Chapter 165: Uncle Comes to the Door
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Mao Yuzhen's house ushered in another wave of rare guests - Han Chunlei's uncle Mao Jiurong, and brother-in-law Mao Bingrong came!
In the first two years after his father Han Youzhong's death, the two uncles still came and went from time to time, occasionally helping their family.
It's just that Mao Yuzhen and Han Chunlei's two aunts fell out later, so they never had contact again.
Uncle Mao Jiurong used to be a soldier, his left leg was a little lame, and later he was assigned to a state-owned factory, and his aunt was from Yanguan Town, Haining, and their family had two daughters, both of whom were younger than Han Chuntao, but older than Han Chunlei, and now they are all married.
Uncle Mao Bingrong is farming, and his aunt is from the next village, and they have a son and a daughter, and now they have all started a family.
Last year, Han Chunlei helped the family earn money and made the family's life better, so Mao Yuzhen asked him and his eldest Han Chunfeng to take things to the two uncles' houses to pay New Year's greetings, which made the relationship between the two sides, which had been frozen for nearly eight years, tend to ease again.
Later, the eldest uncle's family sent the eldest son-in-law, and the younger uncle's family sent a son, as the representatives of the two families, to come to Chaijiawu to pay New Year's greetings to his aunt Mao Yuzhen, which can be regarded as a response to the easing of relations between the two families.
This time, the two uncles and aunts came to pay New Year's greetings, mainly because Han Chuntao was going to get married.
After all, at Han Chuntao's age, she is finally going to get married, and in the eyes of the two uncles, this is a big deal.
After many years, seeing the two maiden brothers come to the door again, Mao Yuzhen was very excited, and she was looking forward to melon seeds, peanuts, candy, and white sugar water, and she couldn't wait to take out all the good things at home.
Mao Yuzhen's usual ability and pungency are completely gone at this time, leaving only the helplessness in the chaos.
In the end, with the help of his two aunts, Zhang Luo prepared a hearty lunch.
Uncle Mao Jiurong is in his fifties, a veteran, and has been working in the office of a state-owned factory for many years, and has developed the habit of not liking to talk, but his aunt can speak well, and the husband and wife are very complementary.
Uncle Mao Bingrong is just the opposite, he usually likes to drink two glasses, and as soon as the wine is in place, there are more words. The little aunt doesn't like to talk much, she is thin and thin, and she looks shrewd and capable.
Today, I warmed some Shaoxing's rice wine at home, and a large family had a drink, and the atmosphere was very appropriate.
After being full of wine and food, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle went to the house of the two nephews to rest, and the two aunts pulled Mao Yuzhen and Han Chuntao to talk about the preparations for Han Chuntao's marriage in the back room.
In the hall, Han Chunlei was slightly drunk, half lying on the bamboo chair, resting his legs on the bench, and preparing to take a nap.
Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and the brother-in-law Mao Bingrong walked out of the back room
Han Chunlei quickly sat up straight and asked, "Uncle, don't you sleep at noon?"
"Uncle countryman, I don't have the habit of taking a nap, Chunlei, there is something that my uncle wants to talk to you about. ”
Mao Bingrong walked over with a slight step, and glanced at the opposite door with his eyes, which was the house where Han Chunlei's uncle Mao Jiurong rested.
"What's the matter, uncle, tell me. Han Chunlei got up and moved a stool for Mao Bingrong.
After Mao Bingrong sat down, he said: "Chunlei, you see that you are also capable now, and you are out of luck, I heard that Chai Jiawu is looking for money and messing with you, and these people are all fattening." After the New Year, you will also bring your cousin, will you?"
"Cousin Yugui, he doesn't cook well, I heard that he still wants to work as a chef in a state-run hotel. Han Chunlei said with a smile.
"What's the point of being a good cook?"
Mao Bingrong shook his head and said disappointedly: "You said that he doesn't make money every day, and your cousin-in-law quarrels with him twice in three days, and it's a mess of life." ”
"This ......"
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the matter between his cousin Mao Yugui and his wife, as a cousin, is not easy to comment.
Listening to his uncle talking like this, he could only listen quietly from the side.
"Chunlei, you should do your uncle a favor and let Yugui do it with you. Mao Bingrong said seriously.
"Uncle, is it harder to follow me than to be a chef in a state-run hotel?"
Chunlei, your cousin is loyal and honest, he has also studied for a few years, and he is literate and hyphenated, he will not embarrass you if he follows you. Mao Bingrong said with a smile.
"Hmm. Uncle, I understand what you mean, after the New Year, we will have some adjustments in our hands. When the time comes, I'll see if there's a suitable place for my cousin. If so, I'll arrange it as soon as possible, okay?"
Han Chunlei didn't refuse, but he didn't promise it in one go, all the arrangements had to wait for the end of the New Year and readjust the post before discussion.
"Okay, listen to you!" Uncle will go and squint for a while. ”
Mao Bingrong's heart was settled, and this sleepiness came up, so he sighed haughtly, got up and went back to the house.
In the end, the eldest uncle and the two aunts stayed at their house until dinner.
Han Chunlei and the others have been sending their two uncles and aunts to the entrance of Chaijiawu Village.
By the time he got home, it was getting dark.
Mao Yuzhen closed the courtyard door, and after returning to the house, she called Han Chunlei aside and asked, "In the afternoon, did your brother-in-law entrust you with the matter of Yugui?"
"Yes. Mom, how do you know?" Han Chunlei was surprised.
"Hey, your little aunt also told me secretly in the afternoon. Let you find a job for their family Yugui. I thought, after your sister gets married, she will definitely not be able to deliver goods to Shenzhen, or will you let your cousin replace your sister?" Mao Yuzhen proposed.
When Han Chunlei heard it, this uncle and aunt are really two-pronged, doing work at both ends.
He asked, "Asking my cousin to deliver the goods for my sister is also what my aunt said?"
"That's not it, how can she understand the knowledge of our family's business?"
Mao Yuzhen shook her head and said, "She just told me about your cousin's job search, but my mother is not stupid, she didn't make an assertion and promised him, don't you have to get the idea of our business in the end?"
Han Chunlei smiled dumbly, it was his turn to make up his mind at this time.
However, he also said truthfully: "Two days ago, when Uncle Zhanshui came to our house to pay New Year's greetings, he also mentioned to me that he wanted his son to join the Chunlei Tea Industry to take over my sister's job. ”
"Han Quanyou, top his class?" Mao Yuzhen was slightly startled.
Han Chunlei hummed and said, "Brother Quanyou has been in Shenzhen for more than a year, and he is familiar with Shenzhen, and his character is also well-known in the village. ”
Mao Yuzhen: "But Han Quanyou is an outsider after all, Yugui is my eldest nephew, your cousin, is his own family, and he can be trusted." What do you think, this is going to Shenzhen to deliver goods, there are only two or three people along the way, if Han Quanyou is in charge, who knows if they will make it bad in the tea. No, this errand still has to be watched by my own family to be safe!"
There is no harm without contrast.
At this time, Mao Yuzhen's attitude of supporting her nephew Mao Yugui is already obvious.
