Chapter 65 Human Affection Is Like Water
Wu Chunli discussed with her husband, the family situation is good, there is a deposit of 50,000 yuan, there are thousands of yuan in cash, this morning after going to the factory to sign and register, and received a salary of 300 yuan, and the job will be settled in the future, anyway, if there is income, I will send 300 yuan to my sister's family.
In the past nine years, the average person has given a favor of ten or twenty yuan, five yuan in the countryside, and even more people who have no money to send a few catties of noodles and a few catties of rice, which is very common, and it is not a small favor to send fifty if you are a little closer.
Wu Chunli sent three hundred to her little sister's family, this favor is also very good, Yang Donglin naturally does not object, in this family, Wu Chunli is in charge, although she is a real adult, but like all women, she loves face!
The 300 yuan was all replaced by a brand new 10 yuan banknote, Wu Chunli bought a big red blanket the day before, and spent an hour at home with Yang Donglin to paste the 300 yuan banknote on the blanket with a big "Shou" word.
When he went out, Yang Shuai carried the bag containing the blanket, Wu Chunli himself carried a small bag of firecrackers, and Yang Donglin was still in the "protection" period, not allowing him to do any physical work, including carrying some small things.
A family of four dressed brightly and went out with gifts, at the entrance of the alley, Yang Shuai opened the trunk of the car, put the blanket in, and then opened the door again.
"Mom, get in the car!"
Wu Chunli groaned, "Do you still want to drive?" It's not far away! β
Yang Donglin said with a smile: "Old woman, don't you love face, let your son drive a big car, isn't this very face-saving?" β
Wu Chunli frowned and said: "Don't fake face no matter how much you want to save face, isn't this car owned by Lu Jiacheng, and it's not ours, I drove it to others to talk about it, and used other people's things to stick it to my face, which is to lose face, not to increase face!" β
Yang Donglin couldn't help but smile bitterly, this car is actually not a big lie to say that it is his son's, his son does have the ability to buy this car, but his wife is a real person, although he has a good face, but he is not good at faking face!
Yang Shuai thought about it, took out the blanket again, and said, "Forget it, it's not far anyway, let's go!" β
My aunt's house is in Qingyuan Community, Dongcheng District, not far from here, about ten minutes walk.
Yang Xue really hadn't worn such a beautiful and bright skirt, she was excited and shy all the way, she walked fast all the way, and it didn't take ten minutes to arrive at the Qingyuan community of her aunt's house.
One-third of this community is three-story single-family villas, two-thirds of the area is nine-story houses, nine-story houses without elevators are units, most of the residents are employees of various units in the county, and single-family houses are basically officials with positions and wealthy merchants.
Just to the entrance of the community to hear a burst of firecrackers, the sound shook the sky, although the county also has regulations on the ban on whips in the city, but it is not too strictly enforced, the small county town is far from the emperor, plus Yang Shuai's brother-in-law Zhang Jiwei is the deputy director of the Dongcheng District Finance Office, the size is also an official, the old lady at home 70th birthday ringing firecrackers, then naturally no one interfered.
"Donglin, you take out the firecrackers and prepare to put them off!" Wu Chunli hurriedly instructed her husband, and asked Yang Shuai to prepare to take out the blanket with the word money on it.
Turning the alleyway, I saw from a distance that the front of my aunt's house was full of black heads, firecrackers, talking, noisy, and lively.
Yang Donglin scattered a ball of firecrackers with a thousand words and spread them on the ground, and then the cigarette butts ignited, and the "crackling" suddenly sounded, and the electric light flickered.
Yang Xue was afraid, covering her ears and shrinking between her brother and father, Yang Shuai and Wu Chunli spread out the blanket in front of them and led them over, and the word "longevity" on the blanket was very conspicuous.
A few people who were helping at Zhang's house came over and took the blanket and received it on the second floor to hang it.
Zhang Jiwei and Wu Chunxiu came over to talk to Yang Donglin.
"Are you feeling well?" Zhang Jiwei's eyes were spinning on Yang Donglin, he heard that he had a car accident earlier, and later said that there was no big problem, and he hadn't seen it since he came back from the provincial capital, of course, he didn't want to go to his home to take a look.
Zhang Jiwei is a brother-in-law, and the ranking is naturally last, Yang Donglin is the second brother-in-law, it stands to reason that he wants to be called "second brother", but Zhang Jiwei is an "official", except for his family, the rest of the three sisters are flat-headed people, he has to put on a shelf, this shelf is his identity, it is his face.
Yang Donglin didn't feel anything about Zhang Jiwei's "condescending" greetings, nodded and replied: "Okay, it's good!" β
Wu Chunxiu had already looked at the ten-yuan bill pasted on the blanket given by the second sister, although she couldn't count the number, but it seemed that she could estimate that it was two to three hundred, and reached out to take Wu Chunli's hand and said, "Second brother, go in, in the middle, the boss is here, go and sit in the room!" β
Zhang Jiwei was about to say something polite again, when he heard the second brother of his family in front of him shouting: "Big brother, Secretary Chen and Mr. Lu are here!" β
Zhang Jiwei suddenly waved his hand, pulled his son Zhang Hong over and said, "Zhang Hong, take your second aunt and second aunt to the back room to sit!" After saying that, he squeezed outside to greet the guests.
Wu Chunli saw that her sister glanced at the blanket she sent, her expression was a little indifferent, and she looked up, only to see that the front wall on the second and third floors was full of blankets and ** sheets, which were all pasted with money, most of them were words pasted with 100 banknotes, a few were 50 denomination banknotes, and her family was a 10 yuan banknote, no wonder the little sister glanced at it, her expression was very indifferent.
Wu Chunli felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, no matter how much she sent, it was all relatives, and it was within her reach, could it be that she would be happy to give her all her belongings?
Think about yourself, after Yang Shuai and his father had a car accident, he came to borrow money, but the little sister only lent her fifty yuan, and said that her son wanted to study, and the family wanted to buy a new house, what she lacked was money, but no matter how short of money, she could also lack the heart to help her relatives?
Yang Shuai saw his mother's unhappiness, smiled and took her hand and said, "Mom, go in and talk to your aunt!" β
Cousin Zhang Hong followed, he was wearing a sky blue shirt, black pants, black leather shoes that shone brightly, and a BB machine hanging on a brown cow belt.
Zhang Hong also looked down intentionally or unintentionally, with a chic and complacent expression.
The aunt has a son of Zhang Hong, who is only three months younger than Yang Shuai, and he is also studying in No. 1 Middle School, but he is a key class in the first class.
The construction area of the villa is about 200 square meters, which is already very large, Zhang Hong's grandfather actually lived with his younger son, this 70th birthday, Zhang Jiwei's eldest son took him to the house to celebrate, nominally for the old man's 70th birthday, but in fact it is to make money by placing wine, which is generally a common practice in the local area.
The second and third floors of the house are to entertain more valuable guests, and the downstairs greets ordinary guests, although they can't help but "go", and the guests can also move up and down freely, but Zhang Jiwei, the host, arranged the manpower to greet them like this.
Although Yang Shuai's family is a direct relative of him, their status is low, and Zhang Jiwei doesn't care about these poor relatives.
In a room at the back of the house, there were seventeen or eighteen people sitting in a twenty-square-meter room, which was very crowded, and Yang Shuai saw his aunt Wu Chunmei at a glance, his uncle Zheng Fulai, and his cousin Zheng Xiujuan next to his aunt.
Cousin Zheng Xiujuan is twenty-five years old, has been married and has a two-year-old daughter, rented a faΓ§ade in the county to do curtain business, cousin-in-law Xie Tian is a door-to-door son-in-law, a very honest and diligent person, but he didn't come today.
Yang Shuai called at the door: "Auntie, uncle, cousin!" β
Wu Chunmei hurriedly beckoned: "Yang Shuai, are you here?" Come on, second sister, come and sit here! β
A few people squeezed in the past, Yang Donglin and Zheng Fulai side by side, Wu Chunmei naturally sat with Wu Chunli sisters, Yang Xue and Zheng Xiujuan's cousins sat side by side, Yang Xue reached out and hugged the daughter in her cousin's arms, stretched out her fingers and tapped her fat face, and shouted: "Nannan, call cousin, call cousin!" β
The little girl couldn't speak clearly, and shouted a few times, which made everyone laugh.
Nan Nan was attracted by the BB machine on Zhang Hong's waist standing in front of her, BB had a rice-sized signal light flashing on and on, the little girl was curious, stretching out her little fingers full of saliva to touch.
Zhang Hong hurriedly avoided it, cautiously looked at the BB machine on his waist, and saw that it was not touched by the wet fingers of the little girl, so he said: "This BB machine is a brand of Motorola, it costs more than 3,000, and it can't be wet!" β
Zheng Xiujuan frowned, a little girl's saliva can get wet?
But this was finally not said, Yang Xue hugged the little niece tightly, and she was a little far away from Zhang Hong.
However, Yang Shuai silently touched out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, stuffed it directly into the little girl's hand, and said: "Little niece, your cousin's BB machine is too expensive to play, come, the eldest cousin also has a Motorola mobile phone, play casually, not afraid of getting wet, and don't worry if it breaks!" β
The little girl grabbed the mobile phone and was really curious, and there was also a small signal light flashing green on the phone, flashing and flashing, like fireflies.
Yang Shuai's aunt, uncle, and cousin Zheng Xiujuan thought it was a fake toy and didn't take it seriously, but what Yang Shuai said made them feel a lot more happy.
Zhang Hong's face flushed, of course he could hear his cousin's obvious sarcasm, but he naturally wouldn't believe that Yang Shuai's mobile phone was real, how could Yang Shuai afford it? It's that his father is not willing to buy, this time and his mother discussed for a long time at night, this mobile phone costs more than 20,000 yuan, and in the telecom to bet 20,000 yuan, the monthly phone bill is about a few hundred, his mother just didn't let him buy, reluctantly, said that after the old lady celebrated his birthday, take the gift money to buy one.
How can Yang Shuai's family have the money to buy it? It is neither possible nor necessary, the second uncle almost died after the car accident, and there was no money for the operation, but fortunately, it was no big deal, and he was unemployed after he came back, only relying on the second aunt's salary in the textile factory to support, and there are two students at home, Yang Shuai and Yang Xue, can you have money for this expense?
Zhang Hong stared at the mobile phone in Nannan's hand, it looked very exquisite, and he wanted to take it to see if it was true or false, of course it was fake, but he just wanted to take a look, but he was just taken by Yang Shuai, and he was embarrassed to "take" it from the little girl's hand at this time!
