Chapter 425 A Different Little Year
Xu Zijin's heartstrings were plucked again.
Her mother-in-law really treats her like her own daughter.
No, it hurts more than loving my daughter.
With a mother-in-law like this, what else could I be dissatisfied with?
"Fifth sister, writing is not about the thickness of one's hands, but about whether one has ideas in his head and culture in his stomach."
"You are still young, you light the fire and I will cook."
But Lu Yuzhu still refused: "No, no, mother said you can't do it."
"Sister-in-law, just listen to what mother says. I will do this, really."
Well, since they refused to let her do it, Xu Zijin could only be a fireman.
I have to say that Lu Yuzhu is really a capable girl.
I made breakfast and prepared the dishes for the New Year's Eve celebration in the evening.
Xu Zijin, an adult, became an assistant.
Mrs. Lu and her friends didn't come back until three o'clock. By then, the chicken and meat were already stewed at home.
"Mom, Yuzhu is really capable, come and see."
"She prepared all this and didn't let me get involved."
But Lu Ma said, "Your hands are for writing, how can you do such rough work?"
"Besides, Yuzhu is already a 14-year-old girl."
"She can't even cook. Who will she marry into? Are you going to let her stay at home as an old maid?"
Xu Zijin's mouth twitched when he heard this: If you say so, then girls in future generations... shouldn't get married!
——Is it possible that the reason why so many older single women in later generations cannot get married is because they can’t cook?
The New Year atmosphere in the countryside is so good, even on the Little New Year.
From noon to dark, the sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere.
The Lu family's firecrackers were even louder. Liu Ziwang and his two brothers followed Xiao Liu, shouting and jumping with excitement.
Especially Liu Zilin, that kid ran around the yard several times.
"It's great to have children. It's been years since our family has been so lively. This feels like Chinese New Year."
Mother Lu sighed sincerely.
Xu Zijin knew that the old man missed his grandson.
"Mom, things will get better and better, and there will be more and more people at home."
right.
Things will get better and better in the future.
Mother Lu believes this.
Now that the land has been distributed to each household, as long as you are diligent, your life will get better and better.
"Zijin, you are such a lucky star."
"You entered our Lu family this year. Over the past year, everything has gone smoothly for our family, our family members are healthy, and our fields have a good harvest."
"Compared to previous years, we have really taken a big step forward, all thanks to you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zijin immediately said, "Mom, you can't say that. This is your own blessing."
"Because of your kindness and tolerance, our family is getting better and better."
"You are a blessed person, otherwise how could you raise such an outstanding son like Han Zhou?"
"It's all thanks to you. Let's go. Dad has already paid respects to the ancestors. Let's eat."
There are certain rituals for celebrating the New Year in rural areas. Before eating, three kinds of animals must be placed on the table to honor the ancestors.
What a talkative daughter-in-law.
Good fortune has come to my eldest son, God has finally opened his eyes!
Mother Lu knew that her eldest son was not destined to be a farmer.
But the coincidence is that he has been rolling around in the fields since he was a child.
Um!
Mother Lu believes that now that her son has married such a good wife, things will get better and better in the future, he will definitely do so!
The Lu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner is more sumptuous than other people’s wedding banquets.
Chicken, duck, fish and meat, everything is available.
Father Lu looked at the dishes on the table and picked up the bowl of wine.
"This is the first time in my life that I have such a sumptuous New Year. Big brother, little brother, let's have a bowl."
These days, everyone lives in poverty.
The table on New Year’s Eve cannot be so sumptuous, let alone the Little New Year.
Lu Hanzhou picked up the bowl and said respectfully, "Dad, I toast to you and thank you for your training and education over the years."
"As you please, I'll drink it all."
Looking at his handsome, tall and strong eldest son, Father Lu's face was filled with pride.
He smiled widely, "I haven't had a drink with you in years, and Dad is done!"
The Lu family is celebrating the Little New Year with great joy, and the Xu family, far away in another province, is also celebrating the most prosperous Little New Year in history today.
Although chicken, duck, fish and meat are all cured meats, the branded products produced in this space are extremely fragrant.
Yu Fangfang is a good cook and she made eight dishes and one soup that were all very tasty and beautiful.
Today Xu Cheng called his elder brother and younger brother and took out a bottle of Wuliangye.
"Big brother, third brother, because of their sisters-in-law, we three brothers haven't had a drink together for many years."
"The meat and vegetables on this table were all sent by Jiaojiao, and the wine was given by her husband as a gift."
"I called you here today because I wanted to have a drink with you."
Yes, for so many years, the three brothers haven’t sat together properly.
They were eating at the same table together, right? It was six years ago when their mother passed away?
Uncle Xu remembered that the three brothers had a very good relationship when they were young.
Especially him and his second brother.
The two were only one and a half years apart in age, and they slept in the same bed when they were young until the second brother went to join the army.
He went up the mountain to pick wild fruits and went to the river to catch fish and shrimps. Every day he followed his second brother closely.
He thought that they brothers would always love each other like that.
But everything changed after they started a family.
Thinking of the past, Uncle Xu's eyes turned red.
"Second brother, I'm sorry. Actually, when Second Sister-in-law wanted to adopt me, I was willing."
Looking at his brother's bloodshot eyes, Xu Cheng shook his head: "Don't listen to that woman. I have a son, so what's the point of talking about adoption?"
"Kang'er is very good. I am very satisfied with him."
"His eyesight is much better now. He can see people clearly without glasses. I plan to ask him to learn how to drive after the New Year."
“Although I am a formal employee in a welfare factory, I only earn about 20 yuan a month, which is not enough to support my family.”
"We will all grow old, and he will still be the one to take the helm of this family."
"I have already found a trainer to take him there, and he will go after the New Year."
"If any of you want to learn, I can introduce you there, but the apprenticeship will not be paid for two years."
Two years without salary?
This…this…
Uncle Xu knew that he couldn't make the decision.
"Brother, Kang Kang is going to learn how to drive. What about your job? Don't you want it anymore?"
Originally, Xu Cheng just wanted his son to take a three-month leave to learn how to drive, and then return to the welfare factory to work after he finished learning.
But my daughter analyzed in the letter that it is not enough to just know how to drive, one also has to know how to repair things.
You can't always go to the repair shop when your car has a minor problem.
The highest salary at that welfare factory was only thirty-eight yuan, and the income from driving was not much higher.
My daughter said that there are too few people who can both drive and repair cars, and many companies need such people.
Xu Cheng felt that this made a lot of sense.
He also thought that if his son really lost his job, he could just go to his comrades-in-arms to ask for their help.
"No, this little money can't support the family."
"In the past two years, Fangfang has been working and I still have a salary, so I'm holding on for now."
"When he comes out, life will be better."
That’s true!
Uncle Xu opened his mouth and said, "If he doesn't have the job anymore, Kang Kang won't be able to apply for a house. Where will he and Fang Fang live?"
Xu Cheng smiled and said, "Jiaojiao bought me an old house near the bridge in the county town, and I plan to rebuild it."
ah?
This niece... is she so rich?
