dishes, and couldn't wait any longer. He said hurriedly, "My dear relatives, you guys should taste my daughter's cooking skills first!"
The family was having dinner when Yang's father and mother suddenly heard Zhu Wenwen's voice: "Mom and Dad, I'm back!"
