Chapter 109 This Man is Responsible
This is really what you fear.
Song Mo and Wen Kexin were shocked.
Song Mo had no problem with the leader and his wife, but he was not fond of the old and young people in the Wang family.
I secretly felt lucky that I had found out what happened on the train and knew the young wife's attitude towards the naughty kid and the old lady.
I didn't like the grandparents in the first place, and now I want to stay away from them even more.
Besides, getting married in the army will definitely cause gossip.
He just wants to contribute wholeheartedly and doesn't want to be suspected.
Thinking of this, he politely refused: "Leader, my wife is young and not married yet, so it is not appropriate for her to be a godmother."
"What's inappropriate? After you recognize your godfather and godmother, our two families will be closer, and Xiaoxu will be able to honor you when he grows up."
It's obvious that what will happen when you grow up is just a rosy picture!
Song Mo only wants to make a living by his abilities, and doesn't want to rely on connections to develop.
He quickly came up with a good idea and said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness, but there is a custom in our hometown that if a couple has not given birth to a child, it will affect their future offspring if they recognize a godparent."
In fact, there is no such statement at all.
This must be said in order to dispel the leader's ideas.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Deputy Brigade Commander Wang had to give up the idea of recognizing him as a godparent and said generously, "If that's the case, forget it. I will let Xu'er remember who saved his life."
Wen Kexin tried her best to downplay the rescue incident, "Leader, there were many people who rescued Xu'er this time, and I was just one of them. To be honest, I was just cheering on the sidelines. Xu'er was frightened quite a bit, so let's not add psychological pressure to the child."
"My sister-in-law always thinks about the children. My husband and I accept this kindness. If you have any problems in the future, please come to me. I will definitely help you if I can."
Wen Kexin smiled and nodded, "Maybe I'll trouble you if I need anything in the future."
Deputy Brigade Commander Wang realized that the girl was just being polite.
He stopped while he was ahead and said considerately, "It's getting late. You and your sister-in-law have been on the train for so long. You should go to bed early. My husband and I should go back."
Song Mo looked at the things they brought and said with a headache: "Leader, you are too polite to bring so many things. We are a small family and my wife can't stay here for a few days. How about this, we accept some and you can take the rest back to feed the elderly and children."
Deputy Brigade Commander Wang said sincerely: "We still have these things at home. They are not only food, but also supplies that can be stored for a long time. They are all gifts from my husband and me. After all, we are a few years older, so it's nothing for an elder brother and his wife to give some gifts to younger brothers and sisters."
Having said this, Song Mo and Wen Kexin looked at each other and had no choice but to accept it.
I muttered to myself: I can only find an opportunity to return the favor later.
From beginning to end, Xuer's mother had a gentle expression, which showed her status in the family and her usual habits.
Wen Kexin quickly thought of something and said, "Wait!"
She quickly went to the kitchen, wrapped the bacon prepared by Song Mo in oil paper, took out two bags of brown sugar and a pound of White Rabbit milk candy, put them in the basket they brought and handed them over.
"This is what I brought from my hometown. It's a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Deputy Brigade Commander Wang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "That's... okay."
The couple went back carrying the basket.
After seeing the guests off, the two opened the package curiously.
Two boxes of cakes were found; two pieces of cloth; two pounds of wool; and a pair of gold bracelets in a paper package.
These gifts include food, clothing and daily necessities. The other things are fine, but this pair of gold bracelets is too valuable.
Wen Kexin muttered to herself: This is the military unit, a sacred place, how can it be mixed with the smell of money?
Besides, she had no shortage of gold in her space, so she sighed and said, "This... I don't want to accept such a valuable gift, how can I return it in the future?"
In Song Mo's mind, the young wife likes money but is not greedy, which makes him feel comfortable.
"There is always a chance. Gold is not too expensive now, only about ten yuan per gram."
Although Wen Kexin knew that gold was cheap in this era, she didn't know it was as cheap as more than ten yuan.
In other words, this pair of gold bracelets costs about two hundred yuan.
It’s about the same price as a watch or a bicycle.
"When Xiaoxu or the old lady has her birthday, we will give her a gift, such as a watch or something. Don't owe them a favor. It will be awkward if you don't see them when you look down and see them when you look up."
Song Mo was even more satisfied and said, "I know what's going on!"
Wen Kexin asked doubtfully: "By the way, what are they thinking? Why do they want to be godparents?"
Song Mo thought for a moment and said, "Now is an extraordinary period. The leaders are under a lot of pressure. They may want to win me over."
So that's how it is!
Then you should find an opportunity to return the gift.
"By the way, I think Xiaoxu's mother is very beautiful. Is she also from the countryside?"
"She is not. I heard that her family used to be a private enterprise that was jointly owned by the public and private sectors. They were very wealthy. Later, before her parents made mistakes and were sent down to the countryside, they couldn't bear to see their daughter suffer with them, so they asked someone to introduce their daughter, who was not yet of marriageable age, to Leader Wang."
Wen Kexin suddenly realized, no wonder the woman was so low-key.
I wonder if the old lady’s flamboyant personality will cause trouble for her son?
Although the grandparents and grandchildren have unpleasant personalities, Wen Kexin doesn't want anything to happen to them.
Just get through these two years.
He yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, let's take a rest."
She took off her coat and trousers, pulled the quilt over her bed and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that I made a lot of money picking herbs. I returned the fifty yuan you gave me last time to your mother. Your mother refused to take it, and I said it would be used as tuition for the two children when they go to school in the fall. I also took my second sister and her husband to pick herbs, and they also made more than fifty yuan... Unfortunately, all that money was borrowed by your eldest sister."
Song Mo was grateful that his young wife not only earned money herself, but also helped his second sister to make money.
He decisively took out a wad of money from the drawer and said, "Wife, this is my two months' salary, and the reward for this mission is all for you. When you go home, remember to give your mother 15 yuan a month, a total of 30 yuan for living expenses. In the future, most of my salary and rewards will be given to you."
This man performed well!
After counting the money, he asked in surprise, "So much?"
"Normally there aren't so many. Isn't this a mission reward? You should keep them all."
"Do you have any pocket money?"
Song Mo shook his head and said, "No, I eat in the army, and my clothes are all issued to me. I don't smoke or drink, so I don't need pocket money."
Wen Kexin complained in her heart: Isn’t this idiot very smart? Why are you being so stupid?
She counted the money and found there was more than two hundred yuan.
She said angrily, "Although you don't need pocket money, you still need to socialize. When I have time, I'll buy you a watch and use it as a favor to the Wang family. Keep this thirty yuan in a drawer at home, so you don't have to worry about not having money."
Song Mo was touched, his young wife really loved him!
I quickly thought of something and said, "Wife, after buying the watch, won't the money I gave you be left with nothing?"
"Isn't money meant to be spent? Oh, by the way, do you know how much money I made from collecting herbs?"
Song Mo said righteously, "Wife, all the money you earn is yours. I am a man and should support the family. I said at the beginning that I would give you 10 yuan pocket money every month plus the cost of supporting the family after you marry me. But in the past few months, you have been the one who has been earning money to support the family. I'm sorry!"
These words made Wen Kexin very satisfied. This man is responsible!
