Although Zeng Jun can drink, he thinks about driving later.

He said, "You have to drive, you can't drink." Brothers. ”

"Drink some, rest will be walking. ”

"I really can't drink, I ran a few red lights last time, and if I drink again, I'll be checked, and the points will be deducted, troublesome." ”

"You have to be so polite. I don't want to embarrass you. If you have time, come to our house as a guest. ”

"Okay. There will be opportunities in the future. ”

……

Zeng Jun and Cao Meixuan's brother-in-law had a hot chat.

Cao Meixuan and Mu Mu went to the kitchen, her father was also inside, poured some washing water, saw that Zeng Jun had taken thousands of yuan of cigarettes and alcohol just now, and said to Mu Mu in the kitchen: "Mu Mu, you are too polite, you came here and spent so much money." ”

"I don't know what to buy. My cousin bought some casually. ”

"It's good to come, it's like your own home, just when people come. Cao Meixuan's father said.

"Just buy it. Mu Mu said.

"You go wash your hands first, and then have some snacks. Cao Meixuan's father poured water with a white plastic basin.

Mu Mu took the basin and said, "I'll share a basin of water with my cousin." ”

"His, I'm falling. ”

"No need. I'll take it out. Mu Mu went out with a basin of water.

Cao Meixuan's father ran to the kitchen door to help Cao Meixuan's mother get food.

In the kitchen, Cao Meixuan's sister was helping with the cooking and asked, "Sister, what kind of business is Mu Mu's cousin, so generous." I bought thousands of yuan of cigarettes and alcohol for my father, and 800 yuan for several children. ”

"He is the owner of chain stores, hotels. Chess and cards. Cao Meixuan helped add firewood.

"No wonder. It's the first time he's here, and I'll wait for him to get a red envelope back. Her sister said.

"How much are you going to pack?" Ms. Cao said.

"At least 800 yuan. Her sister wanted to return the 800 yuan to Zeng Jun. That is, according to the rules here, he is a guest for the first time, and at least a gift of the same value will be given to him.

"I'll give it to you. You're running out of money for the New Year. "Cao Meixuan knows her sister's conditions. If you have money, you won't run here during the Chinese New Year.

"You're still studying, where is the money. ”

"I helped out at his guesthouse during the winter vacation and gave me some money. ”

"How many?" said her sister.

Cao Meixuan said very directly: "I don't count." Wait a minute, I'll give you 2,000 yuan. Is it enough for the New Year?"

"That's about enough. ”

……

Her sister is under a lot of pressure, raising four children, and building a house, where is there any savings.

Even if 2,000 yuan is not enough, it will be used.

While chatting, Cao Meixuan's younger brother walked in, holding a red envelope in his hand, and said, "Eldest sister, second sister." That little uncle gave me a red envelope. ”

"The money you give is set aside for tuition. Don't mess around. Cao Meixuan said.

Cao Meixuan's sister saw that Mu Mu hadn't come in yet, and asked softly, "How much?"

Her brother looked at it and said, "600 yuan!"

"This little uncle is very generous. Cao Meixuan's sister said.

While chatting, I saw Mu Mu coming in from outside.

Mu Mu walked to the kitchen, saw Cao Meixuan adding firewood, and said, "Strawberry, I'll help you." ”

Cao Meixuan saw that the clothes on Mu Mu's body were so expensive, for fear that the fire would burst out and burn the clothes.

"I don't need you, I changed into a coat, for fear of burning my clothes, this wood-burning stove, it is easy to damage clothes. ”

Not only is it easy to burn clothes, but plant ash also floats everywhere. It's just that sometimes I don't look closely and I can't feel it.

Cao Meixuan's sister saw that Mu Mu was dressed so beautifully, put down the shovel in her hand, and asked, "Mu Mu, the clothes on your body are very good, how much does it cost?"

"It's not a lot of money, a thousand dollars. Mu Mu didn't want to say too much.

"A thousand pieces, it's not much. "Cao Meixuan's sister has been reluctant to buy such expensive clothes since she got married.

Cao Meixuan saw that her sister was just chatting, and urged: "When will the glutinous rice cake be ready?"

"Right away. When you're done, get an egg and put some rice wine, and you're good to go. Her sister was unhurried.

There are two pots on the stove, the front is boiled with boiled glutinous rice cakes, and the back pot is filled with water. When the dumplings are cooked, scoop them up and put them in a bowl, then boil the eggs in the pot.

Break the eggs one by one, put them in boiling water, and if the fire is big enough, cook them for a minute or two.

Shovel the boiled eggs in a bowl, then add the rice wine and add some sugar.

"All right. Cao Meixuan urged.

"Alright. Serve it out and let your brother-in-law accompany Mumu's cousin to eat. Her sister said.

Cao Meixuan held two or three bowls of glutinous rice cakes on a wooden tray and shouted, "Dad, have you made melon seeds or something?" Eat a snack. ”

"That's it. It's in the cabinet under the TV. ”

"You and Mom come for a snack. Cao Meixuan said.

"You and your brother-in-law take them to eat. Your mom and I were cooking. Wait and start stir-frying and eating. The rest are bacon, preserved fish, and fried vegetables for dinner. ”

"Uncle, aunt, don't make so many dishes, you can't eat much. Mu Mu walked to the kitchen door.

"Not much. You go for a snack first. Cao Meixuan's father said.

Cao Meixuan's mother has high blood pressure and can't do heavy work, so she can't speak loudly, so she has to whisper, "You go eat first." ”

"What about you!" asked Mu Mu.

"You go eat. Cao Meixuan's father urged.

Mu Mu turned to leave, and then went to the table in the living room, where the four children gathered around, clamoring for snacks.

Cao Meixuan's brother-in-law was worried that the children would be noisy, and said, "Cao Meixuan, you take them to your sister's side." ”

"Eat one piece. Be hilarious. Mu Mu said.

"There are so many children that sometimes I can't take care of them. Cao Meixuan's brother-in-law said.

"You raise four children at once. It looks like it's hard. Mu Mu said.

"No way"

……

Cao Meixuan wanted to keep a few children from arguing, and she helped them get whatever they wanted.

But I was still very obedient and obediently accompanied everyone to finish the snack.

After eating, Cao Meixuan cleaned up the table, and the rest of the people walked out of the living room and continued to bask in the sun outside.

Sitting on a bamboo chair, basking in the sun, comfortable.

Zeng Jun saw that Cao Meixuan's house had not been renovated, red bricks, and the ground was still cement, uneven. Only the windows on the first floor are installed, and the windows on the second floor are not installed.

Looking at the children around her brother-in-law, they are a little afraid of marriage.

People work hard all their lives, marriage is a big deal, raising children is a big deal, building a house is a big deal......

"How many children, can you usually bring them over?" Zeng Jun asked Cao Meixuan's brother-in-law.

"Usually the eldest goes to school, the second and third go to kindergarten. It's that the fourth child has to be taken down. Just get used to it. It's that you have to get used to it slowly at the beginning, and when they learn to walk, they will slowly become more relaxed. As long as you are healthy, you can only take your time. ”

"I still admire you. Zeng Jun said.
