Chapter 148: The Visitor Comes
Kou Xi never realized that his mother's family was so fair. You must know that most people in this world think that it is natural for women to rely on men to support themselves. There are really very few people like the Kou family who earnestly teach their daughters to be financially independent.
After completing the business of sales development, Kou Xi cleaned up her mother's house inside and out, and then went back to her mother-in-law's house with confidence.
Kou Dewang is also an important member of the leadership team of the local supply and marketing cooperative, and he was holding a meeting in the county recently, but he didn't have time to send his daughter back. Kou Xi took a bumpy bus directly, and got dizzy all the way to Hongqi Town.
Kou Xi took her things home with great difficulty, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a few clothes in the yard that she looked unfamiliar with. I thought to myself, it must be the old clothes sent by a relative of a certain family.
She didn't think much about it, and after saying hello to Li Cuilian, she walked into her house with her things as usual.
"Tianyi Aunt is back!" Gao Liman walked out, clutching a plastic sole in his hand.
"Well, I'm back!" Kou Xi nodded politely, but Gao Liman said: "Hey, you knit sweaters well, help me see how to hook shoes." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Kou Xi carry the other corner of the silk bag and entered Kou Xi's house.
Kou Xi returned to his room and saw a pair of pull-back sneakers at the bedroom door. Half-new and not old, Kou Xi couldn't help but ask, "This doesn't seem to be Xinyu's shoes, right?"
Gao Limanple watched at the door as Kou Xi put the silk bag on the stove and took it out in the same way. couldn't help but say: "Sometimes I really envy that you only have one girl in your family, and every time you go back to your parents' house, you can get a lot of delicious food." ”
"What's delicious, isn't it dried beans, dried eggplant, and dried potatoes? There are also some pickles, which are not very delicious, and the old man is afraid that he will not be of much use when he is old. I went back to my parents' house to make a fuss with my grandparents, to be coquettish, and to make them feel that they were still useful. ”
With Kou Dewang here, there is no shortage of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pancreas, and alabaster at home for many years. Canned food, biscuits, and malt milk have never made the old man's mouth empty. After Kou Xi got married, when the seasons changed, the clothes would be bought for the family inside and out.
The old couple didn't have a place to spend money, and they thought about Kou Xi all day long. Kou Xi took this opportunity to bring some pickles and dried vegetables to his grandfather's snacks every time he went back to his parents' house. even pretended to be stupid and asked her grandmother for advice on the craft of making cotton pants and shoes, and the old lady liked to sew a mattress for Kou Xixu and a TV cover in her spare time. The three of them interacted a lot, which relieved the old man's heart of missing his granddaughter, and at the same time made the old man think about something he could do.
Gao Liman didn't understand this, and when she returned to her parents' house, her sister-in-law's younger brothers and sisters couldn't wait to keep an eye on her all the time and not take things from her mother-in-law's house. Seeing that Kou Xi could bring back a lot of things from her mother's house every time, she had all kinds of flavors in her heart. She likes Kou Xi to bring things back from her mother's house, because Kou Xi doesn't pick the door, and everyone in the family shares the food together. Some of the pickles made by Grandma Kou Xi are very delicious, and some are very ordinary, but as long as there is a food for Gao Liman, he is happy. But her mother-in-law Li Cuilian always praised Kou Xi in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally, and sarcastically said that she couldn't get things back when she went back to her parents' house, and she felt very upset. Now she looked at Kou Xi with a happy face, and her heart felt like someone had poured a bowl of vinegar, sour and uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, you have been back to your parents' house in the past two days, and you don't know that there is a distinguished guest at home!" Gao Liman looked at her with a wicked smile, and Kou Xi raised his head in surprise: "You said that the clothes hanging outside are the clothes of our guests?"
"Your eyes are quite pointy!" Gao Liman pursed her lips and smiled: "Xinyu, the old daughter of her uncle's family, is one year and two days older than our Xinyu." It's not good to study, it seems that something happened over there. That day, my uncle transferred her to our school, and my uncle said that he would find her a job if she had a new Chinese certificate. Our mother said that it was good for Xinyu to have someone to study with, so she let her live in our house. ”
Gao Liman looked at Kou Xi gloatingly: "Both of their sisters live in your house, and now your house is lively." ”
Who in the family didn't know that Huo An had solemnly said before he left that he would not let others live in Kouxi House. How did that sentence come about: "Kou Xi doesn't run a hotel, and you stuff anyone in her house into her house." Let others pay attention to Kou Xi everywhere!"
If Kou Xi doesn't toss it now, it must not be Kou Xi's temper.
Sure enough, Gao Liman could see the displeasure on Kou Xi's face, and saw that she threw away the things in her hand. Footsteps hurried into the house, stood on the ground and looked around.
Gao Liman stood behind her, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement: "Don't look at it, people have transferred to the school with a lot of bags." I don't think so, you can let our dad build a bed to sleep. She pretended to regret and said: "It's a pity that our house is too small to live in! You love cleanliness so much, you really can't sleep in a single bed by yourself!"
Kou Xi turned his head and sneered: "I sleep on a plank bed in my own house, and give someone else a good kang to make a good kang?"
Seeing that he had succeeded in provoking, Gao Liman immediately showed a convincing expression: "Then what can you do? That's our mother's niece, can you still go out to live? In this family, how can I speak." Besides, I live in your house, I want to say something and don't scold me!"
Kou Xi knew in his heart that Gao Liman was provoking himself to quarrel with Li Cuilian. The little kitten in her heart, Kou Xi can still guess a few points.
"The family is indeed too small, our father is earning more and more money now, and he doesn't know how to build a house quickly when he is young. Kou Xi looked at Gao Liman: "Tianyi can't sleep in the same room with you when she goes to school, and our family Xinyu is so favored, I don't know how much money I will give her in the future." It's better to build a house early, even if it's to borrow some money. With famine, there is no need to give a girl to marry!"
Kou Xi kicked the ball to Gao Liman, and Gao Liman's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why do you still give her a dowry? It costs a lot of money for her to go to school, why do you still send money?"
"It's also impossible to say, whose parents don't want to subsidize their daughters if they have money in their hands. I'm going to join the army one day, and I'll have to follow his dad when I have a child in the future. The two of you have two children and you are going to stay here for the rest of your life, so you should worry about Tianyi. ”
When Gao Liman heard this, he immediately forgot about the newcomer, and took Kou Xi's hand with an anxious face: "Sister-in-law, it's not what's wrong, what do you say I'm doing?"
"Our dad has bought a tricycle now because he has the intention of doing a big job, and it also shows that their old couple has a lot of money in their hands. I don't think it's better for you to discuss with Huo Lu, there will be no one in the family who can live in it, so you can build a house as soon as possible. I can afford to buy a car, but I still need to build a house?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Kou Xi's eyes, let Gao Liman go and fight against his mother-in-law by himself.
Seeing that Gao Liman hurriedly went out to find Huolu, Kou Xi turned around and looked at the neat clothes on the camphor wood box, biting his lip and exhaling deeply......
