Chapter 227: Four Sisters-in-law
There is no obvious difference between the four seasons of the year, except for the harsh winter and early spring, which are colder, and the rest of the time is almost summer.
In late autumn, Yucheng is still a world of short-sleeved and thin shirts, even if there is an occasional cool breeze, the leaves on the trees are still green, only bringing a touch of coolness, and there is no sense of late autumn.
In the early morning, when Gu Qi woke up, he found that his wife's head had slept on his stomach again, and he couldn't help but indulge and chuckle.
He caressed her arms and cheeks, enjoying the moment of ear grinding that belonged only to the two of them.
After a while, the door of the next room creaked open, and the sound of his son's trademark naughty footsteps rang out.
Gu Qi gently removed his wife, helped her lie down, covered her with a thin quilt, and then stepped lightly on the bed.
The son was already standing on the small stool brushing his teeth, his mouth was full of bubbles, and he was grunting: "Dad~Dad~"
Gu Qi nodded indifferently and stepped forward to start washing.
The beard is half shaved, and the sound of a tractor is heard outside the window!
Xiaohuzi dropped the towel, probed out, and then shouted excitedly: "Third uncle! Fourth uncle! ”
After shouting excitedly, he ran downstairs with a smoke.
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, quickly shaved his beard, and hurriedly entered the room to put on his shirt.
"Xing'er! Stars! Yin Mo said that the third brother and the fourth brother are here! ”
“…… Well?? Chen Xingling muttered in a daze: "Third brother? Fourth brother? Impossible, right? ”
Since she and Ma Dali became contractors, they have to buy all kinds of building materials every once in a while.
The elder brothers usually drove a tractor early in the morning to send seafood into the city, and in the afternoon they would go to the construction site to do casual labor. Not only did she leave the tractor on the construction site for her to use, but she also had to take turns as a truck driver.
My elder brothers used to work as construction workers in the city, so they were all experienced in their work. She asked them to come when they were free and paid them in the "half-day work" model.
At first, they refused to take it, saying that they were helping their sister, so there was no reason to get a salary.
She secretly explained to them that the "Three Gardens" was her own house, and her brothers were not polite at all when they came to help, and she didn't pay for it no matter how much she helped.
But now it's different, and she will most likely be in this industry in the future. There will always be such work, and it is not good to take advantage of a few brothers all the time.
Besides, her brothers still have to support their families, so how can they always give her free work.
In addition, this business is in cooperation with Ma Dali, not her alone. When relatives and friends come to help, they should also be paid according to the number of days, and all should be treated fairly and justly, and they must not be special for personal gain.
After hearing this, the elder brothers agreed one after another, and explained that it was not easy to find a job when he had nothing to do before, but now he has his sister's business to take care of, and he doesn't have to worry about making no money.
When her parents knew that she was doing such a job, they were secretly worried at first, secretly asking her if she had no money to spend, and later worried that she would be too tired to study and work.
It wasn't until the brothers explained that her task was to buy things and make money and cashiers, and that she didn't have to do any heavy work, that the old couple finally put their minds at ease.
Several sisters-in-law found that their husbands brought home more money than they went elsewhere, and they had work to do at any time, and their income was more stable.
Selling fish in the morning and working in the afternoon, the two do not affect each other, and the savings go up all at once.
The sisters-in-law were full of praise for the sister-in-law, and took the initiative to go to sea to fish with their father-in-law during the day, so that the husbands stayed at the construction site in the afternoon to earn wages.
The salary is guaranteed, and there is not much pressure to fish. The old father and mother were relieved to see that their brother and sister could take care of each other, and that the family was harmonious inside and out.
Several elder brothers now drive a tractor into the city early in the morning to deliver fish, and when the fish and shrimp are sold out, they go straight to the construction site, and take the tractor home together in the evening, rarely come to the "three parks" here.
Gu Qi was very confident in his son's eyesight, and kneaded her waist a few times.
"There shouldn't be anything wrong with that. Well, get up quickly. I went downstairs first. ”
With that, he walked quickly out of the master bedroom and left.
Chen Xingling on the bed was half asleep, and in a daze, he seemed to hear a familiar "little sister", and he opened his eyes in fright!
Just now - the voice of the fourth brother?!
Could it be that the fourth brother is back?!!
That's right! When the fourth brother left a few months ago, he said that he should not go for too long this time, and he should be able to come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The next moment, she got up in a panic, ripped the thin quilt off her body, and hurried out of bed to rush to the bathroom—but she had to go back and quickly change her pajamas.
Three minutes later, Chen Xingling, whose face was wet, rushed downstairs!
I saw that the third brother was leaning on the Taishi chair in the living room, eating melon seeds, while the fourth brother rode the little tiger on his neck, wearing a seafarer's shirt straight and handsome, chatting with Gu Qi happily.
"Fourth brother!" Chen Xingling shouted in surprise.
She was about to rush forward, but her wrist was grabbed by a slightly rough hand!
Chen Xingling was slightly stunned, and instinctively turned his face sideways.
I saw a beautiful woman in exotic clothes looking at herself with a smile, about thirty years old, with deep and good-looking facial features, and a strong mature and stable charm.
"You-" Chen Xingling chuckled lightly and blurted out: "You are my future fourth sister-in-law, right?" ”
The woman listened to the "poof! He laughed, and turned to look at Chen Jixing coquettishly.
"Your sister is exactly what you say she is—a clever ghost indeed!"
Chen Jixing laughed heartily and greeted the little guy on his shoulder.
"Yes, she is the most clever and favored little sister in our family! He is also the only special guy in our family who can be named directly without sorting! Of my five brothers, she is the only one sister. She, when she was a child, she was almost spoiled by our brothers! I didn't lie to you! ”
The woman looked at Chen Xingling, her eyes full of smiles.
"Hmm~~ The eyebrows and eyes are similar to those of your brothers. The facial features are very attractive, not a very stunning type, but delicate and confident, especially the confidence between the eyebrows and eyes, but none of your brothers have. ”
Chen Jixing coughed lightly and smiled apologetically.
"Little sister, her name is Zhu Siya - my fiancée, your fourth sister-in-law. She is a descendant of our overseas Chinese in Yucheng and grew up abroad. The cultural background is different, she has always spoken directly, very hearty and generous. Speak straight, occasionally easy to offend people, I will give you a notice in advance here, apologize in advance, and don't worry about her in the future. ”
Chen Xingling laughed: "How can it! She's a new member of our family, and she doesn't dare to care, and she can't care! ”
Chen Bingxing on the side explained: "They arrived home yesterday evening, and they didn't say hello, and rushed into the house with a few big suitcases - they were so happy that their parents couldn't speak for a long time, they just smiled." ”
Zhu Siya smiled and stretched out her hand.
Chen Xingling hurriedly shook hands with her: "Hello, hello!" Four sisters-in-law! ”
Then, she turned her head to look at Chen Jixing, and asked with a smile: "Fourth brother, before you went to sea, you said that you would give us a big surprise when you came back this time - the fourth sister-in-law is what you call a 'surprise', right?" ”
After a long time, she still remembers the look of the fourth brother before parting, and it is clear that he is hiding a different kind of thought.
I didn't expect her to be right!
"That's right!" Chen Jixing generously hugged Zhu Siya and explained: "Actually, we have known each other for several years, but because of her nationality, we have not been able to return to China to marry me, so we will delay it again and again." ”
"Part of the reason is this." Zhu Siya snuggled on her lover's shoulder and smiled sweetly: "The main thing is that in the past two years, we were not too sure that the other party was that person, so we had to wait and see." ”
"And now?" Chen Xingling asked funny: "It's finally decided." ”
Zhu Siya nodded: "Of course!" I thought about him day and night, and he missed me in every way, so we finally decided to be together. We were shipwrecked on our way back, and we almost lost each other and died in the sea—"
"Isn't it?" Chen Bingxing exclaimed: "Shipwreck?!" What's going on? ”
Gu Qi was also shocked when he heard it, and his good-looking sword eyebrows were immediately raised, staring at the fourth uncle in disbelief.
Chen Xingling was on par with him, and he was also terrified when he heard it.
"Almost...... Dead at sea?!! ”
