Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Xiaohe Production Team.

The second branch of the Lin family is going to hold a wedding tomorrow, and many people came to their house today to help with things.

Most of them are female comrades who are good at washing.

As the eldest sister-in-law of the family, Liu Xiao'e naturally helps wash the vegetables here.

Su Erniu came over with a bucket of water and saw Liu Xiaoe washing vegetables. She asked, "Sister Liu, I saw your youngest daughter and her fiancé coming back together this morning?"

"Yes, I'm back." Liu Xiao'e put the washed vegetables into a clean basket.

"Your youngest son has been staying in the city for a while. I heard from Mei Zi that he found a job in the city. Is that true?"

Liu Xiao'e closed her eyes slightly, but she didn't stop washing the vegetables. "I think so. I didn't ask for the details."

Su Erniu exclaimed: "You really have a job. Those people also said that Lin Shu lived with her fiancé in the city. I didn't believe it. Fortunately, I asked you a few more questions, otherwise I would have misunderstood Lin Shu."

"What did you say?" Liu Xiao'e turned her head and glared at Su Erniu, "Who are you listening to? When did my youngest child start living with his fiancé?

Don't talk nonsense. My youngest and my ninth brother are a married couple with a formal marriage certificate. She stayed in the city mainly for work. Even if she lived with my ninth brother, isn't that right? Are you married to your man and still living separately? "

"......" Su Erniu was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, and pretended not to hear the last two sentences, "You said that your youngest daughter and her man have already got married?"

"Yes, otherwise how could the two of them come in and out together? Even if she wanted to, we old couple would not agree!"

Liu Xiao'e decided to clear her daughter's name today. Who the hell is jealous of the youngest daughter's good marriage and gossiping here? If she knew, she would tear her stinky mouth.

Several aunts who were helping nearby overheard their conversation, and they looked at each other without daring to say a word.

Su Erniu glanced at the women around her, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "Since they have already obtained the marriage certificate, why don't you hold the wedding banquet as soon as possible?"

"Do you think I don't want to? It's the two young people who want to hold the wedding later. After we hold the wedding here, they will go to the provincial capital to hold the wedding."

As she spoke, Liu Xiao'e glanced at the women around her and deliberately said loudly, "My mother-in-law said that after we finish the banquet, we will let the couple take the train to the provincial capital. There, my mother-in-law will make arrangements and host dozens of tables."

"Tsk! Xiao'e, your son-in-law has so many relatives in the provincial capital. How many people would it take to fill dozens of tables?"

"I heard that your son-in-law is the youngest child in the family. I heard you say he is the ninth brother. Does that mean he has eight brothers and sisters before him?"

Liu Xiao'e felt the same way after hearing this and sighed slightly: "In the old days, it was not so easy to raise nine children. My mother-in-law said that she only raised four boys and one girl. The ninth brother has three older brothers and one older sister."

hiss!

The others were all mothers, and when they heard that only five children were raised, they felt regretful and suffocated at the same time.

How painful it must be for a mother to lose four children one after another!

Second Aunt Lin Li Xiu looked through the window and saw Liu Xiao'e's smug face. She poked Lin Mei's forehead in dismay, "You've always liked to compare yourself with Lin Shu since you were a child, but in the end, you ended up with a man she didn't want. While you're being complacent here, she turned around and found a better one."

"In my heart, Chunlei is the best, no one can compare to him!"

Xie Chunlei is the man she has liked for many years. As they are getting married soon, how can Lin Mei allow others to say bad things about him?

Even Li Xiu, the mother, couldn't do that. Besides, she and Jie Chunlei had already had physical contact.

Li Xiu sneered, "No one can compare to you. Look at Lin Shu. He found someone from the provincial capital. He not only has a house in the county town, but also in the provincial capital. All his relatives and friends are from the city. How impressive it is to tell others about it! And you, you married a farmer who works hard all day long."

The more satisfied she was with her son-in-law before, the worse her mood is now.

There really is no harm in comparison.

Lin Mei glared at Li Xiu angrily: "Brother Chunlei also has a job."

Li Xiu said with contempt: "He does have a job, but he is just a temporary worker at the township supply and marketing cooperative. He is not even as good as Lin Wei and Lin Guang. At least they are temporary workers at the county power supply station. You still treat him like a treasure!"

It has to be said that after the changes in the Lin family's eldest branch over the past few months, Li Xiu's vision has improved a lot.

But it was useless for her to improve herself. Her daughter was determined to think that Jie Chunlei was the best man in the world. What could she do?

Since she wants to get married, then let her get married. When she experiences the pain of marriage, she will realize how ridiculous her original obsession was.

Just like her, the daily necessities of life after marriage almost crushed her.

Li Xiu looked down at her clothes which were full of patches, and then looked at Liu Xiao'e who was wearing brand new clothes. This is the difference between a woman and her husband after she gets married.

Lin Mei glanced at Lin Dahe who was carrying a load of water from outside and retorted, "Don't you treat my father, a peasant, like a treasure?"

"You..." Li Xiu was so angry that she almost choked to death on her own saliva. Why was her life so miserable that she gave birth to such a debt collector?

No one knew about the dispute between mother and daughter. After washing the vegetables, Liu Xiao'e went home directly without waiting to eat in the second room.

Several children were fighting in front of the house. Gu Jiu was sitting on a lounge chair under the porch, watching the children fighting with a lazy look. He crossed his long legs and peeled a peanut and put it into his mouth from time to time.

When he saw Liu Xiao'e coming back, he called out "Mom" softly.

Liu Xiao'e responded with a smile, glanced at the plate on the stool next to him, and walked past him into the house.

When he came out again, he was holding a tea tray with many peanuts, melon seeds, candies, biscuits, glutinous rice sticks and sesame balls on it.

"Mom, don't bother with that. Just have some peanuts."

When Gu Jiu saw the tea tray placed next to him, he blushed a little. His mother-in-law was treating him like a child.

Liu Xiao'e patiently coaxed him, "You have nothing to do anyway, so eat. There's more at home after you finish eating."

A few children noticed that there was food here and ran over.

"Wow, I want candy."

"I want sesame balls and glutinous rice noodles."

"Don't grab it, I want some candy too."

"Go away, stop rushing to grab food. This is for your uncle-in-law. Why are you everywhere?" Liu Xiao'e's face instantly longed when she saw the boy running over.

"Hey, Mom, let's eat together, let's eat together."

Gu Jiu hurriedly stopped Liu Xiao'e. He was a grown man in his twenties, and he couldn't eat alone and make the children drool. Was he still a human being?

Liu Xiao'e stroked her forehead and said, "Okay, don't let them eat too much of anything."

She got a headache when she saw these children who were never full. If she hadn't locked up the snacks at home, they would have been eaten up on the same day they were bought, and would never have had time to entertain guests.
