The coat worn by the catechist was stained with mud and looked like a flake of snowflakes printed on it.

He went into the room and changed into a coat, but it was still old, just cleaned.

When he walked out of the room, Mu Mu stood in front of the car and saw that the clothes he was wearing were at least five or six years old.

When she was in high school, she saw him wearing it. I'm about to graduate from college, and I'm still wearing it on my body, which is really frugal.

"Abba, my cousin sent you a new dress last time, why didn't you wear it?"

Mu Daorong closed the zipper and said, "Keep it for the New Year." Whatever you want to wear at home. ”

Mu Muhao wanted to say: I will go to the street tomorrow and buy you a few more.

If you think about it carefully, you still can't say it, because now I am studying, and buying a few coats to wear in winter will cost thousands of yuan in the countryside.

If the family asks where the money comes from, how should they answer?

I can't help it!

Now the down jackets in the countryside are not much different from the consumption in small cities. Now that the part-time workers are back, they will buy one or two clothes for their families when they see the Chinese New Year. This merchant grasped the psychology that people who came back from work must buy, so they sat on the ground and raised the price.

Mu Mu also wanted to respect filial piety, but he still retreated for the time being. It seems that the time has not yet come.

Now it's not because of lack of money. was worried that there was too much money, so he pulled out Qin Jifan behind the scenes.

When the time comes, I will be questioned by my family, and I can't explain it clearly, this is a big New Year, and it is important to be happy.

Whatever I buy for my family now, I am buying it in the name of Zeng Jun.

As long as Zeng Jun promised not to tell the secret, the family didn't know that there was such a thing.

"I can't help you. Hurry up and get in the car. Mu Mu urged.

Mu Daorong buttoned a button on his chin, saw Ye Minghong open the car door, and said worriedly: "Old Ye, won't you get motion sickness when you ride in the car?"

"At such a close distance, open the windows and drive slower, it should be fine. Ye Minghong said.

"Why don't I walk with you? Not far anyway. Mu Mu said.

Zeng Jun smiled: "Just such a little distance, you shouldn't have to worry about motion sickness." ”

……

Mu Mu knew that no matter how short the distance was, for Ye Minghong, she would get motion sickness, as soon as the car started, the whole person would be dizzy. Wait until you still have the appetite to eat! Originally, it was hard to go home for dinner, and the family must be lively.

Ye Minghong is only used to taking tricycles, motorcycles, etc., except for trains, she can only take cars without roofs.

In the end, Zeng Jun drove back alone, Mu Mu accompanied Ye Minghong, and Mu Daorong walked over.

Mu Mu's left hand held Ye Minghong's right hand, and Mu Daorong followed behind them.

There are occasional acquaintances passing by on the road, seeing that Mu Mu is dressed so beautifully, some people also deliberately slow down their pace, and set up almost, just to understand how old Mu Mu is, what he is doing at the moment, and whether he wants to talk about marriage.

In rural areas, local people marry a daughter-in-law, even if the man and woman know each other, they will find a middleman to have a good time, this middleman, in the countryside, the woman is called the matchmaker, the man is called the matchmaker, and sometimes the matchmaker is also collectively referred to as the matchmaker. Maybe it's the local custom.

The purpose of this is nothing more than the things that are difficult for both parties to talk about, and they are conveyed through matchmakers. For example, when encountering a sky-high bride price, the children reach the age of late marriage, it is difficult to find a partner, etc. If the parents of both parties are not easy to talk about, they will convey and negotiate through a matchmaker.

People who often work as matchmakers, in the village, everyone knows each other, and when they meet such an upright person as Mu Daorong, they are directly rejected by him.

When the matchmaker walked away, Ye Minghong said: "You always speak so directly, just say that the child is still studying, and the marriage will be talked about until you graduate from college!"

Mu Daorong said: "I want to marry in another county." It takes half an hour by car and an hour by motorcycle. They don't talk to us anymore and don't bother to talk to ......."

……

Mu Mu was worried for a while, marrying to a neighboring county, his parents had a dispute for a long time, if he married to another province, it is estimated that the dispute scene would be more intense.

Now that I think about it, I'm a little afraid of marriage. If there is an extra brother, or an extra brother, maybe the parents will not have disputes over where she marries.

Mu Mu also knows that he can mention anything at home anyway. Only she can't mention the matter of marrying into this village. At the slightest mention of it, her parents' tone of voice became louder.

Mu Mu also knew that Ye Minghong was not unable to give birth, but missed the age at which she wanted to give birth.

Listening to Ye Minghong, not long after getting married, Mu Mu's grandfather borrowed money from the bank, and after he died, a large amount of money owed fell on Mu Daorong.

Originally, it was not easy to get married in the countryside, and it was not easy to get a bride price, and I borrowed a lot of money, I thought that I would get married, one more person, and one more strength, but who knew that her grandfather died......

owes so much money, lives a tight life, and Mu Mu was born and has so many diseases, and the money for treatment is all borrowed by relatives.

……

The pressure is too great, and there is no stable income, where do you dare to give birth, and when you come over, your parents are past the best age to give birth......

In the end, he still didn't give birth and went to the ring.

Mu Mu heard the serious argument between his parents and persuaded: "Abba, Grandma, you can rest." I came back just to have a reunion dinner with you. ”

With such a simple sentence, Mu Daorong changed his tone and smiled softly: "Don't make noise, don't make noise." Wait until you graduate. ”

Ye Minghong changed the topic, touched the embroidered down jacket on Mu Mu's body, and asked, "When did you buy this dress?"

"Last time my cousin gave me a little money, and I gave me a scholarship, I went to buy it. Mu Mu said.

Ye Minghong asked again: "The clothes your cousin bought are so expensive." ”

Mu Mu didn't dare to tell the truth, because she was wearing the clothes that Qin Jifan bought, and said, "Our clothes are all about the same price." Last time I did the activity. I bought it together. ”

"The clothes you picked out are still relatively good-looking. Looks like the quality is pretty good. ”

Ye Minghong wore such an expensive down jacket for the first time, and when she sent it back last time, Mu Mu said that Zeng Jun paid for it, seven or eight hundred yuan a piece.

In fact, Mu Mu worked hard to make money to buy, and the ones she bought were all well-known foreign brands, not that she admired foreigners, but in general, individual foreign brands were indeed genuine. It will not be like a certain domestic brand, which always exaggerates the advertising slogan, in fact, the clothes are average, which is no different from false publicity.

Besides, Gancheng is relatively wet and cold, and the down jacket that Mu Mu bought for Ye Minghong will not hide water.

And wash and wipe it, it is especially resistant to dirt and does not stain dust.

The clothes were very good, but she still took off the collar label and washing label. So the people around me can't see the price.

Besides, people who have never bought high-end brand clothes don't know the price at all.

"When I make the money, I'll buy you some better ones. ”

Ye Minghong smiled: "It's okay to keep warm, it's not easy to make money." Most of the jackets in the family are tens of yuan a piece. However, it just can't be washed, and if you wash it, it will shrink into a pile. ”
