Chapter 14: A Brother Marries a Daughter-in-law
"Alright, it's out of the pot." Chen Zimo raised his voice and put a delicate enamel basin on the dining table outside and said, "The boiled fish is ready." ”
"Yes, Dad, Mom, come and sit down and eat. It's almost done. Man Jia said with a greeting.
"Yes." Chen Jiarun responded, stood up and walked over, glanced at it and said, "It looks pretty good." I just don't know how it tastes? ”
"Don't you like spicy food, you definitely like the taste too." Chen Zimo said while serving the food: "Mom, don't sit there either, come over and eat." I also made mushu meat, and I know you can't eat it at all. ”
Yan Xiujuan happily walked over and said, "In the end, it's my own son, and I still know my fucking appetite." ”
Man Jia served the rice, put it on the table and said, "Just a bowl of tomato and egg soup for one person." ”
"Yes, right away." Chen Zimo said: "You eat first." ”
Man Jia was really hungry, but looking at Yan Xiujuan, they didn't move their chopsticks, and they weren't too embarrassed, so they just raised their chopsticks and said, "Dad, Mom, you can eat too." ”
Chen Jiarun picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat. Yan Xiujuan coughed and said, "Don't wait for your son to eat together." How can you be so disregardful of people. It's like no heart and no lungs. ”
The smile on Man Jia's face stiffened, and the hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, but he didn't say anything, just put the chopsticks down, and then sat there quietly.
After about ten minutes, Chen Zimo came out with a small pot of egg soup, and when he saw the outside, he said with some surprise: "Why don't you eat it?" ”
"I'm not waiting for you." Man Jia said in a somewhat unkind tone.
Yan Xiujuan glanced at Man Jia before saying, "I'm thinking about waiting for you to eat together." Okay, don't be busy, there are enough dishes on this table, let's sit down and eat together. You've been busy all afternoon. ”
"Hehe, it's okay." Chen Zimo sat next to Man Jia with a smile, and carefully touched Man Jia's leg under the table, Man Jia's face was a little cold, as if he didn't pay attention, just holding chopsticks and eating silently.
"Zimo, your brother is getting married." Yan Xiujuan suddenly spoke.
"Ah, yes, that's wonderful, girl. How's your character? Chen Zimo asked.
"Your third aunt's family is in the village, and the people are not bad. The appearance can be regarded as Zhou Zheng. He is very diligent and a good worker. Yan Xiujuan took a bite of rice and said: "Children in the countryside are like this, they are not as noble as those in the city. ”
The chopsticks in Man Jia's hand paused, didn't say anything, and continued to eat his own. Chen Zimo subconsciously glanced at Man Jia, seeing that she didn't seem to have any expression, and knew in his heart that she must have cared.
"Actually, now there is no distinction between rural and urban areas. Some of them are more difficult to serve in the countryside than in the cities. Chen Zimo said: "Look, I don't even know about this, but fortunately you came to tell me." ”
"We haven't been talking for a few days. However, it looks like it's pretty much the same. In another month, we plan to set things down, after all, the boss is not small, given it, we can be considered to have completed a thought. Yan Xiujuan said: "So this time we came, there is still something to do." ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Zimo asked, "Is it a bride price or something?" ”
Yan Xiujuan thought for a while and said, "We plan to build a new house for your brother." If he is not as promising as you, he must be in the village, but to marry a daughter-in-law, he must have a house. Now your dad and I don't live in a big place, it's old. When the girl's house came out, they said that there was a new house. Your brother's fingers, you don't know. Now it's not a complete person, the whole is crippled, and it's not easy to find a good family. So I discussed with your father, and if the girl asked for anything, she would do it. ”
Chen Zimo frowned and thought about it, it is true that his younger brother Chen Ziwen blew off the little finger of his left hand when he was a child, and he didn't find the half of the amputated finger, so he kept delaying it like this.
"It's time to build a house." Chen Zi thought for a while and said.
"So." Chen Jiarun suddenly spoke: "Let's think about it, and get some money on your side." Our old couple doesn't have much in their hands now, so we borrowed a lot when we bought you this house. You earn more, add some to it. ”
Chen Zimo glanced at Man Jia, who was eating, and saw that she still didn't seem to have any expression, a little impatient, and gently kicked Man Jia below, and Man Jia said: "Well, Ziwen's marriage is a big deal, how much can we help." ”
"Yes, I must let Ziwen marry his daughter-in-law." Chen Zimo said: "I will also bring it to the house one day, let me and Man Jia also take a look." ”
"That's for sure, you'll see it then." Yan Xiujuan said.
