The miscellaneous courtyard where Qiao's family is located was originally a two-entry courtyard.

The front and back yards are not big:

There are three main rooms, two wings on the east and west.

Because it is close to the five-star machinery factory, many workers were arranged by the street and the factory to come in.

According to the length of service, grade, etc., some employees are divided into one room, and some are given two.

There are two courtyards with a total of more than a dozen households.

Although Old Man Qiao's level is not very good, and his skills are average, he has old qualifications.

In the past, he was an apprentice worker in the foreigner machinery factory, but after liberation, he became the veteran of the five-star factory.

When the house was divided, he got two main houses in the front yard.

Widow Liu's man was also an old man in the machinery factory, but a few years later than Old Man Qiao.

Her home is in the east wing of the backyard.

There are also two rooms, one for the hall and the other for the inner room.

Widow Liu's man fell ill a few years ago and died, leaving only three daughters.

Originally, Widow Liu gave birth to four daughters in one go, one of whom died when he was a few years old.

The eldest daughter and the third daughter got married one after another, and only one of the younger daughters recruited a son-in-law at home.

Bai Sini's son-in-law is Gu Xiaoni's relative Gu Changhe.

According to the seniority in the village, Gu Xiaoni wants to call Gu Changhe brother.

As for Widow Liu, she is an aunt who can be beaten with eight poles.

With Gu Changhe's affection as a matchmaker, and this bit of kinship, it is not too much for Widow Liu to be an elder in front of Gu Tingcheng.

"Xiao Ni, let me tell you, don't be stupid!"

"The work of the machinery factory is left over from your family's founding of the country, why do you say that you can let people do it?"

"If you really can't do it, you just go to the factory and find the Women's Federation! There's always a place for you to call the shots! ”

Widow Liu's words were indeed from the perspective of "Gu Xiaoni".

Otherwise, it's just Qiao's neighbors, and they will have to watch the excitement and mud.

Gu Tingcheng knew that Widow Liu was doing this for his own good.

She looked at Widow Liu with gratitude in her eyes, "Auntie, thank you!" ”

Then, she added, "Still, let's forget about it." ”

"Jianguo's father's temper, others don't know, as an old neighbor, isn't it clear?"

"Falling and beating all day long, shouting and drinking at every turn...... Alas, my children and I just want to live a quiet life! ”

"Now there is another Qiao copper lock, a ridiculous thing that I never thought of, Jianguo's father can actually say it!"

When he said the last sentence, Gu Qingcheng's face was surprised and mocking, and more disheartened: "Forget it!" This Qiao family, I really can't stay any longer. ”

"Under the melon field and plums, if you don't get it right, it's just that the mud falls in the crotch of your pants, it's not or!"

Widow Liu opened her mouth and swallowed all the persuasive words in her stomach.

"Mom, I'm back! What's going on in the front yard? I heard it from afar! ”

Widow Liu dragged Gu Qingcheng's mother and son to their house, and before she could open the door, the door was pushed open from the inside.

A young man in his twenties, carrying a basin of water, came out of the house.

Looking up and seeing Widow Liu, the young man asked casually.

As soon as he finished asking, the young man saw Gu Tingcheng, "Huh? Xiao Ni is here too! Come inside! ”

He said as he stepped aside.

"Brother Changhe!"

Gu Tingcheng greeted the young man.

Gu Changhe's gaze swept over the small burden hanging on Gu Qingcheng's arm, and suddenly reacted, "Xiaoni, wasn't your family making trouble just now?" ”

"Oops, let's go inside!"

Widow Liu was a little impatient and waved her hand, "You hurry up and pour water, Xiao Ni and I will go into the house and say!" ”

Widow Liu's attitude towards Gu Changhe is not good, but she is not deliberately finding fault.

If you change your identity: Widow Liu is not a mother-in-law, but a mother-in-law, and she treats not a son-in-law, but a daughter-in-law, which seems normal and reasonable.

After all, door-to-door sons-in-law, like daughters-in-law, are "married" to other people's families.

However, there is an essential difference between a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law.

The former is a big man, with self-esteem and pride from gender and worldliness.

is also angry in the subject's family, the son-in-law is miserable and pitiful, and the daughter-in-law is right!

Gu Changhe's eyes flashed with gloom, and he held the hand of the aluminum basin, and there was a bulge of green tendons on the back of his hand.

However, he still "endured", squeezed out a smile, and found the bottom of the stairs by himself, "Hey! Come in! ”

After that, Gu Changhe took the basin and went to the water room in the courtyard.

Brush the dishes and pots and do it very carefully.

"Yo! Xiao Gu came to wash the dishes again. Haha, your son-in-law, you are capable. ”

The one who spoke was Li Hongmei, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhu Jinshui, the backyard steward, who was in her thirties, with a relatively thin mouth, and looked like a shrewd and sharp-tongued person.

What she said to Gu Changhe, at first glance, was normal.

But she mentioned "brushing the dishes" and said "son-in-law", so that "people with hearts" listened to it, and it was easy to think about it.

In this era, how can a big man in the north do housework?

Gu Changhe did it, but he was still an inverted door.

So—

"Hmm!" Gu Changhe replied indiscriminately, lowered his head, and his whole face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his expression.

Only when I was washing the dishes, it was banging, and in the yard in the evening, it looked a little harsh.

After Gu Tingcheng entered the house, he also noticed the movement outside.

A door-to-door son-in-law with a lot of "self-esteem", and a neighbor with a broken mouth who likes to joke people...... Tsk, this widow Liu's family may not be able to be peaceful in the future.

Woe to the Scourge in the Little Black Room: ...... Hmph, you yourself have been kicked out of the house by your in-laws, and you still have the heart to eat other people's melons?

"Xiaoni, do you really want to go back to your parents' house?"

Widow Liu has some pity, she has just lived a good life in the city for a few years, but now she has to go back with a big belly and her daughter.

My father and mother are distressed, but can my sisters-in-law be happy?

"Hmm!"

Of course, I want to go back, Gu Tingcheng has already got a note from Director Feng, and he needs to go back to his parents' house to go through the procedures such as moving his household registration.

Because of the requirements of this era, when the original patron Xiaoni got married, her hukou stayed in her mother's production team.

Now that Gu Tingcheng has obtained the quota of employees in the machinery factory, he has to move his household registration over.

In these days, there are two ways to eat commercial grain:

The first is to become a regular employee of the factory through recruitment;

Second, you can buy a house in the city and put your hukou on the house.

The former is a collective account, and the latter is an individual account.

Just like some of the workers in the machinery factory, some of them are from the countryside.

The factory recruits workers, and they go into the city and can apply for a single dormitory.

When you have enough years of service and grade, you can apply for a house division, or apply for a family member to change from farming to non-farming!

As a "specially recruited" employee of the machinery factory, it is not easy for Gu Tingcheng to have a formal establishment.

Want to split a room?

Hehe, let's stay up.

However, with the collective household registration of the factory, you can eat commercial grain.

So Gu Tingcheng still has to go back to his hometown to go through the formalities.

"Oh, you kid, why doesn't it make sense!"

“…… However, what you said also makes sense, Jianguo is a good boy, but his parents-"

Speaking of this, Widow Liu couldn't help but shake her head.

Gu Tingcheng didn't speak.

Outsiders can talk about their in-laws, but Gu Tingcheng is a cheap daughter-in-law, but they can't.

Even if the pair of in-laws have become a "thing of the past".

She lowered her head and didn't speak, but the corner of her eye subconsciously looked at her surroundings.

Widow Liu's man's surname is Bai, and the current head of the household is Widow Liu's little daughter, Bai Sini.

The Bai family's house is neither big nor small.

The furnishings of the hall are similar to those of Qiao's house.

They are all in the middle hall, a few strips, and eight immortal tables.

Near the western wall, a wooden bed was placed.

The futon is folded into four squares, and pillows are placed on top of it, and pillows embroidered with red plum blossoms are also covered on the pillows.

The beds were cleaned up.

During the day, when there are not enough stools to sit on, they will sit on the beds.

At night, you can pull back the bed and sleep.

Gu Tingcheng glanced at it, and he could roughly guess that this bed should be Widow Liu's.

Bai Sini and Gu Changhe were in the middle.

"Okay, since you have made up your mind, my aunt won't persuade you much!"

"It's not too early, Qiao'er is sleepy, you two mothers, just deal with me for a night first!"

As she spoke, Widow Liu stood up and took out another pillow from the cabinet, "I've washed all the pillows, they're not dirty!" ”

The pillows are for my wife, and there are no new bedding for guests these days.

Old things, wash them clean, they can still be used!

"Auntie, look at what you said! Hello to keep me and Qiao'er, it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I dislike it? ”

Gu Tingcheng said sincerely.

When Widow Liu saw that she was not a fake, she felt more and more that this girl was a pity!

What a sensible child, alas, the old couple of the Qiao family can do it hard.

Widow Liu cleaned up the bed, and Bai Sini led the child in from outside.

When Xu passed by the front yard, he had already heard the neighbors gossip about the Qiao family.

After entering the door, seeing Gu Tingcheng and Qiao Qiao, Bai Sini didn't ask much, just greeted her politely.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Bai Sini, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with slightly dark skin and normal facial features.

Well, if you use the scoring mode of the system, Bai Sini's appearance should be around sixty-five points.

It's not ugly, it's not beautiful, it's just an ordinary person.

Bai Sini, as the little daughter of her son-in-law, took over Bai's father's class and worked in the guest house under the machinery factory.

After working for seven or eight years, he has been rated as a second-level worker, with a salary of thirty-seven yuan per month.

The guest house also has some benefits, and she can support a family of four by herself.

However, Gu Changhe is a big man in the end, and it is impossible for him to really be a family cook at home.

Among the conditions for recruiting at the beginning, there was the Bai family helping Gu Changhe find a job.

Bai Sini took out most of her family resources and gave Gu Changhe a job as a temporary worker in the canteen.

The wages are lower, and there are no benefits for regular workers.

But, it's a serious job.

If you do it well, you can also turn it positive.

For rural people in this era, it is already a step to the sky!

Therefore, although he is a door-to-door son-in-law, the old and young in Gujia Village are very envious.

When Gu Changhe returned to the village, he would also receive all kinds of envious and jealous glances.

Especially when he successfully told Gu Xiaoni about his relatives and married her to the city, Gu Changhe was even more respected in his hometown.
