Chapter 200 The new clothes given to the deaf old lady actually made Qin Huairu sad
On the first day of school, Duan Hongxuan’s self-introduction, coupled with counselor Zhou Hanyang’s follow-up, made the whole class laugh.
Duan Hongxuan was also surprised. He thought this counselor was a bit interesting. He could even joke with his classmates. He was not as serious as the teachers of this era, who were full of ideological education and learning.
Next, students came up one after another to introduce themselves.
Duan Hongxuan was constantly harassed by several people in the dormitory, who all said that Duan Hongxuan's introduction just now was very unsatisfactory, especially Sun Youbin, Yang Shijie and Liang Yingchun. They shouted that they couldn't see Duan Hongxuan's proud face and wanted to go back to the dormitory.
Criticize Duan Hongxuan.
As a result, the three of them were quickly suppressed by Duan Hongxuan.
After introducing myself, the next step is to elect various class cadres such as the squad leader, and then distribute the curriculum to everyone. The squad leader will organize the collection of teaching materials, and the life committee will organize the collection and distribution of meal tickets. I have been busy with these trivial things all morning
It passed slowly.
During this period, many classmates came to get to know Duan Hongxuan. They talked and laughed about taking good care of the youngest brother in the class. Duan Hongxuan also got to know many classmates.
There are no classes in the afternoon, so we will set aside time for everyone to sort out their housework as soon as possible and become familiar with the campus environment.
Official classes will start tomorrow.
Duan Hongxuan went to the school cafeteria with his dormitory friends for lunch at noon. After returning to the dormitory, he packed up his books and other materials. After everyone talked for a while, he said goodbye and went home.
When I got home, the courtyard was even more lively, with laughter and laughter everywhere.
Cotton is still being played in the front yard, and two mats are spread on the ground in the backyard. The aunt and the others have already begun to sew quilts.
Newly spun cotton cores, each with new cotton added, increased to seven pounds.
A group of women were sewing new fluffy quilts and laughing happily.
When they saw Duan Hongxuan coming back, they all gratefully greeted him warmly.
The deaf old lady asked casually: "Hongxuan, why are you back so early? No classes in the afternoon?"
Duan Hongxuan told the deaf old lady that classes would not start until tomorrow. He went to school to handle some chores this morning and came back when everything was fine in the afternoon.
Seeing that He Yuyu and Yu Li were also learning to sew quilts, Duan Hongxuan suddenly became curious, so he asked: "Sister-in-law Yu Li, where did you sleep last night?"
As soon as Duan Hongxuan finished speaking, the backyard that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet.
Yu Li didn't understand the meaning at first. She raised her head in surprise and answered Duan Hongxuan: "I went home and slept last night. What happened?"
"I mean, which home did you go back to yesterday?"
"Of course it's my home..."
Halfway through her words, Yu Li finally understood what Duan Hongxuan was asking. Her face suddenly turned red. She pointed at Duan Hongxuan in embarrassment and said, "Hongxuan, you...!"
Seeing the weird looks from the people around her, Yu Li finally couldn't stand it anymore. She got up with a red face and ran into He Yuyu's house, with a burst of laughter coming from behind.
He Yuyu scolded: "Brother Hongxuan, how can anyone be like you?
Sister-in-law Yu Li and my brother haven’t arranged a banquet yet, how can we live together?
That’s good now, you made Sister-in-law Yu Li angry! Humph!”
He Yuyu likes Yu Li very much. They visited the department store together in the morning, and the relationship between the two got closer. Now that He Yuyu has a very good relationship with her sister-in-law, she naturally doesn't want others to bully Yu Li, even if this person is Duan Hongxuan.
.
Duan Hongxuan scratched his head innocently, "I was really curious, so I asked casually!
Besides, sister-in-law Yu Li and your brother have already obtained their marriage certificates, so they are already a legal couple. There is nothing strange about living together, and others can't say anything.
But that's right, after all, the banquet hasn't been held yet, and your brother hasn't officially welcomed his new wife in.
But I really didn’t mean it, I just asked out of curiosity!
I’ll apologize to Sister-in-law Yu Li later!”
"Humph! That's pretty much it." After hearing Duan Hongxuan's explanation, He Yuyu temporarily forgave him.
Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Hongxuan may really not understand this.
The two of them received their marriage certificate, which means they are officially a legal couple.
But we ordinary people, what we recognize more is the ceremony of marrying a new daughter-in-law and having a banquet.
In our countryside, as long as many people hold this ceremony, even if they don't get a marriage certificate, everyone will recognize them as an official couple.
If a man dares to find another woman at this time, he will be beaten.
But if you only get a marriage certificate and don’t go to welcome your new wife or hold a banquet, then others may not necessarily recognize you as a couple!”
After listening to Qin Huairu's words, the aunt added: "Qin Huairu is right.
Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city now, this ceremony is more important than the marriage certificate."
Aunt Wu and Aunt Han also nodded in agreement.
Sister-in-law Wu, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, smiled and said: "The Hongxuan family are college students in the new era and respect the government's laws more.
Hongxuan is right. Legally speaking, Zhuzi and Yu Li are already husband and wife. In fact, it doesn't matter if they really live together.
It's just that Yu Li is thin-skinned, and when Hongxuan asked her in front of so many people, she couldn't help it.
Geez, Hongxuan, you started bullying Zhuzhu’s wife before she even walked in. You’re really good at it!”
Duan Hongxuan felt that he was wronged because he really didn't know about it.
"Sister-in-law Wu, I was really wronged this time, I really didn't mean it!
I just thought that if I got my marriage certificate, we would be a couple.
Since we are a couple, it is natural that they should live in the same house, so I just asked casually."
The deaf old lady said with a smile: "Well, Hongxuan is right, even if Yu Li really lived with Zhuzi yesterday, others can't say anything.
Rainwater, go take a look and explain it to Yu Li.
Tell her not to stay in the house, there is nothing to be ashamed of, no one in this courtyard will laugh at her."
He Yuyu responded and ran into her own room.
Duan Hongxuan suddenly remembered that he bought two pairs of clothes for the deaf old lady yesterday. However, there were so many people yesterday and there was so much noise that he forgot about it.
Duan Hongxuan quickly turned around and entered his own house, and quickly came out with a bag.
"Grandma, look at me, I actually forgot about this because of all the fuss yesterday.
I saw that the weather was getting colder and the rain had been getting heavier recently, so I thought about adding two thicker clothes for the rain.
When I went shopping for clothes yesterday morning, I also bought two pieces for you. I forgot about it when I was busy yesterday.
I won’t choose, you can see if you like it!”
Then he handed the bag in his hand to the deaf old lady.
The deaf old lady was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled: "You are really my good grandson, but why are you spending this money!
I still have clothes at home, and my old wife is half buried, so why should I buy new clothes!
Don’t spend this wasted money again!”
The deaf old lady said not to waste money on her, but her hands were not slow at all and she quickly took the bag of clothes.
Aunt Wu and the others looked at the deaf old lady with envy, "Old lady, you are so lucky to have such a filial grandson like Hongxuan.
Quickly take out your clothes and let everyone take a look!"
"Old lady, let me help you get it!" Qin Huairu was also full of envy and stepped forward to help the deaf old lady.
The bag contained two pairs of clothes. There were only so many kinds of fabrics in this era, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. They were either blue, gray, or black.
The styles are nothing new, they are basically the same.
Qin Huairu took out the clothes and took a look, "Oh! Look, old lady, there are clothes and trousers, but there are two sets."
He said and handed it to the deaf old lady to read.
The deaf old lady touched her brand new clothes and happily showed her gapped teeth.
Aunt Wu and the others couldn't help but admire them, taking turns taking the new clothes and trousers in their hands and touching them.
While watching, he kept praising the deaf old lady for her good fortune and Duan Hongxuan for his filial piety.
Duan Hongxuan couldn't bear it and quickly changed the subject: "Auntie, these clothes and pants are all newly bought. Please help me wash them.
Go through the water first and then put it on the old lady."
"Okay, I'll take care of it.
I'll wash it right now. It's convenient to wash clothes in your yard. Once washed, I'll dry them here.
Old lady, look at how beautiful you are.
Don't look at it. I'll confiscate it first. I'll wash it for you and let it dry before you look at it slowly." The aunt joked and confiscated the old deaf lady's new clothes.
The deaf old lady was happy: "You girl, how dare you make fun of my old lady! Haha!"
"Grandma, how do you like these new clothes?"
"Okay, my old lady is very satisfied!
But don’t spend money carelessly in the future.
If you have this money, you might as well save it so that you can marry a wife in the future.
Don’t be like a pillar. When you are about to get married, you realize that you have no money saved and you have to borrow it from you!”
Duan Hongxuan was speechless, "Grandma, it will take at least four years before I get a wife. It's still early.
Besides, how can I say spending money on you is random money!
Now is a new country, a new society, a new era, and I have some abilities. You are already this age, so why not hurry up and enjoy it!
We juniors still have a long time to live, so let’s not be too busy enjoying it!”
"Listen, Hongxuan is very good at talking. How nice is this!
Old lady, you have two capable grandsons, Hongxuan and Zhuzi, so just enjoy them as soon as possible.
Whatever the children honor you, you can do it happily. Don't talk about these things anymore.
We are so envious. Even if we want to enjoy it, we don’t have the conditions!" Aunt Wu sighed.
"That's right, old lady, you are just a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is!
It’s rare for children to show filial piety to you, so just enjoy it secretly!” Aunt Han also echoed.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!" The old deaf lady was so happy that she never closed her mouth.
"Aunt Wu, Aunt Han, you two don't envy the old lady.
Which of your sons and daughters-in-law is unfilial?
I don’t know how many people in the courtyard still envy you two!
You two aunts, you are also looking at the height of this mountain!"
"Haha, my dear grandson is right, you two should stop talking about my old woman here.
You are also dissatisfied.
Just because your children are filial, why can’t my old lady have a filial grandson?
I can still enjoy a few days of happiness, but you are waiting for your children and grandchildren to grow up, and the days of happiness are still to come!"
"Haha!" The two aunts were also happy in their hearts, but they refused to admit it.
Aunt Han said: "Our child is filial and sensible, but he has this kind of heart, but he doesn't have the strength!
Unlike you, old lady, these two step-grandsons are more capable than the other. There is no way we can compare!"
"That's right!" Aunt Wu nodded in agreement.
Qin Huairu couldn't listen anymore, "Old lady, two aunts, you are just showing off in front of me!
The old lady has two filial and capable grandsons, and the two aunts have filial sons and daughters-in-law.
You who compete with each other are all blessed.
It's not like me who has such a miserable life. I lost my man early and had such a mother-in-law. Now my only son is being taught astray by her mother-in-law.
I’m the one who really should be jealous!”
Duan Hongxuan saw that Qin Huairu was in a bad mood and quickly spoke to comfort him: "Sister Qin, don't you still have a small job?
Xiaodang is so sensible now! I will have to respect you in the future!
There is another child in my belly. If this one is born and given a good education, it won’t be much different!
I have said before that boys and girls are the same. In fact, girls are more considerate and can support a family!
In the worst case scenario, if we just pretend that we don’t have a son like Bangge, what can we do?
Don’t you still have two children, Xiaodang and you? Look at Xiaodang now. Sister Qin, do you dare to say that you won’t be able to enjoy happiness in the future?
Making a new quilt today is a happy thing in itself, so don’t think about the unpleasant things!"
"Girl Qin, you are so happy right now, please stop thinking so wildly.
Now take care of your own health and give birth to the child safely. Hongxuan will give you advice, my wife will support you, and there are three aunts here!
Now that you have taken over and have a job, you and your children have registered as household registrations, we can’t let your mother-in-law keep harming you in front of you!
Once you have arranged your mother-in-law's arrangements, and there are big guys to help her, you won't have to work so hard!
You are still young, maybe as Hongxuan said, you will be able to find a good family again one day!"
Qin Huairu felt quite comforted by what the deaf old lady said before, but the last words made her extremely embarrassed.
"Old lady, what are you talking about!
I can educate a few children well with everyone's help, and let them grow up safely, and each of them can make a difference, then I will be satisfied!
I have never thought about finding anything to do with other people!
You are the ancestor of our courtyard, so don’t follow your precious grandson Hongxuan and learn to say nonsense!”
The deaf old lady became serious now: "I'm not kidding, what I said is serious.
You are young, do you think it is easy to be a widow?
This is not the old society. Nowadays, women are unhappy and can file for divorce from men. What’s wrong with widows remarrying? The government still promotes it!
If you can find a good family and remarry, no one will laugh at you!"
"Come on, old lady, let's not talk about this anymore." Qin Huairu quickly stopped the deaf old lady from continuing.
"Let's continue the topic just before Hongxuan came back!
Hongxuan, we were just talking about Zhuzi marrying Yu Li. Yesterday, everyone in the courtyard knew about it.
Aunt Han said that last night, the third uncle’s house was very lively. The third uncle and Yan Jiecheng’s quarrel could be heard in the entire front yard!
I guess the third uncle will have to come and question you later!"
