Chapter 74 The poor care about face, and the rich care about becoming poor
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at the old branch secretary's house.
The little couple not only brought the two children over, but also brought a few hard dishes, such as fried meatballs, braised beef, and half a pot of lamb and scorpions.
There is no shortage of food at home.
So when I went to my father-in-law's house for dinner, I wanted to be more lively, and then I wanted a daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan to save a little bit.
As for face, that's something that people only think about when they're poor.
Wu Yuan doesn't care about that now.
It's a pity that someone cares.
For example, Yang Meng and Jiang Fan are awkward.
It's not just because the eldest brother and eldest sister revolve around Wu Yuan's family.
It is also because of the fact that after this year, the other three families have earned money and lived out their hopes. Only his family, not only did not earn money, but put all their savings into it.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are often not the same.
Watching the children quickly play together, eating the bread and chocolates brought by the little sister from home, Yang Meng and Jiang Fan became more and more awkward.
If you want to help out in the kitchen.
But this year, each small family brought their own ingredients to help cook.
And they were empty-handed, and they didn't bring anything.
Although no one said anything, it made the two of them more and more awkward.
Wu Yuan was handling the white fish fillets with a brush in his hand, and squatted six children in front of him.
Yang Qianfan, the daughter of the eldest brother's family, is the most active.
"Auntie, I've been thinking about your boiled fish for a year." As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "But I searched all over the county, and there was no such dish." ”
The other children swallowed and nodded.
"If you want to eat, come to my house, can my aunt not cook it for you?"
Yang Qianfan shook the two braids and said, "No, my mother said that my aunt is a person who does big things, so I can't just disturb him." ”
Wu Yuan was very relieved: "At that moment, you eat more." ”
Yang Qianfan nodded heavily, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The other children also scrambled to be the first: "Little aunt, little uncle, I want to eat more." ”
Wu Yuan pointed to the bean sprouts next to him and said, "If you want to eat more, you have to help." Choose this bean sprout, and put it under the fish fillet for a while, it will be more delicious. ”
Yang Chong, the chubby eldest son of the second brother's family, frowned: "But little aunt, we won't choose." ”
"Take it and ask your mother, and you can go too."
Saying that, Wu Yuan picked up the washed fish fillet and entered the house.
It's a pity that the stove in the kitchen has to queue up.
Wu Yuan had to enter the hall empty, wanting to talk to his father-in-law.
As a result, as soon as he entered the house, he heard Yang Zhishu training Yang Meng in front of Yang Ben and Ma Changshan.
"Look at your depressed look, I know that you came to the house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and I don't know that I think you are crying for me."
Wu Yuan hurriedly stopped, "Dad, don't talk nonsense." ”
Yang Ben and Ma Changshan also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Yang Zhishu's words changed: "How big is it?" Isn't it just a loss of thousands of dollars? As for how much you have been frowning for half a year? A man, a man, can afford to take everything and let it go! Look at your brother-in-law, are people facing such a big crisis, have you shown it? ”
Subsequently, Wu Yuan and his party got together to swallow clouds and spit out fog.
There was no intention of relieving Yang Meng at all, and let Lao Yang continue to reprimand his second son.
In the kitchen, there are no outsiders.
The more the sisters talked, the more private they became, and the more they talked, the more lowly they became.
Later, Yang Luoyan even asked with a red face: "Sister, you said that men are too energetic, will there be a problem?" ”
Yang Shenyu didn't get it at first, and said casually: "What's the problem with being energetic?" It's not the energy that is the problem. ”
Regarding the answer to this question, Yang Luoyan was thinking about how to adjust the wording.
Seeing that the eldest sister suddenly understood, her face was angry, and her eyes were full of evil light: "You mean that? ”
Yang Luoyan's face turned red instantly, and she didn't have the courage to answer.
Yang Shenyu comprehended: "You are still young, you are strong-blooded, do a little more, there is no problem." ”
"Sister, will it be the same when you and your brother-in-law just got married?"
Yang Shenyu unconsciously thought of the comparison between Ma Changshan and Wu Yuan's figures, coupled with the 'vigorous' energy bonus that could make Yang Luoyan, who was ashamed to ask this question, and the answer he got was helpless.
But Yang Shenyu still nodded against his will: "Yes!" So you have to cherish his energy now. Otherwise, when you reach my age, you will regret it. ”
Having said that, Jiang Fan brought in the bean sprouts that had been selected and washed.
The sisters immediately stopped talking.
Jiang Fan seemed to feel something, put down the bean sprouts and turned around to leave.
"Second sister-in-law." As a result, Yang Luoyan stopped her and said, "After the year, I plan to open a clothing store, do you have time to help me?" ”
Jiang Fan turned around suddenly, and his surprise was overflowing: "Really? Then he nodded like a chicken and said, "Yes, yes!" ”
Yang Luoyan also said truthfully: "But this clothing store, I don't have the certainty of making money." But Wu Yuan said, let me toss, he will take care of it. Of course, I won't pay the bills. ”
Jiang Fan was instantly overjoyed, and leaned over to Yang Luoyan's side and said, "It's okay, the second sister-in-law is at your disposal." ”
"At that moment, I will happily eat Chinese New Year's Eve, forget all the unhappy things in the past, and prepare for the new year."
"Hmm."
Seeing Jiang Fan's footsteps walking briskly, Yang Shenyu asked, "You are willful, you!" Be careful that Wu Yuan has no energy for you one day. ”
"Then I'd love it." Yang Luoyan said stiffly, and then asked: "Sister, is it really possible?" ”
Yang Shenyu glanced at his sister: "I thought you really didn't care." ”
"Oops, sister~"
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, very pleasant to eat.
On the one hand, Yang Meng was scolded and numb, so he simply let go of eating and drinking and didn't talk much.
On the other hand, Jiang Fan became hopeful with Yang Luoyan's promise.
Of course, more importantly, the negative emotions of the two of them can't affect the overall situation.
In addition, the children eat happily and eat happily, and the atmosphere is naturally happy.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
A whole family is in the hall, setting up a scene, and making dumplings together.
Wu Yuan, the uncle, sat next to him with the old branch secretary, and it was enough to be able to see the Spring Festival Gala on TV, but it was not in the way.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala is still jubilant.
By the time the dumplings were finished, it was almost ten o'clock.
Each family brought enough dumplings for Ming'er to eat and went back to their respective homes.
When the young couple returned home, they found that the family dog was still hungry.
So Yang Luoyan went into the house to put the child down, and Wu Yuan went to the stove room to make some leftovers for the dog to celebrate the New Year.
When he was done with all this, he returned to the east chamber of the hall, and saw that Yang Luoyan had changed into a silky suspender pajamas and was waiting for him in a jade manner.
"You made these pajamas yourself according to the video of RTHK?"
"Well, how? The craftsmanship is not bad! ”
Whew......
Answering Yang Luoyan, there are no words, only actions.
