Chapter 144

"Did you say that about your daughter? The conditions of the Zhou family are a hundred times stronger than ours, but you can't be a little daughter-in-law who swallows your anger just because of this early summer!

You are the father of early summer, even you think that we have made a lot of money and let the Zhou family do everything, so others don't take early summer seriously! ”

Lin Baohe's teaching to his daughter aroused Zhao Yulan's anger, and when Lin Baohe's voice fell, he was given a lecture on his head and face.

"Look at you in a hurry, I didn't say let Chu Xia swallow her anger, what I said was to let her restrain her little temper, you also saw it, Chu Xia almost didn't have a good voice when she talked to Head Zhou, if she really married into the Zhou family, how could she do it with such an attitude?"

"It's also ......" felt that her husband's analysis was reasonable, and Zhao Yulan immediately changed her position, "Xia, what your father said is that men have a good face, and they can make trouble at home, and they must not lose face in front of outsiders." This outsider, including me and your father, as well as his father and his mother, whether you can figure it out or not, listen to your father's mother. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my father." In fact, Chu Xia also realized that there was something wrong with his attitude towards Zhou Mikang, so he complied.

Although there is a reluctant element in this family affair, I have to say that Zhou Mikang still has great respect for her family, and he can take the initiative to give her passbook to her father, which fully illustrates this!

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she didn't know how much money was in the passbook given by Mr. Zhou later, "Mother, how much is the gift money given by Grandpa Zhou?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yulan's expression immediately became serious: "Xia." The passbook given by the grandfather of the Zhou family was 3,000 yuan. I've discussed it with your father, this money. You can't take anything you say, our family is poor, you can't be short-minded and make your mother-in-law laugh.

Besides, your father and I just want you to have a better life, but we never intended to benefit from you, if we take this money, you won't be able to raise your head in the Zhou family in the future.

So, whatever they say, this money. We still can't take it, let's marry a daughter-in-law there, and the people with good conditions will give a gift of 600 yuan, plus a bicycle, a watch, and a sewing machine, a total of 1,000 yuan will die.

Mother and your father estimated, if it was also according to this standard. The Zhou family must think that we are too small, and we really can't do it, so they only accept the 2,000 yuan from the head of Xiao Zhou, and then have a little grandson in the future. On the little grandson of the flower, no one can say anything. ”

It's really long-term thinking, and these eight characters have just skimmed it. I even thought of my little grandson, staring at her mother with a black line in early summer. I really don't know what to say.

The amount of money given by the Zhou family is not surprising in early summer. Because at that time, Mr. Zhou mentioned that her father and mother should go back to their hometown to build a decent house, and at the current price, to build four houses in the countryside, the materials are almost about 2,000 yuan, and the materials are better, it will be more than 3,000 yuan.

As for the more than 2,000 given by Zhou Mikang, in the eyes of the Zhou family, it was the son-in-law's filial piety to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it did not match the gift money, so what the old man Zhou gave happened to be the amount of money that could build a good house.

It's just that even if the Zhou family forces Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe to accept this money, it is impossible for the two of them to really build a house, and in terms of their character, they can't do such a thing.

In fact, the Zhou family gave these gifts, which is not too out of line, in terms of the conditions of the Zhou family, no matter how little they give, they themselves will feel that they can't take it, if it is not for the fear of the tree, it is estimated that the Zhou family will give more gifts. After all, marrying her has passed the door, but her father and mother have a hard time, and the Zhou family's face is not good-looking.

The more high-ranking people are, the more they care about face, of course, it is not absolute, but based on her observation of Old Man Zhou and Father Zhou, they must belong to this type.

She agreed to marry Zhou Mikang, just to make her father and mother live a smoother life in advance, thinking so, she said in early summer: "Mother, with the conditions of the Zhou family, taking out this money will not affect life, and you will not look down on me because you and your father took this money, they are not that kind of people." ”

Lin Baohe's expression became serious: "Xia, people are not bad for this money, but not for this money, your mother and I can't really treat ourselves as dishes, you are still young, you don't understand these things, forget it, you don't care, I and your mother know what to do." ”

"Daddy"

In early summer, he still wanted to persuade him, but Lin Baohe pulled it down with a croak on his face: "Xia, there is no discussion about this matter." ”

"If you don't discuss it, I won't marry!" The stubbornness of early summer also came up.

"You dare!"

"I dare my dad to know soon!"

"You kid!" Lin Baohe sighed heavily, and then slapped himself in the face, "It's all because my father is incompetent, I used to rely on my wife, but now I rely on my daughter, I'm a waste"

"Dad, if you slap your face and swell, how will you see people tomorrow?"

Hearing Chu Xia say this, Lin Baohe was so frightened that he quickly withdrew the slap that slapped his cheek again, Zhao Yulan, who was originally worried, saw Lin Baohe's HUAJI appearance who didn't dare to fan, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at Chu Xia's eyes full of relief: "Xia, you don't follow your father's stereotype, mother, it's finally much more relieved." ”

Chu Xia nodded solemnly: "Yes, Dad is too stereotypical!" ”

"You say that your father is stereotyped, or antiques, anyway, the money can't be collected, even if you do, your mother and I will send it back later."

Chu Xia, who knew his father's temper well, said that his father was determined to eat the scales.

It is estimated that even if Zhao Yulan persuades at this time, it will be useless.

She is married to Master Zhou, and her father and her mother are still living a bitter life, so what's the matter with her?

"Xia, of course my father also wants to build a big house, and when people asked, they said, this is my son-in-law's family paid for us to build it, but my father and your mother can't patronize it, and you have to think about your future days. It's okay if you give birth to a son, in case you have a daughter for the rest of your life" Speaking of this, Lin Baohe realized that his daughter used to be the most annoying for others to talk about her like this, and quickly explained, "Of course, your father and mother are quite content with giving birth to you." However, the Zhou family is different. Most of the families of high-ranking families are rare grandchildren. These things. We can't help but prevent it in advance. ”

"Xia, this matter is really not as simple as you think, the standard for marrying relatives that my mother will talk about is the standard for a good family in the countryside to marry a daughter-in-law, ordinary people, that is, two hundred yuan plus a bicycle, no matter how good the conditions are, you can add another watch, as for the sewing machine. You have to be moderately wealthy to be able to do so.

We have gone beyond a lot, no matter how the Zhou family is doing, we can't be too greedy, your father and I are still young, not afraid of hardship, if you really feel sorry for your father, don't be in a hurry, and when you have the ability to let your father live a good life, your father and mother will not refuse. ”

"Daddy. Mother, I'm definitely going to try, but," she wanted to say, but. I am willing to marry Zhou Mikang, just to let you live a good life in advance, but now. What is it?

When the words came to his lips, he quickly took them back. If she dared to say that, her father and mother would be even more worried. At this time, they were already so worried when she was willing to marry Zhou Mikang, if they knew the truth, what would they have to worry about?

However, it is estimated that it is impossible to withdraw from relatives, his father and mother have seen the sincerity of the Zhou family, and they are satisfied with this family business, and the only thing that makes them not solid may be Mrs. Zhou's attitude, but even if they find ordinary people, they may not be satisfied with everything, let alone such a family.

Forget it, she persuaded it slowly, things are not in a hurry at this time, if her father and mother insist on not accepting gift money, then wait until she gets married, if the Zhou family treats her well, his father and mother will not be so resolute.

In fact, if you think about it, it may not be a good idea to let her father and mother bring so much money back at this time.

Although Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin have severed their relationship with her family before, if they know that she married into such a family and received so much gift money, the old couple will definitely deny the severance of the relationship.

and the superb aunt's family, if she learns that her father and mother have such a large amount of money, she may not have any crooked thoughts. As for the uncle's family, they are not good stubble.

With the characters of Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, they really want to be besieged by that group of people, and the result will definitely not be what she wants.

Thinking like this, she immediately decided not to persuade her father and mother to accept the gift money, "Dad, mother, I listen to you, and you can do what you say." ”

Seeing that their daughter had figured it out after working so hard, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe immediately became happy, no matter how much they were still worried, at least they were relieved of one thing, that is, their daughter's personality was really different from before.

To put it aside, no one wants to turn a corner for her when her daughter recognizes it, just now, the two of them seem to be resolutely persuading their daughter, but in fact, they are worried in their hearts.

In case the daughter is determined not to let go, they really don't dare to fight with their daughter, in case the daughter is forced to be anxious, think about the time when the daughter ran away from home, they will be afraid to death.

The hearts of both parties were settled, and the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed.

finally got the opportunity to be alone with her daughter, Zhao Yulan babbled about the situation of the family and told her all the things, and then began to talk about various things that happened in the village during this time, for example, who added Ding, who married a daughter-in-law, who married a daughter-in-law, and even, who added a few chicks, Lin Baohe sat aside, listened quietly, and added a sentence from time to time.

Speaking of the back, Zhao Yulan slapped her head and said, "By the way, your sister-in-law of Yulan married into our village." ”

"Who's marrying it?" The surprise on the face of early summer, it has only been half a month since I left, and so many things have happened, tsk

"Marry Chen Guangxin, the second grandson of your grandfather."

"The one with a little bad legs?"

"yes."

"Who introduced you?"

"Of course it's your eldest uncle, your grandfather is not happy, but Guangxin's mother is willing, Guangxin's legs and feet are not good, and the daughters of good people are generally unwilling to marry in the past, it is rare that Meifeng is an outstanding appearance, and she can do her work, but the bride is very satisfied, and she will get married at the end of this month."

"So fast?" The surprise on the face of early summer, this speed is too amazing, some time ago, Liu Meiqing was still thinking about marrying her sister to the commune director's family, how could she lower the conditions so much in the blink of an eye?

"Mother, do you think this is right?"

"Something is wrong." It was Lin Baohe who answered. "Your grandfather Dagang also thinks something is wrong, but the bride is bent on marrying a daughter-in-law for the new Guang. can't listen to anyone who says it, Guangxin's father can't be her master. ”

"Third Brother Chen is also willing?"

Zhao Yulan nodded: "That's for sure." Your third brother walks with the wind now. ”

"This matter" Chu Xia poked his forehead, and then laughed, "Forget it, don't worry about them, we can't take care of this matter, Dad, Mother, I will send it back to you as soon as I get this month's allowance." You two can buy whatever you want, but you can't afford not to spend it. ”

"Okay." Zhao Yulan smiled and nodded, "I can also spend the money my daughter earns, but my mother has survived it, halu ha"

"Dad also boiled it out!" Lin Baohe said and added, "Xia is a girl, but she is much better than a boy, and her father is a rare girl!" ”

The family was talking happily when there was a knock on the door. Chu Xia hurriedly ran over, and grinned in his mouth: "Uncle and aunt are so polite now, hehe" opened the door, but saw Luo Hongqi and Zhao Qiliang standing at the door.

"On the way back, I happened to encounter a red flag. He knew that his sister-in-law and uncle were here and wanted to come and have a look. Zhao Qiliang said with a smile.

Luo Hongqi's eyes glanced at Chu Xia's face and quickly moved away. shouted in a thick voice: "Second uncle, second aunt." I've come to see you. ”

"Red Flag, come in." Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe hurriedly greeted them and let them into the house. Zhao Yulan looked him up and down, and said, "The red flag is stronger than when I was at home." ”

"Eat well here, train every day, and your body will be strong." Luo Hongqi smiled innocently, "Second uncle and second aunt, you guys are tired all the way, right?" ”

In early summer, I quietly pouted, yo, I still know how to greet people, and I have made a lot of progress!

"It's okay, it's not tiring to take the car." Zhao Yulan said as she pulled out the green onion cake from the cloth bag, "Hongqi, there is nothing good here for my uncle and aunt, this is the green onion cake that my grandmother baked in early summer when I came, I know that it is not rare for you to eat here, but this is the taste of our home, let's eat one." ”

"Hmm." Luo Hongqi replied sullenly, took the scallion pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes seemed to be a little red.

In the early summer, she thought that there was something wrong with her eyes, so she quickly rubbed it with her hand and looked at it again, uh, not only was it a little red at this time, but there seemed to be a faint sense of water in her eyes.

A green onion cake moved to tears?

"Luo Hongqi, if you really want to eat, let my mother give you two more." Early summer road.

Luo Hongqi glared at Chu Xia: "I miss my mother, this cake has the same flavor as my mother's baked cake." ”

"Oh oh, you want to be fat?" Chu Xia smiled narrowly, "This thing is not easy to do, you have to be qualified to visit relatives after a year, it has only been about three months, and you have to stay up for another nine months, hehe, you have survived!" ”

"Don't worry, don't say one year, I can survive two years." Luo Hongqi said and looked at Chu Xia, "Lin Chu Xia, even in front of the second uncle and aunt, I have to talk about you."

Since you signed up to be a soldier, you have to plan to leave your father and mother for a long time, it's only been half a month, you can't stand it and recruit your second uncle and aunt, in the future, you plan to let them live here and take care of you?

Even if you want to, the army won't allow it, this time, because you are a new soldier, you can open the net, and it is estimated that next time, you can roll up and go home. ”

When Luo Hongqi's voice fell, Lin Baohe couldn't help laughing: "The army is to train people, and in the past, Hongqi would not say such things. ”

"Second uncle, I feel sorry for you and the second aunt, if she sends her home, you guys" Luo Hongqi sighed and stopped talking.

"Hongqi, if you have this heart, uncle and aunt will know your feelings." Zhao Yulan lovingly touched his short hair stubble, "But Hongqi, your prejudice against early summer is too deep, this time we came, she didn't let us come"

Chu Xia interrupted Zhao Yulan: "Mother, don't explain, talking to him about this is basically playing the piano to the cow." ”

"You" Luo Hongqi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"This kid loves to bully the red flag!" Zhao Yulan symbolically patted Chu Xia on the shoulder, and looked at Luo Hongqi with a smile, "Hongqi, your uncle and I have to stay for two days before going back, if you have anything to bring back, take it." ”

"Auntie" Luo Hongqi blushed and twisted.

"He wanted to ask Zhong Hongying about the current situation."

Luo Hongqi glanced at early summer, rare. I feel that early summer is pleasing to the eye.

"The kid now runs every day, saying he's going to go to the summer draft. And come to be a soldier. ”

"Why didn't she tell me?" Luo Hongqi's brows furrowed suddenly, "Second aunt." Who are you listening to? ”

"Everyone in the village knows it."

"She" Luo Hongqi's face turned red anxiously, "I received her letter yesterday, and she didn't say a word about it." ”

"Hongqi, wouldn't it be better if she came to be a soldier and be with you?" Zhao Yulan wondered.

"Second aunt, if she also became a soldier, she would definitely not be able to follow me." Luo Hongqi smiled wryly, "She is willing to follow me, isn't she just fancy me as a soldier." ”

"You know all the ways," Chu Xia couldn't help but drag out the tone.

Zhilu said. But I'm just a rarity with her. ”

Okay, I want to say this sentence, Zhilu said, but I am willing to be deceived by her.

What can she say? In early summer, he looked Luo Hongqi up and down, and suddenly found that this guy seemed to look better than before after several months of training in the army, well, people have spirit. It looks good.

"Luo Hongqi, when you rest again, go take a photo, wearing a military uniform. Send it to Zhong Hongying, maybe, she will make up her mind that you will not marry! ”

Luo Hongqi just wanted to refute Chu Xia. Zhao Yulan also nodded and agreed: "That's right, what Chu Xia said is also an idea." As the red flag looks like it is now, it is rare for anyone to see it. ”

"Knock Knock"

There was another knock on the door. Zhao Qiliang, who was closest to the door, went over to open the door, and it was Zhou Mikang.

"Captain!" Reflexive, Zhao Qiliang stood upright and saluted.

Zhou Mikang smiled: "In private, you don't need so much etiquette. As he spoke, he stepped into the room and saw Luo Hongqi standing there, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Luo Hongqi's legs were "banged" together, and his face was stiff and stared at Zhou Mikang: "Regiment leader!" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Mikang nodded at him and looked at Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, "Dad, mother, I transferred a room for you, three beds, let's move there in a while." ”

Father? Mother?

Luo Hongqi stood there stiffly, looking at Zhou Mikang's eyes full of wonder, how could he call the second uncle and aunt "father" and "mother"?

Could it be that he recognized his second uncle and aunt as his godfather and godmother?

But when was that, and why didn't he know the way?

"I'll squeeze a bed with Chu Xia, just make do."

"It's not that there is no room, it just so happens that the three-person room is vacated, or let's move over here." Zhou Mikang looked at Zhao Qiliang as he spoke, "You go over and talk to your father, lest they can't find it by then, it's 205." ”

"Okay." Zhao Qiliang replied and walked out, thought about it, and turned back to pull Luo Hongqi, "Aren't you going to see my father?" ”

Luo Hongqi, who was in a mess in his mind, was forcibly dragged to the next room by Zhao Qiliang with his mouth half open.

Here, Zhou Mikang had already helped pack up his things, and when he picked them up, he walked to the three-person room.

"I'll come, I'll come." Lin Baohe, who hadn't grabbed a single piece of luggage, was so anxious that he wanted to grab something to carry, Zhou Mikang leaned over, "Dad, with me, how can I let you carry something?" ”

"Huh"

"Huh"

Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan both laughed contentedly.

Chu Xia secretly rolled her eyes, she was quite good at behaving, this person was definitely not a person in front of her and in front of her parents, well, in front of the Zhou family and in front of her, he was not alone.

However, compared to the Zhou family, she is still happy?

Thinking so, the corners of someone's mouth hooked.

Over there, Zhao Qiliang and Zhao Yushan Li Aiyuan said that after the family moved to 205 in early summer, Zhao Yushan smiled: "Yulan is considered to have come out, and it is difficult to find this Xiao Zhou head if he wants a lantern." ”

There was Luo Hongqi, but he didn't elaborate on anything else.

If he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Luo Hongqi won't ask: "Why did Head Zhou call the second uncle and second aunt to call his father?" ”

This matter, I explained it in early summer, and I didn't want other people in the army to know, this other person included Luo Hongqi, Zhao Qiliang was not sure, at this time, the little cousin was the daughter-in-law of the regiment commander, and the regiment commander still cared so much about the little cousin, Zhao Qiliang naturally did not dare to offend the little cousin carelessly.

In line with the principle of rather believing it than not, Qiliang bluffed Luo Hongqi without blushing and without a heartbeat: "You heard it wrong, you must have heard it wrong because you were nervous." ”

"Impossible" Luo Hongqi shook his head, "I obviously heard it." ”

"You're definitely too nervous to see the head of the regiment, and you're having auditory hallucinations."

Seeing Luo Hongqi touching his head and looking back on his face, Zhao Yushan and Li Aiyuan were in the black line, and at the same time, they were also relieved, it turned out that their son's honesty was in front of whom, at this time, they were finally relieved (to be continued. )
