CHAPTER XLIV
Honglin finally felt a little relieved after listening to his mother's words, and when he was about to have dinner, Lin Ruining came back, he came in and went to pull Chen Wenyue's hand, Chen Wenyue shook off his hand, but Lin Ruining grabbed her tightly.
"Wen Yue, I have already discussed with my parents, or Lin Ruide, since the two brothers are married, they will have their own lives in the future, and they will plant one for each of their parents' fields, and then one person will give the old nine hundred catties of grain, and each person will give some gifts to his parents according to his own wishes during the New Year's Festival, and during the New Year, the two old people will spend it with us, after all, I am the eldest son, on the first day of the first month, they came up for lunch, and the rest of the time they ate at their own house." Lin Ruining said anxiously.
Chen Wenyue listened, and felt a little satisfied, that Song Guizhi looked like the kind of lazy thing to do, and she liked to be greedy and cheap, if they didn't separate, she would definitely take away the things they took out to the old man, and their money was also earned by hard work, and they didn't want to be cheap to that annoying woman.
"After you left, the brothers and parents in the family all talked about her, and no one will dare to say that next time." Lin Ruining looked at Chen Wenyue with some apprehension, he knew the status of the two children in Chen Wenyue's heart.
"Got it, have you eaten, sit down and eat." Chen Wenyue accepted it when she saw it, and did not dwell on it anymore.
Lin Ruining saw that her attitude softened, and knew that what she did had finally satisfied her, but it was really disappointing to think that this incident would happen on the first day of the new year this year.
The second day of junior high school was the day when they returned to their parents' house, Honglin and they arrived at their grandmother's house early, and there was a strange man in the house, who didn't seem to be from the village, and spoke with some strange tones.
Honglin glanced at him strangely, but Chen Wenxiang pulled Chen Wenyue to stand aside and muttered something.
"Honglin, how do you feel about your brother-in-law?" Chen Wenke stuffed a piece of milk candy into Honglin's mouth, and said with a mysterious look.
Honglin listened and covered his mouth, could it be that the aunt found a man from the county seat? Seeing that such a man looks good, I don't know how to behave? At first glance, I don't think it's the kind of person who is pompous.
"What do you think of the second uncle?" Honglin knew that the second uncle was great now, and his business was getting bigger and bigger, and he had bought several stores and invited five or six people to help him look after the store.
"In my opinion, it can only be regarded as reluctant, but I am a middle school teacher, so it's not bad to rush to this point." For the teachers, they have a kind of admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
"Does Auntie like it?" Honglin thinks that everything else is easy to say, but it depends on whether the aunt likes it or not.
"You stupid girl, if your aunt doesn't like it, how can you let him come." Chen Wenke knocked her on the head.
"Second uncle, if you knock me stupid, you have to support me." Honglin said dissatisfiedly.
"Honglin, when you are in junior high school, come to the county seat." Chen Wenke said.
Honglin thought about it, it is now eighty-seven years, and she will be in junior high school for eight or eight years, and eighty-nine years is the wave of going south to work, and with more and more people going out to work, the economy of the county is slowly developing, if they can move to the county seat earlier, there will definitely be a lot more opportunities. I just don't know if Chen Wenyue is willing to go.
"Let me ask my mother, you have to support me when you go to the county seat." Honglin blackmailed without mercy.
"Okay, then you will be my daughter from now on." Chen Wenke didn't care at all, but how could the habits of a businessman make him suffer?
"Who do you want to be your daughter?" Chen Wenyue's hand was on his ear.
"Sister, isn't this niece the same as her daughter?" Chen Wenke said busily.
Honglin laughed politely at all, his uncle's expression just now was not like this, he just wanted to abduct her.
"Sister, do you want to come to the county seat?" Chen Wenke asked.
"To the county seat? What do you do in the county? Chen Wenyue hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"You can do a lot, you can also open a clothing store, you can also buy something else, anyway, I think the form is getting better and better, and the sooner you go out, the easier it is to get rich." Chen Wenke often goes to the south, so of course he can see farther.
Chen Wenyue was a little moved when she heard this, and she could still hear some gossip in the district, if she went to the county seat, would all this be overturned.
"Okay, I'll go with you in a few days, and then make plans." Chen Wenyue said happily.
Honglin originally thought that he needed to spend energy to persuade her, but he didn't expect her to agree so quickly, which was very unexpected.
"You're all coming in to eat." Chen Wenfei ran out and shouted.
Today's meal prepared by my grandmother is very rich, in addition to the usual chicken and fish, there is also seafood, I think it was also brought back by the second uncle, and there is a bowl of braised rabbit meat, which is also rare.
"Deliang, sit down and eat, you're welcome." Grandpa pointed to the seat and said to his brother-in-law.
"Uncle, you're welcome." Li Deliang said with a red face.
"Are you a brother-in-law?" Hongmei asked curiously?
Li Deliang's face turned even redder when he heard her, his eyes glanced at Chen Wenxiang, but he said patiently, "I am your sister-in-law, what do you think?" ”
Hongmei may not be able to understand this, tilted her head and thought about it, and then said, "Auntie agreed, I agreed." ”
Looking at her serious appearance and her chubby little face, everyone finally couldn't help laughing.
Hongmei likes to eat fish, she struggled to clamp it, but she couldn't clip it, so she had to turn her head and ask her mother for help, Chen Wenyue just entered the kitchen, she was about to cry with her mouth flattened, Li Deliang saw that he hurriedly picked a piece of fish and carefully picked out the thorns and put it in her bowl.
Hongmei saw that she could finally eat the fish, she grinned, and didn't forget to say thank you before eating, Li Deliang didn't care about eating herself, and helped her pick the fish and pick the thorns. Honglin saw it and felt that his personality was not bad, and he should be very good to his aunt in the future.
Grandparents also watched from the side, and there was a little more satisfaction in their eyes, Honglin especially likes to eat the red rabbit meat, it is very delicious, this is authentic rabbit meat, very tender, very fragrant.
"Honglin, I know you." After eating, Li Deliang actually took the initiative to talk to her.
"Brother-in-law, have you seen me?" Honglin asked puzzledly, it shouldn't be possible to see it, but she has been staying in the district and has not gone to the county seat.
"No, it's your aunt who says every day that my Honglin is very capable, and my Honglin is very smart, although I haven't seen it, I'm already familiar with it." Li Deliang is worthy of being a teacher, he speaks very kindly, which makes people listen to it very comfortably, like a spring breeze.
Honglin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she heard this, how does my aunt talk about her every day, she won't tell people, it's too difficult.
Li Deliang seemed to sense her thoughts, and smiled, "Your aunt likes you very much, and you are cuter than she said." ”
Honglin quickly chatted with him, he talked and laughed, and he was very erudite, and Honglin had a better impression of him. Chen Wenxiang saw that they were chatting happily and also participated, Honglin noticed that Li Deliang listened very patiently to what she said, even if he didn't approve of it, he wouldn't directly dismiss it, but euphemistically said his opinion, after Chen Wenxiang listened, if he found that he was wrong, he would give him a smile, if he still thought he was right, he would give him a roll of his eyes, Honglin looked at it on the side and thought it was very interesting.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, you're back." Chen Wenyue's voice came.
Honglin raised his head and looked, it turned out that Chen Wenxiao helped Li Qing back, Li Qing was about to give birth, his belly was already very big, and it was very difficult to walk.
"It's good that you're all still here, I'll come back after dinner, I'm afraid you'll go back." Li Qing took the chair handed to her by Chen Wenxiang, sat down slowly, straightened her legs and said.
"Sister-in-law, when did you give birth, you look like you're going to fall off?" Chen Wenxiang asked.
"It should be soon, and the counting days are just a few days." Li Qing touched his stomach and said with a smile.
Talking and laughing, seeing that it was a little early, Chen Wenyue and the others were ready to go back, and let them go to the district in a few days and have a meal together.
Honglin went to the master's house as usual on the third day of junior high school, but this time Jiang Xiaochen and Jiang Xiaoqian were not there, and neither of them came back for the New Year, saying that the sister-in-law's mother was sick.
"I heard that your uncle's Huaqing sent money back." When Honglin went to see his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law said.
"Really? Do you know where Sister Hua went? "Honglin still likes Hua Qing a lot, not like her annoying mother at all.
"I've only heard that you can ask your uncle about them." The sister-in-law took out the candy and gave it to her, and Honglin shook her head, she didn't like these snacks now.
Honglin came to Su Haiqiang's house, Jiang Yan saw that she was very enthusiastic, and asked why her mother didn't come together, Su Weiqing has grown up a lot, and she will babble and talk.
"Auntie, is Sister Hua a letter?" Honglin asked.
"Well, I sent a thousand yuan back to your uncle, Xie Shufen now makes money by blowing her daughter outside every day." Jiang Yan showed a disdainful expression.
"So where is Sister Hua now?" Honglin asked with some concern.
"You see you know where you care about Huaqing, but her mother doesn't care at all, I heard that she went to the south and worked in a factory, and said that she didn't want to come back now, but just told your uncle to let her sister study hard." Jiang Yan didn't tell her because she was a child.
Honglin listened and breathed a sigh of relief, her mother had always been angry about her running out, saying that if she hadn't been in charge of asking Su Haichu more back then, maybe she wouldn't have run away, and now with her news, her mother should be able to put her mind at ease.
Honglin lived in the master's house until the seventh day of the first month before returning to the district, and as soon as he returned to the district, he felt that the people on the street were discussing something, which should not be a bad thing, and he felt that the interest was quite high.
"Mom, is something going on?" Honglin asked.
"The district has decided to build a market, and it's right across from us." Chen Wenyue said.
Honglin listened, first stunned and then happy, if she is not mistaken, this market is sold to buy clothes, and the vegetable market is not very useful in this era, because it is basically self-sufficient, and the most is to buy some meat and the like.
"Then mom, you can also rent a shop and buy clothes." Although they also buy clothes now, after all, the place is only so big, and there are not many sales.
"Your uncle still told me to go to the county seat?" Chen Wenyue hesitated.
Honglin knew that she would definitely not be able to do this year, and if there was no change, her brother should be here soon.
"Sister Hua sent money back to her uncle." Honglin did not continue the issue.
"Really? Where has she gone now? Did you say it's okay to live outside? Chen Wenyue asked with concern.
"It should be good, I also went to the south." Honglin said.
Chen Wenyue sighed after hearing it and didn't speak again, if it weren't for such a mother, how much she followed Xie Wenke to work here in the county, who knows if she was wronged when she ran to the south.
