Chapter 559: The Cooperation of the Young Couple
Although no one has lived here for a long time, a group of people come to clean up the place every two or three months.
When the neighbors nearby asked the cleaners about the condition of the house, they found out that they were all deaf and mute.
Those who were more alert quickly noticed something unusual and never came forward again.
After all the trouble, all those who had planned to do so were successfully prevented from making their move.
Because of this, Li Zhongye and Dong Yujuan had just arrived in Beijing and only needed to do some simple packing when they moved in.
Now the old lady saw obvious signs of human activity in the yard, so she stepped forward decisively to join in the fun.
The first thing that caught my eye was the young couple standing at the door. After looking carefully, I didn't feel familiar with them at all. I just thought they were the younger generation of the buyer's family.
Realizing that there would be no excitement to watch, he prepared to turn around and leave, and thought about how to spread the word to the people nearby that this small courtyard that everyone was thinking about was now occupied by someone.
Who would have thought that while I was thinking, I saw a couple walking out of the house through the open gate. The more I looked, the more familiar they seemed.
Although we haven't seen each other for twenty years, we were neighbors for quite some time before that, so I have some vague suspicions about each other.
With a tentative attitude, he stepped forward and shouted, "Yujuan, are you and your wife back?"
Because the sound was made suddenly, all four people in the courtyard looked over at the same time.
The old lady immediately realized that her action was a bit presumptuous, but the advantage of being thick-skinned was revealed.
Instead of saying goodbye and leaving, he simply walked forward and explained symbolically: "Oh, it really is you two.
If we old neighbors count carefully, we haven't seen each other for twenty years. When he left without a word, our neighbors were very worried for a while.
I am a little excited to see you again now. ”
These words are just for listening. It would be foolish to take them seriously. But I didn't step forward to expose them directly.
In this situation, it was not appropriate for Li Zhongye to step forward, and Li Lu and Jiang Tao were even less suitable to come forward, so Dong Yujuan undoubtedly went out to greet her with a smile.
"I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't tell anyone."
"Hey, I'm being polite. It's been so long since we last met, I'm afraid you might have forgotten who we are.
My husband’s name is Cao Xiaobo, and I am Lin Chunmiao.
When you were five or six months pregnant, you came to my house to exchange eggs. Even though food was in short supply, my family gave it to you at a price lower than the black market price. ”
Li Lu also understood what was going on, and made a preliminary assessment of the person from just a few simple sentences.
She quietly pulled the hem of Jiang Tao's clothes, and when she saw him looking at her, she quickly winked.
Li Lu: This person likes to take advantage of others, and he looks like he can't keep secrets, so you can take advantage of him.
Jiang Tao: My wife is very capable, I listen to her.
Li Lu: Behave well later, we are filial children.
Jiang Tao: Got it, I will ensure to complete the task.
The young couple only realized at this moment that this courtyard was actually the residence of the Li couple before they went to Shanghai.
Li Zhongye listened to the two people's greetings for a long time. He was very afraid that the other party would say something unfavorable to his family, and he wanted to go forward and pull Dong Yujuan back.
What I didn’t expect was that the first old neighbor I met on the second day after returning was actually a famous loudmouth in the neighborhood.
In the past, no matter which family had a quarrel, Lin Chunmiao would get to the bottom of it as soon as he heard the news, and then there would be no one in the area who didn't know what happened in that family.
Seeing that Mr. Li, who was so good at suppressing his emotions, now had a constipated expression, he thought that the ability of the lady opposite might be stronger than he expected.
He immediately said enthusiastically: "Dad, is this aunt an acquaintance? If you meet your old neighbor, you must have a lot to talk about. Brother Tao and I will not disturb you here today.
After all, the next one has to go back to school, and the other one has to hurry back to the army.
Especially him, he was able to come here because he heard that you two elders had arrived in Beijing. Etiquette should be observed, but discipline must also be followed. ”
As he spoke, he took the net bag from Jiang Tao's hand and handed it to him.
"This is his first time visiting the Yue family, and he brought these things to honor the elders."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chunmiao was immediately attracted by the word "things". His eyes were like radars, accurately locking onto the location he was looking for. He then walked a few more steps towards the gate of the courtyard without making any sound, thus going deeper into the melon-eating front line.
In the middle, he did not forget to look up at Li Lu, perhaps wondering why the girl looked more handsome and beautiful than her parents. But upon closer inspection, he did not see any resemblance between her and Li's father and mother.
I must have been a little shocked, and couldn't help turning my head back and forth between the father and daughter, and the mother and daughter.
Finally, she came back to her senses when Li Zhongye coughed lightly, and awkwardly made amends for her previous action: "Oh, this is the child that Yujuan was pregnant with back then, right? She's so pretty, and at first glance, she has all the good qualities of you and your wife."
Jiang Tao was shocked at once, and wanted to ask the old lady, "Listen to what you said." Does my wife's appearance have anything to do with those two?
Lin Chunmiao didn't care about the reactions of the crowd and simply changed the subject: "This young couple is really filial. Look, they took so many good things at once.
Especially canned meat. I heard from others that it is a special supply for the army and cannot be bought outside. ”
Even though he had expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with his wife, he had not yet thought about how to "add fuel to the fire."
At this moment, an idea suddenly came to my mind.
He smiled and took over the conversation: "Aunt, you are too kind. Isn't this what we, the younger generation, should do?
Although my family took care of everything from the beginning to the end, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were still present on Xiaolu's wedding day.
I also got to meet them for the first time as I wished.
However, I was busy with the wedding at that time, so the etiquette was not very thorough.
I came here specially today. Even though I know that my parents have always refused to let me go to Shanghai to formally meet their parents, I have already come here and it would be unreasonable not to visit them.
Isn't it normal to bring something?
After all, I gave my wife 50 yuan as a dowry, which was much more than I expected.
My family gave a betrothal gift of 999 yuan, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law had no problem accepting it, as it was a thoughtful gesture. ”
As more and more news came out, Lin Chunmiao, who was standing next to him, had a strange look on his face at first, but then his expression turned into a satisfied one as if he had gotten some good news.
When he looked at Li Zhongye and Dong Yujuan again, he no longer felt the joy he had at the beginning when he met acquaintances, but instead felt a hint of contempt.
Realizing that Jiang Tao had revealed almost everything that could be said, Li Lu stepped forward in fear and trepidation to stop him.
As a husband, he cooperated with his wife and ended the conversation immediately.
"Looking at me, I thought my aunt looked friendly, and knowing that we were old neighbors of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I couldn't help but say a little more."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the Li couple and said, "Mom and Dad, please accept the things with peace of mind. I will take Xiaolu away first."
At this point, Li Zhongye understood that there was no way to keep her by force, but he finally found Li Lu, and there was not much time left in the deadline given by Xiaoban Luchuan, so he had to pretend to keep her, but in fact he just wanted the other party to give a definite answer.
