"Anyway, I'm fine if I'm going home. I'll stay here for a while and you guys will talk to you."
Ah Hu patted his shoulder and said, "We brothers have a good drink! I have time tonight, let's have beer!"
"Okay!" Chen Min laughed happily.
Ahu's mother curled her lips and muttered: "The two old men have no wife to accompany each other, so they can only be with each other! Disgrace! Look at Ayuan, she is about to become a father! You are both older than him, but you don't even have a wife!
”
Chen Min smiled embarrassedly, "Aunt... I can't be anxious either."
Ah Hu shrank his head and said, "Aren't I searching for it? But I can't find it yet. I'm not so bad!"
"It's useless!" Ahu's mother greeted Xue Ling to eat pancakes and asked happily: "Sister-in-law, do you have any friends and classmates? You don't have to be too beautiful, and you don't have to be difficult to do. Just be ordinary, and you can be down-to-earth.
OK. Please introduce it to us Ahu and Amin!”
Xue Ling was stunned and turned to laugh.
"Not yet, my friends and classmates are all in the north, mainly in the imperial capital, and they are too far away. Most of the colleagues at the newspaper office are already married, and there is really no suitable one."
Ah Hu's mother shook her head and sighed: "Oh... why is it so difficult to find a good daughter-in-law!"
Chen Min and Ah Hu caught a beer each and ran away.
When Cheng Tianyuan heard her talk about the newspaper, he couldn't help asking: "Wife, you haven't been to the newspaper very much recently, right? By the way, how are Liu Xing and that Wang Qing? Are you married?"
Xue Ling replied: "I went to the newspaper last week and handed over a small column for eight weeks, hoping to cope with my confinement. Liu Xing said that it was until the end of the year, and Wang Qing's mother should have some small requirements, so
The marriage is temporarily scheduled to end the year.”
Cheng Tianyuan asked curiously: "Small requirements? What are the requirements?"
Xue Ling replied: "Wang Qing's mother asked him to buy a new house at first, but she refused to marry him if she didn't have a new house. Liu Xing finally raised money and wanted to buy a small condom, but her mother said it was not enough, so he had to find a way to change it to a medium condom.
.”
She didn't say in detail that she helped Liu Xing buy the house and allowed him to pay 100 yuan a month to slowly pay the balance.
"Liu Xing later tried hard to buy a medium trap, but unfortunately Wang Qing's mother disliked the bride price he gave was too low and said she wanted 480 yuan to make up a better number. Liu Xing didn't have enough money around him, so she could only slow down
Save, so the wedding date is scheduled to be at the end of the year.”
Ahu's mother couldn't help but murmured: "This mother-in-law is so amazing! Is her daughter that good?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and replied: "It should be considered good. He looks good and looks good. He is mainly because he is educated and has a stable job in the newspaper. When his daughter is raised and married, his mother-in-law still can't bear to give up, so he has to make more requirements.
, I'll mess with my son-in-law."
Ahu's mother nodded and said, "Then this is not an exaggeration. It is not easy for them to raise a good daughter. They still have a stable job. It is time to test their son-in-law."
Liu Ying couldn't help but secretly look at Xue Ling, and felt relieved.
Ling Ling is also a scholar, and his conditions are very good, even better than Wang Qing.
Fortunately, the Xue family’s mother and the in-laws were both good people. When she heard that she wanted to marry Lingling to celebrate, she agreed without saying a word.
The dowry was just a little bit, there was nothing else, and the person came hurriedly married.
In comparison, their family is much luckier.
If you meet a mother like "Wang Qing", then with the conditions of their family at that time, they would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law at all.
Without comparison, there would be no such sigh.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying became more and more in love with his daughter-in-law.
After packing up the things, closing the doors and windows, everyone was about to return to "Wangjiangyuan".
The sky was already a little dark, and the wind was strong by the river, whizzing.
Suddenly, someone shouted outside the store: "Xue Ling! Xue Ling!"
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling were stunned and hurriedly walked out.
——It’s Liu Xing!
Liu Xing was holding a bicycle, wearing a white shirt and military pants, and wearing a pair of rubber shoes on his feet. He stood in front of the store cleanly.
"When you passed by last week, the mooncakes ordered by Director Liu had not been delivered yet. Today, the newspaper sent everyone the mooncakes, two boxes per person, and eight big oranges. I'll collect them for you. It's a bit late to get off work, so I'll send them here.
It's a little late."
Xue Ling walked down with her big belly and smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Liu Xing raised his chin and said, "What are you polite to me? Wouldn't you just step on a little longer? Come on, get it for your lover, it's still a bit heavy."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly took the opportunity to thank him.
Xue Ling asked: "You haven't had dinner yet?"
Liu Xing shook his head, "It's okay, I'll go back and eat again. The newspaper will be on holiday tomorrow, and it's a bit late to get the manuscript today."
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly said, "There are pancakes in the kitchen. If you don't mind, sit down and eat a little and chat with Ling Ling. I have to clean up and plan to close the store."
Liu Xing laughed, "Then-then I'm not polite."
Cheng Tianyuan warmly greeted him to sit down, brought two big pancakes, then went to the back to get two bottles of beer, and opened a bottle.
In order to get married, Liu Xing usually cuts his clothes and diets, and he is happy to see beer drinking.
"Ling, Brother Cheng's people are so good!"
Xue Ling smiled and stroked his sharp belly, raising his eyebrows proudly: "No, why should I do something, come all the way to marry him!"
Liu Xing laughed and gnawed the pancakes.
"Delicious! It's delicious!"
He took a sip of the beer, and laughed happily.
“It feels like to celebrate the festival tonight!”
Xue Ling looked at his slightly thin and handsome face and couldn't help but whisper: "Don't save too much... I don't worry about my money. You will pay it back. I think you seem to have lost weight again."
Liu Xing was stunned and turned to laugh.
"Thank you for your concern! You are not in a hurry and I will pay it back, but I have to worry myself! I will pay it back for 200 yuan a month, save 100 yuan to pay you, save 50 yuan as a bride price, and give some to my parents for the family. My dad
I retired and don’t get much money, so I have to help with some household expenses. If I don’t save money, how can I save money!”
Xue Ling tsk twice, broke an orange and ate slowly.
"We are friends, I have to advise you. When you are so poor that you have no way out, you can only save as much as you can. But if you really have to have money, you don't have to save, but you have to make money."
Liu Xing curled his lips: "I have a job! I'm not a lazy guy."
"Wrong." Xue Ling said: "I didn't ask you to resign, but I suggest you work part-time."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and turned his eyes, asking, "What part-time job? What do you do? I'm in a hurry to ask for money! Ling, do you have a way, right? Teach me quickly!"
"No hurry." Xue Ling asked while eating peanuts: "Besides you know how to write articles and interviews, what else are you good at? You are so thin that you can't pick your shoulders and carry your back. You have to have a part-time job.
It’s better to have special skills.”
Liu Xing was so disgusted that he looked dirt-like and smiled bitterly: "I can write articles, take photos, and other things - nothing is enough!"
Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the newspaper photos that Liu Xing had taken before.
"You're good at taking pictures! Have you learned it?"
Liu Xing replied: "I learned it when I was studying in the provincial capital, and later I saved money and bought a Phoenix brand camera. However, the film was too expensive, and no matter how much I liked it, I could only take a few photos secretly. I helped the newspaper office take a lot of photos.
, because it can be reimbursed."
Xue Ling said "Oh!" and said, "Then you might as well open a photo shop!"
Liu Xing was dumbfounded and turned to take a sip of beer.
"I want to have the money to open a photo studio, so how can I owe you a lot of money!"
