Near noon, the two went home together.

Zhou's mother had already cooked the noodles, and Zhou's father, who had just gone out to work in the morning, also came back at the dinner table.

"You really haven't talked about marriage plans?"

Mother Zhou asked again at the dinner table without giving up.

"Aunt, I'm working hard now, everything is waiting for Zhou Ling's consent. ”

Zhou's mother turned her inquiring eyes to Zhou Ling, and Zhou Ling hurriedly explained, "The two of us want to wait until it is a little more stable." ”

At least until she gets a job.

Otherwise, the money will be tight after the wedding, and the expenses after the marriage are not a small amount.

"What is there to stabilize? Could it be that Rong Zheng has no money on hand?"

Zhou's mother was not satisfied with this answer, thinking that Rong Zheng had no money, so she couldn't hold the wedding.

"Auntie, I have more than 100,000 deposits in my card. ”

Receiving Zhou's mother's questioning gaze, Rong Zheng hurriedly took out a bank card to explain.

Zhou Yiran sneered, and snatched the bank card in Rong Zheng's hand, "You said that you have it, otherwise why don't you get married for so long?"

He obviously thought the same as his mother, and decided that Rong Zheng had no money in hand.

It is estimated that it is a house bought with a loan, and now it is poor and white.

"If you don't believe me, check the card with me and see if I'm lying. Rong Zheng anxiously explained.

He didn't want Zhou Ling's family to think that he was incapable of taking care of Zhou Ling, he was working very hard now, and he believed that he could take care of her by doing it.

"Just go. ”

Zhou Yiran was not convinced, thinking that Rong Zheng might not have any money, his tone was not so good.

So the two of them stood up, and Rong Zheng carried Zhou Yiran to the town to check the card.

After the two left, Zhou's mother immediately blamed: "Since he has no money, what are you going to do with him?

"I don't even have money for a wedding banquet, do you want our family to be embarrassed in the village?"

Father Zhou also continued, his tone stern.

"Dad, we don't mean anything else, we just don't think it's the right time. ”

Zhou Ling smiled bitterly, looking at his parents' dislike for Rong Zheng, and felt ashamed.

"I'm telling you, if he really doesn't have any money, I can't agree to you two. ”

It is impossible for her to let her daughter marry and endure hardship, and she will have to follow a man with no savings.

"You're not too young, and I'm ashamed to say it. If this person is not good, you should listen to your mother's return, and she will introduce you to one here. ”

Zhou's mother persuaded Zhou Ling bitterly, and seemed to have determined the fact that Rong Zheng had no money.

Zhou Ling pursed her lips and was silent, it was useless for her to say anything now, she could only wait for Rong Zheng to come back, and everything would be understood.

About an hour later, the two returned.

From Zhou Yiran's polite smile again, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother had probably guessed what was going on.

"Mom, my brother-in-law didn't lie, he did have hundreds of thousands of deposits in his card. ”

Hearing this, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their gaze at Rong Zheng also improved a lot.

Looking at the sudden attitude and happy expression of his family, Zhou Ling only felt that there was a stone blocked in his chest, which was very unpleasant.

She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't wait to leave with Rong Zheng in shame at this moment.

But she couldn't.

The people in front of her are her parents, the people who gave birth to her and raised her.

She doesn't have the right to do so.

Under the table, Rong Zheng secretly stuffed a piece of candy to Zhou Ling, and squeezed Zhou Ling's hand comfortingly.

Zhou Ling raised his face, his face was a little ugly, but it spread out a lot.

She expressed her gratitude with her eyes, and then told her family about her plans.

"Mom and Dad, I want to move my hukou out. ”

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother smiled happily, "Why did you move your account out?"

Zhou Ling took a deep breath, "The two of us have thought about it, the house has been bought there, and we will definitely live there when we get married in the future." When the hukou is moved, we will get married. ”

Zhou Ling has thought about this matter carefully.

Of course, there are also some selfish motives.

Only she moved her hukou out alone, Rong Zheng married her, and her hukou naturally came in.

The matter of black household registration has always been Zhou Ling's heart disease, and she is worried that it will affect Rong Zheng's future.

Father Zhou was silent for a while, and then nodded after smoking a cigarette, "You will also use it when you have a child in the future, so move out." ”

I don't know why, after saying this, Zhou Ling felt that his father's expression was even more tired.

If you look closely, my father's sideburns have increased a lot of gray hair in the past two years, and his back is not as straight as before.

Beckoned Zhou's mother to take out the household registration book at home and give it to Zhou Ling, and told her some things.

After eating, the two simply packed up and prepared for the return trip.

Before leaving, Zhou's mother handed Zhou Ling a package, her wrinkled hands patted on the bag, and there was a desire to speak in her eyes, but in the end she only said, "Live a good life in the future." ”

At this moment, Zhou Ling couldn't bear to look at her mother's vicissitudes of life.

She was afraid that she couldn't help crying, and she didn't want to leave because she couldn't help it.

The cloth wrapped was blue and floral, and she remembered that her mother had been frugal since she was a child.

At that time, there was a garment factory next to the entrance of the village, and waste cloth was discarded every day.

At that time, my mother would go with others to pick up cloth and make many things out of it.

Her winter shoes, her school bag, her sleeve covers, and even her clothes were all sewn by her mother with stitches and threads.

One of the most common colors is this blue floral.

The cloth looks a little old with a few more patches on it.

Come to think of it, the garment factory moved away when she was in high school, and her mother never picked up free scrap cloth again.

On the co-pilot, Zhou Ling put the package on his lap and didn't dare to open it for a while.

Fine stitching was only available to her mother, so when she was a child, her little shoes and schoolbag were the most beautiful, and her clothes were the neatest and cleanest.

Her mother's hands are skillful, this is the consensus of the people in the village.

Eventually, she carefully unwrapped the knot.

The blue floral cloth was spread out on Zhou Ling's legs, and neat gross tickets were stacked inside.

From one to a hundred, it can't, it's a whole thick stack, not even a single corner, it's clean and neat.

Zhou Ling couldn't hold back any longer, and cried bitterly on these gross tickets.

She could even imagine her mother sitting in the light and counting the tickets one by one.

She understands that these gross tickets are not easy to come by, and her mother occasionally takes on some factory jobs in addition to housework.

After so many years, although she will send money home after her job is stable, how can her mother, who has worked hard all her life, want to be idle?

How much handiwork does she have to do to save back this money little by little?
