In the steel factory on the outskirts of the provincial capital, not far from the family building, a tall man over half a hundred years old looked at the intersection with his hands behind his back and a smile.

A passing colleague joked: "Old Gong, what about waiting for your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Go, go, you just wait for your daughter-in-law." Gong Chunsheng knew that his old colleague was a southerner, and his daughter-in-law was also called a daughter-in-law, this old man was not serious.

"Haha...... Annoyed? ”

The passers-by all smiled when they heard this, and each said hello and went home. Look at this old Gong's mouth can't be closed, who else can he wait for if he is not waiting for his little girl?

"If you want to say that this old Gong is really good."

"The population is small, and if there are more than us, they can't afford to live, let alone two children go to college."

"Okay, let's not say a word." A middle-aged woman saw Lao Gong's mother-in-law in front of her come out, and hurriedly waved her hand to say hello.

Liu Shuhua took a few steps forward, greeted them a few words, and walked quickly to her husband's side, "It's different to wait at home?" ”

"Why did you go downstairs too?"

"I don't think you came up for a long time." Liu Shuhua is eight years younger than her husband and looks much younger, of course, her eyes are better, "Here we are." ”

"Mingyuan and our Xiaoya?"

Liu Shuhua nodded lightly, "Remember my words, you must not mention the dowry in front of Mingyuan." ”

"I have a good girl to give him for nothing?"

"You dog temper! Do you still want to earn money for the bride price? Anyway, how many of them were brought back to her husband's house, so why bother with her in-laws. ”

Lao Gong saw his future son-in-law coming in front of him and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not worried that he has many brothers." ”

Liu Shuhua turned her head and glared at him warningly, seeing that he was closed, she pulled him forward to greet him with satisfaction, and beckoned with a smile: "Mingyuan, why don't you take the car?" I'm tired. ”

"Mom, you didn't see me?"

"I knew that Mingyuan was riding a car and carrying you, and I was guilty."

Xizi saw that the object was coquettish with her mother, and turned her head to greet Lao Gong funny: "Uncle, are you off work?" ”

"Mmmm, go home quickly, Xiaoya's mother has already cooked dinner, are you hungry?"

"Then I'm blessed, thank you, aunt."

"It's all a family." Liu Shuhua pulled her daughter, "Is your car in the unit?" ”

Gong Xiaoya nodded, "Mingyuan said too far, let me sit behind him." ”

Liu Shuhua looked at her son-in-law's back and was even more satisfied, she knew that she was distressed. The family background is good, the looks are good, and the elders are easy to get along with, so there is nothing to be picky about.

"Mom, tomorrow weekend, I want to go back with Mingyuan."

Liu Shuhua glanced at her daughter with a blank look. This is not married, and she often runs to her husband's house with her partner, why doesn't she understand that girls should be reserved.

"Hehe......" Gong Xiaoya lowered her head with a blush.

Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Shuhua didn't say much, and people outside came and went, let alone a place to talk. Of course, she didn't know that she hadn't gotten engaged yet, and her little girl had made several trips to the county seat.

"In the past, I spent more time with Mingyuan and his grandmother, and I was diligent in front of his parents. By the way, I went to your second aunt's a few days ago, and she gave me a scarf, and you brought it to Mingyuan and his sister. ”

"Thank you, Mom."

Liu Shuhua looked at her daughter and smiled, and she was even more heartbroken.

Fortunately, the Zhang family is not difficult to deal with, and her mother-in-law is also a soft child, otherwise she really wouldn't be at ease to marry this heartless stupid girl.

Because Gong Chunsheng is the earliest batch of workers and an eighth-level technician, the Gong family was lucky enough to be assigned a three-room large living room in the first family building, plus Gong Xiaoya, her only eldest brother, who was working in the city, had already bought a house, married a wife and had children, so that the Gong family lived very loosely.

When Gong Xiaoya saw her father pulling Xizi into the seat, she was about to sit at the dinner table, but Liu Shuhua grabbed her first step and looked at her mother in surprise.

"Come back to my room and get a scarf first."

Gong Xiaoya grinned when she heard this, "Mingyuan, you accompany my dad to have a drink first, and I'll accompany my mom to do something." ”

Kiko, who was talking to her future husband, nodded with a smile and continued to pour wine for him.

In the bedroom, Liu Shuhua took out a red scarf from the cabinet, thought about it, and opened the cabinet door and took out two cans of canned fruit, "This is brought to Mingyuan's grandmother." ”

Gong Xiaoya saw that her mother was a little reluctant, and shook her hand, "No need, keep you and your father to eat by yourself." Mingyuan's grandmother is not short of these things, and his uncles and aunts are very filial. ”

"What do you know, there is no reason to go empty-handed when you come to the door. Mingyuan told you where you will live and where will you hold a banquet after you get married? ”

Gong Xiaoya glanced at her weakly, "Mom, I want him to apply for housing, there are still a lot of people in my unit waiting to be assigned a dormitory." ”

Liu Shuhua pondered for a moment, "That's okay." At most, I'll scrape together some money for you to buy a yard in the city like your brother. The dormitory divided by the unit is too small, and there will be no place for children to live in the future, and there will be no place for relatives to live. ”

"Mom, no need, I've saved a lot of money in the past few years. In a few years, when Mingyuan's two younger brothers get married, he won't have to support his family, and he won't be able to afford any house at that time. ”

"You......" Liu Shuhua shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Mingyuan told you that he wants to support his family?" ”

"No, isn't it obvious. He is the eldest and has three younger siblings below, so how can he rely on his father's salary alone. Mom, there's one more thing. ”

Liu Shuhua glanced at her.

Mingyuan said that his cousin didn't plan to hold a banquet when he got married in the first month. I think I'm going to be simpler, he's the eldest son, and now we're making it too grand, what will the next two younger brothers do in the future? ”

Liu Shuhua doesn't want to see her daughter at a glance now.

She thought she should have a snack when she went to college, but it turned out to be better and even more stupid. Zhang Mingyuan's two younger brothers are now in the Revolutionary Committee, and the other is a soldier, and the future is bright, so why don't you worry? And that little girl is good-looking, there is such a capable uncle, she still needs you to worry about it?

What does it mean to not have a big banquet? A few simple tables are also banquets, and flowing water banquets are also banquets. Looking stupid, I must not have asked what was going on.

"Mom, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Liu Shuhua glanced at her, thought about some things about the old Zhang family that she had recently inquired about, and finally gritted her teeth and spit out a few words, "You don't regret it in the future." ”

"I knew my mom was the most sensible."

"Less sycophants! Since you rely on Mingyuan for everything, then don't say anything in the past, if their family asks you for their opinion, you just say that the elders are in charge. ”

"Mom, hehe, will my dad be angry?"

"You know that? Forget it, your dad will leave it to me. I heard that the old Zhang family is well-known for his kindness, and it shouldn't make our family lose face, so I will persuade your father when I go back. ”

Gong Xiaoya rubbed to her side, grabbed her arm and shook it, "Mom, you are the best, no wonder my sister-in-law likes you so much." There is no better mother like you in this world. ”

"Alright, alright, eat early and go over early. You...... "What else can Liu Shuhua say?" I hope that my in-laws will not wronged their children in the future for the sake of their own good talk.
