Chapter 174: Iron Rooster Plucking
"Why is this girl cooking without moving?" Cheng Mu listened to the kitchen and said worriedly.
"It's hard to be called a meal if it's not a clang!" Father Cheng shook his head and smiled.
Cheng's mother was really not at ease, so she got up and said, "It's too quiet." ”
Cheng Wanyi walked out of the kitchen, stood outside the living room and said a little embarrassed, "Mom, how to cook egg fried rice!" ”
"Oh my God? I also said that I went to my mother-in-law's house to live! Didn't you say that if you hold a cooking book, the whole banquet of the Manchu and Han Dynasty is not a problem, how can the egg fried rice stump you at this time. Aren't you quite capable? Cheng's mother walked towards the kitchen and counted her down. Are you learning in vain in the kitchen these days, and I shouldn't be training you 24 hours a day? I can't do the simplest housework, it's my dereliction of duty as a mother. People won't laugh at you, they will only say that I, the mother, didn't teach you well! ”
"Mom, I'm talking about the special egg fried rice you made!" Cheng Wanyi defended herself, "Who wouldn't know ordinary egg fried rice!" ”
"As long as you talk a lot, come here! See clearly, only teach you once. Cheng's mother chattered.
Cheng's father sat in the living room and listened to his wife's words of reprimanding his daughter from time to time, "Aren't you smart yourself?" Why are you so stupid? Shaking his head and laughing, it can be regarded as letting his wife seize the opportunity.

At the same time, Lu Zhongfu and his wife sat on the bed, calculating their own accounts, this youngest son got married, and spent money like running water, according to the budget, he couldn't overspend.
"How's it going?" Jiang Huifen shook her fan and said.
"How much does a gold ring and a dragon and phoenix bracelet cost?" Lu Zhongfu raised his eyes and asked, "Is a thousand enough?" ”
"Enough, enough." Jiang Huifen nodded busily and said, "The price of gold does not fluctuate much now, about $35 an ounce. HK$4.6 to US$1. That's how it goes. A pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets of more than 30 grams plus manual fees cost about two or three hundred yuan. As for the ring, let's buy a heavy ten grams, which will cost a hundred or ten dollars. ”
"I want to buy you a gold ring for this thousand dollars." Lu Zhongfu said.
Jiang Huifen covered her face with her hands and couldn't believe it and said excitedly, "Oh my God! ”
"This is a reward for your forty years of thrift and thrift." Lu Zhongfu said seriously, "But you haven't done enough, you have to deeply introspect and introspect." ”
Jiang Huifen was happy and said with self-pity, "Oh! Forty years. in exchange for a ring. ”
"It's not good! Then don't buy it. Lu Zhongfu said with a dark face.
"Yes. Yes, no matter how small I want. Jiang Huifen immediately snatched the money, don't let the old man change his mind again and go to waste.
"Mama Ha Yi and Mama Anne. When they entered the house, the family was not rich, and we didn't buy anything for them? What the daughters-in-law have done over the years is in our eyes! Taking advantage of the marriage of Jiangchuan this time, I also bought them a gold necklace," Lu Zhongfu said again. "Jiang Dan is our daughter, it must be indispensable, buy one too. It's heavier. Hedge. ”
Everyone who has come from the war years knows: gold is hidden in troubled times.
"Old man, you are really ...... The Iron Rooster has finally plucked its feathers. Jiang Huifen happily didn't know what to say.
"Don't get too excited, it's just a gold ring!" Lu Zhongfu waved his hand and said, "A gold ring will make you happy." ”
"In this life. It's the first time you've given me jewelry, and you say I'm happy, this time it's the light of my in-laws. Jiang Huifen said happily. Now I can straighten my waist a little in front of my in-laws, she definitely didn't expect it. ”
Every time I meet my in-laws. My mother-in-law always wears gold and silver, and it doesn't matter if she is vain, and she hides her hands under the table in front of her, which is really unpleasant!
"I'm happy today, wife." Jiang Huifen said as she climbed to the bedside table and opened the drawer, took out her nail clippers, hugged his big feet and began to cut her toenails.
"The light is dark! Don't cut my flesh. Lu Zhongfu looked at her excitedly and said uneasily.
"No, I'm not old and dizzy! I can't cut your flesh. Jiang Huifen waved his hand.
But this man really didn't speak, and as soon as his voice fell, "Ouch! Cut the meat, cut it. Lu Zhongfu exclaimed, and quickly got up and broke his feet in front of him, "Look, you still say that you are not old and dizzy!" What it is, here's the evidence. ”
"It's not red, it's not even bloody, what's it called, it's weird and squeamish." Jiang Huifen pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
"You are still reasonable, do you have to bleed to be considered a wounded soldier?" Lu Zhongfu said speechlessly.
"I can't cut it yet." Jiang Huifen pinched her nails and said.
"I'll do it myself!" Lu Zhongfu waved his hand.
"Don't, you sit in the middle of the bed, your cut nails flying, and you don't tie me anymore." Jiang Huifen hugged his feet again and said, "I'll come!" Be careful this time. ”
Jiang Huifen found all the flying nails one by one, picked them up and threw them into the paper basket.
The click sound sounded again, and after a while, both feet were cut, patting the bed, Jiang Huifen got up and was about to go to the bathroom to wash his hands.
I could hear the voice of the land river boat outside the door, "Are you asleep with your father and mother, can I come in?" ”
"Come in! I haven't slept yet! Jiang Huifen said, it seemed that something was wrong, and she sat back on the bed.
Lu Jiangchuan pushed the door in and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm back." ”
"Sit!" Lu Zhongfu sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed and said, watching his son sit in the corner of the bed, Lu Zhongfu asked again, "Send Wanyi home." ”
"Hmmm! Sent back. Lu Jiangchuan replied, pursed his lips and said, "Dad, I plan to go on a honeymoon trip to Taiwan with Wanyi, and I hope to get your consent." ”
"Honeymooner?" Jiang Huifen smiled when she heard this, "It's very fashionable now." ”
"Dad, you also know the nature of my work, often after an operation, four or five hours, seven or eight hours, if the hospital calls in the middle of the night, you have to rush non-stop. I got married once in my life, and I thought about scheduling shifts with my colleagues, taking a week off, and going to Taiwan for a few days. Lu Jiangchuan tried his best to persuade, and the light in his eyes was soft.
"That's it." Lu Zhongfu took out an envelope from the bedside table and handed it to him, "Although you got a full scholarship, you are part-time and studying. But these are the money that I have been paying back since I went to college. I saved it for you without moving, about 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I was thinking of paying for Haoshan and Hao'er. Now you don't seem to need it, so this marriage will be given to you, at your disposal. ”
"Dad!" Lu Jiangchuan was a little at a loss, and there was a tremor in his clear voice.
Lu Zhongfu looked at him happily and poured a basin of cold water down. "Hmph...... Don't be in a hurry to rejoice. You'll have to pay it back slowly, understand? Plan ahead, in case there is something at home, you will use it. ”
"Got it. Father! Lu Jiangchuan's eyes were a little moist.
"By the way, I gave your mother a thousand yuan and asked her to lead you and Wanyi to buy a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets and gold rings, and your two sisters-in-law have been working hard for this family for so many years. I also bought a necklace for each of them, and I can't favor one over the other, so there is also your mother and your sister one each. Lu Zhongfu said one by one. Although there are many places to spend money in the first half of the year, there is also a lot of money to be earned. ”
"Thank you, Dad!" Lu Jiangchuan wiped his face and said.
"Look at your little bit of talent, young man." The corners of Jiang Huifen's mouth raised a curvature, and she raised her hand to rub his head.
"Old woman. Have you washed your hands? Lu Zhongfu suddenly remembered and exclaimed.
"Oops! I forgot, as soon as the river boat came, I forgot about this stubble. Jiang Huifen laughed. Son, you're naked this time. ”
"What's wrong?" Lu Jiangchuan asked inexplicably, "Are my mother's hands not clean?" ”
"Huh...... I was holding your dad's foot and cutting his toenails. Jiang Huifen hooked the corners of her mouth. Honestly replied.
"Yikes!" Lu Jiangchuan stood up suddenly, "Really." "Covering his mouth, he vomited in disgust.
Lu Zhongfu and Jiang Huifen laughed, Jiang Huifen smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to wash it." ”
Lu Jiangchuan covered his mouth and opened the door and rushed into the bathroom.
There was a laugh from the second elder in his ears, huh...... Really, the warm water rinsed my head hard, and I hit the shampoo three times before I felt better.
Jiang Huifen went to a bathroom and washed her hands before returning to her room.
Lu Jiangchuan took a shower and returned to the room, Gu Zhanshuo heard the movement, opened his eyes, rubbed it and said, "Uncle Xiao is back, the wedding dress that my mother made for my aunt on the bed, you can give it to my aunt tomorrow!" Let the little aunt try it on, and you can change it if it doesn't fit. It seems that there is also a bridesmaid outfit......" The voice carried a thick sleepiness.
"Got it." Lu Jiangchuan put the big gift box on the other side of the bed, thinking about giving it to the bride-to-be tomorrow.
"By the way, there is a small gift on the bed, it is my mother who gave you a doll doll is a harmony and two immortals, representing peace and joy, you must be placed at the head of the bed before marriage, and I wish you and your aunt a long and good relationship for a hundred years." Gu Zhanshuo muttered lower and lower, and finally fell asleep.

The next day happened to be Sunday, and this time Lu Jiangchuan, who was supposed to hand over the wedding to the elders and Wanyi, was arrested this time. was twisted by Jiang Huifen and went to the gold shop first, Lu Jiangchuan did not pick a complicated style, and directly chose two pure rings, naked face rings, which were engraved with the English initials of two people. Connect two lovers together, and the world of two people will become a kind of eternity from now on! It is a token of love and fidelity! The perfect testimony of loyal love.
chose a pair of solid dragon and phoenix bracelets, Jiang Huifen chose a ring in the shape of a peony flower with rich flowers, and as for the necklaces of the daughters-in-law, the unified water ripples look good when worn alone, saving money to buy a pendant.
Then sent Jiang Huifen home, Jiang Huifen handed over the two water ripple necklaces to the two daughters-in-law, Chen Annie was surprised, "Mom, who are you?" ”
"This is your father gave me money to buy one for each of you." Jiang Huifen continued, "This is the reward for you to marry in for one or two decades. ”
And he said, "I won't say much if I say more, and I'll wear it with peace of mind for you." ”
"Thank you, Mom." Zhu Cuiyun said with red eyes, in her eyes, the necklace is not important, the important thing is the affirmation of the old man.
Chen Annie is not short of this, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law bought this intention, but gold can't buy it. (To be continued)
