On the second day of the first lunar month, it is a traditional day for the hairy-footed son-in-law in the central region of Vietnam to go to his mother-in-law's house.

Early in the morning, the silly eldest sister was preparing a large bag of small bags, and she had everything she had prepared for pastries, sweets, and old wine, but she was afraid of losing her courtesy.

Chen Qi slept very hard, this holiday was not restless, a 10-hour major operation was done, and the strong sense of exhaustion made him want to sleep for a day in the past two days.

Chen Qi is not in a hurry, but the stupid eldest sister is in a hurry:

"Don't sleep, don't sleep, get up quickly, today is the day to go to Lijuan's house, let's leave early after such a long journey."

From the city to Dongqiao Commune, there is no half a day to get off at all, Chen Qi misses his past life very much, at that time driving a private car, at most 1 hour can arrive, in the 80s to transfer cars and walk, at least more than 4 hours.

Chen Qi looked out the window, it was dull and bright, on the morning of the second year of junior high school, even the children who set off firecrackers didn't get up.

The Chen family is preparing, and the Lan family is also preparing.

Under Lan Lijuan's strong opposition, coupled with the little girl's own 200 yuan, Shi Atiao finally moved the pigsty out of the room and built a pigsty next to it.

The pungent smell in the room is gone, and the possibility of some traditional diseases is eliminated.

Although the small broken building is still the small broken building, the living standard of the Lan family has been greatly improved, and the little sister of the Lan family has an income of 50 yuan a month, except for 5 yuan left by herself, the rest are handed over.

Shi Atiao was satisfied, and he didn't embarrass his eldest daughter anymore, so Lan Lijuan didn't want half of the salary she promised to give the family.

Now that the two families are ready to get married, Shi Atiao has also begun to think about her eldest daughter, if she really takes half of her salary, I am afraid that her daughter will not be able to raise her head in front of the Chen family from now on.

Although the rural woman is short-sighted, she also has her own shrewdness, and she knows in her heart that as long as the Chen family is firmly anchored, her youngest son's future will not be worried at all.

So today, when the "new son-in-law" came to the door, Shi Atiao became extremely enthusiastic, bought chicken, duck and fish meat early, prepared melon seeds and snacks, and waited for Chen Qi to come to the door.

Lan Lijuan went downstairs to take a look, and saw that her mother was very busy and not active, and she was very satisfied.

Who doesn't want their marriage to be blessed by their parents?

Near noon, the four sisters and brothers of the Chen family finally came to Lianzhong Village.

Chen Qi was wearing a navy blue new tunic with a pen pinned to his jacket pocket, and a pair of newly bought leather shoes on his feet, 25 yuan, which was almost half a month's salary.

At first glance, it is the typical dress of the cadre, and the silly eldest sister is very satisfied.

Of course, only Chen Qi himself knows whether it is cold or not, this is the end of demeanor rather than temperature.

As soon as the Chen family sisters and brothers appeared in Lianzhong Village with gifts, the village became a sensation, Chen Qi was dressed as a successful person, and he was tall and handsome, which made countless rural people envious.

In 1983, the identity of a worker was still very precious, and the rank of a cadre was even more admirable.

Chen Qi has been to Lianzhong Village several times, and he is more or less familiar, so he smokes all the way over, and the silly eldest sister is stuffing fruit candy for the children, which has attracted great favor from the villagers.

When they arrived at the door of Lan's house, several of Lan Lijuan's uncles and uncles had already set off firecrackers to welcome their new son-in-law with this highest etiquette.

"Ajo, you are so blessed, your son-in-law is so handsome."

"Let me tell you, not only Shuai, he is now a cadre, and I heard that he is the vice president of the health center."

"Oh, such a young cadre, this Lan family can be regarded as having survived."

"If you want me to say, you still have to read more, where do you see Lijuan? Now that he is a doctor, he is also good-looking, and he will definitely be a cadre in the future. ”

Listening to the discussions of the neighbors and concubines, Shi Atiao's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Other people's sons-in-law are all rural, and their own son-in-law is a cadre, which is unique in Lianzhong Village, which can't help but make the smile on her face a little bigger.

"Chen Qi is here? Oops, the little piano, the little book, and the little painting are also here, please inside. ”

"Mother-in-law, Happy New Year, our whole family has come to greet you and grandma, hehe."

"Come on, come on, and bring so many things, it's really ......"

Shi Atiao said "complaining", the smile on his face was like a chrysanthemum, and he deliberately exposed the outer packaging of the gift, showing everyone that they were all brand-name goods in the city, but not the bulk of the supply and marketing cooperatives wrapped in straw paper.

The villagers sighed again.

Here, the stupid eldest sister and Lan's mother are doing business blowing each other, politely.

Over there, Lan Lijuan was also full of joy when she saw her boyfriend coming, wearing a new padded jacket and turning around for Chen Qi to see:

"Well, this padded jacket looks good, right? It cost me a lot of money. ”

Chen Qi pouted a little disgustedly: "Why is it dark blue?" It's too earthy, you should make it red, red is so festive, you look so good, it's even more beautiful when you wear it. ”

"Fart, red is so exaggerated, how will you wear it in the unit in the future? I'm not a newlywed daughter-in-law. ”

"Who said it's not a little daughter-in-law? You see, my eldest sister is here today, which is clearly a door-to-door proposal, and I will try to let you celebrate Mother's Day next year. ”

Lan Lijuan's face turned red when she heard this, knowing that this was an established fact, but she was still ashamed to say it.

Chen Hua and Lan Lihong chatted together, Xiaohong helped in Chen's house, and the two little girls had already gotten acquainted and became little best friends.

As for Chen Shu, as soon as he took out the firecrackers, he immediately became a buddy with Lan Guoping, the youngest brother of the Lan family.

Chen Qi walked into the Lan family's house, and as soon as he sat down, Grandma Lan came over with a "sugar water egg", the method was very simple, the water was boiled, the egg was shelled and put in the water, and then it was taken out and put in the sugar water after it was cooked.

It's eggs and sugar water, which is the highest treatment for hospitality in the seventies and eighties when there was a shortage of materials.

"Xiaoqi, his eldest sister, little brother and sister, come, it's the road, eat some snacks~~~"

Chen Qi politely took it, and when he saw that there were a full 8 eggs in the big bowl, the sweat came out all of a sudden, and he looked at his girlfriend like a helper.

Lan Lijuan smiled evilly: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, it's not enough in the pot, grandma has prepared 10 for you." ”

Chen Qi's face collapsed when he heard this, so he could only eat it with his head bored, this kind of sugar water egg tastes good to eat one, it is barely enough to eat two, eat 3 and start to burp, and eat 4 to start to hold up.

Eat 8 in one go, good guy, and he won't have anything to do with this table full of big fish and meat at noon.

When watching Chen Qi eat eggs, he had to straighten his neck from time to time, trying to make the sugar water eggs swallow, which made the neighbors and relatives who were watching laugh loudly.

Shi Atiao smiled especially brightly.
