Xu Chengjin crossed her arms and leaned against the wall pillar, looking at Xu Yin with a half-smile but not a smile: "I didn't expect that my wife is hiding so much."
Xu Yin touched her nose: Is it too late to change my mind now and say no, I don’t know him, so I just said casually?
"Well, I'm going to cook! You translate slowly."
She turned and fled.
Xu Chengjin chuckled lightly and did not ask her further.
Everyone has a secret, why bother getting to the bottom of it.
As for the secret of his future wife...he liked it very much.
After that day, Xu Yin had one more thing in her free time after dinner: being dragged by this guy to discuss the plot in the translation, and sometimes asking her the meaning of some obscure words.
Xu Yin: What's going on? Do you still want to imitate the ancients and wear red sleeves to add fragrance?
"Distracted?" He raised his index finger and flicked her forehead.
"Ah? No. What did you just ask?"
Being caught complaining, Xu Yin felt a little guilty. She looked down at the string of words he pointed at the translation manuscript and translated it smoothly without thinking:
"...As in the past, I still love you. I can't help but love you. I think I will love you until I die..."
She covered her mouth and turned to glare at him.
This guy has a plan!
Xu Chengjin pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, with a deep smile in his tone: "I didn't expect my wife to be so affectionate towards me, which makes me quite flattered..."
"..."
Go to sleep! Stop acting!
Chen Huilan put her ear against the door and listened for a while. She breathed a sigh of relief, straightened up and said to Xu Laosan: "It's okay, okay. After chatting for a while, Yinyin went back to the room. I don't know what we were talking about.
I heard my son-in-law laugh."
Xu Laosan was trying on his new clothes. Hearing this, he continued: "Just tell me what are you worried about. My son-in-law is doing well! Speaking of my wife, in this weather, is it too hot for me to wear two clothes?"
Just wearing a long-sleeved white shirt makes you feel stuffy. If you wear a military uniform outside, will you still suffer from heatstroke in this weather?
Chen Huilan was speechless: "This is for you to wear on your daughter's wedding day. On the fifth day of September, the weather has cooled down, so it's just right to wear two. Why are you wearing it now?"
"If you buy it or not wear it? That's not the same as not buying it." Xu Laosan muttered, "Besides, aren't we going to have a wedding soon? I have to wear some new clothes to have a wedding banquet."
"I guess the boss doesn't have any new clothes. If you go to the wedding party dressed like this, the groom's family will think you are Xu Yuanyuan's biological father." Chen Huilan said angrily to him, blew out the kerosene lamp, and went to bed.
"Hey! Wife, I haven't taken off my clothes yet! What will I think if you turn out the light?"
"You have to take off your clothes and watch with a light on?"
"I'll appreciate it again..."
"..."
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of August, Xu Yuanyuan’s wedding day.
After Xu Sang and his wife arrived, Xu, San and his family went to the elder's house to have a wedding banquet.
It was only when Xu Sang returned to her parents' home after the summer harvest that she found out that her second sister had actually found a son-in-law who came to her home. Moreover, this son-in-law was one of the best among men - he was a good-looking man and was good at saving money.
The second brother-in-law earned the money for approving land for the homestead and buying bricks and tiles to build a new house from writing manuscripts.
"When will the foundation be built? Let your brother-in-law come to help then." Xu Sang walked with his second sister and chatted, "When will the bricks and tiles be approved?"
Xu Yin said: "I could have built the foundation a long time ago, but it has been raining for the past few days. If the weather clears up tomorrow and the day after, I plan to start the construction. I have asked Chen Lei and the others for help. If my brother-in-law is busy, there is no need to come here."
The second sister is building a house. As the eldest sister, why doesn't the eldest brother-in-law come to help?
Xu Sang came over no matter what.
Xu Yin assigned tasks to the two of them: one helped boil water and deliver tea, and the other helped build the foundation.
The approved quantity of bricks and tiles is only enough for her to build three bungalows, so it won't take long to build the house. Once the bricks and tiles arrive, it will probably be able to support the house in two days.
On the contrary, building a foundation is time-consuming and laborious. After all, the stability of a house depends entirely on the foundation.
Then there is the interior decoration.
Fortunately, these days, if you want to pretend to be sophisticated, you have no choice. Either you lack the materials, or you are prone to being sued by interested parties for your capitalist-trafficking practices, which would be bad.
The interior walls are plastered with lime and whitewashed, and the beams and columns are painted with waterproof paint to prevent insects. Then the ventilation is ventilated, the furniture is moved in, the cabinet doors are pasted with red double happiness, the stool legs are tied, and the handles are tied with red wool to give it a festive feel.
Therefore, Xu Yin is not in a hurry and will definitely get it done before the ninth month of the lunar calendar.
When Xu Laosan and his family arrived, the main hall of Xu Laosan's house was already full of relatives and friends.
Zou Caifen's natal family is close by, and several of her sisters-in-law and cousin-in-law came to help early in the morning.
When I saw Chen Huilan, my sister-in-law, she not only arrived at this point, but after she arrived, she sat down to eat melon seeds like other relatives and friends, without doing anything to help. She looked like she was just waiting for a wedding banquet. Zou Caifen's sister-in-law curled her lips in disdain: "Lazy
What has happened! No wonder we are so poor that we are facing famine."
Although Li Chunxiang didn't get along with her two sisters-in-law, she didn't like the eldest sister-in-law even more. Especially after hearing her precious son come back, he said that he didn't have enough food at all during the few months he stayed in the old family's house.
The only times when Xu Yin was full was when she went to school to see Xu Lan and brought them cakes and snacks. Twice, it was braised pork and steamed buns. Otherwise, she would be too hungry to walk.
Therefore, the dissatisfaction with the boss has risen to a high level.
At this moment, hearing what her eldest sister-in-law said, Li Chunxiang snorted and said:
"My life is very comfortable now! The work points earned by their family of three may be more than those earned by your family of five. If it were me, I could be lazy and lazy. Who could have a good and capable daughter?
You don’t care about the family and the outside world, but you also hired a son-in-law who can lay golden eggs. How can you be so poor that you are going to famine?"
Zou Caifen's sister-in-law choked.
They are all in the same brigade, how could they not know the changes that have taken place in Xu Laosan's family in the past six months? I have listened to Xu Laosan's show off, and I don't know how many times I have heard it.
She just couldn't stand women like Chen Huilan. She was lazy when she was in her mother's family, and she was also lazy when she came to her husband's family. However, her life was better than those hard-working people like them who worked with their eyes open until dark and closed their eyes. How can people not be jealous of this?
.
Chen Huilan doesn't care what these people think of her, she's just so lazy that she doesn't despise her own daughter, and outsiders think whatever they want.
She leisurely finished cracking a handful of melon seeds, got up and went to the kitchen of her boss's house, walked around in a circle, returned to the main room with a clear mind, and said to her three daughters:
"Your uncle is doing great today! He prepared six big meat dishes. In addition to the head soup, pork and fish we thought of, there are both whole chicken and whole duck, and there is also a braised pork elbow! Be good!"
Xu Lan became excited: "Mom, let's decorate more later! There will be meat and vegetables at home tomorrow!"
Xu Sang pursed his lips and smiled, not surprised by this.
Xu Yin's head turned black: "Don't! In addition to the relatives on our side, there are also relatives on the uncle's mother's side, and the men who come to pick up the bride also have to sit at the same table. It's so bad."
"It's okay, it's okay, everyone is like this." Xu Laosan said nonchalantly while eating melon seeds.
