After hearing Jin Min's words, Gu Jingqi swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Second sister-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law is in confinement, but she is not making any fuss. Maybe her body does not allow her to make fuss now, because the baby is about to be one month old.
When it comes to hosting a full-moon banquet, my parents want to keep it low-key and just have the direct relatives and sister-in-law’s family entertain them. The elder brother and sister-in-law insist on making a big show of entertaining the villagers. To put it bluntly, they just want to receive gifts.”
People in rural areas are more hospitable. People in the village accept gifts for weddings and other events. In fact, the gift money is only five yuan.
What Gu Decheng meant was that when Gu Jinghui and Gu Jingchuan got married, everyone in the village followed the ceremony, and there were two children behind them. In future weddings, the villagers must follow the ceremony, so don't make a big fuss when the children are one month old.
They can't let the villagers give them gifts all the time, it would be embarrassing.
Besides, this kind of thing is all about reciprocity. The pleasure you receive from a gift now will have to be returned later.
Wang Ying and Gu Jinghui didn't care about that, they had to invite everyone in the village to make it a lively affair.
When Gu Jingxiu heard what Gu Jingqi said, he was furious, "They just love to take advantage. How much can they charge for a full moon? Dozens of households only have five yuan per person, which is only two to three hundred yuan. People who come with gifts are not allowed to eat or drink."
Well, will they settle this debt? Now that we are all away from home, our parents are the only ones at home, and my mother has to serve Wang Ying. With the full moon catering to so many people, do we need to hire a cook? With this money, we can’t
Does your family have flowers?"
Lin Min felt that that woman Wang Ying really couldn't hold up the wall.
The couple had a good plan, and they kept the money they received as gifts for their family to pay.
For a mere few hundred dollars...
She was too lazy to express her opinion, "Let them do it if they like. We are out of sight and out of mind."
"The key person has suffered so much for our parents. They are exhausted." Gu Jingqi felt uncomfortable when he thought that his mother was like an old woman all day long, serving her sister-in-law so humbly and being yelled at.
Gu Jingqi swore in his heart that he would study hard and stay in the city. He would pick up his parents from the countryside as soon as possible so that they could enjoy happiness in the village.
If the eldest couple continues to struggle like this, they will really lose 10 years of their lives.
Lin Min said, "It's hard work but there's nothing we can do about it. Who can tell my son to fail?"
She wasn't touched at all. The fault of a son not being a godfather was something they were used to. If they wanted to serve, they would serve him.
Gu Jinhui's behavior is inseparable from his parents' connivance. Now they are reaping the consequences to see how long they can support their old son.
A man like Gu Jinghui would only marry a wife like Wang Ying. Who would be willing to marry a woman with a little bit of brains?
Gu Decheng and Wang Guixiang also knew this very well, so they kept fawning over Wang Ying. They knew what kind of virtue their son had and it was not easy to find a wife.
As soon as Lin Min said this, Gu Jingqi and Gu Jingxiu both silenced and lowered their heads to eat. They both knew that the responsibility for Wang Ying's unscrupulous behavior at home lay largely with his elder brother.
Even the eldest brother is sometimes more troublesome than his wife.
Because he is the eldest in the family and the first to get married, he feels that everything his parents earn belongs to him. It is natural for his younger brothers and sisters to provide for him.
Fortunately, they have all left their hometowns now. Even if the eldest brother wants to rely on them, he cannot rely on himself. He has become a father again.
Maybe he could cheer up and support his family, but if he was still as lazy as before, he would have to wait to starve to death.
Gu Jingchuan's face was gloomy and he didn't participate in the whole process.
Lin Min saw that Gu Jingchuan's face was not good-looking, so she quickly stopped the topic, "Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. From now on, you two will treat me well here. Jing Qi will study hard, Jing Xiu will work hard, and everything will be better in the future."
Find a date in the city."
Jin Zhengtai, who was standing aside because they were chatting about family matters, couldn't get in a word, but when he heard that they were talking about finding a partner, his peach blossom eyes unconsciously fell on Gu Jingxiu's face.
When Gu Jingxiu mentioned finding a partner, she immediately became shy and lowered her head, "Second sister-in-law, I'm still young, so I won't consider this for the time being."
Gu Jingqi was generous and mature at a young age, "Second sister-in-law, I have already thought about it. When I find a partner, I must follow the second sister-in-law's standards. I must not look for someone like my eldest sister-in-law, or a woman like her."
, it’s better to be single all your life.”
Gu Jingchuan, who had been busy eating, finally reacted. He raised his eyes and looked at Gu Jingqi with a faint tone, "There is only one second sister-in-law for you in this world. Everyone is unique. You can't find someone exactly like her.
"
"Jing Qi, your second brother is right, everyone is unique. When you meet the right person in the future, you can tolerate any of her shortcomings, but you have to remember one thing, you must find someone who can follow you.
Live your life together with people who share your three views."
Gu Jingqi looked confused when he heard this.
Singles Jin Zhengtai and Gu Jingxiu also stopped eating and listened to Lin Min's words with seeming understanding.
Lin Min didn't notice the look in their eyes, she waved her hand to Gu Jingqi, "Oh, forget it, why am I telling you all this? Study your books carefully and get back to college as soon as possible. Only if you are good enough can you meet outstanding people."
People of the same age, birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups, this is the truth.”
"I know, I'll do my homework after dinner." Gu Jingqi looked at Gu Jingchuan solemnly, "Second brother transferred me to another school this time. Didn't you spend a lot of money?"
Gu Jingchuan shook his head, "No money."
The matter was handled by Jin Min's second aunt whom she had not met yet, and it really cost no money.
Just pay the tuition when school starts.
Gu Jingqi didn't believe it, "How could such a big thing cost nothing? I heard that tuition fees for studying in the city are very expensive."
Gu Jingqi unzipped his coat and took out a gray and white plaid handkerchief from the inner pocket of the sweater inside. The handkerchief seemed to be wrapped with something, and it looked bulging.
He handed the handkerchief to Gu Jingchuan, "This is the tuition my father gave me before I came here. Second brother, take it."
Seeing everyone's weird looks, Gu Jingqi explained in embarrassment, "Mom was afraid that I would have so much money on me, so she had to sew a pocket on the lining of my sweater to carry the money."
In fact, Gu Jingqi was embarrassed to say that his mother originally wanted to sew a pocket on his underwear to put the money in. This would be safe, but how could he, a young man, have the nerve to let his mother sew a pocket on his underwear?
Wang Guixiang had no choice but to sew the pocket onto the lining of his sweater.
Lin Min was not surprised by Gu Jingqi's words.
She remembered that some of the briefs she bought in this era had a large pocket on them, just for the convenience of carrying money.
There was no way, in this era, the social order was relatively chaotic, especially on the train, there were too many pickpockets. After hearing Jin Min's words, Gu Jingqi swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Second sister-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law is in confinement. She
She didn't make a fuss, maybe her body didn't allow her to make a fuss now, but the child was about to be one month old, and they wanted to have a full moon party. Her parents wanted to keep it low-key, and just have her direct relatives and sister-in-law's family entertain her. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are very special.
You need to make a big show of it and entertain the villagers. To put it bluntly, they just want to receive gifts."
People in rural areas are more hospitable. People in the village accept gifts for weddings and other events. In fact, the gift money is only five yuan.

Do your family members spend money?" ??
Lin Min felt that that woman Wang Ying really couldn't hold up the wall.
The couple had a good plan, and they kept the money they received as gifts for their family to pay.
For a mere few hundred dollars...
She was too lazy to express her opinion, "Let them do it if they like. We are out of sight and out of mind."
