Chapter 155
This time, Zhu Meizhen didn’t need to ask, but the aunts and mothers took the initiative to ask around her
“Did Xu Wen make a lot of money in Pengcheng? Look at your family, you’re all wearing gold and silver, and your clothes and shoes are all brand new!”
Everyone in the production team thought that Xu Wen had bought them, and no one thought about Xu Wen
For one thing, Xu Wen was a girl, and how could a married daughter spend so much money on her mother’s family?
Secondly, Xu Wen is a college student How can a college student have any money? Even if she was in the army, it was only ten dollars a month
“It’s not bad! It’s better than farming” Zhu Meizhen said cheerfully, “My daughter-in-law bought the clothes, and my son-in-law bought the jewelry”
To be exact, Sang Xiaoqing grabbed the clothes
She was too embarrassed to take advantage of Xu Wen all the time Besides, Zhu Meizhen had brought up her and Xu Wen’s child for a year, so it was only right to buy her mother-in-law new clothes
As a result, after she grabbed the money, Xu Man bought her a set of gold jewelry, making Sang Xiaoqing even more embarrassed
The older ones asked Zhu Meizhen questions, and the younger daughters-in-law gathered around Sang Xiaoqing
The content of the conversation was similar, the elders were concerned about how much money Xu Wen earned in Pengcheng
The younger ones were not only curious about Xu Wen’s income, but also about the differences between the southern city and the north
Sang Xiaoqing told everyone in detail about the differences between the north and south in terms of living and eating
“Let’s not talk about anything else! You’ve changed a lot in the last half year!” A woman who had played well with Sang Xiaoqing before lamented
Before, everyone was living in the fields, exposed to the sun and wind, and their hands and faces were tanned, aging several years for nothing
Sang Xiaoqing used to be the same
Every spring when the farm is busy, the north of the dry cold wind blowing, bare skin outside the clothes without exception will be black and dry chapped
This year in Pengcheng stayed for most of the year, although there will also be hot, but about because of the relationship between the sea, the air is particularly moist, the whole person looks particularly good, the skin water tender a lot
Sang Xiaoqing weekdays only in the store busy work, not much see the sun, the whole person than at home a lot of white
Plus in Pengcheng every day with all kinds of people deal with, more insight, the whole person’s temperament has changed
People who live with each other can’t see it, but like the members of the same production team, who used to see each other every day and haven’t seen each other for a year, they can obviously see the changes
The other one also nodded and agreed, “Just like the women in the city! White and young, look at this skin”
She said stretching out her hand and Sang Xiaoqing’s hand together, Sang Xiaoqing’s skin color is several degrees brighter than hers, and her skin is also more tender
However, this daughter-in-law had only married last year and was three or four years younger than Sang Xiaoqing! Last year when they were hanging out together at New Year’s Eve, everyone still complimented her on her young skin
It is said that there is no harm without comparison
Those few young daughters-in-law were immediately envious
“Xiao Qing, you are truly blessed! Men love you, in-laws spoil you, and even your great aunt and sister-in-law treat you so well!”
“Yes! Previously, I said that the Xu family was so poor that marrying a daughter-in-law like Xiao Qing was a blessing from the ancestors’ graves! I didn’t realize that after a year, we have a house and a ticket, so it’s great!”
The other Sang Xiaoqing can be modest and boast about the Xu family, Sang Xiaoqing only agrees, “It’s my luck to have married into the Xu family! In fact, we all dipped into my little aunt’s light!”
She now had money in her hands, and like the once-existing Xu Wang, she would inevitably help out her family when she returned to her mother’s house
Her mother’s family also complimented her on her good fortune, saying that she had dipped into her little aunt’s light
This was something everyone agreed with
“Don’t mention it, your little sister-in-law is a capable person! She’s the only female university student in the entire commune!”
“Since she was a child, Xu Man has been different from us We girls are worthless, and female dolls are so-called money-losers From the time they were old enough to understand, they had to cook and bring up their younger siblings, and when they got older, they had to give up their schooling to the boys in the family, and when they were old enough to get married, they had to pay the bride price for their brothers’ daughters-in-law
People Xu asked with the same boys, the family pampered, to the age of the school went to school Xu family is so poor, to Xu Wen married daughter-in-law did not say stop her school!”
“That’s just sour talk! Why didn’t they stop? There were no high schools in our county for several years in between, and Xu Wen was still earning labor credits in the production team”
“That’s right What kind of work did we do? What kind of work did we do? What kind of work did she do?”
They both worked in the fields in the sun, while Xu Man worked in the brigade headquarters to keep the labor credits
“She’s educated! Can you do it? After all, it’s Xu Man who’s capable! He’s not the only high school student in the whole commune, is he? Who has better grades than her, male or female?”
The sour talkers lost their voices
In front of absolute strength, jealousy was meaningless
Sang Xiaoqing picked up, “Who says otherwise? My family ask don’t look like a girl’s family, that ability ordinary men can’t compare to, let me tell you on the island ”
She picked up what she could say about Xu Wen’s great achievements on Rainbow Island
For example, the rainbow island now use electricity ah, school ah, business ah all Xu Man’s idea
As for the matter of the Kaya ship, that belonged to the category of things that couldn’t be said, and Xu Man hadn’t told her about it either
Those who spoke sour words couldn’t even be sour anymore, only envy and admiration remained
Xu Man’s “bad idea” was intended only for Xu Wang’s in-laws
He hoped that the Xie family would loosen up and let Xie Dechun and Xu Wang go to Pengcheng
As a result, it was a “planted trees do not live, unintentional willows into shade”
Or can not say so, should be the tree also live, willow also do not know how to become shade
The Xie family was Xu Wen a pass rich to show off the five fans, and now the family is just short of supplying Xu Wang
Xie Dechun was originally on Xu Wang’s word, and at night Xu Wang’s pillow wind and then a blow
He surrendered and told his parents that he wanted to go to Pengcheng
As a result, Captain Xie rejected it, and Xie Dechun went back to his house
It was his mother who was moved and helped persuade Captain Xie
“Dechun is a man! What’s wrong with going out? You see that Xu family used to be so poor that they couldn’t afford to wear one piece of clothing for the whole family
This Xu Wen has only been out for a year, look at Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing, this pair of young people are now rich as what?”
Captain Xie’s tobacco pipe was smoking loudly
He wasn’t blind
Xu Wen, not to mention, although the girl is the production team leader, but the whole Taoyuan brigade know that she grew up good-looking foreign style, the Xu family and pampered did not really eat anything bitter
The change between Xu Wen and Sang Xiaoqing is really big
Xu Wen used to be an exceptionally good-looking, starry-eyed young man He used to work hard in the production team, and he was a hard worker
But the family conditions here, the person again good to talk about marriage is difficult
Later on, it was not Xu Wang married someone, only to have the bride price money for marrying a daughter-in-law
This went out for a year back, character speech than before much more stable, vaguely through a kind of businessman’s shrewd
The point is that there is really money
In the past, he did not like the Xu family’s marriage, and felt that having a poor relative was not good for his family
The good thing is that Xu Wang is a good daughter-in-law, and the Xu family has never come to the door to beat the autumn breeze
All kinds of red and white events, are in and out of moderation, did not let him lose face
This time, Xu Wen Xu Wen siblings home for New Year’s Eve, just like a money printing machine
Give them food and drink, and even clothes and shoes are given more than one set
All men, who do not have some ambition?
But there are some stubborn ideas that can’t be changed just by the heart
In the end, Mr Xie Dechun shook his head, “No way! Dechun’s two brothers have moved out, and he’s all alone in the house, so we can’t let him go out again I’m so old, in another three to five years I’ll retire, and let him take over the captain’s position, so the family can eat and drink without worrying, isn’t that a good thing?”
“What’s good about it? A family working hard is not as much as someone else earning more In the past, when the Xu family was poor, you couldn’t look down on the Xu family You were afraid that people would take advantage of you Now the wind and water turn, it is the turn of others Xu family rich, I see when the in-laws meet, you still have the face to others as a big brother? On your usual see people Xu Qiushi when that nostrils facing the sky like hehe, waiting for people next time to look down at you!”
“Being a big brother isn’t because we’re rich!” Captain Xie glared, “Isn’t that because I’m older? Besides, you have the nerve to call me a snob? When Dechun wanted to marry Xuwang, I don’t know who took a rope and said she’d hang herself if Xuwang got in!”
Xuwang’s mother-in-law was furious, “Who are you talking about? I don’t know who’s eyes grew to the top of the head at the beginning, picking on people horizontally and vertically ”
The house is not soundproof, and even a fart can be heard next door
Xu Wang sat on the bed in the inner room, his face is not too good
In the first half of her in-laws suppressed their voices to speak, she did not really hear, this moment two people said anxious eyes, forget to close the voice, so that she heard a clear
She knew that the Xie family began to her not very good, thought it was because of that time is not familiar, after all, these years is also considered good for her
She and her mother-in-law had never been red-faced, but she didn’t want them to keep looking at her like that
Xie Dechun was also sitting on the kang, a bit uneasy at the moment, seeing Xu Wang’s face getting more and more ugly, he busied himself to come to her, trying to put his arm around her, “Don’t listen to mom and dad’s nonsense! They are angry words to catch up ”
Xu Wang pushed him away, coldly interrupting him, “Is it the words or the words of your family’s heart? What’s the point of me begging for marriage in the first place? I, Xu Wang, am not unmarriageable!”
She was Xu Man’s own sister, and Xu Man’s looks were praised as the best in the entire commune, so even if Xu Wang was a bit worse, how bad could she be?
The number of young men in the commune who wanted to marry her was no less than when Xu asked for a date
She chose Xie Dechun because the two were once classmates and knew each other better than anyone else
Xie Dechun smiled: “I know! It was me who secretly liked you in the first place Don’t be angry, I’ll tell mom and dad later!”
Xu Wang once again pushed him away, directly getting off the bed to put on her shoes, and greeting her son Yuanbao to go out
Xie Dechun was anxious, “Where are you going?”
“Since your family doesn’t like our family and thinks we’re poor, I’ll just go back to our house”
As soon as Xu Wang left the house, her in-laws realized that they had said the wrong thing
But Xu Wang didn’t give them a chance to make up for it at all, leading her son away without even saying hello to them
Xie Dechun hadn’t finished putting on his shoes yet, and complained about his parents as he lifted his shoes, “Father, mother! Yuanbao is already a few years old, why do you still bring up that crap from the beginning? Why don’t you just get on with your lives? Besides, you two are still healthy enough to work, so what’s wrong with me going out as a man? Maybe I can even make more money than my brother-in-law! You’ll look good when you get back, right?
Why don’t you speak up at your age? Do you want to make me lose my wife so you can be happy?”
At the end of his sentence, he had already picked up his shoes and rushed out
Xu Wang and his wife were left behind for a long time before they reacted
Captain Xie knocked the tobacco pot in his hand on the ground: “Bastard! How dare you talk about my old man? How dare you talk about me?”
Granny Xu Wang glared at him, “Serves you right! You’re too lenient! You made your daughter-in-law and son run away! I’ll see who’ll serve you when I’m old!”
Captain Xie grunted heavily, “I never expected him to!”
Xu Wang’s mother-in-law let out a long sigh, lamenting, “People with money are really hardened You see, since Xu Wang married into our family, when has he ever given us a face like today? She has always obeyed us and coaxed us, and she has subsidized her mother’s family by spending her pocket money on herself Now that her brothers have made a lot of money, her temper has grown too!
If you don’t stop her, I don’t know who will be in charge of this family next year”
Captain Xie choked and didn’t retort, but pushed Granny Xu Wang, “Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!”
Xu Wang’s mother-in-law cursed and went to cook
In the end, Xu Wang used this as an excuse to make a big fuss, and the in-laws were relieved, saying that they would let them follow them to Pengcheng to try next year
The Xie family is not the same as the Xu family
Xu family is the whole family to run one
The Xie family has its own agenda
Xie Dechun is genuinely concerned about Xu Wang, afraid that she really make a divorce out
He understands his own daughter-in-law, and also knows that his brother-in-law and sister-in-law have never been easy to mess with
Especially the sister-in-law Xu Wen, she absolutely dare to urge Xu Wang and their own divorce
Old Tarzan and mother-in-law will not be for the sake of the reputation of the daughter
It’s only his parents who feel that Xu Wang has climbed up the ladder of his own family
Xu Wang is willing to go to Pengcheng, he will follow
Xu Wang’s father-in-law doesn’t want to be compared to his in-laws
Xu Wang’s mother-in-law is afraid of being poorer than the Xu family in the future, so it’s not good for her to take her mother-in-law’s position
So the family has reached an agreement
This is considered to be planted trees, as for the insertion of the willow is the other young people in the commune
The Xu family this a flurry of rich show down, red-eyed moved not just the Xie family
They are so high-profile, the whole commune know the unknown, have heard of their family in Pengcheng earned money
A lot of relatives who usually don’t move around, have unprecedentedly carried things to Xu’s house
With Xu Wen to inquire about the Pengcheng thing
The meaning of the words is to let Xu Wen also bring them or their children to work in Pengcheng
This Xu Wen can not dare, business and farming is not quite the same
Planting although some people planted good, some people planted bad, the difference is only a few hundred pounds of people planted good, planted bad people less than a few hundred pounds
No matter what, starvation is not dead, at most more or less eat a little
But doing business is a profit and loss!
If there is not Xu Man has been in the advice, he does not even dare to guarantee that he makes money
The second uncle is even worse than himself He is also equivalent to help Xu Man to look after the store, from the purchase to sell, all is Xu Man in charge
On the street where he and Sang Xiaoqing opened their dumpling restaurant, there were many new owners in a year
Some people make a lot of money, some people lose everything
He loosely take people out, at the end of the year to make money everyone is happy
If he loses money, they will not block the door to scold him to death?
When it comes to that unreasonable, may even blackmail him, relying on him to compensate for the loss
The effort is not pleasing not to mention, but also white to cause a fishy!
Even if you do not lose money to earn less, or do not make money, will still say he
For example, hiding, their own wealth regardless of their this and that
So come to send gifts to the people, the Xu family received politely, but, is not loose lips
Only said, really willing to go can go, but earn or lose depends on life
The family out of a strong laborer a year does not earn labor points, for not very rich families on the worse
If you don’t make money or lose money, who dares to go?
One resentful leave backwardly scolded Xu Wen careful, afraid of them to share his opportunity to make money
Xu Wen Xu asked to hear but laughed it off
Pengcheng now rapid economic development, money-making opportunities everywhere
No one can cover the sky with one hand
Exhausted Xu Wen can not monopolize all the opportunities to make money
Instead, they made the Xu family even more determined not to meddle in this idle matter
Of the ten people in the production team, seven were illiterate, two could barely write their own names, and only one was considered literate
If you go that far without a guide, you’re afraid you’ll get lost, and it’ll be a problem if you get lost
So Xu Wen does not let go, no matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, they can also lay down their heads
No one dares to leave their homes and go that far
To put it bluntly, it’s all about the harbor
Dare to morally kidnap Xu Wen, he did not take them to Pengcheng is Xu Wen careful, not righteous, ruthless, do not care about the feelings of relatives or neighbors
But do not dare to grow a little ambition, go to Pengcheng to make a breakthrough
In the evening, Xu Wen lay against the bed, Lu Yuanzheng and Dongsheng head to head are pasted on her belly
“It’s moving, it’s moving! It’s moving again!” Dongsheng shouted in surprise, “Little sister said hello to me!”
“Uh-huh” Lu Yuanzheng faintly hmmm’d, but his eyebrows and eyes were slightly as surprised as Dongsheng’s
At the very beginning, when the fetus moved, it was only one or two times a day, and it was especially light, so that no one could actually feel it except Xu Wen himself
He couldn’t hear it or touch it
It was as if there was a small fish tank in Xu Man’s belly
It was simply unrealistic to touch or listen to the sound of the small fish through her stomach and the fish tank
As Xu Man’s belly grew larger and larger, the fish tank gradually turned into a balloon
With her hand on her belly, she could feel a little movement
You can also hear it if you listen carefully
Xu Man was more than five months pregnant
The period of pregnancy was usually counted by weeks, and the so-called October pregnancy was forty weeks of pregnancy
Every four weeks was a month, slightly different from the usual calendar
According to the normal date, the pregnancy was not a month, but just a little over nine months
So Xu Wen’s pregnancy is less than five months according to the actual date, but over twenty weeks
Dongsheng, who had been insecure and resistant to the idea that Xu Man would give birth to a baby, also felt the movement of the little baby in his stomach and slowly became less repulsive
From time to time, he would come and touch it or listen to it
Xu Wen also told him that although the little baby in the stomach can not see, but can feel and hear, taught him to talk to the baby in the stomach
Originally, there was a little bit of coaxing Dongsheng, that is, he hoped that he could cultivate a few more feelings with the child in his belly
Who knows road expedition heard also believed, every day with Dongsheng grabbed with the child in the stomach to speak
And, also instilled in Dongsheng, Xu Wen belly must be a sister idea
