"Zhuzi, I haven't been back to my parents' home this year. After the wedding banquet, I want to take the train back to see my parents." Once Chen Yuanyuan got this idea, she couldn't control it anymore.
"Why is it so sudden?" Jiang Lingzhu was stunned for a moment, "I didn't hear you say that you wanted to go back to your parents' house before I left! This is out of season, how can I ask for leave?"
"It's okay, you go to your class, I don't need you to accompany me."
Chen Yuanyuan wished he would not go.
Anyway, you may not come to the door with a gift.
Last year, when a new son-in-law came to visit, her parents slaughtered chickens and ducks to entertain her politely. His family was nice, and they only gave her two bottles of wine and two cigarettes. They were the ordinary tobacco and alcohol that can be found everywhere on Northeast Street, and nothing else.
With a little thought in mind, a sumptuous wedding banquet with good fish and good meat will not taste good in the mouth.
However, her mother-in-law Li Cuifang enjoyed the meal and commented while eating: "These dishes are really good! Even if we have money, we can't buy such fresh ones. Zhuzi, scoop some for your wife, I heard that there are fish and shrimps in the sea."
High protein is good for pregnancy preparation. You two work hard to get pregnant this year, and I can have a fat grandson next year. Have you seen your aunt’s fat grandson? He is really delicate, but my family’s pillar is also tall.
Not bad, my daughter-in-law is a little short, but her facial features are pretty good. I think my fat grandson will also be a handsome baby. Haha!"
After hearing this, Chen Yuanyuan lost her appetite even more and ate every bite.
Mrs. Lu came with her son and daughter-in-law to toast.
"Everyone, feel free to eat, there will be more later. Today there are eighteen kinds of seafood alone. And you should be able to eat it. These seafood are fresh and full, and they are all carefully selected. It is also thanks to our in-laws.
In order to let everyone eat such fresh seafood, we specially drove a fishing boat to send us back and caught the fish along the way."
Li Cuifang's eyes widened in surprise: "What? So much seafood is a gift from your parents? How much is it worth!"
What’s the point of the man serving the drinks and the woman serving the food? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Li Cuifang couldn't figure it out.
Then I thought that such an in-law was really great! Why couldn’t her family meet one?
The two sons were looking for wives. The older one lived in the same village as his own family. He was so poor that he couldn't be generous even if he wanted to. The younger one was even more stingy than his own family. He said he wouldn't go with the dowry.
Looking at the well-behaved Xu Suizhu with a sincere smile next to her sister-in-law, thinking about the dozens of tables of seafood dishes provided by her family, and then glancing at her daughter-in-law who was absentmindedly pulling food from the bowl, Li Cuifang originally thought that she was "married to a technical secondary school assigned by the state."
The satisfaction of "life" is decreasing little by little like an hourglass. Without comparison, there is no harm.
"Eat slowly, there are still plenty of dishes to come." Mrs. Lu greeted them with a smile, and then led the newlyweds to another table for a toast.
After they left, Li Cuifang couldn't help but ask her daughter-in-law: "Isn't Axiao's daughter-in-law's hometown from Zhuzhu's house the same place as yours? Is her family's condition very good? So many seafoods are given away at will? What if I take them to the vegetable market to sell them?"
Oh my god, it’s worth a lot of money!”
Chen Yuanyuan shook her head: "I don't know. Her family's conditions were not good before. Her father went fishing at sea and encountered a typhoon and did not come back. After her mother received the compensation from the fishery, she ran away with a stranger. She is from her aunt's family.
It’s for college. I haven’t been back much in the past few years, so I don’t know for sure.”
In fact, she was quite puzzled: Even if Xu Suizhu's aunt's family contracted the fishery, how could they have so much money to buy a fishing boat on the island? Maybe it was the Lu family's money!
When I think about it, I want to give it a try more and more.
It can be said that that man has always lived in her heart. She thought that she would never meet again in this life, but she didn't expect that they would become a family.
And the opportunity is not bad - now he is divorced, single, and in poor health.
If I had a romantic encounter with him at this time and took good care of him, I think there would still be a chance, right?
The more Chen Yuanyuan thought about it, the more she was ready to make a move.
As soon as the wedding banquet was over, on the pretext of missing her parents' family, no matter how her mother-in-law talked about "burning money" and "wasting the family", she insisted on setting off from Kyoto and returned to Yupu without bringing anything.
Her family members were surprised: "Why did you come back suddenly?"
"I missed you guys so I came back." She said this, but she was thinking about another thing in her heart, "Mom, I heard that Xu Suizhu graduated from university and returned to the town to work as a teacher? And even rented an island?"
"Have you heard about it? Her family has been doing well recently." Speaking of the well-known Lin's Fishing Ground in Fjord Town, Mother Chen couldn't help but feel envious. "When Xu Xiuyuan adopted this niece, we laughed at her behind her back and said she was stupid.
, my own mother ran away with the money, and she, as an aunt, stupidly chipped in and paid for her niece to go to college. Now it seems that we are stupid. Didn't you see how beautiful Xu Suizhu was on the day she got married? The dowry left her doorstep.
It was carried all the way to the intersection of the fishing village, without any space in between, and loaded into two trucks. It is said that the wedding house was bought in the most expensive community in the county, called Phoenix Mansion. The person who gave the dowry came back and said that the environment of that community is good.
It's like a park, and the house is also high-end and elegant. In short, she is marrying the right person! The husband's family clearly has a wedding room in Kyoto, and here is another one."
Looking at her daughter again, Mother Chen let out a long sigh: "Why did you say you were so anxious to find a partner? Are you afraid that we will urge you to come back for a blind date? But look at the result, what kind of in-laws did you choose? You asked for a betrothal gift but didn't get it.
There’s no sign of anything during the New Year holidays.”
Chen Yuanyuan listened impatiently: "Mom, I'm going out for a walk. It's been a long time since I've been here. Has the town changed a lot?"
"No. The building in the center of the town is the staff building of the Institute of Oceanography. If you are not married, my mother will ask someone to take care of it and transfer you to the Institute of Oceanography. You will have a share of such a good staff dormitory building.
.pity"
"Ocean Institute?" Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously, "I haven't heard that there is an Institute of Oceanography in our town before. Is it a new one?"
"The Institute of Oceanography was built on Fuming Island, and the director is Xu Xiuyuan's niece-in-law. Her family is really rich now. They contracted fishing grounds and added new fishing boats, and their business has spread to the provincial capital. Not long ago, there was a TV station
I came here for an interview and said that I wanted to use Lin’s fishing ground to record a program.”
Chen Yuanyuan heard a burst of envy: "Why is Xu Suizhu so lucky!"
"No. If you are not married so far away, ask her to help. Her man is the director of the Institute of Oceanography. As long as the Institute of Oceanography is willing to accept you, it will only take a word to transfer you. Don't look at the fact that the Institute of Oceanography is built on Fuming Island, and the benefits are
Okay, I have nothing to say. Last time your classmate got married, the county magistrate also came and said in front of everyone that the province attaches great importance to the fjord fishing village and wants to develop it into a nationally famous tourist attraction.
Developed!”
"Is Po Fishing Village going to be developed into a tourist attraction?" Chen Yuanyuan has been out for so many years and has been to many tourist attractions. Naturally, she knows the importance of tourist attractions to the local area, which is the cornucopia of money trees.
