Li Qingyun didn't have time to watch Chen Guanghui's jokes, so he hid in a place where no one was around, drank two more cups of space spring water essence, and sweated all over his body, which made him feel better.
When he returned to Yang Yunu's house, he saw that his father had sobered up. When he poured tea for him, he added some space spring water essence into it. This made Li Chengwen energetic and busy asking his in-laws to keep the contents of the box.
Seeing that it was getting dark, even if the few people carrying the boxes in Lijiazhai didn't sober up, they were woken up and given a few cups of tea, and they were basically able to leave.
So he carried the half-empty box and, with Yang Yunu's family seeing him off, quickly walked to the entrance of the village. Yang Yunu let out a breath and asked innocently: "I didn't see my mother's lamp, did I?"
It’s all your fault, why did you drink so much?”
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "It's okay, it's all the customs and habits of the past. It doesn't matter if you can't see the lights. Just don't spend the night at your parents' house. No big deal, just close your eyes and walk, I will support you."
"I won't let you help me. There are people watching at the entrance of the village. Don't let others laugh... Hey, what's wrong with Chen Guanghui? Why is he lying on the ground?" Yang Yunu took a closer look and found that there were some people at the entrance of the village. They were not watching.
Instead, she was watching jokes around Chen Guanghui.
Li Qingyun said seriously: "Maybe you drank too much. Young people, if you drink and get into trouble, you have to suffer a few losses before you can remember it for a long time. Look at your husband and me, I never drink too much, only in moderation."
"I'm sorry to say it, but you drank the most at the wine table today. My dad drank too much, and it was you who drank too much." Yang Yunu argued with a smile, and his little hand was held by him. He didn't struggle, but just turned his head.
, don’t look at Li Qingyun.
"My father-in-law is awake and knows that I am very capable, so he also entrusted my sister-in-law to take care of me." Li Qingyun made fun of his father-in-law's drunken talk without shame.
"Go to hell! If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you. Huh, my dad is talking nonsense, and you are talking nonsense too. But because of this, Yudie blackmailed me for three sets of clothes. I guess you should come to the city to buy them tomorrow.
Clothes..." Yang Yunu said angrily.
"Didn't I say there were two sets of clothes when I left? Why did it increase to one set? Hey, they are all members of my family anyway. They can afford as many clothes as they want." Li Qingyun said nonchalantly.
"My brother also wants two sets of clothes..."
"Buy! Let's go to the city together tomorrow and buy whatever you like."
"But our environmental protection company's funds are all used to build buildings. My personal salary has bottomed out. My parents didn't give me much as a dowry. So they gave me an extra 100,000 yuan in cash. Can I spend it? Otherwise, I can't
I really don’t have any extra money to buy them clothes.”
Li Qingyun slapped his head regretfully and shouted: "Oh, it's not me. I'm too busy with weddings these days, so I didn't think about it. I thought there was an environmental protection company here and you were not short of money... I will go to the city tomorrow.
I'll transfer hundreds of thousands to your card, and apply for two high-limit credit cards at the same time. We have a huge family fortune, and we can't let my wife have no money to buy clothes."
Yang Yunu hurriedly explained: "No need, I'm not short of money usually. It's just that everything was rushed together, and I was blackmailed by my younger brother and sister, so I talked about the dowry. The money you gave me is enough, I
You don't have the nerve to ask for it again. Besides, my parents kept most of the million-dollar gift you gave me, and you didn't even blame me."
According to local rules, the money given to the woman as a gift must be returned to the man in the form of dowry when she gets married. However, the money is usually in the hands of the bride. However, if the woman’s family is poor, or she has younger siblings,
A family needs money, and this money is often withheld by the woman. Many family conflicts often stem from this bride price.
Li Qingyun had no intention of getting back the gift that she had given her. When Yang Yunu mentioned it, it seemed that she was burdened and stressed. It was because she had not explained it clearly to her, which made her resentful. In her marriage,
Giving in to yourself everywhere is not a good sign.
We are walking on the road now, and there are many people. It is not convenient to talk to Yang Yunu in detail. He just smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will help you handle this matter. Although our local area is used to men running the house, I will not let it."
You have been wronged, not to mention your pocket money. And that environmental protection company is supposed to give you money to spend. Don't just invest and make yourself so poor."
"I know, I'm not poor, because I have a...good husband." The last few words were spoken by Yang Yunu in Li Qingyun's ear, because there were people carrying boxes in front of her, so she could say
It was obviously a great courage to say these words.
Li Qingyun saw that her naughty look was extremely cute, so he gave her a peck on the face. Yang Yunu was so embarrassed that she immediately jumped away, blushing, and turned to look at the surrounding scenery. The snow had not melted away, and under the setting sun,
In the afterglow, there is a layer of festive blush.
After the old boatman waited for them to board the boat, he started sailing without waiting for the boat to be full. While he was at the helm, he had time to chat: "Fuwa, your father-in-law is so enthusiastic. The four people carrying the boxes were all drunk. I see
If they weren't carrying things, they wouldn't be able to walk by themselves."
"Hey, that's quite enthusiastic. They knocked down four on our side, and we knocked down six or seven on their side." Li Qingyun responded with a smile. According to local custom, the host's enthusiasm can only be shown by drinking down the guests.
.
Yang Yunu was in a good mood. Hearing this, he also smiled and said: "I almost couldn't come back after drinking. If I hadn't come back today, I guess they would have continued drinking at night. Several of my uncles and uncles, before they drank, they shouted that they would continue drinking at night."
Drinking."
The old boatman laughed and said: "That means you really drank too much. Drunk people say they didn't drink too much, but they fell down in an instant. And those who pretended to be drunk often rolled around on the ground and shouted that they had drunk too much.
, as if afraid that others wouldn’t hear.”
"Uncle, I came to see that you are also a wine connoisseur. If you have nothing to do tonight, come to my house for a few drinks. You have been helping me a lot these days for my marriage." Li Qingyun invited with a smile.
"It didn't help much. I just drove more boats. It's not my own oil, old man. I don't feel bad about using it. On the contrary, you gave me a lot of cigarettes, so I accepted your favor in vain, old man." The old boatman laughed.
She declined politely and said she would call a few more times before going back to cook. My wife had been in poor health in the past few days. After drinking the medicine prepared by Grandpa Li Qingyun, although her condition improved, she was still tired and could not work hard.
While they were talking, they had already crossed the river, and Li Qingyun's mother had been waiting by the river. She was probably impatient. If she didn't come back, she would go to Chenjiagou to pick her up.
The few people who were talking to her were all from the aunt's generation, and their husbands were also the ones carrying the boxes. They were also waiting here and talking.
I saw several men who were drunk, and several women said everything. Some smiled and said that they had eaten and drank enough, and they didn't use their energy to lift the box. But some women scolded their husbands, saying that they didn't care about the occasion.
, drank too much and delayed Fuwa's work. There will be times when you will regret it.
Chen Xiuzhi comforted everyone with a smile, saying that it was still early before dark, and it would not be too late to come back in half an hour. Which house would have lights on at this time?
Everyone talked and carried the box to the old house. Some of the remaining items in the box should be given to the people who carried the box. If someone borrowed the box from someone else, when returning it, something should be pressed inside, whether it be a piece of meat, or a piece of meat.
No matter if it is a box of fruit, as long as you have something, it means you know etiquette. If you don't pack anything, people will scold you in the village for several years, saying you are stingy and stingy.
Li Qingyun didn't need to worry about this matter. He returned to the old house and said a few polite words, then returned to the villa with Yang Yunu to prepare for a rest.
When passing by the entrance of the alley, I saw Tongtong crying and running away. Her grandmother was chasing after her with a small stick in her hand, cursing as she chased.
"You damn girl, you didn't learn well at a young age and you ate everything in. I have to beat you to death. Where did you steal the money and mail it to your mother? Did you steal it from my cabinet? Two thousand yuan.
Ah, I’ve paid for two months of your grandfather’s salary. Why don’t you come to celebrate the New Year? Why don’t you have some brains!”
Tongtong's grandmother scolded her very unpleasantly and in a very strong tone. Tongtong ran away while crying. She didn't see her run clearly. Her foot slipped and she fell into a small mud puddle. After her grandmother caught up with her, instead of helping her, she used a stick to help her.
She was spanked several times.
"Wuwu... stop fighting. I didn't steal your money... I earned that money myself... Mom promised me that I would buy the bus ticket as soon as I received the money... Wuwu... Mom will definitely come back to celebrate the New Year.
"..." Tongtong struggled and cried while crawling in the mud puddle.
Tongtong's grandma is Li Qingyun's aunt. Although she is a close relative, she can't stand her behavior.
"Stop! How can you do this to a child so young! Why don't you pull her up from the mud pit?" No matter how fast Li Qingyun was, he didn't stop her. He ran and shouted dozens of meters away.
Yang Yunu also ran behind, persuading in a gentle tone: "Auntie, a child like Tongtong should not steal money. If you have anything to say, please ask and don't hit the child. It's such a cold day to fall into a mud puddle.
She's all wet, help her up quickly, don't make the child sick from the cold."
"This is our family's business. You don't have to worry about it. You don't care about heaven and earth, but you can still control me and teach my granddaughter?" The aunt was very arrogant. She didn't like Li Qingyun. She hated the old man for being partial. How could she have a good tone at this time? She raised her stick and said,
He slapped Tongtong a few more times.
"Uncle, aunt, wuwu... come and save me. I didn't steal grandma's money. That money was the money I earned from selling vegetables and fruits, and the money I spent on the sedan a few days ago..." Tongtong
Crying and not knowing where the strength came from, he got up from the mud pit and ran to Li Qingyun. No matter how much mud was on his body, he huddled behind Li Qingyun's legs, not daring to show his head.
"What's going on? Where's Li Qingmu? Let him come out. Why beat the child like this for this little money?" Li Qingyun felt that when he saw the slap marks on Tongtong's face and his dirty and wet body,
This child is so pitiful, I feel so sorry for him.
The aunt was so angry that she asked for a stick to hit the little girl who was hiding behind Li Qingyun. At the same time, she yelled: "What's going on? Ask this damn girl what good thing she did? If Mu Mu hadn't accidentally checked the text message, wouldn't she have done it?"
I knew this damn girl was giving money to her mother. She didn’t know how to do it, but she actually asked someone from the town savings bank to help her do it. Two thousand yuan,..." (To be continued...)
