Boss Wang stood at the door of his shop like a clown, watching the passing guests walk into Wu Kee Catering, he had nothing to do.

I don't know when, Wu Daguang walked out of Wu Ji Catering and looked at Wang Ji Catering from a distance, like watching a big joke.

Wu Daguang just watched quietly and didn't say a word, which was enough to make Boss Wang's heart explode.

Boss Wang didn't know why he used the same method as Wu Daguang, but he couldn't pull a guest, Wu Daguang could do it as a hillbilly, why couldn't he do it.

The style of painting changed, Xu Manli carried some things to catch the early bus home, sat for three hours to the town, and walked for several hours on the mountain road back to the village.

Her family is not a wealthy family in the village, but it can also be called a medium level, the fields are self-sufficient, her father usually makes some tofu to sell, plus Xu Manli's salary to the family, the living conditions of the family are no worse than those who have hard work.

Walking to the path in the village, the villagers who pass by occasionally greet each other.

"Manli is home, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've made a fortune in the county. ”

"Manli, I heard that you are a teacher in the county, and your salary is a lot, you are a filial baby, I heard your father say that you give all your salary to the family, such a female baby is more useful than a male baby. ”

In the eyes of the villagers, she has a high salary, a good development, and filial piety, which is full of envy and praise.

When I got home, my father went out to sell tofu, my mother and eldest sister were grinding tofu in the yard, and her adult brother didn't know where to run.

It's rare for her daughter to come back, and her mother was overjoyed, so she pulled her daughter and asked a few words about Xu Manli's recent situation, and after a few words, the words changed, and she was moved to tears: "Manli, you're back, your brother's 2,000 yuan bride price, our family really can't make it up, and your father can't go to you." ”

"Mom, my monthly salary is so little, and I give it to my family every month, where do I still have money, the place where I live now is given to me by others. Xu Manli said bluntly.

Speaking of where to live, the mother began to worry again: "Manli, you have to have a little heart, your father came back and told me, where you live are all big men, don't suffer a loss, you have to look good, you want to develop and develop, you can't be cheap, look for a rich master in the future, you won't have to worry about it in this life, and you can help your brother." ”

In the final analysis, the existence of the two daughters is to live for a son, and the eldest sister is lucky, at least because of family affairs, she is not as tired as Xu Manli.

Xu Manli came back, and the work of cooking at home fell on Xu Manli, as the eldest sister, she also knew that she felt sorry for her sister-in-law.

At lunch, a family of five sat at the dinner table, Xu Manli said that Wu Daguang's store was recruiting small workers, revealing the idea of wanting her younger brother to earn some money to fill the bride price.

"What will your brother do, go and help others, we have to lose money. Dad didn't want to think about it, he refused directly, he was reluctant to let his baby son leave under his nose.

The old lady is the same, reluctant to let her son suffer: "Ade is not material to serve people, I am afraid that I will suffer if I go." ”

The only one who can speak for Manli is the eldest sister: "How old is he, he can't even afford to raise his daughter-in-law, who do you expect to raise his daughter-in-law, I will marry out in the future, at most I will help him." As the eldest sister, she thinks that she has been married to someone else, and she is no longer a member of this family, as long as it does not involve her own interests, she is still very willing to stand up for her younger sister, and the premise is that it does not involve her own interests.

Xu Manli was bored to eat, she should have thought of this result a long time ago, she was used to it, according to what Brother Guang taught her in advance: "You can figure out how to do it yourself, how much salary I have a month, my father knows, go to me on time and on time every month to ask for money, unless I am sold, I can't take out the money, I have already given it to you, you weigh it yourself, and there is one more point, I want to remind you, my brother is married, and there is an extra mouth in the family, you first think about whether you can afford to raise it." ”

When his younger brother Ade heard the second sister say this, he dropped his chopsticks: "Sister, you are so unhappy when I get married, are you unable to marry yourself, and I am angry that I will marry my daughter-in-law." ”

"What do you use to support your daughter-in-law?" Xu Manli looked up and asked her younger brother Ade.

"You don't have to worry about it, I raise my daughter-in-law myself. "It's still a child's tone.

"In China, you raise it yourself, marry yourself first, and then say, I don't care. Xu Manli said without tone.

Ade was even more angry, he thought that the second sister came back to make up the bride price for him, but now it seems that it is obviously not, he stood up, kicked down the bench, and left the house in a huff.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and under the pampering of the family, Ade's approach is childish and makes people laugh, nineteen years old is not young, but there is no trace of growth in him.

The father didn't say a word, he knew that his son was doing too much, but he couldn't do anything, raising children to prevent old age, and counting on his son to support the elderly in the future, the two daughters were going to marry after all, and they were all outsiders in the future, and they were all outsiders.

"Manli, your brother is still young, don't be like him, it's not that our family doesn't have any money, but you still have to think about it. "Dad still wants to pull out money from Xu Manli, he thinks that what is the use of a girl taking money, saving it is also cheaper for outsiders, he has always felt that Xu Manli has her own small treasury.

Xu Manli put down the dishes and chopsticks, and her eyes were red again: "Dad, Ade is not young, he is a person who is going to marry a daughter-in-law, you should learn to live by yourself, you are all old, you can't support him for a lifetime." Brother Guang has already told me that Ade will definitely take care of Ade more in the past. Dad, do you know how much the small workers in their shop can get five or six hundred a month, there is a chef, he has only studied for less than two months, and he has earned seven hundred a month, where is my brother worse than others?"

If you don't persuade, you can use praise.

Xu Manli's father took out a pipe from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it, watching people of the same age as his son start to work for a living, Ade only knows how to play every day, and he is also on fire, but he can't do anything except grind tofu, so he finds him a master who learns the craft, and after two days of disgust and tiredness, he came back. Whenever the people in the village ask why his son doesn't look for a livelihood, he can only use his small perfunctory, and now he wants to marry a daughter-in-law, how can he stand it when he marries.

Xu Manli persuaded hard, the eldest sister fanned the flames on the side, Xu Manli's father's mind slowly shifted, you said, I said, I moved, the premise is that he wants to see how his son works, and he can't stand it.
