The third day of Tie Min and Liu Dongmei's marriage is the day when the new daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home.

Early in the morning, Liu Dongmei went to the house to make breakfast, and saw that Aunt Zhou had already gotten up and was busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, go back to the house and rest." Liu Dongmei took the rice washing pot in Aunt Zhou's hand and wanted to wash rice for cooking.

"Dongmei, Mom has something to discuss with you." Aunt Zhou spent three days repeatedly thinking about how to say this, and today she is finally going to say it.

"If you don't discuss anything, you can say anything." After Liu Dongmei got married, her relationship with her in-laws became closer.

She knew the strength of Zhou Zhiqiang and Aunt Zhou in front of Tiemin, and if she wanted to tie Tiemin, she couldn't do without the help of her in-laws.

"I should have said it the night you got married." Aunt Zhou's words, Liu Dongmei listened, her face was hot for a while, and she smiled.

"Women's family, drink less in the future, it's no good to drink too much of that thing." Aunt Zhou didn't care about Liu Dongmei's embarrassment at all, she continued: "I was going to leave the guests, let's have a family meeting and say everything that should be said." As a result, you are so drunk that you can't wake up. ”

Liu Dongmei couldn't explain, and she didn't even understand herself.

She was in the hospital ward, and in order to play tricks on the big cow, she drank most of the bottle of liquor in one go. On the day of the engagement dinner, she took another breath and drank a big bowl, which was enough for more than eight taels of liquor, just like drinking cold water, without any adverse reactions.

On her wedding day, she only drank two small bowls of baijiu, and then slipped under the table on the spot.

Everyone knows that Liu Dongmei was angry with Zhao Miao at that time.

A small rice bowl contains liquor, and a bowl is the amount of four taels. She was busy for most of the day, and she drank eight taels of liquor on an empty stomach. In addition, she was depressed to the extreme, so it was strange not to get drunk.

Liu Dongmei was drunk, not noisy, not vomiting, just sleeping quietly for a while, and when she woke up, everything was normal.

That night, on the night of candles in the cave room, the brave and combative iron people wanted to run out of the room several times, but Liu Dongmei found them in time and forcibly pressed them on the kang.

Tie Min thought that Liu Dongmei was drunk and was playing drunk.

It turned out that Liu Dongmei was following the example of her father Liu Shoucheng and borrowing wine to cover her face. used the affairs of men and women as a means of punishment, and tossed the iron people for a night.

The next day, Tie Min slept until noon, and he didn't get rid of his fatigue, and even Liu Dongmei brought him lunch and let him lie on the bed to eat.

Liu Dongmei didn't hide it, she warned Tie Min: "Let me see it again in the future, Zhao Miao is eye-tossing with you, I will toss you for a night when I see it once." ”

Tie Min had nothing to say, and Liu Dongmei regarded tossing Tie Min as the only means of revenge.

No matter what Aunt Zhou said, Liu Dongmei just laughed vigorously, and forcibly disrupted the words that Aunt Zhou had thought of.

"You married Tiemin and spent almost all the money in the family." Aunt Zhou didn't look at Liu Dongmei, so that she could speak more smoothly. "The money of the neighbors is less than 200 yuan."

When Liu Dongmei heard Aunt Zhou mention money to her, she didn't have any special reaction on the surface, and the little abacus in her heart was pulled away.

What is she going to do, let's share the cost of marriage?

Tiemin got married, and Da Niu and Erguo each took twenty yuan of money. Coupled with Tie Min's classmates, each of them had less than 200 yuan.

The maiden guests who sent their relatives came with 20 yuan each, excluding his younger brother Dongqing, Liu Dongmei received 140 yuan in gifts.

Although Liu Dongmei was reluctant to mention Zhao Miao, her 100 yuan really supported the economic pillar of their new home.

When she went to the bank and handed the 500 yuan into the savings window, she saw the surprised eyes of the staff, and she really felt an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart.

"I'll talk to you." Aunt Zhou stabbed Liu Dongmei and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you still distracted." ”

"What's the matter, you say, I'll listen." Liu Dongmei was forced to stop what she was doing, and listened to Aunt Zhou'er say: "Let me tell you, you are the boss, and you want to give your younger brothers and sisters a good start." ”

"Haven't I done enough?" Liu Dongmei shook the kitchen knife in her hand.

"That's not what I'm talking about." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Aunt Zhou's face, that is, a few seconds of uneasiness, and then she made up her mind and said, "I don't want to ask you too much, if you give me the 100 yuan gift money you received, we will settle it." ”

Aunt Zhou preliminarily calculated an account for them, this wedding, the couple received at least 300 yuan, and they must come up with 100 yuan to make up for the family's deficit in Tiemin's wedding.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Tiemin when I go back, and then I'll give you an answer." Liu Dongmei was full of disgust, and it was not easy to show it immediately, so she could only talk about Tiemin. She said, "If Tiemin has no opinion, I will give you the money." ”

Liu Dongmei's performance, Aunt Zhou is very satisfied.

Liu Dongmei and Tie Min had breakfast in the lower room, and Liu Dongmei packed up the tableware and prepared to send it to the upper house. She remembered Aunt Zhou'er's words and told Tie Min.

"We should have separated." Tiemin didn't answer directly, but offered to share the fire with his family.

"Okay." Liu Dongmei was very happy to hear this.

Living together, she is the old mother of the Zhou family, and all the housework is taken care of by her. After the family was separated, she was only responsible for the housework of two people, which was easy and pleasant.

"Go to your mother's house first, and then talk about it when you come back." Tie Min took the gifts prepared for his father-in-law, rode a bicycle, and drove Liu Dongmei back to his parents' house.

The bride returns to her parents' home three days after marriage, which is a common wedding custom everywhere.

Tiemin rode his 28 miscellaneous brand bicycle, Liu Dongmei sat in the back, and as soon as the two arrived at the head of the village, they saw Liu Dongmei's younger brother Liu Dongqing, waiting there.

This is the second time Tie Min and Liu Dongqing have met.

The first time was the day before yesterday, on the day Tie Min and Liu Dongmei got married, it was also the first time Tie Min came to his father-in-law's house.

That day, he saw Liu Dongqing and heard a affectionate address: "Brother-in-law." ”

Today, Liu Dongqing wore a woolen tunic suit, and when he saw Tie Min and Liu Dongmei, he first waved his hand behind him, and then said hello to Tie Min: "Here, brother-in-law." ”

Before Tiemin could answer, there was a "crackling" sound of firecrackers.

From the entrance of the village to Liu Shoucheng's house, there is a distance of 100 meters. Liu Shoucheng also really gave up his blood, he put the firecrackers all the way, and arranged for someone to release the monkey at the door of the house.

Good guy, this scene alone completely wiped out the situation on the day of Tiemin's wedding.

Is it me who marries my daughter-in-law, or is it your family who marries my aunt.

Tie Min's dissatisfied gaze turned to Liu Dongmei.

Liu Dongmei, who was immersed in happiness, how could she have time to take into account Tie Min's feelings, she held Tie Min's arm and smiled very brightly.

The courtyard of Liu Shoucheng's house has four acres of land, which he sent people to level out and set up a wedding shed.

Four stove eyes, two cooks, and eight cooks are busy in the hot day.

"It's called a running water seat." Liu Dongmei introduced to Tiemin.

The rural areas of Northeast China do things, and there are many guests at home, and they all hold this kind of flowing water banquet. When the guests come, there is no time limit, just open a few tables when they have enough tables, leave after eating, and then start the table again.

On the other hand, it is also a symbol of strength.

The first is networking, you have to have so many contacts before you dare to open a flowing table. The second is the economic strength, do not spend a lot of money, prepare enough raw materials for the banquet, there is a mistake in the middle, and it is too late to prepare the materials. The most important thing is whether your personal contacts can withstand this kind of scene.

If it's like the atmosphere of the town, spend five yuan as a gift and come to eat and drink as a family.

When the matter is done, the master does not hang himself, and he has to tighten his neck and not eat or drink. The money saved by moving his mouth and stomach was pasted on his face, and next, he could only survive by drinking the northwest wind.

Liu Shoucheng sat firmly at home, and there was a box of heavy nine cigarettes in front of him.

When a guest came, he got up and shook hands with him, and when he glanced to the side, he saw the table beside him.

There was a plate of sugar cubes and a plate of big-brand cigarettes on the table. Two people who seemed to be very learned in Shili Eight Villages, one wrote the accounts, and the other was responsible for collecting cash.

After the male guest finished the salute, he picked up a cigarette, and the female guest finished the salute, picked up a piece of candy, and then went to the courtyard, found an empty table and sat down, waiting for the food and wine to be served, and ate and drank a lot.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Liu Shoucheng was discharged from the courtyard door, he put his hands behind his back, and said to Tiemin: "Tired, go into the house to rest for a while." ”

Tie Min didn't want to see Liu Shoucheng in the first place, but because of their current relationship with their son-in-law, they could only greet each other with a smile. As soon as he saw Liu Shoucheng's energetic appearance, he was angry.

Fortunately, Liu Dongqing is a high school student, and his demeanor left a good impression on Tiemin.

The two sat down, and some of them chatted lively.

"Tiemin, you two come with me." Liu Shoucheng returned to the house, first picked up the box of Dazhongjiu cigarettes, and then called Tiemin and Liu Dongmei, went to the neighbor's house next door, and gave Tiemin a big surprise.

This is a room with two large kang beds in the north and south. A large kang table was placed on each kang, and the people from the railway police station may have only been on duty who were not present, and others, including Director Liu and Instructor Shan, were all present, filling two large tables.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the bride and groom have come to toast." Liu Shoucheng shouted, Liu Dongmei took two bottles of Xifeng wine from the side, handed one to Tie Min and said, "Dad, where do we start toasting." ”

"Of course, it's the director's instructor." Liu Shoucheng guided Tie Min to Director Liu, and Tie Min's face turned red.

He poured the wine for the guests one by one, put down the bottle and went out.

Liu Dongmei didn't know why Tie Min was doing, so she chased him out and said dissatisfiedly: "You should at least have a few polite words to others." ”

"I don't know what to say." Tie Min returned to Liu Shoucheng's house and sat there sullenly.

He didn't understand Liu Shoucheng, why did he have to call him to toast the guests of the railway police station.

Back then, Liu Shoucheng arrested him by mistake, beat out all his feces and urine, and almost made a big mistake, which is a well-known thing in the police station.

Now, as Liu Shoucheng's son-in-law, he went to toast everyone. His psychology was strongly stimulated, his face was hot, and he was really a little embarrassed.

Liu Dongmei didn't know about this episode between Tiemin and her father.

She stayed, called her uncle, and thanked everyone before returning home with a cold face. While others were not paying attention, she whispered a warning to Tiemin: "Wait until you go home in the evening and see how I clean you up." ”

Tiemin's attention was focused on the two people in charge of the account table.

Whenever there were fewer people who came to the ceremony, they had to settle the account and check the amount softly.

The two reconciled accounts for the first time, and when they said the words 10,000, Tie Min felt flickered when he heard it.

Wang Li and her mother run a cooked food business, and the highest turnover is only one or two hundred yuan a day. For many years, it has been called a 10,000-yuan household.

Liu Shoucheng is an ordinary railway public security, and the salary he earns is not as much as Tie Min, and he can actually receive a gift of 10,000 yuan when he does things.

The guests who accompanied the ceremony continued, and Tie Min sat there silently making a bet with himself that Liu Shoucheng would receive at least 10,000 yuan in gift money after this matter was completed.

Liu Shoucheng came back, he was drunk, and took the initiative to explain to Tiemin: "I drank a few more drinks with the old comrades at the police station." ”

"You're full, leave us here." Liu Dongmei complained, Liu Shoucheng laughed and said: "The ready-made stove at the door, you are still starving, don't you deserve it." ”

Liu Shoucheng turned around and went out, and after a short time, Liu Dongqing ran in and said to Tiemin: "Brother-in-law, it's time to eat." ”

Tie Min and Liu Dongmei, accompanied by Liu Dongqing, walked into the happy shed. Liu Shoucheng was already sitting firmly at a dining table, waiting for their arrival.

"Tiemin, have a drink." Liu Shoucheng has a rare tenderness towards Tiemin.

"If you don't drink it, you'll have to go in a while." Tiemin sat down, picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat.

"Holly, pour your brother-in-law a drink." Liu Shoucheng gave an order, Liu Dongqing poured a full glass of wine for Tie Min, and also poured himself a glass of wine, then picked up the wine glass and said: "Brother-in-law, thank you for everything you have done for me, I respect you." ”

Tie Min looked at Liu Dongqing puzzled, thinking that this was their customary word here, and he should be polite.

"Holly, what did your brother-in-law do for you?" Liu Dongmei listened to the freshness, she smiled and asked Liu Dongqing.

Without waiting for Liu Dongqing to answer, Liu Shoucheng grabbed and said: "Thanks to Tiemin's reminder, I am ready to retire from illness and let Dongqing take over my shift." ”

Liu Dongmei's smiling face fell into the cold in an instant, and she stopped talking.

Seeing this, Tiemin picked up his wine glass and said, "Holly, congratulations." ”

Liu Shoucheng also picked up his wine glass, took the initiative to touch Tie Min and Liu Dongqing, and said, "Tie Min, in the future, your brother will depend on you to take care of it." ”

"Don't dare to be." Before Tiemin had time to eat, he sealed the door for Liu Shoucheng. He said, "I'm just a shunter, how can I help." ”

"Let's not talk about this today, let's discuss it slowly when we go back." Liu Shoucheng sandwiched a chicken leg for Tiemin, looking very amiable.

Liu Dongmei sat there sullenly, not eating or drinking.

Liu Shoucheng knew his daughter's thoughts at a glance, and he whispered in Liu Dongmei's ear: "Half of the gift money received today will be given to you." Are you happy now? ”

"Lao Liu, settle the bill." The two bookkeepers came over with a leather bag.

"Come, sit down, let's have a drink together." Liu Shoucheng beckoned the two to sit down and asked Liu Dongqing to bring cups and bowls for the two.

One of them whispered, "I've collected a total of 21,000 yuan, it's time to close the account." ”

Liu Shoucheng was obviously stunned when he heard the number of money. He whispered, "Collect so much!" ”

He peeked at Liu Dongmei.

Liu Dongmei smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Dad, let's have a drink." ”
