Section 11 Formal Door-to-door
Section 11 officially came to the door
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the unit is on holiday, and I am completely relaxed, I must go home first, and discuss with my parents about the official visit, this kind of major event, or listen to my parents' opinions.
"Mom and Dad, sister, I'm back!" I said loudly as I entered the house.
"Son, are you on vacation?" Mom asked in surprise.
I nodded heavily.
"Where's Dad, where's my sister?" I saw that my mother was the only one at home, so I asked.
"They've gone to town to buy things for the New Year." Mom replied.
"What are you doing with so many things, the New Year's things, the unit has basically sent them, Director Feng said that I have made a special contribution this year, and I have specially sent me a lot of things; The driver, Lao Yang, sent me to Wanzi before leaving. Mom, you help me get something, it's too much, I can't take it. I said proudly.
"Good, good!" Mom was busy responding.
We went out and walked towards Wanzikou.
Along the way, I met many people in the bay, and I was busy sharing cigarettes and saying hello as when I came back.
"Fourth aunt, what are you doing with Ah Liu?" Cousin Ajun said.
"Jun, your brother Aliu's unit sent something and sent it to the Wanzi intersection, I'll go with him to get it." Mom replied.
"Brother Jun, you can also help me get it." I handed over my cigarette as I spoke.
"Okay." Brother Jun agreed very simply.
When we arrived at the intersection, my father and sister also came back, and my sister saw me coming back, so she jumped and ran over, "Brother, you're back!" ”
I touched her head and said:
"I haven't been back for a few months, and you've grown taller again?"
My sister nodded happily.
"Dad, you're back." I was busy greeting my dad and sharing cigarettes.
"Yes. Whose stuff is this, so many, put on the side of the road. Dad asked, answering me.
"Your son's unit sent it!" Mom said.
"Oh." Daddy is the voice.
There were five of us, and it took us two trips to bring home the things that my unit had sent and the things that my father and sister had bought from the street.
At dinner in the evening, we ate and talked at the same time.
I told them all the cases I solved.
When my parents heard that as soon as I joined the work, they solved so many big cases and made meritorious contributions, and they were so happy that they pestered me and asked me to tell me how I solved the case.
I had to briefly talk about some of the cases solved.
When the meal was finished, my parents and I sat together again, and my sister was washing the dishes.
"Son, did you go and tell Wanfang's parents about the engagement?" Mom spoke first.
"Anyway, they said they were going to go on the first day of the Lunar New Year, just take some cigarettes, alcohol, and sugar."
"Then what's the matter, didn't I tell you that I wanted to take the money, didn't you say it?!" Mom was in a hurry.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I said it, their whole family didn't agree to take the money; Later, I gave your opinion again, and said that you had told you to take the money; In the end, Fang's mother asked to take 2,000 yuan. "I comforted my mother.
"That's too little, you mother-in-law, you're really saving you money. I asked someone else, and it is common to bring 4,000 yuan in gift money in the city. Mom said with a smile.
"Then we'll give you four thousand dollars as well." Dad said.
"Boy and his father, you see that they are so considerate of us, we have to do something decent, just take 5,000, what do you think? Money is not a problem, the money that Aliu gave us is all there, it is enough. Mom said.
"Is this necessary?" Dad asked.
"Yes, you see that their family has a child, and it is a cadre family, we have to help her save face." Mom said.
"You can do it." Dad said.
"We'll go to town tomorrow to buy you something." Mom arranged.
"No need, my mother-in-law said just go to the Fang unit and buy it." I replied that I had never dared to tell my parents about selling fake wine, and Wanfang also told me not to go home.
"That's fine, things from their business bureau are always good." Mom replied.
"The child's father, early tomorrow morning, I will go back to my parents' house, talk to my uncle and second uncle, and ask them to accompany Ah Liu to the door on the first day of the new year to recognize their relatives. Mom arranged.
On the twenty-nineth, I got up early in the morning and rushed to the county seat.
When I arrived at Fang's house, it was already ten o'clock, and she hadn't gotten up yet, so I told her to get up quickly and accompany me to buy something. She just wouldn't get up, insisted that I sleep with her, and said that if I didn't sleep with her, she wouldn't get up, and I had to go to bed. She told me:
"Don't you look at what time it is, it's the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, our unit has a holiday, where is someone selling things to you?"
"What then?" I'm in a hurry.
"You kiss me again, you kiss me comfortably, and I have a way." Wanfang said with a smile.
We hugged and kissed again, and when we got tired of kissing, we let go.
"I've got it all for you, just take it home." Wanfang said.
"Oh, no wonder you're not in a hurry." I finally got it.
"My mother said that she would bring 5,000 yuan as a gift." I said it truthfully.
"What do you want so much money for, the county town comes to recognize relatives, and it is generally only 4,000 yuan, why do you want to give so much." Wanfang was anxious.
"My mother said that you are the only child in your family, and I want to help you love face." I explained.
"Haha, my mother-in-law really thinks about me." Wanfang said with a smile, paused, and then said:
"I took the 5,000 yuan, I have 3,000 yuan here, you have to take it too, take it back." Mom said that she could only let you take 2,000 yuan. ”
"This is not necessary, my mother is ready." I said hurriedly.
"Am I your wife?" Wanfang suddenly changed the subject.
"Hehe, do you want to regret it?" I said with a smile.
"Ah Liu, we are all like this, I call you husband, you also call me daughter-in-law, my parents also treat you as a son, do we still want to share each other?" Wanfang said seriously.
"It's definitely not going to work, and my mom will definitely scold me, so don't embarrass me, okay?" I'm in a hurry, too.
"Husband, don't talk about this problem, your task now is to sleep well with your wife and make love, okay?" Wanfang said.
We slept until noon and got up, and after lunch, Wanfang refused to go out to play, and went back to sleep, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, Wanfang sent me to the station to take the train home.
Sure enough, my mother disagreed.
"Ah Liu, didn't Mom make it clear to you?!" In my mother's tone, it was obviously a blaming tone.
"I also said your opinion, Fang disagrees, and my mother-in-law disagrees either." I was busy explaining.
"Silly son, both of them are thinking about you, their family is not bad for money, but we are here to her house to get married, son, this is your lifelong event, we can't lose such a good mother-daughter family." Mom said.
"Then I'll return the money." I'm a little upset too.
"Silly son, why are you so smart when you handle the case, you can come up with ideas that others can't think of, but in this matter, why are you so confused." Mom said with a smile.
"I listen to you, Fang is not happy; I'm listening to Fang, and you're not happy, I'm really difficult. I shook my head and said.
"Can't you make both of you happy?" Mom continued to laugh.
"I want to make you all happy, but I can't help it, I can only choose one of the two." I still shook my head.
"You say you're so good at solving crimes, I really don't believe it. You add up the money of the two of you, and we're all happy, huh? Mom finally came up with an idea.
"Mom, you are so smart, why did you give birth to such a stupid son of mine?" I laughed when I heard that it was a good idea.
My mother told me to pay attention to details and etiquette.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, our family gathered together again, drank and ate, and everyone was very happy.
In 1996, the Year of the Rat, February 19, the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was going to officially come to the door today, I was very excited, I got up early in the morning, my uncle and second uncle came early in the morning, and my brother Jun also came early.
My mother gave the money to my uncle, and asked Brother Jun to take sugar, cigarettes, wine, etc., and gave each of them a red envelope, and the four of us set off to Wanfang's house.
On the street, I bought two more bouquets of roses.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Fang standing there, and I hurried up to introduce everyone.
After the introduction, Fang shouted upstairs:
"Mom and Dad, Ah Liu, they're here!"
"Okay, okay, here, your dad is down." It was the mother-in-law's voice.
We went upstairs, and at the turn of the third floor, we met my father-in-law, who was holding a large roll of firecrackers in his hand, and hurriedly greeted him and introduced them one by one:
"Happy New Year, Dad! This is my eldest uncle, second uncle, and military brother. ”
"You're happy too." The father-in-law greeted everyone, took the things in the hands of the military brother as he spoke, and then handed them to Fang: "Fang, you and Ah Liu bring a few distinguished guests to sit at home, I will go down and set off firecrackers, and I will be back immediately." ”
We continued to go upstairs, and my mother-in-law greeted her at the gate again, and behind her were the second and third aunts, and the mother-in-law smiled and said:
"It's all here, come in and sit! Come in and sit! ”
and took over the cigarettes and alcohol in Wanfang's hand.
I put two large bouquets of roses in Wanfang's hands, she lowered her head, sniffed, and reveled, "It's so beautiful!" It smells so good! ”
When we went to the living room, the second uncle and the third aunt were also there, and there were two other children.
My mother-in-law beckoned everyone to sit down again, and my father-in-law came up, and I was busy introducing everyone one by one.
After the introduction, I was busy distributing cigarettes again, and Wanfang began to pour tea.
"Uncle, please have tea." Wanfang held a tray with a glass of brown sugar water on the tray.
"Hmm." The uncle responded, took out the red envelope from his pocket, put it on the tray, and took the teacup.
"Thank you, uncle." Wanfang said.
Then the second uncle and the military brother drank tea, and each of them also gave a red envelope.
Then, Wanfang poured tea for the others.
After pouring the tea, Wanfang took the candy for everyone to eat, the two children were eating candy, and they asked Wanfang for it, the second aunt and the third aunt were disgusted, and Wanfang grabbed a large handful of sugar for each of the two children, and the two of them happily said "Thank you, Sister Fang", and Wanfang each grabbed a handful of candy for them.
"Mother-in-law, this is 8,000 yuan, a little meaning. We don't know what Wanfang likes, so you can take it and buy a dress for the child. The uncle took out the red envelope and handed it to the mother-in-law.
After the mother-in-law took it, she immediately spoke:
"In-laws, this gift money is too thick, more than all on the street."
"In-laws, my sister said, you only have one child, and we are in the countryside, I don't know what your customs are, so you can accept it." Uncle continued.
"Okay, since my own mother loves face for us so much, then I'm not welcome and accept it." The mother-in-law said cheerfully, and then, then, again:
"Sit down, I'll serve food in the kitchen."
The uncle nodded and said, "You go and get busy, you go and get busy." "Fang, you come and serve me the food." The mother-in-law spoke again.
Wanfang stood up and followed her mother-in-law, and I was about to stand up to help, but my mother-in-law stopped me with a look.
"What's the matter, didn't I tell Ah Liu to just take two thousand yuan? How can you take so much now, twice as much as on the street? Mother-in-law lowered her voice.
"I don't know, but if it's delivered, you can accept it, this is my mother-in-law's heart!" Wanfang's voice.
"You kid, what do you know?" It continues to be the voice of the mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law and Wanfang went to the kitchen to get busy, and we all sat down and talked.
"In-laws, you came quite early, hard work." The father-in-law said as he shared the cigarette.
Uncle answered: "This is as it should be, this is a big event for Ah Liu, my sister and brother-in-law asked me to say hello to your in-laws on her behalf, I wish you a happy family and all the best!" ”
"Thanks, it's all the same." The father-in-law replied.
After chatting for a while, my mother-in-law told us that we could eat, and my father-in-law let us into the dining room.
The table top of the restaurant has been replaced with a large tabletop, and the table is full of dishes, and there are two bottles of Moutai wine and two bottles of drinks.
"In-laws, you are distinguished guests, please sit down." The father-in-law was polite.
"In-laws, this time you are born, you are familiar with it twice, don't be so polite, don't be so polite." Uncle said.
They gave in for a while, and my father-in-law sat at the top with my uncle, and the others sat down, Wanfang and I sat together, and my mother-in-law sat next to Wanfang.
The father-in-law stood up, picked up the wine glass and said, "My family, welcome to you." Today you came to the door for Aliu to get married, we are all very happy, you have worked hard, I salute you! ”
The eldest uncle, second uncle, and military brother all stood up, picked up the cup, and the uncle said: "In-laws, you are too polite, Ah Liu can talk to such a good child as Wanfang, our whole family is very happy, I thank you for cultivating such a good child." ”
"Haha, in-laws, you're polite." My father-in-law clinked glasses with them one by one as he spoke, and when I had finished drinking, I hurriedly poured the wine again.
After drinking, everyone sat down, and the father-in-law said:
"In-laws, Ah Liu is also very good, I heard my wife say that Director Tang of the Public Security Bureau once met her during a meeting, and Director Tang specially told her that he had chosen a good son-in-law, and that Ah Liu's work was very good!"
"He is still a child, there are many things, and he still needs a lot of guidance from you and his mother-in-law, if you don't go anywhere, you forgive me." Uncle politely.
"Lao Ke, as soon as you talk about Ah Liu, you talk a lot, drink and eat with your in-laws." Mother-in-law reminded.
"In-laws, I also toast you." As she spoke, the mother-in-law stood up and raised her glass, and several of them drank it all again.
After the basic politeness was over, everyone drank casually, Fang and I interspersed toasts to everyone, and this table of meals was eaten for nearly two hours before it was finished.
After eating, everyone sat back in the living room to drink tea and chat. Wanfang and I helped my mother-in-law clean up the table.
After sitting for a while, we set off for home, my father-in-law, mother-in-law and others sent us downstairs, and Wanfang sent us to the station, bought tickets for us, and left for home when the car started.
On the third day of junior high school, we went to Wanfang's house to pay New Year's greetings, and we went to the second uncle's house, the third aunt's house, and Director Wu's house to pay New Year's greetings. In the evening, I did not go back to my hometown. The next time, I went home, and then relatives and friends paid New Year's greetings. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Wanfang's house again. (To be continued.) )
