Xue Ling was very curious and asked, "Then what is he doing now?"
"It seems like he is helping Cuiliu's uncle in the county town. But Cuiliu's aunt is very powerful and keeps disgusting the old man."
"Yes! I heard that her aunt even beat her grandmother and did not allow the old man to eat!"
"I've seen it even before! Her aunt pointed at the old man's face and cursed, and she brought out all the swear words! It's so stingy!"
Xue Ling couldn't help but feel sorry for the old man.
Running a boat is a very, very hard and dangerous job. The old man must have lived a difficult life when he was young. I didn’t expect that he would be so unfortunate in his later years!
Soon, the entrance of Hejia Village arrived.
Several bridesmaids got out of the car one after another and waved to Xue Ling enthusiastically.
"Sister-in-law! Thank you!"
"This is my first time taking a bus! It's so fast!"
"Goodbye! Thank you sister-in-law!"
Xue Ling waved to them, turned the steering wheel, and soon returned to the road.
Halfway through the road, the sky became darker and it started to rain and snow.
The snowflakes were rising, and the vision was a bit bad.
Xue Ling didn't dare to drive fast, so he had to drive slowly.
When we arrived at the development zone, it was already evening.
Cheng Tianyuan was wrapped in a leather jacket given by his mother-in-law and was waiting at the door.
Xue Ling opened the car door and rushed into the house quickly.
He hurriedly hugged her.
"Is it cold?"
Xue Ling shook her head, unable to adapt to the air conditioner outside, and shivered.
"Of course it's not cold inside the car, it's cold when it comes out."
Cheng Tianyuan's nose was slightly red and he whispered: "I was worried when I saw it raining and snowing just now. In such a ghost weather, driving is really dangerous!"
"Shh!" Xue Ling looked at him angrily and whispered: "Today is a great day for Chen Min and Cui Liu, don't talk nonsense."
Cheng Tianyuan smiled softly and explained: "The guests have left, and the happy days have passed. After the wife has married her, she will be her own family."
"This is what you men think!" Xue Ling smiled and scolded: "I always feel that my wife belongs to you! She is your appendix!"
Cheng Tianyuan just laughed and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
"Let's go, I'll take you to have some warm drinks."
Xue Ling couldn't help asking, "Where is Xiao Ranran? Where is it?"
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Chen Lan took him to play with the soap empty box in the store, and he had a lot of fun."
"Don't wet urine?" Xue Ling asked worriedly: "It's too easy to catch a cold in such weather."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and explained: "Before he came out, I took him to urinate."
Xue Ling finally felt relieved.
That evening, Ah Hu's mother cooked porridge, stir-fried a few dishes of vegetables, and a pot of pork belly.
However, everyone was full at noon, and the pork belly didn't move much, and they only ate vegetables and porridge.
The weather was really cold, and everyone went back after eating.
Chen Min and Cui Liu returned to their new house.
Because Chen Min's mother is gone, many things can only be decided by Aunt Ah Hu's mother.
She stayed on the third floor to sleep and told Ah Hu to send Chen Min's father back, saying that she would help make sweet eggs for the bride the next day.
Ah Hu had already sobered up and borrowed a jeep from Cheng Tianyuan and took his uncle back.
Seeing that the weather was so bad, he didn't dare to go around. He went back to his home in Wangjiangyuan, took a hot bath, washed away the alcohol, and saw that it was only around 7 o'clock in the evening, so he didn't want to be stupid at home alone.
After sitting there, he went to Liu Xiaoyu's house.
Liu Xiaoyu was playing poker with the children at home. When she saw him coming, she was so happy that she drove the children away.
"Go and go! Go back to your room! I want to have tea and chat with Uncle Ahu!"
The children all liked Ah Hu very much and couldn't bear to leave, so they surrounded him and asked questions.
Ah Hu grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and smiled and gave it a candy.
"My cousin got married today. I drove here the day before yesterday. I have to go back to the provincial capital tomorrow."
The children took the candy and went back to the room with a happy smile. The chattering small living room finally calmed down.
Liu Xiaoyu's lover boiled hot water and smiled and said, "You guys talk, I'll go to the room to let the children go to bed early."
Ahu thanked: "Thank you sister-in-law, you can go busy."
Liu Xiaoyu pinched out a small cluster of treasured tea leaves, put it in a cup, washed it with hot water, and handed it to Ah Hu.
"Amin got married in a blink of an eye, so fast!"
Ahu's smile sluggishly, and he whispered: "Yes! I'm the only one who is alone!"
Liu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You kid is in a blessing and you don't know how lucky you are! If you can just stay alone, what are you afraid of! Only when you have a wife and a child will you know how difficult life is!"
"How difficult? How difficult is it?" Ah Hu glared at him and scolded: "You are in a blessing and don't know how to be blessed! I want a wife and a child, but I haven't even had it yet!"
Liu Xiaoyu sighed unknowingly and narrowed her eyes: "The snow was too heavy these days, and the construction site could not start construction. Yesterday, I was listening to the radio at home, and suddenly I heard this sentence... I think it makes sense."
"What are you talking about?" Ah Hu asked lazily.
Liu Xiaoyu replied: "It says that the family is a responsibility and a burden for one person. If you want a good family, you have to afford the family. In addition, although the family is a burden, it is also a sweet burden. If it is gone,
For family and relatives, you will find that life is not fun and you will lose your goals even if you live.”
"Yes." Ah Hu narrowed his eyes and replied, "It makes sense."
Liu Xiaoyu frowned and whispered: "My old mother was sick a while ago. She stayed in the hospital and spent a lot of money. It happened that something happened to a brother at home, and I borrowed him 100 yuan. Later, she wanted to give it to her.
If I rent a house nearby, the landlord insisted on paying the rent for three months first, and I almost couldn't make it. Fortunately, Sister Xue Ling asked me to borrow my salary in advance, otherwise... I guess I would have to boil cabbage in the past few days."
Ah Hu frowned: "Auntie is sick? Why don't you tell me? Call me and I'll send you a few hundred copies!"
After saying that, he took out his bag and lost four or fifty dollars and handed it to Liu Xiaoyu.
"This is what I'm treating the aunt and caring for her, not lending her to you."
Liu Xiaoyu shook her head: "I'm cured of my illness. I have already borrowed my salary for the next month. I can save some money."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Ah Hu said rudely: "Although the aunt has recovered from her illness, she has to eat some good things to replenish her. This is for her to nourish her body. The Chinese New Year will be in more than a month, and it will cost a lot of money again.
When you spend the next month’s money, what should you do during the Chinese New Year? Hold it and don’t talk nonsense!”
Liu Xiaoyu chuckled, but she still didn't want to take it.
"Sister-in-law Xue Ling said that at the end of the year, we will send New Year's red envelopes to our workers. Workers who have worked from the foundation to the New Year can send more than 100 per person. My red envelope is probably the largest, and it can cost 200 yuan. Sister-in-law.
She is generous, you know."
"She is my boss, why don't I know!" Ah Hu laughed, took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and threw them to him.
Liu Xiaoyu was dissatisfied and cursed: "What are you doing? You no longer smoke, what are you doing with the cigarette?!"
"Amin gave it to him after getting married." Ahu said.
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu finally accepted it and whispered: "I will congratulate him next time I meet. But you should take this money back. My wife and I will take good care of her."
"If you don't have two hundred, just one hundred." Ah Hu took two fifty pieces and said angrily: "This is the money I bought chicken for the aunt. You dare not - I won't come next time!"
Liu Xiaoyu glanced at him, picked up and put it in her trouser pocket.
He and Ah Hu have been brothers for many years, and everyone supports each other and doesn’t have to say too much, just one look is enough.
