After Zhao Yulian left, the two brothers were called by the whole garden to go skating on the reed pond. The young couple who had just driven on the road were alone, getting tired of it again and again, and it was inevitable that the gun would go off. It was just a last resort, but Huo Minglou held it back.

"Take another day off, otherwise you will get injured..."

"..."

Well, her Mr. Huo is so gentle and considerate, even if the arrow is on the string, he can restrain it for the sake of her body.

After calming down for a while, Huo Minglou's breathing eased up. He put his hand around her waist, rubbed her ears and temples, and asked by the way, "Is there any trouble that my second aunt has come to see you for? Do you need my help?" "

It’s not a secret to pull the red string, Song Hongguo said it, and finally asked, “Do you think it’s suitable for me to be this matchmaker?”

Huo Minglou said, "Second aunt is an elder and has always been very protective of you. Although I don't have much contact with her, I can tell that she is not a vain person or someone who likes to take advantage. On the contrary, she has a strong temper. Let She took the initiative to say those words, which was tantamount to taking off her face. This is motherly love. She knows that it is not very appropriate, but she still wants to give it a try for the sake of her children..."

Song Hongguo nodded and said "Yes".

Huo Minglou continued, "So, now that she has spoken, you have no choice but to comply. Otherwise, the little friendship we got along with before will probably lead to resentment. After all, no matter how reasonable a person is, it is impossible not to mind it. Although , What she did was a bit inappropriate, but I can understand it.”

"You won't be angry, will you?"

"No, it's human nature and the heart of a mother. We as juniors should be more considerate. Furthermore, what she asked for was not too excessive. She only said that she would find a worker from the factory who can eat and supply food. She didn't If she mentions other conditions, it shows that she is aware of it and does not want to embarrass you. "

Song Hongguo sighed, "Yeah, so I really couldn't refuse at the time. I could only accept it first and then ask around to see if there was anything suitable. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, I still gave my best."

Huo Minglou gently stroked her back and comforted her, "Don't worry, there must be people like this in the factory. When you get to work, I'll help you ask. Don't think too much. I didn't sleep well last night. If you don't sleep well last night, I'll help you." Get some sleep.”

Song Hongguo snuggled into his arms, closed her eyes and responded, then fell asleep in a daze.

She slept a lot in the afternoon, but who would have thought that she would be energetic at night. Huo Minglou cared about her body and did not dare to be too aggressive. She insisted on taking a shower at night, but Song Hongguo pulled her back to the kang in distress.

He already had a wife, how could he be subjected to such injustice again? He cherished her, and she felt sorry for him.

Not only does he think about this young couple who are just into porn, but she also misses him.

So that night, I hit the road again and practiced driving for a while. I was no longer in a hurry at the beginning and finally got better.

The next day, as expected, Song Hongguo woke up late again. Fortunately, she was better than yesterday. It was just eight o'clock when she opened her eyes.

She opened the curtains, and the sky was bright and bright outside, even a little blinding. She sat up and walked into the yard, only to realize that it was snowing again.

The system came out and said sourly, "Sleeping in late every day is really a good thing. There are no rules set by the parents-in-law. Otherwise, with your behavior like this, you are not allowed to make people laugh and be arrogant?"

Song Hongguo put on her clothes slowly, ignoring its sour words. Her body was obviously much better today than yesterday. The pain and tearing in her body were gone. Well, she would definitely become more and more harmonious in the future.

The system continued to babble, "What does it say in the ancient poem? The golden steps on the temples are swaying, and the hibiscus tent is warm to spend the spring night. The spring night is short and the sun is rising. From now on, the king will not go to court early. Well, the king will get up early to work, cook, and accompany you. My child, it’s better for you to just let go and not care about anything. Do you think you are the wife of a man? Even if the male god is easy to bully, aren’t you afraid of what the two brothers will think?”

Song Hongguo got off the kang and said angrily, "What does it have to do with you?"

System was so choked that he almost lost his breath, and his voice trembled, "Who am I doing this for?"

Song Hongguo chuckled, "Just for your own peace of mind."

He just vented his trashy emotions on her, and maybe even wanted to woo her, but unfortunately, could she fall into that trap?
The system shouted angrily, "I didn't. I did it for your own good. I was afraid that you would be arrogant because of your favor, which would displease your male god and make your children have objections to you. Now that we are in a good relationship, we can say anything, but what about in the future?" Feelings are like deposits in a bank, use a little, use a little less..."

"So? I can't sleep in. I have to be a good wife and mother and get up early to serve them, right?"

"Yeah, that's not the case. I'm just reminding you that everything must have a certain limit. If you exceed that limit, you will cause trouble to others. I am really doing it for your own good..."

Song Hongguo was noncommittal and didn't bother to argue with it anymore. Anyway, she just had a scale in her mind.

She packed up neatly, and as soon as she went out, she saw the two men rescuing vegetables in the yard. The shelf had collapsed a little. They were pulling the snow aside and repairing the shelf again. There were holes in the straw curtain that needed to be repaired. Otherwise, it will be too cold at night, and no matter how cold-resistant those vegetables are, they will not be able to withstand the ravages of minus ten degrees Celsius.

"Mom, are you awake?" Ling Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he ran towards her without thinking.

Song Hongguo smiled and knelt down to catch him and touched his face. It felt a little cold, "Is it cold?"

Ling Yuan shook his head, "You're wearing a hat, scarf, and gloves. It's not cold at all. Mom, why are you up late again? Uncle Huo said, you're not feeling well. Do you want to take medicine?"

Facing his worried eyes, Song Hongguo felt embarrassed, and said with a serious face, "No need to take medicine, it will be over in two days."

"Really?"

"Of course, it will be fine tomorrow."

I have to go to work tomorrow, so naturally I won’t be able to sleep in, and I don’t dare to mess around like that anymore at night.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and looked at Huo Minglou. He slept later than she did and put in more effort. Why did he look so energetic and not affected at all?
Their eyes were locked, their minds were connected, Huo Minglou understood the dissatisfaction and depression in her eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and said meaningfully, "Your health is not good because you lack exercise. Exercise more in the future, and you will adapt. Your physical fitness will also be enhanced, and you will not get sick easily."

Song Hongguo, "..."

Married men are really different, look at how boring they are.

Ling Yuan hurriedly agreed, "Uncle Huo is right, Mom, you need to exercise more in the future. Our teacher also said that only by exercising well can you contribute more to the construction of socialism."

Song Hongguo forced a smile and said, "Okay, mom will exercise more in the future."

"Um……"

Ling Zhi said, "Mom, you go to eat first. We can just do this work with Uncle Huo. You don't need to get involved."

Huo Minglou said, "Yes, lesbians should try not to touch cold things. It's very bad for the body."

Song Hongguo, "..."

Mr. Huo knows quite a lot.

The men and children urged her, and Song Hongguo naturally wanted to accept this kindness. She turned around and went to the main room to eat. The food was placed on the fireplace table. The millet and red date porridge was still hot, and the cabbage batter looked good. There were two more The plate of pickles left just enough for her to eat.

She sat leisurely on the sofa, eating slowly and thinking about what to arrange later. The system reminds, "Is it time to come back today?"

Song Hongguo said lightly "Yeah".

"Then are you ready? Are you going to your second aunt's house or your uncle's house?"

"We are all going, but we should have dinner at my uncle's house. I prepared two gifts before."

"Oh, that's all right..."

One person and one person talked harmoniously, as if the previous disputes and conflicts had never happened.

At ten o'clock, the family of four went out with the gifts. They lived in the same production team, just a few steps away. It was very painful to sit there and chat when they got there early, and it also delayed other people's work.

During this time, all the reeds in the reed pond have been harvested. Everyone in the village is busy weaving various things. The most common ones are mats and curtains. Those with more sophisticated skills can also weave frames and baskets. Work points can be exchanged, so men, women, old and young can work together, and there will be no idlers in every household.

Sure enough, when they arrived, Zhao Baoqing and his family were all busy. When they saw them, they put down their work, made tea and water, and entertained people warmly. Smoke began to rise in the kitchen, which was preparing for lunch. Meals.

When a married daughter returns home, her parents' family will arrange a banquet to entertain her son-in-law. You can't do anything about it yet. Try to bring over whatever delicious food you can find. This is to make a face for your daughter.

Song Hongguo smelled the aroma of stewed chicken, and was glad that the gifts she had prepared were quite generous, including tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, and they were all of good quality. Otherwise, the Zhao family would have killed their own chickens to support her.

Huo Minglou was the new son-in-law, and Zhao Baoqing personally accompanied him to talk. Song Hongguo told Zhao Zhenhua about killing the New Year pig.

Zhao Zhenhua grabbed a handful of melon seeds and discussed with her while cracking them, "Tomorrow my father plans to organize a manpower trip to the mountains to try his luck. If he can hunt a decent one, he won't be in a hurry to kill the New Year Pig. Otherwise, it will be in vain. Then we can’t wait for a few more days. After Laba, it will be thirty in a blink of an eye. Although every family is too poor to eat now, no matter how poor they are, they still have to buy something decent to reward themselves during the New Year. Everyone is looking forward to killing The New Year Pig is getting some meat to eat..."

"Ah? It's snowed just now. Is it still possible to go into the mountains?"

"It's no big deal. If you don't go deep, just try your luck on the outside. Wild boars don't dare to think about it. There are rabbits and pheasants who can also play tooth festivals."

"Okay, do you still need to be drugged?"

"Yes, yes, be prepared."

"How many pigs are left in our breeding team?"

"I just kept one end, and the others were handed over to the purchasing station. The one I kept is the fattest one, but it's still far behind the one you raised. The one you raised is the fattest one. I I estimate that if I kill him, the fat will be as thick as two fingers..."

Song Hongguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave some extra for you when the time comes. I'll pick out the fat ones. If there's too much suet, we'll share it among the three families."

Zhao Zhenhua was overjoyed when he heard this, "Really? Are you willing to give up suet? Hehe, then I will nod shamelessly."

"Are you being polite to me? I heard that my cousin is very good at handling pig blood. I will have to ask my cousin for help when the time comes."

"of course!"

After sitting for half an hour, the family of four went to Zhao Yulian's house again carrying gifts. As soon as they left, Zhao Baoqing pointed to several gifts on the table and said to the sons in the room, "What did I say? You always If you don’t believe it, then open your eyes and take a closer look. Not to mention the pastries, just the tobacco, wine, sweets and tea, how much does it cost in total?”

The tobacco and alcohol purchased are relatively high-end, and everyone knows the price. Tea and sugar are not only expensive, but also cost money. They are all carefully prepared gifts.

No one spoke in the room for a moment.

Zhao Zhenhua glanced around, with a flash of ridicule in his eyes, and quickly suppressed all his emotions, and said casually, "A big unity picture is definitely not enough. Just these two bottles of wine cost more than seven yuan. Here is this cigarette. Who is willing to give away cigarettes by the box? It would be generous to give a box of two..."

Sun Shuhong cooperated with her man, "Then the gift from my cousin is too generous. Isn't the meal prepared by our family not big enough? We can't let the new son-in-law look down on us, otherwise we will be embarrassed..."

Zhao Zhenhua chuckled, "But some people still think that our family is making a fuss out of a molehill, and we are even willing to kill chickens to entertain guests."

Huang Juan's face was blue and white, and it was she who Zhao Zhenhua was insinuating. She was reluctant to kill the chicken and felt that it was not necessary to prepare such a high-standard banquet, so she muttered several words before, which obviously made the whole family listen. Her parents-in-law and brother-in-law didn't say anything, but who knew they were waiting to slap her in the face.

She said unconvinced, "His third uncle, I also think about my family. Our family only raises a few chickens. We kill them all and eat them. How can we lay eggs? All year round, people of all ages can just point to those few eggs to supplement their health." body."

Zhao Zhenhua sneered, "The one that was killed was just a rooster. It was meant to be kept for food and would not affect the laying of eggs."

Huang Juan choked, blushed and said, "You can't kill roosters casually, otherwise what will we eat on New Year's Eve?"

Zhao Zhenhua asked, "Is it more important for us to have a New Year's Eve meal at home, or to entertain our new son-in-law now?"

This is equivalent to asking whether your greed is more important or your face.

No matter how shameless Huang Juan was, she could not choose the former. She glared at her brother-in-law angrily and remained silent.

Zhao Zhenhua twitched the corner of his mouth and asked the eldest brother and sister-in-law the question he just asked, "What do you think?"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhao family was timid and timid. She sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and had long since retreated to a corner and became invisible.

Brother Zhao had to express his position, "Of course hospitality is important. Trees need bark and people need face. If you don't fight for steamed buns, you still have to earn your breath. You can't make your new son-in-law look down on you. That chicken deserves to be killed. It's good to kill it." ”

"My eldest brother thinks so, and I feel relieved. Otherwise, I would have to feel sorry for my cousin. She has helped our family so many times, but it is not worth the weight of a chicken. Anyone else would have turned their backs and left, not to mention far away. Just nearby, who gave me the bicycle ticket? Do you know how much a bicycle ticket can be sold on the black market? It’s thirty yuan, and my cousin didn’t ask for a cent from us.”

After a pause, he suddenly sneered again, "It's a shame that I had the audacity to ask my cousin for pork suet just now. Our family can't even part with a chicken, so why should they leave a share of pork suet to our family? People's hearts change people's hearts. , No one is a fool, just want to get benefits without paying, haha, dreaming is faster. "

The eldest and second sons of the Zhao family were so embarrassed by these words that they couldn't get off the stage.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Zhao Baoqing knocked on the table, "Okay, that's it for now. Don't be so blind in the future and just stare at the three melons and two dates. The days are long, we have to wait and see."

"Yes, Dad, we will listen to you from now on."

"Dad, don't worry, we won't talk nonsense in front of your cousin."

Zhao Baoqing sighed, "I hope so."

Otherwise, even if they are guarding a golden mountain, they will not be able to get even a single cent. (End of chapter)
