A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her
Chapter 66 Discussion
Everyone looked like they had been hungry for three days and were only concerned with eating.
Xu Huaian, relying on his height and skills, selected a lot of meat for Gu Qinghuan and the two children. The family enjoyed the meal very much. The free food was delicious. Not to mention, Lin Xiaomeng was a good cook.
Gu Qinghuan was not afraid that she would do anything fishy. After all, the Evil-Slaying Spirit Spring was specifically designed to counter her Fortune Spirit Spring. If she dared to take advantage of the opportunity to attack them, she would be in trouble and would definitely lose both her wife and her army.
Fortunately, there was no movement until the meal was over.
There is no harm without comparison. Xu Huaizhi only cares about his own food and doesn't care about others.
Lin Xiaomeng looked at Gu Qinghuan with envy. When the second child was crazy, no one knew that he was so caring and considerate. In this respect, he was better than Xu Huaizhi.
Liu Guifang's eyes were darting around, and her red, swollen and bruised face looked like a devil in a movie.
"They all look like starving ghosts reincarnated!"
Xu Huaian and Gu Qinghuan turned a deaf ear and focused on eating, while Liu Guifang punched the cotton.
Xu Meiling was in a hurry. Before she even finished her meal, she said, "Dad, my business..."
Xu Mingshan knocked on the wall of the bowl: "Why are you panicking?"
All the food on the table was eaten up cleanly, even the soup at the bottom of the bowl was eaten by Xu Huaiyu by dipping his steamed bun.
Xu Huaian and his family also ate a lot and felt very full.
It's rare to have a full meal at Lao Xu's house, that's because the old woman didn't get up to watch over the stove today.
Dabao and Beibei have never eaten their fill here before, but today is the first time.
And I also got to eat meat, so satisfied!
After eating and drinking, the three children went out to play. To be precise, it was Dacheng who took the initiative to ask Dabao and Beibei to go out to play.
After what happened before, Lin Xiaomeng has given her child a good education. Although she also feels sorry for the child, based on her experience in her previous life, she also knows that children must be taught well in order for them to become successful.
Blindly pampering him will only turn him into a street thug, doing nothing and unable to achieve anything high or low.
Gu Qinghuan also felt that children should not be influenced by adults, so she let them go and play together.
As daughters-in-law, Lin Xiaomeng and Gu Qinghuan naturally had to work and take the dishes away to wash. Although they went to the kitchen, they pricked up their ears to listen to the noise outside.
The atmosphere in the main room was weird, and everyone looked at Xu Mingshan, waiting for him to speak.
Xu Mingshan slowly lit his pipe, took a puff, and the air was filled with smoke.
Then he said leisurely: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, it's a rare occasion for the family to get together, so let's let bygones be bygones.
I want to announce a happy event: Meiling's marriage is settled, and the young man is Chen Jianghe, Chen Zhiqing.
I asked Blind Zhou to calculate a date for them this morning, and it’s set for the day after tomorrow.
The man’s parents definitely won’t be able to make it in time, so this matter will have to be handled by us women. We will simply set up a few tables in our compound.
Brothers and sisters in the family, you all need to help. "The previous part is just a prelude, the last part is the most crucial.
No one spoke.
"Since Chen Jianghe is unwilling to give a betrothal gift, we will not give a dowry, as it would seem that we are being too pushy.
But when a girl gets married, she must at least have nice clothes. I see that the older generation knows how to dress up, so I'll leave this matter to them.
As for them, they will temporarily live at home after they get married, in Meiling's old room. They don't lack anything, but they need something festive. Third brother, why don't you buy your sister a pair of red double happiness pillowcases?"
"Dad, I understand." Although Xu Huaizhi did not approve of them being together, as the eldest brother, he would not refuse to help his sister and agreed readily.
Lin Xiaomeng in the kitchen clenched her cheeks when she heard this. This idiot, I told him countless times in the morning not to agree easily, but he just listened with one ear and let it out with the other!
Xu Huaiyu naturally responded: "Dad, I'll buy it for you."
He had no money, so in the end he still had to ask Liu Guifang for money. It was like his family giving him money in disguise, and it also helped him earn a reputation as a loving sister. The old woman is really calculating.
The saying that the emperor loves his eldest son and the people love their youngest son is indeed true.
Xu Meiling was happy to see that her two brothers agreed readily.
"Ahem, as for us old couple, we will definitely have to give Meiling some money as a dowry. We can't really have no dowry at all.
As for the second brother, I guess you can't come up with the money, so just help me do something!" The old fox showed his true colors.
Xu Huaian looked like he would do whatever the gentleman said.
"We need to buy meat to hold a wedding banquet. The meat coupons of our family and Chen Jianghe combined only add up to a little over one pound, which is definitely not enough. It won't work if we only have vegetarian dishes, as they are too shabby.
We can only think of ways to get wild game in the mountains. Second brother, you are good at fighting. Go to the forest to get some wild game in the next two days to add some dishes to your sister's wedding."
So this is what Xu Mingshan meant.
Xu Huaian thought for a moment and said, "Dad, my hands and legs have been tied for more than a year. They are not very flexible now. I am afraid I won't be able to catch any prey."
Seeing that he was trying to shirk responsibility, Liu Guifang immediately became furious: "When you hit me, your hands and feet were very nimble! You just don't want to help your sister!"
Xu Huaian looked at her leisurely: "Mom, I didn't hit you on purpose, I just had a seizure!
Besides, do you think you can still sit here and eat today with my skills in my prime? "
Xu Huaizhi chimed in, "That's right, Lao Er, when he first went crazy, more than a dozen people couldn't hold him down, and everyone beat him up until he was black and blue.
Now my hands and feet have indeed deteriorated a lot." He said while looking at Liu Guifang's injuries.
Liu Guifang was so angry that she was fuming.
"So, you think the beating was too light, right? You unfilial bastard!"
Xu Huaiyu, the mama's boy, quickly said, "Mom, don't be angry. You'll get sick if you keep getting angry."
"The third one is still reliable."
Xu Mingshan tapped his pipe and said, "Okay, stop talking!
Let's put it this way! Second brother, you try your best. If your hands and feet are not good enough, you can still use a trap. The better, the better. Big brother, go to the river this afternoon to get some fish.
We haven't had a wedding in a long time, so we should at least do it in a public manner and avoid people talking about it."
Xu Huaian's eyes were obscure and difficult to understand.
Xu Huaizhi suddenly said, "Speaking of happy events, the second brother and his sister-in-law didn't have a wedding ceremony, how about we all have some fun together this time?"
He meant well, but it was obvious that no one was willing to do it.
Xu Meiling was the first to stand up and shout, "I don't agree! I don't want to do it with them, you can do it on your own!"
Liu Guifang quickly comforted her daughter: "Why are you so excited? Who would want to hold a wedding ceremony again? It's embarrassing."
Xu Mingshan didn't say anything. It was obvious that he didn't want to get one for his second son. They were already living together anyway, so what could he do? He would have to spend more money to buy things.
Xu Huaizhi looked embarrassed. He didn't expect that his good intentions would lead to a bad outcome and he ended up roasting his second son on the fire.
"We don't have to do it!" Xu Huaian said directly.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiaomeng looked at Gu Qinghuan, expecting to see disappointment on her face, but unexpectedly she looked calm, as if she didn't care at all.
As a woman, you should all look forward to the wedding ceremony, right? Does Gu Qinghuan really not care, or is she just pretending not to care?
