The happiness of rebirth is knocking on the door

Chapter 31

When Li Xiaohong came home, Zhang Meiying was busy in the shop with a big smile on her face.Then Li Xiaohong saw a person who bought something and paid for it. Her mother took the money and returned it to the person.

My mother is usually very careful. Looking at it like that, my mind is still wandering. Li Xiaohong quickly reminded: "Mom, don't forget to ask for money."

Zhang Meiying promised again and again: "Look at my memory, I forget everything when I am happy." She hurriedly withdrew her hand and gave him some change.

The shopper also jokingly said, "As long as you're not afraid of losing money, I'm fine."

"Think beautifully, how can there be such a good thing!"

The man shook his head, smiled and walked away.

"Mom, what is the happy event today? Seeing that you are so happy, you don't even plan to take money from others." Li Xiaohong also teased her mother.

"Your aunt came this morning and said that your Cousin Cathay Pacific is getting married and invited us to the wedding."

"Brother Cathay is getting married? This is a happy event!"

"Yes, your aunt has survived now, and she will be a mother-in-law soon!"

"Well, Brother Guotai is doing a good job. If Brother Guomin passes the exam again, my aunt can rest assured!"

"Both his brothers are good. It's your sister Guoxiang who doesn't study hard and likes to dress up all day long."

"Hehe, the fingers are not the same length. Not everyone is as good as Brother Cathay."

"Yeah, I just didn't expect Cathay Pacific to get married in a blink of an eye. When will you grow up?"

"We also grow very fast. You can see that I have already reached your chin."

"Well, I'm slowly becoming a big girl, and the days go by so fast."

"By the way, where is my cousin?"

"I heard it belongs to the county bank."

It seems that after rebirth, this cousin-in-law has not been replaced.Now Li Xiaohong felt relieved, if her little butterfly flapped its wings and wiped out her cousin, then she would be sorry for Brother Cathay, in the impression that their husband and wife relationship is quite good.

"When are you going to have a banquet?"

"According to your aunt, there are two sessions, one for relatives in my hometown, and one for colleagues of your Cathay brother or something."

"Then we will go with other relatives then?"

"When inviting relatives, we will go together at that time. When inviting their colleagues, treat guests in the county town, and I will go by myself. Once in a lifetime, I, as a little aunt, will be there to help your cousin no matter what."

"Is the date set?"

"The treats in the county are a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, while those at home are a few days later."

"Then I'll go and see when the wedding is held in the county seat. I haven't had a banquet in the county seat yet."

"How about that? There will be adults everywhere, and you, a child..."

Having said that, Zhang Meiying stopped, this child in her family is not an ordinary child.Ordinary children who think so thoughtfully like her have endless good ideas.

"Let me go, mom, I haven't been around the county much, and I want to see what my cousin is like first." Li Xiaohong hugged Zhang Meiying's arm and did not let go for her mother's approval.Alas, if I was an adult when I was reborn, I would say it. I have spent so much time and changed so many current situations in my family. When things really happen, the adults will still treat me as a child.

Zhang Meiying was tortured by her, "Okay, okay, then I will take you to see and see."

"Mom, the man who gets married in our village has to give the woman a dowry. My cousin's family is from the county seat. Does my aunt's family have to give more dowry?"

"I didn't hear from your aunt about this. But you also know the situation of your aunt's house. It would be nice if her family can organize the banquet. That's it, I'm afraid that there is not enough money for the banquet. Your aunt came over some time ago and borrowed some from our house. Where's the money?"

"Isn't my aunt's house okay? My uncle is the secretary of the village party committee, and the conditions are pretty good."

"Being in the village is better than others, but the branch secretary has no salary. Besides, your Guotai brother is out of school, and your Guomin brother is still in high school. With his grades, it should be no problem to enter the university. Your aunt must advance I will give you the money to go to school for Brother Guomin, lest you can’t afford it when you are in a hurry. So, her family’s finances are now the tightest time. Even your brother Guotai, since you have to go to work, you have to pay for your brother Guomin Ready to work hard."

Speaking of this, Zhang Meiying added habitually, "Let me tell you, farming in the countryside, it is really not easy to get these three walnuts and two jujubes, so you must study hard. .”

"I know, Mom, I will naturally study hard, don't you worry about that?"

"That's right, the two of you sisters have never made me worry about it." Speaking of this, Zhang Meiying felt relieved.

"But my aunt gave less gifts, will my cousin's family look down on my aunt?" Li Xiaohong also continued to try to persuade her mother.

I remember that in the previous life, the relationship between my aunt and my cousin was always normal. It is said that Brother Cathay got a lot of help from his mother-in-law's family, and he often lived in his mother-in-law's house as if he was married.Li Xiaohong thought, with Cathay's self-esteem, he must not be able to bear relying on his mother-in-law's family for support, but poor and humble couples suffer from all kinds of hardships, and with children, their consumption has greatly increased, so what can they do without relying on their mother-in-law.

It was their child, and it was also my aunt's cousin Guoxiang who didn't want to study anymore, so she went to the city to bring them to them, while the aunt stayed in her hometown all the time.I have never seen my cousin and aunt get very close. Although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good in the world, it may also have something to do with the simplicity of the wedding.

"How can you look down on it? Both of them are going to get married, what else is there to look down on?"

"Mom, this is different from getting married or not. Marriage means that people think that Cathay is a good man, so they are willing to marry him. But the bride price represents whether the in-laws value it or not. If it is like you said, Cousin-in-law Do you feel that Auntie doesn't value her, so she doesn't even offer a bride price?"

"But isn't your aunt's family short of money now? You can't beat your swollen face to pretend to be fat."

Sometimes, it is really difficult to talk on an equal footing when the conditions of the two parties are not equal, not the right family.Li Xiaohong only found out about this after she got married.

"Mom, think about it, when we marry a daughter-in-law in our village, we still have to give some bride price to the woman. Not to mention that my cousin's family is from the county seat. But if Brother Cathay doesn't have anything, doesn't it seem too inconsiderate?"

"What are the people in our village like, and what kind of talent is your Cathay brother? That is praised by everyone. He is a good person, good-looking, and capable, but it is really hard to find with a lantern."

Zhang Meiying was full of praise when she mentioned her nephew.

However, Li Xiaohong also felt that she was telling the truth. Cousin Cathay Pacific looked like a famous movie star, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified personality, and a sense of responsibility. He would be admired everywhere.

"It's two different things, mom, think about it, you should be close to the second uncle, because you are brothers and sisters, but if the second uncle's family has something to do with each other, such as the second uncle's family has a child or someone gets married, you should If you don't pay any money, if you kiss again, what will Second Uncle think?"

"How is that possible? I can't do without them if they have something to do."

"Similarly, every year the eldest concubine gives us less money, but you give them a lot of New Year's money, do you think that the eldest concubine naturally has no second relatives?"

Li Xiaohong also didn't expect that one day she would tell her mother the principles of life. Her mother has always been kind to others and never treated her relatives badly, but she only acted according to her own heart, and never thought about the principles in it.Li Xiaohong only understood these truths after suffering a lot. In the previous life, her mother didn't consciously teach her daughter these things, but just let her study hard, thinking that she would have everything if she was admitted to university.

After Li Xiaohong's explanation, Zhang Meiying finally understood that being nice to others is being nice to others, and the kindness that should be had is human kindness.You are good to others, but you have to show it, not just thinking about this person in your heart, others will know it.

"You child, you have a set of truths. It's okay for me to listen to you, so what do you want to do?"

"Why don't we give Brother Cathay some more gift money this time?" Li Xiaohong hurriedly expressed her opinion.

"That's fine, just how much is appropriate?" Zhang Meiying said to herself.

"How much money do we have now?"

"It's less than 2000 yuan." Knowing that her daughter knew a lot, Zhang Meiying didn't hide it from her.Li Xiaohong knew that her mother would save any money she had, and she was not willing to eat it, but nearly 2000 yuan was a huge sum of money at this time.

"Then give [-] to Brother Cathay, and we will reserve the rest."

"You are a generous child. But our family only has so much money, so giving it to him is too much." Zhang Meiying sighed inwardly. Her daughter has so much money, she is really reluctant to give it all away.

"Mom, think about it, now is the most difficult time for my aunt's family. Brother Cathay just started working not long ago, and brother Guomin and his cousin are both in school, so it's difficult for them."

Seeing that Zhang Meiying listened earnestly, Li Xiaohong took a breath, and continued: "However, Cathay is a good man. You also said that he is very capable and has always been filial. He will not lose us in the future. To put it bluntly, this After paying the money, we are not afraid of not being able to get it back, my sister and I are still young, and we don’t have much use for the money, so why not use the money we can’t afford to let Brother Cathay use it?”

Li Xiaohong always remembers that Brother Cathay gave her 1000 yuan when she was admitted to school. Although the times are different, the value of 1000 yuan now is much higher than when she was admitted to school.But she always kept this friendship in her heart.

"You are really kind to your Cathay brother. Now your father's monthly income is less than [-] yuan, and you gave him all his two years' income at once, which is still two years' wages with no food or money."

"Isn't Dad's noodle factory already profitable? Dad doesn't only rely on this salary. Besides, my aunt is not an outsider, she has always been so close to us."

This is true, Zhang Meiying was reluctant to plant vegetables in her family's fields, even if there was only a small piece of wasteland cultivated by herself, she would plant crops, hoping to reap a little bit.People who are poor and afraid, once they have the opportunity, they will not let go of anything.It was my aunt Zhang Meizhi who cultivated a wasteland outside her yard to grow vegetables. Seeing Li Xiaohong's greedy sisters, she sent a lot of vegetables to her family every year.
