Upon entering the room, Chen Xiaoer first saw the huanghuali Eight Immortals table and two huanghuali official hat chairs in the main room.
"Oh! Guan Li, you have some good things in this room!"
Cheng Guanli smiled and said: "This is all handed down from our ancestors. There was originally a carved and painted bed, but unfortunately it was chopped up by my second uncle in the backyard when I was a child."
"Are you kissing my second uncle?"
"No, I'm just a neighbor with the same surname. He's like my father and brother. Let's not talk about the past. Everyone, sit down quickly. I have good tea here."
Lao Mao'er said: "Guan Li, it would be better if you hung a few more paintings in this room."
He did have paintings, but he didn't hang them directly at home like Lao Guanguan did. He hid all three calligraphy and paintings.
Cheng Guanli poured the tea over and over and said with a smile: "I will hang it up when I find a suitable painting later. I have only been back for less than half a month."
Before dinner, I watched the ceremony and went to the backyard to have an old meeting.
When I heard it, all the young people shook their heads like a rattle.
"I won't go, I won't go. You are a bunch of kids. I have nothing to say to you. When your father-in-law comes, come and invite me. I will bring you a plate of wine and food for Mr. Guan later. I like to drink alone and be quiet."
"Okay, I'll bring you two plates in a minute!"
Seeing Cheng Guanli chatting happily with his friends at home, the Liu family of Xihu was very embarrassed and panicked.
Liu Lianlian said: "Mom, is there no chance for me and Brother Guanli in the future? If it is determined that there is no chance, you have to quickly introduce me to a partner. I am already nineteen!"
Aunt Liu looked at her daughter, pursed her lips and said: "It won't be that easy for a while. Besides, the day before yesterday I told everyone that you and Guan Li will get married next year. There are all these followers, and I originally wanted to marry you.
Yes, I have given up the idea, please let mom talk to the neighbors."
Liu Tongzhou said angrily: "It's not that you are impatient and quick-tongued. If you take things slowly and there is room for relaxation, that would be good. You almost got into a fight with Guan Li and became enemies."
"Don't blame me. After you saw Wen Jianwu watching the ceremony, didn't you say you wanted to recruit him as your son-in-law in your dreams? Isn't it for your own good?"
"Okay, okay, I can't stop your mouth when eating." Liu Tongzhou muttered, threw down his chopsticks and went out to relax.
Liu Lianlian thought for a while, rolled her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Hey, Mom, why don't you go to the backyard and ask Grandma Cheng and Aunt Cheng, why don't I marry Jianwu."
Aunt Liu looked at her fourth daughter and couldn't help but shake her head, "Daughter, how much do you want to get married? Jianwen isn't married yet, can Jianwu get married first?"
Liu Lianlian said: "Mom, you don't know, Jianwen's marriage has been announced, and I am worried. I don't know when he will get married. Jianwu certainly can't wait for his brother. After all, he is 18 too."
Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, "Who did you hear that Jianwen's marriage was blown? I chat in the alley every day, and I don't even know!"
"Humph, listen to Jianwen's wife! Isn't she in the same factory as me? Oh, yes, we can't say she is my wife. They have already broken up. I met her at lunch today and I jokingly called her Jianwen's sister-in-law. She told me
Don't yell like that, she and Jianwen broke up and won't get married by the end of the year."
Aunt Liu frowned after hearing this.
He murmured: "If Jianwen gets married, he will definitely have to live in the suburbs in a house allocated by the factory, because there is a younger brother at home who can't live there. But it will be different after Jianwu gets married. If they can't live in the backyard, they can separate first."
Come on, take this seat first, okay, my daughter, what you said makes sense, I’ll go to the backyard and have a chat."
The youngest daughter Jiajia said: "Mom, don't you discuss this with my father? Don't let us quarrel again then."
"What are you discussing with him? I'm the one who worries about getting married to your three sisters. He just has to go to work and earn money. I have the final say in everything at home!"
Aunt Liu said as she put down her chopsticks and went to the backyard.
No matter how good the food the Cheng family eats in the backyard, it doesn't taste good.
The head of the family, Cheng Dehai, was sentenced to three months in prison, and the workshop director also lost his job.
Brothers Jianwen and Jianwu were transferred to the Health Department. One cleaned the yard and the other cleaned the toilets.
He also gave the nearly 900 yuan intact to others.
Not counting this, the house leaked and it rained all night, so Cheng Jianwen, who was getting married at the end of the year, couldn't find a wife.
The original marriage was considered to be a perfect match. The woman's father was the director of the maintenance department of an electrical machine factory, and she and Cheng Dehai had known each other for a long time.
Now that Cheng Dehai has committed a crime, his reputation has been ruined, and the house where he got married is gone. When the girl's parents heard about it, they immediately disapproved of the marriage.
When the woman heard that Cheng Jianwen and his brother were drunk and causing trouble, they were knocked down and piled on top of each other. In the end, they went to the health department to clean the toilets, and angrily refused to give Cheng Jianwen an interview.
This morning, the woman had asked an intermediary to return the bride price to the Cheng family, and the wedding was completely ruined.
When Mrs. Cheng is outside, she can still put on a smile when she sees neighbors.
I couldn't be happier as soon as I got home.
Liu Aimei looked at her two sons and felt uncomfortably sad. Cheng Jianwen was even more angry. He was both angry with his fiancée for changing her mind and breaking up, and also angry with Cheng Guanli for being too cruel.
Only Cheng Jianwu was in a better mood. Apart from watching the ceremony, he was not worried about his future life.
The family of four was eating in silence when they looked up and saw Liu Tongzhou's daughter-in-law coming to the door in the front yard.
Mrs. Cheng immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Aunt Liu, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, Auntie, I have nothing else to do, I'm here to chat with you."
"Oh, then come inside and sit down. Have you eaten? Let's eat together."
"I've eaten it, you don't have to let it go, I won't cheat."
After moving a stool and sitting down, Aunt Liu got straight to the point: "Jianwu is already eighteen, have you considered finding a partner?"
Mrs. Cheng said: "Not yet, we can't wait until Jianwen gets married."
Aunt Liu sighed: "I heard that Jianwen won't get married by the end of the year?"
Old Mrs. Cheng couldn't pretend to smile anymore, her eyelids drooped, and she said sadly: "Yes, as soon as he came back from the ceremony, he made my house look like this in just a few days. Alas, if it weren't for his dead grandparents,
For his sake, I really don’t regard him as my grandson anymore.”
"Yeah, you think it's weird. He was fine before jumping in line, but when he came back he became a naughty person who couldn't be messed with. Just because I said a few words too many words, he locked my whole family in the house. Don't you think it's irritating!
"
"It seems like your Lianlian can't get along with him!"
"I don't agree even if it's possible. I don't like him now. He's too wicked! Auntie, I want to marry Lianlian to Jianwu as your granddaughter-in-law. Do you think that's okay? If Aimei and I become in-laws, I will too
She is half your daughter-in-law!"
"Ah? Are you talking about this?" Mrs. Cheng stood up at that time.
"Pfft! Cough cough~ Ah, cough!" Cheng Jianwu on the side was drinking watery noodle soup and almost choked to death.
Liu Aimei frowned and said, "Sister-in-law of the Liu family, have you come to my house to have fun?"
"Huh? Aimei, you can't say that. I'm serious, not joking. Isn't Jianwu not looking for a partner?"
Cheng Jianwen on the side couldn't help but said: "Aunt Liu, please go back quickly. You still think my house is not messy enough. It's all covered with chicken feathers. Don't be ridiculous. Can you ask Jianwu if he agrees?"
My attitude is still firm!” This chapter has been completed!
