Wu Zhengqing hung up Wu's mother's phone and quickly called Brother Wu to tell him about the move.
Brother Wu was very happy and said: "Mom told me a few days ago that he and dad came to our place to celebrate the New Year. If you want to move, let your parents come to your place. This way the house will be more popular."
Wu Zhengqing said tactfully: "Brother, Mom went to your place because she missed her grandson. If she came to my place, she would talk about Wu Peng and Wu Bo all day long."
After a pause, he continued: "Because Mom doesn't like Miaomiao, my father-in-law and mother-in-law complained a lot. When Mom came over when we moved, I was worried that there would be an unpleasant commotion. I plan to invite them to live here for a while after Dad retires.
"
After moving to a new home, he wanted to have a relaxed and happy New Year. But if his mother came over, there would most likely be a quarrel, and it would be unlucky to have an uneasy New Year.
Brother Wu understood as soon as he heard that the Tian family was dissatisfied with the previous borrowing of money. He said, "Okay, let your parents come to my place to celebrate the New Year this year, and next year they will go to your place."
"Mom likes Wu Peng the most. She will definitely go to my second brother's place next year and won't come to my place."
Brother Wu looked stagnant and said that his mother liked Wu Peng more. Why didn't he reveal that he didn't want his mother to go? "Zhengqing, I told my mother not to subsidize us anymore. From now on, let them save their father's salary."
"
Wu Zhengqing still said the same thing: "I won't interfere with how my parents use their money, as long as they don't borrow money from me."
After a pause, he explained: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to borrow it, it's that I really don't have it. My monthly salary is only more than three hundred, which is not enough for Miaomiao to learn dancing and piano. The house and car at home are all embroidered.
I really can’t talk about spending money to buy it.”
If the family is poor, they must be filial to their parents. The problem is that his father's salary is almost five times that of his. Only Xiu'er can make money. Otherwise, if his parents support his two older brothers like this, there will be a family war every day.
Brother Wu was also helpless and said: "I know it's not easy for you. After you returned to Sijiu City, I also talked to my mother, but my mother was stubborn and couldn't listen. But I told your sister-in-law, and my mother will give me some advice in the future.
Don’t take any more money.”
When they first agreed to get married, Tian Xiu and her younger brother were not a good match in terms of personal conditions. But her eldest brother-in-law is from the Tan family, and her eldest sister is also very powerful. She also marries younger wives and higher daughters, so her parents actively promoted the marriage. But as time goes by,
The general environment has changed. Tian Xiu has made a lot of money with the help of her mother's family. The little salary earned by her younger brother is not enough, and her voice at home has also been reduced. Unfortunately, his mother can't listen, and she says that marrying a chicken will follow a chicken and marry a dog.
Following the dog, Tian Xiu did not dare to divorce.
These words made Wu Zhengqing feel a lot more comfortable. He said: "Brother, if mom wants to give you money, you can buy her clothes or supplements after you accept it. If she doesn't want it, she will also supplement the second sister-in-law."
In fact, Wu Zhengqing had no problem with Wu's mother subsidizing her two brothers before. His father's high salary could not be used up to support his sons so that they could live a more relaxed life. But what Wu Er's sister-in-law did disgusted him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Sanya found someone to calculate the moving date, and then called Siya and the others to tell them to come back at that time. As for Tian Shao and Erya, they naturally came to notify them.
Sanya said: "Sister, let's celebrate the New Year at my house as a family this year!"
She couldn't say this before because her family was too small. So she spent the New Year either at Tian Shao's place or in Erya's big house.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "I'll have lunch at your house on New Year's Eve, and I'll go to Xiaohonglou for New Year's Eve dinner."
Sanya naturally had no objection. In the old man's situation, let alone her, even her parents had to take a step back.
Tian Shao went to the room and took out a double-sided embroidery. The front of this embroidery was peonies, and the back was a kitten flapping butterflies. There were no threads on the front and back.
Sanya fell in love with this piece of embroidery when she saw it, but she didn't want to accept it and said: "Sister, this is too expensive, I can't take it. Sister, if you want to give it away, just give it a calligraphy or painting written by you."
Let’s paint!”
Embroidery techniques like this have been lost and rarely survive, so they are expensive. In addition, Tian Shao also likes embroidery very much, and she will never take away Tian Shao's love.
Tian Shao saw her resolute attitude, so he took her to the study room, pointed to the scroll in the blue and white vat and said, "These are paintings collected over the years. They are not worth much. You can pick one from them!"
Sanya couldn't help but laugh when she heard this and said: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law said that the basins and bowls you used to feed the dogs were not worth much, but the experts saw them and scolded them for being a waste of natural resources."
Tian Shao couldn't help laughing when he thought of that incident, and said: "The pots and bowls were from the Republic of China, and they were imitations. They were only worth one or two yuan at the time. Later, the prices of old objects increased, and they also followed.
A rising tide lifts all boats."
The basins and bowls used for dogs to eat are now worth thousands. But I was afraid of being criticized again, so I put away the basins and bowls and replaced them with ordinary porcelain.
"So, eldest sister, I will listen to you when you say these words are worthless, but I don't dare to take them seriously."
Tian Shao was very happy when he heard this and said: "These are all modern paintings, not by famous artists, and they are really not worth much. The most expensive one among them only cost more than 800 when I bought it."
"When did you buy it?"
Tian Shao said he couldn't remember clearly: "It was either the year before last or New Year's Eve. Anyway, I bought it within the past two or three years. If you look at it first, you might not even like it!"
Sanya said that this was too modest. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what the eldest sister likes. However, she did not refuse the offer of 1,800 yuan: "Okay, then I won't be polite to you."
She picked up a piece and Sanya opened it and saw that it was a landscape painting, with "Huangshan Welcoming Pine" written in the upper left corner.
"Sister, this is the one!"
Tian Shao looked at it, nodded and said, "This painting can be hung in the living room and study room."
"good."
The day of moving came in a blink of an eye, because all the furniture and appliances were bought new, even the kitchen utensils Sanya also bought new ones. So when we moved, we only had clothes, bedding and other things.
Sanya runs her own clothing store. She and Miaomiao are in charge of the store, so the clothes are all in season. Therefore, among the three of them, Wu Zhengqing’s clothes are older and have fewer clothes. It’s not that Sanya is reluctant to buy more for him, but
He always wears a uniform at work, so it would be a waste to buy too many clothes and leave them at home without wearing them.
Because there were few things, and several people from Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Gao Youliang came to help, Sanya was not tired.
After everything was moved, Li Guihua and Erya came over to help her organize it. At noon, Tian Shao brought her food again.
Tian Shao smiled and said to Wu Zhengqing: "The food is not enough, you take Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to the restaurant to eat!"
When Wu Zhengqing heard this, he invited Gao Youliang and the others to go out to eat.
Seeing that most of these dishes were her favorites, Sanya couldn't hide the smile on her face: "Sister, thank you for your trouble."
Li Guihua was tired after working all morning. She went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks. She walked to the kitchen door and shouted: "Erya, your eldest sister has brought food. Come out and eat."
