At the banquet, Susie also met Zhou Zhiqing's sisters, and they all looked honest.

However, each of his four sisters gave birth to at least three children, and more than a dozen children got together and chattered.

The older children still know how to hold chopsticks, and the younger children can grab them directly, and the black little hands grab the dishes on the table and stuff them into their mouths, which provokes many relatives on the Xiao family's side to look sideways.

Zhou Zhiqing's four sisters only cared about eating by themselves at first, maybe because their stomachs were full, but they finally noticed that others looked at her children wrongly, and hurriedly scolded them.

Zhou Zhiqing's four brothers-in-law sat at a table with Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan was wearing a black suit, sitting there with a big horse golden knife, and his momentum was compelling.

Although Xiao Zhan wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, after he only said hello to Zhou Zhiqing's four brothers-in-law, there was nothing to talk about between the two sides.

And Zhou Zhiqing's four brothers-in-law also seemed to be a little afraid of Xiao Zhan, so they only lowered their heads to eat and drink, and no one paid attention to Xiao Zhan.

A table is arranged for more than a dozen people, and the seats are a bit cramped.

As soon as the food was served, the hands were slower, and the dishes on the plate were gone, and Susie simply stopped eating.

When everyone had almost eaten, Susie said to Guo Haiying beside her, "Mom, the child is still at home, I don't worry, I'll go back first." ”

Guo Haiying didn't eat much, only a few pieces of food, and when she heard Susie's words, she quickly nodded and said, "Go back quickly, you are hungry too, go home and let Sister-in-law Lin make food for you, eat whatever you want." ”

Susie nodded and drove away.

After returning home, before entering the house, Susie heard the cries of her two sons.

Susie hurriedly opened the door and walked in, and saw Sister-in-law Lin and Old Man Xiao holding a child and coaxing.

Seeing Susie coming back, Old Man Xiao hurriedly greeted, "Xixi, you can be counted as back, these two children are hungry." ”

Old Man Xiao looked distressed, and Susie hurriedly stepped forward.

After the two boys saw Susie, they stopped crying at once, and looked at Susie pitifully with a pair of big teary eyes, Susie's heart softened suddenly, and she quickly picked up the two children and went upstairs back to her room.

When the two children were just born, Xiao Zhan was afraid that the two children would not have enough milk to eat, so he specially asked people to buy milk powder from Hong Kong.

Unexpectedly, the two children didn't eat at all, they only recognized Susie.

Susie fed her son, and Susie carried them to the first floor.

Seeing that the two little guys finally stopped crying, Old Man Xiao hurriedly smiled and took the two little guys over, put them on the sofa on the first floor, and played with the two little guys.

While playing with his two great-grandsons, Old Man Xiao asked Susie, "Nothing happened at the wedding, right?" ”

Susie hurriedly smiled, "No, don't worry." ”

Old Man Xiao originally planned to go, but in recent years, Old Man Xiao's health has become worse and worse, and the banquet was too noisy, and the Xiao family didn't dare to let the old man go out.

An hour later, Guo Haiying, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Zhan returned.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Zhan have always been introverted, and Old Man Xiao didn't see anything on the faces of the two, but Guo Haiying looked tired.

After Guo Haiying went home, she went upstairs directly to her room to rest.

After Guo Haiying left, Old Man Xiao asked Xiao Qi, "What's wrong with your daughter-in-law?" Did something upset happen at the banquet? ”

Xiao Qi was puzzled, "No, Dad, you think too much." ”

When Old Man Xiao heard Xiao Qi say this, he didn't ask any more questions.

After a lively day, after the guests left, Sun Xiu'e took her four daughters to start cleaning up the mess, and Zhou Zhiqing took her four brothers-in-law to return tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans.

There weren't many dishes served, and there were so many people arranged at each table, there were almost no leftovers, but even so, Sun Xiu'e still took her four daughters and poured the remaining vegetable soup into a big bucket.

Xiao Yuwei saw that everyone was busy, and she also took the initiative to help.

Seeing the bucket of vegetable soup, Xiao Yuwei struggled to lift it up and poured it down.

Zhou Yan, who looked back and saw this scene, couldn't help but exclaim, "Ouch, my God! ”

Zhou Yan hurried to Xiao Yuwei's side, looked at the vegetable soup that was poured out by Xiao Yuwei with a distressed face, and patted her thigh again and again, "My mother, what a waste this is, that soup is full of oil!" ”

Xiao Yuwei looked at a loss, "Eldest sister, I thought this was going to be dumped......"

Zhou Yan said dissatisfiedly, "Yuwei, it's not that the eldest sister said you, it's that you don't know how to live, although there are no vegetables in the soup, but the soup is full of oil, let's buy two steamed buns and dip them in the oil soup to eat, it's also very beautiful!" ”

Xiao Yuwei listened to it and couldn't help but retort, "Eldest sister, that vegetable soup is stained with a lot of people's saliva, and it's a little unhygienic, let's not eat it, right?" ”

Zhou Yan glanced at Xiao Yuwei, and said in a strange manner, "I know that you people in the city have a lot of rules, but we countrymen don't have so many rules, what's wrong with saliva?" If you eat it, you won't get sick! ”

"Just this vegetable stall in our village, it is all the best things, if someone's daughter-in-law steals the vegetable stall, the whole village is scolding her for being ignorant and not living."

Xiao Yuwei's face turned pale when she was said, and then she thought, maybe she was really wrong, life in the city is indeed a little better than in the countryside, and the people in the countryside are having a hard time, and they are indeed reluctant to throw it away with some vegetable soup.

At the same time, Xiao Yuwei also felt that even if she wanted to fall down, she had to ask for the consent of others in advance.

So Xiao Yuwei smiled apologetically at Zhou Yan, "Sister, I'm sorry, I won't next time." ”

Xiao Yuwei will definitely not eat these vegetable soups, but if Zhou Yan insists on eating them, then Xiao Yuwei will not say anything, after all, everyone's lifestyle is different.

Zhou Yan saw that Xiao Yuwei was quite obedient, so she lost her anger and said to Xiao Yuwei, "Yuwei, it's good that the eldest sister knows the conditions of your family, then you are married now, you should think more about your little family in the future, you must be able to live, you must be frugal, and you can't spend money lavishly." ”

After all, today is Xiao Yuwei's wedding day, and after being reprimanded by Zhou Yan, Xiao Yuwei must not feel comfortable in her heart, but thinking that the woman in front of her is her husband's eldest sister, and listening to Zhou Zhiqing say that his sisters have been good to her since she was a child, so Xiao Yuwei endured this breath and nodded obediently.

Zhou Zhiqing happened to come back from sending tables, chairs and benches at this time, and when he saw Zhou Yan talking to Xiao Yuwei, he stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Eldest sister, what are you talking about?" ”

Zhou Yan saw her little brother coming, and without waiting for Xiao Yuwei to speak, she hurriedly said, "Zhiqing, you don't know, Yuwei threw out the vegetable soup just now, but it made me feel distressed." ”

When Zhou Zhiqing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sister, just pour it out, so many people have eaten it and stained so much saliva, let's not want it." ”

Zhou Yan saw Zhou Zhiqing say the same, and immediately said unhappily, "There is a lot of oil in that vegetable soup, have you forgotten that when we were children, we didn't necessarily eat oily dishes a few times a year?" ”

Zhou Zhiqing smiled, "Sister, isn't life better now?" ”

Zhou Yan was unconvinced, "Life is better, so you can't spend money indiscriminately, you can't waste things." ”

Zhou Zhiqing didn't argue with Zhou Yan, only smiled and nodded, then looked at Xiao Yuwei and comforted, "Yuwei, don't care, my eldest sister is used to being simple." ”

Xiao Yuwei felt a lot better when she saw that Zhou Zhiqing was exactly the same as what she said, and after listening to Zhou Zhiqing's words, she smiled and nodded.

Zhou Yan saw Zhou Zhiqing and Xiao Yuwei frowning, turned around and left to find Sun Xiu'e.

At this time, Sun Xiu'e was looking for the bucket of vegetable soup, and after looking for a while, she didn't find it, and when she saw Zhou Yan coming, Sun Xiu'e asked, "Big girl, have you seen a bucket of vegetable soup?" ”

Zhou Yan immediately came to Sun Xiu'e's side, "Mother, that bucket of vegetable soup was poured out by your good daughter-in-law." ”

"What?" Sun Xiu'e was a little unhappy, "That vegetable soup is full of oil, how can you pour it out?" It's also a waste! ”

Sun Xiu'e pulled Zhou Yan, "You don't know, I have lived in this city for several days, and I found that the food eaten by people in this city is all bought, and it costs a lot of money just to buy vegetables every day." ”

"With those vegetable soups, let's eat every day and eat with steamed buns dipped in vegetable soup, we can save a lot of vegetable money!"

Zhou Yan said, "Mother, I think so too, but your good daughter-in-law said that the vegetable soup was stained with a lot of people's saliva, it was not clean, unhygienic, and couldn't be eaten!" ”

Sun Xiu'e said, "I don't know what unhygienic is, in our village, if anyone can eat oily vegetable soup every day, then life is good." ”

Zhou Yan also nodded again and again, "Who said it wasn't!" ”

Sun Xiu'e immediately spoke, "I'll talk about her, if you get married in the future, you can't live like this." ”

Zhou Yan hurriedly grabbed Sun Xiu'e, "Don't go, I already told her just now."

When Sun Xiu'e heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Big girl, you are still sensible." ”

finally cleaned up the things, and the big family flocked to Zhou Zhiqing's wedding room.

Zhou Zhiqing was divided into a two-bedroom house, one of which was a marriage room, although the house was small, it also put a large bed of one meter and five wide, but Xiao Yuwei's dowry was too much, and the already small room was stuffed to the brim.

Even the other room that Zhou Zhiqing set aside for Sun Xiu'e to live in was also stuffed, and even there were a lot of things in the living room. This is still because the Xiao family knows that Zhou Zhiqing's house is not big, so they didn't buy much, because there were too many things to buy, and Zhou Zhiqing's family couldn't put them down, so Guo Haiying had to give Xiao Yuwei some more money.

Zhou Zhiqing's house was already small, and more than 20 people squeezed in, and it seemed that there was no place to stand.

More than a dozen children were playing around in the house, while Zhou Zhiqing's four sisters and four brothers-in-law sat in the living room, talking and laughing. Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Xiu'e said to Zhou Zhiqing and Xiao Yuwei, "Go back to your room and sleep, leave us alone." ”

Zhou Zhiqing smiled embarrassedly, and then followed Xiao Yuwei into the room.

Zhou Zhiqing also really likes Xiao Yuwei, the two entered the room, they were newly married, and they were about to take off their clothes and sleep, but the door was immediately knocked on, and the knock on the door immediately interrupted the next action of the two.

Just as Zhou Zhiqing opened his mouth and wanted to ask who it was, Sun Xiu'e immediately scolded outside, "Stinky boy, don't disturb your uncle......"

The sound insulation of the house is not good, and the sound of children playing outside and the sound of adults talking clearly came into the ears of Zhou Zhiqing and Xiao Yuwei.

When Zhou Zhiqing continued, Xiao Yuwei was in no mood and sighed, "Forget it today, the sound insulation of the house is not good, I have a little ......"

Zhou Zhiqing understood that Xiao Yuwei was shy, Zhou Zhiqing hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, you're tired today, hurry up and sleep." ”

Zhou Zhiqing and Xiao Yuwei were tired all day today, and the two hugged each other and slept together.

Zhou Yan's ears were attached to the door, listening to the lack of movement in the room, her face showed surprise, and then she left lightly, came to Sun Xiu'e's side, and said in a low voice, "Mother, why is there no movement inside?" ”

Sun Xiu'e glared at Zhou Yan'er angrily, "I'm not ashamed, what nonsense is you talking in front of so many children?" ”

Zhou Yan was reprimanded by Sun Xiu'e, so she had to smile and didn't continue eavesdropping.

Zhou Zhiqing's second sister, Zhou Juan hugged her youngest son, and asked Sun Xiu'e with a bitter face, "Mother, where are we sleeping tonight?" Yesterday we slept in Zhiqing's wedding room, and tonight in Zhiqing's cave room, where did our family sleep? ”

Sun Xiu'e said, "Let the children sleep on the bed, and you adults will lay on the ground!" ”

Zhou Zhiqing's third sister, Zhou Hong was a little unhappy, "Mother, it's cold underground." ”

Sun Xiu'e glared at Zhou Hong, "If you don't sleep on the ground, let your child sleep on the ground." ”

As soon as Zhou Hong heard this, he was silent.

A dozen children couldn't fit in the bed, and finally the younger children slept on the bed, and the older children also slept on the ground, so they just made do with it.

In the middle of the night, when Xiao Yuwei got up and wanted to go to the toilet, she was startled as soon as she opened the door.

Although the lights in the living room are turned off, through the moonlight, you can vaguely see that people are sleeping on the floor in the living room.

Xiao Yuwei took a closer look, and the people sleeping on the ground were Zhou Zhiqing's sister and brother-in-law, and her mother-in-law was also sleeping on the ground.

Several adults filled the living room, and Xiao Yuwei didn't even have a place to put her feet, let alone go to the bathroom.

Xiao Yuwei had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house, Zhou Zhiqing was sleeping soundly, and Xiao Yuwei didn't want to disturb him, so he sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't sleep.

Finally waiting for the movement outside, Xiao Yuwei, who was sleeping in a daze, opened her eyes suddenly, opened the door, and rushed into the bathroom in the surprised eyes of everyone.

Staying in the bathroom, Xiao Yuwei finally regretted it at this time and did not accept the suite given to him by her brother.

Before getting married, Xiao Zhan told him that he would give her a set of courtyards, a standard courtyard house, which is very large and close to the Xiao family's old house.

It's just that Zhou Zhiqing has strong self-esteem and is unwilling to accept Xiao Zhan's gift, so Xiao Yuwei didn't ask for it.

But now, Xiao Yuwei really regrets it in her heart.

But Xiao Yuwei went out of the bathroom, and Zhou Zhiqing's sisters and brothers-in-law also began to take turns to enter the bathroom.

After Zhou Zhi came to his senses, he went out to buy two large bags of steamed buns.

Sun Xiu'e said to everyone, "Let's eat steamed bread and vegetable soup in the morning, there are too many of us, the pot is too small, we can't boil so much porridge, let's drink boiled water!" ”

Everyone naturally has no opinion, although Xiao Yuwei poured a bucket of vegetable soup yesterday, Sun Xiu'e, as well as her four sisters, also collected half a bucket.

Sun Xiu'e took out two large bowls, carefully poured out two bowls of vegetable soup, and each person gave two steamed buns.

The children couldn't wait to take the steamed buns and dip them in the vegetable soup, and they were happy to eat.

Xiao Yuwei took a steamed bun and ate it slowly, but she didn't eat a bite of the vegetable soup.

After eating, Sun Xiu'e said to Zhou Zhiqing, "Zhiqing, let your sister and brother-in-law not go back to their hometown these days, you can find a job for them here, is this reliable?" ”

Zhou Zhiqing hurriedly said, "This matter is reliable, the policy has been changed in recent years, allowing private businesses to be done, and many people have come to the capital to work, and they can earn dozens of yuan every month, which is better than farming at home." ”

Sun Xiu'e was very happy to hear this, "That Zhiqing, then I will entrust you with the work of your sisters and brothers-in-law." ”

Zhou Zhiqing smiled, "Mother, don't worry, this matter is on me." ”

When Xiao Yuwei heard what Sun Xiu'e meant, it seemed that Zhou Zhiqing's sisters and brothers-in-law were not returning to their hometowns and wanted to find a job in the capital.

Xiao Yuwei didn't object, after all, farming in her hometown is indeed not as good as coming out to work and finding a job to earn more.

After Zhou Zhiqing finished eating, he said to Xiao Yuwei, "Daughter-in-law, I will take my sister and brother-in-law out to find a job, and you can rest at home." ”

Xiao Yuwei smiled and nodded, and then watched Zhou Zhiqing lead a group of people out.

Only Sun Xiu'e, Xiao Yuwei, and more than 10 children are left in the family.

When she ate at noon, she still ate steamed buns and vegetable soup, and Sun Xiu'e saw that Xiao Yuwei only ate dry steamed buns, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything.

The dozen or so children were more lively and looked at Xiao Yuwei curiously.

The eldest of them mustered up the courage to ask Xiao Yuwei, "Auntie, what kind of work do you do?" ”

Xiao Yuwei smiled, "I work in a publishing house. ”

With the first one taking the lead, the rest of the children immediately asked.

"Auntie, what does a publishing house do?"

"Auntie, how much is your monthly salary?"

"Aunt, my mother said that your family is rich, is it true?"

Faced with the problems of these children, Xiao Yuwei was not impatient, and said with a smile, "My job is mainly to translate foreign books, and my salary is about 100 yuan a month." ”

Hearing Xiao Yuwei say that her monthly salary was about 100 yuan, several children suddenly exclaimed.

"Auntie, you have a lot of salary!"

"Auntie, can you earn a hundred yuan a month? That's amazing! ”

In fact, the reason why Xiao Yuwei can earn so much is also because she translates more books every month, many of which are bonuses.

Xiao Yuwei said with a smile, "As long as you study hard and get admitted to university, you can find such a good job after graduation." ”

"Really? Then I'm going to college! ”

"I'm going to college too!"

Sun Xiu'e on the side saw it and said indifferently: "What kind of university does the girl go to?" Only when a boy goes to college can he be successful! ”
