Chapter 509 An unexpected person has arrived
I got too many things from my second sister.
Xu Zilan refused to take it: "Second sister, I have clothes, and you have given me four or five sets."
"I have too many clothes and I can't wear them all. No need, no need."
Xu Zijin glared and said, "Those are my old clothes. We are getting married, so we need new ones. Let's go."
Without further ado, he dragged her to the women's clothing section.
Xu Zilan knew that her second sister really wanted to give it to her, so she chose a low-priced spring and autumn coat.
But Xu Zijin was not happy: "Choose a better one, this one is too bad."
"Miao Miao, bring me that rose-red nylon jacket and black polyester trousers, both in size medium."
Seeing that Xu Zilan was only willing to choose cotton clothes, Xu Zijin could only help her choose.
Xu Zilan pursed her lips and tried to stop him, but Xu Zijin pulled her over and said, "Of course I have to choose the clothes I gave you."
“You only get one chance to make it in life, so don’t treat yourself badly.”
The whole set would cost more than fifty yuan. Xu Zilan felt a lump in her throat as she held the clothes.
Fifty or so yuan in this era is equivalent to five or six thousand yuan in later generations.
Zhou Jianyong had just been promoted to deputy battalion commander, and his current monthly salary was only ninety-one yuan.
This set of clothes is half a month's salary for him.
The second sister was really generous to her.
Clenching her fists, Xu Zilan secretly swore in her heart that she would be nice to her second sister in the future.
At 11:40, Xiao Mingjian carried a bag of clothes and put it in the trunk of the car.
"Let's go eat."
The state-owned hotel is not far from the clothing store, just a ten-minute walk away.
There was not enough space in one car, so everyone walked.
Xiao Mingjian was really generous. He ordered eight dishes and one soup, including four meat dishes.
Looking at such delicious dishes, Zhou's father and mother didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks, so Xiao Mingjian had to keep picking up food for them.
After dinner, Zhou Jianyong said he wanted to go to the department store to take a look at the three-wheel-drive store.
Xu Zilan looked at him with a blushing face and said softly, "I have a watch. It's a new watch given to me by my second sister. One person can't wear two."
"I don't have any use for sewing machines or anything like that because I have to focus on the tea garden."
"If you must buy something for me, why don't we go back to the supply and marketing cooperative in town and order a bicycle."
But Zhou's father and mother refused.
Father Zhou patted his patched shirt pocket and said that he had brought money and would give what was due.
Zhou Ma also said tremblingly: "I can't let you down, Zilan."
"You're a good girl, we have to give you some face."
"When you return to your parents' home in the future, if others know that your in-laws didn't give you anything, they will look down on you."
"No matter how poor I am, I can't let my daughter-in-law lose face."
Looking at her future mother-in-law, Xu Zilan smiled: “I’m so far away from home, who knows if I have it?”
"Aunt, our lives will get better and better."
"When we have money, we will buy something better in the future."
Xu Zijin knew that Xu Zilan was reluctant to let Zhou Jianyong spend money, and she understood her cousin very well.
So he suggested, "Well, I have a bicycle ticket, let's go to the department store and buy a bicycle now."
“I prefer a tricycle, though.”
"Lan Zi, if you're not in a hurry, I'll have someone send you one from Guangdong Province. That one doesn't even require a ticket."
Xu Zilan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Is it the kind that Sister Xiumei bought?"
Xu Zijin nodded: "Yes."
Xu Zilan decided: "Okay, let's buy that one. Second sister, thank you for your hard work."
"Jianyong, that car is a little more expensive, but it is very practical. It will be very convenient for transporting things in the tea garden in the future."
"I don't want anything else."
The latter sentence was directed to Zhou Jianyong.
Such a good girl...marrying into a poor family like mine...it's really unfair to her.
Zhou Jianyong secretly vowed to be good to his wife in the future.
At the same time, I have to work harder so that she won't regret marrying me.
If you don’t buy anything else, everyone will come back.
I got home at half past four.
When getting off the car, Xu Zijin took out a bag from the trunk and handed it to Zhou Jianyong.
"These are the cotton sweaters and trousers that were left over from last year's sale. Some of them have holes in them, so don't be disgusted."
Zhou Jianyong didn't say anything. He knew it clearly in his mind that his sister-in-law's store had just opened, so where did the leftovers from last year come from?
He knew that this was a gift from his sister-in-law and was afraid that he would not accept it, so he said this on purpose.
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
Xu Zijin smiled: "No need to thank me, don't worry or feel burdened, you are Hanzhou's brother."
"Take good care of your parents. It's rare for them to come out. Take them around the army."
"good."
Zhou Jianyong walked away with a bag of clothes, feeling a sour nose.
Xu Zijin walked in, but didn't expect Lu Hanzhou to be at home.
"Huh? Why are you back at this hour?"
Lu Hanzhou was wearing an apron and busy: "I caught a wild rabbit in the vegetable garden and I just skinned it."
Xu Zijin opened his mouth and said, "Wow, I didn't expect to have such a good time today!"
"You prepare it, chop it into pieces, and we'll have spicy rabbit tonight!"
"good."
Lu Hanzhou liked to see his young wife's eyes light up when she talked about food, and he instantly felt more energetic.
In the evening, the whole family ate a pot of spicy rabbit and their mouths were greasy.
Some people couldn't sleep at night, so they started exercising as usual.
After so much exercise, Xu Zijin fell asleep and woke up the next morning to find his butt was exposed to the sun.
"Sister-in-law, my brother bought some vegetables and put them in the kitchen."
"The rice is in the pot. Do you want me to take it out for you?"
Looking at Lu Yulan, Xu Zijin blushed, and she said in a panic: "No, no, you don't have to care about me."
"We have guests tonight, and I have to go buy some food later, so you stay at home."
"OK."
I can't help much now, but I can still look after the house.
Lu Yulan agreed immediately.
But she was a little confused. What happened to her sister-in-law?
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu arrived.
Zhou Jianyong drove with Xu Zilan to the train station to pick her up.
What Xu Zijin could never have imagined was that Xu Ziju followed him!
Deputy Political Commissar Mao and his wife were still at work. Uncle Xu and his wife got out of the car and went to Xu Zijin first.
As soon as I got off the car, I could only hear Xu Ziju's voice...
"Second sister, this place is so nice!"
"Second sister, this army is so big and so clean!"
"Ah, it's totally different from our village!"
"Please help me find a job. I'm not going back!"
Xu Zijin seemed not to hear it.
Xu Zilan was really a little unhappy.
She never expected that her parents would bring Xu Ziju here!
This scumbag woman who seduced her ex-husband in her previous life wants to stay... I'm afraid she doesn't want to find something to do, but wants to repeat the same mistakes?
——Don’t think she didn’t notice it in the car just now!
When Xu Zilan thought of how Xu Ziju stared at Zhou Jianyong in a daze just now, she felt sick.
She cursed in her heart: What a shameless person!
Judging from his appearance, Zhou Jianyong is not as good as Sun Zhigang.
However, in terms of height and temperament, Zhou Jianyong's upright posture makes him look like a real man.
Moreover, he was a state cadre who was paid by the state, and his identity was more attractive than that of Sun Zhigang, an ordinary worker.
Xu Zilan knew that this man was much better than her now, but someone like Xu Ziju could only dream about him.
