Chen Xingling asked unceremoniously: "It's okay if you are a big man, the youth of the girl's family is only a few years, can you withstand such consumption?" ”

"I ......" Gu Yi hesitated and whispered: "I really don't know what to do." ”

Chen Xingling folded the quilt and put it away, and said lightly: "If you really want to marry someone else's girl, and she also has a deep affection for you and is determined to marry you, then you have to plan for your future." You, in particular, have to take on the responsibilities of a man. ”

Gu Yi swallowed his saliva and pulled a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you said that if I did it like my eldest brother, my mother would ...... Will you scold me to death? ”

Chen Xingling smiled dumbly: "Why did your brother cut first and then play, the reason is not difficult to guess - because he knows that if your mother knows in advance, he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law." At the beginning, he said that the time to get the certificate was tight and he didn't have time to notify the family, but it was actually just an excuse for your brother. And then? Did your mother scold your brother to death? ”

Forehead?

Gu Yi rolled his eyes and quickly smiled.

"My eldest brother is so good—where does my mother dare to do anything to my eldest brother. But then again, I'm not the same as my big brother! First of all, he is the eldest son of our family. After my dad died, my brother was in charge of everything in the family. You know, my mother, that once something happens, there will be nothing but howling and crying. Also, my brother is raised by my brother at home, and even if my mother is dissatisfied with my eldest brother and angry again, she doesn't dare to do anything to him. ”

Chen Xingling saw that he had a good analysis, and he was a little impressed.

"Yes, you're right. That last point, though, is the root cause. For an adult to be truly independent, the first thing to be independent is to be financially independent. If you can marry your own wife and live independently with your wife, why worry about your mother's objections, right? ”

Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and was silent.

Chen Xingling said: "If it weren't for your brother going abroad to study for two years, Xiaohuzi and I wouldn't have to go to the capital to let your mother learn from it." At the beginning, your brother and I lived happily, and we only needed to send money to your mother to support the family, and there was no need to worry about anything else. Your mother is not in her seventies or eighties, and she doesn't need us to take care of her closely. You know that most of her concepts are wrong, so you should learn from your brother's attitude, listen to her when you can, and don't listen when you shouldn't. ”

With that, she clapped her hands, turned and walked out of the room.

"Hey! Sister-in-law! Gu Yi suddenly got up and shouted to her, "Wait!" Wait a minute! ”

Chen Xingling stopped.

Gu Yi smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, then what do you say I should do now?" When you helped me out of the siege before, you said that my brother could arrange a job for me here...... Is it true? ”

"Really." Chen Xingling nodded: "I don't have to lie to you." When you were in your hometown, did your brother propose that you go south with us? There should be, right? ”

Gu Yi hurriedly replied: "However, he didn't mention work, only said that the general environment here is more relaxed than that in Shangjing, and there are more opportunities." ”

"When your brother comes back, you can talk to him carefully." Chen Xingling said: "As far as I know, he is absolutely capable of helping you find a formal job in the shipyard." If you want to, your brother will naturally help you. ”

"Hey!" Gu Yi instantly smiled: "With a job, my mother will naturally relax her vigilance." There are thousands of mountains and rivers in my hometown, as long as I don't let my mother know for the time being, what can she do with me! ”

Chen Xingling chuckled and kindly reminded.

"The key is that the girl is still in the mountains, and you can't just take care of yourself."

In the original book, Gu Yi was forcibly left in the city by his old mother, and the poor girl couldn't wait for him, and later married someone else by mistake, and finally missed each other, regretting it for life.

Gu Yi already had an idea, and patted his chest with confidence.

"When my work is done, I will quietly go back to her and tell her to wait for me for a while. When I save money here and divide the house, I will marry her. ”

Chen Xingling is not good at making full decisions for him, after all, this is a lifelong event for others, and a little bit of appropriation is enough.

"Okay, but you still have to take care of other people's girls. Actually, if you stay here, we can take care of each other. ”

My husband is worthy of the surname "Gu", and he is definitely a typical good man of the Gu family. Whether it is everyone in his hometown or his own small family, he wants to take care of it wholeheartedly. Gu Yi is his own brother, so he will naturally help him to the end.

Of course, she has always had a good relationship with her brother-in-law, and she will try her best to help within her ability.

At this time, the little tiger ran in and shouted, "Uncle! I'm thirsty! ”

Gu Yi hurriedly took his little hand and went to the kitchen to pour water to drink.

Chen Xingling turned around and went back to the master bedroom and carefully fastened the door lock.

The master bedroom has two windows, one facing the sparkling river, which is on the large side; The other is smaller in size, similar to the "second floor of Linjiang", and you can vaguely see the suite on the side.

After some observation, she hurriedly went into the supermarket space and found a piece of white curtain gauze to hang on.

Forty or fifty years ago, there were beautiful window screens, and styles like this were sold in department stores, but the quality was far less than the softness and lightness of the supermarket space.

After hanging the curtain, she put her tools away.

Then, she squatted down to observe under the bed, and soon found the big white shell she had given Gu Qi at the beginning, and pulled it out with all her strength.

The shell is more than two feet wide and more than 20 centimeters high, and shells of this size are rare in shallow seas. When I first came out of the water, I was covered in parasitic oysters, seaweed, and moss.

She spent several days slowly soaking and slowly scrubbing, prying and grinding, and finally restored it to its true appearance - hard as stone, pure white as snow!

This is her favorite baby, and she has always been too baby.

Later, she fell in love with Gu Qi and shyly gave him the big baby. Later, this big guy became the "piggy bank" of their husband and wife, there was a small gap to put money into, and to withdraw money, it took professional gadgets to pry it open.

The shell is as bright as ever, there is no dust, and it is obvious that Gu Qi will fix it every month to "invest money".

She successfully opened the big shell and found that it was full of five or ten coins, each of which was folded into a square square, which she knew at a glance that it was Gu Qi's standard style.

Wow~~~!! This was the first time she had seen so many small tickets!

She slowly classified and separated the five or ten yuan, and at the beginning she saved five yuan, guessing that it should be that Gu Qi later raised her salary, and sometimes saved ten yuan.

After careful classification, it was found that the number of ten pieces was quite a lot, and it seemed that there could be about two hundred pieces.

Chen Xingling was secretly a little excited, and quickly liquidated - there were four hundred and fifty-five yuan!

In the era when the average salary was only forty or fifty yuan, this money could be regarded as a huge amount of money!

The food she recently ate on the train was all taken from the supermarket, and all kinds of gifts back to her parents' house plus things to furnish her new home were also all materials in the space, so she didn't spend the dozens of dollars she earned at the end of the year.

Counting it up, their family's current savings should be more than 500 yuan!

Chen Xingling carried two hundred pieces on his body, and the others took back the shells, and quickly packed up and returned to their original positions.

She said something to Gu Yi and her son, and then hurriedly went downstairs.
