So in the next few days, the Xu family was busy.
The Xu family set up six tables, and basically every family in the village sent a representative. Although they had many disagreements, they were from the same village after all, and they would see each other every day, so at least they had to spend a dime.
But these are a minority. Everyone knows that Xu Meili married into the city, and her in-laws are very powerful. They all have different ideas, and many of them spend two, three, or five cents.
People like the team leader, the village accountant, those with whom we had particularly good relationships, and relatives all spent one or two yuan.
Old Mrs. Xu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She got the money back and made 20 yuan, which she could use to buy a pair of thermoses for her daughter.
Finally, the day of Xu Meili's wedding arrived.
"Mom, I'm leaving. You and Dad have to take good care of yourselves from now on." The person Xu Meili was most reluctant to leave was the old lady.
"Meili, please come back often to see me. I miss you." The old lady couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
In the past, she always added new members to the family, but this was the first time she was sending someone away, and it was her most beloved daughter. The old lady felt very sad.
"Mom!" The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
"Hey, Meili, please don't cry. Your makeup will be ruined if you cry." The eldest and second sister-in-law came over to persuade the two.
"Yes, don't cry. My daughter looks her best today. She can't make herself ugly by crying." The old lady wiped her daughter's tears.
"The groom is here!" The yard outside was very lively and full of people.
The firecrackers rang out and the groom's wedding party arrived.
Xu Meili was picked up by the Gu family wearing the clothes, shoes and watches bought for her by the Gu family.
Watching her daughter walking further and further away, the old lady couldn't stop crying.
The daughter really doesn't belong to her anymore, she is someone else's daughter-in-law.
…
Two branches of flowers bloom.
Xu Meili from the Xu family came later and got married before Jiang Yuxiu from the Jiang family.
After the Feng family came to propose marriage last time, Feng Xuan came and went in and out of the Jiang family openly.
"Mom, I bought you a piece of meat." Feng Xuan came to Jiang's house carrying two pounds of meat.
"Feng Xuan, you don't have to buy anything for us, just come."
Although Jiang's mother had complicated feelings towards Feng Xuan, his marriage with Yuxiu had already been decided, so she had no choice but to accept it.
You can't always give people a bad look.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yuxiu felt embarrassed seeing Feng Xuan coming to her house every few days.
"I'm just looking at you...you guys."
Feng Xuan is very excited as he is about to get married.
"Your wedding is almost here, these two days won't make a difference." Mother Jiang couldn't help but say.
This Feng Xuan is really clingy.
"Mom, the meat today is delicious. How should we eat it?" No matter what you say, Feng Xuan doesn't care.
Jiang's mother was speechless. She had never seen anyone with such a thick skin.
This man is her uncle.
“Braised!”
"Hey, thanks, Mom."
"Ouch." Feng Xuan howled in pain.
"You're calling too early."
Jiang Yuxiu really couldn't do anything about Feng Xuan. They hadn't even gotten married yet, but he was already calling her "Mom." He was so smooth, even more affectionate than she was. If you didn't know him, you would think he was Jiang's son.
"It doesn't matter whether I wake you up early or late. Our mom cooks delicious food." Feng Xuan was thick-skinned. He knew that Jiang's mother didn't like him, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He felt like he was at home in the Jiang family.
"Mom, this is a letter from my younger sister. Take a look and see if she is coming back." Jiang Peng brought back a letter.
"Oh, there's a letter from Yuzhu." Mother Jiang hurried out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and quickly opened the letter.
Jiang Peng sat next to Jiang's mother and read the letter together.
"Mom, is Yuzhu... coming back?" Jiang Yuxiu was very nervous when she heard that the letter was from Jiang Yuzhu.
He clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, staring at Jiang's mother's expression.
"My younger sister is pregnant and can't come back." Jiang Peng shouted loudly.
Jiang's mother's ears were buzzing from the shock, and she angrily hit her son a few times, "Keep your voice down, I haven't finished watching it yet."
"Oh my! Thanks to the ancestors, I have another grandson. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
"It's been a month, there should be some reaction, right? Is the reaction serious?"
"These two children don't know anything, and there is no elderly person around to take care of them. Oh..." Although Jiang's mother was happy, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that there was no one around to guide the two during pregnancy.
"Then...how about...bring my little sister home to take care of her." Jiang Peng also missed his little sister.
My younger sister has joined the army now. Without her in-laws to look after her, how can she take care of herself?
She has been spoiled since she was a child.
When Jiang Yuxiu heard what her mother and elder brother said, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Even if she's not pregnant... Yuzhu probably won't want to come back.
Feng Xuan felt Jiang Yuxiu's emotions and held her hand.
"What do you mean by bringing him back?" Father Jiang came in pushing his bicycle and parked it in the yard.
"It's Yuzhu, she is pregnant, we have a grandson!" Mother Jiang danced with joy.
"Really? Let me see!" Father Jiang took the letter and read its contents carefully.
"Well, that's good, but...it's okay for Xiaolei to be in the army, but what if he's away on a mission?"
Father Jiang knew that as a soldier, Xu Lei could not stay in the army all the time and be on call at all times. He had to set off when told to.
What will my daughter do when the time comes?
"Why don't I go over there and take a look? I wonder how the two kids are doing. Are they living well? Are they preparing the autumn vegetables?"
Mother Jiang was worried that her little daughter knew nothing and had no food to prepare for the winter.
"What are you talking about? Yuzhu is still pregnant. It's okay. You can go there for a while when she is more pregnant. You can take care of your daughter during the confinement period. Why go now?"
"Yuxiu is getting married soon, and she has a lot of things to do. Let's take care of things here first." Father Jiang glanced at his second daughter's expression, afraid that she would think too much.
It's not that they, as parents, are biased and don't care about her.
Yuzhu's situation is different. It is not easy to be a military wife. Yuxiu has a husband's family, but Yuzhu has no one around her.
"That's right. I'll wait until Yuzhu is more pregnant before taking care of her. It just so happens that Yuxiu's matter has been settled long ago." Jiang's mother also nodded.
"Mom, you can't be too partial. You go and take care of my little sister during the confinement period. Our Yuxiu is pregnant, you can't just ignore her." Feng Xuan knew what his wife was thinking, so he naturally fought for her.
"Oh, look at what you said. Yuzhu and Yuxiu are both their parents' daughters, so why are you partial to them?" Jiang Peng doesn't indulge his brother-in-law Feng Xuan.
Mother Jiang looked at Feng Xuan and Jiang Yuxiu, "Feng Xuan, of course I know this. I'm hurt by your pain, but Yuzhu is married far away and is a military wife. We're worried that no one will take care of her."
"Yuxiu is different. She lives nearby. Besides, there are you and your parents. None of you are freeloaders. To be honest, it's not our turn to think about it. If it really doesn't work, her elder sister can be used when I'm not at home. There is always someone who can be used. Yuzhu and Yuxiu are in different situations. You can't say I'm partial."
