Chapter 100: The Joy of Housewarming
In the second lunar month, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the Su family's yard is finally completed.
On the day of the housewarming, the people who came to the Su family to congratulate were like carp crossing the river, regardless of whether they had a friendship before or not, they all echoed each other from afar to come to eat and drink.
In response to the sentence 'poor relatives are separated, rich and noble others are together', and today's Su family is already the richest family within a radius of 100 miles.
Su Qingtong looked at his father who was maneuvering around with people, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
He likes to be lively the most, and in everyone's compliments, he has long forgotten the embarrassment of being charged for debts when he was poor, and he has also forgotten that he was sued the year before last and almost lost his job.
At this time, my father was 'the spring breeze proud, and he saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ’
And Su Qingtong was also happy because of this, and felt a long sigh of relief, finally the world has changed, and he no longer has to worry about the days of displacement.
On such a happy day, Zhao Qiye and Grandma Zhao Qi naturally wanted to come over to congratulate them, along with their four sons, two daughters and more than a dozen grandchildren, and a full hall was filled.
Grandma Zhao Qi is an old lady who speaks very loudly, she is not tall, but she does things neatly, and her mouth is very good at coaxing people.
When her husband was beaten as a leftist, she supported a large family by herself, supported four sons and two daughters, not to mention, and gave each son a family and a business, and married a good wife.
Because of the comparison of this matter, Grandma Zhao Qi's heart has always been in her arms, complaining that her brother and sister-in-law did not take care of Su Xiuqian's marriage, if she was raised by her side, where would she wronged her son to marry a woman with a wild seed to enter the door.
Zhao Qiye is diametrically opposed to Zhao Qi's grandmother, he speaks softly, is quite tall, polite, and only loves to read and learn.
Before liberation, he was the son of a well-known local squire family, and when he was young, he founded a school in the county with the children of several large families, which is the predecessor of today's No. 2 Middle School.
It's just that he didn't hide from the movement of that year.
Because of the bad family composition, he was sent back to the countryside, and he also implicated his wife and children to live a difficult life, so he has been pressed by the strong Grandma Zhao Qi at home.
Back then, in order to survive, Zhao Qi's grandmother broke off the relationship with Zhao Qiye without hesitation, which brought up several children. Who knew that two years ago, the government rehabilitated Zhao Qiye, and Zhao Qi's grandmother immediately changed her face, and she originally slept in a separate room for decades, but when she was old, she moved to her husband's room and set up camp.
Because of this incident, several daughters-in-law have been laughed at in private for several years, but in front of her, the daughters-in-law dare not make a mistake, and they have to curry favor with her.
Today, it is the first time that Grandma Zhao Qi has come to the Su family in these years, and she didn't expect this son to reach such a point, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Her own mother still lives in a low mud house, but her son's house is empty with so many beautiful and luxurious big houses, and she can't live in them.
Zhao Qiye didn't have the old lady's thoughts, but was sincerely happy for his son.
"In the future, we don't have to worry about Xiuqian anymore, okay, good."
That's what he said over and over again.
And Grandma Zhao Qi said to Su Xiuqian with tears in her eyes: "I have always remembered that your life here is not good, but I have four sons over there to worry about, and I really can't take care of it, I can't sleep every time I think of you, and now that I see you, I will be relieved." ”
Su Xiuqian hurriedly said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
She said again: "Don't blame me for giving you to others to raise back then, I also thought that the conditions on their side were good, how did I know that one day his family would collapse, this is also an unexpected thing, I originally wanted you to enjoy happiness, who knew that you would suffer so many years of sin." ”
The daughter-in-law beside her comforted her and said, "Isn't Xiuqian living a good life now?" On this happy day, you should not mention the unhappy things, so as not to touch your brows. ”
"Don't think too much about it, the future is the time to be truly happy."
"Now that Xiuqian is good, you should be happy, why are you still crying."
Grandma Zhao Qi wiped a handful of tears with a handkerchief and said: "Where did I cry, I was happy, and now I finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, otherwise where can I be at peace as a mother, day and night, I think about you suffering from sin, you can't eat well, you can't sleep well, ........... you can't sleep well." ”
Su Xiuqian heard his mother say it sincerely, and he also had mixed feelings.
When the two mothers and sons complained to each other, they happened to be heard by Wang Wenming's wife.
She vividly told Grandma Wang San and Uncle Su.
Uncle Su didn't think there was anything yet, but Grandma Wang San's heart was not good.
Not only is she not Su Xiuqian's biological mother, but she is not even an adoptive mother, but now she enjoys his blessings, if the life is still as before, it will be forgotten, but looking at the sister-in-law's style, singing and writing, this is obviously wanting to be the master of the Su family, and not take her sister-in-law seriously.
However, Grandma Wang San was not in a hurry, and sincerely admired the original Grandma Su's methods, when she was so poor, she was willing to spend 800 catties of millet to buy out the family relationship between her son and her sister-in-law, which shows that she has foresight.
Now, as long as the sister-in-law has gone too far, she will use this word to block her to see if she still has the face to stay here.
It's just that on this happy day, she was not happy in her heart after all, just like eating a pot of undercooked rice, very raw.
In the small living room of Dongfeng Building, Wang Xuemei was talking to Su Xiuqian's eldest sister.
Among Su Xiuqian's many siblings, only Zhao Yingying's father and this eldest sister have the best relationship with his family.
Su Qingtong also got along well with her aunt's daughter Zou Huiying.
Zou Huiying is nineteen years old this year, and she can be said to be twenty years old, but she has not yet found a good partner.
The eldest aunt was very anxious, so she asked people everywhere to help find her mother-in-law's family.
Zou Huiying is not very happy in marriage because she looks ordinary.
Her unhappiness was manifested in the four or five objects that Wang Xuemei helped her introduce, all of them were boys who didn't want her.
And this winter, Wang Xuemei and Su Xiuqian will introduce Zou Huiying to the very handsome boy next door to the school.
The boy's name is Zhou Zhiyi, one year younger than Zou Huiying, and he was the first person Wang Xuemei introduced to her.
In Zou Huiying's words, from her blind date at the age of eighteen to now, no one has ever introduced such an outstanding character to her.
Zhou Zhiyi's house is next door to the school, his father and Su Xiuqian were classmates when they were teenagers, and now they don't look up and look down, so they naturally have a somewhat different relationship from ordinary people.
In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Zhou Zhiyi's father would pick a few pomegranates and stuff them out of the classroom window and ask Su Xiuqian to bring them back for the children to eat, but Su Qingtong was never interested, the taste was too sour.
One day, Su Xiuqian told Zhou Zhiyi's father that he had a niece who had reached marriageable age, and asked him to help find it, who knew that Zhou Zhiyi's father introduced his son to him, so there was this blind date.
Zhou Zhiyi was happily asked by Su Xiuqian to come on a blind date, who knew that he would be disappointed when he saw Zou Huiying, and the marriage would end without a hitch.
But Zou Huiying remembered him, so that her vision became higher and higher, always comparing Zhou Zhiyi, and she didn't marry until she was very old.
But in her heart, she believes in this uncle who was taken out the most, because the person he introduced to her was the best.
So he walked around with the Su family more and more frequently, and he also obeyed the family affairs arranged by Wang Xuemei.
Wang Xuemei has been helping Zou Huiying introduce her partner later, but none of them have succeeded.
Later, Su Qingtong's classmate Su Xinghao was also introduced, Zhou Huiying was twenty-four years old at that time, and she was a real older leftover girl, and Su Xinghao was only nineteen years old.
Su Xinghao's father died early, his mother married another person, and he was raised by his uncle, and his family situation was very average, but fortunately, he was smart and capable, and he belonged to the potential stock of hard work.
With his conditions at the time, under the condition that Zou Huiying was willing to marry him without a dowry, it was not considered an insult to him.
But in the end, it didn't work, and Su Qingtong felt guilty about this matter.
