The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife - Chapter 390
Seeing Yu Conghui helping Guo Yujie come in, everyone present greeted them. There were younger generations of Guo Yujie married to Yu’s family, as well as younger generations of Guo’s family. There were a dozen or so people in the yard, and there were also several young adults on the roof. Falling tiles.
As for the tiles, there is no need to re-purchase them. There are hundreds of tiles on the corner of the wall, all of which were left when the tiles were changed. Almost all the tiles left in the house were left behind. Usually there are a few other tiles in the house. Everything that needs to be piled up can be used and will not be wasted.
“This glass is cracked. Now in the first month of the Chinese New Year, you have to pour the wind into your house!” A tall and lanky man stood outside the open tukang room. Guo Yujie rushed into the house to pack things and said: “Aunty, Xiaosi I just replaced the aluminum-plastic windows this year. The old wooden window frames in the house have been removed, and there are also glass. They are all old. Can I replace them for you?”
“Okay, it’s not broken, I don’t care about this.” Guo Yujie looked at the young man and said, this young man is her maiden nephew.
There is no need to worry that the glass is not suitable. In fact, they are all redundant. Almost all houses in their village are built by masons in their own village. They will only be enlarged for you unless someone specifically requests it, otherwise there will be fixed drawings. Just build it according to the drawings. The windows of almost a little older house are all the same size, and even the layout of the house is the same size.
“Xiaohui.” Guo Yujie called out to her daughter, “I have to leave them at our house for dinner tonight. I don’t know if Xiaolinzhuang’s distribution is at this point. You and Xiaoguan drive over there to have a look and buy some food. Ah, meat, fish, or whatever, come back and invite them to dinner at night, so you can’t make people work in vain.”
Yu Conghui reacted and slapped his head, “Yes, I almost forgot. It’s less than three o’clock now. The episodes over there are gone at about four o’clock. Guanhe, let’s hurry up.”
“Okay!” Guan He put down the photo frame in his hand, and left with Yu Conghui with the car key.
There is a collection in Xiaolinzhuang, one every five days, and the big one in rural areas is usually one every five days. This seems to be an old rule, but the vegetable market in the city is different.
Xiaolinzhuang is twelve or three miles away from Guozhuang, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive. After all, this is a rural area with many people coming and going, and it is still winding.
By the time I arrived at Xiaolinzhuang, the market here had already been over halfway, and there were still a few more on the vegetable side, but they had already begun to close their stalls.
The two hurried forward and greeted the middle-aged couple that they wanted to buy vegetables.
“What kind of food? This is about to close the stall, so you will be cheaper.” They usually come to set up the stall early in the morning, and the dishes are not very fresh all day long, and they all pick leftovers, but they are delicious or not. The problem is, after all, they are all grown in the greenhouse, and the vegetables are also collected from the bottom.
The two bought some celery, mushrooms, yam, beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes. They cost 30 kilograms for each. Now it’s cold, and these dishes won’t go bad if you leave them at home for a few days. Still care about this.
Later, I bought clams, mussels, two live fish, two mackerel and a few octopus. Of course, I went to a meat stall and bought a few catties of pork belly, two catties of roast pork, pig intestine and a braised pig. Legs, this is how I returned home full of loads.
“The steamed buns we brought this morning are still at Big Brother’s house.” Guan He said on the way back.
Yu Conghui said nonchalantly: “When I go back, listen at the door, I’ll take it.”
I still have to eat there in the evening. My eldest brother has rice and noodles at home, so I can cook it myself.
“Let’s buy a refrigerator for my aunt before we get married, and give her some steamed buns at intervals. She doesn’t have to make it. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time and will be given away after eating.”
Yu Conghui nodded, “It’s okay. The washing machine will be delivered tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You can buy another refrigerator. It just so happens that you go back tomorrow and go to the store to buy one. The one-door refrigerator will do. I saw a refrigerator with a price of 1200. The bucks seems to be for activities, red, and the capacity is not small.”
“Got it, I’ll go back and have a look tomorrow morning.”
At Minghui’s house, I stopped by the kitchen and took the steamed buns out. Zhang Lian sat on the kang to see Yu Conghui’s behavior. Her heart was disgusting. She muttered, but because the window was closed, she couldn’t hear it at all. .
Walking to the door, Yu Conghui remembered something, turned his head and shouted inside, “Wen Xiao, your dad is eating with grandma tonight, are you two at home or in the past?”
Wen Feng rushed out from inside, “Aunty, go to the nurse’s for dinner.”
“Oh, don’t call your mother!” After saying that, he got in the car and left.
Wen Feng looked back at Zhang Lian who was sitting on the kang, and went back to the house without saying anything.
What do you say when you go in? My aunt won’t let you go to the nanny’s house for dinner? He shouldn’t be beaten yet.
When they returned home, the two entered the house carrying things. When the people in the yard saw it, they joked.
“Buying so many things? Are you two bringing the set back?”
“Xiaohui, what do you buy delicious?”
Yu Conghui looked at the elder brothers of these uncles and uncles and smiled: “Don’t leave at night, eat at home, brother, you call my sister-in-law and help me cook together?”
“You just call home and she embroiders the insoles at home.” The thin and tall man laughed.
She made a call, and the woman over there responded with a hearty voice, and came over within five minutes before and after, rolled up her sleeves, tied her apron, and began to help Yu Conghui with cooking.
There are a lot of dishes at home in the evening. After all, there are a lot of men who help at home today. According to the amount of one dish for one person, at least thirteen dishes have to be prepared, and the portion is quite sufficient.
Guanhe moved a stool and helped pick and wash vegetables here. There was no water at home. The water in the water tank was still cleaned by someone who came to help. Then he went to the well. The water here is also sweeter than the city. The water in it is delicious.
The taps of their new house in Mocheng have installed filters. There are more than 3,000 filters. If they are not installed, the quality of the water is not so good to be honest. Even if it is boiled, the taste is not as dry as the water here. I heard this Mountain spring water is on the side.
“Xiaohui!”
“What?” Yu Conghui looked at Guan He.
“I can’t as well drill a well in the yard for my aunt and install a motor pump so that I can drink water every day, and I don’t have to wait for tap water every two days.”
Guo Yujie, who was packing clothes inside, said, “Don’t waste that money. I’m an old lady. Who can drink as much as I can’t finish this big tank in two days.”
“Don’t worry, wait until you need it later.” Yu Conghui followed his mother this time, which is really not very useful.
But when I heard the uncle’s sister-in-law’s ears, Guanhe’s son-in-law was right.
Think about Zhang Lian’s daughter-in-law, and then look at Guanhe’s son-in-law. The gap is even bigger. Guanhe is still a city person, and he doesn’t dislike this mother-in-law.
Look at Zhang Lian’s virtues. The mother-in-law has cooked food for their family for more than ten years and served the two children.
The dinner was very hearty, with tomato scrambled eggs, cold cucumber, shredded pork beans, braised mackerel, fried octopus, etc. There were a large table full of them. Fortunately, the soil kang in the countryside is big, otherwise, how can we put so much? People, even so, two tables are put together, and there are two people standing underground.
Yu Conghui didn’t drink, so naturally they didn’t go to the kangtou, so they set up a table in another kang room, and the old aunt and the children from the uncle’s family also called over. The women and children are here.
Unscrew a few big buckets of juice and pour them on. The old house, which was still uninhabited, was particularly lively tonight.
Wen Xiao and Wen Feng also came over, and Zhang Lian himself was left over there. As for what to eat, no one cares. Anyway, there are all kinds of rice and noodles at home. If you don’t make it, you will starve to death.
“Mom, tomorrow is Xiangzhuang Collection, let’s go around, sister-in-law?”
“Go! What time do I leave, I’ll call you over.”
“I’ll follow.” Guo Xiaowei said hurriedly. This is the grandson of the uncle’s family and the son of the second sister-in-law.
Guo Yujie pondered, “What do you buy when you go?”
“The pots, bowls and spoons, but all at home, these plates are borrowed from Ersao tonight. I will buy some tomorrow and pour them out for Ersao to send.”
“Hey, this is all for the broken copper and iron in the house, and it’s not worth much. Aunty, use it.”
“That won’t work!” Guo Yujie shook his head, “I was in a hurry to find a pen at night. We discussed and discussed what to buy, but I was forgotten by the time.”
“understood.”
After dinner, everyone had tea and chatted here for a while, and they all left around eight o’clock.
Yu Minghui left at the latest, and he talked to Guo Yujie for a while in that room, and Yu Conghui didn’t listen to what he said.
The eldest brother is also in despair these days, so don’t shave his face at this time.
It was almost nine o’clock that Yu Minghui came over to say hello, then lifted his foot and walked away. It seemed that there was nothing sad about it. After all, although I don’t live under one roof, I still live in a village. It’s convenient to come and stroll every day. Nevertheless.
The two went to Guo Yujie’s room and saw that she was holding two hundred yuan in her hand, “Your brother gave it to me.”
“Give it to you!” Yu Conghui didn’t care at all, it should be, and this little money is not too much at all.
The hot kang has been burned, and there are kang mats on it. It is not to mention that it is more comfortable to sit on the hot kang. Guan He likes this hot kang very much. The pure natural fire kang is not comparable to air conditioning and heating.
“Tonight you are spreading the old bedding. Mom has washed it. It’s useless to put it there.”
“When will my new wedding bedding be ready? Wait for a set at home.”
“That’s not okay. It’s the rule of our hometown to cover three floors and four covers. You have to take them all. But after getting married, if you want to sleep at home, then Mom will make one more set for you.”
Guan He nodded, “That aunt will make one more set. I like this kind of bedding.”
“Okay!” Guo Yujie smiled very kindly, “Xiaohui, your sister-in-law is so personal and can’t change it. After you marry in the city, you won’t come back often. Don’t be familiar with her. After all, it is Wen Xiao and Wen Feng. My dear mother, the children are so old, is the divorce still unsuccessful? I haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Isn’t it wrong to not be filial to you? She’s not filial, she just treats you like a cow, my mother, who is Conghui, who gives her the confidence to bully you? You don’t care that it is your business. I can’t understand her, I know I want to be a demon all day long, I really think she is so amazing.”
“Look at you, you can get angry if you are not in front of you. This temper has changed. Xiaoguan, Xiaohui, you can bear this temper more in the future. Sometimes she is a little irritable, but she is a good boy.” Looking at the girl, immediately How could Guo Yujie not worry in her heart because she was about to marry.
Guan He nodded and smiled: “Auntie, don’t worry, I know Xiaohui is good. It doesn’t matter if she has a bad temper. I have a good temper and can let her.”
“Hey, you are all good boys. Don’t worry about anything in the future. I have discussions and ideas. I don’t have any other ideas. I just want to watch the two of you and Hemeimei.”
“We understand.”
At night, the two of them lay in the warm blankets, and Guan He kept talking comfortably.
“In the future, we will often come back to see my auntie. Anyway, it takes only two hours to drive. It is the building where we live. Don’t let the earthen stove be used, otherwise I have to put a piece of earthen kang at home.”
Yu Conghui sneered, “Think beautifully.”
After the effect, she thought of Xu Ning.
After telling Guan He about what happened in the imperial capital, he sighed and said, “As for this incident, Zhang Lian is making me intolerable.”
“Does the Xu family’s cousin know about this?” Guan He asked.
Yu Conghui shook his head, “I don’t know, let my uncle and sister-in-law stop me, otherwise my mother was not at the same time. Maybe they could do something embarrassing when they had dinner on the last night.”
“It’s really not good to ask for money from others. The key is that the family’s life is not difficult, at least there is no worries about eating and drinking, and every year there is surplus money.” Guan He’s outlook on life and values are still very positive, and his life since childhood can’t be said. Rich and wealthy, at least my parents had jobs before, and now they are also receiving pensions. They have never suffered since they were young, and they often have pocket money in their hands. In addition, they also have their own stores now, and the shops are still their own. If you don’t want to open a store in the future, it’s just that the rent for the store is a lot of money every year.
Yu Conghui agrees, “What I said is that I am actually very excited about the Xu family’s family background, but it’s not mine, so I don’t have the face to take advantage of it.”
“It’s not a shame to like money itself. Nowadays, who doesn’t like money in society, the key is that there is no money and it is not just about eating and drinking. But we make money by our own ability, and it is commendable that we don’t take advantage of it.”
“You know how to flatter.” Yu Conghui glared at Guan He in a strange way.
Guan He smiled, put her in his arms, and said nothing.
“Cousin Xu Ning is actually a very good person. I went to play there this time and arranged a five-star hotel for us. The food was very good. She also looked for a tour guide to take us around in the Imperial City. This time we went out. It didn’t cost much, and I came back with so many special products and gifts. I just gave away those cosmetics. The total value was more than 100,000 yuan. Not to mention the milk powder and tea. I was very content.”
“I just like your contentment.” Guan He said with a smile.
