Chapter 400: I went to see Su Xiaoxiao's grandparents
Jiang Yexun took advantage of the moonlight outside the corridor to take a closer look at it several times, and after making sure that there were no problems, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's all good, there are no problems." β
Su Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then went home with Jiang Yexun.
Su's father and Su's mother just pulled Jiang Yexun to talk about getting married and setting up wine in a few days, and Jiang Yexun didn't leave Su's house until ten o'clock in the evening.
The next day, Jiang Yexun came to the door again with the gifts he wanted to give to Su Xiaoxiao's grandparents.
Fortunately, nothing happened this time, and the two of them took the bus from the city to the south of the city for more than half an hour, and then they arrived at the slightly old bungalow.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao got out of the car, she saw a middle-aged woman squatting outside the yard washing clothes.
"Auntie!" She shouted happily from afar.
The woman was stunned when she heard her voice, then raised her head and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a happy face, "Hey, our girl is finally here." Come in, your grandparents have been talking about you, and I want you to come back and see the two old men. β
Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips a little embarrassed, "There are too many things to deal with in front of me, and I am afraid of causing you trouble, so I haven't come back." But now that things are basically settled, I don't have so many worries. β
"That's good! We know your father's business, as long as it is resolved now, then you can still live a good life in the future. Zhu Penny wiped her water-stained hand on her trouser leg, and then pulled Su Xiaoxiao's hand and patted it in her palm.
Then he looked at Jiang Yexun who was standing on the side, "You are Comrade Xiao Jiang!" looks really talented. In the future, our family Xiaoxiao will trouble you to take good care, her child has been held in the palm of our hands since she was a child, and her temperament is not as supple as the girls in your brigade, and she usually doesn't do any housework, if you expect to find a daughter-in-law to go back to serve you, or your family, then we don't need to tie this kiss. β
Because they were going to get married in a few days, Zhu Penny didn't have the heart to say some kind words in a twist and turn, so she simply said something ugly.
Thinking that if Jiang Yexun found out that they were not good at Xiaoxiao, then they could just withdraw from the marriage directly.
"I won't let Xiaoxiao do any work at home and outside, she just needs to eat and drink at home every day, usually find something to entertain, and don't get bored. I can cook, do laundry I bought a washing machine. As for earning a job in the field, I don't need it, I can go up to the mountains to hunt, and I can earn more money in a day than I can earn in a month by working in the field. β
Jiang Yexun could see that his little object had a good relationship with his grandparents, so he was not angry when he faced her aunt's warning, but explained it very seriously.
"You're still hunting at such a young age?" Penny Zhu was a little surprised.
If this little ginger is really a hunter, then what he said is not a lie at all.
After all, there is a saying in the Northeast now - the rod beats the roe deer and the scoop hits the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot.
Even if everything is collective now, things like hunting are generally given to the village when there are many prey and hunting.
The rest is basically whoever hits it owns it.
Whoever let this hunt risk their lives, and if they really manage it too hard, the people in the brigade will not be able to share the broth at all.
"Of course! He had been hunting since he was twelve or thirteen years old, and now he had been hunting for fourteen years, and he was already a particularly skilled old hunter, and last time he could even hunt a black blind man. And a black blind man sold for eight thousand, and there were five people in the chain, and each of them was divided into sixteen hundred. Su Xiaoxiao immediately showed off triumphantly.
Of course, the main thing is to say that the others are a little more empty, and she still has to find a specific example to make her aunt realize how powerful Jiang Yexun is.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Penny heard Su Xiaoxiao's words, there was less suspicion in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Yexun.
And Old Man Gu and Grandma Lin, who had been eavesdropping in the room, also opened the half-hidden door.
Although Su Xiaoxiao had long known that they were behind, he couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he saw them appear in front of him.
"Grandpa and grandma!" Su Xiaoxiao called sweetly, and then ran towards a milk swallow.
"Oh, grandma's carefulness, it's hard for you to go to the countryside this time." Grandma Lin hugged Su Xiaoxiao and cried.
Their family has never suffered anything since they were young, who would have thought that on the conditions of their family, it would be her turn to go to the countryside.
"Grandma, don't worry about me, I didn't suffer anything after I went to the countryside." Su Xiaoxiao was afraid that the old man would hurt his body if he was too sad, so he hurriedly coaxed.
But Grandma Lin didn't believe Su Xiaoxiao's words.
She pulled out the little girl she was holding in her arms, and then carefully looked her up and down several times.
As a result, Su Xiaoxiao was once again proved that she had been raised very well by Jiang Yexun and Aunt Guo in the past few months in the countryside.
Not only is it white and tender, but it seems to be a little fatter.
Obviously, the eldest daughter said that Xiaoxiao was arranged to cut pigweed after she went to the countryside.
Thinking of this, Grandma Lin looked at Jiang Yexun who was standing aside.
"You're Little Ginger, aren't you? Thank you so much, if it weren't for your care, we would definitely have to suffer a lot in the brigade. She said gratefully.
Jiang Yexun hurriedly said humbly: "I like Xiaoxiao, and it is natural to take care of her." β
After speaking, he put the things in his hand on the coffee table on the side again, and continued: "This is a gift I bought for my grandparents, uncles and aunts. I also bought gifts from Xiaoxiao's two cousins who went to the countryside, and I can send them directly when the time comes. β
"You kid really have a heart." Grandma Lin nodded with special satisfaction.
Although Jiang Yexun's skin is several degrees darker than that of people in the city, and he looks like he is from the village, he is good-looking, tall, and most importantly, he also understands etiquette, which is already stronger than many people in the city.
If there is anything bad about this marriage, it is that their family members will marry into the brigade after they get married.
Even if Xiao Jiang said that he would definitely bring them to settle in the city in another three years, Old Man Gu and Grandma Lin still felt very uneasy.
After all, it's just a promise, and whether it can be fulfilled depends not only on whether this person has the character to go back on his word, but also on his ability.
However, Xiao Jiang, a child who can make money, is willing to spend all the money on their family, and Grandma Lin and Old Man Gu are still very satisfied.
"Come on, come on. Ever since your mom called me and said you were going to bring your fiancΓ© to visit us in the next two days, I bought you your favorite peach cake. Taste it and see if it's the taste you like. Grandma Lin pulled Su Xiaoxiao to sit down on the sofa, opened the iron box on the coffee table, and took a piece of peach cake from it and handed it to her.
Su Xiaoxiao took a bite, and the familiar fragrance made her can't help but squint, "It's delicious!" Sure enough, the peach crisp made by the master in Shanghai is the best. β
"Eat more if you like." Grandma Lin said with a smile.
Then he took out a thick red paper bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Su Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Here are two hundred dollars, the dowry that your grandfather and I prepared for you."
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, looked at the old and vicissitudes of his grandparents' face, and hurriedly stuffed the red paper bag back.
"Grandma doesn't need it, we have money."
"You have money, that's yours, that's what my grandfather and I want. Don't be embarrassed, we will give every child in the family to get married. Your two cousins got married in the countryside, and we also gave them red envelopes. Grandma Lin insisted.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard him say this, she knew that she had no way to refuse, so she had to take the red envelope.
Immediately, Penny also walked out of the room, and she also held a thicker red envelope in her hand.
"Xiaoxiao, here is also two hundred yuan, it is the wedding red envelope that your uncle and I gave you. Don't refuse, your parents also gave you two cousins. β
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't cry or laugh a little, so she had to take the red envelope.
Looking at the unity of the two piles of people, she had the illusion that she was running to rob.
