Chapter 670 The ugly daughter-in-law meets her parents-in-law
ps: I wish you all a happy new year!! Good health and all the best in the new year!

……

A group of people were cooking lunch in the courtyard, and bursts of delicious aroma came from the air.

"Hey, Xiaole, what are you doing?"

When he just came back, Aunt Wang saw him carrying a gas tank and asked curiously.

Yang Xiaole lifted the can down and said with a smile, "Oh, this is a liquefied petroleum gas tank, used for cooking."

Hearing this, Aunt Wang put down the cooking pan and walked over.

Mother Wang Qiuju had already prepared dinner.

He came out when he heard the noise.

"What is this!"

Wang Qiuju was wearing an apron and looked at the things in surprise.

Then he realized, "Oh, is this the liquefied gas tank your elder brother mentioned? Didn't I tell him not to get it? Why did he buy this? This tank costs three or four yuan!"

"Oh! It's so expensive!"

Aunt Wang who followed was surprised.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Mom, this is convenient to use. Besides, this thing looks expensive, but a can can be used for two or three months, or even longer. You can do the math yourself. The coal briquettes used at home cost about two yuan a month. Let me tell you, with this liquefied petroleum gas tank, without the quota, do you think you can get it?"

As he spoke, he came to the built stove.

Clean this up and start assembling.

Wang Qiuju frowned and watched him busying around there.

He complained, "How is it possible? It's just a small thing, how can it last for two or three months? You are kidding me!"

"Yeah! It's not much!"

"that is!"

Others murmured nearby.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "This is compressed liquefied petroleum gas. Just lift it. It weighs thirty kilograms. It compresses gas into liquid and then releases it.

Even if I tell you the details, you still won’t understand. You’ve already bought the things, so why don’t you try using them for a month and you’ll know. Use a coal stove to stew soup, and this to cook. After using them for a few months, you’ll know how much money you can save.”

My brother doesn’t understand this thing either and can’t explain it clearly.

But he knows.

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju became suspicious.

"seriously?"

"I told you, just use it if you want. I went to see my eldest brother and he mentioned it to me. I wanted to buy it. I don't want you to pay for it. It's my own allowance."

Assemble while talking.

This thing is very simple.

It was installed very quickly.

While busying himself, he said, "If you encounter any problems, take the notebook to the LPG company. Don't dismantle it randomly. Also, children are not allowed to touch this thing."

Wang Qiuju muttered, "What a hassle!"

Yang Xiaole installed the battery, checked it, smelled it, and made sure there was no problem before lighting it.

"Clap!"

The old-fashioned stove has a relatively strong firepower.

"Wow, the fire is quite strong!"

"Yeah! That's great! These are very convenient."

"This fire can be big or small!"

The others were muttering there.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said to his mother: "Mom, you try it. Use the match you used before to light it, and it will light up."

At this time, matches are used to light the fire, not electronic lighters.

Similar to the "small steel cannon" sold at roadside stalls.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiuju came over and tried it.

You may not know how to use it at first, but you will learn it after some teaching.

Finally, he shut it down: "Don't try it, it costs money to burn this thing!"

After saying that, he also closed the main valve.

I feel bad about gas.

But she also felt that this thing was really convenient to use.

Yang Xiaole looked around the yard. Although all the children of school age had gone to the countryside, there were still some. It would be dangerous to leave this thing outside.

But there is no other way but to put it outside.

At least there won't be gas poisoning, otherwise, he really wouldn't bother with this thing.

Thinking of this, he told the others: "Children can't touch this thing, otherwise it will be dangerous. If the gas leaks out..."

Let me tell you the general situation.

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju watched her eldest grandson come closer and slapped him.

"Can't you hear what your uncle said? Stay away from this thing."

Xia Tian was hit on the head and ran away feeling aggrieved.

Yang Xiaole was speechless when he saw this.

Wang Qiuju looked at it and urged, "Okay, the food is ready. Come eat quickly, we are just waiting for you."

"Okay! I'll wash my hands."

Yang Xiaole said this with a smile, then lifted the curtain and walked into the house.

This winter is really cold.

It was much warmer once we entered the house.

At this time, several dishes were already placed in the room.

He took off his hat and hung it up, then washed his hands with some hot water.

After a while, the crowd outside dispersed and my mother came back with a smile on her face.

no way.

Everyone has vanity.

After all, liquefied gas is a rare thing in the compound, and it can be used at any time.

Yang Xiaole took the kettle off the coal stove and warmed his hands with the fire.

After my mother came in, she was still nagging: "You guys are willing to buy such an expensive thing. Isn't the stove very useful? You and your elder brother are both like this. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole complained, "Mom, that's enough. I'm back for the New Year, can't you stop nagging me? And what's more! How old is my brother? He's 27 years old, and he's almost . Besides, he's the director of an institute, and you're still nagging me for buying a gas stove.

From now on, don’t interfere with what the family buys or does, do you hear me?

Big brother, don't you want to save face? Besides, even if your sister-in-law doesn't say anything, you have to nag her when she buys something. How can she feel comfortable? "

Although my eldest brother is married, my mother takes care of the children because my sister-in-law has to go to work, and she also takes care of their food and drink.

It's not like in the city where people just move out and separate after getting married.

So my mother still has the mindset of a rural patriarch.

This idea won't work.

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Yang Xiaole looked up and saw his mother wiping her tears.

A moment of helplessness.

Then he retracted his tone and said with a smile, "Mom, I don't mean anything else. Look at the family. The youngest Xiaomai is getting married. Let go of what you can let go. You don't have to worry about money. Look at your small treasury. Is the money increasing? I really don't know what you are worried about.

Do you still want to be a big capitalist? "

I gave her some money before I left, and my eldest brother still gives her some living expenses every month.

Both my eldest sister and Xiaomai worked and gave everything to their family except for a little living expenses and a small amount of change.

In fact, the family has quite a bit of money now.

I guess the money in the entire compound combined is not as much as she has.

When Wang Qiuju heard him say that he wanted to be a big capitalist, she glared at him unhappily.

"What nonsense are you talking about! You want your mother to go to the street office to attend a meeting?"

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "I dare not. By the way, how is Xiaomai's marriage going? Is it off? Why haven't you guys told me about it?"

Xiaomai had already gone on blind dates for her marriage, and it was about time they decided on it.

Wang Qiuju hummed when she heard this: "I originally thought that you wouldn't be able to come back this year. I wrote to you but you didn't reply. The marriage is scheduled for the beginning of spring, in March!"

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

"I guess we won't be able to come back at this time. Have you prepared everything at home? Tell me if you need anything and I'll get it for you!"

Wang Qiuju shook her head: "Everything that needs to be bought has been bought, and new clothes have also been made."

After listening, Yang Xiaole pondered for a while and said, "If you already have them, forget it. For new clothes, go to the department store and buy some expensive clothes without tickets. The clothes are nice, and you can buy several sets for spring, summer, autumn and winter. Xiaomai is a special case after all, don't let others look down on you.

Also, give her all the money she gave you at work when the time comes, and make it an even number for her."

Nowadays, whoever is poor is glorious.

But privately, it is another story.

If you give too little, Xiaomai will feel uncomfortable when her husband's family members complain.

Wang Qiuju hesitated for a moment after hearing this: "Is it okay? Will your father say anything then?"

After all, this is my mother's family's business.

She was afraid that her man would have some thoughts if she went too far.

She did plan to give him some money secretly, but she didn't want to return all the money she had earned to him as Yang Xiaole had said.

Yang Xiaole nodded and said, "Give it all to her. Our family doesn't make money by selling our daughter. You don't need to worry about my marriage to Xizi."

Then he said unhappily, "Besides, do you think that Dad doesn't know that you have been sending money, national food coupons, cloth, and other things back home all these years?"

I didn’t have the ability before, but since the situation at home has improved, my mother would send some things over.

Although it is not much, it is enough to improve life in my hometown.

Looking at his mother's expression, he smiled and said, "Of course, Dad also gave things to Aunt's house. I know, isn't this good? Okay, it's settled. You discuss it with Dad, and I'll let Big Brother talk to Big Sister-in-law."

Wang Qiuju didn't say anything after hearing this. Indeed, she would send some things back home every now and then, especially to Xiaomai's sister, Miaomiao.

Then he said in embarrassment: "What about your sister?"

"It's all the same! Hey, it's still early, big sister! We'll talk about it when the time comes!"

My eldest sister’s boyfriend went to Qingdao to participate in a reform program and he probably won’t be back in the short term.

Seeing him say that, Wang Qiuju could only reluctantly agree: "That's all the money you earned. If you don't feel sorry for it, I don't care."

If the money of the two daughters was taken away, then the money spent by the family would be the money earned by Yang Guangzhi and Yang Xiaole.

Yang Xiaole nodded impatiently: "Okay, got it. Let's eat quickly, I'm starving. Didn't you see that the little guy is almost rolling his eyes because of hunger?"

Hearing this, the confused Xia Tian gave him a real eye roll.

Then several people had dinner there.

"Oh, by the way, where did you get that car?"

"Oh. I borrowed it from my classmate. I'll ride it for a few days and return it to him when I leave."

Yang Xiaole was talking nonsense there.

Wang Qiuju didn't say anything when she saw this.

After dinner, he said he was going to take a shower and left home.

I rode my bike to the district party committee building and found Qu Ying.

Qu Ying was also surprised when she saw him.

He looked around, came over, bit his lip and smiled, "How did you find time to come back?"

"Hey, I just missed you so I came to see you!"

Qu Ying blushed when she heard this. Even though they had been together for such a long time, she was still not used to saying such cheesy words in public.

She rolled her eyes at him in reproach and said with a smile, "You are so unruly. Do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight?"

"Forget about the meal. I'll go to your house tonight and take you out for dinner tomorrow night!"

Qu Ying hummed when she heard this. She must be away from her family when she just came back: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home!"

Yang Xiaole nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, let's have dinner at home during the New Year this year!"

"what?"

Qu Ying was surprised for a moment, then said nervously: "I...I will go to...your house to celebrate the New Year! This is not okay!"

"What's wrong with that? I've already told my mom about it. I'll talk to my dad again when I get home tonight."

Seeing her nervous look, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Why? Are you still nervous? It's okay. This ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law eventually."

This made Qu Ying blush even more.

Then he stretched his neck and said, "Am I ugly? What's ugly about me?"

Yang Xiaole touched his chin and laughed: "Not ugly, how could my wife be ugly!"

"Oh?"

Qu Ying rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, "So, who's prettier, me or your childhood sweetheart from Hong Kong Island?"

"Cough cough~~"

Yang Xiaole was choked by these words.

He smiled bitterly: "Well, of course you are the prettiest!"

Only fools talk nonsense.

It can be said that the two are now evenly matched!
Moreover, Qu Ying has been drinking the well water he gave her. She is 26 years old now, but her appearance seems to have been frozen at the age of 18.

He doesn't look like he's in his twenties at all.

This can be seen from his mother Wang Qiuju. Wang Qiuju now still looks like she is in her thirties and can keep up with her eating and drinking.

I'm still in my thirties.

However, her dress is rather casual and she doesn't have the temperament of a noble lady yet.

Qu Ying is different, after all, she works in the system.

Hearing this, Qu Ying looked at him resentfully.

Then she remembered the trip to Yang's house during the Chinese New Year. She was still a little nervous: "Well...Xiao Le, do you have to go? But, I'm not ready yet. Will your parents agree?"

Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly: "What's there to prepare? Just bring whatever you need when the time comes. Don't be nervous. I'm here! I won't disagree."

Seeing him say that, Qu Ying took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Then I'll go get ready."

"Okay, take care of it. You don't need to prepare cigarettes and alcohol. I'll get them for you when the time comes."

"Okay! Got it."

Seeing that he had been notified of the matter, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Okay, go do your thing! I'll go back first. By the way, if you run into any trouble, tell me, don't bear it yourself."

She had just looked at her watch, probably because she had something to do.

Qu Ying smiled when she heard this: "I know. If I have any grievances, I will definitely tell you. Who else can I tell except you?"

After saying that, he looked at the time and smiled, "Then I'll get busy. I have a meeting to prepare for later. We'll talk tonight."

"Okay! I'll be leaving first then!"

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

Qu Ying watched the other person leave, and only after he left did she regain her thoughts.

She turned and left with a sweet smile on her face.

……

Qu Ying returned to the office.

Taking the materials prepared today, I came to the office director.

"Xiao Qu! How are the preparations for the meeting going? Don't let anything go wrong!"

Qu Ying came over with something and said with a smile, "Director Wang, it has been arranged."

After saying that, he handed the thing to him.

The other party took it and looked at it, then looked up: "Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing!"

Seeing this, Qu Ying did not leave, but stayed there struggling.

Director Wang saw that she didn't leave and seemed to want to talk, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong, Xiao Qu? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing this, Qu Ying said shyly: "Um... Director Wang, I have a girlfriend and I need to report to the organization now."

Hearing this, Director Wang was surprised for a moment and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. You are not young anymore. Who is this young man?"

"It's from our old compound..."

Qu Ying gave a general account of the situation.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Okay, fill out the form and I will report this matter."

He took out a form with a smile and handed it to her.

Qu Ying took it, took the pen, filled it out and handed it to him.

Director Wang took it, looked at it, and put it on the table: "Okay, if you get married, remember to treat me to wedding candy!"

This made Qu Ying feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, don't be embarrassed, go and do your thing!"

Upon seeing this, Qu Ying said hello and left.

When the door opened, I saw a middle-aged man standing at the door.

Qu Ying looked at him, her face regained its composure, and she greeted him with a professional smile: "Director Zheng!"

Zheng Jianhui looked at her and said with a smile: "Xiao Qu, you are busy!"

Qu Ying was originally planning to leave after saying hello, but naturally stopped when she heard this.

"Well, report the situation to Director Wang."

Zheng Jianhui nodded gently: "Well, go and get busy!"

Seeing this, Qu Ying naturally said hello and left.

Zheng Jianhui looked at Qu Ying's back as she left and gave a meaningful smile.

Then he walked into the office with a smile.

"Director Wang!"

After coming in, he greeted the director with a smile.

Director Wang looked at the other person and felt unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, even though he was a worker before!
He is currently the deputy director of the Office of Isolation Committee.

"Deputy Director Zheng! What's wrong?"

"Oh me……"

Zheng Jianhui didn't finish his words and looked at the list on the table.

He picked it up without asking for the other party's consent.

He frowned and asked, "Does Qu Ying have a partner?"

Director Wang was a little dissatisfied, but he nodded gently: "Yes! This is the form he filled out."

Zheng Jianhui felt unhappy when he heard this.

He is only 38 years old this year. After his wife, who was an ugly woman, was divorced, he has already found many suitable women.

Qu Ying is only 26 years old, she has a good figure and good looks.

Still a college student.

I really can't find anything more suitable than this.

In his heart, Qu Ying was destined to be his wife in the future, so how could she become someone else's object!
How does this work?
This must never be allowed to happen.

"Deputy Director Zheng! Deputy Director Zheng! What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Director Wang looked at him without saying anything and called out a few times.

Zheng Jianhui reacted after hearing this and said with a smile: "Oh, nothing! I just forgot about it. I have something important to do. I'll leave first."

There was nothing to do with looking for him.

Now that he finds out that his wife is being poached by someone else, how can he tolerate this?

Director Wang frowned as he watched him leave.

He knew very well what this person was thinking.
