Chapter 321: Good Daughter-in-law
Chapter 321 Good daughter-in-law
At noon, fine snow particles rose in the gloomy sky, and the cold wind raged and covered the ground with a layer of silvery white. [Full text reading]
The weather is getting colder.
The interior of the house is filled with a warm atmosphere.
Because of the arrival of Li Shan and Xu Fengzhi, the family ate hot pot at noon today.
Since the last time Ma Liang came back and went to his uncle's house in Central China City with his mother, his aunt Xu Fengzhi no longer has the arrogant appearance of no one in the past, and she often takes the initiative to remind her husband to visit her sister Li Mei's house on weekdays......
It is naturally the best thing for the two relatives to be harmonious.
However, Li Shan felt a little awkward in his heart - his wife was really embarrassing to him, if it weren't for Ma Liang's acquaintance with the son of the city director He Hongchun, and now that he has some income and can earn money, I am afraid that his wife Xu Fengzhi would never take the initiative to interact with Li Mei's family so actively.
"Xiaoqiong, the first time we met, this is a little bit of my aunt's heart, you must accept it!" Xu Fengzhi generously took out a red envelope and handed it to Wu Qiong.
Wu Qiong hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, no." β
"It's all as it should be! You're welcome, ah! Xu Fengzhi said with a smile, with an atmospheric face.
Li Mei nodded towards Ma Liang.
So Ma Liang smiled and said, "Xiaoqiong, accept it, don't refuse your aunt's wishes." β
Wu Qiong had no choice but to take the red envelope with a red face, and said timidly: "Thank you...... Aunt. She couldn't scream.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, hehe." Xu Fengzhi had a satisfied smile on her face and praised: "How handsome this girl is!" Like a movie star, Xiaomei, Mingquan, you are blessed...... When I go back, I have to urge our family to be strong, and he should find a girlfriend, and our family's conditions are not bad. β
Everyone at the table smiled and nodded yes.
In the red envelope, it is 2,000 yuan...... Not to mention that in the countryside, even if it is placed under the economic conditions of an ordinary family in Central China, as an aunt with such an identity, it is absolutely reasonable to take out 1,000 yuan as a gift for the first meeting.
After lunch.
Xu Fengzhi took Wu Qiong to the bedroom to chat - this is also the habit of rural people, after dinner, the old men are outside, and the women will go to the bedroom to chat, especially when they meet the new daughter-in-law, the ladies and children who are elders will naturally look more and more enthusiastic.
Originally, Wu Qiong still wanted to discuss with Ma Liang in private, but her aunt gave the gift money for the meeting, should we, as juniors, give back some gifts?
But there was no time at all, and as soon as he finished eating, he was dragged into the house by Xu Fengzhi to talk about homely things.
Naturally, Xu Fengzhi asked about Wu Qiong's family situation.
Wu Qiong's personality is not good at talking, and she has always been used to not mentioning the actual situation of her family to her classmates at school. Therefore, when answering Xu Fengzhi's question, he still simply said vague and polite words such as "My parents are doing business in Beijing, the family conditions are average, and my younger brother and I are still in college...... and so on
If Li Shan hears this kind of remark, of course, he will not casually underestimate it -- Beijing is full of businessmen with millions in their hands, and more than 10 million is not an unusual person.
But Xu Fengzhi, a girl who has never seen the world, is a little disappreciative after hearing it.
She originally liked to show off, but she was narrow-minded and jealous.
The reason why she and Ma Liang's family moved around frequently during this period of time and seemed to be full of family affection, and she even took out a red envelope of 2,000 yuan, but because Ma Liang had a good relationship with the director's son, and she was also thinking about what happened to the company one day, maybe she would need Ma Liang's help.
Now seeing that Ma Liang has found such a beautiful and temperamental girlfriend, Xu Fengzhi's jealous heart is a little unbalanced.
However, Wu Qiong is Ma Liang's girlfriend after all, so Xu Fengzhi is not good at saying anything excessive, but after inquiring about Wu Qiong's family situation with the concern of an elder, she began to show off the scale of the fashion decoration company run by her family, which is developing, etc., and did not forget to praise her nephew Ma Liang, but at the same time of praise, she brought her son with her by the way.
Xu Fengzhi said: "Liangzi, this child, and his cousin Xinqiang, oh, it's my son, he is just as promising!" It's just a good son, it's not as bold as his cousin, who dares to do it, no, now he can take care of the company in an orderly manner, and he doesn't need his father to worry about it. Liangzi is a sincere child, that is, he has a ready-made job, and he can do it honestly and let the boss appreciate it! That's not bad, I've discussed it with his uncle and his cousin, thinking that I want Ryoko to come to work in our company, it's all my own family, it's better than others, right? β
Joan nodded in response, a little confused, she didn't understand why this aunt was telling her these words.
Could it be that the women and elders in the countryside are chatting like this?
After Xu Fengzhi said something, he said: "Hey, if your family proposes to let Liangzi buy a house in Beijing, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult, I heard that the housing prices in Beijing are quite expensive, seven or eight hundred thousand or even more than one million, right?" But it doesn't matter, when the time comes, if it really doesn't work, we will lend him some money first, all of them are our own relatives...... Don't worry, ah! β
"Thank you, aunt, we don't have to worry about the house, it depends on where Ryoko is willing to buy a house." Wu Qiong replied shyly - she is kind and honest, although she doesn't like Xu Fengzhi's nagging words, but out of politeness, and Xu Fengzhi took the initiative to lend money to Ma Liang to buy a house, Wu Qiong felt that Ma Liang's aunt was very good, but her mouth was a little broken.
Seeing Wu Qiong's attitude, Xu Fengzhi became more and more jealous of Ma Liang, thinking how good it would be for such a good daughter-in-law to marry my family's Xinqiang.
In fact, just think about it, Xu Fengzhi herself knows that she can't think like this, let alone do anything else.
But her temperament belongs to the kind of eight women who can't control their mouths and can say whatever they want, so they opened their mouths and began to say: "My Xinqiang is a few months older than Liangzi, and he is taller than him!" Now it's in charge of such a big company, don't you know, Xinqiang's kid has a big heart, and he still wants to expand the scale of the company, saying that he will go to Beijing next year to develop......"
"Well, that's good." Wu Qiong said perfunctorily, the more she listened to it now, the more annoying she became.
Xu Fengzhi has always spoken with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and suddenly said: "Hey, how much money did you give you when you came to Liangzi's mother this time?" β
"Huh? No. Wu Qiong shook her head.
"Look, didn't I say that they do things like this? No matter how difficult it is at home, you can't give up this little money, you still have to spend it, I'll talk about it for you in a while, how can this work......" Xu Fengzhi pretended to be serious, and said: "If our family Xinqiang has a girlfriend, I will have to give at least 5,000 yuan when I come to the house for the first time!" β
Speaking of this, Xu Fengzhi also puffed up his chest and stretched out a slap.
Wu Qiong became more and more disgusted, this ...... Why is Ma Liang's aunt so virtuous?
However, because of the identity of the elder, Wu Qiong didn't know what to say, just frowned slightly, thinking of finding a reason to leave.
It just so happened that Li Mei walked in with a smile and a fruit bowl, on which were a few peeled apples. She just cleaned up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs outside, walked in and closed the door and said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoqiong, you eat apples." β
"Hey, good!" Xu Fengzhi replied with a little weakness and took an apple, and did not forget to take one for Wu Qiong.
"Thank you." Wu Qiong thanked her, then looked at Li Mei with some surprise and said, "Auntie, I don't know if the coat I bought for you when I came here is suitable or not, and you didn't try it......"
"Ah, what's suitable or inappropriate, it's good, it's good." Li Mei said with a smile.
"Take it out and put it on, try it, and if it doesn't fit, you can change it." Wu Qiong put the apple aside as she spoke, got up with the shame in her heart, and stepped forward to hold Li Mei's arm, looking extremely intimate.
Wu Qiong only wanted to divert the topic quickly, and she really didn't want to listen to Xu Fengzhi's bragging.
As soon as Li Mei saw Wu Qiong's intimate appearance, she was immediately so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and nodded busily: "Okay, okay, then try ......."
As she spoke, Li Mei walked to the wardrobe and took out the dark green coat.
Wu Qiong followed with a slight red face, helping Li Mei put on her coat like a virtuous little daughter-in-law, and helped tidy up her clothes in the dressing mirror. This move can make Li Mei feel a little dizzy with happiness - this, this is the daughter of a rich family to me, no, no, my daughter-in-law is helping, more than my daughter-in-law.
"Yo, this dress is beautiful, how much did you buy it?" Xu Fengzhi also stepped forward and touched the material of the coat.
However, a nouveau riche housewife like Xu Fengzhi who has no taste naturally can't figure out the fabric of the pure sable collar and alpaca coat, but she feels that the fabric is soft and smooth, and the workmanship is fine, which should be a high-end product. Xu Fengzhi smacked her tongue secretly, it must be worth more than a thousand yuan, right? This girl is really generous enough, the first time she came to see her parents, she bought such expensive clothes, and the family conditions should be good.
Li Mei smiled happily and said, "I didn't bother to ask, Xiaoqiong, how much did you buy this dress?" β
"It's not expensive, it's more than 9,000 ......"
"Huh?" Li Mei was taken aback.
Xu Fengzhi was also stunned on the spot, with the current conditions of their family, although they could afford such clothes, how could she be reluctant? Not to mention...... It's the first time that the girl came to see her parents, and she and Ma Liang are not engaged, just boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Auntie, why don't you wear the bracelet I bought for you?" Wu Qiong asked again.
"That, this ......" Li Mei hesitated, she couldn't say that I was reluctant, and I didn't dare to wear it out for fear of being snatched away, right?
Wu Qiong smiled and didn't ask any further, and said, "Auntie, aunt, you talk first, I'll go out and make a phone call first...... By the way, let's try the bracelet on. β
"Ah, go, go, go." Li Mei said.
Hao Fengzhi nodded a little mechanically.
After Wu Qiong walked out, Xu Fengzhi hurriedly asked with a look of surprise on her face: "Xiaomei, Liangzi's girlfriend, I also bought you a bracelet?" How much did you buy it? Take it out and show it to me......"
"Alas, don't mention it, I don't dare or be embarrassed to put it on." Li Mei looked embarrassed, and felt more and more sorry for such a good daughter-in-law, why did we only send an embroidery, this, this...... Thinking of this, Li Mei walked to the wardrobe and took out a small exquisite red box from the innermost place where it was pressed by a pile of clothes, and said: "Tell me, why don't these children take money as money, it costs more than 800,000 yuan to buy a bracelet!" β
"Huh?" Xu Fengzhi was completely dumbfounded.
After listening to the price of the coat before, Xu Fengzhi guessed that Wu Qiong's family had money, but she was extremely cautious and thought about why Wu Qiong was blind to Ma Liang? Now I heard that a bracelet cost 800,000 yuan, and it was the first time I went to the door to see the gift that the parents gave to the man's mother......
Xu Fengzhi didn't dare to think about anything else in her heart!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
How would it feel for a countryman who came from an ordinary background and had been living an ordinary life for half his life to suddenly find that this crockpot of gold was buried under the base of the house in his home?
Surprise!
Excited!
Agitated!
After that, you will fall into a strange tension and trepidation.
Li Mei and Ma Mingquan are too heavy in such a heart now. So after careful discussion, Li Mei decided that she couldn't ask for that bracelet!
It's too precious, she doesn't dare to wear it on her hand, and she doesn't feel at ease when she hides it in her home.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Li Mei made some supper for Ma Liang and Wu Qiong and brought it into Ma Liang's bedroom.
"It's cold, eat something at night to warm up and sleep better." Li Mei said with a smile, and naturally walked to the side to help them pack their clothes - tomorrow, Ma Liang and Wu Qiong will go to Beijing.
"Thank you, auntie." Wu Qiong's heart was hot, and she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again.
She is not the kind of person who lacks maternal love, on the contrary, because of the poison of the blood in her body, her mother still loves her very much, and she is extremely considerate - but because of the daughter's heart, it is a recognition that the mother of the beloved is so caring and considerate. Moreover, the deep love of rural women from the bottom of their hearts made Wu Qiong feel a different kind of warmth.
It's hot, it's warm.
Li Mei smiled and didn't say anything, walked to the wall and bent down to open the suitcase.
Actually, there is nothing to pack, and the things are already packed. However, there is a way to worry about the mother of the child, Li Mei still seems to be a little worried about checking the suitcase to see if there are any clothes that she forgot to bring. And then...... Taking advantage of Ma Liang and Wu Qiong's inattention, she stuffed the delicate small box containing the bracelet under the clothes in the suitcase, and then pulled the suitcase up, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "After eating, rest early, just let Liangzi take the dishes and chopsticks outside." β
"Well, thank you, auntie."
"This kid, politely ...... all day long" Li Mei walked out with a smile on her face.
