Mucheng District is a district of Yancheng, located in the easternmost part of Yancheng, adjacent to Haicheng City.

Today is New Year's Day, which is generally called the Gregorian year in rural areas, and when we enter the Gregorian year, there will be some atmosphere for the New Year. The road where Tang Ding drove, the road was full of lights, and it was hung up by the government to celebrate the New Year.

Uncle Ding Weicai has been working since more than 20 years ago and moved to live in Mucheng District.

The house I live in now is a two-bedroom and one-living room house.

Ding Weicai's house is very lively today, because his son, who works in Kyoto, has come back and brought back the local daughter-in-law he is looking for. Everyone knows that Kyoto people are arrogant, but why are they arrogant, because they feel that except for Kyoto, the rest of the people are countrymen.

Working in Kyoto and being able to find a local daughter-in-law is also Ding Weicai's proudest thing anyway.

Today, Ding Weicai's family invited guests to dinner, firstly, to celebrate New Year's Day, the brothers and sisters got together, and secondly, he was going to officially open his mouth to borrow money from his two sisters.

When Tang Ding's family came, Ding Caixia's sister Ding Caiyun's family had already arrived, and when they saw Tang Guoqing and Ding Caixia coming in, they all stood up and greeted the two, "Sister, brother-in-law." ”

"This is Tang Ding's girlfriend?wow, what a handsome girl!" Ding Caiyun shouted in surprise when he saw Xing Muliu who was following Tang Ding.

Xing Muliu nodded with a smile, "Auntie, sister-in-law, uncle." ”

When Ding Caixia entered the door just now, Xing Muliu heard everyone greeting each other, so he quickly sorted out the relationship between the family.

"This girl is so nice. Ding Caiyun praised from the bottom of his heart, "How did Tang Ding, this kid find such a good girl? ”

Ding Caiyun took Tang Ding and Xing Muliu's hands and told with a smile.

A half-grown boy came out from behind Ding Caiyun, "Auntie, aunt, brother, sister-in-law." ”

This half-grown son is called Wei Bin, the youngest son of Ding Caiyun, who has just graduated from junior high school and is attending a technical school. Ding Caiyun also has a daughter, named Wei Rou, who is studying in college in other places and has not yet had a vacation.

Xing Muliu heard Wei Bin call her sister-in-law, her face was red, but she was beautiful in her heart.

"Don't stand at the door, sit, come, drink tea. "Ding Weicai is quite enthusiastic this time, because he asks for people.

When I entered the house, I saw a girl sitting on the sofa who looked at the ground coldly, presumably the daughter-in-law of my uncle's family! Next to him, Tang Ding's brother, that is, Ding Weicai's son, Ding Peng, saw Tang Ding's family coming, and only cared about pouring tea and water for his girlfriend, as if he didn't see Tang Ding's family.

"This is Xiaoting, Ding Peng, give your aunt and sister-in-law, introduce Xiaoting, I'll go to do the cooking first. ”

"This is Liu Xiaoting, my girlfriend. Ding Peng generally introduced a sentence in response to business.

How could Liu Xiaoting be happy? From coming all the way from Kyoto to a small city like the countryside, to such a narrow house, and having to deal with relatives and friends like the Riba people, all this made Liu Xiaoting depressed.

These are not counted, I don't know where to find such a beautiful model girlfriend, compare yourself, Liu Xiaoting is now wondering if this family is deliberately humiliating themselves.

Of course, no one will deliberately humiliate Liu Xiaoting, although Ding Caixia asked Tang Ding to take Mu Liu to come, it is not without pride, but it is too much to say that humiliation and showing off this.

Tang Ding and Xing Muliu sat on the chairs, because there was not enough space on the sofa, Ding Peng and Liu Xiaoting, who had a gloomy face, occupied a large sofa, and no one wanted to sit next to her.

"Tang Ding is really out of luck! We haven't gone to see it yet, it's true. Ding Caiyun blamed himself a little.

"Caiyun, you and Wei Qiang are also busy, we all know it, so I just made a phone call to tell you not to come. When Ding Caixia came back from Tang Ding, she specially called her brother Ding Weicai and sister Ding Caiyun. Ding Weicai just responded lightly, "I know." Ding Caiyun was very happy to hear the news and wanted to come and see, but was stopped by Ding Caixia, because Ding Caixia knew that her sister's family worked, and there was no holiday at all.

"By the way, is Wei Qiang still in his original unit?" asked Tang Guoqing.

"I resigned, the current unit is in a recession, and when I am busy, I recruit temporary workers, and when I am not busy, I let these temporary workers leave, which has not been in the unit for less than a year. Ding Caiyun said, "But it's much better now, Xiaorou will graduate soon, and I heard that she is now working on her thesis." Xiaobin will have an internship in two years, and the burden on us will be more relaxed. ”

"Caiyun, I've been suffering you for so many years. Wei Qiang looked at Ding Caiyun apologetically.

A few years ago, Wei Qiang was resigned by his boss since he injured his leg, and he was recuperating at home, and the burden of the family was on Ding Caiyun, who had to earn money to support his family and take care of Wei Qiang. In the past two years, Wei Qiang's legs have recovered a little, although his walking is a little sloppy, but his basic life has not been affected, and he began to look for work.

However, now a large number of able-bodied people are unable to find work, and where can he, a disabled person, find a job?

finally raised Wei Rou and Wei Bin as adults, Wei Rou is about to graduate, and Wei Bin also went to a technical school, so the burden on the family is much less.

"Wei Qiang, don't go to work, do some small business yourself, right?" Ding Caixia proposed.

"Do I do it? I haven't done any business. "Wei Qiang is not confident in himself now.

"No, Wei Qiang has worked in the unit all his life, he is too honest, he is not a businessman. Ding Caiyun is the person who knows her husband best, "Actually, it's not a problem for the two of us, what I'm most worried about now is Xiaorou and Xiaobin, now that the employment pressure is so great, it's not easy to find a job." ”

"Tang Ding, aren't you short of people? Your sister is studying finance and accounting, and she is a college student, let her go to you, right?" Ding Caixia said.

In fact, Tang Ding is also short of people, it is no problem to arrange a few people, even if it is no problem to feed a few people for nothing, the most important thing is that Tang Ding still wants to see the temperament of Wei Rou and Wei Bin.

After all, I haven't seen him for six or seven years, if it's someone like my brother Ding Peng, Tang Ding would rather give some money at one time and let them do what they should do.

Some people don't know how to be grateful for the kindness of their relatives, but instead toss people, feeling that their relatives should be good to them, which is not to correct their position.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you go to me, I happen to be short of people, and when Wei Rou and Wei Bin graduate, you can also go. ”

"Forget it about me and your brother-in-law, he has bad legs and feet, don't delay your business. ”

"It's okay, I'm doing property, and my legs and feet are not delayed. Tang Ding could tell that Auntie was still quite interested in this work.

"I can clean or patrol, but I'm afraid of affecting the image of your company. Wei Qiang was obviously also a little moved.

"It's okay, it just so happens that I am also short of people, and my sister-in-law will help me when he goes, I can't always be in the company, I always have to have a family member to help take care of it." ”

"Alright then, I'll give it a try. Wei Qiang looked at Tang Ding with a grateful face.

"Yo, my brother is out, you let the brother-in-law go, you will give you a few thousand yuan a month?" Ding Peng said coldly.

"The company has a charter for the salary, and how much it should be. "Tang Ding doesn't like this brother Ding Peng very much.

In the past, Tang Ding couldn't play with his uncle's brother Ding Peng, but now he sneered at himself, in front of so many relatives and friends, he ignored his family and only cared about serving his cold-faced girlfriend.

"Haha, sister-in-law, I think you better not let the sister-in-law go, and then let the family drive back, so that the relatives are not relatives, and the face will not look good at that time. ”

Tang Ding was just about to teach his cousin a lesson, when Ding Wei came over and called everyone to eat, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

At the table, the family toasted together to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, but Liu Xiaoting had a cold face and did not eat or drink water.

After three rounds of drinking, Ding Wei spoke, "Everyone also knows, our family Ding Peng is going to settle in Kyoto with Xiaoting, the house in Kyoto is expensive, with Ding Peng's salary of less than 10,000 yuan a month, when can he afford to buy a house?

"Big brother, you also know that our family Tang Ding has just come back from the south, and he hasn't saved any money in the past few years, so I can only give you 20,000 yuan at most. Ding Caixia said.

"Eldest sister, what you said, the house you bought in the bay is the best corner of Yancheng, and I'm afraid it will be no less than two million plus decoration, right? You live in such an expensive house, can't you help your nephew?" Ding Weicai's daughter-in-law was very dissatisfied.

"You can't say that, the house was bought by Tang Ding, and you should have seen the life we have lived in the past few years, and you should know if you have money or not. Ding Caixia is very dissatisfied with this brother and daughter-in-law, and most of the relationship between herself and her brother is now because of her brother and daughter-in-law.

"Eldest sister, look at what you said, Tang Ding's money is not your family's money, our family is embarrassed to speak, according to me, I have to let your brother borrow you five or six hundred thousand. ”

"Shhhhhhhhh I have saved 20,000 yuan for a long time, although it is not all the property of my family, but it is also most of the property, I thought it was enough to take out this money, but I didn't expect her to have such a big appetite?

"His sister-in-law, you are Peng Peng's sister-in-law, how much money do you plan to take out to help your eldest nephew buy a house?"

"Ten thousand, my family only has so much money. ”

"10,000 yuan, sister-in-law, are you kidding, I heard that Wei Qiang was hospitalized back then, and you took the initiative to send 10,000 yuan to your sister, and now Wei Qiang is also at work, Wei Rou and Wei Bin are also about to go to work, you only paid 10,000, you really call us Huazi!"

"In the past few years, Wei Rou and Wei Bin have both gone to school, and the expenses are also large, and my family is also very tight. ”

"Gotta get it, I think you really don't want to be with our family? ”
