806 Chapter 806 Five Zero Miserable Sister-in-Law 39
Chapter 806: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (39)
"Lao Cheng, are you having guests at your house recently? Your wife grabs the best spot in the sun every day, basking in the long and short sun, and Ajin is not at home. How can you two husband and wife cover you with so many quilts?"
Father Cheng had just returned from the morning market with a vegetable basket when his neighbor, Mrs. Wu, stopped him and asked him.
In the past, the top floor of the staff building, the best balcony, had always been Mrs. Wu's territory, because no one got up earlier than her.
She dried melon seeds and soybeans in the summer, and dried quilts and mattresses in the winter. As long as the weather was good, she could dry them every day, and it was very leisurely.
Unexpectedly, during this period, Lao Cheng got up earlier than she did for the first time in history. Every time the sun came out, she took the best position with the longest sunlight.
Mrs. Wu couldn't get a good seat for five consecutive days with relatively good weather, so she couldn't help but compete with Lao Cheng's wife. She vowed to get up early in the morning and get up as soon as the rooster crows, and she had to get there before Lao Cheng.
My wife must have a good seat in front.
Unexpectedly, Old Cheng's wife was even more ruthless, occupying a seat on the terrace before the rooster crowed.
Mrs. Wu was discouraged. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of heavyweight guests Lao Cheng's family was going to welcome, and why Lao Cheng's wife had endless quilts, mattresses, and pillows...
When Father Cheng heard what she said, he smiled honestly and corrected: "Not a guest, but my daughter-in-law! Ajin is getting married! When he comes back, let him take his wife to share the wedding candies with you!"
"Hey! Ajin got married? When did it happen? We live in the same building and I haven't even heard of you talking about it. You two are really keeping it a secret!"
Mrs. Wu suddenly realized.
It turned out that it was Lao Cheng's son who was getting married! No wonder there were two quilts and a pair of pillows that looked like they were newly made, and one of the quilts still had a red background of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Mrs. Wu's cloudy old eyes flashed with the light of gossip: "Where is Ajin's wife from? Hasn't Ajin been working in Beiguan? Aren't you two people who asked someone to find someone for him?"
"He found it himself at the station."
"That's a comrade-in-arms? A comrade-in-arms! We go in and go out together! It's just difficult for you two. Having a daughter-in-law is no different. I can't serve you."
"What age are we in? How can we have a daughter-in-law to take care of us?" Cheng's father waved his hand, "The young couple is living well, so my wife and I can rest assured."
This is absolutely true.
Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were really worried that their son would die alone, as if there was no girl in the world who could catch his eye. Let alone the one he was dating, even if he was introduced by someone, he would not meet her.
If it were another pair of parents, they might have arranged a marriage for their son according to their own preferences.
These days, even wealthy and powerful families make decisions for their children and arrange marriages, not to mention they are just ordinary working-class families.
But Cheng's father and Cheng's mother had read books, watched plays, and had seen cases where their relatives were very unhappy due to arranged marriages. They only had this one child. Cheng's mother was in poor health, and the doctor advised not to have more children, so
They don't want their only child to have an unhappy marriage because of their interference.
But it was not enough to put it off like this, so he wrote a letter asking his son to save enough for his vacation and go to Yuanshan County to visit his aunt, hoping to take this opportunity to let his aunt find a partner for him.
Unexpectedly, this boy found a wife in Beiguan without saying anything.
Mother Cheng was also a little worried while she was preparing the wedding room. When she saw Lao Cheng coming back with a vegetable basket, she asked, "Do you think our son's picky temperament will make it difficult for him to find a wife to get along with?"
"How many times have you asked this? How do I know? Like you, I have never been with her. I will know when I get here. If your son likes it, you have to get along with him if he is difficult to get along with? You can also drive him out.
Can’t make it?”
"..."
Cheng's mother glanced at her husband: "Is there anyone who talks like that? Go ahead! Kill the chicken, and you don't know when you will get home. You can only say years and years ago, but you won't give any confirmation."
Father Cheng picked up the big rooster with its ankles tied, shook his head and said to the chicken: "Oh! All the money I saved this year has been donated to you! I hope you will do your best, let Ajin's wife eat happily, and the whole family will be happy.
Yes, it counts as the end of your life."
"..."
Cheng's mother was amused by her husband and said, "Do you still have time to talk to the chicken? If you have time, wash the vegetables for me."
"You are a bit vulgar. Am I speaking in a normal way? This is a final farewell."
"Okay, okay, continue talking. I'll leave the kitchen work to you! I'm going to lie down for a while. I've been getting up early these past few days to grab a spot to dry myself under the quilt. I'm so tired that my back hurts again."
"Then go and rest, I will do the rest of the work. You said it is true of you, you get up before the rooster crows, why bother! Who would dry things in the dark early morning?"
"You don't know, Mrs. Wu downstairs is very smart. I couldn't afford to go early, so she rounded up the platforms facing the best. The rest either had short sunlight hours or were in corners with a little wind.
, the quilt surface will rub against the dust on the wall. This is a newly made quilt, so how can I let it go? It would be better to hang it directly on the balcony in front of my house, because I am worried about dust on the wall."
"Lao Cheng! Lao Cheng! Your son and wife are back!"
While the couple was talking, Mrs. Wu's high-pitched voice sounded from the patio downstairs.
Father Cheng and Mother Cheng looked at each other. One of them didn't care about going to the kitchen to kill chickens and wash vegetables, and the other didn't go back to the room to rest. The two of them ran out of the house, holding on to the balcony railing and looking down.
Downstairs, Xu Yin and Cheng Shaojin were surrounded by Mrs. Wu and other family members of employees who were fetching water and washing clothes in the courtyard.
This question asked: "Ajin, when did you get married? Where is your wife from?"
The one said: "Ajin, we have watched you grow up after all. The wedding wine is not our turn, so you should give us a few wedding candies to try."
"Hey -" Mother Cheng shouted downstairs, "Don't scare my daughter-in-law! Otherwise, I will settle the score with you!"
"Hahaha……"
The family members of the employees who were joking around the young couple dispersed in a hurry with laughter.
Only Mrs. Wu followed them upstairs. As she walked, she did not forget to complain about Cheng's mother's abnormal behavior in recent days:
"Your mother rarely went up to the roof to dry things in the past. Even if she did, she would only go up there at noon. In the past few days, for your wedding, you have been occupying the balcony every day before the rooster crows..."
Before we could say enough, we went to the floor where Mrs. Wu’s house was.
The Cheng family has to climb another flight of stairs, which is on the fourth floor.
Father Cheng and Mother Cheng could not wait to come down to greet them.
Perhaps she was walking a little hastily, and Cheng's mother twisted her waist.
"Ouch!"
She held her waist and shouted softly.
"What's wrong, mother?"
Cheng Shaojin stretched out her long legs, stepped up several stairs at a time, and stepped forward to support her.
Cheng's father first nodded and said hello to Xu Yin, and then explained: "I guess it's because I've been up a few mornings recently, I'm tired, and my back pain comes back again."
Mother Cheng waved her hand: "It's okay, it's the same old habit. Let's not be stuck in the corridor and go home quickly! Yin Yin, are you tired from the train? Wash your face. Are you hungry? Mom will cook you a bowl of noodles first.
, your father is slow-moving, and the dishes haven’t been finished yet. Lunch will have to wait for a while, so you and Ajin should go to the room to rest first."
"Okay, thank you, Mom and Dad."
Xu Yin took advantage of Cheng Shaojin's inattention and secretly added a small bottle of massage oil prepared by Linglu and a tube of 50-year-old old wild ginseng to her luggage.
