Chapter 414: Make up the dowry for Xiangxiang
Wu Jingyuan stood up, everyone noticed it, and looked at it in surprise.
No wonder everyone was surprised, the people present were all people from several large units in the county, and they were usually familiar with each other, even if they hadn't seen Han Jin's new daughter-in-law, they knew the situation in her family, after all, they were Ma Dadao's goddaughter, living in a circle, and everyone would be clear about their kinship.
Although the Wu family is not from this circle, they are cadres in the county after all, and everyone is familiar with each other. The Wu family has nothing to do with the Zhou family at all, why did his eldest son stand up and look like the eldest brother of the Zhou family's brothers and sisters!
Except for a few people present, the vast majority of people thought that Xiaoshan was the elder brother and Xiangxiang was the younger sister, and Han Jin simply didn't bother to explain.
Seeing Wu Jingyuan, the three hands in charge of receiving gifts and gifts secretly gestured to Han Jin: The Wu family gave a big gift.
In addition to the elders and close relatives and friends, the Wu family is the most gifted among all colleagues.
Han Jin quietly greeted Wu Jingyuan and his wife, no different from ordinary colleagues, but at the end, he mentioned, "If I didn't know that my lover's family is not related to Section Chief Wu's family, I would have thought that Comrade Wu was my brother-in-law who didn't entertain well." ”
Everyone laughed, everyone understood, and those who didn't understand should be lively, and there was no brain to think about anything else.
Xiaoshan and He Xiangxiang didn't say much, but Xiaoshan glanced at Xiaobao a few more times, this child was too similar to him when he was a child, and he would be a little suspicious when he said that his family was not related to the Wu family.
Of course he knows what relatives he has, and he lives in a county, so there is no reason why he doesn't recognize his relatives.
Xiaobao saw Xiangxiang again, Tang Juan didn't hold it and rushed over to hug her legs, but Han Jin blocked him without a trace, and the three hands dexterously carried him over, "The little boy looks really rare, go, uncle will take you to eat fried meatballs!" ”
Xiaobao was not attracted to meatballs like ordinary children, struggling to call her aunt, and even cried.
Three hands deliberately turned him towards his parents, "Which one is your aunt?" Are you here with the Wu family? Let's go, Uncle will take you to your aunt. ”
Waiting for Xiaobao to explain that he was looking for today's bride, Han Jin and Xiaoshan had already taken Xiangxiang to the main table, and the children were crying or something across several tables, and they could pretend not to hear in a group of persuasion and laughter.
Today they invited Mrs. Zhang from Beishan, as a family member to sit on the main seat, the old lady has a very good temper all her life, she speaks softly, and unexpectedly talks with Ma Dadao, who is hot-tempered and angry, and the two of them like Han Jin and his wife very much, and they have been chatting very well.
One of Ma Dadao's deputies has been an old friend of him for many years, so he joked with the strength of the wine, "Old Ma, your mother-in-law is really energetic, do you want to organize and worry about personal problems for you?" ”
Mrs. Zhang came from the war-torn hospital and had seen everything, so she didn't take this kind of obscure joke seriously at all, and went to toast with several old friends of Grandpa Han who were Han Jin's elders.
They are all old and mature characters at this table, and they all saw Wu Jingyuan, but no one mentioned it, so everyone didn't see the weirdness between him and the Zhou family brothers and sisters.
Until the end of the wedding banquet, Xiaobao didn't find a chance to talk to Xiangxiang when he left, but Xiaoshan took a lunch box of fried meatballs from the back kitchen and brought him back, and also took the opportunity to talk to the Wu family.
They didn't say anything today, not because they wanted to hide, but because the occasion was wrong. On the contrary, they must have taken the affairs of the Wu family to heart, but they chose to investigate clearly in private and take the initiative into their own hands.
The old lady insisted on going back to Beishan today, she thought the same as her aunt when she attended the wedding in Mopantun, and felt that the two children were newly married, and there was too much of an old lady like her at home, so she decided to go back on the wedding day, and then come to live for a few days after a few months.
But Xiangxiang refused, wanted to keep the old lady at home for the New Year, his son couldn't come back in the unit, and the money and things were sent to the old lady, but she knew that when she didn't go before, the old lady only wrapped a few dumplings and fried two dishes for the New Year, which was too desolate.
Although Han Jin was not very willing in his heart, it was not unreasonable, besides, there was no old lady, Xiaoshan also had to spend the New Year at home, and there was a Ma Dadao who had to come to eat every day during the New Year, so he followed Xiangxiang and tried his best to keep the old lady.
The old lady was persuaded and finally stayed, and she was not at ease, and wanted to stay to see the follow-up of the Wu family.
The next day, Ma Dadao and Han Jin turned over the three generations of the Wu family, and the whole family investigated everything in detail, but they still didn't find anything, and their family really had no connection with the Zhou family.
The Wu family was not a local before, Wu Jingyuan's grandfather's generation only fled from Shandong, and he was also a farmer in Shandong near Jiaozhou.
After coming to the Northeast, Wu Jingyuan's father, Wu Han, worked as an apprentice in a silk shop, learned to read and write with the shopkeeper, and was down-to-earth.
Later, he stepped into the county water conservancy bureau, and has been working in the bureau until he is about to retire. There is no connection with the Zhou family and Zhang Guirong's family.
And Wu Jingyuan has been studying in the county seat until he graduated from high school, and then he joined the Water Conservancy Bureau as a lowest-level clerk through Wu Han's relationship.
He has been in poor health since he was a child, and he can't hold on to his body after working in the Water Conservancy Bureau for five years, and he has been on sick leave until now, and it is said that he has a bad heart, and there is no chance of complete recovery in the future, according to the old doctor who treated him, he is likely to be short-lived.
And his unhealthy body was also passed on to his son Xiaobao, Xiaobao not only had heart disease, but also found out that he had a blood disease not long after he was born, which was particularly difficult to treat, and he didn't even have a serious name, and now he can only rely on regular blood transfusions to maintain.
Wu Han has only one son, Wu Jingyuan, who has three children, a son Xiaobao, and two daughters younger than Xiaobao.
This is the whole situation of the Wu family, because they fled the famine, they have no other relatives, and the family background is very simple.
I can't see anything from these, everyone discussed it, and we can only look at the situation first, after all, there are so many people in this world, and it is not for nothing to occasionally meet someone who looks like but is not related by blood.
Everyone began to prepare for the New Year lively, since there were so many guests at home, Han Jin didn't care about a little more, in order to make Xiangxiang more happy, he went to invite his aunt and leash over.
Then I went into the mountains again, I didn't go hunting by myself as before, I only went for a day and came back, and brought back half a car of New Year's goods, all of which were prepared for them by Uncle Li and Aunt Li and Grandpa Yang, roe deer meat, wild boar, pheasant, rabbit, big fish and small fish frozen into a lump, as well as all kinds of dry goods, enough for them to spend a fat year.
Of course, Han Jin also brought Xiangxiang to make needlework for the children of the three old people and several brothers of Uncle Li's family, as well as the vegetables they grew in the house, Grandpa Yang's family can eat dumplings filled with fresh leeks during the Chinese New Year this year, and there can be a lot of green vegetables on the dinner table, which is a good thing that people living in the provincial capital may not be able to buy.
Han Jin not only brought back the New Year's goods, but also took back a few large boxes that were placed in the cellar of the old mansion and the boxes in the cave, and secretly opened them for Xiangxiang to show at night, "This is what grandpa hid as a bandit leader back then, and it can be regarded as a dowry for you." ”
