Xiaoling murmured in her heart that he wanted to live in the city and the house at home was not enough.
Zhang Jinfang glared at her, signaled her not to mutter, and whispered: "I just drank some wine and talked while drinking."
Wen Ye said to Wen Laowu: "Dad, you are drunk, don't say so much."
Wen Laowu said: "How could I be drunk? I just want you to have the wedding ceremony as soon as possible."
When he mentioned this, he murmured, "Well, drinking wedding wine would be more enjoyable."
Wen Ye said: "Dad, I have agreed with Erlong that we will wait half a year and wait until we finish the college entrance examination."
She glanced at Xu Erlong shyly, fearing that he would object, showing how much she was looking forward to getting married.
Xu Erlong smiled and said: "Well, that's what we agreed. The college entrance examination will be in a few months. Let's go all out to take the college entrance examination. With Wen Ye's talent, it won't be a problem to get into college."
Wen Laowu muttered: "What are you doing reading so many books? Anyway, when the time comes, you will still have to get married and have children. No matter how many books you read, it will be useless."
This is the concept of their generation. Girls, no matter how many books they read, it is useless.
This was one of the reasons why Wen Ye did not continue studying in the past.
Xu Erlong smiled and said: "It's good to study. When it comes to having a college student in your family, who doesn't envy him. When Wen Ye is admitted to college, you go out and have a stronger waist than everyone else."
This poked a hole in Wen Laowu's face-saving weakness.
Yes, why didn't he think about this before?
Alas, it's just Li Shuhua's fault for blowing pillow wind into her ears every day, telling Wen Ye to be like her mother, and telling Wen Ye not to do anything embarrassing.
As a result, he felt like his eyes were blinded by shit, and he couldn't stand Wen Ye.
Now, without that old woman blowing pillow wind in his ears, and with Xu Erlong's mention, Wen Laowu felt that only if his daughter has potential, he would have face.
Xu Erlong added: "When Wen Ye is admitted to university, it will be considered a blessing. When the time comes, we get married again, which will be considered a double blessing. Looking at the whole county, how many people can do it?"
Wen Laowu was happy after hearing this.
If I get admitted to college, does it count as the number one scholar in high school in ancient times?
Why don't you drink a cup of Zhuangyuanhong?
Also, when my daughter gets married, I have to drink another glass of daughter’s wine.
Well, drink a double portion.
"Okay, let's wait until you get married after the college entrance examination." Wen Laowu made the decision.
After paying New Year's greetings at Wen Ye's house, Xu Erlong, Zhang Jinfang, mother and son returned home.
At the street entrance, I met an old woman and said hello to several people: "Are you back from visiting relatives?"
Xu Erlong remembered that this should be a person from their street. He would bump into him when he came in and out, and he looked familiar.
In line with the mentality of businessmen and being friendly to others, Xu Erlong and others also greeted each other with Chinese-style greetings: "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten," the old woman replied.
Xu Erlong and others didn't take it seriously. This is how ordinary neighbors get along with each other.
After saying hello, Xu Erlong and others walked home.
Zhang Jinfang went home and inspected his briquette stove.
She hadn't been at home all day, and she was worried that the coal stove had caught fire and died.
Fortunately, she sealed the fire well. Before leaving, she added another briquette on top and the fire did not go out.
Pour hot water from the aluminum kettle on the stove and invite everyone to wash their faces.
"It's better to be at home." Xiaoling sighed.
You are very comfortable in your own home, but when you go to someone else's home as a guest, you always have to pay attention to everything, which is very awkward.
Xu Erlong washed his face with hot water and felt much better.
Just when I was thinking about getting something to eat, I heard someone talking.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on getting rich." Two children of several years old stood at the door and kept bowing to him.
During the Chinese New Year, people would come to the house to ask for a favor, and Xu Erlong was not stingy, giving each child a dime to pass on.
The two children happily took the money and ran away.
Xu Xiaoling is envious.
"Brother, if only I were younger, I would go to other people's houses to say auspicious words and ask for money." Xiaoling said.
"Well, you can go now." Xu Erlong smiled.
From now on, when online live broadcasts are launched, won’t everyone on the Internet, old and young, begging for money?
"I'm not going, I'm so embarrassed." Xiaoling knew that Xu Erlong was teasing her, so she replied: "I knew that your sister-in-law was not here and you were bored, so you came to tease me."
Xu Erlong coughed seriously: "No, I am cultivating a brother-sister relationship with you now."
Xu Xiaoling: "I believe you are a ghost."

Xu Erlong was visiting New Year's greetings everywhere, and it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
"BBK" leather shoe store is open for business again.
His leather shoe store can take a few days off, but this is also caused by the general environment.
This year, the spirit of the New Year is strong. During the first month of the year, everyone has to visit relatives and friends. No one will go out shopping on the first day of the new year.
For example, on New Year's Day, you can't sweep the floor or take out the trash, just for fear of sweeping away your wealth.
In the consciousness of the older generation, buying things on this first day of the new year means taking out money, and you will be hungry and poor at the end of the year.
Therefore, I will buy the things I need to buy before the New Year. In the past few days after the New Year, I will not spend money on buying anything for the sake of good luck.
Xu Erlong happily gave everyone a holiday and did not open for business until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
This can be considered positive.
Many businessmen only open their doors for business on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
If you don't go out on the seventh day, you won't come back on the eighth day. On the ninth day, you go out and dig up piles.
As usual, Xu Erlong fired a long string of firecrackers at the door of the store and opened the door.
According to the previously allocated manpower, they were asked to continue to stay at the store, and Xu Erlong went home to read by himself.
He knew that what was coming next would be the legendary light February.
In February, the prosperity of all walks of life was relatively weak.
Probably, people spent too much before the New Year and bought everything they should buy. After the New Year, they will be short of money and fewer people will buy things.
His leather shoe store will gradually change from the previous boom to the off-season.
He was anxious and wanted to wait for Li Yongnian to reply to him and see if the warehouse matter was on the agenda.

Xu Damin packed his luggage. This time, he really wanted to leave.
He spent a miserable year at home, and he couldn't tell the story of his suffering.
This kind of frustration can't even be told to others.
He didn't even go to Zhou Ya.
In the past, if he had any troubles, he would go to Zhou Ya.
But this time, he didn't go.
And Zhou Ya didn't come to look for him.
Xu Damin had already vaguely guessed that Zhou Ya's family also knew that he was a little bastard, and Zhou Ya didn't come to see him in order to avoid suspicion.
Never mind her.
Xu Damin even thought to himself that it would be best for Zhou Ya not to come to him in the future. He would hide back to school by himself without knowing anyone around him, so that no one would know that he was an illegitimate child.
"Damin, now that you're gone, you should write more letters to home." Mrs. Xu warned.
