Chapter 166: Stay away from right and wrong
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Yuyin's family of three came over to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Baiquan and Zhu Linglong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The old couple gave Mei Xiang a ten-yuan red envelope (in fact, it is a red envelope, there is no finished red envelope at this time, they are all wrapped in red paper, and the locals call it a red envelope), Liu Yujin and Wang Hongying are also ten yuan red envelopes. During this period, the red envelope is usually one cent or two cents, and only if there is a good one, there will be five cents or one piece, and they will give a huge amount of money.
Zhang Mingfeng secretly opened it all behind his back and took a look, and when he saw that all of them were ten yuan, he pursed his lips and put them in his pocket quickly. This is the first time since she married into the Liu family that she has given her something to her parents-in-law, eldest brother and sister-in-law, but she has not cursed or abused behind her back. Last year's Chinese New Year, the four adults gave Mei Xiang two yuan, she was too little, she was not happy, and cursed Liu Baiquan and Liu Yujin while holding the red envelope: No matter how much money you earn, you will take medicine. Of course, Liu Baiquan and Zhu Linglong don't know, if they do, I'm afraid that they will vomit blood in anger, and they won't give a cent this year.
Zhang Mingfeng got the red envelope, so he instructed Liu Yuyin to tell Liu Baiquan and Zhu Linglong that he wanted to go back to Zhuangzi to pay New Year's greetings to other people's homes (in fact, she had already paid New Year's greetings in the morning, and she just didn't want to stay here longer). She didn't want to stay longer, Wang Hongying still wished she could get out quickly, with her there, Wang Hongying felt that the atmosphere in her house had become dark and dark, which was depressing and uncomfortable.
As soon as the family of three left, the people of Lao Zhuangzi came over one after another to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Baiquan and his wife. These people are not like Zhang Mingfeng's mentality, when they saw the big courtyard, their eyes were full of anger, and they were full of praise for this big courtyard: "Roar! I know that the old Jiang family has a big yard and many houses, but I didn't expect that when I came in to see it, the yard was even bigger!"
I heard that this little Zhuangzi had divided more than ten acres of land!"
"The Jiang family is not an ordinary family at first glance, no matter adults or children, they are all glamorous, and men's faces are whiter than women!"
"I've heard about it, too, and it seems like a big official! No, as soon as the matter is over, everyone will leave, and such a good house will be gone. ”
"If you don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense, why don't people want it? Is this a good thing that Brother Yu Jin bought for 9,000 yuan!"
When I passed by here before, the door of the Jiang family's courtyard happened to be open, and I took a look at it at the time, and I felt that it was not like this!"
Liu Baiquan nodded and replied: "Why haven't you changed it? In order to change this house, I have found several masters, and I have been busy for a year! It has cost thousands of yuan." ”
Liu Xiaoman, who was standing in the crowd, shook his head: "A few thousand yuan is enough to build four or five brick houses, but it costs so much money to renovate this house, it's not worth it." ”
There are also a few who think that Liu Baiquan is bragging, no matter how bad he vomits in his heart, but he is hidden in the crowd with a smile on his face. Liu Baiquan didn't care about everyone's reaction, and responded to Xiaoman's words with one mind: "Hey, (three sounds)! This money is worth it! This house has been changed well, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it can keep warm! Our room can still burn a fire, it is hot at night, and it is not cold at all when we wear single clothes." He just listened to his little granddaughter talk about insulation, in fact, he didn't know what insulation, but he knew that it was warm in winter and cool in summer.
These half-southerners had never seen a kang or fireplace in the north, so it was very strange to hear that a fire could be burned in a room.
"Can there be a fire in the room?
Liu Baiquan hurriedly brought a large group of people to his room and invited everyone to see the fireplace that was burning with a small fire.
Someone reached out and touched the windowsill, "yes! It's so hot up here! If you put this dress on it, you can get up in the morning and wear it, it's so hot." ”
"We just don't put our clothes on them, and when we get up in the morning and wear them, it's hot. "The whole room is hot, can the clothes not be hot?!
The people from the Liu family who came to pay New Year's greetings took a look at the toilets and showers curiously after walking around the few rooms that could be walked around. When they saw that there was also a fireplace in the bathroom, even Liu Baixiang, who had always been very dismissive (Liu Lairong and Liu Laizhu's poor and exquisite grandfather), couldn't help but say: "Eh, second brother, your bathing room is well done, and you can take a bath in winter without hurrying." Don't be afraid of the water cooling quickly, taking a shower is like a war, in a hurry. ”
Uncle Liu Lairong was more concerned about the child, and hurriedly said: "This bathing room is really good, and you don't have to worry about the child getting cold and sick when you bathe the child in winter." This year, after spring ploughing, I will also find someone to do a ...... at home."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that his family was not in charge of his own house, and immediately continued: "Make a bath room like this, my uncle and my mother will be happy to take a bath in winter, and the old man is most afraid of catching a cold and getting sick." ”
Liu Baixiang, who was originally glaring at his son with a cold face, softened his face and brought a little smile.
Everyone has finished reading everything they can see, and even if they think that some places are really good and convenient, they still don't feel worth it or don't believe that they have spent thousands of dollars.
Liu Yujin was busy bringing cigarettes, tea, sweets and pastries out to entertain people, and he didn't answer a word about what they asked, and his uncle dealt with it all.
The children are simple, although Zhuangzi is small and has no place to play wildly, but the purpose of their visit today is not to play, but to eat jubilant sweets and delicacies only once a year.
The Liu family earns more and more every year, and the sweets and pastries they get for the children who come to visit the New Year are also more and more advanced year by year. Even apples, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, and mangoes, which rural children have never seen before, can take one or two of them out for the children to eat this year. The adults looked at them in a daze, there were a few fruits they had never seen either, they didn't know what to taste, but they were embarrassed to grab food in the hands of the children, since the surplus money was not given to them adults to eat, it is estimated that there is not much.
Many people are secretly lonely in their hearts, this Liu Yujin is already a cut above them, and he can't catch up with them!
Wang Hongying knows that the family of Benzhuang who comes to visit the New Year at home on the first day of the new year every year has to eat Chinese food at home. Lao Hai and his wife said hello early, and after going to Laozhuang to worship the New Year, they also came over for dinner. She went into the kitchen early, busy with the meals of almost four tables, just enough to avoid the women in the Zhuangzi who were from the east and the west.
It's not that she looks down on her when her family is doing well, but mainly because a few daughters-in-law are going to turn their mouths and flirt with her. I don't know when, it will get dirty things on you, and people can't prevent it. Therefore, she obeyed her mother-in-law's words and stayed away from those daughters-in-law as much as possible, so that they couldn't get contaminated if they wanted to.
