The important matter of the meeting between the elders of both parties was successfully resolved, and everyone was happy. Yu Li and her mother happily went into the kitchen to cook, and the rest of the people chatted with the deaf old lady.
After all, she is a guest, not to mention the deaf old lady is her in-laws, so she naturally needs to be greeted well.
As we chatted, the topic turned to Duan Hongxuan.
When Yu Li's father asked about Duan Hongxuan, Yu Haitang's ears immediately pricked up.
Aunt Hu quickly introduced: "This child is another godson recognized by the old lady. The name was just introduced to you.
Speaking of Hongxuan, this kid is incredible, he..."
Aunt Hu was about to continue talking when she was suddenly interrupted by the deaf old lady, "Hi! Girl from the Hu family, you never forget to brag about Hongxuan wherever you go!"
"Old lady, I always tell the truth!"
"Okay, let me introduce my god-grandson!
This child’s parents are very capable people, they are all senior intellectuals and senior cadres of the country!”
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, the Yu family's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Duan Hongxuan.
Then the deaf old lady continued: "This kid is so smart that he was well educated by his parents. He has been good at studying since he was a child. He is famous in our alley, and everyone calls him a little scholar!
This is what the Hu girl wanted to say just now!"
Aunt Hu nodded vigorously, with a proud expression on her face.
"But it's a pity that this child has a hard life. His parents died in the line of duty last year, and he is now an orphan of a martyr.
I am also a lonely old woman, and I fell in love with this child, so I became my godfather!
Calculating, this child Hongxuan should be about the same age as your little girl. He is only 16 years old this year and is still in school."
Everyone in the Yu family was listening with great interest. When they heard that Duan Hongxuan’s parents were both senior cadres and intellectuals, the way they looked at Duan Hongxuan was wrong.
But when they finally heard that his parents had died, they couldn't help but feel a pity. The old man of the Yu family and Yu Li's father immediately lost interest in Duan Hongxuan, and secretly felt sorry for Duan Hongxuan's good skin!
Yu Haitang was full of sympathy for Duan Hongxuan, with complex emotions such as pity, regret, and even unwillingness welling up in her heart.
The deaf old lady didn't know why she deliberately blurred that Duan Hongxuan was going to university, not the middle school that was usually thought of at this age.
Nothing else was mentioned about Duan Hongxuan, and Duan Hongxuan just smiled and said nothing.
Aunt Hu seemed to have felt something. She was listening to the deaf old lady talking, sipping tea from time to time, cracking melon seeds, and at the same time gauging the reactions of everyone in the Yu family.
In this era, if you are not yet an adult, or more importantly, you have not yet entered the workforce, then if there are no elders in the family, you will be considered to have poor family conditions.
Because there are no adults to help at home, life must be difficult for a minor.
Even if you are looking for a job in the future, you may not be able to find a good job without the help of your elders.
For this kind of family, it’s considered good if people don’t bully you, and most of them will stay away.
But if this person is already working, has a good job, and has a decent income, and there are no elders in the family, it will be different. This is called no burden and no burden from the elderly.
This is a good family condition.
This is the difference between Duan Hongxuan and Shazhu in the eyes of uninformed people, and it is also the view in the hearts of Yu's family now.
Nowadays, for most ordinary people, having a full stomach is the top priority, and everything else can be ignored, or in other words, they don’t care about anything else!
The Yu family lost interest in Duan Hongxuan and started chatting with the deaf old lady about other topics. Duan Hongxuan remained silent, always smiling, eating melon seeds and drinking tea.
Aunt Hu understood now and never mentioned Duan Hongxuan again.
Soon, the meal was ready, and everyone was busy clearing the table and serving the food.
Mr. Yu also took out a bottle of Erguotou, but the deaf old lady and Duan Hongxuan declined, saying they didn't drink. Aunt Hu poured a glass to accompany them.
What should I say? This meal is already very rich for the family. It is rare to spend such a large amount of money. I even used a little of the meat and eggs that the deaf old lady and the others brought.
But for Duan Hongxuan and the deaf old lady, it was just average. In addition to their cooking skills, the most important thing was that there was little oil in the dishes.
Duan Hongxuan is not short of oil at all, and he also supplies the deaf old lady, so they usually use oil when cooking, and the dishes will naturally taste better.
But people in this era are very picky about cooking oil. Firstly, they are reluctant to part with it, and secondly, there is simply not enough oil, little or even none.
This is the normal state of ordinary family life in this era.
According to national regulations, the monthly ration of cooking oil for adults with urban household registration is three taels.
What is this concept? Nowadays, many families who cook at home may not even need three ounces of oil to cook a meal.
For this reason, many families even use their monthly gas stamps to exchange for other items, such as corn noodles and the like. There is not enough food to eat!
After the meal, the deaf old lady and Duan Hongxuan just paid it back, and everyone in the Yu family ate very happily.
After dinner, the deaf old lady took Yu Li to chat for a while. When she mentioned that she and Silly Zhu had made an appointment to get their marriage certificate on Wednesday morning, the deaf old lady simply asked Yu Li to get the certificate and not go home.
Go to the courtyard with Sha Zhu to see what else needs to be added to Sha Zhu’s home.
Yu Li agreed a little shyly, and the deaf old lady was so happy that she said yes repeatedly, and finally gave Yu Li a few words before saying goodbye to her family.
Yu's parents enthusiastically sent the three deaf old ladies out of the courtyard gate. Looking at the three people's retreating figures, Yu Li's father shook his head regretfully, "You said it would be great if the parents of this child named Duan Hongxuan were still there.
!
Just relying on the connections of the deaf old lady, I can ask them to find a good job when I graduate from the Navy next year!
It's a pity for this child. He is handsome and looks talented. It's a pity that there are no elders in the family. From now on, ugh!
But it's okay, He Yuzhu will become our son-in-law in the future, and he can at least help our family with food.
Yu Li is getting married, and Haitang will also start school in a few days. I am thinking that Haitang will be in high school when school starts, so I might as well let her live on campus. This way, the family will be much more relaxed!"
Yu Li's mother nodded in agreement, "Let's talk to Haitang about her living in school when we get back soon!
You said, if Duan Hongxuan’s parents were still here, I think he would be a good match for our Begonia!
There was something wrong with the way I looked at Haitang and this young man just now. I have to be more careful when I look back!"
"It's okay. Haitang is very smart. She has more ideas than Xiaoli. Later, you can help her prepare the gifts and other things!"
As the couple talked, they turned and entered the yard.
